OF ILLINOIS In compliance with the provisions of the Constitution and By-Laws of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois, the eighty- first annual meeting was held in the City of Chicago, at Oriental Consistory Bldg., commencing on Tuesday, the 12th day of October, A. D. 1920, A. L. 5920, at 10 o'clock a. m., and was opened in ample form by Bro. Daniel G. Fitzgerrell, most worshipful grand master. Bro. Owen Scott was appointed to act as junior grand warden. Musical Concert. At 9 130, preceding the meeting of the grand lodge, a musi- cal programme was rendered by the boys' and girls' band from Illinois Masonic Orphans' Home at LaGrange. It was greatly enjoyed by all. On motion, a vote of thanks of the grand lodge was given those who participated. Prayer. Rev. Bro. Rufus A. White, the right worshipful grand chaplain, led the devotions. 456^^4 Proceedings of the [October 12, Eternal and all pervading spirit whose presence is in the beauty of the dawn and the purple glory of the twilight, we seek Thy blessing and return our thanks. We thank Thee for this wonderful organization in which we are hon- ored by being members. We thank Thee that we are the keepers of great principles; that our organization is one of the great heirs of the teachings of the past. We pray Thee that as members of this organization we may be worthy of the great trust that has been imposed upon us; that Masonry shall be to us something more than a mere service of the lips; that it shall be an eternal flame in our hearts, lighting our way and the ways of others unto righteousness and peace. We thank Thee for the potential power of such an organization as this, and we pray that some time we shall make ourselves not merely in theory but in daily practice worthy of the great principles which we profess. We thank Thee in particular for the great opportunity of service which has been presented to us here today as these young representatives of one of our kindly institutions have come into our presence and looked into the faces of the men who are helping them up through childhood to manhood and womanhood and into American opportunities. Our hearts have been very deeply stirred and there has been moisture in our eyes as we have listened to the music and looked into the faces of these children who are the wards of our generosity and our kindness. Open our hearts. Give us the spirit of generosity that will in every possible way support and maintain institutions like this. Bless our great fraternity throughout the state, throughout the land. We thank Thee also for our citizenship. We bless Thee that our lot has been cast here in this great American nation. Let us have love for every other people on the face of the earth. Let us have that large and generous generosity that includes in our doctrines of fellowship and brother- hood the real interest of peoples of all races and all tongues. But oh Thou Infinite Spirit of the dawn and the twilight, fill our hearts with a more lasting love for this particular land of ours, land of our birth or the land of our adoption; the land that grants us opportunities, the largest freedom and the noblest fellowship, that is granted to any people on the face of the earth. Teach us that American citizenship is something more than an opportunity; that it is a responsibility, large, splendid, which no true man and especially no true Mason can evade. Deepen our sense of responsibility to our Nation. Make us true Ameri- cans, as we would be true Masons and if we are true Masons, we are also true Americans, in every act and every part of our lives. 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 5 Bless the coming together of these representatives of our great body of Masonry here in our splendid state of the great middle West. May dignity mark all of its sessions; may the spirit of kindness, of brotherhood preside here in all its councils. So we ask Thee make us generous; keep us true; influence us with the largest conception of what Masonry means; that as men and women we may do our duty and serve our country, and maintain not only in days of war, but in time of peace, the honor and glory of the old flag which we all honor, and which symbolizes the great principles of our American citizenship. Amen. The grand marshal, with the grand stewards, retired and returned with the flag, and presented it to the grand master who placed it in the grand East while the brethren sang "America."

Emmett Howard, chairman of the Committee on Credentials, announced that representatives from a constitu- tional number of lodges were present, and asked further time to complete their report. The rec^uest was granted. Report of Grand Master. The grand master, Bro. Daniel G. Fitzgerrell, presented his annual report. To THE Brethren of the Grand Lodge: ' ' He longest lives. Who for others serves and gives Himself forgetting." These lines express the genius and spirit of the Masonic fraternity. The true Mason thinks less of self and more of others. Altruism is his creed. True, it may be said, that all do not attain to this ideal. Yet, the craft as a whole stands for the uplift and betterment of humanity. Conditions of the world are unsettled. Agitation and unrest are wide- spread. The greatest war in history could not do otherwise than bring 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 7 about social chaos. In society rebuilding Masonry has a vital part. The difference between America and Europe is that here fraternity and the rights of man rule. Over there hatred, greed and jealousy bear sway. There are discontent and dissatisfaction in certain elements in our country. On the whole, however, substantial progress is in the making. The closing of another Masonic year invites us into the realm of retrospect. While there has been during the past an occasional departure from the true path among lodges and brethren; yet the percentage is so exceedingly small as to be almost negligible. With more than 200,000 names on our rolls, it would be a miracle indeed if all would heed the true teach- ings of the fraternity. Privileges and responsibilities have come but the intense loyalty of the Masons of Illinois has lightened the burden on the shoulders of the grand master. In no quarter has there been a suggestion of unwillingness to serve when brethren were given a work to do. In preparation for grand lodge I was congratulating myself that the silent messenger had not called for any of our own grand lodge officers during the past year. Almost in a twinkling of an eye the summons came for three of our most loved and most faithful members. Joseph E. Dyas At the annual conclave of the Grand Commandery at Eock Island Bro. Joseph E. Dyas was stricken with apoplexy while at a banquet of past grand commanders. He was taken to a hospital at once and died during the night of September 2. Bro. Dyas has served continuously on com- mittees of this grand lodge for over 40 years. At the time of his death he was a member of the Committee on Jurisprudence. He had been sig- nally honored by other bodies affiliated with Masonry. He had been Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter, E. A. M. of Illinois and had presided over the General Grand Chapter of the United States as General Grand High Priest. He was a Past Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery Knights Templar of Illinois. In his life as a citizen, as a man and a Ma- son he had always stood for the highest and best things in the community. Chas. F. Tenney Almost at the same time came the death of Bro. Charles F. Tenney one of the Grand Stewards of this grand lodge. He has held this place for a number of years. Bro. Tenney 's great service to the craft came in connection with ritualistic instruction. He it was that was instrumental in reviving the schools that have since done so much for Masonry in Illi- nois. It was in 1880 that Bro. Tenney secured the Board of Grand Exam- iners and held a school of instruction at his home at Bement. No provision had been made by the grand lodge and he paid the expenses himself. Proceedings of tJie [October 12, No schools had been held for four years. For many years Bro. Tenney was a grand lecturer and member of the Board of Grand Exam- iners. For a long time he served as a district deputy grand master. In every place and station he was most faithful and efficient. For a number of years Bro. Tenney has felt the weight of advancing age. He has not been able to be at grand lodge for the past few years. Bro. G. A. Stadler, who for a lifetime has been his most intimate companion, went each year to Beraent and installed him as grand steward. Truly a mighty man in the Masonic Israel has fallen. Anthony Doherty There are times that the human heart is so bowed down with grief that ordinary words are so futile as to be meaningless. Such was my con- dition on September 6th, when a long-distance message brought me the crushing news that Anthony Doherty, our junior grand warden, has been felled by that ruthless destroyer — apoplexy. From the first moment he became unconscious and never again uttered a word. Immediate medical aid was procured and he was taken to the Decatur and Macon County Hospital. Here every service was rendered but to no avail. On Wednes- day morning, September 8th at 4 o 'clock, he breathed his last, with three sons and one daughter at his bedside. From my arrival in Decatur on Monday afternoon until he went into the silent land, I never left him. He had in the many years I had known him so endeared himself to me that I could scarcely reconcile myself to his going away. The funeral was held September 10th at his home in Clay City, where he had resided for a half century. Owing to his wide acquaintance there was a very large attendance of friends and neighbors. Few men are accorded such a testimony of appreciation as that given him by the people of Clay County and Southern Illinois. Many grand officers and prominent Masons came from every part of the state to pay a last tribute to his memory. For the purpose of con- ducting the funeral ceremonies I opened an occasional grand lodge due record of which will appear in the proceedings. Further consideration with details in each case, will be given by the Committee on Obituaries. The Masonic Homes The general statement is that the Homes at Sullivan and LaGrange are in excellent condition. The excessive cost of all the essentials of life makes it pretty difficult to finance them. Of course no one will object to the expenditure of all that is necessary to secure the comfort and happi- ness of the children and those at Sullivan. It is very difficult to anticipate the financial requirements and the Board is sometimes at a loss to know how to meet conditions as they arise. 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 9 At LaGrange It has been necessary to enter upon very extensive improvements in the way of more adequate housing facilities. The building of a south wing to the original building is under way. This will provide a dormitory for the girls and a hospital to be used in emergencies. As it is now, in case of diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other contagious disease, all the chil- dren would be quarantined and kept from school. The new hospital will be so arranged as to segregate any or all groups of afflicted children. Another imperative demand is for a new heating plant. This is under way. In connection with this a laundry is to be provided. All this requires a large sum of money. From appropriation of the war fund made one year ago and from donations the sum in hand amounted to about $173,000.00. This was not sufficient but these improvements could not wait. Despite the excessive cost of building they are under construction. The Board of Managers in charge of the construction of additional buildings at LaGrange have submitted a careful estimate of their needs at this place. A gift has been made by Oriental Consistory of Chicago which is much appreciated. Mizpah and America Lodges have voluntarily agreed to furnish the dormitory in part. A gift of $1,023.46 has come from Ozias Stotts. Apollo Lodge has donated $757.27 to each of the homes out of their emergency fund and in the name of Brethren Victor Otto Crane and David Eisendrath Ellbogen, two of their members who were killed in action in France. Other donations have been received to assist in furnishing manual training and domestic science departments. After going over very carefully the report made by the Chairman of the Boarfl of Managers, it appeared that in all there was needed $20,000.00 for the completion of this work in addition to the sum heretofore appropriated. In view of the necessity I authorized the expenditure of $20,000.00 in addi- tion for the completion of the work. At Sullivan It is a pleasure to note the present very satisfactory condition. The people are so ■well cared for in the hospital and the Home that there is a fine spirit among the members. Persons who have recently visited there are free to say that a better condition never existed. It is my sincere desire that many others may go and see what is being done. The problem at Sullivan is the farm. There are people who seem to think that its proceeds should go far toward supporting the Home. Such a view can only be held by those unfamiliar with the land. Of the 464 acres in the farm not more than 130 acres are capable of producing large crops. The remainder is along the creek running through the farm. This is rough and hilly and the soil is poor. A portion is covered with timber. 10 Proceedings of the [October 12, It is the belief of many that the farm management should be separated from the Home itself. It is difficult to find a superintendent who is capa- ble of running the farm and the. Home at the same time. If all, except the portions needed for the Home plant, could be let on a long-time lease the annual rental would be a larger asset than the proceeds as now con- ducted. The great advantage of this arrangmement, however, would be in relieving the management from the labors and cares of running the farm. The report of the Board of Managers will give full details of the work of the Homes for the past year. For sometime it has been apparent that the management of the Homes at Sullivan and LaGrange should be separated. It is my belief that the Homes can be conducted more economically and with greater efficiency by such division. I therefore, recommend that the Code be amended in sub- stance as follows: That the Home Board at Sullivan be composed of three members; that the Home Board at LaGrange shall have a like number and in addition to the three appointive members that the grand master and deputy grand master be ex-officio members of each Board. Physical Qualifications One year ago an amendment was made to Section 443 of the Code regarding physical qualifications. This provided for an iiwestigation by the grand master as preliminary to the granting or refusing of a dispen- sation to allow those to petition who were not physically qualified un-ler the law as it stood. I found so many applications being made that it would have been impossible for me to have gone into all these cases. In order to make sure that I was acting in accordance with the best interest of the fraternity, I called together the Grand Master's Advisory Council. This was attended by all the elective officers of the grand lodge together with chairmen of the various committees. After a very thorough consideration it was the consensus of opinion of the Advisory Council that the grand master should not enter upon what seemed a hopeless task. I did not shrink from the labor and responsibility involved by the consideration of the many cases that would come to me from various lodges of the state. Following the recommendation of the Advisory Council I was of the opinion that it was safer and wiser to allow the lodges to follow the letter of the old law rather than to attempt to act under the spirit of the new. Whereupon a circular was issued under date of December 1, 1919, which fully explained the situation and which no doubt is on file in the office of the secretary of each lodge. For the foregoing reason I have declined to consider any cases that have been brought up under the amendment adopted one year ago. National Defense Fund The committee in charge of the National Defense Fund found that the work they were doing at Ft. Sheridan and Great Lakes was no longer needed 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 11 and determined to close their activities at those places. Following this the question comes as to the disposition of the balance of the National De- fense Fund. One year ago it was found that where money was donated for a specific purpose and conditions had so changed that this could not be carried out, the object, the nearest approaching to the original intention, was adopted in connection with the dollar war fund. This was found to be the spirit of the execution of the law in civic cases. In view of this, I am of the opinion that the $57,172.47 left in the National Defense Fund should be appropriated for the construction of additional buildings yet to be erected at LaGrangc. I therefore recommend that this disposition be made of the National Defense Fund. Chain Letter Idiocy During the last few years those who wanted to raise money discovered the chain letter method of getting into the pockets of the unsuspecting. The effort for a McKinley monument by chain letter, though often de- nounced as a rank fraud still occasionally shows its head. The latest movement is a chain prayer to ward off calamity. Such superstitious nonsense scarcely merits any notice. Brethren have been im* portuned to send this prayer to nine others and each of these to nine and so on in ever* widening circles. This annoyance has become so great that at the request of those who have been so prayerfully afflicted, I suggest that each break his link of the chain at the first opportunity. It is need- less to assure sensible people that no danger will ensue. Eeflecting on Masonry From different points in the state complaints have come to me regard- ing outside organizations drawing their members exclusively from the Masonic fraternity. By connecting the word ' ' Mason " or ' ' Masonic ' ' with their activities impression was left upon the public that these organizations were part of the Masonic institution. In advertising public demonstrations so much of the circus and cheap show variety was given as to bring ridicule and reproach upon Masonry. Having their stunts and shows in Masonic temples cast odium upon the Craft. It became necessary to call attention of Masons to this condition. Consequently under date of November 8, 1919, I sent a letter to each lodge and ordered it to be read at three separate stated meetings. At the same time I took this up with Je?se K. Seeright at Pittsburgh, Pa., Grand Monarch of the Grotto of the United States. Very promptly he replied deploring the cause of complaint. He says "1 know from the tone of your letter that you had ample cause to send out the letter. ' ' Following this on December 30, Grand Monarch Seeright is- sued an edict to all Grottoes forbidding the actions about which complaint was made. I especially appreciate the prompt action and proper spirit 12 Proceedings of tlie [October 12, shown by the Grand Monarch and am convinced that local organizations were ignorant of what they did. A Peknicious Practice From more than one lodge have come complaints that Masons are be- ing solicited in and around lodge meetings to petition bodies other than Masonic. This has gone so far and the abuse has become so flagrant that Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts are thus solicited to join so-called "higher bodies of Masonry." Even persons who have been elected to take the de- grees in Masonry and have not been initiated have been urged to sign petitions to unite with these other organizations. Such practices are most reprehensible. The impression on the candi- date is that Masonry is nothing more than a vestibule through which he can become a ' ' higher Mason. ' ' There are no higher degrees in Masonry. It is not my purpose here to inveigh against other organizations that see fit to draw their material from the fraternity. In many of these I hold agreeable membership. The difficulty is not in the organizations them- selves but in the ignorant and frenzied zeal displayed by some of their members. Every lodge and every master should see that each Master Mason is well grounded in the principles and ritual of Masonry. This cannot be done if he is swept on by the tide of those who care more for buttons and charms than for the fundamentals of the ancient craft. Unless over-zealous and fanatical members of so-called "higher bodies" can be curbed, it may become necessary to invoke disciplinary measures to safeguard the ancient craft. Charter Arrested Information came to me that in Locust Lodge No. 623, Owaneco, Illi- nois, flagrant violations of the law pertaining to the ballot had been per- mitted. On May 1, 1920, ballots were taken on six petitions. Three candi- dates were elected in regular order. The three others were declared elected on the third ballot. At various times during the voting, speeches were made concerning the merits and demerits of the petitioners. On one peti- tion all the members present, except one, exposed their ballots before cast- ing them. The facts just stated are from the report of R. W. Bro. Arthur E. Wood, senior grand warden, who as my proxy visited the lodge and fully investigated the case. R.W. Bro. E. J. Scarborough, D. D. for the 76th district assisted in the investigation. On receipt of the information as detailed, I gave them notice and cited them to show cause why the 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 13 charter should not be arrested. On reeonimendation of E. W. Bro. Wood, the charter was taken. TTiere are many considerations in this case requir- ing further investigation. For these reasons I recommend that the charter and property of the lodge be left in the hands of the Incoming grand master with power to act as circumstances may seem best for the interests of the lodge and of Masonry. Charges Ordered Preferred On or about September 5, 1919, my attention was called to a letter addressed to Bro. Ealph H. Wheeler, past grand master, under date of August 27, 1919, and signed Jacob Euehl in which the author of the letter demanded to know of Bro. Wheeler whether or not he had made certain statements. Under date of September 1st another letter was addressed to Bro. Wheeler signed by the same person in which the writer viciously attacked the past grand master and the grand lodge for its action in abolishing the use of the German Language in conferring the degrees. Investigation developed the fact that Bro. Euehl was a member of Erwin Lodge No. 121 of St. Louis, Mo. This matter was brought to the attention of the Grand Master's Advisory Council on November 10th and upon its recommendation, after a conference with the grand master of Missouri, I ordered charges i:)referred against Bro. Euehl in Siloam Lodge No. 780; said charges were brought and a commission appointed. Mr. Euehl was indefinitely suspended from the enjoyment and exercise of all the rights and privileges of Masonry within the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of the State of Illinois. Master Deposed Serious difficulties have arisen in John Paul Jones Lodge No. 1013. Under date of September 2, 1919, complaint of gross unmasonic conduct was made by the senior warden, junior warden, senior deacon and marshal against Aaron Bloom Harris, worshipful master of said lodge. These charges accused the master with violating Sec. 396 of the code by opening his lodge before the hour fixed in the by-laws and allowing the members present to vote on petitions for the degrees. It was charged that during the time of this balloting the doors were locked and other members were denied admission. He was also charged with falsifying the records of the lodge; permitting candidates to be advanced without examination ; falsely declaring the ballot clear; permitting members present to decline to vote on petitions ; falsely reporting all members of investigating committees as favorable; allowing nude women in indecent entertainment, under the auspices of the lodge, when persons not masons were present and paying for this out of the lodge treasury and refusing to account for $200.00 paid out of the lodge funds for the trial of a member of the lodge on charges 14 Proceedings of tlie [October 12, preferred against him. The charges and complaints were of such a serious nature that I appointed a commission consisting of Brethren Eobert N. Holt, William H. Beckman and Richard Kropf as a commission to hear the evi- dence and make report. The finding of the commission after a full hearing was that the defendant was guilty and recommended that he be deposed from his office as master of the lodge and that he be expelled from Masonry. Acting on this report by authority of 1008 of the Code,. I deposed Aaron Bloom Harris from the office of master of John Paul Jones Lodge No. 1013 and placed the lodge in charge of the senior warden. After doing this I suspended him until this session of the grand lodge. Masonic Service Association It will be recalled that the Grand Lodge last year authorized the Grand Master to appoint a committee to investigate the Masonic Service Associa- tion and report at this meeting. Accordingly I appointed past grand masters Leroy A. Goddard, Owen Scott and Alexander H. Bell and requested them to attend the conference held at Cedar Eapids, Iowa, November 11, 12 and 13, 1919. Brethren Scott and Bell were present but Bro. Goddard was unable to go. Each reported to me separately. The committee was unanimous in recommending that this grand lodge refrain from becoming a member. It was the feeling that it was the opening wedge to a general grand lodge. If not, it had no other visible function. Each grand lodge in case of great emergencies can act more speedily and effectively without waiting for the machinery of the Service Association to get in motion. The expense would be large. A per capita tax of 5 cents is provided for in the law of the Service Association. This would amount to some $10,000 each year for Illinois. For these reasons I recommend that Illinois, with a number of other grand lodges, do not become a member of the Masonic Service Association of the United States. Schools for Instruction The usual schools were held during the first months of the year. It is with much pleasure that I testify to the efficiency of the Board of Grand Examiners, charged with the work of instruction. Seldom, if ever, were better schools held than those of 1920. After so many years it might seem that these meetings need not be. The exceedingly high grade of the work in Illinois can only be maintained by the continuance of this system which has wrought such excellent results. No other grand jurisdiction excels and few can equal the work done in Illinois. The instructors for this year have my special thanks and appreciation. History of Standard Work There has been compiled from the proceedings of the grand lodge a history of the standard work, giving a sketch of the methods of instruction 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 15 from the beginning. A brief account is given of the origin of the ritual with the details of times, places of the schools and names of grand masters and members of all the Boards of Grand Examiners. This has required much labor in searching through grand lodge records since 1840 for the informa- tion given. I deem it fitting at this time to say that this work was under- taken by Owen Scott, past grand master, of his own motion and with no thought or expectation of remuneration. That this history may be preserved and be readily accessible I recommend that the same be printed in the pro- ceedings of this year. Installations Being unable to be present at the time of their appointment I caused Brother H. S. Albin to be installed in Siloam Lodge by Bro. Ira J. Mc- Dowell and Bro. C. F, Tenney in Bemeut Lodge by Bro. Geo. A. Stadler. The George Washington Memorial During the past year the work of promoting the George Washington Masonic National Memorial has been actively carried on. Past grand master Owen Scott, originally appointed by our late Bro. Austin H. Scrogin as the Chairman for Illinois, was re-appointed. During the session of the Grand Lodge one year ago I called together the district deputy grand masters to consider the campaign for raising our quota of the funds neces- sary to erect the proposed memorial temple. At that time it was reported that Bro. Scrogin had said repeatedly that he would give $100 for a life membership. Before he did so, the Silent Messenger called him home. Whereupon the one hundred district deputies gave one dollar each and the wish of our departed brother was carried out. It was my privilege to have the certificate of life membership so procured framed and placed in the hall of Lexington Lodge No. 482 with suitable ceremonies. The campaign for funds for the George Washington Memorial has gone forward with vigor and the success has been marked. It is the intention to close all activities on this line in this grand jurisdiction by January 1, 1921. It is with special pleasure that I testify to the excellent work of the deputies of the various districts. It may be true that in a few cases they were not as active as the merits of the cause demanded. Almost all of these deputies, how- ever, were faithful and efficient and their efforts are most heartily appre- ciated. They were the key that unlocked the Masonic storehouse of Illinois. Our success could not have been achieved without them. The magnitude and importance of this great movement to establish a Masonic center at the capital of the nation has grown upon me as I have come into fuller knowl- edge of what is proposed to be done. I hope therefore, that the grand lodge itself may at this session see its way clear to make a substantial con- tribution to this cause. When this work is completed and this memorial 16 Proceedings of tlie [October 12, temple erected, it will prove to be the mecca to which all Masons will be glad to make a pilgrimage. All money collected has been paid by the district deputies directly to the grand treasurer who will report the same to the grand lodge. In connection with this fund it is only fair to say that the Chairman for Illinois, Bro. Owen Scott, gave without stint of his time and energy, spending many days away from home when his personal affairs demanded his attention. Whatsoever success attained is due to his untiring efforts and the district deputy grand masters who so ably and willingly assisted him. Quarterly Lists of Eejections, Etc. The law provides that the grand secretary shall transmit to every lodge once in each quarter a list of all rejections, suspensions, expulsions and reinstatements. This seems no longer to be necessary or of any practical value. Few lodges do more than read the title pages and throw them away. There is considerable labor required of the grand secretary in preparing, printing, and mailing these lists four times each year. This change was not suggested by the grand secretary but is made by me of my own motion. The cost to the grand lodge is considerable, amounting to about $800.00. I therefore recommend that this law be amended bj striking out paragraph K, Sec. 146 of the Code. Bequest Denied I have been asked to grant permission to a lodge outside of this Grand Jurisdiction to visit an Illinois lodge and confer a degree in the French language. This request was denied because our late Grand Master, Austin H. Scrogin, issued an edict, which was approved by the Grand Lodge, abolishing the use of all languages in the conferring of the degrees, except the American language, and because no reason exists, or did it ever exist, for the use of a language other than our own, in connection with Ancient Craft Masonry in Illinois. A New Code Needed The present edition of the Code has been exhausted. Since it was last printed there have been quite a number of changes and amendments made. In order that the law may be brought up to date I recommend that a com- mittee be appointed to compile the Code and revise the index to the same and have a supply printed for general use. Conclusion The foregoing shows what has been done during a trying, busy year. That mistakes have been made, no human will doubt. However, in good 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois ' 17 conscience and with a loyal devotion to our great fraternity these have been made as few as possible. Had I trusted in my own strength alone, my work would have fallen far short of what it is today. No one can ever fully know how much I appreciate the willing service rendered to me on all sides in solving the difficult problems that have been showered upon me. I am especially indebted to past grand masters Goddard, Scott and Bell for their invaluable counsel and assistance. JNTo man is big enough to be grand master without the assistance which comes from his official associates and from the true spirit of Masonry shown by all the craft. In these troublous days of world readjustment, humanity needs the higher ideals of Masonry as shown in the stalwart manhood of its membership. The malice and bitterness, so abundant since the end of the great struggle overseas, demands the sunshine of fraternity and good feeling to dispel the miasma of hatred which has infected the life blood of the nation. Could all men come together in the spirit of helpfulness rather than strife and greed the bright day described below would be ushered in. "When the armies of earth are disbanded And their trappings are coated with dust; When the musket forever is silent And the cannon is cankered with rust; When the sword and the helmet lie tarnished 'Mid the rubbish of pomp and display — We shall wake to the glorious dawning Of the promised Fraternal Day. And that day shall bring joy to the nations, For the glow of its generous light Shall invade the morasses of darkness And dispel the miasmas of night. Then the Empire of Right shall be founded. And the sway of its scepter increase Till mankind shall stand shoulder to shoulder In the ranks, not of war, but of peace; And the drones of oppression shall crumble And the hearts of the tyrants shall quake, And the haughty shall learn to be humble. And the mighty their mockings forsake; For the spirit of truth shall reign o'er us And Humanity's banner float free Till Fraternity's message is wafted To the uttermost isles of the sea." 18 Proceedings of the [October 12, The following is a detailed report of the Grand Master's office: Change in Districts At the suggestion of the Chicago District Deputy Grand Masters I made the following changes in the location of lodges in their districts: Lake Forest No. 1026 transferred from 18th district to the 21st dis- trict.

Bro. Delmar D. Darrah presented his report as Commit- tee on Correspondence. It was received, ordered printed in the proceedings and will be found in the appendix. Amendments Proposed. Bro. Robert J. Daly offered the following amendments to Code numbers 252, 253, 254, 255 and 256, and moved that they be referred to the Committee on Legislation. The motion being seconded by the representatives of more than twenty lodges, it was so referred. .Proposed amendments to the laws relating to the grand lodge by making Code numbers 252, 253, 254, 255 and 256 read as follows: 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 51 252. The supervision and management of the Masonic Homes estab- lished or controlled by the grand lodge shall be vested in tvro boards of managers, each consisting of three members, each of whom shall be a member of some constituent lodge in Illinois. The grand master and deputy grand master shall be ex-ofl&cio members of both boards. Each of the foregoing boards shall effect its own organization and administer its affairs by the adoption of such rules and regulations as are not inconsistent with the laws of the grand lodge, subject to the approval of the grand master or the grand lodge. The Illinois Masonic Home shall be under the supervision, control and management of a board of managers consisting of three members to be appointed by the grand master. In naming the first board, one member Shall be appointed for one year, one for two years and one for three years. Thereafter one shall be appointed each year to serve for three years. The board of managers for the Illinois Masonic Orphans Home shall have the same number and be appointed and serve in the same manner as the board for the Illinois Masonic Home. 253. Each board shall submit annually a report to the grand lodge, exhibiting in detail all its transactions during the preceding year, including all receipts and expenditures, and the reception, maintenance and discharge of members of the Homes under its charge, together with such recommenda- tions for consideration of the grand lodge in reference to the Homes as it may deem proper ; all of which shall be published in the annual proceedings of the grand lodge. 254. Each board of managers is authorized and empowered to employ such assistants for the clerical and administrative work of maintaining the homes as in its judgment the conditions demand, but always within the limits of the appi'opriation or resources at its command. 255. The members of the boards of managers shall be entitled to receive from the appropriations made for the homes, their actual and necessary traveling expenses incurred in attending meetings and shall be reimbursed for all actual and necessary traveling expenses which they incur in the dis- charge of their duties. 256. Money appropriated for the maintenance and management of the respective homes shall be paid out by the grand treasurer upon the warrant of the president of each board and attested by the secretary of each board. 52 Proceedings of tJie [October 12, Report — Committee on Grand Master's Annual Report Bro. Charles H. Spilman, chairman of the Committee on Grand Master's Report, presented the report of that commit- tee. On motion, it was adopted. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: The annual report of the Grand Master may be epitomized by quoting his expression that it has been ' ' a trying, busy year, ' ' for the record shows that most of the detail may indeed be classified under those headings. On the one side were various problems which called for solution, and on the other a record of achievement never before equaled. The gain of almost twice the largest previously recorded annual growth brings the membership to a figure above 200,000, and impresses as perhaps nothing else could the heavy responsibilities attaching in the jurisdiction of Illinois. It is a comforting thought that within this vast body there is comprehended the wisdom and strength necessary to cope with these responsibilities. The Grand Master fittingly directs our earliest thought to the loss of three useful and distinguished brethren; that their virtues may be recalled at greater length reference is made to the Committee on Obituaries. Much of the matter relative to the Masonic Homes hinges upon their proper support and maintenance, and the subject is therefore referred to the Finance Committee. There is, under this heading, however, a recommendation for amendment of the Code in the interest of efficiency, and this section is referred to the Committee on Legislation. The action of the Grand Master cited under the head of Physical Quali- fications, and supported by recommendation of the Advisory Council, has been reported in detail to all lodges, and is hereby formally approved. Approval is likewise extended to the recommendation in the National Defense Fund matter, and it is concurred in, being similar in all respects to action previously recognized by the Grand Lodge. Appeal is properly made to individual Masons to assist in checking the chain letter nuisance and the Grand Master's stand, which will do much to check the evil, is approved. The matters dealt with under the headings of "Keflecting on Ma- sonry ' ' and ' ' A Pernicious Practice ' ' should receive the earnest attention of every Mason in Illinois. They affect intimately the effect of foreign or remote matters upon the real Masonry, and the resultant attitude of the public in general and the Mason in particular. Under the pretence of 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 53 enterprise, interest in the work or the like, there are efforts put forth in which all else seems to be lost to sight except the acquisition of large numbers of candidates. This is not chargeable alone to any one branch or to any one division of fraternal endeavor. Men who last night were raised to the sublime degree of Master Ma- son are today or tomorrow hurried into other contacts. Before they have the slightest opportunity to observe the beauties of Masonry or assimilate and understand its theory and system their attention is drawn elsewhere, the result being a blurred general impression in which there is no logic and from which little may be expected. So extreme has the mad rush of promotion become that candidates who have merely signed a petition and who have never received a degree in the symbolic lodge are importuned to sign petitions for other degrees, grades or orders, predicated solely upon the fact that they may in due course be elected to and receive the degrees of the lodge. The Grand Lodge of Illinois cannot legislate for other bodies but it can and should take a position upon this matter and your committee be- lieves that it will be upholding the best interests of Masonry in endorsing the positive stand taken by the Grand Master. Human variability is such that in so great a body there must inevitably appear some individual frailties. The attention of the Jurisprudence Com- mittee is directed to such matters as are included under the headings "Charter Arrested," "Charges Ordered Preferred," and "Master De- posed. ' ' Investigation of the Masonic Service Association authorized at last year's session of the Grand Lodge has been made. The committee re- ported adversely, and the Grand Master's recommendation, predicated upon this, is concurred in. Deserved compliment is paid to the direction of the schools of instruc- tion, and to the preparation of the history of the standard work. The recommendation for inclusion of the latter in the proceedings is concurred in. The suggestions embodied in the George Washington Memorial Fund subject are referred to the Committee on Finance. Recommerdation concerning amendment of the code under Section 146, relating to printing lists of rejections is directed to the attention of the Committee on Legislation. Your committee affirms heartily the stand of the Grand Master con- cerning the use of foreign languages, and concurs in the recommendation that a suitable supply of the Code be provided. Careful examination has been made of the detailed report concerning routine matters — changes in districts, corner-stone laying, dedications, in- 54 Proceedings of the [October 12, stituting and constituting, appointments, dispensations, fees, new and de- funct lodges, and vacancies, and they being in thorough accord with estab- lished usage and custom are approved. A vast amount of work is modestly set forth by the Grand Master in his accounting to this Grand Lodge. Your committee feels that he is worthily entitled to that quiet satisfaction expressed in the words of Eobert Louis Stevenson when the latter said: ' ' I know what pleasure is, for I have done good work ' ' Fraternally submitted, C. H. Spilman, Wm. Fairlee, Geo. J. KURZENKNABE, Committee. Report — Committee on Lodges U. D. Bro. Wm. H. Beckman presented the report of the Com- mittee on Lodges U. D. The report was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: Whereas, The Ancient Free and Accepted Masons in Chicago and Cook County have for a number of years conducted an organized beneficence under the corporate name of "Illinois Masonic Hospital Association"; and Whereas, The purpose and objects of the Illinois Masonic Hospital Association are and have been: 78 Proceedings of the [October 12, To provide a place where all Master Masons and members of the Eastern Star, and those depending upon them, in the hour of darkness through sickness and injury can feel the grip of fellowship through the best medical services and care obtainable in the land, and under conditions and surroundings that will alleviate and cheer them to a speedy recovery; and Whereas, The crowded condition of Chicago hospitals, during the past two years have seriously handicapped the work of the Illinois Masonic Hos- pital Association, to the extent that the erection of a suitable institution for carrying on their work is urgently needed; and Whereas, The aforesaid Illinois Masonic Hospital Association pro- poses, through legitimate Masonic channels and methods, to finance, build and operate a Masonic Hospital of the latest and most approved type in the city of Chicago for the exclusive use of Masons, regardless of their lodge affiliation, and their dependents; therefore, be it Resolved, That this Most Worshipful Grand Lodge extend to the Illinois Masonic Hospital Association our approval and commendation of the splendid work they are doing and our hearty approval of their plan to erect a hospital. Report — Masonic Service Association Bro. Leroy A. Goddard, from the special committee ap- pointed by the grand master, read the following report. It was adopted. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: At the last annual communication of this grand lodge, the grand mas- ter in his report recommended that a special committee of three should be appointed to consider the question connected with the organization and purposes of the Masonic Service Association of the United States and to make report thereon at the next session of this grand lodge. The recommendation of the grand master was approved by this grand lodge and the grand master thereupon appointed as such committee of three the undersigned, Leroy A. Goddard, Owen Scott, and Alexander H, Bell. As such committee we were directed by the grand master to attend the meeting of the Masonic Service Association of the United States to be held in Cedar Eapids, Iowa, on November 11, 12, and 13, A.D., 1919. Pursuant to such appointment Brother Scott and Brother Bell at- tended the meeting of the Masonic Service Association of the United States 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 79 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on the dates above named. Brother Goddard found it impossible to attend. Afterward, the members of your committee had agreed to meet at Chicago on Monday, January 26th to consider the ques- tions involved and to formulate its report but unfortunately Brother Scott found it impossible to attend that meeting of the committee. It was then agreed between Brethren Goddard and Bell that Brother Bell should pre- pare a report, speaking for himself only and send a copy of it to the grand master and a copy also to Brethren Goddard and Scott. That Brother Goddard would then prepare a report, speaking for himself only, sending a copy of such report to Brethren Scott and Bell and that Brother Scott should be requested to do likewise. Such reports by us severally prepared were forwarded to the grand master and were by him published and we are advised that they were sent to all of the lodges in the state. We are now advised that it is expected that we shall make a report as a committee and we therefore as such committee make this report which is intended to be supplemental to the separate reports already published. Since the meeting at Cedar Eapids above referred to the proceedings at that meeting have been published in book form. They have been ex- amined with care by your committee so that while Brother Goddard was not personally present at the meeting he has become familiar with all that was done by reading such published report. Many grand lodges were rep- resented at that meeting. Many of the brethren had traveled a long dis- tance to attend the meeting and in our opinion the proceedings of that meeting plainly show that there was little or no occasion for any such convocation. The purposes of this association is to form some kind of a federation among the several grand lodges of the United States whereby in times of public peril there may be united action. It all results from a consideration of those questions which were incident to the late world war. There is, however, in the by-laws of such Masonic Service Association of the United States provision for an annual meeting thereof and it is provided in its proceedings that it would ' ' recommend to the grand lodges ' ' members of this association that a sum equaling to five cents per capita upon their respective members be appropriated annually; that the amount thus raised be held by the respective jurisdictions in which raised and that the execu- tive committee be and it is authorized to call for the payment from such funds ratably of such amount as the needs for carrying on the work de- cided upon by this association may require." It will be observed that this contribution levied upon the members of the several grand lodges is merely disguised as a recommendation but it is obvious that it is such a recom- mendation as must be assented to by all of the grand lodge members of the association and while it is provided that the amount thus raised shall remain in the several grand lodge treasuries yet that the executive com- mittee shall be authorized to call for the payment from such funds ratably 80 Proceedings of the [October 12, of such amounts as the need for carrying on the work decided upon by that association may require. If Illinois becomes a member of this association it means that we must appropriate annually the sum of over ten thousand dollars on our present membership of more than 200,000 Masons. The amount thus raised is to be disbursed for brethren who are in no wise connected with this grand lodge. For what is this fund to be used? "For carrj-ing on the work de- cided upon by this association." What is to be done? What objects are to be sought? What things are to be accomplished? Such work, such object, such things as that association may decide upon. This grand lodge, notwithstanding its large membership, finds itself constantly embarrassed because of its increasing expenses. To enter into this national organization would cost us at least ten thousand dollars a year and it is worth while to consider what good may we expect to receive or to be accomplished in return for the money thus expended. This national organization claims that it will be of great educational value to the fra- ternity throughout the land; that it will help educate the Masons of the United States to appreciate the beauty and dignity of the fraternity and to live conformably to its teachings. We are not willing to admit that this work has been neglected in Illi- nois. Everything that this Masonic Service Association of the United States claims that it will endeavor to accomplish has been receiving our careful consideration for many years and we have been accomplishing sub- stantial and satisfactory results by our own efforts in our own state along these lines. Nearly every representative who attended the Cedar Eapids meeting was prompt to resent the suggestion that this Masonic Service Association could develop into a national grand lodge and so far as we know nobody is in favor of a national grand lodge who will openly say so. But we know from experience that we cannot constitute a body and give it that indisputable attribute of sovereignty, namely to levy taxes, and ever reclaim the power thus given it short of a rebellion. We are not in favor of a national grand lodge. We verily believe that this Masonic Service Association of the United States will either in a few years begin to exer- cise the functions of such a national grand lodge or will disintegrate be- cause of its demonstrated uselessness. In our opinion there is nothing to justify this organization. There is nothing that can be attained by its existence. Of course it would promote good felloAvship to bring together distinguished Masons of the several states in annual conferences where they might shake hands, become acquainted with each other and have a good time. It would create a committee who might travel about over the country in gay junketing parties, paying liberal expense accounts out of the funds which can so easily come from the grand lodges which are members of the association. This association in our opinion has in it an element of real danger. We feel that Illinois can live very comfortably and happily without 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 81 it. We have lived in peace and harmony from the beginning. We started as a grand lodge in 1840 with a total constituent membership of less than 300 men and we have grown to a membership of more than 200,000. We have scores of splendid Masonic temples in our state, many hundred pros- perous lodges in our state and we believe that we are teaching and exem- plifying the principles which Masonry brings to humanity. We have taught the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God and with God's bless- ing we know that we can continue to forward this great work in accentuated measure as the years go by without becoming tributary to any national organization. If Illinois should become a member of this Masonic Service Association it is perfectly clear to us that we can never consistently and agreeably withdraw therefrom except by secession or expulsion. Neither of these methods are inviting to us. We, therefore, recommend that the grand lodge of Illinois do not affiliate with the Masonic Service Association of the United States; that hereafter representatives from this grand lodge be not sent to any of the meetings of that association. We take this occasion to express our appreciation of the courtesy and fraternal consideration with which the representatives of this grand lodge were received at the Cedar Eapids meeting. We shall bear in kind re- membrance the fraternal spirit which dominated the proceedings at that meeting but we are firmly of the opinion that Illinois should march tri- umphantly on in the way that has brought us so much of satisfaction with- out forming an alliance of any kind with any other grand lodge. All of which is respectfully submitted, Leroy a. Goddakd, Owen Scott, Alexander H. Bell, Committee. Detailed Reports of Committee on Masonic Service Association EEPOET OF BEO. LEEOY A. GODDAED To the Most Worshipful Grand Master: The report submitted by Bro. Alexander H. Bell, P. G. M., of the com- mittee appointed by you in relation to the Masonic Service Association is so lucid and so clearly convincing that there is but little for me to add further than my cordial endorsement of what he has said, and to assure you that I am in accord with all the arguments that he presents. It is evident to me that this Association's purpose, doubtless unwit- tingly, smacks of all the elements and purposes of a general or national Grand Lodge, with the exception that it has not assumed to regulate the standard work or ritual of any jurisdiction that may become associated therewith. I care not what name it has assumed or may hereafter assume. My conviction of this is emphasized by the first installment of literature 82 Proceedings of the [October 12, sent out after the recent meeting at Cedar Eapids, and I can see no other conclusion. I have before me under date of December 23rd, 1919, copy of letter addressed to our Grand Secretary, signed by Bro. George L. Schoonover, Chairman, propounding ten questions, and requesting answers, of which the last question is as follows: "Will the Grand Secretary notify the lodges as soon as practical that this Association proposes to build up a reservoir of information, etc., and distribute a booklet to the lodges with other cir- cular matter sent out by the Grand Secretary?" Why should he? I hardly believe he will unless directed to do so by our Grand Lodge or Grand Mas- ter. The other questions relate to Masonic conditions and activities in Illi- nois, the circulation of Masonic publications, building up a library, etc. As for Masonic conditions, peace and harmony prevail with us, and in activities we have for eighty years grown steadily in Masonic knowledge, in brotherly love, and in membership even beyond our greatest expectations. I do not believe we should invite the supervision or dictation of any organization that bids fair to provoke differences or even serious controversy among our now united Craft, even though it be composed of some of the best element of our fraternity. Already this disturbing feature is brewing. I was unable to be present at the meeting at Cedar Eapids, but I have read carefully all the proceedings and also the other literature since issued. There were many interesting speeches made. While the good things to be said about Freemasonry are always uplifting as well as entertaining, yet no argument whatever was presented sufficiently convincing that there is an important need for such an organization for the good of the Grand Lodges of the United States. Much literature also from this organization has already been prepared and sent to Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries, evidently aimed towards gaining information, promises and commitments with the view of exercising influence and more or less authority among the Craft, which, in Illinois, is given in charge solely to the Grand Lodge, and cannot be delegated even in part to any other assembly or organization whatever. To be more explicit, our Constitution distinctly provides that our Grand Lodge is the only source of authority and exercises exclusive jurisdiction in all matters pertaining to ancient Craft Masonry in Illinois. Tliis Constitution cannot be modified, amended or changed in any way whatever, except by vote of the individual membership of our jurisdiction. I question the right of our Grand Lodge to affiliate with any association that proposes to exercise the functions that are stated to be the purposes of this Association. It has no authority to consent to the levying of an annual appropriation of five cents per capita, or any other amount based upon the number of members toward the permanent support of this or- ganization, and I do not believe it will presume to do so. The Grand Lodge of Illinois is rounding out four score years of ser- vice in the upbuilding of higher citizenshij). Its Temple is without a blem- ish. Guided by the principles of the Fatherhood of God and the Brother- hood of Man, we have dwelt together in unity all these years, and we look on into the future with confidence and even brighter hopes than ever be- cause we see ahead opportunities for greater services, and we are better prepared to meet them than ever before. Why take any chances in com- mitting ourselves to any alliance that may prove an entanglement? I see no valid reason whatever why any part of the work that is within our borders and so near to own own hearts should be delegated to another organization even though it were beyond the experimental stage, binding 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 83 ourselves to pay annual tribute from our treasury and submitting to its requirements. The Conclusions of Bro. Bell are sound, and I heartily concur in his recommendation. Fraternally yours, Leroy a. Goddard, Chairman of the Committee. April 24, 1920. REPORT OF BRO. ALEXANDER H. BELL To the Most Worshipful Grand Master: You were pleased to name Brothers Goddard, Scott and me as a special committee to consider the questions involved with reference to the Masonic Service Association of the United States, and to express your desire that such committee attend the meeting of that organization to be held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on November 11, 12 and 13, A. D. 1919. Such committee was directed to report at a later date such conclusions or recommendations as it might reach. Since the date of the Cedar Rapids meeting such committee has had no meeting attended by all its members. We had agreed to meet at Chicago on Monday, January 26. I met Bro. Goddard at that time but Bro. Scott was not present. He had advised us that he could not attend. Bro. Goddard and I agreed that I should prepare a report speaking for myself only and send it to you and send a copy thereof to him and also to Bro. Scott. That Bro. Goddard would then make such report as might please him and send it to you and send also a copy to Bro. Scott and to me, and that we would request Bro. Scott to do likewise. I therefore fraternally report that Bro. Scott and I were present in Cedar Rapids at the opening of the meeting of the Masonic Service Asso- ciation of the United States on the morning of November 11th last. Three long sessions were held each day, morning, afternoon and night. Thirty-nine Grand Lodges were represented. Bro. Scott and I left Cedar Rapids about noon of the third day of the meeting. I presume that you have been supplied with a printed copy of the proceedings at Cedar Rapids and therefore I do not go into detail as to things done there. I paid closest attention to all that was said and done at that meeting. I was absolutely silent throughout, excepting that on the call of states alphabetically, when Illinois was called, I spoke briefly ex- pressing my misgivings as to the value of such National organization. No one can read the proceedings of this Cedar Rapids meeting without yielding to the conviction that there was really but little occasion for the meeting. Many representatives there had traveled long distances to attend that meeting and many of them were unreserved in their complaints that little or nothing desirable was being accomplished. My own opinion is that so long as this organization does nothing it will be harmless. Whenever it begins to do things it will become objectionable. It can become an active force only by exercising powers and functions hitherto exercised by the several Grand Lodges. This Masonic Service Association of the United States so long as it is the means of bringing together brethren of our different Grand Jurisdictions will no doubt be promotive of good fellowship and mutual regard. So long as it does only that it will be harmless but certainly needless, as naught but fraternal interstate relations now prevail. 84 Proceedings of tlie [October 12, Whenever this national organization assumes in any degree or upon any pretense to legislate for, or in any wise to control, or to levy its con- tributions upon Grand Lodges, it to that extent assumes the attributes of sovereignty and becomes a menace to the sovereignty of such Grand Lodges as submit to its exactions. The mania to form new organizations has given birth to this national movement. No necessity in my opinion has brought it into being. I found much pleasure in meeting many distinguished brethren at this Cedar Eapids meeting, and because I was one of the representatives of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, I was treated with courtesy and consideration, notwithstanding I was knoAATi to be sceptical as to the value of the or- ganization, if not absolutely opposed to it. If this Masonic Service Association of the United States is to exercise any control or direction over the Grand Lodges which enter into it, it be- comes a menace to their sovereignty. It is inevitable that it can have no power except as its constituent Grand Lodges give it, and to whatever ex- tent they give power to it, they deplete their own. It is my opinion that while the brethren who are prominent in this national movement are copious in their expressions that such a thing as a national Grand Lodge is farthest from their thoughts (and they are no doubt sincere in their professions,) yet, the encouragement of this organiza- tion or its continued activity becomes an ever present encouragement to make it the entering wedge for a National Grand Lodge. All experience shows that all governments and organizations are con- stantly seeking to enlarge their powers, and any power once conceded is never willingly relinquished. We need no national organization of any kind. I know of no desirable purpose which could be served by it. There is no National Grand Lodge of the British Empire. England has her Grand Lodge. Scotland and Ire- land have theirs. The several autonomous districts of Canada have re- spectively their Grand Lodge. And so it is as to Australia, New Zealand and all of the autonomous parts of the British Empire. So far as I know there is not now and never was a National Grand Lodge in the world. This Masonic Service Association of the United States is to meet an- nually. Ad interim an executive committee is the governing body. It is of no importance whether a National Grand Lodge be called by that name or by another. It is of little consequence whether a National Grand Lodge be directly constituted with full power and prerogative as such, or start with the most modest professions and tenuous organization but by gradual accre- tion of power develope into the National Grand Lodge which so far as 1 know, no one now has the temerity openly to favor. I know how power once granted and exercised tends to accretion. I know that when the people of France crushed their monarchy and humbled the pretentions of King Craft, they committed their government to three consuls, but the First Consul speedily became the ruler, and was acclaimed Emperor. The egg of an eagle may be no larger than the egg of a goose, but there is an eagle in it. This national movement is in process of incubation. No one knows what it will bring forth. If it becomes really active, it will disintegrate through the desertion of its members. If it do not become active it must dissolve through mere inanity. -1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 85 I believe that I am not au alarmist nor altogether a timid weakling but I do not favor such experiments as this Masonic Service Association invites. Its constitution and by-laws, its aims and objects, as set forth by it, are promotive of those things which we have been doing for many years. I am not willing to agree that a Masonic Service Association of the United States can do those things any better than we have done them. Nor am I ready to constitute it as a Masonic Over Lord for any purpose. It is provided in the report of tfhc finance committee of this Masonic Service Association of the United States, which report it adopted, that it ' ' recommends to the Grand Lodges, members of this Association, that a sum equal to five cents per capita upon their respective memberships be appropriated annually, that the amounts thus raised be held by the respective jurisdictions in which raised and the executive committee be and it is authorized to call for the payment from such funds ratalily of such amount as the needs for carrying on the work decided upon by this association may require. ' ' If Illinois become a member of this organization, it means that we must appropriate annually the sum of nine thousand dollars on our present membership, to be disbursed by brethren who are in no wise accountable to our Grand Lodge. For what is this fund to be used? "For carrying on the work decided on by this Association." What is to be done? What objects are to be sought? What things are to be accomplished? Such work, such objects, such things as that association may decide. It is said that the several Grand Lodges members of the association will determine from time to time as occasion may require, whether such payments shall be made or not. I am not able to see how a Grand Lodge which becomes a member of the association, and thereby subscribes to its by-laws and constitution, can have any choice except submission, secession or expulsion. Neither of these conditions is inviting to me. While cherishing a grateful recollection of the fraternal spirit with which the representatives of this Grand Lodge were received in Cedar Eapids, I am constrained to recommend that the Grand Lodge of Illinois remain as it has ever been, a sovereign Grand Lodge, paying tribute to no other organization, nor submitting to the rules, regulations or exactions of any other body no matter by what euphonious name it may be called. I recommend that the Grand Lodge of Illinois do not affiliate with this Ma- sonic Service Association of the United States and that hereafter repre- sentatives from this Grand Lodge be not sent to any of the meetings of that association. All of which is fraternally submitted, Alexander H. Bell, Of the Committee. April 28, 1920. EEPOET OF BEO. OWEN SCOTT To the Most Worshipful Grand Master: Pursuant to your appointment, as a member of the Committee on the Masonic Service Association of the United States in company with P. G. M., Alexander H. Bell. I attended the meeting at Cedar Eapids, Iowa, on Nov. 11, 12 and 13, 1919. A great deal of the time was spent in discussion, much of which had little bearing on the plans and purposes of the Association. In fact I felt that the time was almost needlessly employed. On the third day no definite 86 Proceedings of tlie [October 12, action having been taken, Bro. Bell and I came away. Wbatever conclu- sions were reached came after our departure. Since returning I have care- fully gone over the detailed report of the proceedings. Taking it altogether, I have a feeling that there is very little need for such an organization. The whole movement appears to hinge on the probability of another great war. There is so little likelihood of another world catastrophe, such as the war brought on, that the necessity for a National Association is very slight. In cases of great emergency, such as fire or flood, each Grand Juris- diction is quite capable of doing its duty and accepting the privilege of relieving the distressed on its own account. This has always been done with alacrity and no doubt will so continue in the future. The raising of a fund of 5c per member, as proposed, would produce about $100,000. I can see little reason for accumulating so large a sum. Unless there is some more definite and useful line of action than has been disclosed by the proceedings of the conference at Cedar Eapids, I do not think our Grand Lodge would be justified in spending the $9,000 that would be paid on its present membership. Fraternally, Owen Scott. May 1, 1920. Election of OflEicers.

