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

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, be glad and come into his courts with praise and thanksgiving. My brethren, I do just that, for like the Royal Solomon, I have been truly blessed by you; the Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Masons of this Grand Jurisdiction and the Great Architect of the Universe. You have provided this brother a joyful cornucopia of opportuni- ties and Masonic experiences that are awesome, unique, and filled with brotherly affection. The Great Architect, Creator of all there is, has likewise blessed us with good health to enjoy this jubilant journey. Joyfully I offer my Thanks and Praise for the privileges bestowed. WELCOME

Gooood Morning! A hearty welcome to each and every brother from entered apprentice to the Dean of our Past Grand Masters. On behalf of all members of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario, a special welcome to our distinguished guests from our sister provinces, our southern neighbours from the United States of America, and our brethren from the Bahamas, England, France, Germany and Greece. Brethren, with your presence we are indeed fortunate to experience the Universality of our Science at this our 146^^ Annual Communication and we look forward to your active participation in our assembly. NECROLOGY

The Psalmist said, "Be still, and know that I am Godl" And so they are, those brethren who brought a zest for "Living Better Masonically!" Their devotion

to their lodge, their district, and the Craft today makes them larger than life

and we miss them. They brought a courage to stand tall for Masonic tenets and principles; they lived their Freemasonry and we thank the Most High for the short lived opportunity we had to experience the radiance of their lives as Freemasons. Brethren such as:

R.W. Bro. Deryck R. Weber, I.P.D.D.G.M. of South Huron District. Deryck's smile and his hearty exuberance communicated 'Happiness' to all within his sphere.

R.W. Bro. Glen H. Sage, I.P.D.D.G.M. Ottawa District 2, who suffered a fatal heart attack October 24, 2000, while performing his labour of love, the Orator's lecture in the Scottish Rite Fifth Degree.

R.W. Bro. Paul J. McNeil, D.D.G.M. 1990 - Ontario District, Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of Maryland and a renowned member of the Grand Lodge Blood Donors' Committee. Paul worked diligently for the benefit of society with an enthusiasm and vigour that was contagious. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 23

R.W. Bro. Hugh M. Dunlop, D.D.G.M. 1976 - Chatham District. A gentle giant among Masons who with quiet dignity modestly conveyed the symbolic as well as the pragmatic lessons of our Fraternal Order.

R.W. Bro. John D. Atchison, G.D. of C. 1970, Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of Western Australia, an icon of Freemasonry in the Windsor District, will be sorely missed for his strength of leadership. Jack's intensity for maintaining the high standards of the Craft must not be forgotten and requires each of us to extend our efforts to hold the Masonic Banner high.

R.W. Bro. Frederick M. Cass, D.D.G.M. 1965 - Eastern District, served the Craft in many ways. As a member of the provincial legislature and provincial cabinet he served the citizens of Ontario well. With the same distinction he served our brethren as a Member of the Board from 1969 to 1975.

R.W. Bro. Roderick J. Connor, G.S.W 1969, Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of Puerto Rico, served the Craft in a multitude of capacities not the least of which was his eighteen years of dedication as a Member of the Board. Although we gratefully acknowledge his Committee and Board work it was his high energy level and his Communication of Happiness that endeared Rod to all of us. He was truly a brother with whom we were "Happy to Meet - Sorry to Part - Happy to Meet Again!"

On May 6, 2001, W. Bro. Donald N. Brant, the District Secretary of Prince Edward, passed away while discharging the duties of his district office. We regret his passing and extend our sincere sympathy to his wife and family.

As we symbolically hold the sprig of Acacia, together let us remember our own special brother with whom we touched shoulders. In tribute to our departed brethren I offer the following poem whose authorship is unknown.

TOUCHING SHOULDERS WITH YOU

There 's a comforting thought at the close of the day Wlien I'm weary and lonely and sad, That sort of grips hold of my crusty old heart

And bids it be merry and glad.

It gets in my soul and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through.

It is just a sweet memory that chants the refrain: "I'm glad I touched shoulders with youP'

Did you know you were brave, did you know you were strong? Did you know there was one leaning hard? Did you know that I waited and listened and prayed, And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know that I longed for the smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true? Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? 24 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

/ am glad that I live, that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I am thankful for sorrows, I'll meet with a grin What fortune may send, good or ill I tnay not have wealth, I may not be great. But I know I shall always be true

For I have in my life that courage you gave When once I touched shoulders with you. HONORARY RANK

Section 131 of the Book of Constitution basically states that Honorary Members - not exceeding seven in number appointed by Grand Lodge shall be recommended by the Grand Master. Although this is an honorary position according to the Constitution, reality determines that these brethren are appointed for and due to their expertise. It is with great pleasure, acknowledging the time, talent and proficiency that these brethren have given and will continue to give to our Craft, that I recommend the following brethren to another three-year Honorary Term on the Board of General Purposes. R.W. Bro. H. Neil Britton, R.W. Bro. Ronald K. Campbell, R.W. Bro. Terry A McLean and R.W. Bro. Robert T. Runciman.

WILLL\M MERCER WILSON MEDAL

The William Mercer Wilson Medal is an honour that few Masons acquire and although most prestigious it is sought for by others, not the recipient himself. Often I have heard the statement from a recipient "I don't understand why I am receiving this award. There are so many brethren who deserve it much more than I do." This is one of the qualities of all William Mercer Wilson recipients, a truly modest demeanour, brethren who express their kindness naturally, in thought, word and deed to all people. This year the Awards Committee, composed of M.W. Bro Howard O. Polk (chairman), M.W. Bro. N. Richard Richards and M.W. Bro. Durward

I. Greenwood, have again under the most stringent guidelines selected brethren of the highest calibre, in the persons of:

Bro. Kenneth Earl Brown Bro. Thomas Seager Granite Lodge No. 352, Parry Maple Leaf Lodge No. 600, Sound, Musk-Parry Sound District Etobicoke, Toronto 2 District

On behalf of all members of Grand Lodge we sincerely offer our heartiest congratulations to the distinguished recipients and extend our thanks to the Awards Committee for their hours of labour in maintaining the high stand- ards of this award. These brethren who have not been or will not become Master of their respective lodges have and continue to render themselves most extensively serviceable to their fellow man. May the Grand Geometric- ian bless you with good health as you continue to spread the joy of our fraternity. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 25

MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD

Once again, after reviewing the criteria and careful consideration, it is my pleasure to announce two recipients of the Meritorious Service Award. These respected brethren have and continue to work at all levels of our Fraternity. You will find them constantly active in their lodge, helping in the district, working on Grand Lx)dge committees, fulfilling leadership positions or serving in the shadows. These are brethren who with their light of loving kindness have laboured for many years depicting Freemasonry in a most positive manner. They are an example to all of us to emulate. It is with great privilege and pleasure that I present these recipients to you, in the persons of R.W. Bro. E. James Scarborough and R. W. Bro Kenneth L. Schweitzer.

SPECIAL THANKS

First, let me thank the members of the Board who have worked so diligently this past year for the progress of Freemasonry in our jurisdiction. I know it is impossible but I would like to dispel the rumour that the Board is a free ride. TANSTAFL'S LAW (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch) certainly applies to these devoted brethren. They do not receive an honorarium for their committee work. They pay for their own meals, gas, wear and tear on their vehicles and overnight accommodations. They spend hours and hours travelling, at meetings, at Grand Master's Receptions, district and lodge events, all at their own families' time and expense. WHY?

I believe it is their love of the Craft and their desire to render service for the benefit of their brethren. But ask them — and at the same time please personally thank them for all their efforts. To all Committee Members — District Committees, Ad Hoc Committees, Lodge of Instruction Team, Standing Committees and Special Committees, please accept my heartfelt "THANKS!" for all your devotion for the benefit of our Craft. This year, four members of the Advisory Group of the Board are retiring, in the persons of:

R.W. Bro. A. Paul Stephen (D.D.G.M. Muskoka-Parry Sound 1991) has faithfully served the Board since 1997 in a variety of positions, including chairman of the Membership and Long Range Planning Committees. His professional approach to problem solving and the tasks allotted will be missed by all those who were fortunate to work with this devoted brother.

R.W. Bro. Edward R. Habermehl (D.D.G.M. Waterloo District 1992) like- wise served as a member of the Membership and Discipline Committees and chairman of the Lodge Buildings (Advisory) Committee. We shall miss Ted's forthrightness in ensuring that the committees and the Board looked at each issue from all points of view.

R.W. Bro. Reade K Spence (D.D.G.M. Chatham District 1995) provided his talents to the Communications Committee as secretary and finally as 26 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION chairman since 1997. This quiet, unassuming brother provided strength and stability to the Board in general and the Communications Committee in particular. His ability to effectively analyze situations will be sorely missed.

R.W. Bro. Aired Morrow (D.D.G.M. Bruce District 1997) appointed for a two-year term served on the Workshops and Seminars Committee. We regret that due to personal obligations and family commitments Al is unable to continue to serve the Board at the present time.

Last year I did not have the opportunity to acknowledge the contribution made by R.W. Bro. Robert G. Wands, P.D.D.G.M. Hamilton B, a ten-year veteran of the Board. Bob served on the Audit and Finance Committee and was chairman of the Lodge Finances Committee for many years. Although he no longer serves on the Board, we appreciate and value his continued efforts with the Audit and Finance Committee and his willingness to share his expertise. To ALL of these brethren we extend our sincere thanks and wish them well in their future endeavours. R.W. Bro. Doug Angus - Grand Director of Ceremonies. You have performed your duties with great efficiency and friendship. Your planning and forethought in looking after our needs went far beyond any possible job description. Marjorie and I are indebted to you and your congenial lady Betty for making the second half of the term most pleasant, uplifting and enjoyable. Thank you my friend and Brother for your devotion and kindness.

MASONIC DIVINE SERVICES

Many lodges and districts continued the tradition of Divine Services and

Marjorie and I have appreciated the opportunity to participate and worship whenever possible with the brethren and their families. In particular, I wish to gratefully acknowledge the thoughtfulness of R.W. Bros. William D. Greason and D. E. Fergus Gracey, D.D.G.M.s of the London East and West Districts respectively, for arranging a joint Divine Service at my own

(Richards Memorial United) Church. I thank the Reverend Herb Summers for his inspirational Sermon and the choir (of which Marjorie is a member), directed by Mrs Donna Sloan, for their lively and upbeat music. It was a delight to see the sanctuary filled to capacity and the refreshments provided by the church ladies enhanced the fellowship that followed the service.

150th ANNIVERSARY

The Grand Lodge AF. & AM. of Canada in the Province of Ontario will be celebrating their sesquicentennial in 2005 A.D., 6005 AL. In order to mark this landmark appropriately, a special 150th Anniversary Committee was established, under the chairmanship of R.W, Bro. James E. Anderson.

This committee is in the initial planning stages to make this milestone in our history a most historic and significant year. I am also pleased to inform you that with considerable forethought our Grand Treasurer and the Audit TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 27 and Finance Committee have been setting funds aside to ensure a first class celebration. With eager anticipation, we look forward to the results of the Anniversary Committee's planning and our Grand Lodge Sesquicentennial Celebrations.

LODGE DEDICATION

It was with joyful anticipation that I looked forward to the dedication of the new home of Oak Branch Lodge No. 261, located in Innerkip, on April 21,

2001. Unfortunately, due to a family funeral, I was unable to attend and participate in this impressive ceremony. I especially thank M.W. Bro.

Durward I. Greenwood who, on extremely short notice, performed my allotted task with all the dignity befitting such an historical event. Similarly,

I express my appreciation to all who participated, with the guidance of M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, Grand Secretary, and R.W. Bro. Doug Angus, Grand Director of Ceremonies. NEW LODGE

On June 26, 2001, having received the petition complete with all the necessary requirements, it was my privilege and pleasure to grant Dispen- sation to form a Regular Lodge in the County of Waterloo denominated

"New Light Lodge." Once again, it has been recognized that many of our brethren have difficulty attending lodge in the evening hours. This daylight lodge will meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month, providing continuous opportunities to yield Friendship and Brotherly Love.

I congratulate the charter members on their foresight and wish the officers and members every success as they bring New Light to the brethren in the Waterloo community.

BROTHERHOOD BBQ

Grand Lodge hopes to promote the brotherhood of all mankind in this new century. There are many fraternal organizations that advocate similar values to that of Freemasonry, have charitable projects and contribute to a more humane society. Often we are not aware of their aims and objectives, and are suspicious of them as individuals or their organization through ignorance. As we enter the new age, let us endeavour to know one another, to cultivate understanding, reduce prejudice, enhance toleration and celebrate our likenesses and our differences. With this thought in mind, a Brotherhood BBQ was held at Maiden Park, in Windsor, on July 8, 2001. This family event, convened by a committee led by V.W. Bro. Don Banks, included Prince Hall Masons, Knights of Columbus, Oddfellows and many of our own members. The day was certainly informal and enjoyed by all who attended. We are indebted to the Brotherhood Committee for their pioneer- ing work to make this event such a memorable one. 28 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION MASONIC CONFERENCES

World Conference M.W. Bro Robert E. Davies and I, with our ladies, had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Fifth World Masonic Conference of Grand Lodges, held in Madrid, Spain, on May 24-27, 2001. The World is here under the Masonic Banner! Canada, England, Ireland Scotland, France, Russia, China, United States, Europe, North America,

South America, Africa, India . . . Fantasy? — No, Fact! and many more countries not mentioned. Brethren, Regular Masons gathered together to spread the light of Freemasonry over the whole of the habitable surface of the globe. My brethren, it is so uplifting to feel the goodness of the Great Architect and like-minded men working for the principles of our Order. The privilege, along with M.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies, to represent you (the Grand Lx)dge A.F. & AM. of Canada in the Province of Ontario) is awesome; the Reality is mind boggling! You - We, have a world distinction that makes a difference; for to maintain the principles of our Order we must maintain a presence and a voice. We were delighted that W. Bro. Wayne Savory, a P.M. of our own Victory Lodge No. 547, in Toronto, now affiliated and living in Spain, was assigned to be our guide by M.W. Bro. Thomas Sarobe, the Grand Maestro de Gran Logia de Espana. Wayne and his wife Sharon went out of their way to insure that our stay in Madrid was most pleasurable and we are indebted to them for their time, bilingual talent (Spanish) and kind hospitality.

North American Conference of Grand Masters This year the conference was held in Phoenix, Arizona. Three breakout sessions were presented. (1) National Masonic Foundation for Children; (2) Investments; (3) Solicitation Sessions. One and two were primarily of interest to our brethren from the United States. It was, however, an opportunity to favourably compare our Masonic Foundation operation and the investment planning of our Audit and Finance Committee. A special session for future leaders, entitled "Building Bridges to the Future," was presented by Mr. Joel A Barker, a motivation speaker with a lot of good content. Many of the positive items Joel presented are included in our own

Brother to Brother and Masonic Education programmes, and I am pleased to observe we continue to keep abreast if not excel in leadership building. Of special interest was the panel discussion and dialogue opportunity of the leaders of the various Masonic Bodies of North America. Many questions were raised with the Imperial Potentate regarding their new policy of taking

Master Masons directly into the Shrine. It was evident that all members of the panel wish to improve the harmonious cooperation between bodies and are endeavouring to promote the Masonic Family in a most positive manner.

Commission on Information for Recognition of the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America The chairman of the Commission, M.W. Bro. Neil Smalley, P.G.M. Ohio, TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 29 began the 49^^ Annual Report, paying tribute to the memory of R.W. Bro. Robert L. Diliard, P.G.M. of Texas, who was serving in his 34"" year as Secretary-Treasurer of the Commission. He will be sadly missed; his expertise also. M.W. Bro. Curtis N. Lancaster, P.G.M. of Utah, was elected Secretary- Treasurer. M.W. Bro. James E. Durbin, G.M. Illinois, was elected — the newest member - for a six-year term to replace M.W. Bro. Smalley who, as chairman, now retires. The following Grand Lodges were reviewed and in the opinion of the Commission are considered regular and meet the criteria for recognition. A. Gran Logia del Estado de Guerrero Mexico (Grand Lodge of Guerrero State, Mexico). B. The Grand Lodge "Benemerito Ejerico de Oriente" del Estado de Puebla, Mexico (State Grand Lodge of Puebla, Mexico). C. The Grande Loge Du Royaume Du Maroc (Grand Lodge of Kingdom of Morocco).

Contrary to some of the misleading information that you may have seen on the Internet, the Grande Loge de France is not considered regular and I quote from the Commission's February 20, 2001, report.

"The Grande Loge of France again requested a meeting with the Commission to present their case for regularity. A review of the data presented revealed nothing

had changed since their presentation last year. Therefore, the Commission is of the

opinion that the Grande Loge Nationale Francaise (GLNF) is still the only Grand

Lodge in France that is regular and meets the criteria for recognition."

All Canadian Conference The nineteenth Annual Conference of Grand and District Grand Lodges AF. & AM. was most capably led by M.W. Bro. George Cull, the Grand Master of our youngest Grand Lodge, the Grand Lodge of Newfoundland and Labrador. Many interesting papers provoked considerable discussion, including the premier topic "Grand Lodge Financing and Fundraising" most ably presented by our Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. Terry Shand. The brethren of Ontario will be pleased to know that when the assessments were compared, our Grand Lodge has by far the lowest per capita assessment of any Canadian Grand Lodge. We congratulate the Grand Treasurer, Grand Secretary and the Audit and Finance Committee for their money manage- ment skills that keep us in this enviable position.

GRAND LODGES - ANNUAL COMMUNICATIONS

Once again I thank you for the privilege of representing you, my brethren, at numerous Annual Communications, both in North America and at the Grande Loge National Francaise, in France. The opportunity to observe how different jurisdictions are addressing similar concerns is enlightening and in some cases quite beneficial, in my opinion, to our Grand Jurisdiction. Information, plans and solutions are exchanged in Grand Lodge as well as 30 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION in the halls, corridors and at social occasions. Wherever we have sojourned we have been graciously received with kindness and courtesy and I ask you my brethren to extend that same first class hospitality to our distinguished guests. SUPREME COUNCIL A. & AS.R. OF CANADA

The Supreme Council met in Winnipeg, Manitoba, for their 126^ Annual Session on September 14 - 16, 2000. Highlights of the event were the Installation of our Sovereign Grand Commander and the Coronation of the Active Members. In particular, we congratulate M.W. Bro. Norman E. Byrne as he enters his three-year term as Sovereign Grand Commander, and M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew, R.W. Bro. Allard B. Loopstra, R.W. Bro. Robert S. Whitmore and W. Bro. Donald D. Thornton who were Crowned Active Members in Ontario.

GRAND CHAPTER ROYAL ARCH MASONS OF ONTARIO

On April 6, 2001, we were graciously received by M.Ex. Companion John W. McGill in Kingston, Ontario. The sessions proved most lively and interest- ing. I particularly wish to thank the Royal Arch Charities Committee for their donation to our Millennium Project Help-2-Hear. It has been a source of jubilation for your Grand Master that all branches of our Masonic Family are uniting in support of this Masonic Foundation Charitable Project.

With humility, I gratefully accept and extend my thanks to the Grand First Principal for the Grand Chapter appointment of Grand Senior

Sojourner. I shall endeavour to merit such an honour bestowed.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Governor General's Caring Canadian Award: Congratulations are extended to Bro. Willis Nolan Rounding, a member of Atomic Daylight Lodge No. 686, in Pembroke, recipient of the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award. Bill's work with "The Canadian Executive Services Organization" recognizes his outstanding contribution to the citizens and communities throughout Ontario, Quebec and the High Arctic. We applaud our brother on receiving this distinguished honour and his Masonic action of using his talents for the benefit of others.

How can one relate all the special events that occur to a Grand Master over a year in a short space of time. IMPOSSIBLE! Like life, there was Good News and Bad News.

First, the Bad News: This past year primarily due to declining and aging membership a number of lodges have or are considering surrendering their charter. In some cases their members dispersed to disappear or on their own initiative affiliated with another lodge. In other cases, they opted to affiliate under the terms and regulations of the Constitution. To those brethren who served on amalgamation committees or chaired same, my sincere thanks for TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 31

rendering signal service under most difficult circumstances, ensuring a firm foundation for the future from a crumbling past.

Now the Good News: Amalgamations are working. With desire and a solid unification objective, the strength to rebuild the Craft is evident from the progress of some newly amalgamated lodges. Like successful marriages, where the new couple think and act as a family unit and oppose former

family interference, so too it is with amalgamated lodges who think of how things are today and will be in the future, not how they used to be.

The number of joyful occasions experienced is unbelievable. Presenting long service pins to brethren who have supported our Craft for fifty, sixty, seventy and more years. Each of these long service members have personal Masonic anecdotes to relate and listening to their stories of Masonic depth and

substance was a delight. For example, it was a pleasure and rare opportunity to acknowledge the historical service of W. Bro. Jack Brumpton, an 80 year member and 75 year Past Master of St. Mark's Lodge No. 94, at the St. Thomas District Grand Master's Reception, in Port Stanley. The enthusiasm displayed by lodges celebrating significant anniversaries, such as Moira Lodge No. 11, Belleville - 200^ Anniversary, Sturgeon Falls Lodge No. 447, Sturgeon Falls, and Xenophon Lodge No. 448, Wheatley - lOO'^ anniversaries. Witnessing the humility of a William Mercer Wilson recipient receiving his prestigious medal while his family and friends look on, smiling with justified pride and gladness for the distinguished brother. Participating in the Canada Day Parade, the Ploughing Match, fall fairs. Seeing the igniting spark of Masonic future in a newly-initiated brother's eye as his father introduces him as the newest member in the district was heartwarming.

October 17, 2000, was celebrated by unveiling the cornerstone located at the porchway or entrance of the new addition to the Cambridge Temple, which addition now provides more storage and social facilities - a tribute to the foresight of the participating lodges and the brethren of the Temple Board.

Saturday, November 4, 2000, was a special day when I returned to Windsor, Ontario (city of my birth), to participate in the unveiling of the Windsor Masonic War Memorial, located in Maiden Park. This fitting tribute of a 150

ft x 130 ft square and compasses formed in the side of the hill surrounding the granite ashlar, identifying the brethren who paid the supreme sacrifice of war for our freedom from the Windsor and Erie Districts, is a magnificent

accomplishment. It was the dream of W. Bro. Gene Lotz who overcame many difficulties to see this Memorial Tribute become a reality. Like the fresh evergreen tree that forms the focal point at the head of the memorial table we shall keep fresh the memory of their brotherly action providing us liberty, equality and fraternity.

It was a pleasure to be the first Grand Master to visit National Lodge No. 588, Capreol. The vitality, pride and enthusiasm experienced when they 32 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION provided a breakfast fit for a king to the Grand Master, Grand First Principal, Grand Lodge Officers and their ladies on March 31, 2001, was a morning we shall all fondly remember. Similarly, I shall always remember the St. Lawrence District Grand Master's Reception when the head table was piped in with the M.W. Bro. Robert J. McKibbon's March composed and played by Bro. Robert S. Miller.

Special events! Each day was a special event, producing a lifetime of memories. Thank you, my brethren!

MASONIC FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO AND PROJECT HELP-2-HEAR

Goethe wrote, "Higher aims are in themselves more valuable, even if unfulfilled, than lower one's quite attained." This term in our Grand Lodge's history will soon fade away. In a few short years the names of those who played a significant role in the present shall be but a faded memory of the past for those in the future. For the historian however, the names of R.W. Bro. Ronald K. Campbell, President of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario, and M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew, Chairman of our Help-2-Hear Millennium project, may have some significance. Do not despair my brother for your works have made and will continue to make a difference - "A SOUND DIFFERENCE!" The capital raised for Help-2-Hear will permit Hundreds, Thousands, yes, even Millions, of children in the future to "HEAR THE SOUNDS THE GREAT ARCHITECT CREATED" because "YOU CARED!" To the Help-2-Hear Committee, Area Representatives, District Repre- sentatives, District Deputies, Masters, Lodge Secretaries, Lodge Representa- tives and all Brethren and their families who supported this Vibrant project, feel the SOUND WAVE of SUCCESS. The children of the future may not know who you were, but they will praise your name Freemason, for you broke their sound barrier and made them whole. Congratulations, and Bless you, my Brother! MASONIC RELIEF

This past year natural disasters of flooding and earthquakes have occurred in New Mexico, Alabama and India. Through the Masonic Service Association, on your behalf, we have donated one thousand dollars each to these respective Grand Lodges in aid of our brethren in distress.