So much of the report as related to appropriations was referred to the Com- mittee on Finance. The remainder of the report was adopted. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: Brethren : Your Board of Managers in charge of the Illinois Masonic Homes, fraternally submits the following report of its doings for the year ending September 30th, 1920. At the first meeting of the board held on October 16th, immediately following the last annual meeting of the grand lodge, Brother Eobert J. Daly, who had been reappointed to succeed himself and Brethren Alonzo Dolan and James McCredie, who had been appointed to succeed Brethren Louis L. Emmerson, who had resigned and Anthony Doherty, whose term had expired, qualified by their acceptance and thereupon the board effected its official organization as follows: Eobert J. Daly, President. James McCredie, Vice-President. Charles C. Davis, Treasurer. William D. Price, Secretary. The executive committees in charge of the homes were appointed as follows : Brethren Fletcher, Price and Daly for the home at La Grange and Brethren Davis, Dolan and McCredie for the home at Sullivan. Brother Proceedings of the [October 13, James B. Smith was continued as superintendent of the home at Sullivan and Brother and Mrs. George L. Hilliker as superintendent and matron of the home at La Grange. By action of the board, Brother J. F. Lawson, M.D., -was reappointed physician to the home at Sullivan and Brother Arthur E. Higgins, M.D., physician to the home at La Grange. Official Bonds Immediately following the re-election of Brother Davis as treasurer of your board of Managers, he filed a surety bond of twenty thousand dollars, ($20,000.00), for the faithful performance of his duties. In like manner. Brethren Smith and Hilliker each filed bonds of five thousand dollars, ($5,000.00), for the faithful performance of their duties. The board has held three called meetings. During the intervals between board meetings, the executive committees have attended to all of the details of administration and supervision of affairs pertaining to the operation of the homes. The superintendents have made comprehensive reports of the doings of the homes which reports are appended hereto and to which your careful consideration is invited. The Orphans' Home at La Grange Our family at La Grange has continued on its way in the same satis- factory condition as in previous years. Our work is growing and we be- lieve that our children are being better equipped for life than ever before. One of the most encouraging features of the work has been the markedly increased interest shown in the home by the members of our fraternity. At the last meeting of the grand lodge, an appropriation of one hundred thirty-five thousand dollars, ($135,000.00) was granted for the purpose of erecting two dormitories and a power plant and laundry building which should also contain space for instruction in manual training and domestic science. At a meeting of the board at Sullivan on November 8th, a building committee consisting of four members of the board were appointed. This committee selected K. G. Schniid & Co., as architects. Drawings and speci- fications were prepared for the complete work as originally contemplated. When the contractor's bids were received, it was found that increased building costs would not permit the construction of all the buildings within the appropriation. The lowest bids for the three buildings aggregated approximately two hundred fifty thousand dollars, ($250,000.00), including the architect's fees. After consultation with the grand master, it was decided to proceed at once with the power house and manual training building including the heating plant. Contracts were accordingly awarded amounting to eighty- 1920] , Grand Lodge of Illinois 89 one thousand four hundred eighty-eight dollars ($81,488.00) to which must be added architect's fees. As the pressing question of dormitory and hospital facilities had not been provided for in this decision, the question was again taken up with the grand master who authorized the placing of contracts for the south dormitory and hospital building with the understanding that the total appropriation should not be exceeded by an amount in excess of twenty thousand dollars, ($20,000.00). Contracts were then placed for this addi- tional work in the amount of ninety-two thousand two hundred forty-two dollars and fifty cents, ($92,242.50) not including architect's fees. Brother John Millen of St. John's Lodge No. 13 of Dayton, Ohio, who died June 4, 1920, provided a bequest which enabled us by a specific pro- vision to use this bequest for our hospital and thus keep within the in- structions of the grand master. Brother Millen was a resident of Chicago for many years and was a frequent visitor at our hom.e. His benefaction will prove a blessing to the home for all time. At this time construction is proceeding rapidly and is about 50% completed. For some years we have felt the great need of additional ground for the use of the home. The need of this land was brought to the knowledge of the Board of Directors of Oriental Consistory, who very generously appropriated the sum of sixteen thousand dollars, ($16,000.00), with which was purchased the entire block of land south of the home and a piece of land east of the home, both pieces aggregating approximately nine acres. This munificent gift is deeply appreciated. At the last meeting of the grand lodge, an appropriation was made of thirty-seven thousand dollars, ($37,000.00), for maintenance. The com- mittee is pleased to report that notwithstanding the extraordinary cost of everything that goes towards the maintenance of the institution, it has by close economy and careful buying kept within the limits of the appro- priation and that there is an unexpended balance of two hundred five dol- lars and sixty-five cents, ($205.65), which has been turned back to the grand lodge. For the coming year 1920-21, your board requests the following ap- propriations for the La Grange Home : For maintenance $46,000.00 For refrigerating plant 2,500.00 For new water softening plant 5,500.00 For repairs, minor alterations and additional equipment 2,500.00 Laundry equipment 3,450.00 This work for the children of our fraternity is most inspiring and enlists the deepest interest of your board. In this connection the follow- ing words of David Starr Jordan, President of Leland Stanford University 90 Proceedings of tJie [October 13, are most applicable. He says, ' ' If ever you wish to go in for philanthropy, if ever you -nish to be of any use in the world, do something for the little children, if ever you yearn to be truly wise, study children. We can dress the sore, bandage the wound, imprison the criminal, heal the sick and bury the dead, but there is always a chance to save the child. If the great army of the philanthropists ever exterminates sin and pestilence ever works out the race's salvation, it will be because a little child has led them." Sullivan Home and Hospital Perhaps at no period in its history have the general conditions of the Masonic Home at Sullivan been more satisfactory than at the present time. The year just closed has been an extremely busy one and a review of the past twelve months shows a marked improvement along all lines. Many necessary repairs and betterments were forced to wait because of the high cost of labor and materials. However, it was deemed abso- lutely imperative to provide a refrigerating plant for the hospital to prop- erly care for perishable foods, and a duplicate engine for the power plant to guard against the possibility of being left without light and power as the old engine was in bad condition from its long service. The refrigerat- ing plant cost $3,452.03 and the new engine $1,000.00; both of these amounts were paid from the maintenance fund. Garage Until the present year the motor vehicles belonging to the home have been housed in various places which added to the fire risks of the home. This condition came to the notice of Grand Eoyal Arch Chapter which in 1919 generously gave the home $1,.500.00 with which to build a garage which is now completed and meets a long felt need. Discipline There is no doubt that it is a difficult matter to manage old people of different degrees of health and temperament. In a few cases it has been found impossible and the executive committee in charge has been compelled to request the removal of some persons from the home. We consider this an opportune time to call the attention of masters and secre- taries of the constituent lodges to the fact that when signing the appli- cation for admission to the home, an applicant agrees to abide by the rules of the institution and becomes subject to removal from the home for any violation of these rules. Entertainment One of the serious problems that confronts your committee is that of entertainment for members and employees. When it is considered that the home is located more than two miles from town, with no transportation except that provided by the occasional use of a Ford bus, it is only natural 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 91 that at times restlessness appears in both the members and the help living at the home. Such entertainment as has been had has been provided by money donations from many lodges, chapters, and commanderies and has added very materially to the enjoyment of those at the home. The Fourth of July celebration was delightful. We have promises for the future from entertainers and are looking forward to pleasant occasions during the coming year. The Farm While the net results in dollars and cents from the operation of the farm have been only fairly satisfactory, yet the physical condition of the property has never been better than at the present time. While it may seem to many, that the farm should be a source of considerable revenue, yet it is not so because an institutional farm cannot be operated as re- muneratively as one privately owned. An idea exists among many of the fraternity that the entire farm is fertile and should make a good profit for the benefit of the institution. True, the farm does contain 464 acres, 20 acres of which are immediate home grounds. However, there are but 149 acres of good farming land and 40 acres of good timber land. The remainder is poor to very poor land including the east 200 acres which is used for grazing and for which we pay $800.00 a year during the life of the donor. Nevertheless, the farm is a necessary adjunct to the home and should be continued so long as we maintain the home in its present location, as we must have fresh milk, butter, meats and vegetables, which in our judg- ment, it would be impossible to purchase satisfactorily in that locality. EEPAres AND Improvements We feel that the time has arrived when many repairs and improve- ments must be made. The following ones should in our judgment be taken care of at once. The plumbing in the original building is worn out and is unsanitary and unsightly. From motives of economy of fuel 2,200 feet of steam pip- ing should be covered. For the same reason, the windows and doors of the original building should be weather-stripped. For adequate fire pro- tection a fire pump should be installed. The greater part of the mattresses in the original building are worn out and new ones must be purchased. Much of the furniture in the hospital and the main building needs renew- ing. The linoleum on the runways and floors of the hospital is worn out. The interiors of the hospital and the original building need painting and the plastering repaired. The windows of the sun parlors in the hospital are so high that those sitting in wheeled chairs cannot see outdoors. These windows should be lowered. The steam boilers have insufficient draft which together with the necessary crowding in severe weather causes a large waste 92 Proceedings of tlie [October 13, of fuel. The Board of Managers after thorough investigation and from information secured from competent men are of the opinion that the only remedy which promises permanent success will be the raising of the chimney an additional 40 feet. EoAD Fund. There remains in the hands of the treasurer of the board a balance of $1250.25, of a special road fund for repairs and maintenance of the road- way 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. Appropriations The grand lodge appropriated $70,000.00 for general maintenance of the home for the year 1919-20. Early in the year it became apparent that it was not possible to conduct the affairs of the home and make necessary repairs with the amount appropriated. The attention of the grand master was called to this condition. After consultation with the Finance Com- mittee of the Grand Lodge an amount of $20,000.00 was provided for the emergency. Of this amount $9,613.78 has been returned to the grand lodge. For the coming j'ear 1920-21 your board recommends the appropria- tion of $75,000.00 for maintenance. We further recommend the appro- priation for the following purposes of the several amounts enumerated : For new plumbing in original building $7,500.00 For covering steam pipes 2,000.00 For weatherstripping in original building 500.00 For fire pump 1,000.00 For mattresses in original building 1,500.00 For furnishings in hospital and administration building 2,700.00 For painting interiors of hospital and administration building... 1,500.00 For changing windows in hospital sun parlors 1,000.00 For addition to power house chimney 4,000.00 For purchase and installation of moving picture machine 1,000.00 Total $22,700.00 All of which is fraternally submitted.

Eef erring to that portion of the Grand Master's address pertaining to the national defense fund, now amounting to $57,172.47, your committee recommend that this entire sum, together with any additional sum, or sums that may be received from time to time belonging to this fund, be trans- ferred to the charity fund for the purpose of being used for additional construction and maintenance of the home at LaGrange. Also referring to the grand master's request that a substantial subscription be made by this grand lodge to the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Associa- tion, your committee are in accord with the grand master in this matter and are pleased to recommend that a sum of $5,000.00 be appropriated from the general fund for this worthy purpose. Your committee further recommend that the members of the several committees and the past grand masters not otherwise provided for, in at- tendance upon this annual meeting, be allowed and paid the sum of $3.00 per day for each day's service rendered, in addition to the compensation provided in the by-laws, and that your committee be authorized to preserve the paid vouchers upon the grand treasurer for the past year until the next meeting of this grand lodge, for reference, should occasion require.

Bro. Henry T. Burnap made the following report for the Committee on Legislation. Chicago, October 13, 1920. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: At the last annual meeting of the Grand Lodge only one proposition to amend the By-laws was referred to this committee, that to be found on page 142, Proceedings of 1919, and is as follows: Amend Code 451, by-laws relating to lodges, by striking out the words "either initiation" in the first line, the word "or" in the second line and by adding the sentence "no alien can petition a Masonic lodge for initiation. ' ' Your committee is of the opinion that no man who subscribes to the approved form of petition and secures the necessary recommendations should be denied the privilege of having it presented to the lodge to which it is addressed. Its acceptance by the lodge and the investigation of the peti- tioner's qualifications are matters to be determined after, not before, the presentation of the petition. The adoption of this amendment would require a change in the form of petition. Again, this proposed amendment seems to be inconsistent with one of the ' ' Tenets of a Mason 's profession ' ' which declares that one of the ends sought by the fraternity is to "unite men of every country, sect and opinion. ' ' We recommend that the amendment be not adopted. H. T. Burnap, William Wilhartz, Joseph J. Shaw, Comndttee. The report of the committee was adopted. Report — ^Committee on Legislation. Bro. Henry T. Burnap made the following report for the Committee on Legislation. Tlie proposed amendments to Codes numbered 252, 253, 254, 255 and 256, introduced by Bro. Eobt. J. Daly seem to require no extended explan- ation. Briefly, if adopted, the management of the Masonic Home at Sullivan and the Orphan 's Home at La Grange will be placed in the hands of sep- 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 101 arate boards in place of both being managed by the same board as at present. Your committee recommend the adoption of these amendments. H. T, BURNAP, Joseph J. Shaw, William Wilhartz, Comrmitee. The proposed amendments, submitted in writing, was sec- onded by more than twenty representatives and referred to the Committee on Legislation. The report of the Committee on Legislation recommended its adoption and by unanimous vote the amendment was adopted. Report — ^Committee on Legislation. Bro. Henry T. Burnap made the following report for the Committee on Legislation. Your committee on Legislation to whom was referred that part of the Grand Master's report in which he recommends the striking out of Section K, Code 146, by-laws, have carefully considered the same and recommend that the Grand Master's suggestion be approved. H. T. Burnap, William Wilhartz, Joseph J. Shaw, Committee. The proposed amendment, submitted in writing, was sec- onded by more than twenty representatives and referred to the Committee on Legislation. The report of the Committee on Legislation recommended its adoption and by unanimous vote the amendment was adopted. Report — ^Committee on Legislation. Bro. Henry T. Burnap made the following report for the Committee on Legislation. One of the duties of the Committee on Legislation, as set forth in Code No. 185, Paragraph B, is " to put all decisions by the Grand Master into the form of law and report the same to the Grand Lodge." Two such decisions were reported by Grand Master Wheeler at the annual meeting in 1916 and appear on page 155 of the Blue Book. 102 Proceedings of the [October 13, These were referred to the Committee on Jurisprudence which reported favorably on both (see page 63, Proceedings 1916) and this report was adopted by the Grand Lodge. The first relates to the manner in which a brother shall proceed who desires to have his name changed on the records of his lodge: The second applies to life members not heard from for seven years. Your Committee is embarrassed by its inability to determine what, if any, recommendation should be made, and for the following reasons : At the annual meeting in 1912, Brother Edward Cook proposed a new section to Part One of the By-laws by which a new Committee was created under the name of the "Committee on New Legislation." (See page 151, Proceedings, 1912.) This laid over until the meeting in 1913 when it was formally adopted by the Grand Lodge. The concluding sentence of this section was as follows; "All decisions of the Grand Master shall have the force of law until the next meeting of the Grand Lodge, but no longer unless reported upon by the committee and adopted by a two-thirds vote of the Grand Lodge. ' ' In the revision of the By-laws, adopted at the same meeting, this sec- tion appears as Code No. 185 and in an entirely different form. TTiat part of this Code corresponding to the sentence quoted above is as follows : ' ' To put all decisions of the Grand Master into the form of law and report the same to the Grand Lodge." It will be noticed that nothing is here said as to the status of decisions of the Grand Master nor is there any jirovision for any further action than that requiring the Committee to put them in the ' ' form of law. ' ' Code No. 82, Constitution, clearly states the manner in which the By- laws may be amended and it is the opinion of your Committee that a favorable report on a decision of the Grand Master by the Committee on Jurisprudence and its adoption by the Grand Lodge and its formulation by the Committee on Legislation does not make it a law. With reference to the first decision, your Committee is further em- barrassed by the language of the report of the Committee on Jurisprudnce which is as follows: "4. "We think the action of the Most Worshipful Grand Master and his decision as to procedure, in case of a change of name by a brother, is correct and proper, and a sufiicient precedent to cover such cases in the future without any addition to the Code on the subject." In other words, the Committee on Jurisprudence, in its report, has as- sumed that the Committee on Legislation has absolutely nothing to do with 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 103 the matter, notwithstanding the mandatory provision of Code 82 of the Constitution, which provides among other things as follows: "If seconded by twenty representatives it shall be referred to the Committee on Legislation, who shall consider and report thereon at the same or next meeting of the Grand Lodge." Your Committee is clearly of the opinion that this decision of the Grand Master cannot become a part of the law until it has been referred to the Committee on Legislation, as provided in the excerpt just quoted. Independently of this, however, your Committee, after having given the most careful consideration to the subject, are of the unanimous opinion that it is wholly beyond the province and jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge to enact any law whatsoever on this subject matter. The civil laws of the State of Illinois point out the method and manner in which a citizen of the State may have his name changed, and if as a result of such procedure the court enters a decree permitting him to change his name, your Com- mitte fails to see by what right the Grand Lodge should deny his application to have his name changed on the records of the Lodge. Indeed, under cer- tain circumstances, which need not be considered here, a citizen of Illinois may change his name even without a court order. An anomalous situation would certainly be created if the lodge should deny an application which the State authorities had previously granted to a person. Your Committee, however, considers it its duty to submit forms of law upon matters submitted to it, irrespective of the views entertained by the members of the Committee on the wisdom or legality of such laws, hence your Committee submits two forms on the matters submitted to it, without recommendation and for such action as the Grand Lodge may determine. Covering the first decision, your Committee submits the following Code: "419. When a brother desires to change his name he shall make a formal application in writing to his lodge. The application shall then be submitted to the Grand Lodge for permission to change. The same shall then be referred to the Committee on Petitions. On report of the Committee the Grand Lodge may grant or refuse such permission. The Grand Secretary shall certify the action to the lodge. If permission be granted the secretary of the lodge shall enter the name, as changed, on its records. ' ' On the second decision, which applies to life members not heard from for seven years, the following form is submitted: "425. Where life members have not been heard from for more than seven years, the Worshipful Master shall direct the secretary to report the 104 Proceedings of tJie [October 13, names of such missing brethren in the Grand Lodge returns as being ' legally dead. ' Their names shall then be dropped from the rolls of active membership. ' ' H. T. BUKNAP, Joseph J. Shaw, William Wilhartz, Committee. This report was referred back to the committee with in- structions to submit recommendations. Oration. Bro. William H. Beckman delivered the annual oration. A rising vote of thanks was given the grand orator, and it was ordered printed in the proceedings. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: We have met in annual convention, to account for our stewardship, to record the progress, and to consider the problems of ancient craft Masonry in Illinois. The guiding responsibility of the craft was readily assumed, and the reports of the various committees express the development of the principles of our institution. It has been a short year. It has witnessed a full measure of activity. Its numerical growth has surpassed any former annual in- crease in this jurisdiction. In fact, carping critics have insisted that the growth in numbers is altogether too rapid. Here lies the error. Masonry is not an aggregation of men. Men do not own, nor have they the possession or custody of Masonry; but lying deep in their hearts, and reaching back to a time when civilization was in its earliest dawn. Masonry lodged its tiny roots, and has grown in the majestic sweep of its own mental and spiritual jiower. Masonry is an institution. The ritual is but audible evidence of the body, which shelters its spirit. It is of the God of Isaac and of the God of Jacob. It redresses wrong, repels invasion, defends the violation of treaties, even though the whole world is plunged into war, and becomes the cornerstone of government where justice, equity and freedom prevail. Masonry is a democracy wherein little men conceal themselves in con- tentment, big men carry its burdens and aid its progress. It is tolerant to all men and all conditions. It unites the high and the low, the rich and the poor, and points the way of protection to the widow and the orphan. 1920] Grmid Lodge of Illinois 105 It envelopes mankiud. Its bond is singular. The rights of all are the rights of each. The development of the world centers about the progi-essiv© development of Masonic principles. Therefore, the leaders of Masonic thought are the teachers of the world, by precept and example. Is the influence of the church on the decline? Does the church of to- day realize and grasp the social and moral problems of a rapidly expanding people? If not, the causes lie within itself. Social, moral and religious movements require highly organized and competent leadership. Jesus Christ founded a new democracy based upon individual respon- sibility and brought to a troubled world an enduring principle of religious precept. Savonarola lighted a submerged following to the heights of the plane of moral sympathy. Luther struck a blow at besotted priestcraft. Wesley organized men into a movement of religious aggression. Emerson contributed fundamental moral philosophy. Herbert Spencer gave to the world distinct leadership in higher ethics. Each of these movements had its origin, its development, and its in- fluence, and made its contribution to the common cause of mankind. None of these is sufficient unto itself. All of these combined do not arouse men from their lethargy of benumbed consciousness. Spiritual attainment has not flowered — it has been arrested in the bloom. Where have we a Socrates sentenced to a cup of hemlock, with com- plete conviction of spiritual continuity? We look in vain for another Hale, with only one life to give. Here are specific instances of spiritual integrity taken at random from the page of the past. Sir Arthur Geddes, eminent British philosopher, states, as his conclu- sion, that we of today live aimlessly, live meaninglessly, live without goal or spiritual animation. Merely to live and to die are animal functions be- low the grade of Masonic instruction; but to live for achievement, and to die for a cause is a worthy ambition for the best of Masons. Conditions are disturbed by the process of evolution. Men are rest- less. Jazz and tango, movies and automobiles, satisfy the common lot. Soberness is wanting. Leadership is required. The opportunity is ours. Shall the Masons of Illinois rise to the occasion, supply the leadership, point the way to a better understanding of the destiny of man? Truly, the occasion is within our grasp. We are derelict to our duty. It is not enough to raise a candidate to the Sublime Degree, take his money, invest it, and watch it grow at compound interest. 106 Proceedings of the [October 13, Eccently, in a Masonic body, I heard read a report for a fiscal year. It showed a large numerical increase. It recited expenditures for food and cigars and charity, and with slow and solemn emphasis, showed the net worth per member to be $76.00. Can Masonry express its benefits in the terms of Wall Street? Should Masonic bodies be imitation trust companies? Here the lessons of Masonry are lost. Contrast this with another body whose charity list was its largest ex- penditure — where they sent a nurse to the home of the sick, where they paid rent, where they bought coal, where they found employment, where they sent a widow 's son to college. On the one hand is a body with selfish vision and decadent powers, with large self-aggrandizement of its management. Here is proprietorship of Masonry. Here is failure. On the other hand, the spirit of the Saviour shines in resplendent effulgence as a beacon along the way. Masonry looms large as a progressive social movement that challenges the admiration of the world and attracts the best men of the community to its membership. If it fails, it will fail for reasons within, not without. If it fails, it will be because we, its leaders in Illinois, do not direct the sober thought of its membership to the common needs of men. Masonry by nature is positive, not negative. It requires aflEirmative action. We must build. We much teach. We must lead. Let us build hospitals and homes. Let us care more for the aged and infirm. Let us draw men from ignorance and vice. Let us, as Masons of Illinois, stand together as a man for a common economic cause and lead the whole people of the State to a better understanding of their duty to each other, to the government, to the destiny that awaits us all. A study of the Constitution of Illinois brought to our attention a pro- vision in substance that neither the state nor any political subdivision thereof, should pay any money in aid of any church or of any church or- ganization. The growth of the city of Chicago, almost unparalleled in its progress and its power, developed a condition of sociology where the de- pendent, delinquent, and defective child became a most serious and press- ing problem. There was no home for this child, no place whereon to lay its head. A few highminded and philanthropic men and wolnen toiled assiduously with this problem. They sought charity. They raised benefits. They built homes. They toiled tirelessly. But the forward march of the city left ruthlessly in its wake an increasing train of these children. Tardy legislatures gave grudgingly of funds. These splendid men and women, un- able to meet the increasing problem, paused bewildered in their undertaking. At this point, the church stepped to the front, increased the dimen- sions and the number of the schools, received these children, and carried on the beneficent work. It accepted pay, — on account, not in full, — for the care of each child. A taxpayer, seeing the slow but certain encroachment 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 107 of the church upon the state, and remembering the violence of wars grow- ing out of the confusing admixtures of these institutions, exhibited his bill to the Supreme Court, praying a restraining order against paying public funds in aid of the church. The court held that inasmuch as the municipality was not paying the full cost of maintenance of the child to the church, that the payments made on account of maintenance were not in violation of the constitution, and that these payments were not in aid of the church. Thus the problem grew for over thirty years, until today, the church organizations have invested millions in equipment and homes for the de- pendent, delinquent and defective children of Illinois. In the Constitutional Convention of 1920, we have enacted a provision which explicitly prohibits the state, or any political subdivision thereof, from paying out any public funds of any amount whatsoever, to any church or to any church organization. We propose that the state shall remain free from the insidious encroachments of the church; that the church shall perform the function of the church, and that the state shall perform the functions of the state. It is the duty of the state to provide for the de- pendents, delinquents and defectives. It will take ten years of time and twenty millions of dollars to accomplish this order, but whatever the effort and cost, church and state must remain forever separate and distinct in their functions. But, in the meantime, what of the child? Will the state take hold of this problem, — and it is your problem and mine, — with the sympathy, the understanding, and the tact that such a cause deserves? Complacent Ma- sonry will sit idly by or feebly applaud the solution of this problem; but complacent Masonry is a spurious graft on the ancient stock, which de- mands an intelligent consideration of the subject matter. An accumulated surplus thus invested would render happier possibilities to humanity than a like investment in Havana cigars. You may have a free choice. Guard well the portals of state, and development of our youth. We have another problem of fundamental importance. In Illinois, our common school system is erected and developed as a local municipal ques- tion. Under the present plan of operation, each school district, each vil- lage, town and city directs its educational affairs in accordance with the local pride or prejudice of the community. There is no standardization throughout the state. Different text books are used in different schools. Divers methods of teaching, lack of uniformity, underpaid teachers, all tend to the patchwork and confusion now existing in that department. Education of our youth, from the very nature of the case, is a state, and not a local, question. The system of taxation for educational purposes should be spread and collected by the state and not by local authorities. Standardization of text books of teaching in the elementary grades, in the high schools leading into the University, so that the boy living in the south 108 Proceedings of tlie [October 13, end of the state, and the boy living in the northern part of the state, shall have the same exact opportunity, is a goal much to be desired. Teaching must be made a profession and paid as such, so that more and better men and women will be attracted to its ranks. School teaching today is merely a stepping stone to some other avocation. The little red school house is the bulwark and hope of the future. It stands as the symbol of progress of a people. Truly, every family, and every boy and girl has a deep and growing interest in this subject. Only four percent of the teachers of Illinois have remained in the profession for a period of twenty years. They need en- couragement and assistance. Is there any question of more fundamental importance today in Illinois that two hundred thousand earnest, sober- minded Masons could take up for consideration and adjustment? How simple it would be, with our membership located in every city, town and school district of the state, definitely, slowly and gradually to work out this fundamental economic problem. This is not a political problem. It is a vital and economic problem. Gentlemen, Bolshevism and the red flag is a wave, already engulfing Europe and finding in America many fertile spots. Here in Illinois, here in Chicago, I fear its roots are more firmly planted than most of us are willing to admit. Encouragement and baneful leadership have given it an advanced standing. It croj^s up in socialism and socialistic utterance. It strikes at the very foundations of our government. Shall we permit our homes and our government to be thus imperiled? Here lies the sworn duty of the Mason — to combat this terror from the beginning, and see that its hissing head is crushed into the ground. Men of Illinois, take a pace forAvard, and with head erect, look our destiny squarely in the face. You masters and wardens are leaders of your lodges, leaders in your communities. Your neighbors respect and admire you and will follow your leadership for law and order. Your responsibility can be neither avoided nor denied. It is the hand of God! Report — George Washington Memorial. Bro. Owen Scott presented the following report. It was adopted. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: As Chairman of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association, I submit a partial report. The Grand Treasurer will report the amounts contributed by the various districts of the state. All moneys have been paid directly into the treasury of the Grand Lodge. 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 109 During the year the movement has gone steadily forward. Allow me to express my appreciation for the good work of most of the District Deputy Grand Masters. Only by their efficiency and activity could the results reported have been possible. Some lodges have responded with the full quota of $1.00 per member, but many have not. It has been only necessary to get the real significance of the Memorial movement understood by the brethren to receive a hearty response. The great desire of the Grand Master, throughout the year, has been that Illinois should lead in this great enterprise. At all times he has urged activity of Deputies and Lodges toward this goal. It has been decided that the entire work for the Washington Memorial be closed January 1, 1921. There will, therefore, be less than three months in which to reach the full measure of our opportunity. In each case where a Lodge, or its members, has contributed $100.00 or more, a certificate of Life Membership has been issued by the Memorial Association. A great many lodges are now members and will be entitled to a voice in the future control and management of the Memorial Temple. It is not possible at this time to give the amounts contributed by the several Lodges or by in- dividuals. Allow me to urge all Masters and Wardens to put new life and energy into this movement on return to your Lodges. This great Temple to be erected within view of the Nation's Capital will constitute a Masonic Mecca for Masons of the world. Being located on the way to Mt. Vernon, it will be an additional Shrine toward which all will turn their steps while at the heart of our great country. The enemies of Masonry are denying that Washingion was a Mason. This Temple, housing the sacred relics now held by the Lodge of which he was the first Worshipful Master, will furnish indubitable proof of the falsity of this preposterous claim. I wish to thank the District Deputies and all others who have done so much to aid in this work. Report — Special Committee. The special committee to which was referred the Illinois Masonic Hospital matter made the following report. It was adopted. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: The following resolution has been referred to this committee for con- sideration and recommendation: 110 Proceedings of tlie [October 13, Besolved: That this most Worshipful Grand Lodge, extend to the Illi- nois Masonic Hospital Association our approval and commendation of the splendid work they are doing and our hearty approval of their plan to erect a hospital. Your committee begs to report that it has given the representatives of the Illinois Masonic Hospital Association a hearing on this resolution and recommend its adoption, on the assurance that all that is desired is a com- mendatory expression of this grand lodge regarding the work of the asso- ciation, and with the distinct understanding that no financial obligation is incurred either by the grand lodge or any of its constituent lodges, and the adoption of the resolution shall in no wise be considered as an invita- tion by or as authority from this grand lodge to call upon it, or any of its constituent lodges, for financial assistance in the prosecution of its work or in the erection and maintenance of its proposed hospital. Owen Scott, Wm. B. Wright, A. H. Bell, Committee. Report — Committee on Appeals and Grievances. The Committee on Appeals and Grievances reported. The report was adopted. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: The undersigned as your Committee on Appeals and Grievances re- spectfully reports in detail severally on the cases submitted to us on appeal to this Grand Lodge as follows: Covenant Lodge No. 526 vs. Your committee is unanimously clearly of the opinion that a wrong has been done this accused brother and we recommend therefore, that the ad- judication of the trial commission be set aside and that this accused brother be reinstated to all the rights and privileges of Masonry and to membership in Covenant Lodge No. 526. Waubansia Lodge No. 160 vs. Your committee therefore recommends that the action of the trial com- mission in finding this accused brother guilty be sustained; that their 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 111 action in expelling him from all the rights and privileges of Masonry be set aside and that instead of the punishment so fixed this accused brother be suspended from all the rights and privileges of Masonry for a term of one year from this date. Caledonia Lodge No. 47 vs. We recommend that the adjudication of Caledonia Lodge finding this accused brother not guilty be set aside and that he be found guilty and we recommend that he be suspended from the rights and privileges of Masonry for a period of one year from this date. Homer Lodge No. 199 vs. We recommend that the action of the commission in finding this ac- cused brother guilty and in fixing his punishment at reprimand be sustained. Wrights Grove No. 779 vs. We recommend therefore that the verdict of guilty be set aside and that the brother be reinstated to all the rights and privileges of Masonry and to membership in Wrights Grove Lodge No. 779. Rantoul Lodge No. 470 and Eantoul Lodge No. 470 vs. vs. Your committee therefore recommends that the action of Eantoul Lodge No. 470 in finding Bro. C guilty of contempt and in indefinitely suspending him from all the rights and privileges of Masonry be set aside; and we recommend that Eantoul Lodge No. 470 proceed anew by giving new notices to the accused brother of the time to be fixed for trial by the Master of that lodge, and upon due notice Eantoul Lodge proceed to try him upon the charge and specifications filed against him. We further recommend that the action of Eantoul Lodge No. 470 in finding Brother T guilty of contempt and in expelling him from all the rights and privileges of Masonry be set aside; and we recommend that Eantoul Lodge be directed to give new notices to this accused brother of the time to be fixed for trial by the Master of the lodge and that the lodge proceed to try the accused brother upon the charges and specifications filed against him. 112 Proceedings of tlie [October 13, We recommend that botli of these brethren be reinstated to all the rights and privileges of Masonry and to membership in Eantoul Lodge No. 470. Kespectfully submitted, Alexander H. Bell, Chas. H. Martin, Elmer D. Brothers, W. E. Hadley, Egbert N. Holt, Committee. Report — Committee on Obituaries Bro. Jas. K. Lambert presented the report of the Commit- tee 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 : "Again the silent •wheels of time Their annual round have driven. ' ' Another year with its sunshine and its shadows, its laughter and its tears, its cradle songs and its funeral hjonns has gone, bearing in its em- brace many tender memories. And again in the midst of the proceedings of this Grand Lodge, we pause in memory of our dead, to pay our tribute of honor, of respect, of affection to their worth as men and masons; and to give an expression of our sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends. It is fitting that we should thus honor them, and thereby inspire the living to nobler deeds and better lives. No honors that we may render, no eulogies that we may utter can reach into that realm to which the spirit of our dead has gone, but the brethren living may be taught by example and ambition may be stirred in those who are to follow by a study of their lives and characters. - Death is cruel at all times. Separation never comes without a pang. Young men, rich in all manly graces, with plans for long and useful lives find it difiicult to say "Thy will be done." Even those whose circle of life is nearly complete and only waiting for the final summons, even these yield up reluctantly. But the portal we call death is sooner or later opened for us all. Well does that man live who is ready to enter therein when it opens for him, and render an account of his stewardship to his Maker. And in the world beyond, may there be witnessed the rounding out of 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 113 lives, brief and incomplete, and may there also be realized pure and lofty- ideals unattained on earth. "A solemn murmur in the soul tells of a world to be, As travelers hear the billows roll before they reach the sea." Anthony Doherty This Grand Lodge meets under the immediate shadow of a great loss in the death of its Junior Grand Warden, brother Anthony Doherty, who passed away September 8th, 1920. This good brother was raised to the sublime degree of Masonry in Clay City Lodge No. 488 in 1881, and has ever since given generously of his time and talents to Masonry. He was elected Junior Grand Warden in October, 1919, and died while in office. As Master of his lodge, as Grand Lecturer, as District Deputy Grand Master of his district, as Chairman of the Board of Grand Examiners, and as Junior Grand Warden, brother Doherty has so impressed his upright and kindly personality upon the Craft that his memory will long endure. CharliES F. Tenney This Grand Lodge mourns the loss of another member of its official family, Charles F. Tenney, Grand Steward. He was a member of Bement Lodge No. 365 and, over a long period of time, served the Craft in various capacities — as Grand Lecturer, as member of the Board of Grand Exam- iners, as District Deputy Grand Master, and as Grand Steward for eleven consecutive terms. Throughout his long masonic career Brother Tenney was an ardent advocate of the Standard Work. More than forty years ago when there was organized opposition to the Standard Work and no schools of instruc- tion being held, he remained true to that system of instruction and awaited a favorable time for it to be resumed. In 1880 at Brother Tenney 's in- stance and request and upon his paying the entire expense, a school of instruction was held by the Grand Examiners and the Standard Work re- sumed. Since that time schools have been held each year and the result has been a continual improvement, culminating in their present high state of efficiency. Bro. Tenney 's interest in the work never waned. He was faithful to the end. Joseph E. Dyas Brother Joseph Edward Dyas, one of the most useful Masons of Illinois, beloved for the graces and virtues of his personal character, and revered for his long services to this Grand Lodge and to the Craft in gen- eral, has gone to the undiscovered country. Brother Dyas was born near Dublin, Ireland, September 23, 1844. While but a child his parents moved to Ontario and later to Chicago. In 1865 114 Proceedings of tJie [October 13, he graduated from the law department of the University of Chicago, and in 1866 located in Paris, Illinois, where he has since resided and practiced his profession. He was made a Master Mason in Paris Lodge No. 268, November 18, 1867. He served as Worshipful Master of his lodge for several terms and was for many years Chairman of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances of this Grand Lodge. He died suddenly September 2, 1920, at Eock Island, while attending the Annual Conclave of the Grand Commandery Knights Templar. By the death of Brother Dyas this state loses a valuable citizen, and masonry a helpful craftsman. The end of a life so rounded in faithful service in important capacities, in energy of public spirit, in devoted pa- triotism and worthy social fellowship, removes a landmark that will long be missed and lamented. The fraternal chain of the District Deputies has been broken, and death has taken one of its shining links in the person of that genial, com- panionable Mason, Benjamin I. Pumpelly, District Deputy Grand Master of the 63rd District, and a member of Atlanta Lodge No. 165. During the past year one hundred and seventy-five Masters and Past Masters of Illinois, and twenty-six Past Grand Officers of other grand juris- dictions have laid down the burdens of life and passed into the radiance of the everlasting. Their names appear on the memorial pages in the ap- pendix. And in expressing our sorrow in their demise we can only convey to their loved ones our assurance of sincere and profound sympathy in the great sorrow which overshadows their hearts and lives. The walks of life will know these brethren no more forever. For them the Acacia blooms no more. The Broken Column mourns the dead. Yet they were linked to us by similar tastes and desires, by the same hopes and ambitions, yes, even by the same defeats and failures, all binding them to us by ties which still endure, and which shall last through time and eternity. Sharing with them the Mason's faith that man is born for a higher destiny than that of earth, we say to these fraternal dead: ' ' Farewell — To-day ; Tomorrow — Hail ! ' ' Fraternally submitted, James K. Lambert, J. F. Stricklek, Hez G. Henry, Committee.

Turner Lodge No. 409 petitions for the restoration of Julius Limbach, an Entered Apprentice Mason, who was expelled from that lodge on June 21, 1900. The charges preferred against Julius Lim- bach were that subsequent to receiving the Entered Apprentice degree in 1894, he was convicted by a jury in a United States Court of robbing a post office, for which offense he served a term in the penitentiary at Waupon, Wisconsin, under the assumed name of John Hoy, and that he had acknowledged these facts in letters written to a member of Thos. J. Turner Lodge. Also, that under the assumed name of William Davis, he was convicted of assault with intent to kill, in the county of Eock Island for which offense he paid a fine and served a jail sentence and that he acknowledged these facts in a letter written to a member of Thos. J. Turner Lodge. On the above charges Julius Limbach was declared guilty and expelled from all the rights and privileges of Masonry. Your com- mittee cannot bring itself to believe that the above charges, on which this party was tried, found guilty, and expelled, were made known to the brethren of Thomas J. Turner Lodge at its meeting of April 6, 1920, when they voted to request this Grand Lodge to restore this man to good standing as an Entered Apprentice Mason. We recommend that this petition be not granted. No. 41. Auburn Park Lodge No. 789 petitions for the restoration of Artillus V. Bartholomew, a Master Mason, who was expelled from that lodge on or about July 5, 1917. This case is before this Grand Body for the fourth consecutive year. In 1917 Artillus V. Bartholomew was expelled from all the rights and privileges of Masonry, in accordance with a verdict of a trial commission appointed by the Grand Master, and upon appeal to the Grand Lodge in October of that year the case was reviewed by the committee on Appeals and Grievances, which committee approved the ver- dict of the trial commission. By petition of a number of brethren of Auburn Park Lodge this case was again brought before this Grand Lodge at its annual meeting in 1918, again reviewed by the committee on Appeals and Grievances, and again all former action in connection with this case was approved. At the annual meeting in October, 1919, this case was brought before this committee on petition of the lodge for restoration from the sentence of expulsion as imposed by the trial commission. This com- mittee was convinced one year ago, as it is today, that this case has been thoroughly investigated and impartially reviewed. We cannot believe that every one officially connected with this case could have been mistaken. We recommend that this petition be not granted. J. E. Jeffers, J. H. Mitchell, C. O.

Sharp, Commander in Chief of Oriental Consistory, was introckiced by the Grand Master, and spoke as follows : After the donation of the money left in the War Belief Fund was made by the grand lodge to the Illinois Orphans' Home at LaGrange, the matter of lack of ground was brought to our attention by Bros. Robert J. Daly and Eobert C. Fletcher. The four heads of the coordinate bodies went to LaGrange, went over the situation and recommended a donation to the board of directors of the Consistory; they unanimously voted they would be very glad to donate the amount of $16,000. As Commander in Chief, when I made the report showing our revenues had exceeded our expenditures last year by $135,000, the item of $16,000 to the Orphans' Home drew the most applause of any feature. I want to say to you it is a pleasure to Oriental Consistory to spend a little of its money on such things as are for the good of the order and for the home of those who are dependent upon the order, and to none of them should we give more than to the orphans. I want to say that Oriental Consistory has done a great deal of work in the last two years and our revenues have exceeded our expenditures by a considerable sum. We expend quite a little money on entertainments, and on dinners, etc., but there are a great many members who don't at- tend and, of course, they are paying for the entertainment with those who do, but I am very sure that both those who have partaken in the social features of Oriental Consistory and those unable to attend in the past year have given their approval heartily for the donation to the grand lodge for the Orjihans Home at LaGrange. Report — Committee on National Defense. The Committee on National Defense presented their re- port. The report was adopted. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: Interest in the work of the National Defense Committee, which naturally commenced to wane on the signing of the armistice in 1918, has become less and less, imtil a few months ago your committee decided to discontinue the work. Your committee, however, deems it proper to report such of its acti- vities as may be of interest to the members of the grand lodge. 122 Proceedings of the [October 14, The recommendations made and adopted by the grand lodge at its an- nual meeting in 1919 have not been strictly adhered to. The work at Camp Grant was discontinued on October 1, 1919. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Club in Waukegan was closed on May 1, 1920, and the furniture and equip- ment that could be moved was shipped to the Masonic Orphans' Home at LaGrange. A new tenant was secured and the lease was formally trans- ferred to him on June 1, 1920. Active work by this committee at Great Lakes was discontinued about January 15, 1920. The work at Fort Sheridan was placed in the hands of Brother LeEoy Hill on October 1st last, and in this work he was assisted by Brother E. G. Smith, a member of A. 0. Fay Lodge. During the month of December, 1919, Brother Eobt. C. Fletcher and Brother Geo. W. McFatrich of your committee personally visited and thoroughly inspected conditions at the hos- pital at Fort Sheridan, and decided that in spite of recommendations made by the committee at the last meeting of the grand lodge, the services of both Brethren Hill and Smith be continued at Fort Sheridan until such time as it should be unnecessary to retain both of them. Accordingly, the services of Brother E. G. Smith were continued until April 30, 1920, when he was dismissed with thanks for the able manner in which he had per- formed the duties assigned to him. On July 1st, last, there were confined at Fort Sheridan twenty-six mem- bers of the Masonic fraternity and but three of these were unable to get out of bed alone. Upon consultation with these, it was decided that they felt themselves well cared for because there were so few requiring personal attention. Arrangements were therefore made with Capt. Samuel Marcus of Waldeck Lodge, who was stationed at Fort Sheridan, to look after the interests of the Masonic fraternity and to report to the National Defense Committee if anything should transpire requiring our attention; and inas- much as the services of Brother LeEoy Hill, which have been so valuable to the committee and which have done much to elevate the standing of the Masonic fraternity at Great Lakes and Fort Sheridan, could be dispensed with, his emplojTnent was terminated on July 1, 1920. He was, however, retained on the payroll until August 1, 1920, to give him an opportunity to seek emplojTuent elsewhere, owing to the fact that as a result of his services with the committee, he had gotten out of touch with the business world. All expenses of the committee terminated July 8, 1920. It might be well to mention here that, as heretofore, all personal expenses of the com- mittee, such as railroad fares, meals, etc., have been borne by members of the committee. The only administrative expenses were the telephone and the salary of the stenographer. It is unnecessary to burden the members of the grand lodge with de- tailed reports of the various incidents which occurred to give the work the 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 123 interest which it had. A complete report of receipts and expenditures, to- gether with a statement of the location of the moneys belonging to the committee, will be found on the following pages. The National Defense Committee desires to thank the grand master and the grand lodge for the opportunity given it to carry on this work. The committee feels that it would not be proper to close this report without paying tribute to Past Grand Master Ealph H. Wheeler for origi- nating the idea of the National Defense Committee and its work. Your committee recommends that one of the two pool tables at Fort Sheridan be sent to the Anchor and Ark Club at Waukegan, and the other to the Masonic Home at Sullivan. Your committee also recommends that the records and files of its work be sent to the grand secretary at Camp Point, Illinois. Your committee recommends that the National Defense Committee be discharged, and that the funds now remaining to the credit of the com- mittee, amounting to $57,172.47, be turned over to the Masonic Orphans' Home at LaGrange.

Under the head of "Charter Arrested," we find that Locust Lodge No. 623 located at Owaneco flagrantly violated the law in regard to balloting on candidates for the degrees. Speeches as to the merits and demerits of 130 Proceedings of the [October 14, the petitioners were permitted. On one petition all present, except one, were permitted to expose their ballots. In one other case the record shows that one was elected on the third ballot. Eight Worshipful Brother Arthur E. Wood, senior grand warden, as the proxy for the grand master, together with the district deputy grand master, E.W. Brother E. J. Scarborough, visited the lodge and reported the facts as herein stated. Acting on this report the grand master arrested the charter. As there are some circum- stances requiring further investigation, it is recommended that the charter and property of the lodge be left in the hands of the incoming grand master with power to act as the circumstances may indicate. It appears that one Jacob Euehl, a member of Erwin Lodge No. 121 located at St. Louis, Missouri, wrote two insulting letters to Bro. Ealph H. Wheeler, past grand master. In these he violently assailed Brother Wheeler. In addition this grand lodge was assailed for its action in abol- ishing the use of the German language in conferring degrees. After con- ference with the Grand Master of Missouri the Grand Master of Illinois ordered charges preferred in Siloam Lodge No. 708. The trial was had by a commission and Jacob Euehl was indefinitely suspended. We recom- mend that the action taken be approved and Erwin Lodge be notified of the result. Complaint of gross unmasonie conduct was made by the senior and junior wardens, senior deacon and marshal of John Paul Jones Lodge No. 1013, against Aaron Bloom Harris, then worshipful master of that lodge. The case was referred to a commission. On its report the grand master deposed Aaron Bloom Harris from the office of master and suspended him until this session of grand lodge. The commission reported serious infrac- tions of the law by the master, Brother Harris. Tlie specific charges are outlined in the report of the grand master. The present master of the lodge who was then senior warden and one of the accusers, the junior deacon of the lodge who was also one of the accusers together with three other mem- bers of the lodge appeared before your committee. They represent the present feeling of the lodge regarding this case. While they do not in any way excuse the violation of the law by Brother Harris, they feel that as he has been suspended for almost a year, any new and extensive punish- ment would be excessive. They represent that more than 90 per cent of the lodge desire that Brother Harris be not given the extreme penalty that under many circumstances would be merited by his actions. They represent that all the accusers are of the same opinion. It is felt that the punishment of Brother Harris has been sufficient but your committee considering the grave offenses admitted to have been committed are such that we cannot pass them by without recommending a further punishment. We believe that his early restoration to membership in the lodge would be for its best in- terests. We therefore recommend that the grand master 's action be approved 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 131 and that Aaron Bloom Harris be suspended from all the rights and privi- leges of Masonry for six months from this date. During the campaign leading- up to the state-wide primary held Sep- tember 15, 1920, an organization, styling itself "Craftsman's League of America, incorporated, office 1511 City Hall Square Building, 139 North Clark Street, Chicago, ' ' sent broadcast to voters throughout the city and state a circular letter, enclosing a marked ballot for certain designated candidates on one of the party tickets. The letter said ' ' they arc all Masons" and urged craftsmen to vote for them as a Masonic duty. The ballot contained the name of one candidate for each office and the name and number of the lodge to which he belonged. The circular letter in which the ballot was enclosed said : " go to the polls and ask for a republican ballot. ' ' This outrageous proceeding brought a flood of protests to the grand master by indignant members and lodges from all i^arts of the state. It is scarcely conceivable that Master Masons would indulge in such despicable practices. While intensely patriotic at all times under all cir- cumstances. Masonry, nevertheless has always kept clear of partisan politics. Men who thus prostitute the craft by hiding behind such a camouflage as a "Craftsman's League" to win an advantage in an election, may be members of lodges but in no true sense can they be called Masons. Very properly those who perpetrated this contemptible outrage concealed their names. Evidently they were ashamed of this method of dragging the good name of the craft in the filth and mire of disreputable politics. Your committee is of the opinion that the grand master should by all means at his command ascertain the perpetrators of this serious offense and institute vigorous proceedings for discipline of the recalcitrants. Your committee desires to express the unanimous opinion that many whose names appear on this ballot had no knowledge whatever of the trans- action until after its consummation. They would have repudiated such action had it come to their knowledge. Evidently some, who wanted to utilize for their own selfish ends the respectability of well known Masons and the fraternity itself, perpetrated this fraud. Many protests have come to the grand master from lodges and brethren concerning soliciting for so-called Masonic insurance. This has been re- ferred to the Committee on Jurisprudence. At a recent session of this Grand Lodge, it was specifically decided that insurance of all kinds is prohibited iinder Code numbers 716 and 717. Insurance is a business whether it be called Masonic or otherwise. The mere fact that an insurance company will accept Masons only, does not exempt it from the prohibition in the law as referred to above. The only business permitted in the law is "the printing or publication of Masonic books, papers, or periodicals, or the manufacture and sale of Masonic supplies." The Masonic papers are thus favored because of their value to the craft. 132 Proceedings of tJie [October 14, The specific question involved at this time is •whether publishing in the Masonic press the advertisements of foreign insurance companies bearing the name of * ' Masonic " is a violation of the law. These organizations have the legal right to do business in Illinois, if they comply with the regulations of the insurance department of the state. We are of the opinion, however, that the grand lodge has complete jurisdiction over the individual Mason. It can prohibit him from being a party to any business in violation of Masonic law. Any insurance assuming to be Masonic is illegal under the laws of this grand lodge. We are of the opinion that the publication by a Masonic newspaper of advertisements of insurance or other business enterprises, bearing the name of "Mason" or "Masonic," is contrary to the spirit of the sections quoted. The reasons will readily appear. The representative of a so-called Masonic insurance company can go into the lodge rooms with a copy of a Masonic publication and solicit the business of Masons who are led to believe that because the advertisement appears in a Masonic paper that it is fosterefl, supported and authorized by the Grand Lodge of Illinois. It is impossible for the grand lodge or individual Masons to know the character of those corporations organized under the laws of other states. We therefore hold, that the law contained in Sections 716 and 717 would subject the publishers of Masonic papers to discipline by their lodges. Your committee regrets that it may seem to hold against the business transactions of our Masonic papers. However, in construing the law we must do so from its meaning, and from the spirit of the Craft. Owen Scott, Wm. B. Wright, 0. E. Allen, E. C. Davenport, Committee. A minority report on the insurance proposition was pre- sented by Bro. Geo. M. Moulton. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: The undersigned concurs in the accompanying report signed by his colleagues in the Committee on Jurisprudence, with the following reserva- tion, namely: The undersigned, for reasons following, dissents from the views ex- pressed in the majority report of the committee relative to advertising by existing insurance companies claiming, by their name and title, to be Ma- sonic; which subject does not appear in the report of the M, W. Grand 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 133 Master, and according to the record was conclusively disposed of at the last annual meeting of the grand lodge. In the first place, the insurance companies to which reference is made are all lawfully constituted, and they were all duly incorporated and ex- ercising their corporate powers prior to the enactment of the present grand lodge by-laws. Some, if not all of them, have received the direct sanction and approval of the grand lodges within whose jurisdiction they are domiciled. It must also be conceded that no law can be made retroactive, as that would be in violation of the constitution of the United States of America. I am willing to concede that no insurance company including the word "Masonic" in its name and title could be lawfully organized in Illinois since the enactment of the present code of grand lodge by-laws, and that any Mason engaged in promoting or operating such an insurance company would be liable to the charge of unmasonic conduct, subject to trial thereon, and punishment if the charge is proven. But the law could not properly be applied to companies, or individuals connected with them, which had been lawfully organized prior to the prohibitory legislation, as recited in section 717 of our grand lodge by-laws. The concerns now under consideration, being lawful entities, are en- titled to all the rights, benefits and privileges to which they were entitled prior to the enactment of this law which enjoins the creation of further organizations of like character and name. Advertising their business is one of these rights heretofore appertaining to these corporations m com- mon with all other business concerns of a lawful character, and it would savor of class legislation, as well as be unconstitutional, to deprive them of this right. If it be considered just and in accordance with law to prohibit a Ma- sonic journal from publishing advertisements of these Masonic insurance companies because the editors and proprietors of such Masonic journals are Masons; or to bring such editor or proprietor to trial in their lodge for violation of grand lodge law, then it would be necessary, in order to be impartial, even consistent, to summon the editors or proprietors of the daily newspapers of our city, many of whom happen to be Masons, and whose publications contain the advertisement of Masonic insurance companies. The principal owners and editors of the Chicago Tribune are Masons, yet it is my firm conviction that no one would have the temerity to summon them to trial in their lodge for publishing the advertisement of a lawfully organized and conducted insurance company calling itself Masonic, espe- cially if that company had been lawfully created prior to the enactment of section 717 of the present code of grand lodge by-laws. I am also firmly of the opinion that this section affects only individual Masons, and by no exercise of reason, can be made to apply to corporations, which are merely abstract legal entities. As such they are subject to civil 134 Proceedings of tlie [October 14, law like iudividuals, but corporations certainly cannot jiroperly be brought before a Masonic tribunal for trial. My concluding thought is that even if the editor or proprietor of a Masonic periodical, who, being a Mason, should be deemed to have per- sonally violated a Masonic law as enacted by the Grand Lodge A. P. & A, M. of Illinois for publishing advertisements of a Masonic insurance com- pany because of his being the principal owner and person in absolute con- trol of the policies and activities of that periodical, ho eoiild adequately defend his conduct as being in pursuance of a lawful and laudable under- taking in which every one of his brothers in Masonry has solemnly vowed in his Masonic obligation that he should not be supplanted. To organize or exploit a Masonic insurance company after the enactment of section 717 of our grand lodge by-laws would not be a lawful undertaking, but the insurance companies now in existence bearing a Masonic title were cer- tainly lawful undertakings prior to the enactment of the present prohibi- tion against such concerns, and that lawful character cannot be taken from them by subsequent legislation. The conclusion must be that if such or- ganizations are lawful by civil and Masonic standards, then it is lawful for a brother to promote their interests and welfare by advertising, or by any other lawful method. For the reasons I have stated, I feel justified in my conclusion that any action, having for its purpose the suppression or prevention of advertising by insurance companies bearing a Masonic title, which were organized and operating prior to the enactment of section 717 of our present code of grand lodge by-laws would be inconsistent with justice and equity, and also ultra vires so far as the Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of Illinois is con- cerned. Fraternally submitted, Geo. M. Moulton. A motion to substitute the minority report for the portion of the report of the committee relative to advertising in Ma- sonic periodicals was lost. On motion, the report of the committee was adopted. Report — Committee on Transportation. The Transportation Committee presented their report. It was adopted. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: Brethren: Your Committee on Transportation respectfully report that they arranged for a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip over 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 135 all railways in Illinois, members of the Western, Central and Soutli Passen- ger Associations. We have received, certified and turned over to the joint agents of these passenger associations more than 250 certificates, which have been duly validated and will be returned to the brethren through the District Dej^uty Grand Master of their respective districts with their mileage and per diem vouchers enabling them to buy their return ticket for one-third the regular fare. Eespectfully submitted, L. L. Emmerson, John B. Aiken, Fkank J. Burton, Committee. Report — Committee on Legislation. Bro. Henry T. Burnap, chairman of the Committee on New Legislation, made the following report. Your Committee on Legislation, to whom was re-referred the report which it made to this grand lodge, reports as follows: Covering 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, your committee submits the following code: "419. When a brother desires to change his name he shall maie a formal application in writing to his lodge. The application shall then be submitted to the grand lodge for permission to change. The same shall then be referred to the Committee on Petitions. On report of the committee the grand lodge may grant or refuse such permission. The grand secretary shall certify the action to the lodge. If permission be granted, the secretary of the lodge shall enter the name, as changed, on its records." Your committee recommends that this be not adopted. Covering the decision of the same grand master, reported at the annual meeting in 1916, which applies to life members not heard from for seven years, the following form is submitted by the committee and its adoption recommended : "425. Where life members have not been heard from for more than seven years, the worshipful master shall direct the secretary to report the names of such missing brethren in the grand lodge returns as being ' legally 136 Proceedings of the [October 14, dead.' Their names shall then be dropped from the rolls of active mem- bership. ' ' H. T. BURNAP, Jos. J, Sha-w, William Wilhartz, Committee. The recommendation of the committee as to section 419 was adopted. The proposed amendment to Code 425, submitted in writ- ing, was seconded by more than twenty representatives and referred to the Committee on Legislation. The report of the Committee on Legislation recommended its adoption and by unanimous vote the amendment was adopted. Roll Call of Representatives. The grand secretary called the roll and the grand master presented and introduced representatives of other grand lodges near the grand lodge of Illinois. Bro. William B.

King Wisconsin Second Report — Committee on Chartered Lodges. The second report of the Committee on Chartered Lodges was read by Bro. Phil C. Barclay. The report was adopted. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois: We, your Committee on Chartered Lodges having carefully checked over the reports of the district deputy grand masters covering detailed state- ments of their official visits to, and inspections of the lodges as provided by the by-laws defining their duties, present this special report. Of the 885 chartered lodges we received reports on 790, leaving 95 not visited and for those for which any expense at all was charged, the average cost per lodge was $2.36 each. From an examination of the reports we are led to believe that some of the deputies were either not conversant with the duties required of them or failed to comply with the requirements, for quite a number of the reports would indicate that they were based on data obtained by visits to the mas- ters or secretaries instead of to the lodges as provided for by Code No. 165. From the reports as received on 790 lodges we find that 345 own their own lodge home either exclusively or jointly; that 378 are not provided with fire-proof safes or vaults for the safe keeping of their records; in 19 lodges the secretaries were not provided with proper books and blanks; 138 Proceedings of the [October 14, in 20 lodges Code 465 was violated, 44 failed to show in their minutes re- ceipts of fees and dues, 15 failed to show time of opening and closing and in 33 the minutes were not signed by both master and secretary; 18 were not using proper form of petitions for degrees and affiliation; there were 18 lodges whose by-laws did not conform with grand lodge by-laws; 2 were not provided with candidate's garment; 26 had no middle chamber pillars and 30 had no third degree outfit as prescribed ; and 7 were without proper receiving instruments for the senior deacon. In 49 lodges the books of secretary and treasurer were not audited each year and 482 secretaries, 468 treasurers were not bonded. In 104 lodges the minutes were not kept as prescribed; 10 lodges had no roll of membership with by-laws for signature of members; 2 had no rods for the deacons while one had no lesser lights. In many lodges the dues are not collected promptly. As to annual dues, we find that in many lodges they are entirely too low, varying from $1.50 up and for the 790 reported on, sixty per cent were $4.00 or less. We recom- mend that legislation be enacted making $4.00 the minimum amount to be charged. We suggest that the deputies in making the visits and inspections the coming year compare conditions with their reports for the previous visit and note whether recommendations made have been carried out. In this manner they can be of greater benefit to the lodges. Fraternally submitted, Phil C. Barclay, W. W. Watson, LiNDORP Walker, J. HuBER Allen, A. B. Steuben, Committee. Amendment to Code Offered. The following amendment to Code 552 was presented. It was seconded by the representatives of more than twenty lodges and goes to the Committee on Legislation. Section 552 — Line 8 now reads: "In all cities having a population of more than 200,000 inhabitants the minimum fee for the degrees shall be $75.00. It is proposed to amend the above section by striking out the words $75.00 and substituting therefor the words $100.00. 1920] Grand Lodge of Illinois 139 Making the section read: "In all cities having a population of more than 200,000 inhabitants the minimum fees for the degrees shall be $100.00, Grand Officers.

At the date of this report, September 30, all our children are well and healthy. One of our boys was unfortunate enough to break his leg while . playing baseball and is still confined to his bed although making rapid recovery. During the past year we have had two cases of scarlet fever, twelve of measles, eight of chiekenpox and about 30 of "Flu." All were of an extremely light character. None of the patients from scarlet fever to ' ' flu ' ' were in bed more than two days, but all were segregated the required length of time. The most unfortunate feature was the loss of school privileges. Each child in the Home, whether sick or well, lost about nine weeks of school. By hard continuous work evenings, however, the lost ground was recovered and not a child failed to make its grade. Our garden has furnished and is still furnishing abundance of delicious fresh vegetables, but owing to the fact that our Print Shop occupies our former cooking school room, we have beeu able to do but a limited amount of canning. Entertainments During the year the following Masonic bodies have entertained the children : Medinah Temple entertained Band and Drill Team. Hinsdale Lodge entertained Band and presented 20 music stands. William B. Warren Lodge No. 209 entertained children at Sells Floto Circus. Aryan Grotto entertained children at their minstrel show.

Barton 250.00 Sept. 27 Unknown 10.00 $594.17 From an educational as well as a financial viewpoint our Print Shop has had a very successful year. Four of our boys have devoted most of their spare time to work in the Shop and are rapidly acquiring a knowledge of the Printing Art. But that is by no means all. \ As an educational activity its value is beyond price. Those engaged in the actual work are receiving a liberal education in spelling, punctuation, the proper use of capitals, and are acquiring a wider vocabulary, a knowledge of our lan- guage that enables them to express their thoughts and ideas grammatically, intelligibly, coherently. Detailed Report — Masonic Homes 207 This activity is continually growing in size and interest and of necessity it must either continue to grow and prosper, or the doors be closed and activities cease. It cannot stand still. From a financial viewpoint the following appears: Received for work done $ 453.15 Received contributions as shown above 594.17 $1,047.32 Expended for permanent equipment ."{i 199.06 Expended for paper, ink, etc 191.41 390.47 Balance in LaGrange State Bank $ 65G.S5 Whatever measure of success the Print Shop shows, whatever knowledge of the Art our boys have acquired, credit must be given solely and entirely to Bros. Geo. Lockie and A. E. Harvie of Riverside Lodge, who have been the boys' highly efficient teachers. During the entire year, not a week has passed that one or both of these brothers have not been here with the boys for at least five hours, giving from the great storehouse of experience the knowledge so valuable to them. We cannot, however, continue to place the burden of instruction on these two brothers. When the plant is installed in the quarters provided in the new building, a class of at least twelve boys and girls can be given from one to two hours instruction a day. To do this and obtain results, a prac- tical all round printer, of the very highest skill should be obtained as instructor. From our past year's results, I feel certain that the returns from work done by the boys and girls with the assistance of the instructor would be sufficient to take care of the entire expense of the maintenance and upkeep of the Print Shop. In conclusion I wish to call your attention to the seriousness of the school situation here. The schools of LaGrange are crowded to bursting. Our Eighth grade children (ten in number) have to walk one and one-half miles to the Ogden Avenue school. These are compelled to cross the four tracks of the C. B. & Q. going and returning. On the second day of the current term of school I was notified that our Sixth and Seventh grade children would have to attend the Congress Park school, one and one-quarter miles to the east and over the switching tracks of the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad. It was only after a vigorous campaign of protest inaugurated by the local member of your Board that this order was held in abeyance and the twenty-five children permitted to continue at the Cossitt school. Sooner or later it will be enforced. The overcrowded condition will compel it. The packed condition of the schools makes it impossible to give in- dividual attention to the child, and without individual attention the training 208 Appendix will necessarily be superficial. The grade schools furnish no vocational training. Our two months a year but scratches the surface of things. The result is that our wards, most of whom must make their living with their hands, are thrown upon the world untrained. Of the four children leaving the Home next year on account of age limit, one only is in anything like an adequate manner equipped for the battle of life. He is the product of our Print Shop.

To the Executive Committee of the Board of Managers of the Illinois Ma- sonic Home. Brethren : I herewith beg to submit my second report as Superintendent of the Illinois Masonic Home. We are pleased to report that through the months of October, Novem- ber, December and January, the health condition of the Home was very good. During the month of February many of the members and employees were ill due to the Flu epidemic which was serious for eight weeks, causing the death of four members, three of which were past the age of eighty. Since May 1st, the health condition has been good considering the age of the members. Improvements have been made as follows: A 5 ton, per 24 hr., Refrigeration Plant has been installed at a cost of $3,311.97. In the installation of this plant much credit is due Brother Albert Lea of Chicago, Illinois, who gave most of his services in installing both the Home and Hospital cold storage, and which has proven to be all that could be asked for. An Atlas Engine and Commercial Electrical Generator has been pur- chased and installed in the Power House at a cost of $1,349.42. A Worthington Brass Fitted Duplex Steam Pump, 6"x4'x6" for boiler feed pump, has been purchased at a cost of $172.00. A garage, 26 ft. x 36 ft. has been built and completed with the excep- tion of some overhead plastering and pipe heating. An appropriation of $1,500.00 was made for this building and the building will be completed within this amount. The reservoir which was excavated in May and June and completed during the first ten days of July, 1919, has proven a great blessing to the Home. Detailed Report — Masonic Homes 209 One hundred and ten Norway Maple trees were set out May 1st at a cost of 65 cents each, including freight and cultivation, total amount $71.50. These trees are living and doing nicely. One dozen Chestnut and Pecan trees which were set 40 feet from the reservoir are nearly all living. Not more than one half of the Catalpa trees which were set last spring survived the drought. We passed through a drought of 95 days, receiving not more than one and one-half inches of rainfall during this period. A vineyard has been set with 2 year old vines which has been culti- vated and has made excellent growth. Hardwood posts were set to each vine, 236 posts being used and made on the farm at a cost of $57.80 for making and setting. If this vineyard is cared for as it has been in the past season, it will produce all the grapes needed for fruit and grape juice for Hospital. The farm, fencing and buildings are in excellent condition and I can state in a better condition by $1,000 than they were twelve months ago. The dairy cows and all the stock on the farm are in good condition. The usual observance of the Holidays began Hallowe'en when the members were entertained by a Home Talent play given by the employees of the Home. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Washington's Birthday and Easter Time were all observed. On Sunday, July 4th, the Sullivan Band gave a two hour concert. A patriotic addre&s was delivered by John L. McLaughlin of Sullivan and music was furnished by the Sullivan Male Quartet which was greatly appre- ciated by all. On Monday evening, 5th, Sullivan celebrated the 4th with a beautiful display of fireworks which was followed Tuesday, July 6th, by a display of fireworks from the Home grounds and the Sullivan Band gave a program which lasted two hours. During the month of April a Home Talent Play, "Ye Old Time Sing- ing School," was given for the Old People by the employees which proved very entertaining. During all the holidays the Home and Hospital were nicely decorated, especially during the Christmas holidays. The Hospital menus for both the Home and Hospital were the best that money could purchase. On September 12th a chicken dinner was given the members, a dona- tion from Bee Hive Lodge No. 909, Chicago, Illinois. EespectfuUy submitted, J. B. Smith, Superintendent.