MASONIC UNITY AND THE FUTURE

Over the past Masonic year the Ontario Masonic Leaders have met five times with the objective to analyze and strengthen Freemasonry in Ontario.

It was pointed out that improved communication regarding appendant body events would be enhanced if they could utilize the Craft Lodge 34 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

summons. According to Section 270 of our Constitution the Lodge

Summons is restricted to Craft Lodge information only. On November 1,

2000, I issued the following policy change directive. "A portion of a Lodge Summons (at the discretion of the Lodge Secretary and with the approval of the Worshipful Master) may be utilized to inform the lodge members of other significant events to be held by Masonic Bodies with which we are in amity (Section 147). The information must be limited to a maximum of 20% of the notice content. (Note: notice content is the changing content regarding meetings and Craft events, e.g. Master's, Warden's and Secretary's

messages. It does not include the yearly stable data, such as officers' names, cover page, etc.) The significant appendant body content will be in point form, indicating: a) the special event; b) location; c) time and date; d) cost; e) contact person, address or telephone number." This trial basis ends tomorrow, July 19, 2001, with the Installation of the Grand Master. In my opinion this modification allowance to the summons has not been abused and indeed has accomplished the aim of improving

relations and communications among all Masonic bodies. It is my fervent uish that soon to be M.W. Bro. Terence Shand will extend this directive for another year and should the modification of lodge summons content continue to be successful that consideration be given to amend Section 270 in our Constitution.

Another result of the meetings of the Ontario Leaders is that we are working on producing a combined public relations pamphlet that will explain the Masonic Family relationship of Craft, Rites and Shrine. The Public Relations Representatives of each body are working diligently on the draft edition of this quality pamphlet and intend to submit their results in the fall to the Ontario Masonic Leaders.

Although I have attended my last meeting with this committee, I am pleased to tell you that it was unanimously agreed that Ontario Masonic

Leaders should continue to meet on a regular basis. I thank them for their cooperation in the past and wish them great success in their future endeavours. GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET

This evening we have, in my opinion, one of the most notable and knowledgeable Freemasons in the world as our guest speaker, R.W. Bro. James W. Daniel, Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England. His topic? "The future of the Craft: back to basics?" My brethren, we have the rare opportunity this evening to learn where

Freemasonry is, and where it shall travel in the future, for this brother has his finger on the pulse of our Order from a world perspective. Now I know some of us colonials have a certain perspective regarding Mother England. You know - stiff upper lip - distanced - looking from on high at the troops. Nothing could be further from the truth regarding our distinguished brother. He is a diplomat of the first order, charming, witty, and to put it in TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 35

British terms a Jolly Good Chap.

I appreciate that you my brethren like our traditional banquet meal of moose, venison, beaver, muskrat and partridge. However, in honour of our guest speaker the Royal York hotel have assured me that they vnW be serving a dinner fit for a queen, a more civilized entr6e of French Canadian cuisine, poulette de latex vulcanaire.

My brethren, I look forward to being with you and participating in a delightful evening of enlightenment, entertainment and fine fellowship. So, please join us, for we expect to announce the election results, and I assure you it will not be a late evening. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

My brethren, I have searched for an analogy that would adequately acknowledge my heartfelt thanks to all of you for the time, effort, assistance, work, programmes, concern and help and the wonderful support provided to your Grand Master. I thought in electrical terms of energy, capacity, generators, light, reserved power but it could not convey my gratitude. This Masonic journey has been so positive to be unbelievable and the experience out of this world, so I thought in terms of launching pads, rockets, space orbits communication and navigational systems but again the allegory would not disclose my earnest feelings of joy and appreciation adequately. So, with simplistic but most heartfelt thanks, I humbly acknowledge:

The District Deputy Grand Masters, who ably represented Grand Lodge, bringing light and leadership in their respective districts.

The Advisory Group and committee members, brethren who planted, cultivated and in some cases harvested Masonic seeds of Progress for the benefit of our Craft.

The Management Committee, who enhance the present and protect the future.

The Past Grand Masters, whose supportive sage advice and wisdom was always welcomed and appreciated.

The Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro Terence Shand, who, with friendly cooperation and foresight, is meticulously and diligently building a better tomorrow.

The helpful and cheerful staff of our Grand Lodge office, Dorothy Chalmers, Ilene Elder, Gail Nickerson, Cynthia Arnold and Rose Blandin, and special assistant R.W. Bro. Kenneth Schweitzer, who work diligently on our behalf and brighten any day we contact them.

The Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies, whose knowledge, efficiency, talent, and World Masonic Presence is a marvel to observe and joyfully recognize. 36 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Marjorie, my first lady in every respect, whose cheerful disposition and loving support knows no bounds; "You are My Sunshine and the Wind Beneath my Wingsl"

To all who have enhanced this marvellous Masonic Journey, THANK YOU! CONCLUSION

My brethren, our gentle craft is blessed with quality leadership in Lodges,

Districts and Grand Lodge. I leave you with this quote from an article entitled, "The Essence of Leadership," and ask you to pause for a moment as I do now, in tribute to these brethren who "Live Better Masonically!"

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end leaders are much like eagles .... They " don 't flock, you find them one at a time.

God Bless ! ROBERT J. McKIBBON

Auditors' Report

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

We have audited the statements of financial position of Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario as at April 30, 2001 , and the statements of operations and fund balances for the general and segregated funds for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the organization's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the organization as at April 30, 2001 and the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF THE GRAND TREASURER

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Everyone knows that financial markets have endured considerable turmoil during the period since we last reported to Grand Lodge. We are pleased to report that the condition of our investment portfolio remains sound, with two-thirds of our investments in quality government bonds, the balance in blue-chip equities. We have taken losses on several of our holdings but the market value of our holdings at year end (i.e. April 30th) was some $250,000 above our cost base. Prospects have brightened somewhat since April to the point we expect gradual recovery to keep our aggregate portfolio at a figure of $5,000,000 plus. Because of the losses incurred on some equities during this period, our rate of return in fiscal 2000/01 has been flat, but still the annualized average rate of return for the past five years is about 9.25%. We are projecting an aggregate return for the current year of 7.45%.

Caring for other people's money is a serious business and a considerable responsibility. The recent scenario of fluctuating markets has been a vivid reminder of that responsibility and provides renewed evidence of the importance of having a documented investment policy and a discipline of reviewing that policy regularly. In our repxDrt last year we advised of the important amendments which were made to the Ontario Trustees Act and to convey the importance of the formal adoption of an "Investment Policy" by those responsible for managing third party investments. We have recently concluded discussions with our investment manager, Scotia Cassels, to make available their professional services on an arrangement similar to the Grand Lodge portfolio to assist our Masonic bodies with their investment responsibilities to anyone interested in pursuing this opportunity. We suggest that you communicate through Grand Lodge with myself or the Chairman of Audit and Finance to be available to advise and provide introduction to Scotia Cassels. The operating results of our year are published in the Proceedings and again display careful management of our income and expense items by our Grand Secretary. The report of the Audit and Finance Committee deals with this aspect of our financial results. We wish to record our appreciation to those who have assisted in the management of our investments during the difficulties of this most recent period. A special word of thanks to Art Skeat and Ann Strebel at Scotia Cassels, as well as to Tom Lewis and his committee on Audit and Finance. Also, to the Deputy Grand Master and his Management Committee for the confidence and patience accorded us. We have been heartened by the support displayed and express our thanks. Respectfully and fraternally submitted. T. RICHARD DAVIES Grand Treasurer

On motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by the Grand Treasurer, the Report was adopted. 62 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION COMMITTEE OF SCRUTINEERS The Grand Master appointed the auditing firm, Grant Thornton, to serve as scrutineers this year.

Semiannual Returns

At the fiscal year end April 30, 2001, the annual audit again began without all Semiannual Returns having been received and the required statistical information for some lodges unavailable for accounting purposes. Again, I appeal to the Worshipful Masters to please make absolutely sure that your lodge's Semiannual Return is properly completed and returned to Grand 64 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Lodge prior to the eighth day of July and January each year. Any delay in submission results in unnecessary delay in data input at your Grand Lodge office and in the subsequent preparation of Master Mason certificates which are anxiously awaited by all newly raised brethren.

As I write this report (June 2001), Semiannual Returns for Colborne Lodge No. 91 and Garden Lodge No. 641, which were due January 8, 2001, have yet to be received. My brethren, without your cooperation and compli- ance with your Constitution of Grand Lodge, it becomes impossible to keep proper records and meet audit requirements. Many jurisdictions in North America impose severe financial penalties on lodges that repeatedly fail to submit returns on time. I would hope your Grand Lodge will not have to take similar action.

Printing and Publications

Again this year a wide range of books will be on display for sale on the Convention Floor and just at the top of the escalator as in previous years. During the year many publications of Grand Lodge have been reprinted and we trust that all the books you are looking for are now in stock. Following the Annual Communication of Grand Lodge, it is our intent to schedule reprinting of the Installation Ceremony and the Constitution of Grand Lodge as soon as possible.

Computerization

As one might imagine, software is constantly changing, requiring updating and a certain amount of massaging, and we are pleased to report that new routines providing increased amount of information and data are in place. Again, to the several volunteers who assist in keeping our computers functioning so well, we extend a heartfelt thanks.

Warrants

It is with regret that I report several lodges have initiated amalgamation proceedings. Unfortunately it must be reported that three lodges chose to surrender their warrants due to lack of members to carry on: namely. Queen

City Lodge No. 552, Toronto District 4; Westport Lodge No. 441, Frontenac District, and Hamilton Lodge No. 562, Hamilton C District. Similarly, six lodges have amalgamated with others in their areas: namely, Alvinston Lodge No. 323, Sarnia District, with Havelock Lodge No. 238, Sarnia District; Royal Lodge No. 453, Algoma District, with Shuniah Lodge No. 287, Algoma District; John Ross Robertson Lodge No. 545, Toronto 4 District, with Riverdale Lodge No. 494, Toronto 4 District; St. Alban's Lodge No. 514, Toronto 7 District, with Bay of Quinte Lodge No. 620, Toronto 3 District; Crystal Fountain Lodge No. 389, St. Lawrence District, with Salem Lodge No. 368, St. Lawrence District, and Forest Lodge No. 263,

Sarnia District, with Burns Lodge No. 153 in Sarnia District. Indeed, it is TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 65 our hope and prayer that the members of these lodges which are affected will continue their efforts within the Craft and will blend into their new Masonic lodges.

On a positive note, I am pleased to report that applications for warrants have been received for two lodges which have been operating under dispen- sation granted by the Most Worshipful the Grand Master. The records of the lodges applying for warrants were again excellent and all had complied with the direction of Grand Lodge in every way. It was gratifying to observe from the excellence of their records that these lodges have progressed well during their brief life span. Without hesitation, it is recommended that warrants be issued to the following two lodges presently operating under dispensation: a) Royal City Daylight Lodge U.D., Guelph, instituted on June 24, 2000, to be numbered 742 and placed in Wellington District; b) Mil- lennium Lodge U.D., Toronto, instituted on July 17, 2000, to be numbered 743.

It is further reported that an application for institution has been received from a group in Waterloo District wishing to form a Daylight Lodge. All documentation has just been received and I have no doubt that shortly their request may be granted.

Conferences

Once again it was my pleasure to accompany our Grand Master to the Canadian Conference of Grand and District Grand Lodges, which was held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and also to attend the Conference of Grand Secretaries of North America, which was held in Phoenix, Arizona. Just recently I journeyed with the Grand Master to attend the World Conference of Grand Lodges held in Madrid, Spain. It can be said that each of these Conferences, while in different settings, provided unique opportunities to speak with fellow Masons from around the world and to gain further insight into the universality of our great fraternity as well as the appendant problems in many parts of this world of ours. Hopefully, through concerned dialogue and support, this Grand Lodge may have assisted in the strengthen- ing of Freemasonry, not only at home but also abroad.

The Masonic Information Center

Again it has been my pleasure during this past year to work with the members of the Steering Committee of the Masonic Information Center, headquartered in Washington, D.C. While the committee meets only twice on weekends during the year, communication is maintained via fax, telephone and e-mail throughout the many months. The Information Center is quickly becoming known for its accurate source of Masonic information, which is made available to all venues of communications as well as the Masonic bodies in general. 66 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Closing

My Brethren, as I close this twenty-second annual Grand Secretary's Report,

I must recognize the co-operation received from the vast majority of the membership. Certainly all your efforts are appreciated by your staff in the Grand Lodge Office. We are there to work for you and we THANK YOU

for all your many courtesies extended during this past year.

This report would not be complete if I did not extend a personal thanks to a very special group of people, the staff in your Grand Lodge Office, who

work so diligently and co-operatively to make your office function as it does.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted. R. E. DAVIES, Grand Secretary

On motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by the Grand Secretary, the Report was adopted by Grand Lodge.

REPORTS OF THE DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS

The forty-six reports of the District Deputy Grand Masters were presented by the Grand Secretary, and, on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by the Grand Secretary, they were referred to the Board of General Purposes.

REPORT OF THE RITUAL COMMITTEE This Report was presented by M. W. Bro. C. E. Drew, and on motion of and seconded by R. W. Bro. T. Shand, it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge AF. & AM. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Section 6 of the Book of Constitution: The Ritual is under the direction of the Ritual Committee, which consists of the Grand Master, the Past Grand Masters and the Deputy Grand Master with a Past Grand Master appointed by them to act as Custodian of the Work. Section 7 states: No addition or alteration of the Ritual shall be made except that authorized by the Ritual Committee.

The Ritual Committee met on April 9th, 2001, to review proposed amendments to the Ceremony of Installation and Investiture (1994), which had been under consideration for some time. These amendments were approved and are incorporated in the reprinting of the Ceremony.

Lodges of Instruction were held in twelve locations in the fall of 2000, and twelve are planned for 2001, beginning September 21 in Anherstburg and concluding October 30 in Ottawa. Five Friday evening sessions, five Saturday morning and two midweek sessions are scheduled. A section on "Protocol and Etiquette" has been added to the regular agenda. Twenty-four well skilled brethren from all parts of the jurisdiction assist in the presentations. Over the four year cycle, the Lodge of Instruction team visits each of the forty-six districts. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 67

Regional meetings were held with all District Deputies in 2000 in late July and early August, and these will continue in 2001 with meetings hosted by the Grand Master, the Custodian of the Work, the Grand Secretary and the Deputy Grand Master, in London, Hamilton, Huntsville and Napanee. C. EDWIN DREW, Custodian of the Work

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC RELATIONS This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. D. A. Campbell, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Campbell, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It is my pleasure to present this report on behalf of the following dedicated committee members: R.W. Bros. Doug Clouse, Doug Conway, Tom Cook, Ray Dobbs, George Hinds, Carl Miller, Rick Roberts, David Sheen (Secretary), Harvey Street; V.W. Bros. John McLaughlin, George Napper (Vice Chairman); Bros. Brian Hillyer and Steve Magwood.

'Be informed so that you can inform'

One of the key roles of the Public Relations Committee is dealing with external communications, speaking to those who are visitors to Masonry and informing the public of who we are and what we stand for. Numerous books, publications and materials explaining Freemasonry are available for that purpose.

Grand Lodge Incentive Programme Grand Lodge wants to give your District $1,000 to showcase Masonry. The Public

Relations Committee, in an effort to fulfil its mandate, agrees that Masonic Information Booths, Kiosks or Displays (hereafter called Masonic Information Booths) have proven to be a very effective vehicle when used to inform the public about Freemasonry. The use of Masonic Information Booths at public venues and events such as mall demonstrations, community conventions, open houses, and fall fairs has taken place throughout our entire jurisdiction. It is important to realize that the brethren have been showcasing Masonry. The committee recognized that Grand Lodge has invested in excess of $65,000 for materials and equipment to assist lodges and districts in communicating information about Freemasonry to their respective communities. It is our belief that the lodges and districts be encouraged to play a more proactive communication role. We unanimously recommend that Grand Lodge participate in an incentive programme to assist those districts wishing to purchase their own Masonic Information Booths and/or the display graphics. This initiative would be a one time incentive programme with funding restricted to only those products purchased which adhere to the recommended guideline. Grand Lodge will reimburse your district spending on a dollar for dollar basis, up to a maximum of $1,000. Yes, this means that if your district spent $2,000 or more on approved display materials, your district will receive the maximum amount of $1,000 from Grand Lodge. Alternatively, if your district spent $500, they will receive $250. 68 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

A catalogue depicting different styles of Masonic Information Booths was produced and sent to the District Deputy Grand Masters. The catalogue gives an idea as to what type of items will be approved by the programme, but you are by no means limited by what is contained within its pages. We recommend that you obtain pre-approval of any items that you are considering for purchase. Can two or more districts jointly participate in the program? Yes. It may be beneficial for some districts, which have a 'past related' history, to work together, such as, Ottawa Districts 1 and 2, or Wilson North and South Districts, or Toronto Districts

3 and 4. Keeping in mind, each district is entitled to $1,000. As an example, if Wilson Districts, together, spent $4,000 on a display. Grand Lodge would reimburse Wilson South District $1,000 and Wilson North District $1,000. We wish to reaffirm that your Grand Lodge Public Relations Committee is ready and willing to aid you, whether it be developing a potential inventory, helping organize a Masonic Information Booth and/or training those brethren who may be participating in the Masonic Information Booth.

Pointed Questions - Straight Answers A subcommittee chaired by R.W. Bro. George Hinds, has been formed to address pointed questions the public may have about Freemasonry. Their goal was to prepare an up-to-date document or brochure, depicting and explaining "What would you say to a person who is not a Mason and what would you tell him about Freemasonry."

Their work is almost complete. They have produced a research paper that will be forwarded to the Management Committee. The contents are not confidential, nor does it contain anything that cannot be read by the general public. However, it is directed to the Mason, and has not been written as a handout for non-Masons. It will serve its purpose the best if used as a reference and resource by the Mason who would like to improve skills in responding to questions about the Craft. Our thanks to R.W. Bro.

George Hinds and committee members: R.W. Bros. Raymond S. J. Daniels, William Sanders, Richard Roberts and Mike Woolley.

Special Events, Information and Publication Under the chairmanship of R.W. Bro. Carl Miller, this subcommittee was active and progressive. They travelled across the province with the Custodian of the Work, M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew, at the Lodges of Instruction. This proved to be extremely successful. We are addressing the needs of our brethren by providing them with publications to advance their Masonic Education. Book sales totalled $6,097.85 this year, include:

• 283 copies of the Book of the Work,

• 379 copies of the Memorial Service, and

• 263 copies of the Guidelines for Lodge Officers.

Masonry was showcased at the Simcoe County Heritage Day and Plowing Match (August 19 to 20), at the Western Fair (September 8 to 17), the Kinmount Fair

(September 1 to 3), the Great Train Ride - Spry Lodge No. 385 (September 16), the

Markham Fair (September 28 to October 1) and at the Thornhill Festival (September 16). Other activities included the Santa Claus Parade in Newmarket, Beeton, Sutton and Aurora. The 2000 International Plowing Match (IPM) in Flora. At this event, Mrs. Ruby Whitten attended and autographed her Tried and True Recipe Books that were purchased in support of Help-2-Hear. A Press Release was generated for the media TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 69 prior to the attendance of the Grand Master and this initiative received positive feedback. Congratulations to R.W. Bro. Art Rake and the London team on receiving an Achievement Award for their display at the Western Fair. They also received the Western Fair Achievement Ribbon for making Masonry more visible to the general public. All venues were a great success.

Ontario Masonic Leaders At the request of the Ontario Masonic Leaders Committee, Public Relations chairmen from the Mocha, Rameses, and Tunis Shrine Temples, Royal Arch Masons, Scottish

Rite Masons and the Sovereign Great Priory met in Toronto on Friday, February 9, 200 L This newly formed committee discussed:

How does your organization address communications with the public sector?

»• How can we coordinate our individual mandates?

How do we promote the joint events planned for 2001?

A lively discussion occurred about many various questions that impact the masonic Family. It seems to be the consensus that we need to do a better job of communicating what we are all about to our members to overcome the aura of secrecy to attract the public. It has been recommended that this group meet regularly and report to our respective leaders. This year, the Public Relations Committee worked as a team to develop and implement its goals. Much more work has to be done. Masonic public perception is every Mason's responsibility. We believe a better informed Mason will be able to more effectively communicate the aims and objects of our Craft.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted. DONALD A. CAMPBELL, Chairman

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. T. Shand, Chairman, and on motion ofKW. Bro. Shand, seconded by R.\V. Bro. J. T. Cassie, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

I am pleased to present this report on behalf of the Management Committee and its several members who serve our Grand Lodge throughout the year with their expertise and sage counsel.

The Management Committee, whose mandate is described in Section 136(j) of the Book of Constitution, met seven times during this past year to address numerous recommendations of the standing and special committees. In addition, two meetings of the Advisory Group (comprising the Past Grand Masters, the 35 Honourary, Elected and Appointed members of the Board of General Purposes) were held in October 2000 and April 2001, to receive reports and review the activities of the Board. The Grand Lodge committee chairmen met in August 2000, to outline committee objectives for the ensuing year, then in December 2000, to review progress and to update assignments, and again in June 2001, to discuss and plan the alignment of 70 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

committee responsibilities in relation to the draft Strategic Plan 2001 - 2006. While chairmen of the respective committees are derived from members of the Board of General Purposes, there are many other active members who travel extensively to serve on our various committees. I sincerely thank each of them for their invaluable contribution and encourage anyone desirous of participating on a committee of Grand Lodge to seek out a chairman and indicate a willingness to become involved. In January 2001, the immediate past District Deputy Grand Masters were invited to participate in a review of their tenure in office, to identify concerns and to make recommendations that, on reflection, might not have been included in the annual reports. Then in February 2001, an interim meeting of the present District Deputy Grand Masters was held to interact on relevant issues and to refocus on aims and objectives. Long Range Planning Symposium

A two-day symposium held January 27, 28, 2001, at Creiff Hill Conference Centre, near Guelph, was attended by 27 members representative of the Board of General

Purposes and Past District Deputy Grand Masters. It proved to be an invaluable exercise in the review and analysis of the existing long range plan and in the development of a draft Strategic Framework, 2001 - 2006.

Our Vision Statement To be the World's foremost Fraternal Organization by re-affirming the traditional Masonic values with Brethren acting on the Square.

Our Mission Statement

Freemasonry in Ontario is a Fraternal Organization encouraging a way of Life, promoting Fellowship, Leadership, Charity, Positive Family Values and the practice of one's Faith for the Cause of Good.

Four key areas were identified for future planning; the fraternal environment, leadership development, internal and external communications. Strategies were developed in each of these areas and will be implemented in the coming months and years. Ad Hoc Committees

Ad Hoc Committee activities on the condition of Masonry have been ongoing at Hamilton, London, Ottawa, and Toronto, as have the orientation sessions for aspirants to the office of District Deputy Grand Master.

The Ontario Mason Magazine

The Masonic magazine, under the leadership of its new editor, R.W. Bro. David

Dainard, assisted by its capable editorial staff, continues to upgrade in appearance and material content. Any member desirous of acting in the capacity of Field Correspondent in the gathering of local photos, talks, speeches, letters, author and

research materials, suitable for inclusion in its production is encouraged to contact the editor. Grand Lodge Committees

It has been a pleasure, privilege and an enjoyable administrative challenge, to have been afforded the opportunity to participate with a team of enthusiastic committee chairmen, together with board and committee members, who serve the standing and special committees of Grand Lodge. Of the 1 1 proposals made by eight committees, TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 71 nine were recommended to proceed and I thank all of those affected by Management Committee recommendations for their understanding and forbearance.