For a long time it has been felt that the Proceedings issued by our grand lodge were entirely too bulky and that each year there was a disposition to crowd more and more material into the book until the volume com- menced to assume an alarming size. The tendency of the present administration has been to re- duce as much as possible the number of pages in the printed Proceedings and to eliminate as far as possible all extraneous matter. With this idea in view the correspondent was re- quested to reduce his report to the smallest possible number of pages. The first report presented by this writer contained 325 pages, the second report contained 275, while this report has been shortened just as much as possible. The idea may be gained that it is much easier to write a short review than it is to prepare one of extended reference. Such, however, is not the case. When it is necessary to say as little as possible concerning the proceedings of a grand lodge very careful reading is required and every effort must be made toward condensation and paraphrasing. In the report which is submitted every effort has been made to glean from the proceedings of the grand lodges reviewed such matter as ap- peared to the writer to be of vital interest to the Craft. The Correspondent would like very much to have arranged the review for 1920 in a topical form but was unable to devise a plan that might do justice to the various grand lodges un- der consideration and present the subject matter in such a manner that a fair idea could be gained of what had been ac- complished by each jurisdiction during the past year. This report is offered without any apology whatsoever. The writer has put forth his best endeavor to comply with the IV wishes of the constituted authorities in the matter of condensa- tion and while he has been unable to make any quotations from any of the Proceedings reviewed or to introduce running com- ment as he w^as so often tempted to do, yet it is hoped that the report will meet w^ith the approval of those members of the Craft of Illinois who are interested in what other grand lodges are doing and who desire to extend their general knowl- edge of Masonic affairs beyond the confines of their own state. Fraternally, DELMAR D. DARRAH. Bloomington, Illinois, October i, 1920. THE POINT OF VIEW One of the principal subjects whicli has engaged the at- tention of nearly every grand master as judged from the Pro- ceedings reviewed relates to the tremendous increase in mem- bership which the Craft has enjoyed during the past two or three years. Many grand masters have speculated upon this wonderful addition to the membership of our lodges but no one seems to have been able to ascertain the direct cause as to why so many men, both young and old, have sought the privileges of the fraternity. Among the reasons assigned are the influence of the war, the fact that a large number of men are beginning to realize that Freemasonry is really worth while and the general law of the survival of the fittest. As to whether or not this increase is to be permanent no one seems to be able to arrive at a definite opinion. It is believed, how- ever, that while the crest of the great wave has been reached, yet it will be several years before Freemasonry will drop back to the ordinary methods of procedure, particularly in this respect. * * * * Several grand lodges have considered the matter of col- lective work or the grouping of candidates for the degrees, but it seems that very little progress has been made in this direction for the reason that the older members of the Craft seem wedded to the single degree idea and make vigorous opposition against any plan which looks to the grouping of candidates in the matter of conferring degrees. The fact that the subject is receiving consideration and that several grand masters have made recommendations along this line shows very clearly the trend of Masonic thought. Great reforms come very slowly and it is not expected that in a matter of this sort that there would be very much change of sentiment over night. The solution of this problem is going to come from a VI better understanding of Freemasonry and can only result when the members of the Craft come to realize that the ritual is simply a means to an end and that after all there are in the fraternity great fundamental principles and truths which form the basis of its organization and effort. When this period is reached we may expect that this c^uestion of initiation of can- didates will assume a new and different view. * * * * From the numerous Proceedings which have been reviewed the idea is gained that Masonic Homes in nearly every locality have been hampered because of lack of funds with which to carry on their work. An examination of the various Pro- ceedings shows that in many cases this subject has received attention and that various means have been devised for in- creasing the revenues of grand lodges in order that the Homes may be sustained and their great work carried forward. In this connection it should not be forgotten that if the Craft increases in membership there will come a greater demand upon it for charitable assistance and that suitable revenues must be provided if this work is to be carried forward to a successful termination. Because it was possible to operate our Masonic charities on a basis of 50 cents per capita six or seven years ago is no argument that the same thing can be done now. All of Freemasonry is facing the serious problem of providing revenue to take care of the helpless and indigent and an institution which is as strong and vigorous as the Masonic fraternity should not hesitate nor quibble over the matter of raising additional funds for charitable purposes. * * * * In all parts of the country Masonic building appears to be at a standstill. Many temples which have been projected and for which liberal sums have already been raised have been laid aside because of the high cost of both labor and materials and the general feeling that the cost of such an enterprise at the VII present time is positively prohibitive. The writer has had an opportunity to study this problem from every possible angle, being engaged at the present time in the construction of a Masonic edifice which will cost, without furnishings, one-half million dollars. Experts declare that it will require seven years for the country to catch up with its building program, that with the shortage of suitable housing accommodations and the need of additional factory plants will tend to keep up the cost of building until conditions assume normal proportions. There is no doubt that the Masonic body which builds at the present time must ultimately stand a very heavy shrinkage in value, but the question for each Masonic organization to work out depends upon its own needs as to whether or not it can wait imtil the cost of building is properly reduced or whether the conditions surrounding it are such that to pay the high costs which are demanded at the present time will afiford the Masonic body an opportunity to work out its destiny at a time when demands upon it are the heaviest. No doubt this problem will adjust itself in due time and it is expected that some of these days there will be witnessed a wonderful era of Masonic build- ing throughout the country, but for the present the problem is one for the individual lodge to solve according to its own needs. * * * * Grand masters have complained during the past year of great laxity in the matter of investigating petitioners for the degrees. The principal reasons assigned for this apparent Masonic neglect are to be found in the overwhelming number of petitions which are sent to lodges and the inability to get members to devote proper time to looking up those who apply for the privileges of the fraternity. It cannot be doubted but this is an age which demands the careful scrutiny of everyone who knocks at the door of the lodge. There are so many in- dividuals in the country at the present time who hold ideas which are at variance to those of the Masonic society that the VI better understanding of Freemasonry and can only result when the members of the Craft come to realize that the ritual is simply a means to an end and that after all there are in the fraternity great fundamental principles and truths which form the basis of its organization and effort. When this period is reached we may expect that this cjuestion of initiation of can- didates will assume a new and different view. * * * * From the numerous Proceedings which have been reviewed the idea is gained that Masonic Homes in nearly every locality have been hampered because of lack of funds with which to carry on their work.

It cannot be doubted but this is an age which demands the careful scrutiny of everyone who knocks at the door of the lodge. There are so many in- dividuals in the country at the present time who hold ideas which are at variance to those of the Masonic society that the VIII admission of such would be a most serious calamity. It is believed that the problem of proper investigation of petition- ers for degrees is one which ought to be worked out along new and more progressive lines. The old idea of secrecy in appointing an investigating committee and the present practice of picking anybody as a member of such committee does not comport with present day conditions. It is believed that we have reached a period in our Masonic development when a single committee on petitions composed of men who have the time and ingenuity to devote to the cause would be desirable. It is an old saying that what is everybody's business is no- body's business and this seems to be largely true in the matter of investigating candidates for the privileges of the fraternity. This is a problem with which the society must grapple sooner or later and it is believed that it can be worked out in due time when thoughtful men give to the subject that attention which it should receive. SfC 2|C 3|C )^ A large number of grand lodges have already joined the Masonic Service Association as conceived and put into effect by our brethren of Iowa. There are a number of other grand lodges however which have declined to join in this movement and who have declared themselves as opposed to such an organization on the ground that the prerogatives of the in- dividual grand lodge are attacked. There is no doubt in the world but the idea behind the Masonic Service Association is correct however faulty the plan may be and regardless of what errors may have been made in the formation and or- ganization of the society. Enough grand lodges have already joined the association to make it one of force in the Masonic world. Those grand lodges which do not unite with the society are simply within their personal privileges and by with- holding a membership will by no means impede the progress of an endeavor which promises so much for the coordination IX of Masonic effort. The outcome will be watched with much interest. The writer believes that ultimately all grand lodges will be united in some sort of an organization which will tend to unite and direct the energy of the fraternity toward a definite purpose and a higher reality. * * * * The printed Proceedings which have been reviewed show that the George Washington Memorial Association has re- ceived almost universal approval everywhere. The effort to raise funds for the erection of this great memorial in Alex- andria, Virginia, has been directed toward the individual Mason who has been asked to contribute to the extent of his ability. From reports which have been received it is be- lieved that this project is now well under way and it will be only a short time until enough funds will be realized to enable the promoters of the enterprise to proceed with the work. The project has advanced now to such a degree that it can- not possibly fail. The only thing remaining is for each grand lodge to raise its quota of the expense and with the plans now in operation it is believed that this will be accomplished in a very short time, * * * * One of the most hopeful signs of the times as indicated by the Proceedings of the various grand lodges is a disposi- tion to stabilize existing laws. During the year there have been very few decisions on the part of the grand masters and such as have been presented have in a large measure related to the interpretation of local laws and so far as the writer has been able to discern no startling nor alarming decisions have been made by any grand master, nor has there been any dis- position on the part of anyone to deviate from the established rules and conditions of the society. One of the greatest needs in the Masonic world today is less tinkering with existing rules and regulations. While the amendment habit has been by no means conquered yet there is a very strong disposition on the part of all grand lodges to correct their Books of Statutes as far as possible and then to let them alone. It is predicted that the time is not far distant when a decision by a grand master will be a very rare thing because the laws, the rules and regu- lations of the society will become so well understood that there will be no necessity for any grand lodge official putting an interpretation upon them, other than that which is implied in the law itself. * * * * Several grand lodges have been modifying and correcting their rituals. This indicates that there is apparently a better understanding of what Masonry means and what it really stands for. For a long time the idea was held that the ritual was a very sacred thing. It was not understood that all the ritual we have was simply man-made and is the result of a long and tedious evolution and that many minds have taken part in its amplification. There is too much disposition at the present time to exalt ritualism above everything else, but many of the old ideas which have been held upon this subject are fast going into the discard because we are living in a new and progressive age when Freemasonry must adapt itself to the conditions which surround it and to assume a more liberal view upon many matters which it has heretofore held as sacred and inviolate simply because these ideas have been inherited from a superstitious past. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON Masonic Correspondence NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY DELMAR D. DARRAH ALABAMA, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The ninety-ninth annual communication was held in the city of Montgomery December 3 and 4, 1919. When the roll of grand representa- tives was called William W. Daffin responded to Illinois. The report of the Committee on Credentials which occupies a large portion of the front part of the book shows that the lodges of the state were well represented. The grand lodge lost no time in preliminaries. It was briefly opened, after which the grand master, Eobert S. Teague, read his annual address. He speaks about the relaxation following the war and says that it has accelerated many reactionary movements already in progress. He calls upon all good Americans to get behind the government and states that in the period of reconstruction the Masonic Fraternity has a mission to perform. Two decisions were made by the grand master, one was that when a Master Mason's daughter marries a profane she loses the rights of a daughter of a Master Mason and the death of her husband does not restore said rights. This is rather a hard and fast interpretation of Masonic Law and we are seriously disposed to doubt the wisdom of such a decision. Seven dispensations for the formation of new lodges were issued. The charter of three lodges which had been arrested were restored. Seven lodges which had failed to meet for six months received dispensa- tions carrying them over to the present meeting of the grand lodge and the recommendation made that their charters be restored free of cost. 11 12 Appendix — Part I Two lodges were obliged to apply for dispensations to open by reason of the fact that both master and wardens were absent from the juris- diction. Twelve lodges applied for dispensations either to sell or mort- gage property and the necessary permission was granted by the grand master. The corner-stones of two lodge halls were laid, also the corner-stone of a school building. The Masonic Home receives very favorable mention from the grand master. The need of twenty more bedrooms is emphasized and the rec- ommendation made that the grand lodge issue bonds to cover the im- provements and that the work immediately proceed. Among the recommendations made is one relating to the revision of the by-laws and edicts of the grand lodge. A recommendation is also made that the various funds now maintained by the grand lodge be changed so that ample provision may be made by retiring bonds of the grand lodge now outstanding. The first thing the grand lodge did was to reaffirm its fundamentals. One was the belief in God and the second was the exhibition and display in. the Masonic Order of the Holy Bible. The reason for the grand lodge taking up this subject appears to have been that several grand lodges had been lax in this matter by endeavoring to stretch the old funda- mentals to permit recognition of French Masonry. The grand treasurer reports receipts of $19,000 and expenditures for all purposes of approximately $20,000. The report of the grand secretary is of the usual form relating to finances and statistical matters. Fourteen lodges failed to make a report on a proposition to amend the constitution and their masters were duly summoned to appear be- fore the grand Ipdge and to explain their remissness of duty. Quite an extensive report was submitted by Oliver D. Street, chair- man of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence relative to the recog- nition of foreign grand bodies. Those which received favorable con- sideration were Belgium, Denmark and Holland. Mexico came in for quite an elaborate discussion. One thing the grand lodge does is to appoint a Committee on Ex- cuses. If representatives fail to attend the sessions note is made of the fact and their lodges informed. This is a pretty good idea. Too many representatives look upon a grand lodge meeting in a large city as a sort of junket out of which they get a pleasure trip with all expenses paid. Masonic Correspondence 13 The total number of members in the Masonic Home is given at 161. The home is operated at a cost of $34,708.97. From the report it appears that the lodges of the state are very generous in contributing to the maintenance of this institution. The evening of the second day was given over to reports from the Committee on Work. The idea is gained that the Grand Lodge of Ala- bama is revising its work, or at least making some changes in the present mode of procedure. About the last thing the grand lodge did before closing was to call the roll of representatives and the grand secretary was directed to notify all lodges whose representatives failed to respond when their names were called. The Jurisprudence Committee presented the last report of the session and dealt with such matters as had been referred to it. It recommended the issuance of bonds in the sum of $35,000 for the purpose of erecting buildings at the Masonic Home and approved the many acts of the grand master. The election of officers, installation, and a resolution to procure a suitable testimonial for the grand master closed the session. Oliver D. Street writes the report on Foreign Correspondence and it is a most excellent one. Illinois for 1918 is generously considered and many quotations and references are taken from our proceedings. He considers Illinois topically and in reference to the arrest of the charter of a German speaking lodge by the grand master he asks, ' ' When will Masonry ever get away from the divine right of king's idea that grand masters are more powerful than grand lodges. Brother Street is asking a very pertinent question, one which this writer has on numerous occasions referred to. He says "Amen" to the action of the grand lodge in prohibiting smoking in open lodge. He is very kind to this reviewer and refers to his report as one of the very best of the year and that it possesses that rare quality, common sense. The writer is deeply grate- ful to Brother Street for the many nice things which he said and it is apparent from looking over Brother Street's review that both he and the writer agree on very many subjects and that both are thinking a little ahead of the present day and age.