All of which is respectfully submitted on behalf of the following committee members: M.W. Bro. R. J. McKibbon, Grand Master; M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, Grand Secretary; R.W. Bros. J.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARY, MUSEUM and ARCHIVES COMMITTEE This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. B. K. Schweitzer, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Schweitzer, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

On behalf of the Library, Museum and Archives Committee consisting of R.W. Bros.

M. Duke, J. Hough, D. Jagger, G. Jones (vice chairman. Museum), J. Reid, R. Walsh, R. Wands, G. Wilkes (vice chairman, Library), V.W. Bro. D. Washer and the undersigned as chairman, it is my pleasure to submit this report. The Grand Lodge Library was first established in Toronto at the Masonic Temple at 888 Yonge Street in 193 L It will mark its seventieth year of operation in the year

2001. Since its conception a number of changes have taken place. In its history the

Library has moved from Toronto to Hamilton, and from the lower level to its present location on the second floor of the Grand Lodge Memorial Building. In 1995 the library expanded and officially opened a museum, which features a collection of artifacts and memorabilia that once belonged to some of our Past Grand Masters, as well as pictures, and other artifacts related to Masonry. The cornerstone of the Masonic Temple at 888 Yonge Street, as well as the contents of the time capsule found within are also a part of this Masonic Museum. The Library and Museum Committee has great concerns about the preservation and historical value of these pieces of Masonic memorabilia. Many of the artifacts on display in the showcases surrounding the library represent the lives and times of those 72 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

before us. Some Masons will have recollections of these lives and times. Many will not. The Library and Museum Committee has great concerns about preserving our great Masonic past and after many hours of research has drafted a job description for the position of Archivist for the Library, for our present and future brethren. In past years, as part of our heritage, some of our Grand Masters have been requested to relate their Masonic views and experiences in the form of a video-taped interview after their term of office. Arrangements have been made for our last eight Past Grand Masters to have the opportunity to add their experiences related to Masonry collectively for the past two decades. The Library Committee looks forward to adding these historical moments to its collection. This year's committee has also submitted an article detailing all aspects of the library to the Ontario Mason for publication. We anticipate that this article of promotion will reach the homes and lodges of many brethren. During the months of May to the end of October 2001, Union Lodge No. 7, Grimsby, will have some of the history and artifacts of their lodge on display in the Grand Lodge Museum. Please take time and visit. To request a book, videotape, audiocassette or information about the library please write, fax, or e-mail the Grand Lodge office ([email protected].). The materials are shipped free of charge and all we ask is that return postage be paid. Over the past ten months only 100 brethren have visited the Library and Museum borrowing some 147 books and 27 audioMdeo cassettes. Our "mail-out" service has provided 18 brethren throughout the province with 40 books and 5 videocassettes. The resources that this library has to offer appear to be unappreciated.

Let us remember that Masonry "is a progressive science" and that our ceremonies are an important function. However, the education of our members is the responsibility of those entrusted in the government of our lodges. The purpose and mission of the

Library is to supply some of the resources in order to assist in the building of that education.

A sincere thank you is extended to those brethren who give so greatly of what spare time they have to be our librarians: R.W. Bros. D. Clouse, P. James, D. Jagger, K. Schweitzer, R. Daniels; W. Bros. H. Ogilvie, D. Rowbottom, P. Seines, R. Todd. We thank M.W. Bro. Davies and the Grand Lodge office staff for their assistance. Respectfully and fraternally submitted. B. K. SCHWEITZER, Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS

This Report was presented by KW. Bro. G. H. Hazlitt, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Hazlitt, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It is a privilege to present this report on behalf of the dedicated, committed, and hard- working brethren who served on the Seminars and Workshops Committee during this

Masonic year: R.W. Bros. Barry J. Gyton, Lloyd W. Hammell (Vice Chairman), Peter F. Irwin (Secretary), Aired L. Morrow, M. Lee Shea, Bruce N. Whitmore, and V. W.

Bros. Donald J. Banks and George A. Napper. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 73

The committee met on seven occasions between August 2000 and March 2001 in the Guelph Masonic Centre. The committee's mandate was to provide a series of

educational programmes that would be made accessible to all brethren in the jurisdiction over a two or three year time span. Accordingly, a series of Seminars were developed for three half day presentations commencing in the Spring of 2001.

The following is a list of the topics and their respective presenters for the 2001 Spring Workshops: THEME: WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR YOUR LODGE? Education With A Twist R W. Bro. Bruce N. Whitmore Some of Necessity Must Rule and Teach R. W. Bro. Terry McLean It's The Little Things That Count K W. Bro. Aired L. Morrow The Lodge Open House R. W. Bro. Aired L. Morrow

Information Connection. Think it. Share it. R. W. Bro. Reade K Spence Do What You Please and Begin W. Bro. Arthur Berry Thanks a L.O.T. (Lodge Officer Teamwork) RW. Bro. Bud Funnell

Public Relations . . . Media/Incentive Program R. W. Bro. Don Campbell Bro. Steve Magwood

Several districts were invited to join their hosts for these spring sessions: London (April 21) - London East and West, North and South Huron, St. Thomas, Wilson North and South. Barrie (May 12) - Georgian North and South, Grey, Bruce,

Muskoka-Parry Sound, Toronto 1-7. Ottawa (May 26) - Ottawa 1 and 2, Eastern,

Frontenac, St. Lawrence.

It is our intention that these workshops will again be presented in the fall of 2001. The host districts will be finalized in the late summer. The brethren were invited to come together in these sessions to enjoy and learn in Masonic fellowship. The sessions varied in length from 20 - 40 minutes. Brethren were able to select a number of sessions that were of interest to them with the intention that the information would, hopefully, be used in their respective lodges for the benefit of all. The committee extends sincere appreciation to the D.D.G.M.S of the host districts for assisting during the morning sessions with set-up and registration. However, the fact that you, brethren, were there to take part, to interact with the presenters and with each other, and to take the information back to your respective lodges to put into practice for the betterment of all, means everything to this committee. It demonstrates your commitment to yourself and to the Craft. Isn't it true, then . . .

If you have knowledge, Let others light their

Candles by it. Fuller Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee. GREG H. HAZLITT, Chairman 74 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON LODGE BUILDINGS

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

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

This report is presented on behalf of the committee, comprised of R.W. Bros. Peter Irwin, Leslie Dawley, Raymond Daniels, Walter Mitchell, Allan Dunsmore and Charles Reid. The Cambridge Masonic Temple underwent an extension during the summer of 2000. They held a special ceremony on October 17, 2000, to mark the accomplishment. There has been one dedication this year; Oak Branch Lodge No. 261, Innerkip, on

April 21, 2001. This is also the home of Blenheim Lodge No. 108.

There is much activity ongoing within our jurisdiction. The following buildings are currently under new construction or are being renovated:

• Cochrane Lodge No. 530 is almost finished renovating their new building and will be applying for dispensation to hold meetings in their new home. They are hoping to have their lodge room dedicated in the fall of 2001.

• The Orillia Masonic Temple Corporation purchased a building on the south side of Orillia and are about to start renovations this summer (2001). The new building is a single storey facility that will make it easier for the brethren to gain access to the building.

• The Guelph Masonic Temple renovations started in July 2000 are ongoing. The project has become larger than anticipated in the beginning, and has subsequently taken longer to finish than first planned. They hope to finish sometime this summer.

• Havelock Lodge No. 238, in Watford, is currently renovating their new home and they have applied for dispensation to hold their meetings there. They also hope to have their dedication in the fall of 2001.

• Manito Lodge No. 90 is about to start the reconstruction of their building in downtown Collingwood. The old building was in the section of the town that was destroyed by fire last year.

• Colborne Lodge No. 91, Colborne, suffered the loss of the use of their building after extensive water damage sustained during a heavy rainfall. They are currently meeting in Cobourg.

Unfortunately, the lodge building in Woodbridge had to be sold this past January. The building was the victim of a mould that contractors would not guarantee that they could remove it entirely. The corporation decided that it was in the best interest of everyone concerned to sell the building. The tenants have all found other accommodation in the Toronto area. The committee took upon the task this year of setting up a series of suggestions for lodge buildings in the areas of safety, security and insurance concerns. They are intended for both old and new buildings in that they point out some of the areas that are often overlooked by the trustees of the buildings. Unfortunately, several of the lodge buildings in Ontario have had costly problems due to some of these items having TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 75 been missed. These suggestions have been submitted to the Management Committee for approval. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee. WILLIAM C. THOMPSON, Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNAL RELATIONS

This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. J. D. Jackson, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R W. Bro. Jackson, it was adopted.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Your committee on Fraternal Relations met in the Board Room of the Grand Lodge

Memorial Building in Hamilton on Monday, April 9, 200L Five pending requests for Recognition were considered from Grand Lodges in Europe and Africa. After careful deliberation your committee concurs that The Grand Lodge of Croatia is regular in every respect and therefore we recommend Recognition be extended to this Grand Lodge. Similarly, after finding The Grand Lodge of Morocco to also be regular and operating in a most satisfactory manner, we also recommend that The Grand Lodge of Morocco be granted full Recognition. The National Grand Lodge of Romania, The Grand Lodge of the Congo and the

Grand Lodge of Poland were fully reviewed and your committee is not prepared at this time to recommend Recognition of any of these three Grand Lodges Further correspondence received over the year from other recognized Grand Lodges was noted and filed. Inasmuch as the additional correspondence mainly dealt with the increasing activity of several clandestine Grand Lodges in Europe, your committee feels obliged to recommend as follows:

a) Any brother planning Masonic visitation while in Europe should seek from his Grand Lodge Office, current information on Masonry in the area of his intended travel.

b) All brethren must be ever vigilant in visiting only lodges in Regular and Recognized Jurisdictions.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Committee on Fraternal Relations. JAMES D. JACKSON, Chairman

REPORT OF THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. A. J. Petrisor, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Petrisor, it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge AF. & AM. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The Membership Committee is a special committee of Grand Lodge, which oversees the Mentor and the Friend to Friend programmes. R.W. Bro. Barry Hutton, project leader of both programmes, sent out materials early in the new Masonic year to each 76 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION of the 46 District Deputy Grand Masters for use in their Districts. The mentor lectures and guidelines were retyped into the Microsoft Word format for ease of distribution by e-mail or floppy disk. A one-page outline was prepared on How to Successfully Implement a Friend to Friend Night, which formed part of the materials forwarded. Pamphlet The pamphlet "Guidelines for the Committee of Inquiry" of a prospective candidate is available from Grand Lodge and can be readily ordered and copied for use by lodge members who serve on a Committee of Inquiry.

Audio Tape for the Non-Mason An audiocassette tape has been developed for lodge members to offer to non-Masons who are interested to learn more about Freemasonry and its historical background. Each Lodge will receive a complimentary copy and further copies will be available for individual purchase. Recorded on both sides the audiotape runs for approximately 15 minutes total. The committee offers its sincere thanks to the narrator W. Bro. Don O'Neil, V.W. Bro. Ted Morris for the script and Bro. Mark Nakamura for the production of the tape.

Leadership Workshop At the request of the D.G.M., the committee was instructed to research, develop and conduct a pilot project based on training for Officers in their progression to that of Worshipful Master. The committee reviewed a "Worshipful Master's Notebook" prepared by R.W. Bro. Peter Matijek that has been used with success in Temiskaming District. The materials contained therein are from readily available Grand Lodge books and pamphlets. It was decided that rather than reproduce the Notebook, a reference index should be formulated indicating which topics are available from what sources. "Towards the Square" forms the basis of this index. Reference materials would include "The Masonic Manual," "Meeting the Challenge," "Beyond the Pillars," "Guidelines for Lodge Officers in the Mechanics of the Work," as well as the "Book of Constitution," the "Book of The Work," and the revised "Memorial Service" booklet. A recent Grand Lodge Workshop corroborated the need for training in this area. Subsequently, a pilot project of Workshops was conducted, at Hanover and Peterborough, with Wardens and Deacons as the target group. Thoughts on Leadership, Insight into the Master's Chair and Protocol and Etiquette formed the topics presented in the Workshop. A breakout session of small groups were involved in answering questions related to these topics. The newly reprinted t)ooklet "Towards the Square" would be stressed as a "must have" item for aspirants to the Master's chair. Feedback gained from the workshops will provide recommendations for its continuance in other districts.

Fifty Year Jewel The committee researched the costing of a new design, fifty-year jewel, for presentation to members who have attained that milestone. Many Masons have felt that Grand Lodge should investigate reinstatement of a jewel similar to one which was discontinued in 1964. In the year 1999 - 2000, 774 Masons were awarded a fifty-year lapel button and certificate. A feasibility study for rejuvenation of the jewel is ongoing.

Appreciation

Once again, the committee appreciates the cooperation and effort of all brethren who are responsible for promoting our programmes and extends special thanks to our many Regional Coordinators for their valued input. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 77

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON LODGE FINANCES

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

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

On behalf of the Advisory Committee on Lodge Finances, it is my pleasure to submit the following report.

I wonder how many Masons know that Grand Lodge has an Advisory Committee

on Lodge Finances? How many know that this committee is willing to provide free advice to lodges and Lodge Building Corporations who may have questions of this nature? How many know the mandate of this committee as follows?:

• To assist lodges in every way possible, in the management of their financial affairs; • To intervene and investigate the financial condition of any lodge, at the request of the Grand Master, and to recommend to the Grand Master such remedial measures as deemed appropriate; • To formulate and report to the Management Committee any policies, proposals, or recommendations concerning accounting and auditing practices which are directed to establishing improved financial procedures throughout the jurisdiction.

As we all know. Masonry is a beautiful system of morality to which we are all dedicated and to which many brethren might argue has brought our fraternity safely to the 21" Century. In addition to morality, our fine Craft will need to exercise sound financial planning in order to survive into the next Century. Our Order has been able to survive by adapting to meet the times. The future will be no different. In order that the Craft survives for our children's children in today's economy, we need to utilize sound financial practices as well as moral stability.

Fiscal planning is the key to a sound financial lodge or Lodge Building Corporation.

The fiscal year of a lodge ideally begins with the Master-elect planning and communi- cating his ideas for the meetings and special events for the upcoming Masonic year. As 78 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

this planning is underway, so is that of the lodge committees, including the Finance/ General Purposes/Ways and Means (or whatever you may call it in your lodge). The lodge budget represents a systematic attempt at gathering all the lodge financial information in order to project a 'bottom line.' When the results are favourable, that is, there is excess income over expenses, the lodge is in the enviable position of budgeting for a surplus. However, if the budget is unfavourable, when the expenses exceed the income, this is an indicator of a potential problem. Just like your own household, each lodge should operate on a balanced budget to remain viable. Just like your own household, any shortfall in income must be supplemented or expenses must be reduced.

Sounds easy, doesn't it! If this was all there was to lodge financial management, the task of lodge financing would be pretty straightforward. Many of the lodges in our jurisdiction are well managed financially and have the luxury of being in a good financial position. However, we do have a number of lodges that are in financial difficulty. We have lodges that are not operating on a budget plan; not using proper accounting techniques; using capital dollars to support their operating fund; are underfunding their Life Membership programmes; have different levels of dues structure; have many members in arrears; that do not have separate lodge and building accounts; and those that are paying more municipal tax assessment than they should. Over the years, this committee has developed a simple method of recording the finances of the lodge, which is available from our Grand Lodge Office. Some of the principles which have been developed are as follows:

1) The operation of the lodge and building should be independent of each other; 2) Operate your lodge/building on a long range budget plan; 3) The use of proper accounting techniques; 4) Operating the lodge from the Operating Fund; 5) Properly funded Life Membership programmes; and 6) One dues rate structure.

In addition to the promotion of these principles, your Grand Lodge Committee on Lodge Finances has been working on the following initiatives over the past year:

• Preparing materials for Seminars and Workshops throughout the jurisdiction - Tne

committee has offered its services to the Seminars and Workshops Committee of Grand Lodge and to each District Deputy Grand Master to present a seminar on Lodge Finances or provide advice to any lodge desiring input on their financial management system. The members of this committee continue to make themselves available to provide advice for the management of lodge finances and to assist lodges in financial difficulties. We trust that the advice we offered this year has been of assistance.

• Improved communications - A letter was sent to each current D.D.G.M. identifying the committee mandate with an offer of our assistance; the same has been posted

on the Grand Lodge web site; our services were offered to the Seminars and Workshop Committee; and an article detailing the work of this committee was submitted to the Ontario Mason.

• An alternative computerized financial management package - There have been a number of reports from lodges who are not using the current Quicken package for a variety of reasons. A user-friendly Excel Lodge Financial Recordkeeping Package TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 79

was developed and provided to the Computer Resources Committee for distribu- tion as an alternative for lodges to choose for a Secretary/Treasurer to track the financial operation of the lodge.

The following items have been submitted to the Management Committee for their review and recommendation:

• "Guidelines for a Lodge Financial Audit" for the Lodge Auditor - Not only is it important to pick brethren who have some basic business background with more

senior status to be the auditors of the lodge financial records, but it is equally important that they have a set of guidelines detailing their responsibilities and duties.

• Review of the Life Membership Table in the Book of the Constitution - A new actuary table was developed and compared with the 1997 version in the appendix

of the Constitution and it was determined that no changes were necessary at this time, but should be reviewed every five years. The importance of a properly funded Life Membership Fund has been stressed in a letter that will be available for D.D.G.M.s to forward to each of their lodges encouraging them to review their Fund with respect to the guidelines in our Constitution.

• Individual offers of assistance - The twenty-seven lodges, that were identified by the respective District Deputy Grand Masters in the previous year's reports to the Grand Master as having financial difficulties, have been contacted by this committee with an offer of the advisory services of the committee's membership.

This committee also reviewed all the financial statements in a representative District

and found little consistency and many questions arose. To speed the process of identifying those lodges in need of such help and to assure consistency in reporting the essential financial items, this committee has prepared a proforma "Financial Statement for the D.D.G.M. Official Visit" that would go directly to this committee so that the offer of assistance can be made in a more timely fashion.

I sincerely thank M.W. Bro. W. T. Anderson; R.W. Bros. R. E. Collins, T. G. Janes, T. E. Lewis, H. E. Standish; V.W. Bro. M. N. Woodcock and W. Bro. J. A. Noseworthy, for their time and interest in mentoring the chairman and assisting the committee. Respectfully and fraternally submitted. T. W. HOGEBOOM, Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MASONIC EDUCATION

This Report was presented by RW. Bro. D. G. Dowling, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Dowling, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

I am pleased to present this report on behalf of the Masonic Education Committee and its members: M.W. Bro. David C. Bradley; R.W. Bros. Bruce N. Whitmore (Vice

Chairman), Raymond S. J. Daniels, John R. MacLeod, Clayton T. Oliver, Paul Todd; V.W. Bros. D. Fick, S. R. Lowe; W. Bros. L MacKenzie, J. H. Parker, G. Walker. 80 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Continuity of committee programmes was fostered by the inclusion of returning members with a mix of new brethren who accepted the challenge to serve during this year. Two initiatives received significant attention during 2000 - 2001. First, considerable effort was devoted to 'advertising' the existence of the new 'education' chapter in the Brother-to-Brother toolkit. That chapter is titled "An Education Program of Short Talks, Skits and Plays" and our partnership with the Brother-to-Brother Committee

resulted in its distribution to all districts with the latest update of the Brother-to- Brother Toolkit. In November 2000, a letter was sent to all District Education Chairmen notifying them of the update and seeking their assistance in making the Lodge Education

Chairmen aware of its existence. We thank those brethren who have taken the time to

let us know they appreciate the material. However, we continue to be disappointed when we encounter situations where we find brethren (especially new masons) who are

'thirsty for knowledge,' but who have not yet been informed that the material exists in their lodge's toolkit. We encourage Education Chairmen and Brother-to-Brother facilitators to help us unlock this secret. In the meantime, we continue to gather additional material for a 'sequel' chapter. Second, considerable effort was also devoted to getting the publication titled "The

Newsletter" back on track. Two volumes (Vol. 16, Issues 1 and 2) were produced, a

new editorial staff is being assembled, our database is now converted and current and

a regular publication schedule has resumed. Our subscription base is presently over 700 members and growing. New submissions are always needed!

Guidelines for The Examination of the Worshipful Master Elect The work has been completed on this initiative and approval of the content has been given. The guidelines are to assist the Senior Warden in his preparation and at the same time offer a foundation for the Examining Committee to work from. Look for the guidelines to be available from Grand Lodge later this year. They can be used to

supplement existing material in lodges or may be used when no material is currently available. CONTINUING PROGRAMMES The College of Freemasonry Correspondence Course During the period April 2000 to April 2001, 65 new entrants enroled in the four-part course. There were 14 continuing students and 14 brethren were admitted as Fellows

of the College of Freemasonry. It is rewarding to see these numbers on the rise! This

is a quality programme and its graduates are certainly ambassadors for our craft.

The list of college graduates was last published in the Grand Lodge Proceedings

of 1996. We are pleased to include below, the list of all college graduates since then.

The District Deputy Grand Master's Course Each July, as we install our new DDGMs, this Grand Jurisdiction continues to reap the benefits of a better educated, well prepared class of leaders. This three-part course for

prospective DDGMs continues to gain recognition from its 'alumni' as a valuable educational tool. During the period April 2000 to April 2001, 60 new entrants enroled in the course. There were 5 continuing students and 19 graduates. The course content was reviewed this year and although minor revisions are forthcoming, no major changes were warranted at this time. Our partnership with the ad hoc Committee on the Preparation for the Office of D.D.G.M. resulted in applications for a total of 128 individual sections. Twenty-six TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 81 brethren completed the entire programme and earned their certificate. This committee once again provided support and participated in the training sessions for prospective DDGMs. Our thanks are extended to the continuing efforts of V.W. Bro. Syd Lowe and W. Bro. Gord Walker for their devotion to the administration of both courses. We also publicly acknowledge the 'behind the scenes' efforts of all our course mentors for the countless hours of marking and 'mentoring' that they provide on our behalf.

Grand Lodge Book Sales Book Sales at the Education Committee's booth during the Annual Communication of Grand Lodge were approximately $3,500. The committee extends thanks to V.W.

Bro. Pick and all the brethren who assisted him in the booth.

In summary, your committee strongly believes that Masonic Education comes in many different forms, can be delivered by many different media and is obtained in many different settings. In every corner of this jurisdiction, there are lots of Masonic education ideas, topics and material in existence. Your committee is dedicated to seeking out such material and sharing it with as many Brethren as possible.

Some Masonic education is an individual effort, but for some of it, it 'takes two to tango.' Some of it is 'serious' work, but some of it must be 'fun'! And let us not forget, as we make our 'daily advancement,' that it is as important to be knowledgeable about the craft, as it is to 'know' your brethren. We congratulate the graduates of our College of Freemasonry courses and our District Deputy Grand Master's courses! We encourage you to try some of the educational material in the Brother-to-Brother toolkit.

In all our endeavors, we thank the Grand Secretary and his staff for their kindness and support. Finally, we thank the Grand Master for this opportunity to be of service to our Craft. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee. GARRY DOWLING, Chairman

The Masonic Education Committee is proud to publish the following list of Fellows of the College of Freemasonry, 1996 to April, 2001. Since our last printing in the Proceedings of 1996, the following brethren have attained the designation "Fellow of the College of Freemasonry," by successfully completing all sections of the Course. We congratulate them on their achievement!

FINAL REPORT OF SPECLVL COMMITTEE ON ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

This Report was presented by M.W. Bro. N. E. Byrne, Chairman, and received.