The report of the Committee on Credentials does not show the ambassador from Illinois to have been present. The grand master was confined to his home on account of sickness and the deputy grand master presided and conducted the affairs of the grand lodge. The report to the grand lodge of Edwin A. Hughes, grand master, is a document which goes into detail concerning the transactions of his office during the time that he served the craft. He reports the condi- tion of foreign relations to be most satisfactory and the Grand Lodge of Arizona at peace with all the Masonic world. A number of dispensations were issued, many of them related to the cancellation of stated meetings on account of the epidemic of in- fluenza. One new lodge was constituted during the year and one Masonic Hall dedicated. The grand master states that he was unable to make as many visitations as he should like to have done owing to the fact that the business of his office did not permit him to leave home. The George Washington Masonic Memorial Association received fa- vorable mention and an appeal from the Masonic War Belief Association for assistance is presented for such action as the grand lodge may deem expedient. The Iowa Masonic Service Association is reported in detail and a recommendation made that the Grand Lodge of Arizona become a mem- ber of this association. The question of recognizing the Grand Lodge of France is pre- sented and the matter left to the wisdom of the grand lodge. The grand secretary makes quite a complete report of the various transactions which passed through his office. From the proceedings the idea is gained that the financial condition of the grand lodge is most satisfactory, the total assets being given as $72,579. The report of the grand lecturer is interesting because he goes much into detail concerning the work which he performed in the inter- ests of disseminating Masonic light and information. The grand lodge has a committee on the history of Masonry in Arizona which presented quite an extended report. The document in Masonic Correspondence 15 the main was a scheme or plan for gathering such information as might be necessary to compile a volume appertaining to the growth and develop- ment of Masonry in the State of Arizona. The Committee on Foreign Correspondence fully endorsed the Ma- sonic Service Association and recommended that the grand lodge take membership and the motion prevailed unanimously. One thing the grand lodge does is to prepare a budget wherein is estimated the actual income for the year and there is set forth the neces- sary expenditures for maintaining the grand lodge. The question of recognizing Mexican Grand Lodges came up but the matter was deferred owing to the unsettled conditions in that country. The election and installation of officers closed the session. There is no report on foreign correspondence, the balance of the proceedings being given to printing the roster of the officers and mem- bers of the Lodges of Arizona. James Henry Barrett, G.M., Douglas. Geo. J. Roskruge, G.S., Tucson. ARKANSAS, F. & A. M. 1919 The seventy-eighth annual communication was held in the city of Little Eock commencing on Tuesday, the 18th of November, 1919. The Committee on Credentials reports the presence of Illinois Grand Eepresentative George Thornburgh. The address of the grand master, G. W. Wells, was the first item of interest. He evidently discharged the duties of his office with care and discrimination for his report covers many details which show him to have been thoroughly alive to the responsibilities resting upon him. Two dispensations were issued for the formation of new lodges, while one lodge had its charter arrested and the master of another lodge was suspended from office and cited to appear before the grand lodge for trial. Eleven decisions were presented by the grand master. One of them was to the effect that an epileptic is not a fit subject for the degrees of Ma- sonry. Another decision pronounced the ballot illegal when taken with either white or black balls absent from the box. The final decision was that it is not lawful for a subordinate lodge to provide a sick or death 16 Appendix — Part I benefit fund. Apparently this latter decision applied to the lodge but was not meant to restrict brethren from forming a Low Twelve Club, and providing burial benefits. The grand master asked the grand lodge to administer proper disci- pline upon two sons of an expelled Mason who erected a monument over the grave of their father with Masonic emblems carved upon the stone. The grand master reports the total destruction by fire of the Masonic Temple at Little Kock, in which was located the grand secretary's office. Fortunately, many of the valuable records were saved. The Masonic Service Association, as conceived by our brethren of Iowa, received the endorsement of the grand master who recommends the adoption of the tentative constitution for the reason, as he states, ' ' that such an organization will prevent the recurrence of the embarrassing situa- tion in which we were placed when we were denied passports to go across the waters and engage in 'war relief work,' which forced us to do what we did, along this line through the Eed Cross." The Washington Masonic Memorial Association is highly commended to the grand lodge. Two recommendations were made: That the laws be redigested and that the grand lecturer be authorized to hold a Masonic School of Instruc- tion in each district of the state, the grand lodge to pay the cost thereof, and each constituent lodge to pay the expenses of the master in attending this school. The grand secretary, Fay Hempstead, presents a very complete report of the transactions of his office, and reports the total revenue from all sources as $52,360.50. The number of chartered lodges on the roll is given at 554. The Committee on Laws presented several rulings, one of which re- duced the time limit on rejected candidates to three years, while another was that any past master in good standing could officiate at a Masonic funeral. The proposition concerning district schools was approved except that the committee recommended that the expenses be pro rated among the lodges of the county. The Board of Trustes of the Masonic Orphans Home had some trou- ble during the year getting superintendents and matrons, two superinten- dents and their wives having resigned on short leave, placing the board and the home in a very embarrassing situation. On the evening of the first day, the Ladies of the Order of Eastern Star were received in the Lodge Hall, and listened to the address of the grand orator, S. O. Whaley. The oration dealt very largely with the Kevo- Masonic Correspondence 17 lutionary War, and the part which Masonic patriots took in that momentous struggle. The Committee on Foreign Correspondence presents a resume of the principal transactions of the various grand lodges and concluded with a dissertation on French Masonry, and recommend that the grand lodge be declared in fraternal relations with the Grand Orient of France as well as the Grand Lodge of France. Two lodges imder dispensation were granted their charters, officers elected, and installed, and a very pleasant, interesting, and profitable session brought to a close. There is no review on foreign grand jurisdictions other than that pre- sented by the committee during the session of the grand lodge. Louis Bauerlein, G.M., Camden. Fay Hempstead, G.S., Little Eoek. BRITISH COLUMBIA, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The forty-ninth annual communication was held in Nelson, B. C, on Thursday, June 17, 1920. The opening ceremonies were brief, after which the grand master, Samuel J. Willis, presented his annual report. He opened by paying tributes of respect to the dead of his own and other juris- dictions. He made thirteen rulings, most of them related to physical imperfec- tions. One was to the effect that the Order of the Eastern Star may not be allowed to meet in a Masonic Hall which has been dedicated. He also decided that the use of the word ' ' Masonic ' ' in connection with a social club was not permissible. The report of the grand master is very short. He chronicles his vis- itations to various lodges of his jurisdiction and announces a debt of gratitude to the district deputy grand masters. The grand treasurer 's report shows the grand lodge to be in good con- dition financially. The grand secretary makes a detailed report in which he considers various financial and other matters which are usually incorpo- rated in the report of the grand master. British Columbia has enjoyed a year of prosperity and shows a very substantial increase for the year. The proceedings indicate a very conservative condition of Masonry in this juris- 18 Appendix — Part I diction, 715 being raised to the degree of Master Mason, 253 were re- jected. The proceedings in general do not show anything out of the ordinary to have been transacted. The principal business was routine and consists in the main of the reports of committees and the transaction of such mat- ters as usually claim the attention of a grand body. The report on Foreign Correspondence is prepared by W. A. DeWolf- Smith who gives Illinois six pages of very generous consideration. He is very kind to Grand Master Daniel G. Fitzgerrell and quotes liberally from his report to the grand lodge. He finds no fault with anything in the re- port of Brother Fitzgerrell nor does he criticize any of the actions of our grand lodge. He pays a high tribute to the reviews which have accom- panied the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, stating that he be- came reviewer for British Columbia at the same time that Dr. Joseph Eobbins assumed the pen for Illinois. Brother Smith presents a most ex- cellent resume of the various transactions of the Masonic world and is a reviewer of merit. M. L. Grimmett, G.M., Merritt. Dr. W. A. DeWolf-Smith, G.S., New Westminster. CALIFORNIA, F. & A. M. 1919 The annual communication was held in the city of San Francisco on Tuesday, October 14, 1919, and was the seventieth. The grand lodge lost no time in getting down to business and the first thing done was to listen to the annual address of Bradford Webster, grand master. He opens Kke most grand masters with expressions of relief at the termination of the war and warns the craft concerning the great responsibility which now rests upon it. The grand master attended the London Peace Conference and gives a detailed report to his grand lodge of everything that transpired. The grand master took with him to England a very beautiful trowel, which, at an appropriate time was presented to the Grand Lodge of England. The trowel itself was a work of art and purely a California product. One thing the grand master emphasizes is the great liberality shown by our English cousins in the matter of their benevolences. The voluntary yearly donation of English Masons for charitable purposes is given at $985,000. Masonic Correspondence 19 Brother Webster has considerable to say concerning the matter of Masonic Homes and makes reference to the plans which have been fol- lowed in the various grand jurisdictions. He declined to lay corner- stones of churches, declaring such functions to be denominational or sectarian in character. Some very pertinent matters are taken up and discussed by the grand master and he is to be admired for his courage in presenting these subjects to his grand lodge. He thinks that the time for foreign speak- ing lodges is past and that we should require all lodges to work in the English language. He believes that some latitude should be allowed in the matter of physical qualifications and likes the Iowa plan recently adopted very much. It appears that the Grand Lodge of California does not permit its lodges to spend its funds either for jewels or floral offerings, while the grand lodge exercises considerable freedom in that respect. He recom- mended that the laws be modified so that the lodges of the state might enjoy the same freedom that the grand lodge exercised in these matters. He likes the small lodge and says that from observance he is con- vinced that in the large lodges there is a spirit of formality and coldness which is lacking in the smaller organizations. California profited from the Masonic boom which has been sweep- ing our country. The increase in membership in the jurisdiction has been highly satisfactory to all concerned. He closes his address by urging lodges to devote more time to the social features by maintaining club rooms and holding social and educa- tional assemblies. The grand treasurer reports receipts of $77,000 and disbursements for actual grand lodge maintenance of $60,814. The report of the grand secretary is quite a complete document and records much of the detailed matter which often appears in the grand master's address. From his report it is learned that California has 67,890 Masons. The grand lodge stopped long enough on the afternoon of the first day to observe memorial services for deceased members of the fraternity. There was organ and vocal music, together with appropriate addresses. The Masonic Employment Bureau received applications from 2,256 persons desiring employment and was able to place 1,746. The average cost per position secured was 86 cents. Surely the grand lodge could not engage in a more laudable enterprise than has been reported. 20 Appendix — Part I From the reports which are made by the various relief associations of California it is believed that our brethren of that jurisdiction are overburdened in the matter of caring for Masons and their families from other jurisdictions who flock to California expecting to find health, recreation and lucrative employment and who are very often disap- pointed and soon use up their funds and are compelled to turn to Ma- sonic lodges for assistance. So far as is observed our brethren from California are making no complaint and are carrying their burden with great fortitude. Quite a long report is given from the Masonic Home Board which indicates that the Grand Lodge of California is doing its full duty in taking care of its own. The annual oration was delivered by Charles H. Victor. The sub- ject is not given but it related to the war and he said many very help- ful things in the course of his remarks. California pays considerable attention to Masonic education and is doing everything in its power to bring to the craft in that state a better understanding of Masonic organization, origin and purpose. A special committee on physical qualifications made a report, con- curring in the ideas of the grand master relating to leniency in the mat- ter of initiating those possessing defects, but declined to make any hard and fast rule, believing that the subject should be left to the good wisdom of those in charge of the Masonic affairs of the state. It appears that a demand for a shorter ritual has arisen among the lodges of the state and the grand lecturer recommended that the subject be left to the Eitual Committee with directions to shorten the work pro- vided it could be done without loss of dignity or effectiveness. It will now be in order for some of the dyed in the wool ritualists who believed that Old King Solomon wrote the ritual which we now use to kick up an awful fuss over the action of our California brethren. The review which is presented at the close of the report is pre- pared by Jesse M. Whited and is topically considered. It is noticed that several quotations are taken from the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Illinois. It is however, a very difficult matter to consider a topical review without extending this article to such a length that the Finance Committee would call the writer upon the carpet and ask why the injunction as to brevity was not observed. Charles A. Adams, G.M., San Francisco. John Whicher, G.S., San Francisco. Masonic Correspondence 21 CANADA, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The sixty-fourth annual communication of the grand lodge of Canada was held in the city of Toronto on July 16th, 1919. The grand representa- tive of Illinois, A. Shaw, is credited as being present. The grand master was not able to attend the meeting on account of illness and a telegram of regret was sent to him because of his enforced absence. There was an address of welcome by the Mayor of Toronto which was properly responded to after which the grand lodge was opened and proceeded with the business of the session. The address of the grand master which had been prepared was read to the giand lodge. It is a document of unusual care and opens with thanks to the Almighty for the termination of what is characterized as the most cruel war in history. The grand master reports the usual number of jurisdictional courtesies and gives the total receipts of the grand lodge as $107,000, while the ex- penditures were about $103,000. The report on benevolences is interesting because it shows that our Canadian brethren are not unmindful of those who are not able to care for themselves. Tlie number of lodges now on the register is 468, 13 of which are under dispensation. The Peace Celebration held by the Grand Lodge of England is re- ported in detail and it is needless to say that our Canadian brethren were well represented on this most auspicious occasion. The grand master complains about the large number of unnecessary questions which were sent to him for decision, many of which could have been answered by reference to the book of constitutions. He also com- plained because men seeking public offices have addressed letters to breth- ren of the Craft asking for support simply because they were Masons. He also states that in a number of lodges the practice has grown up for the Committee on Petitions to receive and dispose of applications for membership before they were ever presented to the lodge. Quite a number of decisions are reported but most of them deal with purely local matters. Fifty visitations were made to local lodges at which every possible courtesy was extended to the grand master. 22 Appendix — Part I Tho grand secretary's report is very complete and leaves no doubt as to the source of his receipts and the way and manner in which they were expended. He records a large amount of the detail matter which in many jurisdictions is handled by the grand master. Amendments to by-laws recorded is an extremely long one showing that our Canadian brethren must have been quite energetic during the year in modifying and fixing up their laws. The list of dispensations presented is one of unusual length. Most of them were to attend divine services and for practices which were not in accordance with the established rules of the grand lodge. It would be very interesting to make some quotations from the reports of the district deputy grand masters which are printed as a part of the proceedings. They are extremely long and go much into detail, but in them are some very valuable suggestions which the grand lodge should profit from. One of the most interesting reports in the proceedings is from the Board appointed on the condition of Masonry. The statement is made in this report that many lodges are suffering from congestion In the scramble for minute-made Masons. The writer would be very pleased to make some quotations from this report but is forbidden because of lack of allotted space. One thing this committee does is to take the reports of the district deputy grand masters and to glean therefrom the most important items and to present them to the gi-and lodge in such shape as they may readily be grasped and profited from. The principal business transacted was of the usual character and re- lated to reports of committees and the discharge of such matters as ap- peared to claim immediate attention. The report on Foreign Correspondence is prepared by A, T. Freed. Illinois for 1918 is given two and one-half pages of very fair and com- prehensive consideration. There is nothing in the report which would indi- cate that the reviewer was displeased with any of the transactions of our grand lodge. The review on foreign correspondence as prepared by this writer is given careful consideration and while Brother Freed does not agree with the ideas as expressed concerning the "dispensation habit," he heartily agrees with all that was said upon the subject of physical quali- fications. The report upon the whole is fair and impartial and shows a spirit of generosity. Fred W. Harcourt, G.M., Toronto. W. M. Logan, G.S., Hamilton. Masonic Correspondence 23 COLORADO, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The annual communication held October 7 and 8, 1919, in the city of Denver was of more than passing interest. In the introductory cere- monies the roll of deceased grand masters was called, after which the American flag was presented and duly received. The roll call of representa- tives was made and Illinois responded to by William W. Cooper. The address of the grand master, Clarence M. Kellogg, was a document which should have interested the Masons of Colorado. In his opening re- marks he refers to the lessons which should be drawn from the great war and he has considerable to say about the ancient landmarks and urges Masons to uphold their teachings. The grand master made an unusual number of official visitations and clearly shows that he was willing to devote freely of his time to the atten- tion of the lodges of his jurisdiction. His list of dispensations granted is especially long. There were none of them for purposes which could be construed as extraordinary. He refers to the general condition of the craft in Colorado as being one of unusual prosperity and states that a number of the lodges secured new and more desirable quarters and upon the whole the craft in that state prospered beyond the most sanguine expectations. Four corner-stone ceremonies were observed during the administra- tion, all of them being for school buildings, with one exception. Two new lodges were formed during the year. The grand master showed his good judgment by submitting no de- cisions and stating that out of every question submitted to him there were no conditions arose which could not be properly taken care of by referring to the established laws of the jurisdiction. The question of uniting with the George Washington Masonic Memorial Association was presented and left to the wisdom of the grand lodge. The grand master expreseed the great pleasure which he had in par- ticipating in the meeting of the United Grand Lodge of England on Friday, June 27, 1919. The Masonic Service Association of the United States receives favor- able mention and the question of joining in its efforts is left with a spe- cial committee to investigate and report. One thing which the grand master did and for which he is to be com- mended is to be found in his action interdicting the Mystic Order of Veiled 24 Appendix — Part I Prophets of the Euchanted Kealin, In his edict he included the Grotto and admonished all Master Masons not to support or become members of these organizations until such time as the grand lodge could take action thereon. Mention is made of the excellent work which is being accomplished at the United States General Hospital No. 21 Keorganization Camp. It ap- pears that this most excellent relief work is receiving valuable assistance from the Masons of the state. The grand treasurer reports total receipts of the year to be $24,151 and expenditures $21,753. The grand secretary presents a detailed report covering the many matters which passed through his office during the year. One thousand three hundred and fifty-one good and true men were raised to the sublime degree of Master Masons, giving the state a total mem- bership of 21,257. Colorado administers Masonic relief through what is called the Ma- sonic Benevolent Association. A complete and detailed report is sub- mitted as a part of the proceedings, showing that nine indigent Master Masons, 13 widows and 16 children, a total of 38 persons, received assis- tance. From the figures submitted it is apparent that the grand lodge has ample funds for carrying forward this most excellent enterprise. The report of the grand lecturer is of more than passing interest and shows that he not only visited and instructed lodges, but at the same time inspected their general condition. He submits an array of statistics and details which should leave the grand lodge no doubt as to just what the condition of the subordinate lodges of the state may be. Concerning the recognition of the Grand Lodge of France, a long re- port is submitted in which the subject is gone into in detail. The com- mittee made no recommendation and simply left the subject for the grand lodge to decide. On the afternoon of the first day's session a very excellent oration was delivered by Edward P. Huflferd on the Universality of Masonry. The brethren present in grand lodge should have profited from the very helpful things which the grand officer said in his message. The grand lecturer was awarded an increase in salary of $1200 which ought to make that official happy and help him to overcome the high cost of living. The question of a universal Masonic emblem reached the Grand Lodge of Colorado, but the committee on that subject recommended that no action be taken. The election and installation of officers and the presentation of the customary jewel closed the session. Masonic Correspondence 25 The report on foreign corre::ponclenee is prepared by Stanley S. War- ner. It is concise and directly to the point. Illinois is given two pages of consideration and some very liberal quotations are made without com- ment of any kind. Frank L. Bishop, G.M., Denver. Charles H. Jacobson, G.S., Denver. DELAWARE, A. F. & A. M. 1918 The annual communication, one hundred and thirteenth, was held in the City of Wilmington, on October 2 and 3. Delaware seems to be a little slow in getting out its proceedings as the book under review has only recently reached the desk of the writer. One of the first things the grand lodge did was to sing the Star Spangled Banner. A very appropriate procedure. The address of the grand master, George B. Hynson, is short and to the point. He opens by referring to the relation which Freemasonry bears to the government of the country. He visited nineteen lodges and issued the usual number of dispensa- tions. He speaks of the Masonic Home as a visible evidence of Masonic benevolence and brotherhood and says it stands as a monument to the faith that is in us. He believes in displaying the flag in every Masonic lodge and em- phasizes the necessity for uniform work. The grand lodge has recently employed an instructor to exemplify the work throughout the jurisdiction and all lodges are urged and instructed to correct all minor defects and as rapidly as possible acquire a uniform standard. He seems to think that many of the brethren throughout the juris- diction who have advanced to other Masonic bodies have lost their in- terest in the lodge and are depending upon their new affiliation for Ma- sonic light, inspiration and fellowship. He urges a return to the lodge and expresses the hope that brethren will take a deep interest in its affairs. Some trouble was experienced with the black ball and while admitting the right of any brother to cast a black ball, the grand master states that whoever exercises it for personal reasons betrays his trust and violates his obligations. He speaks of toleration and urges the craft to avoid all sectarian controversy. He concludes his address by observing that Masonry is not 26 Appendix — Part I an end, but a means, and that the symbols of the fraternity are meaning- less until they are translated. The grand treasurer shows total receipts of $8,408 and expenditures of a like amount. The cost of operating the grand lodge was $3,247, the balance of the money being appropriated for the maintenance of the Home. According to the report the grand secretary draws a salary of $300 per year. The Jurisprudence Committee found favor with everything that the grand master did and backed him up in all his decisions and recom- mendations. The election and installation of officers closed the session. There is no review on foreign correspondence, the space being given over to the publication of the officers and members of the lodges in the State of Delaware. A, Victor Hughes, G.M., Wilmington. Harry J. Guthrie, G.S., Wilmington, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, F. A. A. M. 1919 The report under review is the one hundred and ninth. The annual communication was held on the 17th day of December, 1919, in the Masonic Temple at Washington. The first business of importance was the presentation of the address of the grand master, Joseph H. Milans. He has considerable to say about reconstruction and refers to the part which the Masonic Fraternity has to perform in this great work. He made a large number of visitations and states that on these occasions he was received in a very kind and courteous manner. He states that he has not been at all liberal in the matter of issuing dispensations and has discontinued the practice of granting consent for lodges to meet on Saturday afternoon and evening to confer degrees. He states that the only matter of dispensation toward w^hich he has been disposed to be generous is that of conferring degrees on more than the constitutional number. He says that he found the work of the lodges of the jurisdiction was so severely congested that it was necessary to remedy this state of affairs by being liberal in the matter of granting dispensations to group work. Masonic Correspondence 27 A large number of cases are reported in detail which came up to the grand master and upon which he made various interpretations. They are so extensive that it is impossible to go into any review of the merits or demerits in this article. He issued a document to the lodges of the state during the term of his oflfice concerning the matter of petitioners for degrees and in this he gave some very excellent advice as to the way and manner in which committees should look up petitioners and of the report which should be made to the master. He also issued a document on the matter of balloting, in which he reiterated the law of the jurisdiction and called attention to the fact that lodges can not ballot as many times as they like on a petitioner who has received a black ball, but that they must adhere to the law as laid down in the statute books of the grand lodge. He decided that blindness is an insuperable obstacle to the admis- sion of a petitioner and advised the lodges of the fact that it was illegal to initiate a candidate who was thus physically disabled. He had considerable to say concerning the use of Masonic terms in advertisements and characterized such as a Masonic offense meriting just discipline. The Masonic Relief Association of the United States and Canada is generously commended and reference is made to the Masonic Employ- ment Bureau of Washington, D. C, which has been taken over and is now financed by the grand lodge. He emphasized the need of a Masonic Temple in Washington that will amply take care of the lodges of the jurisdiction. One thing the grand master is to be commended for is the fact that he is disposed to be liberal and not narrow in his view of present day Masonic needs. He recommends that where a number of petitions are to be balloted on in one evening that a collective test ballot be taken which if resulting favorable there need be no necessity for passing the ballot singly and individually on each petitioner. The writer has long favored this plan because he believes that the time has come when Masonic conditions have radically changed from what they were fifty years or even twenty-five years ago and that these should be met with a much more liberal procedure than has been heretofore observed. The Masonic Service Association is reported in detail and the District of Columbia has already joined the enterprise. The grand master had the pleasure of attending the peace conference held in London and he reports to his grand lodge concerning that very interesting event. 28 Appendix — Part I The grand lecturer reports that he visited and instructed twenty- nine lodges of the jurisdiction. In his detail he states that he opened an Actual Past Master's Lodge and conferred that degree on those brethren who had been elected to preside over their respective lodges and who were entitled and required by law to receive the same prior to their installation. It is rather a surprise that the District of Columbia being progressive in so many other matters should adhere to this relic of by-gone days. It is noticeable from, the report of the Committee on Finance that it cost the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia the sum of $1,840 to send its representatives to the London Peace Conference. The Masonic Temple in Washington, D. C, appears to be well managed and while the report does not show any substantial profit from the building yet there is no evidence of any financial loss. The Masonic Employment Bureau handled 548 requests for employ- ment and was able to place in remunerative positions 473 of the number who applied for help. A St. John's Day celebration was held on December 27, 1919. The business transacted at this meeting appears to have been the completion of matters deferred from the annual meeting. The grand master was presented with a grandfather's clock and a resolution was adopted fa- voring the establishment of a distinctly American university to be located in Washington, D. C. At this St. John's Day meeting the officers were elected and installed and the retiring grand master presented with a jewel. The report on foreign correspondence is written by George W. Baird and is a document which while brief is none the less interesting. Illinois is considered in three pages of matter and our principal acts are mentioned without criticism. I want to thank Brother Baird for his dissertation upon the first name of the writer, "del Mar." It is always curious to know where parents pick up names and what may have inspired the combination of syllables which result in the names which are attached to individuals. His dissertation is interesting and the paragraph will be clipped out and very carefully treasured for the benefit of future generations. Brother Baird is a believer in the universality of Freemasonry and expresses the hope that differences now existing between jurisdictions which he characterizes as small and highly exaggerated may soon be cancelled and that we may come to a general understanding and secure coordinated effort, to all of which this writer says "Amen." J. Harry Cunningham, G.M., Washington, D. C. Arvine W. Johnston, G.S., Washington, D. C. Masonic Correspondence 29 FLORIDA, F. & A. M. 1920 Florida is getting well up among the ancients for the annual com- munication which was held Tuesday, January 20, was the ninety-first. T. Picton Warlow, grand master, in the opening remarks of his address to the grand lodge refers to the chaotic condition of affairs generally and points out the mission which Masonry has to perform in setting things to rights. A complete list of dispensations issued is reported by the grand master. He kept within due bounds and did not allow his power in this respect to be imposed upon. He made a few decisions but for the most part they are merely interpretations of the construction of local law. He states that he attended the meeting of the George Washington Memorial Association and recommends that organization very highly. Three new lodges were organized during the year and the Masonic Home and Orphanage at St. Petersburg duly dedicated. The Masonic Service Association is endorsed and a recommendation made that the grand lodge join the same and pay its per capita tax. The deputy grand master makes a report covering certain acts which he performed during the absence of the grand master from the state. He chronicles a number of decisions which he made and the question nat- urally arises as to how far it is possible to have two grand masters serving during the same year and avoid that conflict of opinion which so often arises. The report of the deputy grand master is full and com- plete and shows that he exercised all the functions of a grand master and seems to have gotten by without any serious trouble. The report of the grand secretary covers numerous details connected with his office. His receipts were $31,506, while the grand treasurer shows expenditures of $25,669. The grand lodge evidently operates a Masonic Temple as there is quite a report from the trustees of the Masonic Temple wherein is set forth the various receipts and expendi- tures which were incurred during the year. The report of the Committee on the Masonic Home and Orphanage is quite interesting. It is only recently that the State of Florida has entered the field of institutional charity. It is apparent that there are sufficient funds forthcoming to carry forward this work in a way and manner to reflect great credit upon our brethren in the state of oranges and grapefruit. 30 Appendix — Part I Florida maintains a well organized society for Masonic instruction as is deduced from the report of the Committee on Work. The proceedings do not show that anything startling or out of the ordinary was transacted at the session which is under review. The grand lodge appears to have been well satisfied to transact routine mat- ters and not to stir up anything new or novel. The closing pages of the proceedings give a long list of brethren who were installed and received the past master's degree. It is apparent that Florida still adheres to a custom which was in vogue many years ago when every newly elected master was required to receive the past master's degree before entering upon the duties of his office. The review is written by Silas B. Wright. He is very kind to Illinois and itemizes the various transactions of our session of 1919 and quotes briefly from the annual address of the grand master, Daniel G. Fitzgerrell. He seems to think that Brother Fitzgerrell works himself into a passion and is disposed to split hairs over the question of jurisdiction. Brother Wright says his sympathy is with the soldiers and sailors and that he is very glad that an opportunity was offered them to receive their degrees in the sea and field lodges. Brother Wright has been very generous to ye reviewer and has taken some very liberal quotations from the report under 1919. He quotes what was said concerning the disposition to introduce sectarian questions into Freemasonry but states that he does not altogether agree with the writer. In all that Brother Wright said he was courteous and kind, and shows no disposition whatsoever to pick a quarrel with his neighbors. Eeginald H. Cooper, G.M., Palatka. Wilber P. Webster, G.S., Jacksonville. GEORGIA, F. & A. M. 1919 The Grand Lodge of Georgia meets in October, the one hundred thirty-third annual communication being held in the City of Macon on the 28th and 29th of that month in the year 1919. The record of grand representatives shows that Joseph Gregg representing Illinois was present. The first item of interest was an invitation to visit the Masonic Home at Macon. The grand secretary informed the grand lodge that special street cars had been provided to take the representatives at such times during the session as they might desire to visit that institution. Masonic Correspondence 31 The address of the grand master, Kobert B. Travis, is a document of some thirty-five pages. He speaks in the beginning of some disorgan- ization among the fraternity of the state by reason of the epidemic of influenza which broke out, but states that conditions have been over- come and that the usual Masonic activities were resumed. The George Washington Memorial Association is reviewed and the craft are urged to take an interest in this great monument to Free- masonry for reasons which are apparent to many members of the fra- ternity. The meeting in London is mentioned and Georgia was represented in a befitting manner. A full report is given of the various items of social interest that were transacted. The Masonic Service Association of the United States is fully en- dorsed, Georgia being one of the first jurisdictions to adopt the consti- tution of this association. Mention is made of an endowment fund for the maintenance of the Masonic Home and the craft are urged to get behind this enterprise and make it so substantial that the perpetuity and good work of the Masonic Home will be insured for all time. The grand master did not issue very many dispensations as he did not find favor with the demand that is constantly being made for op- portunities to avoid the law. The grand master calls up the abuse of unaffiliated Masons not de- positing their dimits with lodges and still participating in the affairs of the society, stating that some law should be adopted rendering a dimit void after a specific length of time unless the holder thereof makes application for admittance to some lodge. The grand master made a large number of visitations and laid corner- stones for several buildings of public character. Three dispensations for the formation of new lodges were issued. He says some splendid things concerning Masonic offenses and re- minds the craft that it is the duty of every Mason to stretch forth a hand to raire a fallen brother and that too often the craft are remiss in the duty of whispering counsel in the ear of an erring member of the fraternity. He seems to think that many wayward brothers would be put on the right track if their Masonic brethren put forth the proper effort to correct them. A number of opinions were rendered by the grand master. One was that it was perfectly proper to procure information concerning peti- tioners for the degrees from credit associations. He decided that a can- didate who could not articulate his words with sufficient distinctness 32 Appendix — Part I to make his meaning clear was ineligible to receive the degrees. He also decided that a lodge had the right to try a brother for moral turpitude which had been committed prior to the time when he was made a Mason. He made this decision upon the ground that every applicant for the de- grees was required to represent in writing that he knew of no physical or moral reason which would prevent him from, becoming a Freemason, The deputy grand master who served during the time the grand master was in England makes a report of such actions as he performed during the time he had charge of the grand lodge. The report of the grand secretary shows that the State of Georgia experienced a most substantial increase in membership during the year, 6,684 being raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Masons, giving a membership at the present time of 55,019. A special report on French Masonry by Raymond Daniel of the Committee on Correspondence was presented. He goes much into detail and reaches the conclusion that the recognition of French Masonry as it is now constituted would be a surrender of the very principles to which Georgia Freemasonry holds and for which Georgia Freemasonry stands. A complete resume of the Masonic Service Association is given in the proceedings. The grand lodge is apparently working on the ques- tion of the dissemination of Masonic knowledge as a report is presented wherein there is set forth the methods pursued in various states for this purpose. From the report of the Committee on Finance it is apparent that the Grand Lodge of Georgia is not wanting in funds to carry forward its work for the figures given show substantial sums in the various funds which the grand lodge maintains. It cost $19,220.03 to maintain the Masonic Home for the year which just closed. In addition the grand lodge furnished funds for the relief of members of a number of lodges who were not able to take care of their dependent members from their treasuries. No further business of vital importance appears to have been trans- acted. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Raymond Daniel and Illinois is given five and one-half pages of liberal con- sideration. Many quotations are taken from the address to the grand lodge made by Austin H. Scrogin and the principal transactions of the grand lodge are mentioned without criticism or comment. The cor- respondence report prepared by this writer receives extended review and comment. Quotations taken are liberal and the comments thereon are fraternal and kindly, notwithstanding the fact that he does not agree in some instances with all that was said. Charles L. Bass, G.M., Atlanta. Frank F. Baker, G.S., Macon. Masonic Correspondence 33 IDAHO, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The city of Burley entertained the fifty-second annual communica- tion of the grand lodge which convened on Tuesday, the 9th day of September, 1919. The opening ceremonies were quite brief. The deputy grand master announced the death of the grand master, Andrew Louns- bury and assumed charge of the grand lodge. The annual report of the deceased grand master was read to the grand lodge and referred to the usual Committee on Distribution. The deputy grand master made a very brief report in which he referred to the death of the grand master and recited such acts as he had performed during the short time that he had filled the office. The report of the grand treasurer gives total receipts of $38,223 and expenditures of $28,232, showing that the grand lodge is keeping within due bounds and operating at a very substantial profit. The grand secretary, George E. Knepper, submits a detailed report. The items which he recites refer mainly to routine affairs in his office. One thing the grand lodge did was to adopt a resolution abolishing the custom of printing the address of the grand master, as well as the reports of the grand treasurer, grand secretary and Committee on Cor- respondence in advance of the regular proceedings. It is presumed that this action was taken in order to cut down the printing expense which has been constantly mounting during the past two or three years. A special committee which had in charge the consideration of the Iowa Masonic Service Association made a report recommending that membership be taken in that society and fully endorsing its principles. On the evening of the second day the grand lodge assembled at 8:30 P.M. to listen to what is called an extemporaneous oration which was delivered by the grand lecturer, Wilbert H. Tyer. The oration does not read like an extemporaneous effort. The fact of the matter is that there are very few extemporaneous addresses of any kind made at the present time, however much claim may be made in that direction. From the report of the grand lecturer it is apparent that newly elected masters must possess certificates of proficiency before being in- stalled into their respective places. The grand lecturer says that his visits to lodges convinced him that there is a lack of discipline, pro- ficiency and accuracy. He says that there is too much work and not enough study. This is a condition which is not confined alone to the State of Idaho but is apparent in a good many other grand jurisdictions. 34 Appendix — Part I The State of Idaho had a very substantial increase in membership during the year and shows a net gain of 357. There are sixty-six lodges in the state claiming on their rolls 5,717 Master Masons. The election and installation of officers, together with the presenta- tion of the signet ring, closed the session. George E. Knepper writes the report on foreign correspondence. He is very generous to Illinois, giving it four pages of consideration and quotes liberally from the address of Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin as presented in 1918. He does not seem to find any fault with anything that the grand master said or did and confines himself to briefly men- tioning the principal acts of his office. He is very generous to the Illinois correspondent and says some very complimentary things. Con- cerning the criticism which was made about the action of Idaho in pro- hibiting anyone from filling the master's chair before he became a war- den, the following comment is made: "Brother Darrah seriously objects to the provision of the grand lodge that no one can occupy the master's chair until he has become a warden. He thinks the provision is simply to build up an aristocracy of workers and to discourage many competent and worthy brethren from learning the work. But Idaho permits these neophites to wobble around in eleven different chairs and has only placed the ban on one. It only says to these ambitioiis youngsters, ' Tarry at Jericho till your beards be grown.' " Arch Cunningham, G.M., Boise. Geo. E. Knepper, G.S., Boise. INDIANA, F. & A. M. 1920 The ninety-ninth annual meeting held in the city of Indianapolis on May 25 and 26 was called the Centennial Celebration. This year the grand lodge had as its guests the secretaries of the various lodges and every effort was made to properly entertain them in a manner becoming their station and importance in the work of the craft. Preliminary to the opening ceremonies the grand lodge listened to a pro- gram of music and addresses. As soon as the entertainment was over the secretaries were given luncheon and taken on a special train to visit the Indiana Masonic Home at Franklin. In the evening they were given a Masonic Correspondence 35 minstrel performance and on the following forenoon held a social session and discussed various matters appertaining to their offices in the lodge. The Credentials Committee does not report the presence of the repre- sentative of the Grand Lodge of Illinois. The first business of importance was the address of the grand master, Charles J. Orbison. He refers to the tremendous gain in membership during the year, nearly 13,000 having been raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason, giving the state a net gain of 10,022. He suggests that one of the great problems before the lodges of Indiana is to properly assimilate these new members and cause them to understand what Free- masonry means and the part they have in its work. He urges Masons to study the fundamentals of the society. While he approves of the so-called higher degrees, he expresses the thought that the lodge should not be made a stepping-stone to those who desire affilia- tion with other Masonic bodies. The George Washington National Masonic Memorial Association is fully endorsed and the Masons of Indiana urged to make a per capita contribution toward helping that enterprise along. The grand master reports but one so-called decision, showing that he found the law sufficient within itself. One good thing the grand master did was to attempt to settle such differences as arose in the lodges of the state without undue publicity. Three dispensations for the formation of new lodges were issued. A word of commendation is given in reference to the work of the grand secretary, Calvin W, Prather, and recommendation made that his salary be fixed at $2,500 per annum. It appears from the report that the Grand Lodge of Indiana is en- gaged in writing a history of itself, the work being assigned to two very competent brethren. The grand master recommends that the salary of the grand instructor be made $3,500 per year. One lodge receives the commendation of the grand master because it presents a Bible to each newly raised Master Mason and the custom is recommended to the other lodges of the state as a pleasing and help- ful one. Investigating committees received some attention in the grand mas- ter's report because of the very lax methods used in looking up appli- cants for the degrees. This year a good many grand masters have had something to say upon this subject. No doubt much of the trouble arises from the large number of petitions which are being continually received and the fact that lodge officers and committees are overworked. 36 Appendix — Part I The Masonic Service Association receives mention by the grand master and the general scope of the organization is commended, but the grand master is of the opinion that the association under its present constitu- tion seeks to assume prerogatives which are dangerous and have a tendency to destroy the sovereignty of the individual grand lodges. He expresses the hope that the association may soon revise its plan so that the Grand Lodge of Indiana may become a member without surrendering any of its inherent rights. The grand master had the pleasure of dedicating six Masonic temples during the year, an evidence of the substantial prosperity among the lodges. The total receipts for the year as reported by the grand treasurer were $97,178 and the expenditures $89,811. The grand secretary, Calvin W. Prather, presents a report which is complete in every detail. He gives the total membership as 98,170. The report of the Board of Managers of the Masonic Home is inter- esting but too long to receive any attention in this article. Indiana has only recently engaged in the Masonic Home business, but it is handling the matter in a way and manner that insures the complete success of the enter- prise. One hundred eighty-one were enrolled in the Home during the year under review. The report shows that it cost $53,134 to operate the insti- tution, or a per capita expense of $300. From the report of the grand lecturer the idea is gained that the lodges have been advancing both their fees for degrees and their annual dues. It is noticeable that one lodge fixes its annual dues at $30. There may be some special reason for this, but to the average Mason it would appear to be prohibitive. A questionnaire was submitted by the grand secretary with a resolu- tion that lodges be required to adopt the same and when fully answered be filed with the petition. The Jurisprudence Committee approved and here- after investigating committees in Indiana will have a basis upon which to work. The masters of lodges in attendance at the gi-and lodge were taken on a trip to the Masonic Home. The remainder of the business transacted was principally routine and was devoted to the reports of the several committees. A surprise came to the Grand Lodge during the closing hours in the way of a gift of $21,000 to the Indiana Masonic Home from Murat Temple, Order of the Mystic Shrine. The election, installation and presentation of the jewel closed a ses- sion which will long be remembered by those Masons of Indiana who were fortunate enough to be present. Masonic Correspondence 37 Elmer P. Gay prepares the report on foreign correspondence. It is short and to the point. Illinois receives one and one-half pages of review in which there is no fault found with any of our transactions. Eichard H. Schweitzer, G.M, Note. — Since this article was written news has been received of the death of Calvin W, Prather, for many years grand secretary. The writer feels the loss of a true friend and brother. IOWA, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The book of proceedings which is sent out by this most excellent grand lodge is voluminous and interesting and is a splendid example of good typography. The communication under review is the seventy-seventh and it did not take the grand lodge very long to get down to actual business. The report of the grand master, William A. Westfall, is a document which is not only well written but is interesting. It is not overly long and many irrelevant details of his office have been omitted from the main por- tion of his report, a practice which this writer very heartily commends. Like all grand masters he opens his address by reference to the unsettled conditions of the country and calls attention to the fact that MasOnry has a mission to perform. Iowa like many other jurisdictions was carried along on the great wave of prosperity which swept the country, 6277 were raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason, while there is shown a net gain in membership of 4,874. The grand master says that the Masonic standard is high and demands a man who is a perfect ashlar to maintain it. He states that he had many requests to grant dispensations but has denied a good many for reasons which to him seemed to be for the best good of the order. During the year corner stones were laid for a Masonic Temple, a gymnasium, a Community building and a school edifice, a rather happy combination of architectural endeavor. Brother Westfall does not believe that subordinate lodges of Iowa should make a charge when they confer degrees for other grand jurisdic- tions. He calls attention to the fact that some lodges of his jurisdiction have done this and he states that to him the practice is entirely wrong. Among the visitations reported is one relating to attendance at the annual communication of the gi-and Lodge of Illinois which was held Octo- 38 Appendix — Part I ber 15, 1919. Grand Master Westfall says that he has not words to ex- press the kind and courteous reception tendered him by Grand Master Fitz- gerrell and the brethren of Illinois. He believes in these inter-visitations and hopes that they may be kept up and continued. Concerning the system of district deputy grand masters the grand master places himself on record as heartily endorsing the practice and he expresses the hope that not only may some scheme be devised for providing for these various officials but that schools of instruction may be inaugurated whereby they may receive proper assistance in mastering the work and a knowledge of the law. Eight decisions are reported out of hundreds of questions of law which were submitted. None of these decisions are out of the ordinary and relate purely to local conditions. A long report is made on the charity work of the Grand Lodge of Iowa. This grand lodge does not believe in institutional charity but is liberal in taking cai'e of those needing assistance and does it in a very economical manner and with apparently very little friction. TTie Masonic Service Association receives hearty endorsement, as well as the Masonic study efforts which are being put forth by the Grand Lodge of Iowa. One thing which the grand master reports which is interesting and that is that out of 6,277 members initiated during the year only 35 candidates had to use artificial parts or limbs. The closing remarks of the grand master are beautiful and it is a matter of regret that space docs not permit their reproduction here. The proceedings report the presence of the grand commander of Knights Templar of the state of Iowa, John K. Elwell, and his reception by the officers and members present. The grand secretary's report by Newton E. Parvin is always a very interesting document. Brother Parvin is naturally very proud of the library of the Grand Lodge of Iowa and he has just cause to be for the reason it was very largely through his efforts that so much has been accomplished along this line. Much of the detail of the year is reported by him. In his statistical table he gives the total membership as 67,346 and the re- ceipts from all sources $101,831. The Committee on the Grand Master's Address is an unusually inter- esting document because they not only take up the various matters pre- sented by the grand master but likewise discuss same in a manner which is highly interesting. The report on Masonic research which appears in the proceedings indi- cates activity along that line and shows that the grand lodge is accom- Masonic Correspondence 39 plishing a great deal not only for the brethren of Iowa but likewise for those from other states. Much of the business transacted at this session appeais to have been largely routine. The proceedings do not disclose anything of unusual char- acter. The report on the English Peace Jubilee is not only interesting but is accompanied by illustrations which make very good reading for the Mason who likes to be well informed upon all Masonic subjects. A most excellent report appears in the record on the subject of Large vs. Small Lodges. The committee makes no recommendation for drastic legislation upon this subject, believing that the question is one which must be left to the individual to work out in his own way and manner. The report on chartered lodges which appears is of more than passing interest because this committee takes up and deals with various subjects as they acquired same from their examination of books and records of the lodges of the state. A number of recommendations are made which ought to result in helping Masonry toward a better conception of the real purposes of the institution. The installation of officers and the presentation of the customary jewel closed this very interesting session. The report on Foreign Correspondence is by Louis Block one of the really genuine correspondents in that brilliant galaxy of writers who have graced the Round Talile from time immemorial. Illinois is most gener- ously treated. Seven pages are given to the consideration of the proceed- ings of 1919. Brother Block speaks of the portrait of Austin H. Scrogin which appeared in that book and refers to him as one of the finest, greatest, squarest, best hearted men that he ever knew. The various acts and trans- actions of the Grand Lodge of Illinois are taken up and discussed in a very generous spirit. Brother Block finds no particular fault with anything that was done at our session of 1919. He commends the oration of Edward J. Brundage as an excellent piece of work and takes some very liberal quota- tions therefrom. He is very generous to the Masonic correspondent of Illinois and quotes liberally from what was said upon the subject of physical qualifications as well as the need of coordination. Brother Block like this writer is thinking along lines which are perhaps a little more progressive and generous than the average Mason likes to consider, but regardless of all that the time will come when Masonry will assume a more liberal atti- tude not only in relation to its own fundamentals but to those great forces with which it is so intimately associated in the work of the world. Jesse Alden West, G.M., Des Moines. Newton R. Parvin, G.S., Cedar Rapids. 40 Appendix — Part I KANSAS, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The city of Topeka had the honor of entertaining the sixty-fourth an- nual communication of the Grand Lodge of Kansas. The sessions were held in the State Capitol, commencing Wednesday, the 17th day of March, 1920. The grand representatives were formally received during the opening ceremonies. . Robert Treat Payne is credited with representing the State of Illinois. The report of the Committee on Credentials shows that 119 lodges were represented at the time the report was made. No doubt some of the representatives came in later and were duly accredited. The grand master, Owen B. Wood, delivered an address to the grand lodge which was short but none the less interesting. It appears that it was necessary to postpone the annual communication due to an epidemic of influenza which prevailed in Kansas in the early part of the year. But one corner-stone was laid during the grand master's incumbency of office, that of a high school building. One Masonic hall was dedicated and one lodge constituted. Two new lodges received letters of dispensa- tion. The charter of one lodge was surrendered due to an inability to comply with the requirements of the fraternity. The grand master reports no decisions, stating that many questions have arisen during the year, but most of them have been answered by ref- erence to the established laws of the grand lodge. The condition of the fraternity in the State of Kansas is reported to be most gratifying and the increase in membership is given as 4,.370, so that the state has Master Masons to the number of 55,572. The Masonic Home is commended and the necessity of a substantial endowment fund is urged. It is noticeable that a number of the grand mas- ters have recognized the fact that if the charitable work of the fraternity is to be carried forward some provision must be made for the endowing of the various institutions in which the fraternity takes such a vital interest. The grand treasurer reports total receipts of $70,116.50 and disburse- ments of $72,014. The grand secretary, Albert K. Wilson, makes a report which is complete in detail. He goes into many matters which pertain to his office. It appears that the Grand Lodge of Kansas is preparing a history of the lodges of the state. Just what particular good a work of this sort is going to accomplish is a matter of conjecture. The writer has had con- siderable to do with the preparation and distribution of the history of Masonic Correspondence 41 grand bodies and while at first very enthusiastic on the subject, has reached the conclusion that the brethren are little interested in material of this sort. The grand secretary incorporates in his report a photograph of the new Home at Wichita which has been erected to replace the one destroyed by fire. The report of the Board of Managers of the Masonic Home is inter- esting and shows that they are administering the affairs of the institution in an economical manner and are deriving most excellent results. The oration delivered on the afternoon of the second day should have pleased the brethren because it is a document which appeals to thoughtful men and contains much matter of vital interest to the present generation. The Committee of Necrology pays a tribute to Monroe C. Crawford and Austin H. Scrogin, two beloved Freemasons who passed to their re- ward last year. The grand lodge evidently believes that its sessions afford an oppor- tune time for demonstrating the work of the jurisdiction for on the eve- ning of the second day the third degree in full dramatized form was worked by a lodge in Topeka. The Committee on Correspondence made a report concerning the rec- ognition of the Grand Lodge of Panama. The report was adverse and the grand lodge concurred in the conclusions offered. From a special report which appears in the i^roceedings it is shown that the new Masonic Home cost $313,447. A slight deficit is reported, but this should occasion a great state like Kansas no concern for it will no doubt be absorbed very rapidly. The election, installation of officers, and reading of the minutes closed the session. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Albert K. Wilson, grand secretary. He devotes 102 pages to his resume of the principal transactions of the grand jurisdictions which came under his observation. Illinois is very courteously treated and the report of Daniel G. Fitz- gerrell given very careful analysis. Several liberal quotations are taken from his report. The principal transactions of the session of 1919 are chronicled and the amendment relating to physical qualifications quoted in full. He is very complimentary concerning the report on foreign cor- respondence. Brother Wilson is always generous and courteous and when he fails to agree does not express his disapproval in a manner that is annoying. Hugh P. Farrelly, G.M., Chanute. Albert K. Wilson, G.S., Topeka. 42 Appendix — Part I KENTUCKY, F. & A. M. 1919 The proceedings of the one hundred and nineteenth annual communi- cation come to us in a voluminous volume; three hundred and fifty pages are devoted to the publication of the officers and members of every lodge in the state. The grand master, W. Carson Black, delivered an extensive address covering forty pages of printed matter. One of his first acts upon assuming office was the appointment of an expert accountant to audit the books of the grand secretary and the trustees of the Masonic Temple. It appears from the report of the grand master that the grand lodge found itself with a lawsuit pending. An icicle fell from the temple build- ing into the business house of a neighbor, who claimed damages to the extent of $.8,000. The case is reported as scheduled to come up in court. The employment of an official reporter to take the proceedings of the grand lodge proved highly satisfactory and the grand master reports the payment of $100 for services rendered. He pays a tribute to the ability and hard work of the grand secretary, Dave Jackson, and refers to him as * ' Smiling Dave. ' ' A number of dispensations were issued for various reasons, none of them being out of the ordinary. Seven dispensations to perform the Ma- sonic burial services over deceased Master Masons already buried were re- fused on the groimd that the Kentucky law declares that after the burial of the body it is too late to call upon Masons to perform any service. The Grand Lodge of Kentucky was very generous in conferring de- grees by courtesy. The service rendered to Illinois lodge is extensive, while the favor was returned by twenty-two lodges in this state conferring de- grees for their Kentucky brethren. Three lodges surrendered their charters and one lodge was unfor- tunate enough to have its charter arrested. The loss was offset by the formation of four new lodges, for which the usual dispensations were issued. The grand master highly endorses the great work that is being accom- plished by the Masonic homes of the state. The Masons of Kentucky are proposing to raise a million dollars in order to make desired additions to the present Masonic homes. The Grand Lodge of Kentucky is to be highly commended for the splendid work which it is doing in an educational way. A substantial fund has been raised, the proceeds being used to edu- cate the orphans of members of the fraternity and to fit them for the active duties of life. The grand master reports that he rendered opinions on hundreds of questions, most of them being of minor importance and easily settled by referring to the constitution of the grand lodge. Masonic Correspondence 43 Among the recommendations made was one that the sum of $50 be spent to purchase a present for the grand treasurer. Concerning regulations of the grand lodge to the effect that lodges may meet as such on any day in the month of June, march in procession to the graves of their dead and decorate the same with flowers with appro- priate ceremonies, the grand master very pertinently asks, "Why in the month of June," and suggests that this service may be performed on any day in any month. Several lodge officers were suspended from their official positions be- cause of infractions of the laws of the state. It is apparent that the Grand Lodge of Kentucky wants its regulations lived up to. The George Washington Memorial Association was strongly endorsed and a recommendation made that the sum of $100 be appropriated to pay the expenses of the grand master or his proxy when he attends the meet- ings of the association. The grand master was unable to attend England's Masonic Peace Jubi- lee and sent our mutual friend, John H. Gowles, to represent the Grand Lodge of Kentucky. John isn't very large in stature but it is safe to say that everyone knew that he was present. The Cedar Eapids Masonic Conference is reported by the grand master without recommendation. The report of the giand treasurer as presented shows the Grand Lodge of Kentucky to be in a very flourishing condition financially. It cost the grand lodge $133,977 to operate its various departments. An examination of the warrants shows the money to have been well spent. The report of the grand secretary, Dave Jackson, is a readable docu- ment. He reports Kentucky to have 587 lodges, with a total membership of 53,182. The number raised during the year was 5,280. The grand secretary reports 952 free memberships, whatever that may be. The Committee on Necrology chronicled the passing of Austin H. Scrogin, late grand master of Illinois, and Monroe C. Crawford, who was the dean of our past grand masters at the time of his decease. The Masonic Employment Bureau did good work during the year, find- ing positions for a number of worthy Masons and their dependents. The total cost of the services rendered was $1,031. From the report of the treasurer of the Masonic homes it is apparent that these institutions are being operated at a very substantial profit for the report shows the treasurer to have investments in hands of $50,000. The Grand Lodge of Kentucky has a special committee whose busi- ness it is to approve the by-laws enacted by constituent Todges. The list as submitted is a long one. 44 Appendix — Part I The Jurisprudence Committee recommended an increase in the salary of the grand secretary from $1,500 to $2,500. The proceedings recorded the presentation of a beautiful vase to the grand treasurer, John II. Leathers. The installation of officers and the presentation of the customary jewel closed the session. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by William W. Clark, past grand master. For some reason Illinois is not reviewed. Probably due to the fact that our proceedings did not reach the reviewer in time to be included in his report for 1919. Henry S. McElroy, G.M. Dave Jackson, G.S. LOUISIANA, F. & A. M. 1920 The 109th annual communication was held in the Scottish Eite Cathedral in the city of New Orleans February 2, 3, and 4, 1920. The lodges of the state appear to have been well represented as the report of the Committee on Credentials shows that there were very few representatives not there. Eudolph Krause, grand master, opened the grand lodge and imme- diately presented his annual address. In his opening remarks he refers to the insidious influences which are at work in this country and warns all good Masons against anarchists and bolshevists, the enemies of just government. He states the net grow-th in membership for the year is the largest in the history of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana. He refers to the conditions of the craft as being extraordinary as not one case had been presented to the Committee on Appeals and Griev- ances. The grand master refers to his official acts and reports granting a dispensation to a lodge to open and close in the woods near a church building for the purpose of rendering the Masonic funeral services over the grave of one of the members who had been dead for a year. The grand master went to England to attend the Masonic peace jubilee and reports the transactions of that affair with much detail. Masonic Correspondence 45 Just at this point the reviewer has reached an obstacle. Pages 33 to 65 of the proceedings in hand appear to have been omitted in the process of binding, it is therefore impossible to say anything concern- ing what may have been reported by the grand master in the missing pages. On page 65 we find a complete resume of the Masonic Service Asso- ciation. One thing the grand master did was to attend many functions ar- ranged by the Scottish Eite, the Eastern Star and other affiliated Ma- sonic organizations. The usual number of dispensations were granted for one purpose and another. Most of them, however, were for legitimate objects and nothing out of the ordinary appears. In Louisiana lodges confer degrees on Sunday, a practice which is not recognized in these parts. The grand master presented fifty-nine rulings and decisions and there are none of them that can be considered as out of the ordinary or to have placed a new construction upon any portion of our Masonic law. Three corner-stones were laid during the year, one of them of a Methodist Church, the other two for Masonic buildings. The grand master reports the Masonic Temple property productive financially but states that the building is manifestly inadequate to the needs of the grand lodge and that it should commence the erection of a structure from fifteen to twenty stories high in order to take care of the rapidly increasing demands of the craft. A recommendation is made that the grand lodge appropriate $1,000 to the George Washington Memorial Association. The grand treasurer reports the receipts of the grand lodge to be $73,199 and expenditures of $66,593. The report of the grand secretary is in the usual form and shows the grand lodge to have made a net gain of 2,420 during the year, making the present membership in the state 23,008. The Grand Lodge of Louisiana maintains what is called a Masonic cemetery. A report made upon this shows that this enterprise is suc- ceeding most admirably. The writer had the pleasure of visiting the Masonic cemetery of New Orleans last winter and was surprised to note the high character of this burying ground with its splendid monuments and mausoleums and its well-kept condition. 46 Appendix — Part I A complete report is made by the grand lecturer showing the ex- tent of his activities in visiting a large number of lodges and imparting instruction therein. On the evening of the first day a most excellent oration was de- livered by E. H. Harper, his subject was "Masonry is Morality Eealized Through Brotherhood." He said some very excellent things and if the brethren would only take home and profit from his utterances they would not only be better men but the fraternity would stand higher in the community. A resolution was presented to the grand lodge which had been adopted by the Eastern Star of Louisiana which asked the grand lodge to con- sider the advisability of erecting a Masonic Home. The resolution went to the Committee on State of the Order. This committee made a report to the effect that they did not deem it wise to consider the matter at this time on account of other important building operations now pending. The grand lodge stopped long enough on the third day to receive the representatives of other grand jurisdictions. Illinois was represented by Hugh W. McMillan. One peculiar matter came before the grand lodge and that was in reference to a complaint which had been filed against the action of the authorities of the Eoman Catholic Church in forbidding a lodge to enter a cemetery for the purpose of burying a brother. The grand lodge decided that this was not a matter in which it could take any action as it was without power or authority to interfere between the owner of lots in the cemetery. Eecommendations made by the grand master were approved by the grand lodge, and the election and installation of officers was the last act of the session. The report on foreign correspondence is extremely brief covering not to exceed twenty-five pages. It is prepared by Herman C. Duncan. Illinois is reviewed for 1918 also for 1919, one page being given to the consideration of the acts of Grand Masters Scrogin and Fitzgerrell for the two years mentioned. The larger portion of the proceedings of Louisiana are taken up with th^ roster of the officers and the members of the constituent lodges of the state. Wynne G. Sogers, G.M. John A. Davilla, G.S. Masonic Correspondence 47 MAINE, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The one hundred and first annual communication was held in the Masonic Temple, Portland, opening on Tuesday, May 4, 1920. The first business of importance was a report from the Committee on Transporta- tion to the effect that they had been unable to procure reduced rates on account of the session. The grand master, Silas B. Adams, read his annual address to the grand lodge, which was a very short document, covering nine pages. He referred to the condition of the craft in the main to be most satisfactory and said that the addition of new members had been unprecedented both as regards quantity and quality. He reported a 20 percent rejection of petitions submitted which he claimed indicated that careful scrutiny was exercised by the investigating committees and that conscientious discrim- ination was manifest in the ballot. He reports 27 dispensations, 16 of which were to receive and act upon petitions in less than the constitutional time. He states that he has been unwilling to grant a waiver where the convenience of the petitioner was the controlling factor. He claimed that the convenience of the lodge was the important consideration and of primary importance. He seemed to think that if the dignity of the fraternity was to be maintained and the importance of the fraternity thoroughly impressed upon the minds of candidates it could not be done otherwise than by upholding the traditions and customs of the society, and in this stand the gi-and master is right. A recommendation was made that the minimum fees for the degrees be fixed at $35, claiming that the present minimum fee of $20 was too low. The grand master pointed out that a man earning $9 a week thirty- five years ago, now earned $50 and that the fees and dues of the fraternity should be kept in proportion to existing conditions. One ruling made was that subordinate lodges could not appear in re- galia in conjunction with other civic organizations. It was held that only on occasions strictly Masonic could a lodge appear in regalia. According to the laws of Maine a lodge cannot use its funds to give expensive banquets and entertainments. They can only be employed for defraying the necessary expenses of the lodge and for charitable pur- poses. During the year the corner-stone of a high school was laid with Ma- sonic honors and one Masonic lodge room dedicated. The grand master closed his address with some very strong com- mendatory remarks concerning the district deputy grand masters and the grand lecturer. 48 Appendix — Pai't I The grand secretary made a report in -nhich he omitted the usual statistics and made such remarks as he deemed expedient for the best interests of the grand lodge. It appears from the report of the grand treasurer that the district deputy grand masters collect the dues of the lodges of the state and pay them over to the grand treasurer. The grand lecturer majies a very complete report showing the activities of his office during the year. The grand lodge in the main believes that instruction should be given in the ritual and lectures and seems to be accomplishing the end desired. The election of officers took place in the afternoon of the first day, the grand secretary reporting the actual number of votes to be 628. The record shows that six representatives presented sufficient good reasons for non-attendance for the remainder of the sessions and were duly excused. We wonder what would happen in the Grand Lodge of Illinois if a similar ruling would be adopted. The afternoon of the second day was given over to a centennial cele- bration at which there was a program of music and the usual addresses, followed by a six o'clock dinner. The question of joining the United States Masonic Service Associa- tion was deferred for one year. No other business of importance appears to have been transacted at this session. The report on correspondence is prepared by our mutual friend Albro E. Chase. He gives Illinois one and one-half pages of consideration and makes brief quotations from the address of the grand master, Daniel G. Fitzgerrell. Edward W. Wheeler, G.M., Brunswick, Charles B. Davis, G.S., Portland. MANITOBA, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The city of Winnipeg entertained the annual communication of the grand lodge, the forty-fifth, on Wednesday, June 9th, 1920, The grand master, Alexander Mclntyre, makes a quite a long report to his grand lodge in which he discusses various subjects of interest to the welfare of the craft in that jurisdiction. The grand master states that he found it advisable during the year to purge the list of grand representatives, Masonic Correspondence 49 to cut out all the dead wood, fill in the vacancies and bring the list in some measure to a completion. He visited a number of lodges and states that the meetings which he attended revealed to him the great heart of Freemasonry and the splendid and courageous character of the members of the society. The district deputy grand masters make very long and very thorough reports which are appended to the address of the grand master. From these reports it is possible to gain some conception of the condition of the grand lodge throughout the jurisdiction. Evidently the Grand Lodge of Manitoba has been successful in bringing its system of district deputies to a high degree of perfection. The financial report of the grand treasurer shows the grand lodge to be in a most excellent condition. The business transacted at this session consisted mainly of reports of the various committees and the record shows that a long wrangle was in- dulged in over the recognition of foreign grand lodges particularly that of France and that both majority and minority reports were presented which caused much discussion. After it was all over the grand lodge decided to recognize Norway and the Grand Orient of the Netherlands, and to arrange for an exchange of representatives. One interesting report which is made a part of the proceedings is that of the Committee on the Condition of Freemasonry. The grand lodge is certainly fortunate in finding brethren who have time enough to devote to a study of Masonic conditions throughout the world and to bring to the grand lodge that condensed information which is so desirable. The report on Foreign Correspondence is presented in topical form and is submitted by A. L. Crossin. In this report there is a general discussion of such matters as claimed the attention of the various grand lodges during the year. The reviewer has been liberal in making quotations and his report seems to l)e fair to all concerned. Albert J. Hatcher, G.M., Brandon. James A. Ovas, G.S., Winnipeg. 50 Appendix — Part I MARYLAND, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The Grand Lodge of Maryland believes in dividing up the year's work for it holds two semi-annual communications each year. The first one was held May 13, 1919. The grand lodge was opened by the deputy grand master and after the usual ceremonies the grand master was formally introduced, received and seated in the oriental chair. Several visitors from neighboring juris- dictions were present and were likewise accorded the grand honors. The grand master, Charles C. Homer, makes a very brief report. He refers to the great prosperity, which is being enjoyed, the net gain for six months being 1,155. Maryland believes in the Masonic Service Association as projected by our brethren of Iowa and expresses regret that all grand lodges have not taken membership in this society. The grand secretary's report deals altogether with figures and shows the grand lodge to be in a most successful condition financially. Very little was transacted at this session out of the ordinary. One thing the grand lodge did was to pass a motion providing compensation in the way of mileage for the district grand inspectors in order that they might attend grand lodge and become acquainted with what goes on there. A new form of petition for degrees was adopted. A number of questions were inserted for the petitioner to answer which might establish his identity and give the investigating committee something to work upon. At the semi-annual communication held on the third Tuesday of No- vember, 1919, the usual routine was observed. The grand master opened his address at this time with reference to the patriotic services rendered during the Eevolutionary War and cites them as an example to be fol- lowed by all good Masons. At this session the principal business appears to have been the re- ceiving and auditing of accounts. The Masonic Service Association was endorsed and the reception of distinguished visitors from other grand jurisdictions, made a feature. At six o 'clock an elaborate dinner was served to the brethren in the Masonic Temple, after which the grand lodge resumed its labors. The election and installation of officers closed the session. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Henry Branch. It is brief and Illinois for 1918 is given one page of consideration. The Masonic Correspondence 51 conferring of the Third Degree upon the grand master of the Odd Fellows by the grand master of the Masons is characterized as an unusual oc- casion. Otherwise the review is devoid of comment. Charles C. Homer, Jr., G.M., Baltimore. George Cook, G.S., Baltimore. MASSACHUSETTS, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts presents a volume of proceedings which is of more than passing interest. Instead of being devoted to the usual prosaic details of the grand lodge sessions, the book contains many interesting illustrations and a number of articles that are of more than passing interest. Each emergent communication is fully recorded and whatever address may have been delivered on these occasions is reproduced in full. The story of the visit of the grand secretary, Frederick W. Hamilton, to the meeting held by the Grand Lodge of England in London on June 27, 1919, makes delightful reading. One thing the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts did last year was to observe the birthday of George Washington. This very interesting meet- ing was held on Sunday, the 16th day of February, and an extensive program furnished entertainment and instruction for a large representation of the craft. The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts holds quarterly communications. At each of these such business as appears to be of vital interest is pre- sented and disposed of. The grand master, Leon M. Abbott, has something to say about the investigation of candidates for admission but he deplores the practice of lodges sending out questionnaires stating that he thinks the objections to such methods clearly outweigh the advantages. He calls the attention of lodges to the law which prohibits unaffiliated Masons from participating in lodge privileges. One ruling made was to the effect that a warden has no right to raise a candidate or occupy the master 's chair except in his own lodge. A number of cases involving the question of jurisdiction came before the grand master but in each one he adhered rigidly to establishing rules of the grand lodge. 