To: M.W. Bro. Robert J. McKibbon, Grand Master Grand Ix)dge of Canada in the Province of Ontario

Most Worshipful Sir:

You have asked me as chairman of the above Special Committee to make a final report to you of the committee's findings. The committee was struck with a view to shortening the time spent, the cost to Grand Lodge and the time spent by, and the cost to those, in attendance. As rejXDrted earlier, the committee as a whole has not been able to come to a generally accepted answer to the ramifications of changing the format of the Annual Communication. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 83

Every time a plan was discussed to cut a day off the total time spent at the Royal York Hotel, with the resultant savings to Grand Lodge in costs, and the costs of and time spent by those in attendance, there was an appreciable loss of things and matters considered by various members of the committee to be necessarily required and/or desirable, such as workshops, seminars, intermingling of members of Grand Lodge, attendance by senior Grand Lodge officers at social functions etc. A possible answer might be done on a trial basis only. This method in reducing the Grand Lodge format by one full day, and to allow Grand Lodge to keep their present four-day period open as far as the Hotel is concerned, and allowing Grand Lodge to try to cut off one full day, without losing that day forever, is to have Grand Lodge approach the Hotel on the basis that, say in 2002, Grand Lodge would cut down its activities as above outlined by one full day, but Grand Lodge would pay the Hotel the necessary room rates and ancillary charges attributable thereto, so that the revenue to the Hotel would not be reduced. This would allow Grand Lodge to change/modify its programme to a format requiring one day less on a trial basis. If this is successful (the shortened format), then in 2003, give up the day and proceed with the shortened programme and reduced time spent at the hotel. If it is not successful, then go back to the present system and carry on as at present. If the Hotel can see that they are not going to lose any revenue, surely they won't shut the door on the day given up, so we can't come back the following year and get it back. Several brethren (not members of the committee) have suggested that Grand

Lodge could cut off one full day and give that day over to the Masonic Foundation of Ontario for some special programme. This may or may not cut down on "room charges" of attending members. The idea will need to be very carefully examined by some other committee or by the Masonic Foundation of Ontario itself.

I am indeed sorry. Most Worshipful Sir, that the committee cannot come up with a definitive answer or suggestion as to what Grand Lodge should do. In short, every time we cut down on time and costs, we lose a beneficial part of our Grand Lodge

Communication. There is no easy answer to this thorny problem. Your committee has wrestled with the problem for several years. The members of the committee are very experienced brethren, with special knowledge and experience in the Annual Communi- cation, and have, amongst themselves, a very unique and extensive sum total of knowledge and experience in these particulars matters.

Accordingly, Grand Master, I steal a line from one of the advisors to King

Solomon in the Eighth Degree of the Scottish Rite and I quote "Alas, King Solomon, I know not what to advise."

All of which, in a complete sense of frustration, is humbly and respectfully submitted. Norman E. Byrne, P.G.M. Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CONSTITUTION AND JURISPRUDENCE

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

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren: Your committee has received three Notices of Motion for consideration and begs leave to report thereon.

Nominations and Eligibility for Grand Lodge Office

The Notice of Motion proposed that Section 45 be amended to require that a brother must have attained and held the rank of Past Master for at least three years to be eligible for office in Grand Lodge. It further proposed that Section 48 be amended to require all nominations for a Grand Lodge office be approved and signed by at least three Past Masters of die Lodge where the nominee has held the rank of Past Master for the minimum requisite time. Your committee fmds that while traditionally a brother who has attained the rank of

Past Master is eligible for office as stated in Section 45, it is within the powers of Grand

Lodge to establish eligibility for office. Accordingly your committee finds the proposed amendment to Section 45 to be regular.

With respect to the proposed amendment to Section 48, your committee fmds it to be in conflict with Section 36 which states that "Any member of Grand Lodge may nominate any eligible candidate for an elective office, requiring nomination, or for the Board of General Purposes." Accordingly, your committee fmds diat the proposed amendment is not regular.

William Mercer Wilson Recipients' Aprons

A Notice of Motion was received that would permit William Mercer Wilson Medal recipients to have an appropriate emblem on their Master Mason aprons designating them as such. As the emblem's description is not complete the motion as presented is not regular.

Part iv — Rules Respecting Trials for Masonic Offences

A Notice of Motion was received proposing amendments to several sections of the Rules Respecting Trials For Masonic Offences. On review, the committee finds the motion to be regular.

All of which is respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee. H. NEIL BRITTON, Chauman TORO^^^o, Ontario, 2001 85

REPORT OF THE DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE

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

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren: This has been a very busy and productive year for your Discipline Committee. We have drafted and presented substantial amendments to our Constitution, the effect of which is to make several significant changes to the Rules Respecting Trials for Masonic Offences. These amendments are the culmination of work that has been going on for several years, which included an in depth comparison of the relevant provisions of the Constitutions of numerous other Grand Lodges. With that stage completed, we agreed upon certain basic concepts that we wanted to see included and then set about the detailed drafting of the numerous amendments that you have before you. By way of a genera! overview, let me now present a brief outline of the procedure under the new amendments as compared to the former system. At the outset, you will note that in most cases the former terms "accused" and "accuser" have been replaced with "charged brother" and "complainant." This is to get away from the characterization regularly used in our criminal law system but not always appropriate in a masonic setting where some masonic offences may not be of a criminal nature in the normal sense. As previously, the process begins with the laying of a complaint. The new procedure now requires the Master of the lodge, upon the receipt of a complaint to forward it together with supporting documentation to the Grand Secretary. At this stage, the

Grand Master now is empowered by our Constitution, if he feels it to be appropriate, to direct an attempt to mediate, reconcile and adjust the matter to assist the brethren in reaching a mutually acceptable resolution. He also now has discretion, in consultation with the Deputy Grand Master, the Grand Secretary and the Chairman of the Discipline Committee to determine whether or not the complaint shall be proceeded with or dismissed. This provision, which brings in a system for mediation and recognizes the authority in our Grand Master to deal with complaints in this way, will be very helpful in dealing fairly and quickly with instances such as personal quarrels and disagreements which, while perhaps not really masonic offences, can escalate into very disruptive and divisive problems for brethren, lodges and the craft in general.

If the matter is not resolved by mediation or if the Grand Master feels that it is not appropriate for mediation, then the Master of the lodge proceeds to set up a Reviewing Committee. The Reviewing Committee process has not been changed and

its purpose is to determine whether or not there are reasonable grounds to support the

complaint. If it finds that there are reasonable grounds, then the matter proceeds to

a masonic trial.

One of the most significant changes in these amendments is the removal of the Trial by Lodge process. Previously, a charged brother had the option of choosing either a Trial by Lodge or a Trial Commission. Trial by Lodge, although rare, has proven to be very complex, disruptive and has often deteriorated into a mere personality contest. These amendments do away with a Trial by Lodge and all trials now will be by a Trial Commission consisting of three Master Masons. 86 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Another major change is that, while under the old system, the responsibility, or burden, for finding and appointing the Trial Commission fell to the Master of the particular lodge, the appointments now will be made by the Grand Master. We have found that for many Masters and for many lodges, they have neither the time, the will nor the expertise to find and appoint three masons experienced in discipline matters.

Our plan is that we will have a panel of such brethren who will be available where needed to constitute Trial Commissions throughout the Province. This new process should ensure the availability of a fair and competent Trial Commission for any charged brother while taking the unwelcome task of setting up the Trial Commission off the shoulders of the individual Master of the Lodge. Once the Trial Commission has been appointed, the procedure remains largely unchanged and the Trial Commission will then proceed to hold the masonic trial as provided in our Constitution. In summary, we hope that these amendments will simplify our system of masonic trials and, especially through the new provisions for mediation and reconciliation, help us to deal expeditiously with those personal disputes that cause so much disruption, while improving the quality and expertise brought to our Trial Commissions in those serious cases where a masonic trial is required. In addition to these amendments, your Discipline Committee continues to deal with the various discipline matters that come before this Grand Lodge. While never a happy task, our work must be conducted in accordance with the rules and principles as enunciated in our Constitution and with the goal of ensuring that all concerned, be they charged brother or complainant, are treated with fairness, dignity and a firm and consistent process. Thankfully, during this past year, we have not had any actual masonic trials. In accordance with our Grand Lodge Constitution, the Grand Secretary has issued three Certificates of Severance to brethren within our jurisdiction. As required, this was done following a request by these brethren and after proper investigation. As a result, the goals of masonic discipline were met while these brethren and their lodges were spared the unpleasantness of a masonic trial. One complaint was dismissed at the Reviewing Committee stage on the basis that there were no reasonable grounds to support the complaint. This emphasizes the value in having a process whereby complaints which, while very serious and real in the eyes of the complaining party, may not be supported reasonably by sufficient evidence to constitute a masonic offence and to warrant a masonic trial. The Reviewing Committee is able to investigate such matters and where there is no merit, such matters can be disposed of quickly, confidentially and without causing the impugned brother embarrassment and needless grief. Currently, there are some pending matters in the masonic discipline system and, over time, they will proceed through the process and ultimately come before this Committee. These will be reported on at the appropriate time and in the meantime, your Committee is committed to oversee the process and to ensure that it is applied properly. Last year we reported that we had received an application for restoration from a former member who, following a masonic trial at which he was found to be guilty, was expelled by Grand Lodge from the Masonic Order. This application was made pursuant to s.426 of our Constitution which provides that if five years have elapsed since the expulsion or since his last application for restoration, a person can apply through the Grand Secretary for restoration. It is stated in our Constitution that any TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 87

such application shall specify the reasons why he seeks restoration. In this particular case, no reasons have been provided. Your Committee has considered this application

and recommends that it be refused. In conclusion, I acknowledge and give thanks for the guidance, wisdom and

generous assistance provided to me by our Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Robert J.

McKibbon; our Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, his staff; and all other members of the committee, namely, M.W. Bros. E. W. Nancekivell, D. C. Bradley, N. E. Byrne; R.W. Bros. T. Shand, R. T. Runciman, J. W. Lidstone, J. D. Angus and V. W. Bro. F. Halpern. This has been a particularly busy year. Their contribution, patience and support has been invaluable and I extend my sincere personal thanks to each of them.

All of which is respectfully submitted. ROBERT S. WHITMORE, Chairman

REPORT OF THE BLOOD DONORS' COMMITTEE This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. P. W. Hooper, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Hooper, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

I am pleased to present this report on behalf of the members of the Blood Donors

Committee. This committee is comprised of the following members - R.W. Bro. Paul McNeil (Vice-Chairman), V.W. Bro. Dennis O'Leary (Secretary), and R.W. Bros. Leroy Harrison, Derwyn Woodhouse, Gary Bloomfield, Vic Cormack, Brian Duncan Sr, Gordon Grieve and Ralph Morgan. Many dedicated regional chairmen and district chairmen, as well as individual lodge chairmen also assisted us. We were very saddened this year to lose a very dedicated and hard working member of this committee. R.W. Bro. Paul McNeil passed away on January 11, 2001, after spending many years courageously battling lung and other problems. R.W. Bro. McNeil was a long-standing member of the Blood Donor Committee, having joined it before he was District Deputy Grand Master of Ontario District in 1990. He has spent the last several years as Vice-Chairman. His knowledge, hard work and total dedication to this committee will be greatly missed. Listed below are the numbers of plasma, platelet and whole blood donations by district to March 31", 2001, our year-end.

We have once again exceeded our highest total and set a new record for donations from this Grand Lodge with a total of 24,205 units. This is due to the efforts of a great many people especially at the district and lodge level for their hard work. Again, this year Ontario District has made the most donations and a special thank you goes to R.W. Bro. William Henshall (DDGM) and W. Bro. George Day (Dist Chairman) and all the Masons of Ontario District. Once again, Algoma District closely followed them. R.W. Bro. Wayne Meadows (DDGM) along with R.W. Bro. Gary Bloomfield (Dist Chairman) continue to strive to pass Ontario District in donation numbers. There were many districts with outstanding donation numbers this past year. For the first time, 9 districts have surpassed 1,000 donations for the year. The average number for the districts this year is over 500. This committee would like to congratulate and thank W. Bro. William Roberts, who is retiring as Blood Donor Chairman for Hamilton District "B". During his 3-year tenure as chairman, the donations from the district have gone from under 200 per year to 1,675 this year. Every lodge in the district sponsored Blood Donor Clinics this past year. Hamilton District 'B' is a shining example of what can be accomplished by having willing and active members in charge, combined with the hard work of a large group of Masons. During the past two years this committee has tried something different. We have been having our committee meetings at various locations around the province. The reasoning behind this is that we wanted to get the involvement and participation of District Chairmen and other interested Masons throughout the province. Their partici- pation has t)een beneficial to the committee and has been greatly appreciated. We have found that moving the meetings around the province has worked quite well.

It was our privilege to be able to present several Masonic Blood Donor Certificates this year. The following were recognized during this year for being outstanding donors:

Special Congratulations are extended to Bro. Noel Paterson of Centennial Lodge No. 684 in London East District. Bro. Paterson surpassed the 500 donation plateau during the past year. R.W. Bro. Clare Hatt of Union Lodge No. 380, in London East District, continues to be the highest Masonic Donor in the province having now reached 574 donations.

Overview

This past year has been the first full year that the restrictions have been in effect from the Canadian Blood Services on people who have spent more than 6 months in the United Kingdom since 1980. We anticipated that this restriction would have an effect

on our numbers and, indeed, it has. Masonic blood donations are down because of this

restriction. Combine this with our aging membership and it is quite noticeable that the districts that rely strictly on Masons for their blood donation numbers are suffering greatly. For several years, this committee has been encouraging our members to get their

families involved and to host Blood Donor Clinics. There is no downside to doing this. There are not only benefits to us and to the Canadian Blood Services, but most of all to those people that we don't talk about often enough, the many men, women and

children whose lives are saved by the gift of life. One of the ideas that came out of the various meetings around the province is the desire for the committee to give some kind of recognition to Masons and others who have greatly assisted us. We already have Certificates of Recognition for those Masons who have reached certain levels of donations, but there is another large group of Masons and non-Masons who have assisted us, particularly at Blood Donor Clinics sponsored by our lodges. This committee (in conjunction with the C.B.S.) is actively

investigating this and is hopeful that in the near future we will have Certificates of Recognition for Masons and for non-Masons in appreciation of their assistance.

One problem that we are having is that it appears as if we are under reporting our donation numbers. Many districts change their District Blood Donor Chairmen after Grand Lodge each year. The problem we are running into is that by the time the new

chairman comes on board, our blood year is half over. This leads to different problems. Sometimes the new chairmen are not informed about what has happened before and are not aware of the numbers from April until the end of the summer. We even had one district this year where the chairman was changed and he could not locate any

numbers at all from July and August. Many District Chairmen report that they are having problems with Masons not signing the donation books or the books not being available when the donations are made and, hence, their numbers are lower than they should be. The co-operation from the Canadian Blood Services continues to be outstanding. They are there to help whenever needed and have been very firee with their assistance 90 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION and with supplies. There have been a few areas of the province where the co-operation has not been what we would have hoped for, but these numbers are decreasing each year and we look forward to a continued strong relationship with the C.B.S. This can only serve to benefit both organizations.

Conclusion: The number of Masons who can now donate blood has decreased dramatically over the past few years. The fact that our numbers keep going up is directly attributable to the increasing number of lodges and districts that are sponsoring Blood Donor Clinics. This trend has now been firmly established and, hopefully, will be extended to more and more districts in the future. More education is needed for new District Chairmen in the future to ensure that our donation numbers are all counted and steps have already been taken to ensure that this occurs after Grand Lodge each year.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO BENEHT FROM ALL OUR MASONIC DONATIONS ARE THE REAL WINNERS. Submitted on behalf of the committee. PAUL W. HOOPER, Chairman

REPORT OF THE MASONIC FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It was my privilege yesterday morning, July 17, 2001, to report on behalf of the Board of Directors to the thirty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario, held at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Ontario.

The Foundation continued to grow over the past year, both in terms of capital assets TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 95

and in its recognition throughout the community at large. Highlights of activities this past year in each on-going program have been provided by the Chairmen and form a

part of the Annual Report. I encourage you to read each section to fully appreciate the extent of the work undertaken by the Foundation in our communities on your behalf.

This past year, the Foundation gave $252,000 to support university and college students

in financial need, hearing research, drug awareness peer education, autism, VOICE for Hearing Impaired Children and various youth organizations. Since its inception 37 years ago, your Masonic Foundation has contributed over $4.6 million to worthy causes throughout Ontario.

Today marks the second anniversary of the announcement of the Millennium Project, "HELP-2-HEAR", introduced in response to a request from neophyte Masons back in 1996, who stated loud and clear their desire for a major fund-raising project in which

ail Masons could participate with pride. No doubt contributions will continue to come

in over the summer and fall - no donations will be turned down; however, active promotion of the campaign ceases today.

Will the project be successful? Sufficient funds have been raised to commence necessary research. HELP-2-HEAR will support the professionals in developing and testing new technologies and methods to enhance screening, diagnostic assessment and intervention - research which might not otherwise be possible. Hearing-impaired infants will be diagnosed earlier, better means of testing will exist and improved habilitative action will begin sooner than would have been the case without the HELP-2-HEAR Project. Of equal importance, the project has served as a catalyst to motivate the Ontario Ministry of Health to undertake universal screening of infants. As the campaign draws to a close,

our project is already a resounding success!

A project of this extent could only be successful with the active participation of too many individuals to be identified personally, including those Masons who dreamt up and implemented many ingenious projects to raise money for HELP-2-HEAR, from cookbooks and motorcycle rallies to theatre evenings and train rides, and almost everything in between; however, there are several whose efforts have been Herculean; and must be praised. In his travels, M.W. Bro. Robert J. McKibbon, Grand Master, promoted HELP-2-HEAR, raising both the profile and understanding of the Project. M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew, his seven Regional Vice Chairmen, the other committed members of his HELP-2-HEAR Committee and the forty-six District Deputy Grand

Masters all toiled tirelessly to explain the importance of the Project to the members and to seek their financial support. The Directors of the Foundation express our gratitude to each and every one whose individual actions have contributed to the success of this campaign.

As the Masonic Foundation enters its thirty-eighth year of service to the citizens of

Ontario, its net assets have grown to more than $6.8 million. This would not have been possible without the efforts of many dedicated Masons who have served the Foundation in various positions over the years. Three such Masons retired at the conclusion of yesterday's meeting. Sydney Whiteley has handled the Foundation's public relations requirements in an exemplary manner since first being elected to the Board of Directors in 1993, including the heart-warming posters that promoted the HELP-2-HEAR campaign; Thomas Lewis has used his professional talents to serve honourably as 96 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Treasurer since being elected in 1994, during a period of extensive growth in the Foundation's assets; and Gary Atkinson has provided wise counsel since his election in 1995. The Foundation thanks each of them for his time and dedication.

With the end of the HELP-2-HEAR Campaign, the Masonic Foundation must move on; it must assess its overall operations and ensure that money spent on its programs provide optimal return for the trust placed in the Foundation by the membership. Current programs supported by the Foundation are being evaluated as part of a detailed long-range plan initiated by the Board of Directors to prepare the Foundation for the future.

Emphasis on HELP-2-HEAR over the past two years has limited district and lodge projects. Now that effort can be refocused on such projects where funds are raised locally to address a local need and provide visibility for Masonry in the community. The Foundation will continue to financially support such local initiatives, within the established criteria.

Traditional methods of fund-raising have served the Foundation well over the years, including the annual Yellow Envelope Campaign, and will continue to be used. To meet the growing need of society for assistance, however, the Foundation must promote modern ways of Planned Giving, such as naming the Foundation in a will as a beneficiary, and through a life insurance policy, with the Foundation as policyholder and sole beneficiary.

The Masonic Foundation was created by an enactment in the Ontario Legislature; however, its genesis rests with the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario and is the basis of a close working relationship. This rapport between your Foundation and Grand Lodge has contributed significantly to the success of HELP-2-HEAR, and continues to provide strength to the Foundation's success. Your Foundation looks forward to working closely with the Grand Master and Grand Lodge in the future, as the HELP-2-HEAR project is implemented and other important Foundation initiatives are undertaken.

The Masonic Foundation has come a long way in 37 years. Citizens in our community requiring special assistance have benefited, and will continue to benefit, fi^om the generous financial support of the membership. As Masons, our task is to expand the ability to assist others - our reward is to feel the pride of doing the good act, not for ourselves, but^r the cause of good.

It is my privilege to preside over the Foundation and I do so as custodian on your

behalf, as it is . . .

Your Masonic Foundation of Ontario . . . Your legacy for the betterment of future generations.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Directors and Officers of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario. Ronald K Campbell, President TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 97

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CONDITION OF MASONRY

This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. R. T. Runciman, Chairman, and on

motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Runciman, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Your committee begs leave to present its report on the condition of Masonry pursuant

to its mandate as set out in Section 136 of the Book of Constitution. The reports of the

District Deputy Grand Masters have been reviewed and analyzed and it is from this

analysis that this report is generated. The committee wishes to thank the District Deputy Grand Masters for the preparation of their detailed reports, which give an insight into the Craft.

The world is changing in many areas and in particular changes in technology, information and communications are affecting Freemasonry. We cannot avoid these changes, to do so would be disastrous for the Craft, but at the same time we must not make changes simply for the sake of change. The long range effect of any changes

must be carefully considered. We cannot change Freemasonry, its landmarks and its ancient usages and established customs are inviolable, but the manner in which

Freemasonry manages its affairs and presents itself to the community can be changed to meet the changing demands of society and provide for the best interests of the Craft. Grand Lodge has established programmes for the constituent lodges to attract and retain members and educate the brethren. The Friend to Friend, Brother to Brother and the Mentor programmes are excellent and when effectively used can produce positive results. These results will not be attained in the short term, but continued and effective presentation of them will attain results. The committee observed that many

lodges are using these programmes, but a large number are still not using them. The

committee is unable to determine how effectively these programmes are being

presented, but it is critical to the future of Freemasonry in this Grand Jurisdiction that

they be continued, and presented in an effective manner to the brethren. The respective committee chairmen and committee members are to be commended for

their efforts, but it is the responsibility of the constituent lodges and their officers to effectively communicate these programmes to the membership. On a positive note, some District Deputy Grand Masters report that some lodges have attracted younger members who have been brought into the Craft through the involvement of lodges in the community. Some specific and innovative ideas have attracted new members and have brought back senior members to lodge.

RECOMMENDATION: that the importance of the Grand Lodge programmes and their continued use be impressed upon the Worshipful Master and Officers of the constituent lodges to ensure the future of the Freemasonry.

The quality of the Work and protocol covers the whole spectrum, from excellent to weak and requiring improvement. The ritual and protocol are but two aspects of

Freemasonry which set it apart from other organizations. The Work is what the

candidate is exposed to when he first enters the lodge room and this leaves a lasting

impression upon him. If the Work is not properly presented or presented with a lack 98 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

of enthusiasm the members' interest will soon wane. Well presented Work and protocol are two of the keys to the future of the Craft. Some District Deputy Grand Masters observed that the quality of the Work was related to visiting other lodges and attending Lodges of Instruction. Lodges which do not visit other lodges or attend Lodges of Instruction do not always do quality work. The officers do not have the opportunity to see the Work well done and thus become complacent and the quality of their Work begins to decline. It has also been observed that lodges which do not

visit have a lower attendance and do not attract visitors. Visiting is an extremely important Masonic privilege and has created the maxim that in every clime a Mason may find a home and in every land a brother. Your committee observed that several District Deputy Grand Masters reported that on the occasion of the Official Visit no Work was performed, the lodge being opened and closed in the three degrees. It was impossible for the committee members analyzing the reports to determine whether the District Deputy Grand Master had returned to the lodge to observe the Work being performed. Planning appears to be an area where lodges are deficient, both in five year plans

and long range plans. Because the world is changing so rapidly and in particular in

demographics, it is important that the constituent lodges plan for the future to avoid

pitfalls, and to ensure the future viability of the lodge in particular and the Craft in general. Someone once said thai failing to plan is planning to fail. This succinctly states the need for planning at the lodge and district level.

RECOMMENDATION: that all lodges be encouraged and assisted to create a five year plan and a long range plan and to review them periodically.

Finances are a concern for everyone in uncertain economic times and this is no less true for the constituent lodges. They are in financial difficulty due to rising costs and declining membership resulting in a loss of income. In several instances the committee observed that the lodges did not prepare a budget. There are many lodges with arrears of dues which are creating a burden on lodge funds because it is expending money on

behalf of the member but he is not contributing to the lodge. The Advisory Committee

on Lodge Finances is available to advise lodges with reference to these matters and the lodges are urged to avail themselves of this assistance.

RECOMMENDATION: that strategies be put in place to encourage the lodges to address financial difficulties and in particular budgeting procedures and the collection of arrears of dues.

Again this year there are reports of lodges considering amalgamation because the viability of the individual lodges are in doubt. It is always sad to see a once vibrant

lodge decline to the state where it must consider going into darkness. It is encouraging however, that the brethren are desirous of continuing the light of Masonry, albeit perhaps under a different name or at a different location and with different members,

rather than have the lodge go into darkness. It is the sincere wish of the committee

that any amalgamation discussions presently in progress will result in a harmonious resolution for the benefit of the brethren in particular and the Craft in general. Last year the committee reported about the number of Past Masters in the

progressive chairs. This situation still prevails, and will no doubt continue until there

has been a stabilization of lodge membership and new members admitted. It is a sign of the times and the Worshipful Masters must be made aware of the problem and that it is a warning sign for the future. The Past Masters who occupy the chairs are to be commended for their zeal for Freemasonry, but the younger members must be TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 99 encouraged to assume an office and be assisted and guided during their progression through the lodge offices. There was a time in the past when Freemasons maintained a low profile in their communities. Individuals were known to be Freemasons, but the public did not truly know very much, if anything, about Freemasonry. Fortunately, this situation is changing and lodges and Freemasonry in general are becoming more visible. This trend is evidenced by a variety of events including Blood Donor Clinics, special projects, mall displays. Open Houses, and the presentation of bursaries on behalf of The Masonic Foundation. The lodges and districts are participating in the Grand Lodge Help-2-Hear Project and the brethren involved in this area are to be commended for their efforts.

The project not only raises funds for hearing research but it portrays to the community at large that Freemasons are involved in their communities For the Cause of Good. Several districts have developed local projects to meet the local needs. These range from presenting university and college bursaries to deserving students, to raising funds in support of a local hospital to supporting a local food bank and other specific charities. Lodges which have constructed new lodge premises or refurbished existing buildings are to be commended for their efforts and in particular giving Freemasonry a prominent physical presence in their respective communities.

The committee wishes to express its thanks to M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, Grand

Secretary, and his staff for their assistance. I, as chairman of the committee, wish to express my sincere thanks to R.W. Bros. J. H. Hough, P. A. James, R. G. Lancaster, C. R. Mckee, E. S. Rutter, F. M. Wilson and V.W. Bro. T. B. Lloyd, the members of the committee, for their careful analysis of the District Deputy Grand Masters reports and for their valuable contributions to the committee deliberations.

All of which is respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee. ROBERT T. RUNCIMAN, Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMPUTER RESOURCES COMMITTEE This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. B. E. Bond, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Bond, it was received. To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren: Meetings During this Masonic year, three meetings of the committee were held, at which time correspondence received was discussed and answers formulated. The meetings were open to all members of the committee as well as any District Representative who wished to attend. The minutes of the meetings were shared with all the representatives. Many questions were asked of the availability of programming for database and summons formats for the lodge. Most of the queries were handled in the district by the representative and those others which the representative referred to the committee were addressed in a timely manner, by telephone, e-mail or surface mail. A number of requests for information were sent directly by e-mail to the Grand Lodge office, where they were forwarded to the committee for action. 100 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Communication All 46 districts have responded with the name of a representative. I wish to extend thanks to R.W. Bro. Terry Shand, Deputy Grand Master, and those members of the Board of General Purposes who assisted in this.

E-mail Summons Survey A request for information, in the form of a survey, about the proposed use of the internet for the transmission of lodge summonses was sent to all D.D.G.M.s and the known District Representatives in September 2000. A follow-up letter was sent in December 2000. Twenty-three districts have returned the information requested and this has been collated as displayed below.

Districts reporting 23 Would send summonses

Lodges represented 290 if approved 146 Lodges responding 213 Resistance 19 Lodges connected to net 194 Benefit 77% Yes

Estimated members connected . (1315) Incomplete

Of the 290 lodges represented in the 23 districts reporting, 213 responded. Of that number, 194 lodges report connection to the net. The numbers of members connected is still not known, but those reports which included a internet connected figure total to 1,315. Some districts did not respond with a positive number, others used a percentage figure and most indicated that there are probably many more. 146 lodges have stated that they would definitely use the net for the delivery of lodge summonses if once approved. Resistance to the use of the internet was very low and those indicating resistance reported that this was due to concerns about privacy, accurate reproduction of the summons and an incorrect assumption that the delivery of the summons, to those not internet connected, would be dependent on being connected.

Seminars Seminars were held at Kemptville, Kirkland Lake and Sudbury. Each interactive presentation was about two hours in length, with a question and answer session following. The subject matter revolved around the use of the computer in the lodge, with emphasis on database, minutes and internet. The questions asked by the attendees revealed sincere interest in this field and indicated to me that our efforts were well appreciated. An information meeting, covering the duties and activities of most of the committees of Grand Lodge, was held in Hamilton, at which we were represented by V.W. Bro. George Napper. None of the seminars held could have been successful without the active participation and assistance afforded by the respective D.D.G.M.s and the District Representatives. My thanks to all of them.

New Lodge Finance Programming

I recently attended a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Lodge Finances, chaired by R.W. Bro. Hogeboom, in which I gave a report on a software package, designed for the use of lodges in keeping their financial records, which had been previously submitted to me for inspection. My report recommended that this package, with some small modifications in the installation method, be made available to the jurisdiction. I was requested to complete the changes and include this application with the suite of programmes which we distribute on a yearly basis. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 101

Website This year, we have introduced the approval process for lodge and district websites. This has resulted in a great improvement in the look and feel of the sites in this jurisdiction, as well as giving some incentive to those webmasters to strive for and receive recognition for something that is above the ordinary. W. Bro. Jim Kirk-White has justly earned the accolades which he and I have received from time to time. The freshness and constant updating of this site has required a considerable amount of work and intellectual prowess. The contributors to the site, the committees which have submitted information and the Traveller Series by V.W. Bro. Ted Morris, have enhanced the site for the benefit of the membership, as well as the public viewers. As of this writing, with an average of nearly 400 visits per day, over 200,000 people have visited the site, with many repeats for further information.

Registration

The electronic registration process is now an accepted fact of our Grand Lodge, having been used successfully for some years now and brought into being by W. Bro. Kris

Nickerson. This process is one of continual update and trial, because, it seems, no computer programmer ever feels that his work is finished and there is always room for improvement.

I wish to thank the members of committee and the 46 District Representatives who have made this year successful and enjoyable. The Grand Secretary and his staff have been most helpful and I thank them for the courtesies extended to me and the committee this year.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the committee. BRIAN BOND, Chairman

REPORT OF THE GRAND CHAPLAIN

This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. Waldo Gundrum, Grand Chaplain.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It has been a privilege and a pleasure to have been given the honour and opportunity of serving as Grand Chaplain for the Masonic year now ending. It has been a distinct honour to share this privilege with Sudbury Lodge No. 658 and Sudbury-Manitoulin Masonic District, as well as lodges in Sault Ste. Marie, Coboconk, Scarborough, and indirectly, with brethren in Montreal, P.Q., where I began my Masonic journey. I am indebted to all of them. There were so many highlights, but one that stands out was the Official Dedication on April 21, 2001, of the Innerkip Masonic Centre, the new home of Blenheim Lodge No. 108, Oak Branch Lodge No. 261, and Thames Valley O.E.S. No. 199.

I participated in receptions for the Grand Master, for the seven Toronto Districts,

Nipissing East District in Sturgeon Falls, Sudbury-Manitoulin District, Algoma East

District in Sault Ste. Marie, informal breakfast and lunch for the Grand Master at National Lodge No. 588, Capreol, and Espanola Lodge No. 527, respectively. Conducted District Divine Service for the brethren in Sudbury, Manitoulin Island, 102 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Bruce District in Walkerton, was part of Hamilton Districts Sunrise Service on June 10, 2001, and, addressed the brethren of Sudbury at their annual Maundy Thursday Service. For the brethren of Sudbury and Bruce District Divine Services I shared a message entitled: "Does God Have A Sense of Humour?" And my unequivocal answer was, YES, but, do you brethren have a sense of humour? Accompanied the D.D.G.M. for Sudbury-Manitoulin District on seven official visits, as well as visited eight lodges at their installation meetings in the Sudbury-Manitoulin

District. I also visited twelve lodges in the mid-north. Living in the greater Sudbury area I found long distances and our winter weather a distinct challenge, but it was fun.

In my visitation rounds I learned first-hand how varied, far flung and strong our fraternity is.

I am indebted to the Most Worshipful the Grand Master and all the officers of Grand Lodge for their patience and understanding and the brethren of my present

Sudbury Lodge, for it is not often that the Grand Chaplain hails from the mid-north country, I would also like to express my 'thanks' to the brethren of the O.P.P. lodges, who in my travels, saw the Masonic emblem on the back of my V.W. and let me fly past.

The year is done, yet it was fun. May the Most High bless your work and travels that you may arrive safe and sound back home. And may you be, some day, half-an- hour in the Grand Lodge above before the devil knows you are dead. Respectfully, fraternally, and happily submitted. WALDO GUNDRUM, Grand Chaplain

REPORT OF THE BROTHER TO BROTHER COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. T. A. McLean, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. McLean, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Retain, Revitalize, Renew - What's Happening? That is the Question.

The resource tool kit is launched. Lodge facilitators have been trained. Feedback

sessions are underway. The Facilifacts (that little paper that grew) is flowing with ideas. Here are some general comments about the programme. "This tool kit has a lot of

good information in it; I hope the lodges use it." "Is Brother to Brother making a

diflference?" "What's this programme all about?" "Who's my lodge facilitator?" "What's everybody talking about?" Let's find out. This year the committee focused on verification of the Brother to Brother programme usage within the lodges through district feedback sessions, phone surveys, DDGM annual reports, and Regional Coordinator feedback and assisting when called on. Facts

• Initially, training delivered to 85% of the lodges in Ontario. • To date 53% of the lodges have implemented some parts of the programme. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 IO3

• Nearly half of the lodges have experienced a turnover in their original trained Facilitator.

• Lodges engaged in some BTB activities are seeing a difference in existing membership interest.

Brother to Brother - What's working well? - You told us:

• The tool kit content is excellent.

• The Facilifacts newsletter is a valuable communications document with good ideas that enable lodges to share in each others successes. It depends on feedback from the district lodges. • Feedback sessions are important and have been a good sharing and learning experience. • The program has momentum. • To be successful you need a committed Lodge Facilitator working with a BTB committee team in a supportive lodge environment.

Brother to Brother - what's not working well? - You told us: • A more appropriate Facilitator could have been selected by the lodge. • WM as a half-hearted approach in support/progress of Facilitator. • Some lodges not interested and lack leadership for the programme.

• The "Unknown Facilitator" syndrome. Who is this Brother?

• Poor communications about the programme at various levels. It's the best-kept secret in Masonry?

Brother to Brother - Path Forward

• Further regional training workshops and review of the progra.mme usage is compulsory.

• Facilifacts on line.

• Continue with Feedback sessions by district. • Strengthen the support network. Train and work with the lodge management team of the three principle officers.

• Build on the lodges Brother to Brother successes, that's where it's working, that's

where the energy is, focus on the brethren's emotions about the lodge.

I frequently get asked, "How would one measure the success of this Lodge Driven

Programme?" It's not easy, but how about retaining, revitalizing and renewing in your

Lodge - one brother at a time . In closing, accomplishment comes from making positive efforts, even when faced with negative circumstances. There is always a way to improve the situation. Find it and DO IT!

My personal and sincere thanks to the members of the committee, whom I sometimes keep awake at night on weekends, for caring about Masonry in Ontario - R.W. Bros. James Anderson, Douglas Swann, Norman 'Bud' Funnell, Scott Drummond, Paul Farrell; V.W. Bro. Donald Banks and W. Bro. Arthur Berry. Brother to Brother! Respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the committee. TERRY A McLEAN, Chairman 104 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

REPORT OF THE LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. A. P. Stephen, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Stephen, it was received.

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

Our Craft has a very special something that is hard to define and describe. It gives us, as Masons, a head start in making friends and extending our personal relationships into areas where we have not travelled before. This special ingredient may well be the secret of Masonry that binds us together guided by the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. To enhance our image with the public, we must continue to be committed to working for the good of our communities and society. Our jurisdiction has provided us with such tools as Friend to Friend, Mentor and Brother to Brother programmes to help us to do this collectively and as individual Masons. We want good men to seek us out. We can become a success through word of mouth. Masonry is about serving and being part of our communities and drawing people in by giving a good experience. Recent research supports the importance of a sense of belonging, to people's well being. The 1999 Conference Board of Canada Study, Health Communities, makes a clear connection between health and belonging: people who feel they belong in a community and have personal support networks live healthier lives. The Trillium Foundation asserts that well functioning communities respond to a hunger for belonging and connection and sees caring communities being created by promoting participation that encourages face to face contact. Participation in Masonry is one form of community participation and one way of enhancing social cohesion.

The mandate of our Long Range Planning Committee is to identify, research and assess any matters which may affect the future of Freemasonry; prepare and present a five-year plan and make recommendations to the Board of General Purposes for the long-term benefit of the Craft. As has been our practise, every other year. Grand Lodge convenes a workshop to review and upxlate our five-year or Strategic Framework. This year, the workshop was held at the Crieff Centre north of Hamilton, over two days, January 24 to 26, 2001. R.W. Bro. Terry McLean was our very able facilitator, making for a successful session in which the key objectives were:

• review and improve the five year plan • discuss the current and future state of Masonry in Ontario • determine strategic direction as we move forward

• generate a list of ideas on what Grand Lodge should be working to align with our vision and mission

Starting with what's working well with Masonry in Ontario and what's not working and why, participants debated, floated ideas and sought solutions. This work resulted in a Strategic Framework, containing a vision and a mission statement that clearly says what we stand for. Also this document identifies four key result areas, namely fraternal environment, leadership development, internal and external communications. Strategies or objectives associated with each of these result areas TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 IO5

along with initiatives to accomplish them are also contained in the Strategic Framework.

The ongoing work of the committee has placed emphasis on being more in touch with the districts and lodges. From this we have learned the concerns expressed by districts and lodges are among those identified in the Strategic Framework, for example:

• amalgamation was identified as needing early support • commitment to involvement in lodge activities and duty to office are to be addressed

• enhanced visibility of Masonry in our communities

As information is provided, it will help to update and implement the Strategic Framework. LRP Committee has been made responsible for recommending interim changes to the Grand Master and reporting on performance. The Strategic Framework will be distributed to promote consistent messages by DDGM's to lodges in their district. By including the Strategic Framework in the next update of the Brother to Brother tool kit, it can assist lodges with long range planning and goal setting. LRP Committee is developing a template or outline to assist lodges to plan for their particular needs.

Recognizing the contribution of all committee members, especially R.W. Bro. Al

Morrow, Secretary, this report is respectfully submitted on behalf of R.W. Bros. Arthur Burlein, Eric Bessler, Ronald Campbell, Paul Farrell, William Lidstone, Aired Morrow, David Sheen and Douglas Swann. A. PAUL STEPHEN, Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. R. K Spence, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W, Bro. Spence, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

On behalf of the dedicated brethren on this committee, R.W. Bros. Lome Weaver (Vice-Chairman), James R. Sercombe (Secretary), J. Norman Blodgett, Michael F. Wellwood, Derwyn Woodhouse, Dimitrios Papavramadis, Lee Shea, Clarke G. Pollock,

Douglas H. Clouse, James E. Anderson and V.W. Bro. Lloyd Bittle, it is my pleasure and privilege to present the report of the Communications Committee. After many years of service to the Communications Committee, V.W. Bro Lloyd Bittle tendered his resignation. On behalf of the Communications Committee, I would like to express our thanks and appreciation for all the years of service V.W. Bro. Bittle has given to this committee of Grand Lodge. His wisdom and guidance has been a constant force of this committee. Thank you, Lloyd.

The mandate of this committee is "to review and improve the quality of communication instruments within the Craft as determined by Grand Lodge." The committee put forth a recommendation for a standardized name tag to be used by all members of the Craft. This was accepted in early December and a letter was sent to all DDGMs encouraging them to promote the purchase of these name 106 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

tags. The name tags will be on a blue background with white lettering. The member's name, lodge and district with the red maple leaf, square and compasses on the left of the name tag. Three styles are available through Dominion Regalia: simple pin back, plastic pocket insert and double magnetic back. The committee developed a standard method (score sheet) for evaluating the summonses and newsletters, which was used this year. A major change was implemented by the committee in that we asked the DDGMs to do the preliminary evaluations of the summonses using the score sheet and guidelines developed to

evaluate what is written in the summons. This proved to be most successful and many of the District Deputies informed the lodges in their districts how they could improve their individual monthly summons. The committee thanks those DDGMs that went the extra mile in this exercise by encouraging lodges to improve the summons in some small way. We received many good suggestions from the DDGMs that the committee will review prior to next year's judging of the summonses and newsletters. R.W. Bro. Norman C. Ryder, District Deputy of Wilson South District, in his reply to this committee, stated: "Working together, we will make meaningful change!" With positive responses like this from R.W. Bro. Ryder and other DDGMs in the province, it makes the task of improving communications worth our time and we are seeing a steady improvement in the summonses, both in content and in presentation. We wish to congratulate the winners of this year's Summons and Newsletter competition. For this Masonic year, we congratulate the following: Best Lodge Summonses Minden Lodge No. 253 Frontenac District W.M. - W. Bro. Arthur Cooke Secy - Bro.

Once again, the committee has encouraged the DDGMs to malce use of the Communiqud which is periodically sent to them by the Grand Master and Deputy

Grand Master. The material contained in this communique should be forwarded to all lodges for the reading by all brethren. As in past years, three timely publications of the Events Calendar have been distributed to the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Secretary, all members of the Board of General Purposes and the District Deputy Grand Masters. The committee publishes a calendar of important events that are taking place in the Grand Jurisdiction for the Craft Lodges and we encourage our Masonic Family (Scottish Rite, Royal Arch and Shrine Events) to participate so that maybe we can avoid an overlap

of functions. We encourage submissions from the District Deputies to publicize visits

to home lodges, GM Receptions, Divine Services, Ladies' Nights, family events (i.e. golf

or curling events, BBQ's, Fish and Steak Fries, Walkathons, Sunrise Services, etc.).

It is only through the co-operation of the DDGMs by sending this information that we can publicize your events.

For the first time, R.W. Bro. David R. Dainard, editor of the Ontario Mason, has asked the committee to select thought provoking ideas from the Master's messages

in the lodge summonses which he will be publishing under the title "Points to

Ponder." As we searched for several submissions to forward to the editor and his staff, we find there are many excellent and thought provoking ideas put forth by our Masters. Keep up the good work! The Communications Committee participated in the three workshops put on by the Seminars and Workshops Committee in London, April 12, Barrie, May 12, and Ottawa,

May 26th, 2001. The presentation was entitled "Information Connection. Think It.

Share It." Reviewed the guidelines for Lodge Summonses and Newsletters. As well, content of the summons was discussed, use of large and easy to read type, source of ideas and materials for the summons along with the use of colour, pictures, different size of type and print to emphasize certain events.

The committee will gladly make itself available to any lodge to discuss the summons and assist in improving the presentation of material and content contained therein for

better communications with all lodge members. Remember, all lodges have members who can not attend due to health, distance, hearing, etc., the summons is the only way

they can keep in touch and to know what is happening in their lodge! The Communication Committee continues to work on vehicles and ideas by which the brethren can better communicate with one another and improve the harmony within the lodge. The committee has developed a pocket sized Masonic Diary aimed at the family of the member. This booklet contains information regarding a member's

Masonic history (i.e. Initiation, Passing and Raising, etc.), how the family goes about

requesting a Masonic Funeral Service and what is to be done with his Masonic Aprons, Jewels and books, etc. The other area in which we are suggesting a change would be to the length of the term of office of the Lodge Secretary. The committee therefore recommends a three to five year term as set out in each lodge's individual bylaws. This would not be mandatory but optional for the lodges who desire to use this tool. These ideas for use and implementation are being submitted to the Deputy Grand Master for his review.

M.W. Bro. Robert J. McKibbon, I have sincerely appreciated the opportunity of serving you and the brethren of the Grand Lodge A.F. & AM. of Canada in the Province of Ontario this year. The Communications Committee would like to thank the Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, and the office staff at Grand Lodge for 108 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION their continued support and assistance this past year. Thank you to R.W. Bro. Terry Shand, the Deputy Grand Master, for his guidance and leadership through the year and for taking time to attend one of our monthly committee meetings. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee. READE K. SPENCE, Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON BENEVOLENCE

This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. P. J. Mullen, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Mullen, it was adopted.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The Benevolence Committee is pleased to report that during the year ending April 30, 2001, there was disbursed in the interest of benevolence 36 grants and Christmas gratuities from the Memorial Fund, totalling $90,920. In addition $10,000 was paid for services provided by our Grand Lodge staff and $5,542 was paid to the firm of Scotia Cassels Investment Counsel Limited for investment management fees. Total expendi- tures were $106,462. Total investment income, including donations of $200, was $114,331. Your committee continues to be frustrated by applications that are received with information lacking. When this situation occurs, it requires them to be returned for more information, hence this causes unnecessary hardship to the applicant and a further delay in processing the application. May we again emphasize and stress the need for full and complete information on the application, in order for this committee to act quickly and expeditiously. Many lodges have again demonstrated the basic principles of Benevolence and Charity through their interest in and concern for their Brethren and their families. We wish to acknowledge the assistance of the District Deputy Grand Masters, and the District and Lodge Chairmen of Benevolence. Their care and attention to the work of our Committee is vital to ensure that every worthy situation is brought to our attention for review.

In conclusion I wish to personally express my sincere thanks and deep appreciation to M.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies, Grand Secretary and acting Supervisor of Benevolence, for his continued supervision of the benevolence portfolio, to the Grand Lodge staff for their willing and ready assistance, and to the dedicated members of this committee. Each of you exhibit a genuine interest in the welfare of each of our applicants. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee: R.W. Bros. T. R. Davies, W. J. Matyczuk, G. W. Nelson; G. Brown, E. P. Finkbeiner, L. W. Hammell, C. A. Olender, D. H. V. Shaw, R. G. Wands, K L. Whiting; W. Bros. D. K Bromley and B. J. Penney.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON AUDIT AND FINANCE

This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. T. E. Lewis, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. Lewis, it was adopted. To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The duties and responsibilities of the Committee on Audit and Finance of Grand Lodge are set forth in the Book of Constitution in subsection 136(a) and the committee now reports to Grand Lodge on the discharge of these several duties and responsibilities.