52 Appendix — Part I He expresses the idea that there is an element of danger to the fra- ternity in the large number of clubs which appear to be forming in many of the Masonic lodges of the state. He holds to the same idea which this writer has long contended and that is, that clubs within the lodge are dangerous and that the lodge itself should furnish whatever is necessary, in the way of social requirements. Several new lodges were established during the year. The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts does not confine its activities of propagating Ma- sonry to its own state but will issue dispensations for the establishment of new lodges in foreign countries when it is apparent that the best in- terests of the fraternity will be conserved by such action. The grand lodge considered the question of the Masonic Service Asso- ciation and after due investigation by a committee, decided to join the enterprise and to send representatives to such meetings as may be held. The proceedings record a rather unusual charge of unmasonic conduct in the case of a soldier who wilfully disobeyed a lawful command of his superior officer. The military court martial gave him a dishonorable dis- charge and sentenced him to twenty years at hard labor. Formal charges were presented in his Masonic lodge and finally dis- missed because the United States government set aside the verdict of the court martial. The case was simply one of conscientious objections. Some of the lodges of Massachusetts abbreviated the lectures of the degrees with the result that they came in for very severe censure and due warning that a repetition of the offense would lead to serious trouble. From the proceedings it is learned that there is a mortgage on the Masonic Temple in Boston owned by the grand lodge, of $185,000. The building is appraised to $1,500,000. This indebtedness should cause no concern to anyone. The financial statement which is presented is very clear and concise. The grand secretary draws a salary of $4,000 and is allowed clerk hire of $1,800. The grand lodges does not recognize succession in office but selects its grand masters each year from such of the eligibles as are looked upon favorably. During the closing hours of the grand lodge the retiring grand master, Leon M. Abbott, was presented with a beautiful hall clock. One of the most interesting meetings held by the grand lodge is in imitation of our English brethren and is called the grand feast. This usually takes place each December on the 27th day. Masonic Correspondence 53 Certain fixed toasts are proposed and responded to and there are al- ways a number of most excellent addresses which are reproduced fully in the proceedings. The volume under review is closed by some very interesting historical articles concerning the development of Freemasonry in various parts of the State of Massachusetts. There is no review on foreign correspondence. M.W. Arthur D. Prince, G.M., Lowell. F. W. Hamilton, G.S., Cambridge. MICHIGAN, F. & A. M. 1920 The volume under review is a very handsome one, well printed and con- taining portraits of grand officers as well as one of the grand master, Charles B. Eddy, in full military uniform. The grand lodge did not waste any time in getting down to actual business. The first item of importance was the annual address of the graud master. In his opening remarks he states that he had devoted his entire time to the duties of his office and has been so fortunate as not to have any business cares to worry him. He declares that the year has been a strenuous one but that he has enjoyed it fully. He states that Masonry in Michigan has prospered during the last year and that the lodges have received more applications than ever before. The total number raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason was 11,410 so that the state now has a membership of 106,000 Master Masons in good standing. The grand master takes up the subject of the various "isms" with which the country is afflicted at the present time and makes an earnest plea for the little red schoolhouse and for the honor and defense of the flag of our country which is so dear to every true Freemason. The report of the grand master is complete in every detail and there is no doubt left in the minds of anyone but that he discharged the duties of his office in a thorough, careful and painstaking manner. During the year eight new temples were dedicated and two corner-stone ceremonies observed. Many miscellaneous dispensations wore granted, all of which are re- ported in detail, together with the amount of fees collected for each one. 54 Appendix — Part I Thirteen dispensations for the formation of new lodges were granted by the grand master which shows that the craft is expanding in Michigan at a very rapid rate. The Craftsmen's Club of Ann Arbor, which is composed of student Masons, receives hearty commendation and the recommendation made that the grand lodge vote the sum of $200 to assist this club in carrying forward its work. The grand master has something to say concerning the investigation of the various petitions for the degrees and thinks that there is a great laxity in this respect. Other grand masters have commented upon this same condition, but it should be remembered that so many petitions have been presented to our lodges during the past two or three years and the work has been so burdensome that it is to be expected that there would be a letting- down of the bars in the matter of properly looking up those who knock at our doors for admission. A questionnaire is submitted by the grand master to be filled out and attached to each petition for the degrees so that the committee on investigation would have some basis upon which to work. One thing the grand master does is to submit his ideas concerning establishing a system of district deputy grand masters. He believes that Masonry has grown to such an extent in the state that it is impossible for one man to exercise proper supervision over the craft and in order to accomplish the best results for the fraternity it is absolutely necessary that the state be divided into districts and that proper and competent oflScers be placed in charge of each one. The Masonic Service Association is endorsed and presented to the grand lodge with a request for financial and moral support. The grand master evidently paid some attention to the laws of the jurisdiction for he recommends a number of amendments to existing statutes, some of which would no doubt be for the best interests of the craft if adopted. The George Washington Memorial Association is heartily commended and every individual Mason urged to contribute toward the enterprise at least to the extent of $1, The report of the grand secretary, presented by Lou B. Winsor, is purely financial and statistical. Of course the grand lodge is in a most excellent condition in every way. The funds which are coming in appear to be such to enable the grand lodge to maintain itself with a proper degree of dignity. The grand lecturer held 132 schools of instruction which were attended by 400 masters and a total number of 18,000 lodge members. It is apparent from this report that the grand lecturer succeeded admirably in reaching the craft during the year of his service. Masonic Correspondence 55 Michigan maintains a Masonic Home of which it may feel justly proud. The total amount expended for maintenance was $43,975, and the per capita cost of table supplies is given at $2.74 per week. The principal business at the session under review appears to have been largely the acceptance of reports of committees and there does not appear to have been anything done out of the ordinary or which would tend to create any undue excitem^t. One amendment adopted was that of fixing the per diem of officers and members of the grand lodge at $5 and the allowance of 5 cents for each mile traveled. The report on Foreign Correspondence is prepared by Lou B. Winsor and is a most excellent document. It is naturally to be expected that Brother Winsor would produce a paper worthy of careful study because of his intense interest in the fraternity and the fact that he gets around a good deal and mingles with the craft not only in his own jurisdiction but also all over the United States. He finds no particular fault with any- thing that the Grand Lodge of Illinois did at its annual session of 1919. He pays the compliment to the Illinois reviewer of copying all that he says upon the subject of physical qualifications and the matter of co-ordination. There is much more that the writer would like to say concerning the session of the Grand Lodge of Michigan but as the amount of space allotted to him is limited he terminates this review with very great reluctance. Ira A. Beck, G.M., Battle Creek, Lou B'. Winsor, G.S., Grand Eapids. MINNESOTA, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The city of St. Paul entertained the sixty-seventh annual communi- cation which opened on Wednesday, January 21, at high twelve. The roll call shows A. T. Stebbins, a representative of Illinois, to have been present. The first business of importance was the address of the grand master, George M. Stowe. His report is a complete resume of the business which passed through his hands during the year which he served. In his open- ing remarks he seems to think that Freemasonry is nearing a crucial test and that we have reached a period in our development when we can not longer rely upon profession but must do something more. Thirty-one lodges were visited by the grand master, the by-laws of a number approved and the usual dispensations issued. Several lodges were 56 Appendix — Part I granted dispensations to hold more than one communication on the same day in order to confer degrees. One hundred and thirty questions were submitted to the grand master, 98 percent of which he says ' ' could have been answered by reference to the code of laws. ' ' One Masonic Temple was dedicated and six corner- stone ceremonies held. Concerning physical qualifications, Brother Stowe expresses the thought that laws formulated in 1720 can not very well be applied to conditions which exist in 1920. He therefore thinks the regulations concerning physi- cal qualifications should receive some modification. The Masonic Service Association is endorsed by the grand master. Minnesota at present does not have district deputy grand masters. The grand master, however, says that the craft has grown to such an extent that it is no longer a one-man institution and for that reason he thinks that some system of state division and supervision as is usually contemplated in the appointment of district deputies should receive the con- sideration of the grand lodge. The George Washington Memorial Association, as well as the Masonic Eelief Association are heartily endorsed. Among the recommendations made is one that the grand master be empowered to grant dispensations for the initiation of candidates who are physically defective. He closes his address by emphasizing the fact that Freemasonry is a living thing. The grand treasurer reports receipts of $29,718 and expenditures of $23,463. The permanent relief fund as maintained by our Minnesota brethren shows total assets in the way of securities and cash of $139,299. The grand secretary reports a total of 271 lodges in the state, with a membership of 39,995. The net gain for the year was 3,002. The Committee on Masonic Study and Eesearch presented a long re- port in which they recommend that greater attention be given to the study of Freemasonry, its history, philosophy and purposes. The custodian of the work reported that Masonic schools had been more successful than ever before and that 211 lodges had been represented at the schools held, a very substantial increase over the preceding year. A pending amendment to the grand lodge by-laws permitting the initiation of defectives, who by the aid of artificial appliances were enabled to comply with the requirements of the fraternity, was called up and adopted. The salary of the grand secretary was fixed at $2,400 per year. The election and installation of officers closed the session. Masonic Correspondence 57 The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Irving Todd. Illinois is given a page and a quarter of brief but courteous review. The address to the grand lodge of Brother Daniel G. Fitzgerrell is highly com- mended because of its brevity. Evidently Brother Todd believes in very brief correspondence reports as he indicates his preference for brevity in more than one way. In the present period of scarcity of paper and the high cost of printing it is very nece«isary that all grand lodges save as much as possible. E. A. Montgomery, G.M. John Fishel, G.S. MISSISSIPPI, F. & A. M. 1920 The one hundred and second annual communication was held in the city of Vicksburg on Tuesday, February 24, 1920. On the evening pre- ceding the opening of the grand lodge, a public service was held in the opera house at which there was an extended program of music, and ad- dresses by the grand master of the grand lodge and grand matron of the Eastern Star. At the opening session of the grand lodge, Illinois was represented by Paul H. Murphy, grand representative. The first business of importance was the address of the grand master, Louis A. Benoist. In his report on necrology, he records the names of Austin H. Scrogin and Monroe C. Crawford. The grand master recom- mended that all lodges require visitors to produce their receipts for dues as an evidence of Masonic standing. Two corner-stones were laid during the year — one of a Masonic Temple; the other a school building. The George Washington Memorial Association is mentioned, and re- ferred to the grand lodge for such action as it may desire to take. The National Masonic Eelief Association is also brought to the attention of the grand lodge, and a recommendation made that a representative be sent to the next biennial meeting. The grand master makes special men- tion of the higher educational fund one brother having given $50,000 toward this splendid work. The death of the grand secretary, Frederick Gordon Speed, was a great shock to the fraternity in Mississippi. Past Grand Master Oliver L. Me- Kay was appointed to fill the office until the meeting of the grand lodge. 58 . Appendix — Part I Out of eighty-eight requests for dispensations, forty-two were re- jected. A recommendation is made that fraternal relations be resumed with the Grand Lodge of New Jersey. The grand master recommends that the Grand Lodge of Mississippi be given a permanent location and a grand lodge building erected com- mensurate with its dignity. The following item which appeared in a Memphis newspaper as a spe- cial telegram from a point in Mississippi, came in for severe condemna- tion. ' ' This week a very popular physician was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason and it was the most wonderful performance that has taken place in this lodge. The goat bucked all over King Solomon '3 Temple and it took the doctor so long to regain speech that his friends got uneasy about him." The grand master attended the meeting of the National Masonic Ser- vice Association, and recommended that the grand lodge continue its mem- bership. The grand lecturer reports holding of eight Masonic sclioois, one in each congressional district. The grand secretary presents a very complete report. He gives the number of chartered lodges as 367, with a total membership of 23,807, a net gafn for the year of 2,064. The craft must have been highly prosperous in Mississippi during the past year for one hundred and thirty lodges conferred more than twenty- one degrees. A memorial to Frederick Gordon Speed, grand secretary, who died during his term of office, was presented and received by the grand lodge. The Finance Committee made a report, which was adopted, recom- mending that the minimum fees for the degrees be fixed at $30, and recom- mended that for each degree conferred the lodge shall pay to the grand lodge the sum of $3.50, one dollar of which is to go into the general fund, and two dollars into the Masonic Home Maintenance Fund. A very long report was submitted to the grand lodge by the auditors or rather public accountants, in which the financial condition of the grand lodge was set forth in a report covering forty-four pages. The question of recognizing the Grand Lodge of France came up and the special committee dealing with the subject asked for further time, claiming that sufficient data was not at hand to enable them to prepare an intelligent report. The Committee on Masonic Law and Jurisdiction made answers or rather rendered opinions on twenty-four questions which were submitted Masonic Correspondence 59 to that august body by the grand master. No new points were raised, most of the opinions rendered being merely interpretations of local questions. The grand lodge appointed a special committee to gather data looking to a permanent location for the grand lodge, and the erection of a suitable temple. A resolution was offered by the grand secretary endorsing the free public school system. This resolution was received and adopted with great enthusiasm. The election and installation of oflficers closed the session. There is no report on foreign correspondence. The space usually given to the review is taken up with lodge returns. Three hundred and tluee pages are devoted to the mere printing of names. Edward L. Faucette, G.M., Newton. Oliver Lee McKay, G.S., Meridian. MISSOURI, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The official proceedings of the ninety-ninth annual communication held in St. Louis September 16, 1919, come in a large volume containing much interesting matter. The opening ceremonies were very brief. As soon as the Committee on Credentials had reported a constitutional quorum present a resolution was offered increasing the compensation of representatives by adding one cent a mile travel and $2 per diem. John W. Bingham, grand master, presented a report which while not long is nevertheless interesting. He comments upon the wonderful Masonic growth that the state experienced during the year, 6753 having been raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason and observes that the activities of the craft in that state have scarcely known any bounds. He also calls attention to the tremendous interest in the building of new halls and homes for lodges throughout the jurisdiction and expresses the idea that nothing can check the onward march of the fraternity. The usual dispensations were issued and the master of one lodge suspended from office on account of gross drunkenness. Among the recom- mendations made are the following: That a digest of the decisions of the grand lodge be prepared and published; that all requests for dispensations to re-ballot on petitions be accompanied by a fee of $5 and that in addition to his salary the grand lodge pay the postage account of the grand master. 60 Appendix — Part I Mention is made of the fact that the grand lodge undertook the support of fifty fatherless children of France and that the work has been carried forward with much satisfaction to all concerned. The grand master reports 22 decisions. One decision made was that a blind man is not eligible to receive the degrees in Masonry. This decision is in the direct line with a large number that have been made this year by other grand masters. Another decision was that one who has not passed his efficiency in the Third Degree cannot hold an appointive oflB.ce in the lodge, neither can he vote. An extensive proposition appears in the proceedings from the Masonic Temple Association of St. Louis where it is proposed to erect a magnificent building which will not only take care of the various lodges of the city of St. Louis but at the same time will be a lasting monument to Freemasonry. The report of the grand secretary covers many items of the various activities which he performed during the year. He reports the net gain in membership as 5,248 and the total number of Master Masons in the state as 78,449. The financial statement which is made shows that the Grand Lodge of Missouri is receiving ample funds with which to carry on its work. A long report is made by the Committee on Necrology. Proper tributes are paid to Past Grand Masters Monroe C. Crawford and Austin H. Scrogin, two distinguished craftsmen of Illinois. Quite a long report is made by the grand lecturer who discusses the various lodges which he visited and he goes much into detail as to conditions as he found them. A most excellent oration upon the subject of Patriotism and Peace was delivered by William F. Woodruff, grand orator. Quite a long report is made concerning the Masonic Service Association of the United States and the grand lodge voted to become a member and pay its proportionate amount of expense. The Masonic Employment Bureau of St. Louis collected almost $4000 for its work during the year and expended a like amount. The total num- ber of positions filled was 885 at an average cost of $4.47. Surely the grand lodge has done a most excellent work in this particular line of endeavor. One thing the grand lodge did was to thoroughly endorse the Masonic Temple Association of St. Louis and to vote to join the enterprise in order that all might work together harmoniously. The report on Foreign Correspondence is prepared by the Kev. C. C. Woods. Illinois receives kindly consideration. The opening remarks of Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin being quoted in full. There are very Masonic Correspondence 61 liberal extracts taken from various acts of tlie grand lodge and the report on Foreign Correspondence is generously treated. Julius C. Garrcll, G.M., St. Louis. John E. Parson, G.S., St. Louis. MONTANA, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The iifty-fifth annual communication was held in the city of Great Falls on Wednesday, August 20. The opening ceremonies were brief, after which the grand master, E. M. Hutchinson read his annual address. The document is complete in every detail and leaves no doubt that the grand master discharged the duties of his office to the very best of his ability. He says that Masonry in Montana has been growing by leaps and bounds and that interest unprecedented in history has been manifest. The usual interstate courtesies as manifested in the conferring of degrees by request have been apparent and dispensations have been issued for the most part to permit lodges to hold special elections for various purposes. Seven new lodges were constituted by the grand master and dispensations issued for the formation of three new bodies. Montana was represented at the London Peace Jubilee by Eobert E. Hathaway, senior grand warden. The grand master reports that all questions referred to him have been answered by reference to the statutes and that there has been no occasion to make any decisions. The George Washington Memorial Association receives endorsement and the recommendation is made that the grand lodge appoint a dele- gate to attend the meetings of this society and that membership therein be taken. The grand master reports an appropriation of $25 to the Boy Scout movement and asks that the grand lodge approve his action. It appears from the grand master 's report that the Masons of the northwest part of our country created an organization called the Sons of Hiram. The intention as indicated was to create a bond of sympathy among the widely diversified interests of that section and to promote the general welfare of the craft. The grand master believes in study 62 Appendix — Part I clubs and recommends that tlie matter be brought seriously to the atten- tion of each lodge in the state. The Iowa Masonic Service Association is reported in detail and the subject presented to the grand lodge with the hope that member- ship will be taken in the society and Montana join the ranks of those grand lodges which have already stood for Masonic uniformity. The deputy grand master, as well as the grand wardens and grand deacons, submit reports to the grand lodge of their Masonic activities during the year. These are printed in the proceedings and make very interesting reading. The grand treasurer reports total receipts of $26,652 and expendi- tures of $22,241. The Masonic Home is fully exploited in a report made by the Board of Trustees of that institution. Many items are gone into detail and it is easy to understand that the institution is being well managed and is producing a vast amount of good. In the proceedings is a halftone picture of eight men who have been Master Masons for fifty years. The picture is interesting and is a de- serving compliment to those who have served the craft in the years that have gone. A special committee to whom was referred the matter of the Masonic Service Association made a report recommending that the grand lodge take membership and pay the per capita expense. The Grand Lodge of Montana experienced some difficulty with the Grand Lodge of New York over the material appropriated by the latter in its sea and field lodges. It appears from the proceedings that the matter was adjusted to the satisfaction of all concerned. The grand secretary was allowed an increase in salary of $350 per year. A recommendation was also made that the Committee on Cre- dentials be appointed in advance of the grand lodge meeting in order that much work might be done before the session. The installation of oflScers and the presentation of the signet ring closed the session. The report on foreign correspondence is written by H. S. Hepner. Illinois is very generously considered. Liberal quotations are taken from the address of Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin and various items in our transactions are mentioned. The report on foreign correspondence is highly commended and some extended extracts are taken therefrom. W. L. Parmelee, G.M., Butte. Cornelius Hedges, Jr., G.S., Helena. Masonic Correspondence 63 NEBRASKA, F. & A. M. 1920 The sixty-third annual communication was held in the city of Omaha, June 8th and 9th, 1920; 230 of the 275 chartered lodges were represented when the gavel fell. The first item of interest was the introduction of the American flag which was brought in by officers who had seen service overseas. The brethren sang America during the time the flag was received and accorded the grand honors. Quite a long report to the Grand Lodge was made by John Ehrhard who represented the Grand Master of Nebraska at the English Peace Jubilee. Francis E. White who was also present made an extended report. The grand master, John J, Tooley, was not able to be present at the opening, he having received intelligence that his father had passed into the Great Beyond on the preceding evening. The grand lodge sent the proper letter of condolence. On the afternoon of the first day the grand master was able to be present and presented his report to the grand lodge. He expresses regret that he was unable to give as much time to the duties of his office as he would have liked, but business and other demands of a public nature pre- vented him from doing as much as his conscience dictated that he should. He states that the year was one of unusual growth in membership, more than 4000 having been initiated and a net increase of almost 2700 being made for the year. He states that many of the petitioners are young men and that a wonderful opportunity is offered for the education and training of these new recruits. The Nebraska Masonic Service Association receives hearty endorsement. The grand master states that if its aims and purposes are carried out Masonry will be made a mighty force in the affairs of this country. A recommendation is made that the grand custodian of the work be granted an increase in salary and the plan of holding schools of instruction at the most accessible points throughout the jurisdiction is given hearty endorsement. A number of special dispensations were issued authorizing the con- ferring of degrees without regard to time. Concerning the matter of reinstatement the grand master has some- thing to say about those members of the craft who carry dimits for un- limited periods and who in their declining years are unable to support themselves, knock at the door of the Masonic lodge for admission in order 64 Appendix — Part I to gain a place of refuge. He thinks that all petitions for reinstatement coming under this head should receive the careful consideration of a most competent committee. Three new lodges were constituted during the year and attention of the grand lodge called to a number of weak lodges which should be bolstered up and made to properly work out the ideals of the fraternity. It appears from the grand master 's report that a new society has made its appearance in Nebraska known as the Knights and Ladies of Jericho. The ritual of this society exemplifies biblical characters and is somewhat similar to the Order of the Eastern Star. This organization appealed to the grand master for recognition by the grand lodge. The writer is prompted to inquire "What next?" The grand master expresses the thought that while he made a good many opinions that he doubts whether very many of them can be classed as decisions; however, he submitted two to the grand lodge because the points involved were somewhat out of the ordinary as applying to Nebraska law. The George Washington Memorial Association is endorsed and some recommendations made concerning members of the fraternity who carry dimits in their pockets. The report of the grand secretary deals with the various functions per- formed by him in executive capacity during the year and contains many details which show the activities of those charged with the affairs of the grand lodge. Custodian of the work makes a report which is of course more or less interesting to those vitally affected. He conducted a large number of schools and expressed the regret that there are some lodges in an apa- thetic condition. Considerable is said in the report concerning funeral rites and the grand lecturer holds to the idea that it is the prerogative of the master of the lodge to conduct the Masonic burial service regardless of whatever requests may have been made by the deceased as to who shall officiate at these last ceremonies. The trustees of the Nebraska Masonic Home have charge of the Orphans Educational Fund. This is a very substantial sum of money and the pro- ceeds therefrom ought to do an immense amount of good educating the orphans of the deceased members of the fraternity. A complimentary dinner was tendered the grand lodge by the lodges of Omaha and it is needless to say that the brethren enjoyed a feast which not only satisfied their appetites but enjoyed some addresses upon the subject of Freemasonry which were of a very high order. Masonic Correspondence 65 The Grand Lodge of Nebraska does not appear to have transacted any business of a startling or alarming character, confining its efforts to such matters as usually come before a body of this sort. The review presented by the Committee on Correspondence is very short, comprising but about fifty pages. Illinois is briefly considered and it is supposed that the brevity of the report was made necessary by the high printing costs which so many complain of at the present time. Joseph B. Fradenburg, G.M., Omaha. Francis E. White, G.S., Omaha. NEVADA, F. & A. M. 1919 The fifty-fifth annual communication was held in the city of Reno on Wednesday, June 11. The grand lodge opened at 12 o'clock noon. As soon as the Committee on Credentials had announced a quorum of constituent lodges being present, the grand lodge adjourned until two o'clock in the afternoon. The first business was the presentation of the address of the grand master, Walter E. Pratt. He opens by saying that Freemasonry is qualified to lead the thought of the times because the principles upon which it is founded causes it to stand four-square with all the world. The usual number of requests to confer degrees by courtesy are re- ported. The by-laws of two lodges were approved and only a limited num- ber of dispensations granted. One decision was rendered to the effect that when two lodges consolidate, the property of either does not be- come forfeited to the grand lodge but that the consolidated lodge suc- ceeds to all funds and records of its constituents as well as liabilities. He ruled that an enemy alien was not qualified to the petitions for the degrees of Masonry. A long list of visitations are reported showing that the grand master was disposed to mingle with the craft and to keep in touch with the lodges of his jurisdiction. 66 Appendix — Part I Among the recommendations made was one that the grand lodge pro- vide funds for holding schools of instruction. He stated that provision was made for a Committee on Eituals and Standard Work, as well as a master of instruction, but that the grand lodge failed to provide the means for carrying out the evident intentions of the regulations. It is evident that the Grand Lodge of Nevada docs not require very- much funds to keep it in operation, for the total amount of collections reported is $2,855 and the expenditures $2,881. The total number of lodges of the state is given by the secretary as twenty-three with a membership of 2,078. It is apparent from the tabulated statement under consideration that the grand lodge sustained a loss of one during the year. During the session of the grand lodge an oration was delivered by A. E, Cheney. His subject was, "Leave Not Thy Children a Tumbled House." He had considerable to say about the present unrest in the country and urged all Masons to do their full duty by standing for the government. It does not appear that very much business was transacted at this session out of the ordinary, all of the transactions being routine and con- sisting largely in the reports of committees from which is gleaned the idea that the state of the craft while not as prosperous as elsewhere is in satisfactory condition to those charged with its affairs. The report on correspondence is prepared by Edward D. Vanderlieth and he has given the subject careful and painstaking consideration. He gives Illinois three pages of kind and courteous review and finds no fault with any of our transactions and commends much that was done at our session of 1918. Concerning the reference made in the review of 1919 to the city of Reno as the city of eternal triangles, he very pertinently says: "So it is from your point of view. From our point of view the query comes why are the residents of your part of the country eternally triangling in this section of the U. S. A." That's all right Brother Vanderlieth about that title of yours, grand commissioner of the review. The writer is for you and isn't going to damn you for anything you may do regardless of what they may do to you in Nevada. Wm. B. S. Park, G.M. Edward D. Vanderlieth, G.S. Masonic Correspondence 67 NEVADA, F. & A. M. 1920 The fifty-sixth annual communication was held in the city of Keno on "Wednesday, June 9, 1920. The grand secretary is to be commended on the promptness which he has displayed in getting his proceedings out and in the hands of those interested. B. S. Park, grand master, presented an address to the grand lodge which is interesting and shows him to have been attentive to the duties of his office. He states that his official acts have been few and that peace reigns among the brethren of Nevada. One circular which was sent out during the year related to guarding the outer door. Apparently the brethren of our western state have been a little careless or perhaps remiss in their duty in keeping the eavesdropper at a proper distance. Only two questions were asked the grand master and these are referred to as indicating a highly satisfactory condition of the craft. The questions are purely local and would be of little interest if reproduced here. The grand lodge requires all constituent lodges to present by-laws and amendments to by-laws for approval. This of course adds to the labors of the grand master but no doubt prevents the enaction of many improper privileges. The number of visitations to local lodges made by the grand master is worthy of note because it shows a disposition on his part to mingle with his brethren. The Masonic Service Association is presented to the grand lodge and a plea is made that the subject be given very earnest and careful con- sideration. The public schools come in for strong commendation and the craft are urged to support them to the limit. Very few recommendations are made by the grand master. One was that the Finance Committee devise a more uniform system of bookkeeping and accounts for the use of the grand lodge and the easy-going fashion of performing the work was condemned and lodges urged to observe a more rigid and circumspect manner of conferring degrees. The grand treasurer gives his receipts as $3,350 and his expenditures as $2,135. The grand secretary goes much into detail concerning the issuance of various documents during the year. The state of the craft is reported as 68 Appendix — Part I very satisfactory, a gain of 100 for the year being shown. As there are but 23 lodges in the state it may be assumed that this increase in membership is in proportion to the membership of the lodges. The grand lodge paused long enough in its deliberations to listen to an oration by the grand orator upon the subject of Masonry and Eeligion. He appears to have handled the subject in a very satisfactory manner and made it very clear that sectarianism should be kept without the four walls of a Masonic lodge. The George Washington Memorial Association was approved and the sum of $100 contributed thereto. On motion the burial service as used by the grand lodge was adopted in a revised form, the subject having been in the hands of a committee during the year. No other business of importance appears to have been transacted. The report on Foreign Correspondence is prepared by Edward D. Van- derlieth. Illinois receives two and one-half pages of consideration. He characterizes the report of the grand master, Daniel G. Fitzgerrell, as excellent and states that he presented the business which passed through his hands in a lucid manner. The principal transactions of our session of 1919 are briefly mentioned. The report on correspondence prepared by this writer is commended and what was said upon the subject of physical qualifications is quoted in full. Concerning a comment in reference to a donation of $100 to the Y. W. C. A. which was made last year. Brother Vanderlieth observes that to do a good deed Masons need feel no fear of crowding the danger line. All this may be well and true, but the trouble is that if the fraternity donates to one society then the friends of all other societies expect a like favor, the result of which is to ultimately lead to trouble and friction. Harry H. Atkinson, G.M., Tonopah. Edward D. Vanderlieth, G.S., Eeno. I NEW BRUNSWICK, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The fifty-second annual communication opened in the city of St. John on Tuesday, April 22, 1919. Thomas Walker, grand master, presents an address to his grand lodge of the usual type and character. He has much to say concerning the great tragedy through which the world has passed. Masonic Correspondence 69 The grand master was liberal in the matter of his lodge visitations and from his report he shows that he went often to visit the lodges of his jurisdiction and strove to do whatever good he could among the craft. Among the recommendations which he made was one to provide a suitable protestajit orphanage. He made several special decisions so called, one related to the physi- cal qualification of candidates wherein he adheres strictly to the old rule of physical perfection. The grand secretary reports the total receipts of grand lodge to be $4,068. The jurisdiction made a net increase in membership for the year of eighty-three, giving it the total membership of nearly 4,000. It costs $6,114 to operate the grand lodge for the year from which it is apparent that an increase in revenue would be most desirable at the present time. The Committee on the Grand Master's Address found full favor with everything he said and approved all his acts and decisions. No further business of vital importance appears to have been trans- acted at this session. There is no report on foreign correspondence the proceeding as pre- sented being very brief and devoted to a resume of the actual trans- actions. Daniel Clark, G.M. J. Twining Harit, G.S. NEW HAMPSHIRE, F. & A. M. 1920 This grand lodge holds semi-annual communications. On December 30, 1919, the sixty-first semi-annual meeting was held at Freemasons' Hall in the city of Manchester. The report of the Committee on Credentials shows a full and com- plete representation of the lodges of the state. The only business which appears to have been transacted at this meeting was the conferring of the entered apprentice and fellow craft degrees, followed by a banquet. In the evening a lodge of Master Masons was opened and that degree con- ferred. After which the grand lodge was duly closed. 70 Appendix — Part I The annual communication was held May 19, 1920. At this session Harry G. Noycs, grand master, presented an address to the grand lodge of more than passing interest. He opens his remarks by referring to the disturbing conditions throughout the world and the need of a proper ap- plication of the principle of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. A complete list of dispensations issued is reported. It is observed that a lodge in New Hampshire desiring to wear Masonic clothing at the one hundredth anniversary of its constitution must procure a dispensation for the purpose. A large number of waivers of jurisdiction between the State of New Hampshire and other states is reported, as well as degrees conferred by courtesy. The grand master reports many visitations both within and without the jurisdiction which shows that he kept in very close contact with the general condition of the craft not only in his own state but in neighboring states as well. He reports that no lodges of instruction had been held up to the time of making his annual report. He deplores the omission of these valu- able schools and hopes the grand lodge will see that something is done to enable them to be held. The George Washington Masonic Memorial Association is fully endorsed, as well as the Masonic Service Association. Attention is called to the Masonic Home which the grand master says has not funds enough to make it what it ought to be. He urges that some action should be taken among the Masons of New Hampshire to raise suf- ficient funds to give this home all that it needs. Among the suggestions and recommendations which he makes is that five cents per capita be levied for the Masonic Service Association and the sum of $500 per year be set aside for the Washington Memorial Asso- ciation. An amendment to the constitution of the grand lodge was adopted at this session, declaring that no lodge shall confer either of the degrees upon more than one candidate at the same time or more than five degrees at the same meeting or on the same day. This provision also permitted the col- lective obligating of candidates in the first section of the degrees. An amendment was also adopted accepting those physically defective who were able to comply with Masonic requirements by the use of artificial appliances. The Committee on Finance report the total receipts of the grand lodge to have been $17,6G0 and the expenditures $13,300. The total number of Masonic Correspondence 71 Masons raised during the year was 1,232. The state enjoj-ed a net increase in membership of 727, giving it a total membership of 12,247. The election and installation of officers closed the session. The report on foreign relations is prepared by Henry N. Cheney, grand secretary. Illinois receives one and one-fourth pages of very courteous review. There is no fault found with any of our transactions. The re- viewer states that our proceedings are entirely too big to be reviewed in the space allotted to him. Some very nice things are said concerning the report on foreign correspondence for which the writer is duly grateful. Harry G. Noyes, G.M., Gorham. Harry M. Cheney, G.S., Concord. NEW JERSEY, F. & A. M. 1920 The city of Trenton entertained the Grand Lodge of New Jersey in its annual communication which was held on Wednesday and Thursday, April 21st and 22nd, 1920. The role of grand representatives shows the presence of Richard C. Woodward, the ambassador from Illinois. The first business of importance was the address of the grand master, William L. Daniels. He refers to the great growth in Masonic membership which the state of New Jersey has experienced during the year and the fact that peace and harmony have prevailed. Tributes of respect are paid to those who have passed on during the year. A long report is made concerning the trouble experienced with German speaking lodges during the year and the fact that one lodge refused to carry out the orders of the grand master in reference to working in English. The state was re-districted, the boundary lines being rearranged but the number of districts retained. The condition of the Masonic home is referred to and the need of additional revenue to sustain this institution is emphasized. The grand master recommends an increase in the per capita tax to $1 and that each initiate be required to pay $10 toward the support of the Home instead of $5.50 as now. The work of the Home is highly commended. The grand master deplores the fact that the Grand Lodge of New Jersey has not availed itself of the assistance of the Order of the Eastern Star which he seems to think would lessen the burdens of the grand lodge if the assistance of the twinkler family could be drawn upon. 72 Appendix- — Part I An increase in the salary of the grand secretary of $1,000 per year ia urged. The George Washington Memorial Association is very strongly recom- mended and the grand master very pertinently states in reference to the erection of the proposed memorial that the work will be done ' ' whether we get into it or not." He seems to think that proper state pride should impel the brethren of New Jersey to do their part. The Masonic Service Association is referred to and its charter and rules of procedure are rehearsed in detail. The Grand Master seems to think that the state of New Jersey can not afford to remain outside of such an organization and places the subject before the grand lodge with the hearty recommendation that it co-operate with the organization. Eeference is made in the address of the grand master to the matter of proi)er bonding of subordinate lodge ofBcers. The question of blanket insurance is discussed and a recommendation made that such a plan be adopted by the grand lodge. The statement is made that 297 applications were made to initiate physical defects. The grand master states that he waived 262, refused 28 and had 7 cases pending. He seems to think that the present rule as now operating in New Jersey places upon the grand master an immense amount of labor. A recommendation is made that a proper medal be awarded to each soldier from the state who participated in the work of the great war. In his closing remarks the grand m^ter has a great deal to say about the purpose and scope of Freemasonry and discusses in a very interesting manner the question as to whether the fraternity should confine its activities exclusively to its own sphere or should participate in various enterprises for social uplift. The grand treasurer reports receipts of $159,728 and disbursements of $123,000, showing that the grand lodge kept well within its income. The grand secretary in his report reports the total number of Master Masons in the state to be 55,083; a net gain for the year of 5,295. The Committee on Masonic Home makes a characteristic report and states that a new form of application for admission has been adopted in which much red tape has been eliminated. The Committee on Rituals made a most interesting report in reference to a petition which had been presented for the restoration of the German ritual. Their conclusions were that no secret society should exist whose ritual, proceedings and records are in any language but that of the country in which it is placed. Masonic Correspondence 73 The Grand Lodge of New Jersey evidently believes in making good use of its time, for on the evening of the first day the brethren assembled and witnessed an exemplification of the work. A long report of the London Peace Celebration was made by Austin H. McGregor, past grand master, who evidently attended that function and appears to have enjoyed it immensely, judging from what he had to say concerning his entertainment. New Jersey is endeavoring to support the George Washington Memorial Association by voluntary contributions from the Masons of the state. No business of startling or alarming character appears to have been transacted and the grand lodge closed with the usual installation of officers. The report on Foreign Correspondence is from the pen of Robert A. Shirrefs. He devotes ninety-one pages to the consideration of the trans- actions of the various grand jurisdictions. Illinois is given one and one- half pages of review. The report of Grand Master Fitzgerrell is con- sidered briefly and reference made to various acts transacted by the grand lodge during the session. Brother Shirrefs states that Illinois has had reason to thoroughly enjoy the annual orations delivered to the grand lodge and says that the one delivered by Edward J. Brundage was quite up to the Illinois standard. The correspondence report is referred to by Brother Shirrefs as especially good. He said some other very complimentary things for which the writer is duly grateful. Cooper H. Prickitt, G.M., Trenton. Isaac Cherry, G.S., Trenton. NEW MEXICO, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The annual communication, the forty-second was held in the city of Albuquerque, on Monday, February 16. There not being a constitutional number of lodges represented owing to the health restrictions throughout the state, the grand lodge was called from labor to refreshment until March 15 at which time it re-assembled and after the usual preliminaries listened to the report of the grand mas- ter, Alex D. Goldberg. The report for the most part is a very carefully prepared detailed statement of the various actions performed by the grand master. 74 Appendix — Part I The list of dispensations issued is an extremely long one and were for the most part for legitimate purposes and related mainly to the con- ferring of degrees. There are 55 lodges in the State of New Mexico and during the year the district deputy grand masters visited 36 of them. Five decisions were rendered by the grand master, one was that no lodge can be convened on Sunday except to perform funeral ceremonies. One dispensation for the formation of a new lodge was issued. Pour lodges were consecrated and dedicated during the year and one dormant lodge was brought to realize the necessity of greater activity and later on was converted into one of the livest lodges of the state. The grand master has something to say about the action of the Grand Lodge of Ehode Island in establishing an overseas lodge in Coblenz, Ger- many. It seems that considerable trouble arose by reason of the fact that this lodge appropriated material which did not belong to them. The Grand Lodge of New York is highly commended for its action in looking after members of the fraternity of New Mexico who arrived from Europe either sick or wounded. The George Washington Memorial Association is commended and the grand master suggests to the grand lodge the advisibility of participating in the woik \Yhieh that association has underway. Under the head of discipline is a very curious item stating that for "intentional discourtesy and for absenting himself on a mission of pleasure on the occasion of my official visit to the lodge I suspended the secretary from the office and immediately appointed a successor." The Masonic Service Association is fully reviewed and its objects and purposes clearly set forth. The subject is laid before the grand lodge for such action as it may desire to take. The grand master thinks that the Grand Lodge of New Mexico should have permanent headquarters. He recommends that some action be taken toward establishing the grand lodge in a permanent location. A very eloquent appeal is made by the grand master for the estab- lishment of a Masonic Home Fund. He very wisely says that the time has come when the Grand Lodge of New Mexico must assume its share of the burden of caring for those who are unable to care for themselves. He says: "We must practice what we preach." He believes that some modification in the law relating to physical qualifications should be Masonic Correspondence 75 made and presents the subject to the grand lodge for its earnest consid- eration. A number of recommendations are made by the grand master which show very clearly that during the time he filled his office he was keenly observant of what was going on among the craft and of the general way and manner in which lodges conducted their affairs. This enabled him to gain knowledge at first hand which he presented to the grand lodge in the form of some recommendations which will no doubt result to the best interests of all concerned. The total receipts of the grand lodge from all sources were $9,814 and the expenditures $8,225. New Mexico enjoyed its full share of Masonic prosperity an3 shows a very satisfactory net gain of 425 for the year. The principal business transacted resulted in an increase in the grand secretary's salary of $300 per year. The proposition to fix the minimum fees for conferring degrees at $60 went into the hands of the Committee on Jurisprudence but there is noth- ing to show that this committee made a report upon the subject at the annual meeting, under consideration. Election and installation of officers, and presentation of the jewel closed the session. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by John Milne. He considers the subject topically and quotes from proceedings of other grand jurisdictions under the heads and titles which he considers as worthy of recognition. The topical review is no doubt all right but no one as yet seems to have been able to deduce a plan whereby a proper recital of the affairs of the various lodges can be given topically and still furnish the same in- formation which is given when the review is made state by state. Eichard H. Hanna, G.M. Alpheus A. Keen, G.S. 70 Appendix — Fart I NEW SOUTH WALES, A. F. & A. M. 1919 This grand lodge holds quarterly communications "which makes its proceedings very difficult to review if anything like a continuity of thought is to be presented, hence some very brief references will be made to such acts as the grand lodge performed. Inasmuch as the Board of General Purposes assumes the usual func- tions of the grand master, following the English custom, that officer is more or less of a social figurehead. He does not have very much to say and leaves the board to report the general transactions as they occur during each quarter. One thing is noticeable and that is the grand inspectors go thor- oughly into detail as to what they discover in making the rounds of lodges which they visited. It would be very interesting to the writer to have the district deputies of Illinois make as thorough an inspection as is recorded in the proceedings of New South Wales and then print same in the grand lodge proceedings. There is no doubt but what there would be a whole lot of explaining done on the part of certain lodges that don't care how things are done just so they get through with it. In New South Wales lodges are not permitted to wear regalia with- out the sanction of the grand lodge. The number of dispensations for this purpose are many. At the special communication held December 17 quite a formal ad- dress was made by the grand master in which he made many references to the war and lessons to be drawn therefrom. The proceedings of this grand lodge do not reveal that anything of extraordinary character was transacted during the year. All the acts appear to have been merely relating to the care and perpetuation of the time-honored customs and traditions of the fraternity. The report on foreign correspondence is undoubtedly prepared by a committee; S. S. Y. are the initials appended to the review of Illinois. This document covers two pages in which the various transactions of our proceedings for 1918 are given consideration and no criticism offered. S. S. Y. says some very nice things about the report on foreign cor- respondence and refers to the review of the various grand jurisdictions as an education. William Thompson, G.M. Arthur H. Bray, G.S., Sydney. Masonic Correspondence 77 NEW YORK, F. & A. M. 1920 The one hundred thirty-ninth annual communication was held in the city of New York, opening at two o 'clock on the afternoon of May 4. The roll of representatives does not show the ambassador from Illinois to have been present. The address of the grand master, William S. Farmer, is an extensive document covering forty-five pages of printed matter. He mentions under necrology the death of Austin H. Scrogin who died April 26, 1919. The dispensations issued were for the usual purposes. Nothing out of the ordinary being mentioned. It appears from the report that each year the grand master makes an official visitation with his staff to the Masonic Home. On this occasion which occurred in September, 1919, an extended address was delivered to the district deputy grand masters in which the general condition of the craft was reviewed and their duties generally set forth. The grand master reports that the new hospital at Utica being erected by the war and relief administration is well under way and that it is ex- pected to furnish the building with funds collected from the several lodges. The Grand Lodge of New York evidently has had foresight enough to see that the future success of Masonic Homes depends on proper endow- ment. The grand master calls attention to proposed amendments now before the grand lodge providing that for each person initiated the sum of $13.50 shall be paid to the trustees of the hall and asylum fund to be held as a perpetual trust. Other grand lodges will do well to heed the action taken by the Grand Lodge of New York for the creation of endowment' funds is vitally neces- sary to the future maintenance of the charitable institutions which Free- masons maintain. Concerning a common language in America the grand master well says: "The problem here is to have a common language as national cement. It is a political matter and not a cultural one, although some confuse the two things and deem it narrow to exclude the alien tongues. Depend upon it, brethren, we must look forward to the time when the foreign language press and the foreign language church and the foreign language lodge fra- ternity are ended, except as able to survive among those who know English as well. Grand Master Farmer makes one suggestion which should be taken home by every Masonic lodge in the country and that is the idea of preach- 78 Appendix — Part I ing to every member of the fraternity, the necessity of being true to the government of the country. Nine dispensations for the establishment of new lodges were issued during the year. The splendid work done by the sea and field lodges is highly com- mended. The Masonic Eelief Association of the United States and Canada re- ceives hearty endorsement. Concerning the law requiring an interim of seven days between the conferring of the degrees the opinion expressed is that the grand master should have power to grant dispensations waiving the time limit in cases of emergency. Grand Master Farmer believes in Masonic education and states that one panacea for our present national ailments is to be found in education. He says he believes in Masonic education and that lodges should organize in order to properly educate and instruct the membership. Grand Master Farmer evidently has come to an understanding of the basic trouble in Freemasonry today, for the following paragraph sets forth the whole trouble in a very concise manner — We have talked much of its universality, but when we come down to the final analysis, all jurisdictions are more or less pro- vincial, and, in their association with each other find themselves divided by barriers for which there would be found little justifica- tion, were a perfect understanding had and the differences dis- cussed in a conciliatory and sympathetic spirit; and, of course, all this without any departure from ancient landmarks or standards. He thinks that the Grand Lodge of New York ought to support the George Washington Memorial Association and makes a recommendation to that effect. The grand secretary gives the receipts of the year as $321,976.57. Eighteen thousand were raised to the sublime degree of Master Masons bringing the total membership in the State of New York to 234,894. The grand lecturer reports the holding of forty schools of instruction. The grand lodge maintains a library. Six hundred and ten dollars was paid for an attendant and $1,262 for books, magazines and maintenances. The report of the Committee on Deceased Brethren is brief. A very interesting history of Masonry in the State of New York is presented by the grand historian. The abduction of William Morgan is discussed at considerable length. Masonic CorTespondence 79 The Committee on Jurisprudence present a report in which they gave their opinion that the brethren of a lodge may at will collectively join in civic processions, but Masonic clothing and insignia can be used, carried or (and) worn only when engaged in Masonic duties. The report of the Overseas Mission is interesting but entirely too long for reproduction here. The Finance Committee increased the salary of the grand secretary from $6,000 to $7,500 and allowed him $10,600 for clerk hire. The Grand Lodge of New York evidently believes in getting a good man for the job and then paying him what he is worth. The election and installation of officers closed the session. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by a committee of which William Sherer is chairman. The report in general covers seventy pages. Illinois is given one-half page of consideration. He finds no particular fault with any of our transactions and is very generous in commending the correspondence report of the writer. Robert H. Eobinson, G.M. Eobert Judson Kcnworthy, G.S. NEW ZEALAND, A. F. & A. M. 1919 * The proceedings which are under review record the transactions of the thirtieth annual communication. The report states that there are in the jurisdiction 206 active lodges with an aggregate membership of 15,026. The grand master does not make any extended report of his trans- actions. The first business done at this session was the election of officers after which there were reports of various committees. The Grand Lodge of New Zealand is very zealous in the matter of Masonic charity and the balance sheet which is submitted shows that the lodges have been generous in contributing to this fund. There are a number of trust funds which have been established which while not large in amount, yet show a disposition on the part of 80 Appendix — Part I .the craft to place the matter of Masonic charity upon a substantial foundation. The principal business of the grand lodge is transacted through what is called the Board of General Purpose. They in fact assume many of the functions of the grand master. The board made a report on the question of physical qualification ex- pressing the thought that the Grand Lodge of New Zealand should modify its rules to conform to those recently adopted by the Grand Lodge of England whereby greater latitude may be allowed in the matter of initiating those possessing physical defects. The question of recognizing French Freemasonry came up and an extension of time was asked for by the committee which had this sub- ject in charge. The report of the craft was that it was in a very thriving con- dition. The grand secretary reported but one dilatory lodge after which the officers were installed for the ensuing year. The grand master made an address, after which the grand lodge indulged in a social function at which ladies were present. There is no report on foreign correspondence, the remainder of the proceedings being given entirely to various tables and statistics. Justice Herdman, G.M. Chas. W. Nielsen, G.E. NORTH CAROLINA, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The one hundred and thirty-second annual communication was held in the Masonic Temple in the city of Ealeigh on Tuesday evening, January 21st, 1919. Illinois was represented by its ambassador, B. T. Wilson. The first business of importance was the address of the grand master, George S. Norfleet. He refers to the close of the war and the number of valiant deeds done by the soldier Masons of North Carolina. He states that when he entered upon the duties of his office that he had a hard task before him but that he applied himself zealously and has done everything in his power to discharge the responsibilities of his office in a proper manner. Masonic Correspondence 81 From his report the idea is gleaned that the Grand Lodge of North and South Carolina joined in an effort to properly look after the welfare of the soldier Masons from those states and the work was carried forward in a manner which reflects great credit upon these two splendid jurisdictions. One lodge had its charter arrested for an invasion of jurisdiction and the fact that all three degrees were conferred upon the candidate in one night. The worshipful master of one lodge was removed for un-Masonic conduct. The grand master states that he made forty so-called decisions but that after considering the cases he has reached the conclusion that they are nothing more than interpretations of the law of the jurisdiction. Concerning district deputy grand masters he observed that he has had teports from quite a number of district deputies but there are also others from whom he has no communication of any kind since he appointed them and he does not even know whether they received their commissions or not. Of course the grand master issued the usual number of dispensations. It is quite fashionable in Masonic circles to look upon the grand master as a vehicle for making it easy to do things which are forbidden by law. North Carolina did its full share of work by courtesy for the record of degrees conferred is a long one showing that the lodges were generous in complying with requests from other grand jurisdictions. During the year four new lodges were organized. One thing the grand master had done during his term of office was the making of a proper index to the code. He states that this work has been accomplished and that the Book of Constitutions can now be readily referred to. The George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association is heartily commended and the growth and condition of the order commented upon and declared to be most gratifying. The number of initiates were 2,445 and the net increase in membership was the greatest in the history of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina. The grand master recommended that the grand secretary bo allowed additional clerk hire and suggested that the salary of his office during the coming year be fixed at $2,400. The recommendation was also made that some means be made to increase the revenue of the grand lodge and the suggestion offered that the per capita tax of the grand lodge be increased from $1 to $1.50 and that the lodges be required to pay into the grand lodge treasury $10 for each initiate. As the minimum fees for the degrees are now $15 it is believed that it would be to the best interests of the craft if this increase was made. 82 Appendix — Part I The Board of Trustees of the Masonic Home makes a report which is very interesting. They state that a grand total of 425 children were cared for in the institution and that these children were not only provided with all the comforts of home but at the same time were given education and vocational training. The Grand Lodge of North Carolina received an extended report con- cerning the Masonic Service Association and voted to join the organization and become a part of this new propaganda. The principal business transacted appears to be largely routine in char- acter, nothing out of the ordinary arose to claim the attention of the representatives. The report on Foreign Correspondence is prepared by Marshall D. Haywood. Illinois receives a page and a half of very generous consideration. There is no criticism found with any of our transactions and whatever quo- tations are given are simply presented without comment. Henry A. Grady, G.M., Clinton. Wm. W. Wilson, G.S., Ealeigh. NORTH DAKOTA, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The thirtieth annual communication designated as the Victory Meeting was held at Grand Forks on June 17th and 18th, 1919. It did not take the grand lodge but very few minutes to get down to business and the first thing done was the presentation of the annual ad- dress of the grand master. In his opening remarks he says that Masons have throughout history been leaders in thought and action and at the present time they must help others to do clear thinking and to face in a rational way the great problems of peace and reconstruction. It seems that some disorganization existed among the' craft in the State of North Dakota due to the epidemic of influenza Avhich suspended work in many lodges and it required quite a little time to restore normal conditions. The grand master found time to visit six district meetings and states that he granted an unusual number of dispensations, but most of them were to cover unusual occasions,' many of which grew out of the unsettled condition of affairs. Masonic Correspondence 83 He reports no decisions, stating that while he had a great many cases for interpretation of Masonic law, yet none of his answers could be digni- fied by the name or title of decisions. One thing the grand master calls attention to is the fact that a large number of members of the craft who were convicted in the criminal courts were likewise tried in their Masonic lodges and acquitted. He seems to think that the situation is serious enough to demand the attention of the grand lodge with a view to a change in the criminal code so that those convicted in the courts might likewise receive proper discipline in Masonry. It appears that the state of North Dakota took a fall out of the Grotto for a petition was presented to the grand master asking that the con- demnatory action of the grand lodge be reconsidered. The grand master referred the subject to the grand lodge with a recommendation that a hear- ing upon the question be granted. A recommendation was made that new Eituals and Monitors be issued owing to the fact that the present supply of these books is exhausted. The George Washington Memorial Association was endorsed and proper reference made to the Peace Jubilee held by the Grand Lodge of England. The grand master expressed regret at not being able to be present at this important function. The Masonic Service Association is fully exploited and the subject left to the grand lodge for its consideration. The grand treasurer gives his total receipts as approximately $12,000 and his disbursements as $9,889. The grand secretary presents quite a complete resume of the principal events which passed through his hands and shows the net Increase for the year to be 565. The present membership of the lodges of North Dakota is given at 11,612. One thing the grand secretary recommends is more time for the grand lodge. He thinks the grand lodge ought to hold a three days' meeting and that on one of the evening sessions the three degrees should be exemplified for the benefit of the brethren in attendance. The grand secretary has something to say about the English language measure and emphasizes the necessity of all education being conducted in the English language in all schools whether public, parochial or private. It is apparent that the grand lodge is maintaining a very substantial library for the report of the Librarian shows substantial finances on hand for this project and that a librarian of ability is in charge of the collection of books and periodicals. The report of the Finance Committee shows total receipts of $17,500 and general disbursements of almost $10,000. 84 Appendix — Part I One committee of the grand lodge is that on Good of the Order, but the committee makes but a brief report in which they commend the Ma- sonic Service Association and the George Washington Masonic Memorial Association and announce that they know of nothing now before the Ma- sonic world of vital concern. Quite a long report is made on the question of recognizing French Freemasonry and a committee presents a recommendation that fraternal relations be established. The evening of the first day was given over to a general program in which there were addresses and the singing of patriotic songs by those present. TTie grand lodge voted to join the Masonic Service Association and likewise voted to make a special drive for funds in the interest of the George Washington Masonic Memorial Association. It appears from the proceedings that the grand lecturer acts in a dual capacity as he likewise is auditor, from which it is inferred that he looks over the books and accounts of the various lodges and sees that they are in proper condition. From the report of the Committee on Chartered Lodges the idea is gained that North Dakota has not profited from the large increase in membership as has other Masonic organizations, as the net increase in mem- bership is barely 400. The report on Foreign Correspondence is prepared by Grant S. Hager, past grand master. Illinois is given two pages of very generous consid- eration. Liberal quotations are taken from the address of Austin H. Scrogin, grand master, and all that he said upon the subject of physical qualifications is quoted in full. Concerning the report on correspondence he expresses the thought that unlimited time must be at the command of the Illinois reviewer as well as unlimited money, and says that the review is full, fair and discriminating. Ami! P. Lenhart, G.M., Bismarck. Walter L. Stockwell, G.S., Fargo. Masonic Correspondence 85 NOVA SCOTIA, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The annual communication announced is the fifty-fourth assembled at New Glasgow on Wednesday June 11, 1919. Before entering upon its labors the grand lodge indulged in a re- ligious service at which a very able oration was pronounced by the grand chaplain, Kobert Johnston. The grand master, John Hay, presented an address wherein he set forth in a clear concise manner the various acts which he performed during his term of ofl&ce. He refers to the League of Nations and endorses that document as evidence of the fulfillment of the Masonic plan of universal brotherhood. He says that the epidemic of influenza reached Nova Scotia and had a disastrous effect on lodge meetings. The lodge visits received individual mention and a brief account of the courtesies extended are given in the grand master's report. One thing the grand lodge did the previous year was to take action toward the establishment of a Masonic periodical to be fathered by the grand lodge. The grand master says he found this a splendid medium of communication among the lodges of the state. A number of questions were submitted to the grand master, many of them relating to physical qualifications. From the answers it ap- pears that Nova Scotia adheres to the old idea of physical perfection. The grand master issued many dispensations, many of them grant- ing permission to confer degrees in less time than prescribed by the grand lodge. Considerable is mentioned about the Masonic Home. It appears that the cost of maintaining the home had increased so materially that there was a shortage of funds. The question was presented to the grand lodge and an effort made to create an endowment fund of $100,000 in order to perpetuate this splendid Masonic charity. The grand master closes his address with some very complimentary references to the grand secretary and to his devotion to his office and duties. There are in Nova Scotia seventy-five chartered lodges with a total membership of 7,455. The increase in membership during the year is reported as most satisfactory. 86 Appendix! — Part I The report of the Special Committee on Periodical is interesting. They state that a 16-page monthly publication could be issued at a cost of $150 per month. This is sure better than some of us are able to do in Illinois. The report of the district deputy grand masters which are made to the grand lodge are interesting and show that in Nova Scotia there is a very thorough and complete system of investigation and visitation. Each lodge is taken up in detail and a report of the conditions as found are made to the grand lodge. One of the most interesting items in the proceedings is a report from the custodians of the work. It appears that the ritual in Nova Scotia is undergoing an evolution. The committee reports that they have taken certain extracts from the ritual of New York, Massachusetts and other states and have em- bodied them into their own ritual. This only goes to prove what this writer has always commended that the ritual which we have today is not the ritual of 200 years ago, but is simply the result of evolution, growth, and development wherein bright minds made additions from time to time. In the welcoming the grand representative of other grand jurisdic- tions the name of John F. Frazer representing Illinois appears. During the closing hours of the grand lodge the Committee on Juris- prudence were of the opinion that the great latitude should be allowed in the matters of conferring the degrees upon soldiers and sailors who had been wounded in the great war. The grand lodge concurred in the recommendation. The report on correspondence is prepared by James C. Jones, grand secretary. He gives Illinois four pages of consideration and in a very brief manner chronicles the principal events of the session of 1918. He refers to the fact that Grand Master Scrogin conferred the Master Masons degree on the grand master of the Odd Fellows and says that the circumstance could not have happened in Nova Scotia for the reason that the grand master of the Odd Fellows is an officer of the grand lodge of that jurisdiction. The correspondence report as prepared by the writer is commended very highly. Modesty forbids a repetition of the various generous com- pliments extended. George Dewar MacDougall, G.M. James C. Jones, G.S. Masonic Correspondence 87 OHIO, F. & A. M. 1919 It requires just 79 pages to record the transactions of the 110th annual communication of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, which was held in the city of Toledo October 15 and 16, 1919. The address of the grand master, Isaac Kinsey, is a brief pointed document in which he records the principal transactions of his office during the year. In his opening remarks he refers to the large number of candidates that are entering our lodges and says that never in our history has Ma- sonic duty been laid more heavily upon us. He announces the appointment of Horace Irving, past grand master, as grand treasurer succeeding Ealph R. Eickley, deceased. One hundred five dispensations for various purposes were granted and a number refused. ,^A11 requests to participate in public parades and to confer degrees in less than the prescribed time were refused on the ground that the grand master lacked authority to grant dispensations for these purposes. Six dispensations for the formation of new lodges were issued. Three Masonic Temples dedicated and the corner-stone of a Y. M. C. A. build- ing laid. Ohio provides twenty-five district lecturers whose business it is to visit and instruct the lodges of the state. The grand master commends these officers for their faithful per- formance of duty. The list of by-laws approved and disapproved is a long one. The Grand Lodge of Ohio evidently proposes to see that its con- stituents do not enact any legislation which is in conflict with its standing regulations. The grand master made an unusually large number of visits to the lodges of the state showing a disposition on his part to mingle with the brethren. The Masonic Home is highly commended and the brethren of the jurisdiction are urged to visit it and inspect its general workings. No decisions were rendered and all matters submitted were easily disposed of by referring to the code. 88 Appendices — Part I The grand master recommends that the grand lodge consider the George Washington Masonic Memorial Association and come to some decision as to whether membership is to be desired in said organization. The grand treasurer shows the grand lodge to be in the most excel- lent condition financially with ample revenue and its affairs administered in an economical manner. The report of the grand secretary is interesting showing that 11,866 were raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason and a net gain for the year made of 9,710 giving the state a total membership of 132,053'. The report of the Committee on Necrology briefly mentions the passing of Austin H. Scrogin and Monroe C. Crawford, two beloved members of Illinois. The Grand Lodge of Ohio like many other grand lodges experienced some difficulties with the sea and field lodges established by the Grand Lodge of New York. The question of accepting dimits from sea and field lodges came up and the conclusions reached were that the Grand Lodge of Ohio could not recognize dimits from said lodges. The chairman of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence presented a report wherein he recommends that the grand lodge does not take mem- bership in the George Washington National Memorial Association and the grand lodge adopted the recommendation. The election and installation of officers were closing acts of the session. One thing the grand lodge did was to increase the grand secretary's salary from $2,500 to $3,600 which was done without a dissenting voice. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by a committee of which F. H. Marquis is chairman. The report is complete and goes well into detail concerning the trans- actions of the various jurisdictions. Illinois is given five pages of generous consideration. The review is devoid of criticisms showing that what we did met with the approval of the reviewer. Considerable space is given to the action of the grand lodge in ref- erence to German-speaking lodges and much is quoted on that subject. The reviewer says : ' ' That the eternal question of physical qualifica- tions is ever before us." And so it will be until Masonry advances sufficiently far in its evolu- tion to shake off the shakles of narrowness and prejudice which it has in- Masonic Correspondence 89 herited from the past and is able to view the subject in a fair impas- sioned and consistent manner. Mathew Smith, G.M. J. H. Bromwell, G.S. OKLAHOMA, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The twelfth annual communication was held in the city of Guthrie, February 24, 25 and 26, 1920. There were the usual preliminary open- ing ceremonies consisting of the report of the Committee on Credentials and the address of welcome which was duly responded to, after which the Committee on Eules of Order made a report, submitting the various items of business to be considered and the order in which they were to be taken up. The roll of grand representatives was called and Illinois responded to by Fred S. Walker. The grand master not being able to be present on account of ill- ness the grand lodge was presided over by the deputy grand master, Frank Alvin Derr, who presented the annual address of the grand master. The report was complete in every detail and in his opening remarks he has something to say to the younger members of the grand lodge. He urges them to take an interest in its affairs and to be prepared to assume the burdens which sooner or later must fall upon their shoulders. Twelve emergency communications of the grand lodge were con- vened for the purpose of laying corner-stones and dedicating Masonic Temples. Four new lodges were constituted, indicating that the craft is gradually expanding in the state. The number of dispensations issued for the formation of new lodges was six, vrhile two lodges consolidated. The list of dispensations for general purposes issued by the grand master is not a long one, showing that he was disposed to keep within the provisions of the law. Two lodges whicu applied to the grand master for permission to send out begging letters were denied their appeal. The grand master mentions the Shrine picnic which was held at Oklahoma City, at which the children from the Masonic Home were de- lightfully entertained. The Washington Memorial Association is endorsed and reference is made to a blanket insurance policy which was made to cover the offices of the grand treasurer, grand secretary, as well as the secretaries of the subordinate lodges. 90 Appendix — Part I The Masonic Service Association is fully exploited and it is ap- parent that Oklahoma has joined this organization for the reason that a request is made for the payment of the first assessment. The reports of the district deputy grand masters which are sub- mitted as a part of the grand master's report are not very complete in detail and deal with the duties of their respective oflfices in a general way only. The grand master states that he visited thirty-five lodges during the time he was in office. He rendered twenty-nine decisions, a number of them however appear to be of only passing interest and are purely interpretation of the local law. The grand master reports a net increase in membership of 4,345, giving the State of Oklahoma 40,545 Master Masons. The grand lodge controls the sale and distribution of its Monitor, the report of the grand secretary showing that about five thousand were sold in one year. From the report of the treasurer the idea is gained that the grand lodge is in a splendid condition financially and is operating at a very substantial profit. A very complete report concerning the Masonic Home library is made. The grand lodge is to be congratulated upon its efforts to col- lect books that will prove interesting and instructive. The report of the Board of Control of the Masonic Home is com- plete and goes much into detail. The report shows that the grand lodge is doing its full duty toward those dependent upon it. Quite a discus- sion came up in the grand lodge over the removal of the Masonic Home. It appears that the Consistory at Guthrie offered to turn over its build- ing in that city to be used for the Masonic Home. After much argument pro and con the offer was accepted. During the closing hours the grand secretary was given an increase in salary, his compensation being raised to $3,000 per year. The report on foreign correspondence is made by Thomas C. Hum- phry. He considers Illinois in two pages of very interesting matter. He refers to the short space of time required in issuing the proceedings of our grand lodge and compliments the grand secretary, saying, "There are no flies on him." Very liberal references are made to some of the acts of the Grand Lodge of Illinois for the year 1919. The amendment relating to physical qualifications is quoted in full and the comment made that the trend of Masonic opinion is toward a more liberal inter- pretation of the law of physical affection. In the review there is nothing J Masonic Correspondence 91 offered of a critical character showing that our acts must have been pleasing to our brother frona Oklahoma. Frank Alvin Derr, G.M., Guthrie. Wm. M. Anderson, G.S., Oklahoma City. OREGON, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The seventieth annual communication was held in the Knights of Pythias building in Portland on Wednesday, June 16th. Immediately following the roll call the reception of grand representa- tives took place and Illinois was represented by C. E. Minsinger. The first business of importance was the address of the grand master, Earl C. Bronaugh. He referred to the year just closing as one of un- paralleled activity in Masonry and speculates upon the cause of the un- precedented demand for Masonic degrees. The state of Oregon has been correcting certain errors and omissions in its ritual, a special committee having been appointed for that purpose. Some question arose in the state during the preceding year concerning the matter of referring all questions relating to the interpretation of law to the Committee on Jurisprudence. The grand master however takes the view that all these questions should go first to the grand master and his opinion be rendered thereon and that this is the best means of promoting harmony. The abuse of the ballot is referred to and the grand master makes some very caustic remarks about those who are so cowardly as to use the ballot to vent a spite. Seven decisions are reported by the grand master but there are none of them of extraordinary importance as they relate for the most part to local matters. Three new lodges were instituted during the year and the corner-stones of two lodge buildings were laid. It appears from the proceedings that the grand lodge operates a Ma- sonic Building Association through which it is possible for lodges which want to establish homes of their own to secure proper financial assistance. The number of dispensations which were issued during the year is un- usually large and the grand master has some very pertinent remarks to 92 Appendix — Part I make concerning the tendency to railroad candidates through in order that they may procure the higher degrees. He states that whenever it became apparent that a dispensation was wanted for this purpose that he took pains to refuse to grant the same. The grand lodge is asked to place some construction upon the law re- lating to physical qualifications. He states that one of the landmarks is the prerogative of the grand master to make Masons at sight and for that reason he should be trusted with the power to issue dispensations to initiate those who have been maimed or are otherwise physically defective. He expresses the hope that there should be a little progressiveness upon this subject without any infringement of the ancient landmarks. An earnest plea is made for the establishment of a Masonic Home in the state. The grand master calls attention to the fact that no funds are available for this purpose and that the grand lodge should take up the subject and arrange to put the matter in tangible form. He believes that the Eastern Star should be allowed to co-operate in the enterprize and recommends that a committee be appointed for the purpose of establishing a home to consist of three from the members of the grand lodge and three from the Order of the Eastern Star. The nineteenth landmark is taken up and discussed at length and the grand master unqualifiedly places his seal of approval upon a belief in God and proper duty to one's country. It is a matter of regret that his re- marks on this subject can not be reproduced here. The grand treasurer reports receipts of almost $40,000 and expendi- tures of a like amount. From the report of the grand secretary the information is gathered that in Oregon there are practically 18,000 Masons. The number initiated during the year 1919 was 2,286, The business transacted at this session of the grand lodge was largely routine in character. The Committee on Correspondence reported adversely on the recognition of the Grand Lodge of Vienna and asked for further time in which to consider the status of other grand lodges. The Jurisprudence Committee evidently have a good deal to do for the proceedings show a large number of reports made by them. One was to the effect that the grand secretary be allowed an annual salary of $3,000. A large number of other reports were made by this committee, most of them relating to local constructions of law. The grand orator was unable to be present at the session but prepared a very excellent address which was read to the grand lodge. The proceedings contain quite a long document relating to a memo- randum of agreement between the Masons and the Eastern Star which shows Masonic Correspondence 93 that those two organizations propose to get together and erect an institu- tion that will be a credit to the Masons of the state. The installation of the grand officers and the presentation of the cus- tomary apron closed the session. TTie report on Foreign Correspondence was prepared by David P. Mason and he gives Illinois four and one-half pages of very generous considera- tion, quoting liberally from the address of Grand Master Daniel G. Fitz- gerrell and reproducing the memorial address of Past Grand Master Owen Scott delivered in memory of Brother Austin H. Scrogin. He refers to the address of Grand Master Fitzgerrell as showing a fine spirit of optimism. What this writer said upon the subject of physical qualifications is quoted in full and the circular sent out by the Grand Master of Illinois on the subject of the Masonic Service Association is also reproduced. Brother Mason has been very generous to Illinois in his report and extreme regret is expressed that the compliment can not be returned at this time. William J. Kerr, G.M., Corvallis. Jas. F. Eobinson, G.S., Portland. PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, F. & A. M. 1920 The Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands is of course a juvenile but healthy Masonic body. The eighth annual communication was held January 27th, 1920, in the city of Manila. The grand lodge opened at four o'clock in the afternoon with a good deal of formality during which there was a program of music, the introduc- tion of distinguished visitors, addresses of welcome and a luncheon. One of the first items of interest was a presentation to the grand lodge of the history of Masonry in the Philippine Islands. This no doubt proved interesting to the members of the fraternity. The first real business of importance was of course the address of the grand master, Milton E. Springer. The message was presented in printed form and was received without reading, a very unusual procedure. In his opening remarks the grand master dilates upon the subject of Freemasonry and sets forth very clearly its object and purpose. He states that he visited 47 lodges of his jurisdiction during the year and has been received with uniform cordiality wherever he appeared. He reports a net gain in membership of 554. 94 Appendioi^ — Part I One thing the grand master says that ought to be remembered by all Masons and that is that Freemasonry is not merely a secret society where men meet together to perform ritualistic work, but that rather it is an institution whose principles and precepts are intended to set before the individual a high ideal. The address of the grand master contains very many documents which were issued by him but most of them are of interest only locally and lack of space forbids reference to them in this article. One edict was issued during the year and that related to saloon keepers and bar keepers. Persons employed in such vocations were interdicted from joining the fraternity. Owing to many petty annoyances forced upon members of the fra- ternity in complying with rules and regulations of existing burial grounds, the grand lodge took up the matter of organizing and maintaining a Masonic cemetery. From the report under consideration Masonry must be very prosperous in the Philippine Islands for reference is made to Masonic Temples in nearly every city where Masons hold their meetings and the grand lodge urges every one of its constituents to provide a suitable place of meeting and to maintain same in keeping with the dignity of the fraternity. Four new lodges were in the matter of formation and the report indi- cates that many others may be anticipated in the near future. The financial condition of the grand lodge appears to be very satis- factory. It is apparent that no dispensations were issued by the grand master during his term of office. He quotes upon this subject, crediting his quo- tation to the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Illinois. The facts are that the words which he quotes wei'e from this writer and related to the folly of creating laws and then investing the grand master with the power to set them aside. During the session of the grand lodge under review an oration was delivered by the grand orator, Manuel Camus. The document, while not long, dealt purely with theoretic Freemasonry and no doubt proved enjoy- able to the members of the grand lodge who were present. No business of extraordinary importance appears to have been trans- acted at the session under review. The Committee on Masonic Eesearch reported that conditions had been such that they had been unable to accomplish very much in the work which had been assigned to them. There is a good deal of misleading importance placed upon this subject of Masonic research, the idea being held out that there is still some wonderful secret or information concerning Freemasonry A Masonic Correspondence 95 which is yet to be unearthed to the honor and glory of the fraternity. The known facts concerning the society are very few and are now the common possession of every student who cares to investigate the institution. There is nothing new to be dug up concerning the fraternity and there never will be. One motion was made and laid on the table and that was that the Com- mittee on Eesearch suggest a subject for a lecturer which would include the duties of a Mason toward his brother and the extent of protection which he might expect from his brethren particularly when he got into trouble. The report on Foreign Correspondence is prepared by a committee of the grand lodge. For some reason Illinois is not reviewed, probably our proceedings did not reach the reviewer in time for consideration. The review itself is brief and only the most important events of the various grand lodges considered are chronicled. The writer can not help but draw the conclusion from the examination of the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands that even in this faraway country Masonry is in a highly prosperous condition and is doing a most excellent work in counteracting certain evil influences which are working against the best interests of liberty and freedom of conscience.