ACTIVITIES

The Committee on Audit and Finance continues to review the monthly financial statements as prepared by the Grand Lodge office and compares the results of operations and financial position of Grand Lodge to budget. The results of operations and financial position compare favourably to the budget adopted last year for fiscal 200 L The committee has once again reviewed and considered the Annual Reports of the Grand Secretary, the Grand Treasurer and the Auditors as referred to in this annual proceedings. These reports were found to be most informative and complete in all material respects. Accordingly, the committee recommends the adoption of these reports. Throughout the year, the committee continues to meet on a regular basis with our portfolio managers Scotia Cassels Investment Counsel Limited to not only monitor the activities of the portfolio, but to review the overall investment strategy as required, given the ongoing changes in the business and investment climate. The committee likewise reviews our investment strategy in conjunction with the Investment Plan as adopted by Grand Lodge last year. We are pleased to report that once again, our investment portfolio has continued to perform satisfactorily despite the drastic swings in the financial markets during the past year. The market value of the Grand Lodge investment portfolio, which is under administration is approximately $ 5,000,000. Again, we recommend their continuing engagement to manage our investment portfolio. Last year at the Annual Communication of Grand Lodge, our Grand Lodge approved an "Investment Plan." This document details and outlines the various investment policies and guidelines for the prudent investment of our investment fxjrtfolio and as such sets the parameters for investing our financial resources. We are pleased to report that all financial and investment matters are in compliance with the plan as established. 110 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

We have also reviewed the charitable donations made on behalf of our Grand Lodge by the Grand Master. These donations aggregated S3,000 for worthy charitable causes,

Sfjecifically S 1,000 each to the Grand Lx)dge of New Mexico, the Grand Lodge of Alabama and the Grand Lodge of India. As such, we recommend the approval of the same. We are pleased to report that the Audit and Finance Committee in concert with the Grand Treasurer have negotiated an arrangement with the Grand Lodge investment managers Scotia Cassels Investment Counsel Limited whereby the constituent lodges in our Grand Jurisdiction, along with other Masonic bodies may if they wish make investments with Scotia Cassels Investment Counsel Limited in "Private Client Units

]." [ Pools These mutual funds may be tailored to approximate the Grand Lodge portfolio mix and therefore receive a return on investments similar to that experienced by Grand Lodge or the investments can be made to the wish of the individual lodge. We would suggest that this arrangement would be best suited to investments of $50,000 or more. We have been advised by Scotia Cassels Investment Counsel Limited that very favourable annual administration fees will be applied. Should any lodge or body be interested in the foregoing, please contact either the Grand Lodge office, the Grand Treasurer or the chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited financial statements for Grand Lodge for the year ended April 30, 2001, were reviewed and discussed in detail with our auditors, Grant Thornton. These audited financial statements can be found elsewhere in the Annual Proceedings. As

Chairman of the Committee on Audit and Finance, I am pleased to report that your

Grand Lodge experienced another successful year with respect to its financial operations and its financial position. We congratulate the Grand Treasurer, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Master, the chairman of the Management Committee and the Chairmen and members of the various Grand Lodge committees for the efficient manner in which they managed the financial resources of our Grand Lodge. Accordingly, the committee recommends that the audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2001, be adopted as submitted. A special thanks to our auditors. Grant Thornton, Chartered Accountants, and in particular, Mr. George Benton, C.A., for their overall assistance and interest during the year.

BUDGET 2001-2002

The Audit and Finance Committee received from the Management Committee the budgetary requirements of all the Grand Lodge committees for the ensuing year, which were carefully considered in preparing the annual budget for our Grand Lodge for the year ended April 30, 2002. These amounts aggregated S 14,700, together with allocations made from the Programme Fund.

The budget for the General Fund for the ensuing year is set out in the appendix to this report, which reflects anticipated revenues of $681,000 and expenses of $671,000 resulting in a budget surplus of $10,000. However, given that included in the operational expenses is an amount of $10,000, which is merely a transfer to the 150* Anniversary Fund, we are in fact budgeting for an operational surplus of $20,000. As in prior years, a budget for the Special Programme Fund has been prepared, which is set out in the appendix attached to this report and reflects budgeted expenses of $155,900. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 111

The operational and Special Programme budgets were prepared on a line by line examination based on the actual results of the previous year and giving consideration to the needs of Grand Lodge to facilitate desirable and meaningful programmes. In accordance with subsection 134 (c) of the Book of Constitution, your committee submits for consideration and approval, as set out below, an estimate of the revenues and expenses as they relate to the General Fund for the year ended April 30, 2002. Your committee believes that the budget set out in this report is realistic and provides for items which can be reasonably foreseen to meet the obligations, financial responsibilities and commitments of the General Fund of Grand Lodge for the current fiscal year.

GENERAL

In conclusion, as Chairman of the Committee on Audit and Finance, I particularly want to express my thanks and appreciation to the Grand Treasurer, R.W. Bro. T. R. Davies, the Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, and the Grand Lodge staff, for their guidance, outstanding contributions and assistance to this committee.

I also wish to express my appreciation to the members of this committee for their interest and involvement in the management of the financial affairs of this Grand Lodge, in the persons of M.W. Bro. R. J. McKibbon, M.W. Bro. Durward I. Greenwood, R.W. Bro. T. Shand, R.W. Bro. T. R. Davies, R.W. Bro. J. T. Cassie and R.W. Bro. R. G. Wands.

Respectfully and fi-aternally submitted on behalf of the committee. THOMAS E. LEWIS, Chairman I

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

Brethren:

I appreciate this opportunity to report on behalf of the Committee on the Grand Master's Address, regarding such a warm, cordial, forthright and uplifting report by our Grand Master. His remarks exude with a fitting welcome, not only to this membership but also to our distinguished guests from so many parts of our universe On a sombre note, our Grand Master reflects upon the loss of so many of our membership and has fittingly expressed gratitude for the diligent efforts of many, such

as the late R.W. Bros. John D. Atchison, Frederick M. Cass, Roderick J. Connor,

Hugh M. Dunlop, Paul J. McNeil, Glen H. Sage, and Deryck R. Weber, as well as a District Secretary, W. Bro Don Brant.

Your committee is in agreement with our Grand Master's recommendation that another three-year Honorary Term on the Board of General Purposes be conferred upon R.W. Bros. H. Neil Britton, Ronald K Campbell, Terry A. McLean and Robert T. Runciman. We join in congratulating Bros. Kenneth Earl Brown and Thomas Seager upon the high honour of receiving the William Mercer Wilson Medal, and heartily endorse his choice for recipients of the Meritorious Service Award, R.W. Bro.

E. J. Scarborough and R.W. Bro. Kenneth L. Schweitzer. This committee enthusiastically notes the special thanks extended by our Grand Master to retiring Board Members R.W. Bros. Edward R. Habermehl, Aired Morrow, Reade K. Spence and A. Paul Stephen, and that ten-year financial veteran R.W. Bro. Robert G. Wands, as well as to this past year's Grand Director of Ceremonies. Our Grand Master reports upon his many duties within this jurisdiction, as well as his ambassadorial and committee duties beyond Ontario's borders ... all being accomplished in an exemplary manner. Participation in so many Masonic Divine

Services, with his 'oh so helpful wife' Marjorie, is duly noted as well as district receptions, lodge amalgamations, the unique Brotherhood BBQ and visits to other Grand Lodges, the Supreme Council A. & A.S.R. of Canada and Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Ontario. His work with the Masonic Foundation of Ontario and the Help-2-Hear programme, as well as Masonic relief in New Mexico, Alabama and

India is much appreciated. Our Grand Master has also found time to serve our Craft by working at the Fifth World Masonic Conference, the Conference of Grand Masters of North America (Commission on Information for Recognition), the All Canada Conference, as well as meetings with the leadership of appendant bodies. The committee recognizes and concurs with the action of our Grand Master in establishing a 150* Anniversary Committee, in granting Dispensation to form "New Light" Lodge in Waterloo District, of allowing up to 20% of lodge summonses to announce significant events by Masonic bodies with whom we are in amity, the quest for solutions to common problems with other Masonic bodies and, of course, we congratulate our Grand Master on his procurement of the Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England as speaker. We received a wonderful treat last evening. Finally, our Grand Master has acknowledged and thanked the Deputy Grand 116 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Master, who is also the Chairman of the Board of General Purposes. This board has many facets to whom our Grand Master has expressed gratitude, including the D.D.G.M.s, the Advisory Group, Management Committee and Past Grand Masters. In addition, the Grand Lodge office staff who work so efficiently with our Grand Secretary, and most importantly his wife Marjorie, all of whom are suitably commended

- all of which this Committee on the Grand Master's Address heartily endorse. Submitted on behalf of the committee composed of M.W. Bros. E. W. Nancekivell, R. E. Davies, N. R. Richards, H. O. Polk, W. R. Pellow, D. C. Bradley, N. E. Byrne,

REPORT OF THE AWARDS COMMITTEE (WILLIAM MERCER WILSON MEDAL)

This Report was presented by M. W. Bro. H. O. Polk, Chairman, seconded by the Deputy Grand Master, and received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

How fitting to pause at this the 146th Annual Communication of Grand Lodge to pay tribute to, and congratulate, the two (2) recipients of the William Mercer Wilson Medal named in the Grand Master's address. They, together with prior stalwarts so honoured, have set a standard of service more members of our Craft should strive to imitate. In particular, visitations to the ill, impaired, confined, and lonely brethren. Such gestures of concern for the well being of a brother need not require a prolonged period of time, but are uplifting, comforting and much appreciated. At the time of preparing this report, we were struck by two unfathomable facts. First, the petitions that led to the honour being granted were in detailed, articulate form revealing the contributions by the nominees to Freemasonry and community charitable projects.

Secondly, it is painful for the committee to reject many applications. The necessity of following each and every numbered article of the Regulations governing the award have been repeatedly documented in previous reports by this committee. In many instances submissions on behalf of otherwise qualified nominees have been denied the honour for failure to comply with regulatory requirements, especially Article 5. 118 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Acknowledgments:

1. To committee members, M.W. Bro. N. R. Richards and M.W. Bro. D. I. Greenwood, for their efficient services to the committee.

2. Our sincere thanks to the Grand Secretary and his staff for their assistance and support with their cheerful grace.

REPORT OF THE GRAND HISTORIAN This Report was presented by R. W. Bro. Wallace McLeod, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R. W. Bro. McLeod, it was received.

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Once again, it is appropriate that the Grand Historian should express his gratitude to the Grand Master, for honouring him with this title. According to the book of

Constitution, one of the duties assigned to this office is to record matters that are connected with the history of Grand Lodge.

In our Grand Lodge's book, Beyond the Pillars (Hamilton, 1973), there is a section called "Masonry in Literature" (pages 12-14), which quotes six passages from famous works that allude to the gentle Craft: Robbie Burns's "Farewell to the Brethren of St James's Lodge, Tarbolton" (1786); Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's The Magic Flute (1791); Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado (1846); Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace (1866); Rudyard Kipling's /Ci/n (1901); and James Joyce's Ulysses (1922). There are of course many others.

So let us look at a few more texts. We might begin with Shakespeare. There are little tags in his plays that have a vaguely Masonic ring - such phrases as: "The undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns" (Hamlet); "What, my old Worshipful Master!" (Taming of the Shrewy, "You and your apron-men" (Coriolanusy, "Both are at the Lodge" (Titus Andronicus). Do these lines indicate that Shakespeare actually composed our ritual? For my part,

I do not believe that they are connected with the Craft. Nor am I persuaded that the words "darkness visible" (Paradise Lost 1.63) indicate that Milton contributed to our ceremonies, nor that when we speak of freeing the soul from the dominion of "pride and prejudice" we prove that Jane Austen helped to write the Work.

The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), as we noted, was a Freemason, initiated in the Lodge "Beneficence" in Vienna, on 14 December 1784. He wrote the music for a number of specifically Masonic songs. One of them might be

rendered into English like this:

O holy band of friendship of true Brothers, Like highest bliss and joy of Paradise, TORONTO, 0>rrARIO, 2001 119

A friend to faith, yet to the world not hostile, To all men known, yet full of mysteries.

We move on to the American novelist Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), better known as Mark Twain, who was initiated in Polar Star Lodge, No 79, St Louis,

Missouri, in 1861. It is sometimes said that he didn't refer to Masonry in his writings. But did you catch the reference in Huckleberry Finn (1884)?

Tom says: "Now, we'll start this band of robbers and call it Tom Sawyer's Gang. Everybody that wants to join has got to take an oath, and write his name in blood." Everybody was willing. So Tom got out a sheet of paper that he had wrote the oath on, and

read it. It swore every boy to stick to the band, and never tell any of the secrets.... And if anybody that belonged to the band told the secrets, he must have his throat cut, and then have

his carcass burnt up and the ashes scattered all around, and his name blotted off the list with

blood and never mentioned again by the gang, but have a curse put on it and be forgot forever.

Everybody said it was a real beautiful oath, and asked Tom if he got it out of his own head.

He said some of it, but the rest was out of pirate-books and robber-books, and every gang that

was high-toned had it.

Do you perhaps belong to a high-toned gang like that?

The French author, Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893), it seems, did not belong to

the Craft. Here is a brief selection from his short story, "My Uncle Sosthenes."

My uncle was a Freemason, and I used to declare that they are stupider than old women

devotees.... What is their object? Mutual help to be obtained by tickling the palms of each

other's hands. I see no harm in it.... It was, however, indeed a sight to see my uncle when he had a Freemason to dinner. On meeting they shook hands in a manner that was irresistibly funny; one could see that

they were going through a series of secret mysterious pressures. When I wished to put my uncle

in a rage, I had only to tell him that dogs also have a manner which savors very much of Freemasonry, when they greet one another on meeting.

And we ought to mention Bro. Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) once again; he was initiated in Lodge Hope and Perseverance, No 782, in Lahore, India, in 1886. Two of his stories, "In the Interests of the Brethren," and "A Madonna of the Trenches," are explicitly Masonic. They both concern a Lodge that was founded in London during the First World War, to provide a home away from home for visiting Brethren in the

armed forces. On one occasion, at a Lodge of Instruction, a degree is being rehearsed

by the visitors. One of those in attendance, a corporal with only one foot, is asked if he enjoys watching the rehearsal. He replies:

Do I? It's Heaven to me, sittin' in Lx)dge again. It's all comin' back now, watching their mistakes.

I haven't much religion, but all I had I learnt in Lodge.... Yes, "veiled in all'gory and illustrated by symbols" - the Fatherhood of God, an' the Brotherhood of Man; an' what more in Hell do you want?'

The great English scholar and writer Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) - not a

Mason - wrote a story called "The Inexperienced Ghost," that was first published in

Twelve Stories and a Dream, in October 1903. It tells how five friends visit the Mermaid

Club. One of them, Clayton, tells how he had met a ghost the night before. The spectre, who was new to the trade, had forgotten the sequence of motions he had to go through in order to vanish. So Clayton practised them with him, until they finally

came out right, and the phantom was able to rejoin the world of spirits. Then Clayton proceeded to demonstrate the gestures to his friends. Here we pick up the author's words. 120 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

He stood up.... He raised his two hands slowly to the level of his eyes and so began.... Now, Sanderson [another of the friends] is a Freemason, a member of the lodge of the Four Kings, which devotes itself so ably to the study and elucidation of all the mysteries of Masonry past and present, and among the students of this lodge Sanderson is by no means the least. He followed Clayton's movements with a singular interest in his reddish eye. "That's not bad," he said, when in it was done. "You really do, you know, put things together, Clayton, a most amazing fashion. But there's one little detail [left] out.... These happen to be a series of gestures - connected with a certain branch of esoteric Masonry."

So Sanderson shows him the correct form of the sign. After some hesitation, Clayton runs through the whole series, and at the end he too joins the spirit world - by dropping dead. An entertaining tale, to be sure.

Less known is an American science fiction writer, David Henry Keller (1880-1966). His short story, "The Psychophonic Nurse," was published in 1928.

It tells how a family engaged a mechanical nursemaid to care for baby, so that mother would have time to pursue her writing career. Father felt the need to display some parental affection, and when the machine went out in the evening with the perambulator, he made a practice of following it, disconnecting it under a clump of willows, and taking baby for a walk himself. Nobody was the wiser, for "almost all the men he had met during the evening hour were Masons and he knew they could be trusted."

On one such occasion there was a sudden violent snow-storm that engulfed father, child, and robot. The next morning, when mother went in search, she found "the entire lodge brotherhood breaking their way through the snow-drifts. They had been forced to spend the entire night at the hall." The master of the lodge confessed that father had not in fact been present; no doubt he had been out, as usual, with baby.

When mother protested, "the master looked at his senior warden, and they exchanged unspoken words." The lodge members went straight to the willow-clump where they had so often seen father and child. On digging up a large snow-drift, they found the strays, father ill with pneumonia, but baby well protected by man and machine. When father finally recovered, he found the mechanical nurse gone, and his wife back in her "proper" role as housekeeper and mother.

The great Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), in his novel A Farewell to Arms (1929),

Chapter 2, recounts how, at one stage during the First World War, two young Italian officers were talking.

"All thinking men are atheists," the major said. [And then, as if they were the same thing, he goes on,] "I do not believe in the Free Masons however."

"I believe in the Free Masons," the lieutenant said. "It is a noble organization."

This is of course a reflection of reality. The Catholic Church has formally condemned Freemasonry ever since 1738, except for a few years between 1974 and 1983. In Italy, because of this condemnation. Freemasons came to be equated with unbelievers.

Or there's a Canadian historical novel that was published in 1933 entitled The Yellow Briar; the author was John Mitchell (1882-1951), who wrote under the pen- name of Patrick Slater. It talks about pioneer days in Canada. Here Paddy Slater tells what happened to him when he was eight or nine years old; that would be in 1847. On one occasion he had heard reports that a Masonic lodge was to be instituted in a local pub. The story goes on from there. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 2001 121

The next morning early I slipped around to see what had happened at the Tavern TVrone.... No sign saw I of ought untoward. first meeting The of King Solomon's Lodge ... had evidently passed off without anyone being hurted.

Young Jack Trueman may have heard more of that lodge meeting than was intended for his ears.... He claimed to have hidden under the bed in the back bedroom upstairs, with his ear to the partition. In any event, the matter was much on his mind; and in the afternoon, he herded a dozen youngsters into the Trueman stable to hold a lodge meeting of his own. I was in charge of the door; and Jack had a hammer and an empty beer barrel.

He gave the barrel three smart knocks; and we all came to attention.

"What now, brethren, is our first care?" he demanded....

I had my instructions.

"To see that the lodge is properly tyled, Worshipful Sir," said I. "Direct that duty to be done," commanded Trueman Junior.

So I hammered three times on the inside of the stable door, and a little negro boy, posted outside, hammered back three times, to tell us everything was in order.

But young Jack refused to believe his ears. Over and over, he insisted that we holler at him:

"The lodge is properly tyled, Worshipful Sir."

So I went out to make dead sure about it, and then I quietly stole away on more important business of my own.

We are giving away no secrets if we note that the King Solomon's Lodge, now No 22, G.R.C., in Toronto, was constituted in John Trueman's Tyrone Inn, on June 24, 1847.

And there is the famous science fiction writer, Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988). In 1940 his short story "If This Goes On-" appeared. Let me quote a paragraph or two.

He rapped once on another door; immediately another man, armed and masked like the first, came out and faced us. He asked Zeb and myself separately: "Do you seriously declare, upon your honor, that unbiased by friends and uninfluenced by mercenary motives, you freely and voluntarily offer yourself to the service of this order?"

We each answered, "I do." ....

... Then there were questions, many questions, which I answered automatically, unable to lie or hedge if I had wanted to. I recall them in snatches: "- "- of your own free will and accord?" "- conform to the ancient established usages -" a man, free bom, of good repute, and well recommended." ...

... I heard a strong bass voice intoning a prayer:

"Vouchsafe thine aid. Almighty Father of the Universe.... love, relief, and truth to the honor of Thy Holy Name. Amen."

And the answering chorus, "So mote it be!"

Or there's a murder mystery, by Reginald Hill, entitled Who Guards the Prince?

(New York, 1982). It begins like this.

'These several points I solemnly swear to observe without evasion, equivocation, or mental reservation of any kind...'

The Entered Apprentice felt ridiculous and he felt frightened. He felt ridiculous because his left trouser leg was rolled up above his knee, his left breast was bared, and he was wearing a slipper on his right foot. He felt frightened because he had a noose round his neck, a blindfold round his eyes and a dagger at his throat.

The ceremony ground interminably on, till at last he heard the Praeceptor's voice say, "Having been kept for a considerable time in a state of darkness, what in your present situation is the predominant wish of your heart?' His voice was hoarse as he croaked, 'Light.' 'Let that blessing be restored to the candidate.' 122 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

There was a single clap from several hands and, with a disproportionate sense of relief, he felt the blindfold being removed.

Avery entertaining book, entitled Two Crownsfor America, by Katherine Kurtz, was published a few years ago (New York, 1996). The story takes place during the American Revolution. It turns out that a secret society was one of the main factors motivating the War. On one occasion, the daughter-in-law of one of the main characters accidentally overhears some of the ritual from the room below. And so, in order to keep the secrets safe, she has to be initiated. She is escorted into the room, and at the proper time the presiding officer says to her:

"Now, with your left hand supp)orting and your right hand resting upon the Volume of the -" Sacred Law, you will repeat the obligation after me.... I - and state your full name

"I, Arabella Julianne Carmichael Wallace, ... Of my own free will and accord ... Hereby and hereon ... Do swear always to hele and conceal and never reveal ... write, indite, carve, mark, engrave, or otherwise delineate ... unless it be in a regularly assembled and properly dedicated

Lodge ... any part of the secrets of Masonry ... that may now or at any future time be communicated to me.... These several points I solemnly swear to observe ... without evasion, equivocation, or mental reservation of any kind ... under no less a penalty ... than that of having my throat cut across ... my tongue torn out by the root ... and buried in the sand of the sea at low water mark, or a cable's length from the shore ... where the tide regularly ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours...."

You've been very patient through all this. But what conclusion can we draw? Well, in the first place, even from this selection, we can see that there are a good many references to Freemasonry in the literary world. But in the second place, it may make a difference whether or not the authors are themselves Masons. If they are not Masons, there are clearly some aspects that they cannot understand, some implications that they cannot comprehend. But those who have been initiated do have some notion of how the Craft operates, and what effect it has on its members. In particular, I think that the Brethren of today will find not only familiar words, but also responsive and emotional insights, in such literary figures as Burns, Mozart, and above all Kipling. So keep your eyes Of)en as you read. Who knows what you'll find out there?

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted. WALLACE McLEOD, Grand Historian

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE

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

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It is again my privilege, on behalf of this committee, to present the report or foreword to the Reviews of the Annual Proceedings of our sister Grand Lodges received during the past year. Sincere thanks and gratitude is extended to R.W. Bro. Frederic R. Branscombe for his careful selection of items and countless hours of preparation of these Reviews for the interest of the brethren. Thanks are also directed to Mrs. Agnes Arts of Englehart, Ontario, for her kind assistance in the translation of the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of the Netherlands. These Reviews are intended to inform the membership of the conditions and activities throughout the Masonic World. A wealth of information for the Mason who may be active in Masonic Education, speech making, and Masonic toasts, can be found in the topics included in the following reviews. Many thought-provoking ideas and quotations are illustrated, as well as new and familiar programmes included to make interesting reading and an educational experience. Many Grand Jurisdictions, and indeed lodges, have adopted the concept of COMMUNITY VISIBILITY and PUBLIC AWARENESS to create a positive outlook about Freemasonry in an attempt to educate the outside world who and what we are. This seems to have a far reaching effect through youth programmes, child identification systems, scholarships, drug prevention, and many others. The need to educate the ill-informed is a positive step to combat the attacks on the Fraternity.

Education within the Craft is also necessary to enable the Mason to tell the world who and what we stand for. M.W. Bro. Chapin, Grand Master, Virginia, stated: "If our brethren know enough about our Fraternity, and are willing and confident in their ability to tell others, our opposition will vanish." COMPUTERS, INTERNET and WEB SITES are all too familiar language in the present society. Many Grand Lodges and lodges have enhanced their use of computers and web sites to display Freemasonry to Masons and non-Masons. Strict caution, however, must be observed with guidance and direction from respective Grand Secretaries in order to preserve privacy and proper information concerning the Order. Changes and reaction to new ideas and experiments are constant throughout many jurisdictions. All the way in a day, opening, closing, and handling business in different degrees, and minimum age for initiation, are a few ideas that have been tried, tested, and suggested. The Grand Master of Nova Scotia, M.W. Bro. Lloyd Blagdon, in his reaction to change stated: "Learn from the past; don't live in it," and being a navy man he stated: "We cannot change the winds, but we can adjust our sails." Masonic Youth Groups such as the DeMolay, Rainbow Girls, and Job's Daughters have increased in membership in some jurisdictions. They are seen as active and positive steps for our youth in preparation for adulthood. The Grand Lodge Youth Organizations Committee of Ohio emphasized the need for Masons to help and assist the youth of these organizations in order that these young people will gain a favourable impression of the Fraternity that will carry them into their adult years. The report of this committee closed with this admonition: "The key to Masonry's future lies in the way we treat the teens of today. If we ignore them, we could be extinct in a few short years. If we nurture them, we can once again grow in numbers and standing." 19g GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

Some Grand Lodges have entered into dialogue with Prince Hall Freemasonry with a view of future recognition and visitation. The preserving of lodge records and historical materials has been addressed in some jurisdictions. Grand Lodge Libraries are being utilized to assist members involved in research and education. Preserving lodge records electronically has been encouraged. The Grand Lodge of the Netherlands is currently involved with their government in retrieving lost records confiscated during World War IL The importance of the preservation and delivering of the Ritual has been addressed by some jurisdictions. Committees assigned to this task have taken steps to guard against any decline in the quality of the Ritual and in the same manner to produce and distribute videos of the several monitorial lectures of the degrees where applicable. The Committee on Rituals of British Columbia reminded their members of Grand Lodge that "the reading of Ritual in Lodge is not an acceptable practice."

As the foregoing is a brief overview of the topics and programmes contained in these Reviews, you are invited and encouraged to read them in their entirety. As a member of this Grand Jurisdiction you are asked to make yourself acquainted with the Proceedings of other Grand Lodges in order to become aware how they deal with the every day routines. Sincere thanks are also extended to the office of the Grand Secretary and others who have made this report possible.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted. G. WAYNE NELSON, Chairman

ALBERTA 95th Annual Communication Camrose, Alberta, June, 2000

137 Lodges 8, 690 Members

In his Annual Address, the Grand Master stated his belief that "Freemasonry in this jurisdiction is improving each year and that a greater sense of optimism prevails than has been the case in the past." He indicated, however, that serious difficulties faced the Craft. For example, one lodge was forced into amalgamation "through an absence of candidates resulting from a vigorous anti-Masonic campaign by a member of the clergy in that community." M.W. Bro. Joseph A. Jones warned of another serious problem which Albertan Masons might soon encounter. He stated that though relations with the two Shrine temples in Alberta remain congenial and compatible, he sensed a strained atmosphere resulting from an announcement by the Imperial Potentate that "the Shrine might consider 'going to the street' in an effort to recruit what he described as civic members" The Grand Master assured Grand Lodge that "we will keep in contact and continue to be informed in these matters."

The Fraternal Relations Committee commented in its report that "not all Jurisdictions respond to any communication whatsoever, and so difficulties are faced when no communication can be realized." This made the work of Grand Representa- tives particularly difficult. The committee realized, however, that increased costs for printing and mailing have prevented some Grand Lodges from exchanging copies of their Proceedings.

The Grand Historian reported on the Institution on March 4, 2000, of Internet Lodge of Research, UD. The Habitat for Humanity 2000 project was organized by the Masters, Wardens and Deacons Association of Edmonton and sponsored jointly with the Habitat for Humanity in Edmonton. Local lodges raised over $45,000 and individual members volunteered their time and work in building a single family house. The Grand Historian described the undertaking as an unqualified success. "The project," he said, "was successful on many levels: we were able to put the lessons we learn in the North East corner to practical use; we were able to apply our working tools in an operative sense again; we experienced a wonderful fellowship that comes from working to a good end; and we raised the public profile of the Craft in a positive light; and the engraved granite cornerstone on this new home will remain a legacy in the community for years to come."

ARKANSAS 157th Annual Communication

Little Rock, Arkansas, February, 2000 314 Lodges 23,697 Members M.W. Bro. Kevin L. Hatfield, in his Annual Report to the Grand Lodge, reminded his brethren how exciting it was, as they left one millennium and entered another, to reflect not only on the great accomplishments of Masonry in the past but also on the exciting opportunities in the future for them to help improve Freemasonry. He indicated how much Masonry had done for him by enabling him to meet so many fine

Brothers throughout Arkansas and far beyond. "I think about what I have learned from each of them," he said, "whether it was philosophical, comical, whimsical or fraternal." 200 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

A report was given on the Grand Lodge Website, which had been in operation for about a year and has received more then 10,000 visitors. It has received much favourable recognition for excellence, including the prestigious Outstanding Masonic Website Award for 1999. The site was provided to the Grand Lodge of Arkansas by the Arkansas York Rite College No. 142, as a service to the Masons of the State of Arkansas. The college pays the monthly server fee and also the domain registration fees.

The Charities Board Report indicated that it had a most successful year in administering aid and financial assistance to all worthy and qualified applicants.

However, it stressed the need for every lodge to be alert to any special needs of its members and, after due examination of the circumstances, report such cases to the

Charities Board. An additional responsibility of this Board is to administer a special fund to assist in paying the educational costs of orphaned sons and daughters of Master Masons who were in good standing at the time of their death. The Board reported that in 1999 it had awarded six scholarships, amounting to $9,450. The Grand Orator, in his Annual Address, stressed the need for Masons to support charitable enterprises in the community, as well as those which the Grand Lodge sponsored. In this way Masonry can be seen in each community as a force for good and will show clearly to the community what Masonry is all about. The Grand Orator's

Address came to a climax with these thoughts: "Masonry is not about the card in our wallet or the ring on our finger. Freemasonry is about what is in our hearts that make us different from other men. Let us go into the world and show others, by our example, what Masonic hearts can do for our fellow man."

BRITISH COLUMBIA 129th Annual Conununication Vernon, British Columbia, June, 2000 160 Lodges 14,431 Members

Two projects in Masonic Education during the year which, in his view, gave promise of a great future for the Craft were reported on by M.W. Bro. William H. Carter. One of these was the first ever District Deputy Grand Master's Seminar, where the Grand Master's theme for the year, BACK TO BASICS, was well received. He reported that the high calibre of the presentations "ensured the D.D.G.M.s received the very best instruction. They, in turn, responded with enthusiasm, resulting in an unqualified success being experienced, giving us well trained D.D.G.M.s and cemented the Team."

The other Masonic Education project, which the Grand Master felt augured well for Masonry in British Columbia, was a Workshop for Wardens and Deacons, which was given at Dawson Creek in the north country and repeated at Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. The attenders, as was the case with the D.D.G.M.s in their seminar, paid their own travelling and accommodation expenses, as well as their share of the cost of the event.

In its report the Committee on Rituals spoke of the constant need for lodges to guard against any decline in the quality of the ritual. For example, unless care is taken to prevent it, there is always a danger of yielding to the temptation to abbreviate ritual seriously for the sake of brevity. The committee also reminded members of Grand

Lodge that "the reading of Ritual in Lodge is not an acceptable practice." The Library Board of Trustees and Archives reported that several first editions, some up to three hundred years old, have been removed firom general circulation and FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 201

replaced by reprints. The original copies "remain in the Library database but have been relocated to the Archives for safekeeping. The database currently contains 5,340 items.

Online access, available to all of our members on the internet, is planned." With respect to Archives, the Library and Archives Board made an important and insightful announcement: "This year a concerted effort was made to identify all items belonging to the Archives and to catalogue and index them. A two-part project was initiated; first, to create an actual archives, as opposed to a simple collection; and second, to mount a museum display suitable for viewing by the brethren and the public. It must be stressed that creating an archives is an ongoing process and not a finite project."

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Semiannual Communication and 189th Annual Communication Washington, District of Columbia, May and December 1999 34 Lodges 5,464 Members The Report of the Masonic Education and Service Committee to the Semiannual Communication noted that "there are now thousands of ways in which Masons can learn more about Freemasonry using computers and the internet for communication and reading." In announcing that it had taken steps to provide a web site to every lodge in the jurisdiction that would like to have one, the committee offered "to work with any Lodge that wishes to do further work on having an interesting and informative presence on the Internet, and use of computers for Masonic purposes." The Semiannual Communication approved the Report of the Correspondence Committee, which recommended that the Grand Master enter into negotiations, with a view to establishing amity between the Grand Lodge, F.A.A.M., of the District of Columbia and the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia. Two other actions of interest taken at the Semiannual Communication were: (i) approval of the minimum age for initiates being lowered to eighteen years; (ii) authorization of the addition of "a Standing Committee to authenticate an in-depth study of the desirability of permitting Constituent Lodges to open, close and conduct business on any one of the degrees of symbolic Masonry." M.W. Bro. Dan L. Frederick, in his formal Report to the Annual Communication, reminded his hearers that they are always being watched by Masons and non-Masons throughout the world. To cope with this constant pressure, he gave them advice which is equally applicable to members of the Craft wherever they may be. "It seems that the world around us," he warned his brethren, "observes all that we do and we have to be on our best behaviour to avoid ridicule. As we enter the new millennium we must be ready to think more openly. Embrace change, it is a good thing! Enjoy the fruits of our labours, but let us not forget that there is still plenty of work to do. We have made significant changes this year and the picture of our great fraternity is becoming clearer and clearer." M.W. Bro. Frederick announced that he had been informed that the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia had approved the establishment of amity

between it and the Grand Lodge F.A.A.M., of the District of Columbia. The Grand Master stated that he had granted a dispensation for a lodge, denominated the Nur Lodge, working in Emulation style Ritual in the Turkic language.

The fact that there is a lodge in Washington working in Turkic, he said, will enhance the image of Freemasonry in the United States throughout the Masonic world. 202 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

ENGLAND Quarterly Communications and Annual Investiture London, England, March, April, June, September and December, 2000 8,662 Lodges At the Annual Investiture of the United Grand Lodge of England in April, M.W. Bro. HRH the Duke of Kent, delivered his Address as Grand Master. He spoke of the continued attacks on Freemasonry and of the signs that the public is beginning to realize "that we do not deserve the reputation with which some of our critics attempt to label us." Speaking of openness in Freemasonry, he said that openness about Masonry's purposes and charitable works should be encouraged, but Masonic ceremonies are private and should remain so. "We stand or fall, brethren," he emphasized, "by the way we as Masons lead our lives; if our families, our neighbours and the people with whom we spend our working hours know that we have a 'system of morality' which we try our best to maintain, then they will be able to evaluate so- called 'disclosures' and alleged scandals for what they really are." The Board of General Purposes, at the March Quarterly Comm.unication, lifted the prohibition on brethren of the English Constitution visiting lodges under the Grand Lodges of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. At the same Communication, the Board referred to the extraordinary increase in the ability to transmit information resulting from the introduction of the World Wide Web. It saw that the internet "can be a major tool in the process of better informing the public about Freemasonry" but also the lack of control over the use of the internet may cause serious problems. The Board recommended the following policy: "There is no objection to Provinces or individual Lodges setting up web sites, but to ensure accuracy and consistency the material to be used should be forwarded to the Grand Secretary's office for approval in advance of its use."

Grand Lodge gave its approval in June to the recommendation of the Board of General Purposes that "the convention of not recognizing two Grand Lodges in one territory without the consent of both is necessary for the maintenance of good order within regular Freemasonry. The U.G.L.E. has consistently applied this convention when dealing with applications for recognition from Prince Hall Grand Lodges in the U.S.A., never recognizing a Prince Hall body without the consent of the relevant State

Grand Lodge which it had already recognized." At the December Quarterly Communication, the Board of General Purposes reminded Grand Lodge that "The idea of a United Grand Lodge of Europe has been raised on a number of occasions in the past thirty years. As membership of such an umbrella IxDdy would necessarily result in a loss of sovereignty by those involved, Grand Lodge has always declined to take part."

FLORIDA 171st Annual Communication Orlando, Florida, May, 2000 314 Lodges 61,199 Members

The task facing Freemasonry in the coming years, said M.W. Bro. Keith W. Dean in

his report to Grand Lodge, is to demonstrate the soundness of the Craft's fundamental

principle that it is possible for good men of differing faiths, backgrounds and opinions to work together for the common good. "To accomplish this," he said, "we as a Fraternity must continue to select men as members and as leaders who value the FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 203

Fraternity more than self. We must select those who will work for the good of the Fraternity. We must continue to select men who will quietly offer constructive criticism in an erring brother's ear rather than engaging in underhanded gossip and backbiting. And we must continue to select those men who truly love their deserving fellow men despite their backgrounds or failings." With reference to one-day classes, the Grand Master said that they "continue to be controversial. This year we required that only two degrees be conferred. The Entered Apprentice Degree had to be conferred in the petitioner's Lodge." Among the Masonic Education Committee's recommendations was the reminder that all candidates for either initiation or advancement to a higher degree should be given free of charge the relevant Masonic Education Booklets for study at home. The committee made a comparatively unusual suggestion regarding home study. It proposed that "Candidates should be informed and encouraged to have their families read and discuss these materials for a better understanding of Freemasonry." Activities by individual lodges to develop good public relations, as assessed by the Public Relations and Publicity Committee, ranged from excellent in some instances to non-existent in others. Many lodges have a continuing programme which includes "family, community, church, charitable undertakings and participation by a majority of lodge brothers. Other lodges have only monthly business meetings." The chairman of the Grand Master's Child Identification Programme gave a report on a very successful year. He stated his belief that the programme "had earned the respect and admiration of many non-Masonic families all over the State of Florida. This is the type of public relations that we need so badly. We have demonstrated to the public that we are good men doing admirable things. You know that our detractors can talk about what we do that is wrong, but we get out in public and show what we do that's right."

ILLINOIS 160th Annual Communication

Springfield, Illinois, October, 1999

Relations with Prince Hall Masons have continued to be excellent, M.W. Bro. J. Garrie Burr stated in his Annual Report. He said that he was particularly pleased that "several of our constituent lodges have availed themselves of the opportunity to expand their Masonic friendships by attending lodge as well as social functions with our brethren from Prince Hall. I see no reason why this should not continue and expand in the coming years." Also related to the theme of Masonic unity, the Grand Master observed that he had adhered during the year to the tradition established by previous Grand Masters of emphasizing the importance of Masonic unity. To that end, he and his officers had endeavoured whenever possible to attend events of the appendant organizations.

The Grand Orator issued a stern warning that contemporary Masonry is in great danger of losing sight both of the reason for its existence and of the essential elements of its greatness. "At the conclusion of World War II, our fraternity reached a high point in its American development. These riches of prosperity caused great changes in our fraternity. We were consumed with the need to purchase property and the building of great Temples to house our lodges, as an outward sign of our great success and our individual importance. As is so often the case in America we made the mistake of measuring success by our material accomplishments. This expenditure both for the 204 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA purchase and for the upkeep put great demand on our needs for more and more money and with it came the attendant evil of demanding more and more members to satisfy that need. This became the consuming drive of the fraternity and almost by necessity still is." From his analysis of the past, the Grand Orator turned to the present. "Let

Masonry be brave now," he challenged his brethren, "as it was in the past. Let us take upon ourselves the task of educating all men in the principles of Masonry. Let us forget membership, golf outings, picnics and other fun things and get down to the hard, nitty-gritty work we are assigned to do. Let us teach men to be better men. Let us make men; let not men make Masonry." He concluded with this call to duty: "Let us vow each of us individually and all of us collectively, here and now pledge that we will rededicate our Fraternity to the propagation of its true philosophy, the building of better men .... Let us, each of us, individually and all of us collectively, educate men in Masonry. Let us, each of us individually and all of us collectively, build the fourth temple in our hearts. If we do, they will come individually and collectively, and swell our ranks to record numbers."

INDIANA 183rd Annual Communication Indianapolis, Indiana, May, 2000 476 Lodges 86,542 Members

M.W. Bro. Ishmael D. Ison's examination, in his Address as Grand Master, of the condition of the Craft did more than give a factual statement of successes and failures of Masonry in his State. He considered its essential nature and its external features, as they remain constant or change in a changing society. "Masonry of today," he said, "has changed slightly from our ancient form. Not in its allegory, philosophy, morality or teachings among our brethren, but in its prestige as a leader in society where non- Masons would respect and try to emulate the high standards that our brethren portray each and every day. I believe that it is because there are many lies, misbeliefs and falsehoods about our Fraternity which only you, the members, can dispel. We must lead, by example, in everything that we do or say. If you talk the talk, then you must walk the walk: thus we should dedicate our lives to the teaching of Freemasonry." He asked his brethren to "preserve our institution for our young who will pass this way in the future." The Grand Master recommended "that we permit Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts participation in the memorial services and funerals of the Craft. A resolution was passed at last year's Grand Lodge to permit services for Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts. But due to an oversight, such brothers are not permitted to participate in these services." A similar motion was made to amend the requirement that all work or business of a lodge (except conferring degrees and certain trials) be done in a lodge of Master Masons. It was proposed to change the requirement to: "The lodge, at its will and pleasure, may conduct business in any of the symbolic degrees." The

Jurisprudence Committee opposed the change because "it does not address several additional issues such as voting privileges of Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts." The report of the Masonic Awareness Committee noted that each year Grand Lodge grants approximately 500 scholarships to college and university students but the Fraternity receives no acknowledgement from radio, television or the newspapers. To correct this situation, the committee announced that it intended to advertise the awards FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 205

of all recipients in the newspapers of their colleges or universities. As the Masonic

Fraternity is virtually unknown on most college campuses, it is thought that this

programme "will visibly recognize Freemasonry, its support of higher education and create a positive awareness among our younger citizens."

The Technology Committee stated it had produced videos on leadership develop-

ment and general Masonic Education. Also, it plans to work with the Ritual Committee to produce and distribute "videos of the several monitorial lectures of the degrees."

IRELAND

Quarterly Communications and St. John's Day Communication Armagh and Newry, Northern Ireland and Dublin, Republic of Ireland March, June, October and December, 1999 In his Grand Master's Speech on the occasion of St. John's Day in December, M.W. Bro. Darwin H. Templeton spoke of his delight in seeing the growth of Freemasonry in countries that had formerly been in the Soviet bloc. An instance of this was Estonia, which he had visited (in company with the Grand Secretary) in order to attend the constitution of the Grand Lodge of Estonia. There was an event during the year in Ireland which the Grand Master welcomed

most heartily, as he felt that it was a landmark for Masonry. He congratulated Masonic Havens Ltd. on the purchase of a 42 bed nursing home together with 22 acres of land

in County Cavan and that it had retained architects to produce sheltered housing on

the site. "I understand," he said, "that the local Council has shown great interest in the project which will be cross-community and should bring great credit to our Order." The Assistant Grand Master reported at the March Quarterly Communication on negotiations that had been in progress for some years to harmonize the activities of the various Masonic Charities in Northern Ireland and in the Republic that provide assistance for widows and distressed brethren. Upon being informed that these charities had agreed on a close working relationship. Grand Lodge authorized a merger of their activities and of their financial and management resources so that the rules, assessment criteria and payments of benefits might be harmonized. Bearing in mind the general spirit of relationships between institutions in the two political entities on that troubled

island, it is good to see the leadership set by the Grand Lodge of Ireland. It provided for contributions to be "deposited in a sterling account in Northern Ireland and in a punt account in the Republic of Ireland." On St. John's Day the brethren were reminded that the Grand Lodge of Ireland Website began operations on that day in 1998. It received over 15,800 "hits" during the year fi^om 83 different countries around the world. In order of descending amount of

traffic, the 23 most frequent visitors: Networks, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Organizations, Educational institutions, Jamaica, South Africa, New Zealand,

United States, Italy, Iceland, Singapore, Germany, Greece, Malaysia, France, Nether- lands, Brazil, Japan, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Mexico.

LOUISIANA 189th Annual Communication

Bossier City, Louisiana, February, 2000 270 Lodges 26,551 Members

"I am optimistic," said M.W. Bro. Ballard L. Smith in his Address to Grand Lodge, "about the future of Masonry in Louisiana. Those Lodges which worked hard in 206 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA planning a Friend to Friend Night and in inviting guests have seen the fruits of that effort. They have received petitions for the degrees. In travelling around the State, I have found that Lodges that are having open meetings and activities that include the families are growing. Some Lodges are supporting youth athletic programmes. They will see the benefit of these activities as the young people grow into adulthood and remember that Masons were involved in their communities." In referring to ways in which a lodge can reach out into the community and become favourably known, the Grand Master drew particular attention to the Honesty and Integrity Awards. This programme, he indicated, honours high school students who have practised virtues which are central to Freemasonry. These awards have been most successful in allowing young people, parents and school officials to learn more about the Craft. He encouraged lodges which are not participating in this programme to become involved. The Committee on Public Information reported on excellent newspaper and television coverage of two events in which Masons participated prominently. One was the Torch Run for the Special Olympics and the other was the opening of a Dyslexia Clinic. With respect to dyslexia, the committee reported that "six new clinics have been opened in the State and will help a lot of children, which will influence a number of parents for the good of Masonry. The Dyslexia Clinics will have a great impact in this State for the future of our Masonic Fraternity." During the past year the Louisiana Family Web Site experienced a tremendous growth in the number of visitors. According to the Internet Committee, "the Site is visible to the world and has generated many favourable comments from around the world." The committee observed, also, that many new lodges have their own home page site and several more Lodge Secretaries are contacting the Grand Secretary's Office by e-mail.

MANITOBA 125th Annual Communication Winnipeg, Manitoba, June, 2000

65 Lodges 4, 784 Members M.W. Bro. John M. Reid, in his Annual Address, asked his brethren to consider the nature of the Grand Master's position. "My question to you," he said, "is what is the duty of a Grand Master? What is his responsibility?" He examined with them the dual nature of the position. He posed two questions: "Is a Grand Master an administrative person? Is the Grand Master a ceremonial person?" His answer was simple: The Grand Master has to be both. The Grand Historian provided some background information about The Masonic Memorial Auditorium in the International Peace Garden. It was donated to the International Peace Garden by the Masons of Manitoba and North Dakota. It seats

2,000 people and is an ideal setting for concerts and other events, particularly during the music camp season. The Grand Historian saw the International Music Camp as "a living example of the many ways the people of the United States and Canada work together in developing greater understanding, closer associations and lasting firiendships between our two nations." Circulation statistics for the Grand Lodge Library were reported by the Grand Librarian: 204 loans of books were made together with loans of 6 video tapes (there were no loans of audio tapes). He was pleased to be able to inform Grand Lodge that "our Archives are now compliant with Rules for Archival Description (a standard FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 207

sorting system for archival materials)." As an experiment, the archivist decided to train

volunteers from various lodges to examine their material and catalogue it, with the

exception of an ascension number. The project is under way with two lodges participating.

The Masonic Family Awareness Committee indicated that its "mandate is to pro-

vide information on the member organizations to anyone seeking information. It is not designed to obtain new members, as that remains the responsibility of the membership

of each body." One of the specific tasks of this committee is to work with all of the appendant and concordant bodies to facilitate the circulation of information about up- coming events, with the view of making "more people aware of the event so that better attendance may be realized and to try to reduce the number of conflicting events."

MASSACHUSETTS Quarterly Communications and Stated Communication Boston, Massachusetts, March, June, September, December, 1999 283 Lodges 51,542 Members At the March Quarterly Communication, M.W. Bro. Fred K Bauer proudly announced: CHIP ADDS TOOTHPRINTS. Having toothprints on file, along with other

means of identification, is a new option to the popular CHIP (that is. Child Identifica- tion Programme). This is an extension of the work of various Masonic Awareness Committees who videotaped and fingerprinted over 30,000 children during the previous two years. The Grand Master stated that W. Bro. Dr. Harte brought to his attention the invention of a fellow dentist, of a means for making tooth bite impressions, which

can be done by local dentists or their technicians. The committee's vision is to expand

the CHIP programme to all Massachusetts school children. It is a huge project but "if we can return one lost child to his or her parents, it is worth the effort." With a view to the future strength of the Craft, cheques of $15,000 each were presented to the representatives of Massachusetts DeMolay and Rainbow Girls. The funds had been raised by voluntary contributions by Masons throughout the state. Grand Lodge was reminded at the September Quarterly Communication of the announcement in June that there would be a Social Communication in October for the purpose of holding an open dialogue on a number of possible changes. In preparation for this event, the Grand Master offered a few thoughts on change. "Yes," he said,

"changes are all around us. Some would prefer never to change. Others declare, 'don't rock the boat!' While still others yell from the rooftops 'change everything!' Somewhere in the middle is probably the right course. I like to think of the Plum Line, 'leaning neither to the right nor to the left.' But that doesn't mean remaining status quo. Even the Supreme Architect of the Universe provided for constant change." He emphasized that Masons must continually review, study and discuss new ideas, new concepts and new programmes. In that way. Masonry will do more than just keep up with the times: it will be "the fraternity of choice." The December Quarterly Communication was advised that the Special Communi- cation recommended these proposals for study: Lower the age requirement for membership to 19 years of age; Require more than one black cube to reject a candidate; Reduce the time required between degrees from 28 to 14 days. These proposals for changes in the Grand Constitution, said the Grand Master, "require your study and review with the members of your Lodge," so that delegates to Grand Lodge can debate them at the Quarterly Communication in March, 2001, and vote on them at the June Quarterly Communication. 208 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

MICHIGAN

1 74th Annual Communication

Ypsilanti, Michigan, May, 2000 388 Lodges 61,139 Members M.W. Bro. David H. Flucke gave a progress report on the steps taken to implement the decision of Grand Lodge in 1999 to "print the now authorized Michigan Masonic

Ritual out in its entirety, EXCEPT the Signs, Tokens, Grips, Words and Passes. This project, after two years of discussion, debate, flared tempers, review, corrections, review, corrections, review and more corrections has NOW BEEN COMPLETED."