M. 1919 The city of Charlottetown had the honor of entertaining the grand lodge assembled in the forty-fourth annual communication on June 25th and 26th, 1919. The report of the Credential Committee shows the presence of Samuel Lowe, grand representative of Illinois. The first thing the grand lodge did upon assembling was to form in a grand procession and proceed to the Saint James Church where a suitable memorial service was held in memory of those who had made the supreme sacrifice in the great war. The address of the grand master, L. M. McKinnon, is a dociunent of more than passing interest. He opens with references to the closing incidents of the great war and the fact that Masonry now has a wonderful mission to perform in the period of reconstruction which is at hand. It appears from the report of the grand master that the epidemic of influenza reached Prince Edward Island and produced a most damaging effect upon lodge meetings. 96 Appendix — Part I One thing the grand master did was to visit a large number of lodges during the time of his incumbency of office. Many of these visits were purely informal and he simply made his visitations with a view of mingling with the brethren, witnessing the work and being of such assistance as he possibly could. He comments upon the great desire for Masonic knowledge and informa- tion and says that never in his Masonic experience has he known a time when there was such a demand for information upon subjects Masonic. He reports the number of applications for initiation as steadily on the increase, but cautions all lodges to be very careful in the matter of investi- gating all who knock at the doors of Masonic lodges. One new lodge room was dedicated and ten dispensations granted for various purposes. Two rulings are reported, both of minor importance. Among the recommendations made is one that the yearly tinkering with the constitution should be stopped. A recommendation is made that the constitutions be revised and brought up to date and then let alone. In this matter the grand master is making a very wise suggestion to his grand lodge. At the present time there is too much tendency to amend and modify existing laws. It is apparent that the practice of attending Masonic funerals has fallen into decadence in Prince Edward Island the same as elsewhere, because the grand master has something to say upon this subject and calls attention to the very small attendance at Masonic funerals, especially in the larger cities of the jurisdiction. He seems to think that some drastic action should be taken which would result in the issuing of a summons to all members of the craft requiring attendance at these obsequies. The grand master recommends that a Masonic school of instruction be made a part of the routine of the grand lodge. He states that from his own personal observation lodges are in need of more help in order to secure greater proficiency in the work and at the same time to secure uniform methods of procedure. According to the grand treasurer's report the total receipts received from the grand secretary only amount to $656, from which it is apparent that the Grand Lodge of Prince Edward Island is not receiving as much financial support as it really deserves. The proceedings do not reveal that any business out of the ordinary was transacted at this meeting. The only item of particular interest relates to the matter of physical qualifications of candidates, with particular regard to returned soldiers. This subject was considered and it was decided not to take hasty action and the grand master was directed to appoint a special Masonic Correspondence 97 committee to report next year, taking into consideration the action of other grand lodges on this matter. There is no report on Foreign Correspondence. Eev. J. MacDongall, G.M., Cape Traverse. E, T. Carbonell, G.S., Charlottetown. QUEBEC, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The Grand Lodge of Quebec held its fiftieth annual communication in the city of Montreal in the Province of Quebec on the 11th day of February, 1920, There appears to have been a full representation of lodge repre- sentatives and past masters. The first business of importance vras the address of Grand Master Arthur B, Wood. He opens by saying considerable concerning the treaty of peace and the general expansion of the craft in the world rebuilding which seemed to be at hand. He states that an unusually large number of requests for dispensa- tions vrere presented to him, most common being to confer more than the statutory number of degrees at one meeting. The grand master does not approve letting down the bars on this question and is very forcible in calling the attention of lodges to the fact that the dignity of the fraternity must be maintained if the society is to be preserved. A dispensation was presented to form a new lodge in the village of Gaspe which was refused on the ground that the local conditions did not warrant a lodge in that place. One new lodge was instituted, one Masonic hall dedicated and the usual number of St. John's Day celebrations held. The grand master made a few rulings but they are for the most part purely of local significance. The attention of the grand lodge is called to the Masonic Temple which is characterized as being entirely too small to accommodate the large number of lodge meetings required. He urges some relief in this matter and expresses the hope that a committee may be appointed to consider whether to enlarge the temple or construct a new one. 98 Appendix — Part I The grand lodge as indicated by the grand secretary's report shows a net increase in membership of 818, giving the Province of Quebec a total membership of slightly over 10,000. The grand treasurer shows his receipts to have been $8,241 and his expenditures approximately $6,500. The Grand Lodge of Quebec takes good care of its poor and needy and has ample funds on hand for this splendid work. At this session of the grand lodge the grand chaplain delivered an address which was of more than passing interest and should have inspired the brethren with greater endeavor in behalf of the craft. The principal business transacted at this session appears to have been very largely routine. A report is submitted by the delegates who attended the Masonic Peace Celebration in London on June 27, 1919. It appears from the proceedings that such cases as are appealed from the action of the lodge go to the Committee or Jurisprudence. A number of appealed cases are reviewed and verdict rendered. During the closing hours of the grand lodge four distinguished crafts- men were elected to honorary membership. This was followed by the installation of officers and the usual closing of ceremonies. The report on correspondence was prepared by E. T. D. Chambers and he is very generous to Illinois giving four pages of delightful re- view and quotes the transactions of the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Illinois for the year 1919, and is very liberal in selecting extracts from the report on foreign correspondence presented to the grand lodge at that time. It would be a great pleasure to quote some of the very nice things that Brother Chambers said, but the writer is reminded of his injunc- tion to cut it short and very reluctantly foregoes saying some things which he would like to say. Arthur B. Wood, G.M. W. W. Williamson, G.S. Masonic Correspondence 09 QUEENSLAND, A. F. & A. M. 1919 This grand lodge holds quarterly communications at which such business as the past three months has brought up receives attention. This grand lodge follows the old English custom of delegating the major portion of its affairs to a board of general purposes. The board reports in one instance that applications for permission to ballot on forty- seven candidates for initiation were received, 46 of which were granted. This is rather an unusual proceeding as it would appear that each lodge should have the right to receive and ballot upon such petitions as in its wisdom it saw fit to consider. One thing about the Grand Lodge of Queensland is that it devotes much of its efforts towards Masonic charity and the report of receipts and expenditures shows that this body is by no means remiss in this very important duty. From the proceedings under review it is apparent that the grand master makes every effort to visit the lodges of his district and keeps in close touch with their activities. At such meetings of the grand lodge as were held during the year the grand master, James Stodart, delivered some very excellent addresses. Most of them were of a character which should have proved helpful to the brethren of the jurisdiction. A very careful examination of the proceedings under consideration does not reveal any business out of the ordinary transacted at any of the quarterly communications that were held. There is no report on foreign correspondence and the proceedings as issued contain but one hundred pages. The Grand Lodge of Queensland is a new Masonic body, being now in its fifteenth year, but there is every evidence of the fact that it is taking a proper interest in the affairs of the craft and will no doubt in time grow into a strong, vigorous Masonic institution. James Stodart, G.M. F. Holland, G.B. 100 Appendix — Part I RHODE ISLAND, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The 129th annual communication was held in the city of Providence Monday, May 19, 1919. The address of the grand master is a document of more than ordinary interest and shows Brother E. Tudor Gross to have been a man thoroughly observant and painstaking in all his efforts. He reports the general condition of the craft to be most satisfactory. The activities of the Masonic War Board were recited in detail and clearly proved that the State of Rhode Island was not wanting when it came to rendering substantial aid to those engaged in overseas work. The grand master refers to the question of dispensations and says that so far as possible he avoided their issuance, believing that such a prac- tice only resulted in a violation of the laws. He granted, however, that conditions did arise wherein it appeared advisable to wave standing regulations, but in the main he stood for the upholding of the laws upon the statute books. Eight dispensations were issued to lodges permitting them to attend church. The grand master refers to the Masonic Service Association and gives quite an extensive report thereon. He states that he is convinced that the time has come when the Masons of America must put aside indi- vidual and selfish interests and work for the common good of all. The George Washington Masonic Memorial Association is endorsed and the lodges and brethren of the state urged to make liberal contributions to this enterprise. One thing which the grand master speaks about is ventilation in lodge rooms. He seems to think that this subject receives very little consid- eration on the part of lodge ofRcers and he recommends that something be done toward bringing this important subject to the attention of all who are concerned in Masonic welfare. The grand master speaks about the renovation of the grand secretary's office, and of the fact that it was placed in proper condition to carry on the work of the grand lodge. The number of visits to lodges which the grand master made is way above the average. The brethren of the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island are to be congratu- lated on the fact that they had a grand master who was able to find Masonic Correspondence 101 sufficient time to visit the lodges of his district and to meet with his brethren. Among the recommendations made was one requiring lodges to send notice of all regular meetings to the grand master. Another recommendation was that the grand master upon entering the duties of his office should be presented with an apron to be worn by him during the year that he served the craft. Two decisions were rendered by the grand master growing out of the status of soldiers who were members of the craft. Brother Gross had considerable to say about precedence at Masonic functions and expressed the idea that whether in lodge, chapter, commandery or consistory the grand master when present was the ranking officer and should be accorded all the honors due his exalted station. The reports of the district deputy grand masters which are appended to the report of the grand master show that those officials are by no taeans remiss in their duties, and take great pains visiting and inspecting each of the lodges in their districts. The grand secretary reports a net increase in membership of 608 giv- ing the state a total membership of 10,885, The receipts of the year were $8,041 and the expenditures were $9,628. The business transacted at this session was purely of routine char- acter, nothing out of the ordinary being brought to the attention of the grand lodge. There is no report on foreign correspondence. The grand lodge evidently believes in the practice of economy by restricting whatever review was to be made to a very brief report submitted to the grand lodge by a Special Committee on Foreign Correspondence. James C. Collins, G.M. S. Penrose Williams, G.S. SASKATCHEWAN, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The thirteenth annual communication opened in the city of Prince Albert on Wednesday, June 18, and was attended by representatives of the 143 lodges of the jurisdiction. There was an address of welcome which was properly responded to, after which the grand master, Eobert Young, presented his report to the grand lodge. 102 Appendix — Part I He calls the attention of the craft to the fact that while the war has ceased, yet many grave problems are before the craft which must be solved. Two rulings were made but most of them grew out of the interpreta- tion of the law relating to the residences of soldiers. He states that he has issued some special dispensations in reference to initiating imperfect material and asked the grand lodge to more clearly define what is meant by imperfect material. Five new lodges were organized during the year and a number of district meetings and lodges of instruction held for the benefit of the craft. Tte district deputy grand masters report directly to the grand mas- ter and mention each lodge which they visited and record the conditions as they found them. It cost the Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan the sum of $10,000 to operate for the year. The report of the grand treasurer show^s that there are sufficient funds on hand to carry the grand lodge through any emergency. A net increase for the year of 854 is reported by the grand secretary. The grand lodge employs a public auditor to go over the books of the grand officers and a very extensive table is made by him. One of the most interesting reports in the proceedings is from the Committee on the Conditions of Masonry. This committee thoroughly acquaints itself with the general affairs of lodges throughout the state and makes a report which ought to result in much good to the craft of the jurisdiction. Among the subjects considered are those of rotation in office, the lack of uniformity in the matter of keeping records, small attendance at lodge meetings. Some very valuable suggestions are made by the committee which ought to prove helpful to those interested in the welfare of the fraternity. The election and installation of officers was the closing feature of the last day's session. Business transacted throughout the communication appears to have been largely routine. There is no report on Masonic correspondence. N. B. Williams, G.M. W. B. Tate, G.S. Masonic Correspondence 103 SOUTH AUSTRALIA, A. F. & A. M. 1920 The proceedings opened with a complete account of a special service held at the town hall at Adelaide on Sunday July 20, 1919. The object of this celebration was to properly observe the restoration of peace. A program of music, scripture readings and addresses was rendered. The annual communication was held on Wednesday, April 21, 1920. South Australia profited from the great wave of Masonic enthusiasm which appears to be sweeping everywhere and shows a substantial in- crease of 569 for the year. Eight new lodges were formed. All Masonic charity is administered through a special fund in charge of a Committee on Benevolence. It ia apparent that the grand lodge is doing its full duty to those dependent upon it. South Australia adheres very closely to the old English customs and practices. The principal business is handled by what is called a board of general purposes. Half-yearly communications are held at which such business as needs attention is given consideration. An examination of the proceedings does not show that any thing of particular interest was accomplished during the year. The principal matters which came up were purely routine and indicated that the grand lodge is satisfied with the management of affairs and has no disposition to depart from the established customs and practices. The review of foreign grand lodges is written by a committee. T. Slaney Poole appears to have reviewed Illinois. The principal transactions of the grand lodge for 1919 are consid- ered. Some comment is made concerning the increasing cost of main- taining the Masonic homes of the state and the amendment relating to physical Qualifications which was presented is quoted in full. The trouble experienced with the German speaking lodges of the state is recited and the comment made that the long period of neutrality on the part of America ultimately increased her difficulties with citizens of this type. Eegret is expressed that the proceedings of South Australia for the preceding year were not reviewed owing to the fact that labor troubles prevented a prompt i)ublication. Arthur W. Piper, G.M. Charles E. Glover, G.S. 104 Appendix— Part I SOUTH CAROLCsA. A. F. M. 1919 The annual communication, tlie one hundred and eightv-third. opened in the city of Charleston on the morning of Tuesday, December 9. On the evening preceding there was a public meeting of the craft at which devotional exercises were held, consisting of prayer, scripture reading and an elaborate musical program. The Committee on Credentials re- ports the presence of H. C. Ficken, the representative of the Grand Lodge of Illinois. As usual the first business was the address of the grand master, William W. Wannamaker. In his opening paragraph he has something to say concerning representatives attending meetings of the grand lodge and then failing to report the transactions to their respective lodges. He holds to the opinion that unless this is done that it is hardly worth while to go to the expense of holding a grand lodge meeting. He also goes after those representatives of lodges who come to Charleston to transact individual business at the expense of the grand lodge and who fail to attend the sessions. He reports the usual tremendous increase in membership which is so apparent everywhere and says that South Carolina has received fully as many petitions in proportion to its size as any other state. He very truthfully says that the true ^Mason is not made at sight, but is the result of much reflection, patience, study and experience. He presents the subject of the Masonic Service Association of the United States to his grand lodge without recommendation. Five dispensations for the formation of new lodges were issued and one corner-stone, that of a Masonic Temple, laid during the year. He commends the George Washington Memorial Association and asks the financial assistance of the grand lodge. It appears from the report that the grand lodge has under con- sideration the sale of its Masonic Temple. Just what future proposition is under consideration relating to a permanent home for Masonry in South Carolina is not mentioned. Inasmuch as the grand lodge convenes on the second Tuesday in September the grand master expresses the opinion that a change of the time of meeting is desirable in order that its meetings may be made to conform to the fiscal year which ends January 31. Fifty opinions are rendered by the grand master, the majority of them relating to the interpretation of local law. There appears to be nothing unusual or extraordinary in any of the decisions rendered. Masonic Correspondence 105 In a supplemental address the grand master reports that he found it necessary to arrest the charter of the lodge at Anderson, South Caro- lina and to summons the officers to appear at this annual communica- tion. The reason for the discipline is that the lodge initiated a man physically disqualified. The reports of the district deputy grand masters made direct to the grand master and which are printed as a part of his report show that the officers were thoroughly acquainted with what was required from them and discharged their duties in an efficient manner. The grand treasurer reports total receipts of $36,137 and expendi- tures of $38,167. The report of the grand treasurer is in the main numerical, dealing with the financial receipts of his office. The report of the Masonic Board of Belief shows that $779 were spent in caring for those from other states who were compelled to call upon local author- ities for assistance. The report of the whole committee shows that the Masonic Temple was operated at a profit of $1,106. Initiation fees for the degrees were fixed at $30. A proposition to fix the date of the annual meeting of the grand lodge on the first Tuesday in March was laid over for one year. The election, installation of officers, the presentation of the official apron were interesting features during the closing hours of the session. A silver bowl and pitcher were presented to the grand master as a token of love and esteem on the part of the members of his grand lodge. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by J. L. Michie. It is a very thorough and complete resume of the transactions of the various grand lodges which came under his attention. He devotes four and one-half pages to Illinois. He comments freely upon the acts of Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin and refers to the unusual incident of the grand master of the Masons conferring the Third Degree on the grand master of the Odd Fellows and says, "Does not Preston tell us that Masonry regards no man on account of his worldly wealth or posi- tion." He is very generous to the Masonic correspondent of Illinois, but takes serious exception to a statement made to the effect that the Grand Lodge of South Carolina was in the mortuary business, and ac- cepts the statement as an attempt at ridicule. We are extremely sorry that Brother Michie should have put this construction upon the state- ment made as there was absolutely no intention whatever to cast either ridicule or to make light of the efforts of our South Carolina brethren to do everything which might be included under the broad scope of Ma- sonic charity.

M. 1920 The annual communication under review, the forty-sixth, which was held in the city of Pierre opened on Tuesday, June 8, 1920. The flag was received immediately after assembling, the grand stewards presenting same at the altar while the members stood and joined in singing America. The grand master, Walter B. Burr, presented his report which was a document not extremely long but which set forth in a clear and concise manner the various acts which he performed during his stewardship. One dispensation for the formation of a new lodge was issued and three visitations to lodges of the jurisdiction are reported by the grand master. He states that he was unable to visit any more because of the stress of business. A number of dispensations are reported, the grand master going into detail and explaining the nature of the requests and all details connected with same. It appears that South Dakota adheres rigidly to the old regulation concerning physical perfection because among the decisions reported are two relating to the refusal of the grand master to permit the initiation of petitioners who were not physically perfect. The public school system of our country is thoroughly endorsed and the fraternity called upon to do its utmost to sustain these institutions. The Washington Memorial is endorsed as is the Masonic Service Association. The grand treasurer reports receipts of $21,762 and disbursements of $19,446. The grand secretary states that there has been a large amount of correspondence and many tentative plans sent out in regard to new temple buildings. He states that quite a lot of new lodge rooms will be built when material and labor are not prohibitive and that many lodges were compelled to cease their endeavors in this line because of high costs. It appears in the report of the grand secretary that clandestine lodges have been exerting an insidious influence in the state of South Dakota. The matter is called to the attention of the grand lodge for such action as it may desire to take. The total raised to the sublime degree of Master Masons was 1,352. However, the state made a net gain of 1,107 and now has almost 15,000 Master Masons. According to the proceedings there was collected for the George Wash- ington Memorial Association from the various lodges of the state the sum of $8,046, a most excellent showing. Masonic Correspondence 107 A general report on correspondence is submitted to the grand lodge. Among the subjects discussed are the Study of Masonry, the Large and Small Lodges and various other topics relating to the welfare of the fra- ternity. Concerning the subject of physical qualifications the correspondent makes the claim that while there has been much discussion among various grand lodges upon this all important subject, yet a liberal movement does not appear to have advanced very rapidly and that it will be some time before this subject will receive the general attention of the Grand Lodges of the United States to the extent that there will be a change in the existing regulations. The jurisdiction of South Dakota is maintaining a first class library at Sioux Falls and every effort is being made to accumulate books and manu- scripts which will be valuable to members of the craft. The business transacted at this session is not of an unusual character and relates mainly to matters of local interest. There is no report on For- eign Correspondence. John H. McCord, G.M., Pierre. George A. Pettigrew, G.S., Sioux Falls. TENNESSEE, F. & A. M. 1920 The one hundred and sixth annual communication was held in the city of Nashville on Wednesday, January 28, 1920. A rather peculiar circumstance arose in connection with the opening exercises. Thomas Steele, Jr., having served eleven months and seven days as acting grand master, submitted a question to the Committee on Jurisprudence as to whether he could be elected and installed grand master on the first day of the meeting of the grand lodge for the re- mainder of the present term. The request was made on account of the condition of the health of Brother Steele. The Jurisprudence Commit- tee ruled affirmatively and the grand lodge immediately held an election and Brothei Steele was unanimously elected and installed into the office. He then presented his annual address to the grand lodge. He opens by referring to the death of Thomas B. Brandon who was elected grand master at the last session and who died within one month after being installed into office. The Grand Lodge of Tennessee issues certificates of proficiency upon recommendation of the Board of Custodians. The list submitted is a long one, showing very clearly that the brethren of Tennessee are anxious to maintain a high standard of Masonic efficiency. 108 Appe7idix — Part I The grand master reports in full the dispensations which he issued. All of them were for legitimate purposes. He did not, however, grant all that were asked for he submits a list of those refused which shows that he made every endeavor to uphold the traditions of the craft. He refused to issue a dispensation for the formation of a new lodge because it was nearer than ten miles to a neighboring lodge. He declined to issue a duplicate charter because it could not be shown that the loss of the original charter was unavoidable. He re- quired the lodge to pay the grand secretary for the duplicate. Thirty-six questions and answers were submitted covering the usual conditions which arise in nearly all lodges. He decided that a Masonic trial did not depend on a civil trial and should be conducted inde- pendently. A lodge which declined to vote on the petition of a man 77 years of age was reminded that the report of the committee must be received and the lodge pass on the candidate's qualifications in the usual legal manner. The Travelers' Aid Society, the Masonic Service Association of the United States, and the George Washington Memorial Association re- ceived the hearty commendation of the grand master and recommenda- tions made that proper appropriations be set apart for each of these worthy enterprises. The total receipts of the grand lodge were approximately $84,718 and the expenditures $49,000. However, some of the expenditures made went to cover old debts. The grand secretary, Stith M. Cain, presented a report which is complete and clearly sets forth the acts of his office for the current year. A rather unusual committee is what is called the Board of Cura- tors. They appear to have charge of the Masonic Hall and to pro- vide various means of sustaining that institution. The report on the Grand Lodge Home is interesting because it shows that the Masons of Tennessee are going into the proposition in a very business like manner. The operation of the home according to the report cost $19,866. However, the number receiving assistance does not appear to be given. One thing the grand lodge does for which it is to be commended is that it maintains a school for the education of the children under its care, the teachers being assigned by the County Board of Education. The Committee on Keturns report a large number of lodges that had failed to read edicts or proceedings and recommended that the grand Masonic Correspondence 109 secretary be instructed to collect a penalty of $5 from each of these lodges for the benefit of the Widows' and Orphans' Home. The question of French Masonry arose in the grand lodge and a reso- lution was introduced that inasmuch as there was no immediate need of recommendation that the question be given ample time for consid- eration. The report of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances is very in- teresting. Each case is set forth in detail and reveals the frailties of human nature. After a perusal of this report one is brought to the conclusion that while it takes all kinds of people to make a world yet when it comes to the conduct and behavior of individuals they are very much the same everywhere. The Grand Lodge of Tennessee must be commended for the thorough manner in which it conducts its schools of instruction. Eeports show that 127 schools were held by the lecturers and custodians and that much good resulted to the craft. A resolution was introduced to exempt from payment of dues those who had attained the age of 75 years but did not find favor with the Committee on Jurisprudence and the proposition was rejected. The election and installation of officers followed by the presenta- tion of the signet ring closed the session. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by H. A. Cham- bers. It is concise and directly to the point. He gives Illinois two and one-half pages of impartial consideration, quoting liberally from the address of Grand Master Daniel G. Fitzgerald and finding no fault with anything that he may have said. He quotes two extracts from the report on correspondence, particularly the one on physical qualifications, also on coordination. He quotes without comment from which it is assumed that he found no fault with the views expressed. T. W. Peace, G.M., Madisonville. Stith M. Cain, G.S., Nashville. 110 Appendix — Part I TEXAS, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The annual communication which was the eighty-fourth was held in the city of Waco, Texas. John Watson representing the Grand Lodge of Illinois is among the grand representatives accredited. In the opening ceremonies thirty-three Masons who had been mem- bers of the society forty or more years were given the honors of the fraternity. The grand master, A. A. Eoss, presented to the grand lodge a very able report. In his chronicle of the Masonic dead he mentions the names of Austin H. Scrogin and Monroe C. Crawford. Among the eases reported concerning some irregularities was one where Garden City Lodge of Chicago had requested Long View Lodge of Texas to confer the degrees. The differences which involved the collection of fees were satisfactorily adjusted. The grand master reports that he granted dispensations for the con- ferring of degrees out of time due to the necessity arising from the war but he makes it clear that as a general proposition he is opposed to letting down the bars. The George Washington Memorial Association received the hearty endorsement of the grand master who recommends that all members of the craft be given an opportunity to contribute toward the erection of this splendid monument. A request to the Grand Lodge of Texas to contribute to the Eoose- velt Association is presented by Grand Master Koss together with a letter of endorsement from William S. Farmer of New York. The whole sub- ject was referred to the grand lodge for such action as it might desire to take. Texas apparently consents to a change of venue in the case of Masonic trials for one act of this sort is reported. Three lodges surrendered their charters and a fourth came very near loosing its warrant because of failure to meet for three months. Four dispensations for the formation of new lodges were granted and one refused. Several dispensations were issued to publicly install officers as well as to permit lodges to lay corner-stones of various edifices. i Masonic CojTespondence 111 The Grand Lodge of Texas does not permit its constituent lodges to lay corner-stones on Sunday. The only Masonic services that can be rendered on that day is the burying of the dead. A' member of a lodge was tried for unmasonic conduct and repri- manded. It appears that he had a tongue that was exceedingly well oiled and publicly repeated the esoteric part of the ritual as glibly as he did the monitorial. The grand master reports the arrest of the charter of one lodge because it initiated a man with all the fingers absent from the right hand except the thumb and index finger. It appears from the report of the grand master that the grand lodge forbids any member of the fraternity from selling Masonic life insur- ance. It is reported that one brother who for seven years had gained a livelihood in this business was compelled to hunt other employment as he was placed on trial and indefinitely suspended from the fraternity because he had violated the law of the state. The grand master ruled that a memorial window with Masonic emblems could not be placed in a church. Sixty-three decisions are rendered in the form of questions and answers, most of them relate to interpretations of law. One thing Grand Master Eoss did was to advocate a more liberal construction of the law on physical qualifications and to recommend its consideration to the Jurisprudence Committee. The grand treasurer reports total receipts of $91,578.10 and dis- bursements of $86,460.98. Apparently the grand lodge did not operate at any very great profit. The number raised in Texas according to the grand secretary's re- port is 7,468, making the present membership 83,277. Following the first day's session an open meeting was held and the children from the Orphans' Home gave a most delightful entertainment. The report of the Orphans' Home shows a profit of $8,863 from the farm and dairy and recommends that the superintendent's salary be fixed at $5,000 per year. The oration delivered by X H. Pace was on the subject "The Eeign of King Solomon." The Committee on Foreign Correspondence make a long report in which the subject of French Masonry received due consideration. How- ever they failed to recommend the establishment of Fraternal relations and the question went over for another year. 112 Appendix — Part I The Masonic Service Association was fully exploited by a committee and received the endorsement of the grand lodge. The grand lodge adopted a law permitting collective balloting on candidates. The election and installation of officers and presentation of the jewel closed the session. The report on foreign correspondence covers just sixty-eight pages. Illinois received about one page of favorable comment. The reviewer, however, does not like the idea of the Committee on Appeals and Griev- ances, taking testimony which was not presented to the lodge in which the trial was held. Geo. F. Morgan, G.M., El Paso W. B. Pearson, G.S., El Paso. UTAH, F. & A. M. 1920 The forty-ninth annual communication was entertained by the Masons of Salt Lake City on January 20 and 21, 1920. It did not take the grand lodge long to settle down to active business, one of the first transactions being the roll call. The record shows that Illinois was responded to by P. L. Williams, grand representative. The first business of importance was an oration which was delivered by the grand orator, his subject being "The Public Teacher." Immediately following, the grand master, Arthur C. Wherry read his annual address which was a document of some twenty pages covering the various acts which he performed in his official capacity. He reports a number of visitations to lodges and states that every courtesy was extended to him during the year. Two decisions were rendered, one was that the deputy grand master could not act as a member of a trial commission. He also rendered a de- cision to the effect that the minutes of a lodge could not be read from pencil notes, but must be presented to the lodge after having been regularly entered in permanent form. He states that the Committee on Masonic Education and Instruction has accomplished much good during the year and refers to the affiliation of this work with the Masonic Service Association of the United States. Dispensations for the formation of two new lodges and degrees con- ferred by courtesy are reported. Masonic Correspondence 113 The grand master states that he found two cases where local men had petitioned lodges while stationed in army camps and refers to cor- respondence with the grand master of Illinois on the subject wherein it was made plain that should these men be initiated they would not be eligible for Masonry in their own jurisdiction. The grand master was unable to attend the peace celebration held in London in June of last year. He reports a visit to Chicago and atten- dance at a school of instruction where he was received by Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin and accorded every courtesy. He refused to grant a general waiver of jurisdiction to sea and field lodges of New York on the ground that the grand and subordinate lodges of Utah were best able to determine the fitness of Masonic material from this state. The George Washington Memorial Association is endorsed as well as the Masonic Service Association. A recommendation is made that the funeral ritual be revised and that the pathetic element be eliminated as far as possible and the ritual made to conform to the hopeful aspect which Freemasonry takes toward a future life. He also recommends that the commitment service at the grave be shortened. Brother Wherry believes in coordinated work by lodges and thinks that the best results are obtained where lodges divide their work and proceed to accomplish it in a harmonious manner. Much is said of the Grotto and a suggestion is offered that the grand lodge appoint a committee to investigate this appendage to Masonry, as it is called, and be prepared to intelligently advise relative to its status. Attention is called to the large number of non-affiliated Masons living within the state and the suggestion made that some means be adopted to show some interest in these brethren and try and win them back to the fold. The grand treasurer reports receipts for the year of $6,850 and ex- penditures of $5,141. The grand secretary presents quite a long report in which is detailed many of the acts which he performed during the year. According to his report there are twenty-one lodges in the State of Utah, with a total mem- bership of 3,021. The Grand Lodge Alpina of Switzerland was formally recognized and an exchange of representatives arranged. The Committee on Jurisprudence took up that portion of the grand master's report referring to the Masonic Service Association and gave it a clean bill of health. 114 Appendix — Part I A careful examination of the proceedings does not reveal any acts or transactions other than those routine in character. A very interesting report on foreign correspondence is made a part of the report and is prepared by Sam H. Goodwin, He is very generous to Illinois and reviews our 1919 proceedings in a very careful manner. A very generous tribute is paid to Austin H. Scrogin who passed away while in the discharge of his duties as grand master. He has the following to say concerning Grand Master Fitzgerrell 's address : ' ' Grand Master Fitz- gerrell opened his address with words of optimism. He saw a clear sky, but ominous clouds drifting over. We like the spirit, but are bound to put a question mark after such a statement as this: 'Freemasonry is and has been preeminent in bringing the gospel of peace and good will to all peoples.' That may seem to be true, from his vantage-point, but we — we're out here in the sagebrush and we fail to find any facts which warrant such a statement." Otherwise he mentions our various acts without any unfavorable com- ment. He is very generous to the Illinois correspondent and heartily agrees with his views concerning the various attempts which are being made to Christianize Freemasonry. In summarizing the report he says: ' ' While we do not see eye to eye on all the matters turned up by our brother, his discussions show a measure of sanity and a breadth of view which are altogether commendable." James LeEoy Cattron, G.M., Salt Lake City. Freeman A. McCarty, G.S., Salt Lake City. VERMONT, F. & A. M. 1920 The annual communication which was the one hundred and twenty- seventh opened in the city of Burlington on June 9, 1920, for a two days' session. The preliminary ceremonies were brief. The grand lodge immediately preceded to the real business of the session by listening to the address of the grand master, Edwin L. Wells. Apparently Vermont experienced the prosperity which has attended the Masonic fraternity all over the United States for reference is made to the tremendous increase in membership which took place in the state during the year. The grand master states that he had hoped to devote all of his time to the business of his office but other matters prevented his reaching his expectations. Masonic Correspondence 115 The corner stone of one Masonic Temple was laid during the year and the ceremonies of dedication observed in one instance. The grand lodge of Vermont holds district meetings at which a great deal of good is accomplished by the presentation and discussion of matters relating to the craft. Only eleven dispensations were granted by the grand master during the year and he states that all of them were for the best interests of the fra- ternity. The George Washington Memorial Association receives considerable consideration and the grand master is of the opinion that the state of Ver- mont ought to get behind the enterprise and help it through to the extent of its ability. The Masonic Service Association receives some discussion. The grand master very frankly states that at first he was a sincere believer in the necessity of such an organization but from his report the idea is gained that he has changed somewhat in his ideas for he recommends that the whole matter be placed in the hands of the Jurisprudence Committee for consideration. The address itself is very short and deals with merely routine matters. No decisions were made a matter of record. From the report of the grand secretary it is shown that the state of Vermont has nearly 16,000 Master Masons, making a net gain for the year of 746. The total receipts from all sources were $13,347. The Committee on Masonic Jurisprudence made a report wherein they sustained all the dispensations of the grand master except two and these were for the purpose of permitting lodges to wear regalia in public on occasions which were not Masonic. These two dispensations were dis- approved. The committee could not see any necessity for a Masonic Ser- vice Association and made a report that the emergency of the war being past that they believed the state of Vermont should withhold membership from any such society. The grand lodge administers its charity through a special fund collected for that purpose and the report of the committee which has this fund in charge shows that the grand lodge is not neglecting those who are worthy and who need assistance, but believes that the large part of the burden should fall upon the individual lodge to which the member belongs. At the session under review there does not appear to have been any business transacted out of the ordinary. It is apparent that the Grand Lodge of Vermont is satisfied to let matters stand as they now are without any disposition to disturb existing conditions. 116 Appendix — Part I The report on Foreign Correspondence is in the form of an essay pre- pared by Charles H. Darling. He discusses various subjects of interest which have been considered by grand lodges during the year and says some very pertinent things concerning the Eoman Catholic Church as well as politics and political activities. He concludes his review with a collection of verses of various kinds which should prove interesting to those Masons who regard the literary value of the fraternity. Archie S. Harriman, G. M., Middlebury. Henry H. Eoss, G.S., Burlington. VIRGINIA, A. F. & A. M. 1920 What is called the grand annual communication opened in the city of Richmond on the morning of February 10, 1920. The first business of importance was the presentation to the most worshipful grand master of a hat and cane. Tten followed the annual address of the grand master, Sol Cutchins. In his opening remarks he refers to the close of the war and the duty which is resting upon all members of the craft in getting the country back to normal conditions. He rendered fifteen decisions so-called. One was that attending divine worship is not a Masonic occasion and therefore it would be improper for a lodge to appear in Masonic clothing at a church service. Another one was that a lodge may decline to teach and examine a candidate for another lodge, the grand master holding that such service was purely one of courtesy. He also decided that a printed seal on official papers did not come within the requirements of the law. The grand master was not generous in issuing dispensations and only granted those for which substantial reasons could be given. Three dis- pensations for the formation of new lodges were issued and one corner- stone was laid by the grand lodge and eleven by constituent lodges. The list of visitations made by the grand master is a long one, showing that he made every effort to get in touch with the brethren of his jurisdiction. The Masonic Temple owned by the grand lodge showed a profit last year of only $2,394. The Grand Lodge Committee on Property proposed to assess the grand lodge $2,000 a year rental for the offices of the grand secretary and grand treasurer. The grand master refused to consent to the arrangement as he could see no reason why the grand lodge should pay rent today and receive it back tomorrow. Such a transaction oc- casioning unnecessary bookkeeping. He recommended a reduction in the Masonic Correspondence 117 size of the proceedings of the grand lodge, claiming that the cost of pub- lication should be reduced. Grand Master Cutchins is a thorough be- liever in Masonic education and emphasizes the necessity of lodges taking hold of this matter in view of the large increase in members which is taking place at the present time. He also recommends that the grand lodge commence the collection of a Masonic library. He heartily en- dorses the George Washington Memorial Association and advises that there has already been paid in subscriptions the sum of $135,000. The grand treasurer reported receipts from all sources of $131,690 and ex- penditures of $130,184, It is apparent that the grand lodge did not operate at very much of a profit. The second day's session was devoted to the transaction of general business. Each divisional grand lecturer was allowed the sum of $250 to be applied in compensating him for time and expenses while actively en- gaged in the duties of his office. The election and installation of officers closed the session. The business transacted appears to have been nearly all routine, no radical legislation was enacted, and there appears to have been no deviation from the established customs of the grand lodge. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Joseph W, Eggleston. He gives Hlinois two pages of very generous review and finds no particular fault with any of our transactions. He refers to the conference of grand masters at New York as hysterical and characterizes it as having been called for ostentatious display, advertising and spending of money. He believes that Freemasonry should be kept pure and free from all en- tangling alliances. He characterizes it as the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God. Brother Eggleston belongs to the old school and adheres strictly to the time-honored precedent of the fraternity. Wm. A. Aalt, G.M. Chas. A. Nesbitt, G.S. WASHINGTON, F. & A. M. 1919 The city of Seattle had the honor of entertaining the sixty-second an- nual communication which opened on the 10th day of June, 1919. A large number of past masters of lodges are reported by the Committee on Cre- dentials which would seem to indicate that those officials have a vote and interest in the grand lodge. The ambassador who is supposed to represent Illinois does not appear to have been present. If so, the Committee on Credentials failed to mention his name. 118 Appendix — Part I The grand master, Alonzo E. Emerson, presents a report which is thoroughly complete in every detail. He opens by referring to the duty now before the craft in the great period of reconstruction which is before the country. The Masonic Home is highly commended and the necessity for a hos- pital to take care of such cases as are helpless is presented. The grand master issued a number of dispensations, most of them, however, were for purposes for which such dispensations are usually granted. He refused several dispensations, claiming that the law did not warrant the exceptions which were asked for. A number of lodges were granted permission to change their places of meeting, while two new lodges were duly constituted. Dispensations for the formation of two ancient craft lodges were issued. Two decisions are reported. One to the effect that the master of a lodge can not appoint a secret committee on investigation. Another de- cision rendered was that the report of the committee is to the whole lodge and not to the master. A lodge wanted to remit the payment of a note due from one of its members. The decision was that no lodge shall dis- tribute its funds among its members. The master of one lodge who per- mitted certain irregularities in the matter of ballot was deposed from office. The grand master reports that he was unable to visit but very few lodges because of so many obstacles which stood in the way, among which he mentions the epidemic of influenza, together with the business pressure which was brought to bear upon him. He speaks at length and most kindly of Brother Austin H. Scrogin, whom he came to know personally. The work of the grand lecturer is very strongly commended, not only because of his efforts in teaching the work, but because of what he did toward rousing the different lodges and creating enthusiasm among them. A full report is made of the activities of the George Washington Me- morial Association and a recommendation made that substantial contribu- tions be made toward assisting in this enterprise. The Masonic Service Association is reported in detail and the matter presented to the grand lodge for its action. In closing his address the grand master has something to say about disturbing influences in which he refers to the fact that recently initiated Masons are being importuned to seek other rites and ceremonies before they have had time to become acquainted with even the rudiments of the three degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry. He thinks a rule ought to be made that no Master Mason shall be received in any of the higher degrees until after a specific length of time. He hits the nail on the head when Masonic Correspondence 119 he says that much of this condition can be charged to the fact that grand lodges require no interim between the conferring of the degrees, allowing lodges to railroad candidates through as fast as possible. The grand secretary makes a report which is complete in every detail. The Grand Lodge of Washington is well off financially, as the total amount of securities reported amounts to $167,050. The Committee on Foreign Correspondence presents a report to the grand lodge wherein is expressed the thought that the question of physical qualifications is a dead one and that grand lodges are rapidly modifying their opinions concerning the hard and fast rules which have been observed for so many years. The question of recognizing the Grand Lodge of France is brought up and reviewed at some length. The committee expressed the idea that there are many questions involved which can only be settled after mature deliberation and due investigation and recommends that a special committee be appointed for that purpose. The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows sent a special committee to the grand lodge, all of whom were Masons, tendering fraternal greetings as well as good wishes. The flag of our country was presented by a guard of honor consisting of several soldiers who had particijjated in the great war, and the flag was duly escorted into the grand lodge, while the members stood at salute. The grand lodge listened to an oration by Louis F. Hart. The sub- ject was "Masonry, Its Influence on Government." The document is one which reads well and should have made a good impression upon the members of the craft who listened to it. Washington enjoyed its full share of prosperity as the report shows 2,026 to have been raised to the Sublime Degree of Masonry. The state experienced a net gain in membership of 1,636, giving it a total membership at the present time of 25,536. A special committee which had in hand the consideration of the Masonic Service Association presented a report favoring membership in that society and the grand lodge concurred in the recommendation. The Masonic Home had a membership during the year of 47 and was maintained at a total cost of $17,662.53. The farm produced in milk, butter, eggs, etc., the sum of $6,680.69. The salary of the grand secretary was fixed at $2,400 a year and the sum of $1,500 set apart for printing and binding proceedings. The installation of the newly elected officers closed the session. 120 Appendix — Part I TTue report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Ealph C. Mc- Allaster. He considers Illinois in two pages and says that Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin's address on the subject of army lodges was one of the best deliveries of the year. Liberal quotations were made from the ad- dress of Grand Master Scrogin and the principal acts of our grand lodge chronicled. Brother McAUaster quotes what the writer said under Minnesota and remarks ' ' This man Darrah must be foolish enough to think our grand lodge should attend to Blue Lodge Masonry and let it go at that." Brother McAUaster may consider himself absolutely correct in this remark. The only way to preserve the integrity of Freemasonry is to prevent contam- ination. The writer is a thorough believer in the higher bodies so-called and belongs to all of them, he is even a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, but he does not find favor in parading the officials of those organizations in Masonic assemblies, fully believing that these should be kept exclusively as ancient craft institutions and that so long as we do this we will avoid a lot of trouble and conflict. Thomas E. Skaggs, G.M., Olympia. Horace W. Tyler, G.S,, Olympia. WESTERN AUSTRALIA, A. F. & A. M. 1919 This grand lodge holds quarterly communications at which such busi- ness as appears to demand attention is given consideration. What is called the annual communication was held on Thursday, April 24, 1919. The report of the grand master shows that he granted but ten dispensations, most of them for the usual legitimate lodge purposes. He speaks of the finances of the grand lodge as being most satisfactory and quotes the present membership at 4,488 making a net gain of 211. He says that this is the greatest gain in membership which the grand lodge has made since the year 1903. He seems to think that the grand lodge ought to celebrate the con- clusion of peace and recommends a solemn Thanksgiving festival to be carried out at some future time. The board of general purposes made a report in which they reveal many of the little acts which passed through their hands during the year. There is nothing out of the ordinary and the business transacted by them appears to have been practically routine. Masonic Correspondence 121 The reports of the district deputy grand masters are interesting be- cause they take up and deal with the various lodges visited and specifically mention such data as appeared to demand attention. During the session under review representatives from sister grand lodges were presented. Illinois was represented by J. M. Macfarlane. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by J. W. E. A., who- ever he may be. Illinois comes in for four pages of very generous con- sideration. TTie reviewer finds much favor with the proposed amendment on physi- cal qualifications and seems to think that the system of Masonic schools as conducted by Illinois should be adopted in other states. He has considerable to say concerning the question of clubs. He seems to think that all such should be maintained distinct from the lodge proper. The proposition limiting lodges to 10% of their total receipts in the matter of expenditures on refreshments and society entertainments is looked upon by the reviewer as an effort to interfere with the individual business of lodges. The writer appears to be in sympathy with the action of the grand lodge preventing smoking during the conferring of the degrees but thinks that the amendment should be made to extend to the lodge at any time that it may be in session. The correspondence report as presented in 1918 is highly commended and due thanks for the generous comijliments given are hereby returned. William Ellison-Macartney, G.M. J. D. Stevenson, G.S. WEST VIRGINIA, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The city of Charleston had the honor of entertaining the grand lodge assembled in the fifty-fifth annual communication on November 12 and 13, 1919. The list of representatives which is made a part of the report does not reveal the presence of the ambassador from Illinois. George S. Ladley, grand master, submitted a very complete report of the transactions of his office. He opens by saying that Masonry is not a reformatory institution. Its purpose is not to make over the criminal 122 Appendix — Part I or the vicious and for that reason lodges should be very careful to scrutinize all material which may be presented for consideration . He further says that Masonry is not a political party nor religious sect and therefore none should be barred because he may differ from us in matters of faith or belief. The grand master issued a number of dispensations to meet condi- tions which arose in the lodges of the jurisdiction. He likewise refused a number of requests for dispensations showing that he went into the sub- ject very carefully. A long list of degrees conferred by courtesy is given as well as such waivers of jurisdiction as received the approval of the grand master. The George Washington Memorial Association is thoroughly endorsed and a full report given of the peace jubilee held by the Grand Lodge of England on June 27, 1919. Nine ceremonials incident to corner-stone layings are reported. They were in the main for school buildings and churches. It appears from what the grand master says that in West Virginia an officer must be qualified to do the work before he can be installed as master of his lodge. Under the subject of discipline there is reported a case wherein the in- stallation of the master was set aside until such time as he proved to the grand lecturer that he was competent to perform the duties of his office. No decisions were reported by the grand master. He states that he found the laws sufficient to take care of all questions which were submitted to him. The grand treasurer reports receipts of $30,915 and expenditures of $28,822. It is apparent that the grand lodge is operating upon a very nar- row, though satisfactory margin. The grand secretary's report deals in the main with statistics and figures. Some very interesting reports are submitted by the grand lecturer and show that every effort was put forth not only to disseminate the work of the jurisdiction, but to bring the lodges up to a high degree of efficiency. A half-tone portrait of the Masonic Home of the State appears in the proceedings indicating that the Masons of West Virginia have taken up the subject with a thorough understanding of what is required from them and with a desire to fully organize for the poor and the needy. Masonic Correspondence 123 The grand lodge stopped long enough in its proceedings to permit tributes of respect to be paid to several deceased Masons who had distin- guished themselves in the services of the craft. The Committee on Chartered Lodges shovr that the state made a net gain in membership of 1,220 during the year making the total number of Master Masons in the jurisdiction at the time of the report 22,880. One very interesting report is that presented by the special committee on the Cedar Rapids conference. The deductions reached were that such an organization not only would prove cumbersome and expensive but that it impaired the sovereignty of the various grand jurisdictions. For these reasons the committee report adversely on the proposition to join this organization. Two hundred and sixty-three pages of the proceedings under consid- eration are given over to printing the names of the members of the lodges of the state as well as the several officers. The report on correspondence is made by George W. Atkinson, and is a document of more than passing interest. He gives Illinois five pages of critical comment and quotes practically all that Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin said concerning the recognition of French Masonry. Tlie various transactions which took place' at the ses- sion of 1918 are very briefly enumerated. The correspondence report is taken up and gone into quite extensively. Brother Atkinson is very complimentary in speaking of this piece of work and has made liberal quotations all of which flatter the writer more than he can say. Brother Atkinson presents a most excellent review of all the grand jurisdictions and has said some very pertinent things which must be re- gretfully passed without reproduction. W. K. Cowden, G.M. John M. Collins, G.S. WISCONSIN, F. & A. M. 1920 The annual communication which was the seventy-sixth opened in the Scottish Eite Cathedral in the city of Milwaukee, on Tuesday, June 8, 1920, at two 'clock P. M. Eleven decisions are reported by the grand master, Charles E. Shane. He decided against two lodges which met in the same lodge room joining forces in the matter of conferring degrees upon candidates. One lodge sent 124 Appendix — Part I out a slip to members of investigating committees which contained the questions : Is he an American citizen ? Does he believe in our present form of government? Does he believe in American ideals and institutions? The grand master ruled that this should not be done, basing his opinion upon the ritual injunction that Masonry unites men of every country, sect and opinion. It may have been wrong to incorporate these questions into a printed form, but there is one thing mighty certain that it is the business of every investigating committee to satisfy themselves upon these all im- portant subjects. The grand master made a report on the Masonic Service Association of the United States and recommended that the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin does not affiliate or officially recognize said society. Five dispensations for the formation of new lodges were issued and the question of soliciting insurance in lodge rooms was brought to the attention of the grand lodge and the fact emphasized that masters of lodges should exercise their power of prohibiting such practices upon the ground that they are un-Masonic and not in accordance with the traditions of the craft. The grand master speaks of the condition of the fraternity and states that most lodges are buried under an avalanche of petitions for degrees and foi" this reason it is impossible to instruct candidates or to pay that attention to the newly made brother which is his due. The Grand Lodge of Wisconsin has a total membership of almost 40,000. The net gain for the year 1919 is 2265, a most excellent showing. The charity fund appears to be in a most flourishing condition. In fact the financial condition of the grand lodge shows total assets of $212,000. The Masonic Home of Wisconsin appears from the report of the Board of Trustees to be in a most excellent condition. A new building appears urgent but is being delayed owing to the high cost of materials and labor. The Grand Lodge of Wisconsin maintains a traveling library. From the record it is shown that it cost $332 to keep the books in circulation during the year. The principal business at this session is not out of the ordinary. One question which the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin wrestled with was that relating to collective working of candidates. The final conclusion reached was that only one candidate can be received and obligated at a time but that the second section of the Third Degree up to the historical lecture should be restricted to one candidate and the lodges were limited to one special communication to be held on the same day. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Aldro Jenks. Illinois is generously treated. Reference is made to the death of Austin H. Masonic Correspondence 125 Serogin and a splendid tribute is paid to his manhood and devotion to the fraternity. Brother Jenks refers to the amendment which was adopted last year concerning physical qualifications and makes the observation that the amendment speaks in no uncertain tone on a belief in God being prerequisite with petitioners for the degrees and argues that this would exclude any recognition of French Freemasonry on the part of the Grand Lodge of Illinois. He is pleased to note that the grand lodge refused to adopt an amendment requiring an aflSliation fee of $10. He speaks very highly of the correspondence report of this writer and expresses regret that the Proceedings of Wisconsin for the year 1919 were not reviewed. C. E. Shaffer, G.M., Madison, Wm. W. Perry, G.S., Milwaukee. WYOMING, A. F. & A. M. 1919 The annual communication, called the forty-fifth, was held in the city of Casper, opening Wednesday morning, October 8, at nine o'clock. The first item of interest was the reception of the American flag which was displayed in the east. An address of welcome was delivered to the grand lodge and properly responded to. The grand master, George E. Brimmer, presented his report to the grand lodge, but owing to a severe cold was unable to read same, which act was performed by the senior grand deacon. Like most grand masters he refers to Masonry in the war and the responsibilities which have come to us in the period of reconstruction which the country must undergo. The epidemic of influenza hit Wyoming with great severity, the re- sult of which was the closing of many lodges. This meant a great many dispensations to cover deferred meetings and to enable lodges to enact such business as was vitally necessary. Some very unusual recommendations are made by the grand master. He seems to think that the title of all property of subordinate lodges should be vested in the gTand lodge. He also seemed to think that legislation should be adopted which would prevent any subordinate lodge in the future from incurring any indebtedness amounting to more than $25 for each member of the lodge without either the written consent of the grand lodge or the Finance Committee of the Grand Lodge. A number of decisions were rendered by the grand master, three of which were not approved by the grand lodge. One of them related to the 126 Appendix — Part I conferring of degrees by members of the lodge who had never been past masters. He ruled that the master of a lodge has no authority to resign his official position in the lodge in favor of one who is not entitled by law to preside at the lodge. This decision was not approved. Tlie Masonic Service Association of the United States is reported in full and the grand master very strongly recommends affiliation with this organization. The delay in issuing annual proceedings is referred to and charged up to the epidemic of influenza which created such havoc in the state. The fact that two lodge halls were destroyed by fire on which there was no insurance lead the grand master to suggest that the grand lodge should take some means of protecting lodge property even though it had to as- sume title and take out necessary insurance. It appears that cipher rituals were found to be in general circulation among the lodges of the state and the question is presented to the grand lodge for such action as it may desire to take. Concerning the expenses of the grand master's office, Brother Brimmer reports that he expended the sum of $44.08 in discharging the duties of his office. He calls the attention of the grand lodge to the fact that the sum is not commensurate with either the dignity of the office or the re- , quirements. It appears that Wyoming has no grand lecturer and numerous demands having arisen for instruction in the work, the grand master recommends that the subject of the appointment of a grand lecturer be given consideration. The report of the grand secretary is complete and interesting. The re- ceipts for the year were $10,518 and the expenditures $12,542. The grand lodge administers its charity through a Masonic Home fund. A number of cases are reported and it is apparent that in each instance the grand lodge did its full duty toward the indigent member of the society. The report of the Committee on Fraternal Dead is short and the members of the grand lodge should enter no complaint when compelled to listen to its reading. A special report was presented by the Committee on Masonic Cor- respondence relating to the recognition of the Grand Lodge of France. Brother Lowndes seems unwilling to accept responsibility and recommends that the whole question be placed in the hands of the Committee on Juris- prudence. The grand lodge found favor with the recommendation of the grand master in reference to the Masonic Service Association of the United States and voted to take membership in that society. Masonic Correspondence 127 One thing the grand lodge did was to provide for an assistant grand lecturer at a salary of $1,000 per year. The installation of officers and the presentation of the jewel closed the session. The proceedings contained a very interesting honor roll of those mem- bers of the craft who participated in overseas service. The report on foreign correspondence was prepared by Joseph M. Lowndes, grand secretary. He reviews Illinois, but devotes practically all his space of one and one-half pages to a quotation from the address of George L. Schoonover which was made to the Grand Lodge of Illinois upon the occasion of his visit in 1918. Arthur K. Lee, G.M., Thermopolis. Joseph M. Lowndes, G.S., Lander.