The Grand Master emphasized that the "1996 edition of the 'one letter key' is, and will remain, the official ritual of this Grand Lodge. The new printed out ritual is only a supplement to that edition." One of the strategies mentioned by M.W. Bro. Rucke to reverse the decline in membership was the Masonic Festival (or the One Day Masonic Class). Although he realized that it is a very controversial programme, he maintained that experience in

Michigan, as well as in many other jurisdictions, has shown that it is "a very useful tool to attract new members who might not otherwise be able to join." He reminded his hearers that, notwithstanding a successful trial of the programme in Michigan, Grand Lodge in 1999 rejected an amendment that would have authorized continuance of one- day classes. He urged those who were opposed to the programme to reconsider their position. He stressed that "this will not replace the traditional method of joining our Craft but add another very successful tool to assist in our membership development." The Computer Committee reported that, in addition to an Electronic Version of the Michigan Masonic BLUE BOOK, it had produced a HANDHELD ELECTRONIC BLUE BOOK. The need for this resulted from the growing use of small hand-held computers. Its purpose is to give those "who need the information quick access, even when they are away from home, or visiting a local lodge."

In its report to Grand Lodge the Fraternal Relations Committee gave an overview of relations with Prince Hall Masons. In 1997 the Grand Lodge of Michigan recognized the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Michigan as a legally constituted Grand Lodge of Masons and agreed to share concurrent jurisdiction with the lodges of each Grand Lodge. Agreements, such as those concerning visitation, were adopted after discussion and agreement with the principal officers of both Grand Lodges. The Fraternal Relations Committee recommended "the application of the standards of mutual consent and/or treaty that permit multiple Grand Masonic Jurisdictions to share territor>'. When Prince Hall Grand Lodges request recognition from Michigan, we will recommend recognition only in those jurisdictions where mutual consent has already been established."

MINNESOTA 146th Annual Communication

St. Paul, Minnesota, April, 1999

1 76 Lodges 25, 085 Members

In his remarks to Grand Lodge, M.W. Bro. Charles J. Luman directly addressed the question of the survival of Freemasonry. "It is not that the survival of Masonry," he said, "depends on trying new things - the survival of Masonry lies in excitement and in men being passionate about Masonry and bringing their talents and their creativity to Freemasonry. It's that talent, excitement and creativity which cause the Fraternity to try new things. And it's that talent, excitement and creativity which will assure our FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 209

survival." He was encouraged to see that many lodges were generating excitement by establishing significant goals and by developing team work in order to achieve them, because "when men are excited and passionate about Freemasonry, they will bring their

friends and professional associates to Freemasonry and that simple act is all that is needed to assure the survival of Freemasonry." A resolution was approved by Grand Lodge which made a change in the General Regulations with respect to those who may sign a petition for initiation. The relevant Article of the Regulations previously required that a petition "shall be signed with the

full name of the petitioner and must be recommended by two (2) members of the Lodge petitioned." This was amended to stipulate that the petition "shall be signed with the full name of the petitioner and must be recommended by two Master Masons in good standing, at least one of which must be a member of the lodge petitioned and the other may be a member in good standing of a lodge recognized by this Grand Lodge."

A report was received from the committee which administered the first ONE- DAY-MASONRY event in Minnesota. Considerable work of an administrative nature was required, as evidenced by the appointment of the following sub-committees: Education, Facilities, Publicity, Ritual, Registration, Transportation/Parking, Banquet, Ladies Programme and Liaison with District Representatives. The following requirements were established by the committee: All Degrees were to be presented in full - no abbreviations; lodges will investigate candidates and vote as usual; all candidates must be registered with Grand Lodge prior to the degrees; candidates must be accompanied to the event by a lodge member; all must have a mentor appointed prior to the degrees; proper dress will be coat and tie for all participants; all candidates will be obligated on a bible presented to them at registration. The Degrees were conferred on 163 candidates, with approximately 250 Master Masons in attendance. The Entered Apprentice Degree and part of the Fellowcraft Degree were presented in the morning and, following lunch, the second part of the Fellowcraft Degree and the Master Mason Degree were conferred in the afternoon.

NETHERLANDS Annual Communication Utrecht, Kingdom of the Netherlands, June, 2000

1 77 Lodges 6, 448 Members

The Grand Master, M.W. Bro. B. Sarphati, in his Address to the Annual Communica- tion reported on the actions of the Emergent Communication in December, 1999, concerning some controversies that have disturbed the tranquillity of the Craft during the past three years. These actions have greatly assisted the Executive Committee, along with other Grand Lodge committees, in restoring harmony and in revitalizing the Order in areas where this was needed. Regarding the desire of Grand Lodge to foster greater openness regarding Masonry, M.W. Bro. Sarphati reported on the following: he had given several inter- views on radio and in the press; the Deputy Grand Master had given interviews on television; some subordinate lodges had established their own web sites; in co-operation with the Culture Masonic Centre, including Museum, Archives and Library, public exhibitions had been held in five local centres throughout the Netherlands; the Education Committee had prepared and distributed informational brochures for the public; and a leading classical orchestra had given a concert completely dedicated to the work of Masonic composers. An outstanding and truly significant achievement in 210 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

the field of Masonic openness to the public was the establishment of a Masonic Chair at the University of Leiden, endowed by the Masonic Foundation Scholarship Fund. The Grand Master announced that the Culture Masonic Centre is working on the recovery of Dutch Masonic records and other archival materials that have long been considered irretrievably lost. The Conservator of the C.N.C. had gone to Moscow twice to locate documents from the Archives of this Grand Lodge and from individual lodges. These are "documents that were taken to Berlin during the German occupation of Holland and later taken by the Red Army to Moscow." Because a recent Russian law permits the return of such materials, the governments of the Netherlands and Russia were in negotiation to establish a protocol to govern their return to Grand Lodge. M.W. Bro. Sarphati observed that the internet and e-mail have significant advantages but they bring dangers also. They can cause misunderstandings by spreading speculations and gossip: it must be remembered that the Grand Secretary is the only proper source of information concerning the Order. Certain malevolent persons who knew the rituals did publish them on the internet and threatened to publish

membership lists on their web sites but both problems were corrected by legal action

by Grand Lodge. "It is disappointing," the Grand Master commented, "to realize that the information placed on the internet probably (or most likely) came firom one or more past members of the Order."

NEVADA 135th Annual Communication Reno, Nevada, November, 1999 43 Lodges 5,360 Members

"In my opinion the pendulum of Masonic momentum is starting to swing back," said M.W. Bro. David J. Guinan in his Grand Master's Message, "toward greater interest, membership and participation. It was very encouraging to see the number of Entered Apprentices and Fellowcrafts who were actively participating in Lodge meetings; our practice of holding our stated communications on the First Degree has had the salutary effect of encouraging active participation from these young Masons." The Grand Master commented on another factor which, in his view, explained why certain lodges were being more successful than some others. "It was also encouraging," he observed, "to see that lodges are experiencing a new surge in degree work and that those same lodges are beginning to take an active part in the community in which they are located. Those lodges which are doing best are those lodges which are busy in lodge and community affairs and in which the Past Masters are actively teaching the young officers."

Of all the accomplishments of his year as Grand Master, the one which M.W. Bro. Guinan indicated gave him most pleasure was the establishment of the Grand Lodge Web Site. The report of the Internet Committee reviewed the extent of its use by both Masons and non-Masons. In addition, the committee outlined the steps in the establishment of the Web Site, from the beginning, in 1997, to the climax when the Grand Master presents to the Chairman of the Internet Committee "his official Grand WebMason's Apron and officially names him as the Grand WebMason."

NEW BRUNSWICK 133rd Annual Communication Saint John, New Brunswick, May, 2000 51 Lodges 5,011 Members

In his Address to Grand Lodge, M.W. Bro. James Hubert Pike reminded his brethren of the three themes which he had emphasized during the year: Masonic Renewal, the Friend to Friend Programme and Camp Goodtime. Although not new, these activities are very important, indeed at the present time they may be regarded as necessary. He stated that some lodges are using the Friend to Friend Programme with considerable success and their numbers are increasing. There are many ways that this programme "can be used to let the world know who and what we are." However, the Grand Master sounded this note of caution: "Always keep in mind, we are looking for QUALITY and not QUANTITY."

The Masonic Renewal Committee reported on its efforts to make the concepts of renewal better known by the membership. The chairman gave seminars around the province, a minimum of two in each district. Because of the perception of complexity in the concept of renewal and in its implementation the attendance at these seminars was disappointing. Those who were able to attend, however, rep>orted that the lectures had been very helpful. The committee reported that it is trying "to break the seminars down into twenty-minute segments or modules that could be presented at lodge meetings without too much inconvenience. The first of these modules are already in the proof-reading stage and should be available soon. It is unfortunate that this method is so slow at getting the information to the lodges, but better slow than not at all.

However, the process of decline will not stand still while we take time to learn how to combat it. If the Masons of New Brunswick want a strong, vibrant and healthy organization to belong to, then they must begin to put some serious effort into it."

The Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. J. Ralph Andrews advised Grand Lodge that he had prepared a Manual for Lodge Secretaries designed to help them in their duties. He reminded the Secretaries that they have an important role in assisting their Worshipful Masters in implementing Masonic Renewal. "Masonic Renewal," the Grand

Secretary said, "is at a point where it must be put into practice in each lodge." Lodges that are implementing the programme, he stated, are finding that it does work. M.W. Bro. Andrews expressed his disappointment that a misinformed member of a New Brunswick lodge is writing letters in which he quotes scripture and compares Masonry to a religion. "One has only to look back at Ireland and Waco, Texas," he observed," to realize what horrible things can happen as a result of religious extremism."

NEW HAMPSHIRE Semiannual Communication and 211th Annual Communication Manchester, New Hampshire, November, 1999 and May, 2000 74 Lodges 9,096 Members

The Unity Committee reported at the Semiannual Communication that it had met on a number of occasions during the year "to establish a Calendar of Events with every effort to avoid conflicts and to promote mutual support for the various activities of each group." The committee includes in its activities not only representatives of all the Appendant Bodies but also, with an eye to the future, young adults from the Order of DeMolay and the Order of Rainbow Girls. 212 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

The Semiannual Communication received a report, as well, from the Data

Processing Committee in which it explained several details of a technical nature with respect to electronic communications and gave the e-mail address of Grand Lodge. Alluding to a problem inherent in the use of the internet, the committee announced that a privacy policy is being prepared concerning the records of Grand Lodge and access to them. "While not wanting to be EXTREME" the committee stated, "we do want to make sure the privacy of our members is and remains intact. As a general rule Grand Lodge does not Sell/Provide database information to others who are not performing business directly related to functions of Grand Lodge." The committee added that occasionally Grand Lodge is asked to provide Masonic information to relatives of a deceased member in order to establish a connection with Masonry. The committee gave assurance that "this policy will still be allowed." M.W. Bro. Richard R. Schanda, in his Address to the Annual Communication, spoke of those events of which he is most proud. These included happy visits to Rainbow Assemblies and DeMolay Chapters and the "apparent surge of petitions and degree work state wide." In addition to the success of the One Day Class sponsored by Grand Lodge, the Grand Master commented on the very successful Shrine/Scottish Rite One Day Class or SCOTTISH RITE AND SHRINE IN A DAY programme. It was, he pointed out, an example of "how unity can produce great results."

NEW MEXICO 123rd Annual Communication Las Cruces, New Mexico, March, 2000 64 Lodges 7,498 Members

In reporting on the state of the Craft, M.W. Bro. Fred C. Webb expressed his pleasure that all the lodges around the State of New Mexico seemed to be doing better than in previous years. He was especially proud of those lodges that were working "to get young new members into our Fraternity and active in their local Lodges." To this end, the Grand Master made a formal Recommendation that the Code of the Grand Lodge

By-Laws requiring lodges to conduct all business (with certain specified exceptions) in the Third Degree, be changed so that "Entered Apprentices and Fellow Craft Masons could attend and get interested in how their lodge worked and enjoy the fellowship of their Brethren." The Grand Master recommended that the relevant Code be revised as follows: "The business of the lodge may be transacted while the lodge is at labour on the Entered Apprentice or Fellow Craft degree provided there be an Entered Apprentice or Fellow Craft present. Entered Apprentices or Fellow Crafts may participate in discussion but are not permitted to vote." In moving the adoption of the Grand Master's recommendation (which was duly approved by Grand Lodge), the Chairman of the Committee on Jurisprudence stressed that the change was permissive. "In other words," he stated, "your lodge may open on a lower degree to conduct business, or if the lodge does not desire to do this, they simply do not have to do so."

The Committee on Long Range Planning was of the opinion that it is imperative that the leadership of every lodge be able to communicate to its local community the true nature and characteristics of Freemasonry. The committee recommended, therefore, that training in public relations be included in the current training programme for Senior and Junior Wardens. Another recommendation of the Committee on Long Range Planning was that "Mission statements be developed for the various committees of the Grand Lodge. The FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 213

formulation of these statements will enable current and future Grand Lodge officers and their committees to have a better understanding of their purpose and duties."

The Committee on Youth reported that it had recommended to the Grand Master that the following Mission Statement approved for the committee: (1) To provide institutional aid to the Masonic Youth Organizations in New Mexico; (2) To increase the participation of individual Masons in Youth activities; (3) To enlist Masons in the recruitment of youth members. The committee is holding discussions concerning activity days sponsored by local lodges, to provide fellowship, fun and food to youth groups. The committee expressed its thanks "to the many members that give so freely of their time, money and love to help these youth become adults."

NEW ZEALAND 111th Annual Communication Wellington, New Zealand, November, 2000 321 Lodges 14,335 Members The President of the Board of Benevolence referred to a survey which revealed that over half of all grants went to one Masonic District. An investigation of practices in that district disclosed "that they had a very large catchment which related to a number of other outside institutions, such as schools, churches, other benevolent organizations,

District Nurses and so on; it had become known in that district that the Freemasons were keen to exhibit benevolence to both Masonic and non-Masonic people." The climax of the Communication was the Installation of the Grand Master-elect by M.W. Bro. J. Michael Pope as the final official duty of his two years as Grand Master. In his Address following his Installation as Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Ian R. Ross told members of Grand Lodge that the Craft faced a very serious challenge - a challenge, in fact, to its very existence. The easy response, he said, is to ignore it and wait for it to pass away. He maintained that this is not an option: "The challenge must be faced. Not to be defeated but to be embraced." Masons, he reminded his hearers, have been asking themselves for years what can be done about the decline in membership. It was the Grand Master's view that this is not the critical question: What should be asked is WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? "Unless we know why," he maintained, "We can't begin to develop an answer to the WHAT CAN WE DO question. Is Freemasonry irrelevant in this new age? I wonder; is that the problem? Is our moral base no longer appropriate? Are we too old-fashioned? We probably are. Are we misunderstood by the people of this new century? I believe we are." He strongly disagreed with the idea that Masonry must be more relevant for today's world. "We don't have to make Masonry relevant. It is. We have to make

Masonry visible and it isn't. And it's worse than invisible. It's grossly misunderstood.

That's the problem. And it's our own making. When people don't know or understand something, they fill the gap with mystery or their own interpretations." He stressed that instead of creating a certain mystique to give an aura of specialness. Masonry must change to foster openness. He emphasized that he was not talking of fundamental change: "The principles we support can, and should, remain unchanged. It's our expression of them that must continually adjust to the society and time in which we live. We find ourselves today in a society that no longer understands the relevance of Freemasonry. People today no longer understand what we are and what we stand for. We need our works, our function, our relevance, to be known, to be seen and understood in the new millennium. We need to be visible. I am convinced that we need to be seen and understood far more openly by the population at large." 214 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

NOVA SCOTIA 135th Annual Communication Truro, Nova Scotia, June, 2000

110 Lodges 6, 71 2 Members In addressing the Annual Communication, M.W. Bro. Lloyd Blagdon spoke of the need for Freemasonry to keep abreast of the multitude of changes taking place in society. "We are the Masons," he told them, "who have weathered the tidal waves of intellectual beliefs and attitudes that have sometimes caused havoc in our society, sometimes washing away the sediment of the past, allowing for new understanding and the transfiguration of attitudes and beliefs. We are aware that some of these changes have produced stress, tension and unrest. Let us reflect on what has happened and press forward, emulating the good and amending what has appjeared defective." His advice on how to face the new century was simple: LEARN FROM THE PAST, DON'T LT^E IN IT The Grand Master closed his remarks with a bit of salty wisdom retained from his time in the Royal Canadian Navy, which he applied to the governance of the Craft: WE CANNOT CHANGE THE WINDS, BUT WE CAN ADJUST OUR SAILS. The Treasurer of the Masonic Foundation stated in his report, "The principal programme costs continue to be the Scholarship Programme and the assistance provided the Big Brothers/Sisters in the School Monitoring Programme. Funds were also provided for three programmes undertaken by lodges in the Jurisdiction. These programmes are undertaken by the lodges to meet a community need, with the lodge providing 50% of the funding and the Foundation providing the other 50%." An encouraging report was given on behalf of the Nova Scotia Freemasons

Scholarship Programme: "Our Programme each year is getting better and our outlook

is that this trend will continue." The report continued with a statement of the two principal objectives of the Masonic Scholarship Programme: First Objective. "In keeping with the Masonic Mission to practice charity, to provide financial assistance to worthy grade twelve graduating students who will pursue a post secondary education leading to a degree from an approved institution in Atlantic Canada, or a diploma or certificate from a Community College in Nova Scotia." Second Objective. "To raise the public profile of the Masonic Fraternity in particular among the young adult population from whom our future membership will

come. The Programme is designed to encourage Lodges or Districts to establish a Scholarship Programme in their own local community."

OHIO 190th Annual Convnunication Columbus, Ohio, October, 1999 592 Lodges 138,389 Members M.W. Bro. Douglas O. Brenneman related an anecdote explaining his choice of a theme for his year. When the Grand Master of 1993 chose him to be Junior Grand Deacon he realized that he must think of a theme to be a focus for the Craft during

his year as Grand Master. It was at that time that these words came to his mind: FREEDOM, FAMILY, FREEMASONRY: A COMMITMENT FOR THE FUTURE. They remained the standard by which he measured all of his official acts. Masonic educators in Ohio received some unusual resource materials when the Grand Master "commissioned Compco Communications to develop video tap)es for FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 215

each of the (3) Masonic Lectures. At present the E.A. and F.C. have been completed." The tape for use with the Third Degree was reported to be nearing completion. The Grand Secretary was instructed by M.W. Bro. Brenneman to send to the Secretary of every lodge "a list of Entered Apprentices and Fellowcrafts that his records showed as not having returned to complete their proficiency. Some of these went back more than ten years. Along with the lists sent to the secretaries was a letter informing

the lodges that we wanted them to purge these lists and return to us a list of brethren that they felt were viable candidates, but somehow had gotten lost in the shuffle or needed some special attention if they were going to complete their Masonic work." To those whom the lodges identified as viable candidates, the Grand Master sent a personal letter, "inquiring whether the brother wanted to continue or not continue with

his Masonic work. And if not, why? We listed the following options: (a) work related;

(b) religious; (c) not what I expected; (d) memorization too much; (e) no interest shown by the lodge; and (f) other." The Grand Lodge Youth Organizations Committee reported that DeMolay continues to be strong in Ohio and both Jobs Daughters and Rainbow are doing well.

Notwithstanding these successes there is a continuing need for Master Masons to give

of their time and talent to assist youth groups. "While everyone is busy in today's world, a few hours a month to help keep a good young person heading in the right

direction should be a priority," the committee maintained. "The young people in your community must be made aware of the moral lessons these groups teach. The lessons learned in their youth can guide them for a lifetime. Young men and women who are helped, advised, mentored if you will by Masons, gain a favourable impression of the Fraternity that carries into their adult years." The report closed with this admonition: "The key to Masonry's future lies in the way we treat the teens of today. If we ignore them, we could be extinct in a few short years. If we nurture them, we can once again grow in numbers and standing." OKLAHOMA 91st Annual Communication Guthrie, Oklahoma, November, 1999 261 Lodges 36,440 Members

The Grand Master found it difficult to assess the state of the Craft because of glaring contradictions in conditions and attitudes between lodges. "This year," said M.W. Bro.

William C. Clure, "I have seen dormant lodges come to life. They have started working with schools, partnering with other organizations and helping their members find a home somewhere in our Masonic family." But, he indicated, on the other hand, he sometimes receives a distress call from a Worshipful Master who recites at length the many problems which his lodge faces and which the officers of that lodge fear will

result in the death of the lodge. The Grand Master added that when he asked if the lodge had taken advantage of any of the more than thirty Grand Lodge programmes

designed to assist lodges experiencing difficulties, the answer invariably is "No." This led

him to come to the conclusion that "The problem is not with Masonry; it is with the brothers. Each of us needs to realize that we cannot do what needs to be done by

ourselves. It is no sin to ask for help. It is a sin to sit on your backside and do nothing while waiting for the door to close on your lodge for the last time." A motion was introduced (but rejected by Grand Lodge) to amend the Section of the Oklahoma Uniform Code which stipulates that "All business except the examination 216 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA of candidates, voting on their proficiency, conferring degrees and the trial of Entered Apprentices and Fellowcrafts shall be done in a lodge of Master Masons." The proposed amendment was: "The business of the lodge may be conducted in a lodge of Master Masons, Fellowcafts or Entered Apprentices at the discretion of the Worshipful Master." Voting, however, would still be restricted to Master Masons, except in certain circumstances. In the preamble to the Motion, the following reasons were given for the proposed change: (a) It is in the best interests of the lodge for newly initiated and passed brethren to take an early interest in the affairs of their lodge; (b) Friendships in the lodge are best formed during activity in the lodge; (c) In ancient times, business was normally conducted in a Lodge of Entered Apprentices; (d) Most international jurisdictions and many States in the United States conduct business in the Entered Apprentice degree and gain much benefit from the practice. OREGON 149th Annual Communication Grants Pass, Oregon, June, 1999 149 Lodges 15,717 Members The condition of the Craft, M.W. Bro. Richard E. Surroz said in his Message, "if described in one four-letter word, could easily be characterized by the word 'aged.' Aged denotes many good qualities: maturity, wisdom, patience and perseverance are some that come to mind immediately. However, aged also implies a condition in time when growth and development slow." The result of his assessment of the condition of the Craft, he said, was that he decided to make membership the predominant thrust of the programme in his year as Grand Master. An interesting variation of the ALL THE WAY IN A ZMY programme currently in operation in several jurisdictions, is what the Grand Master called TWO IN ONE DAYDEGREE CLASSES. This programme was created by M.W. Bro. Surroz in order to assist Entered Apprentices who had not advanced for a long period of time, sometimes a decade or more. It "gives an E.A. the option of advancing to the level of Master Mason in one day, in a special day of degree exemplifications and education. The Grand Master makes the candidates Master Masons at sight near the beginning of the day, thereby avoiding code conflicts," as he has that power under the Constitu- tion. After the activities of the day, during which the candidate must be accompanied by a mentor from his lodge, he returns to his own lodge for coaching instruction to prepare him for the mandatory Master Mason proficiency examination within six months. The Grand Master announced that, after the recognition by the Grand Lodge of Oregon of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Oregon, there have been several visits between lodges of the two jurisdictions and he had attended the Prince Hall Annual Communication. M.W. Bro. Surroz stated that he had been aware of the schism in fraternal relations between Oregon and Idaho because of the Prince Hail jurisdictional problem in 199L However, he had formed a personal rapport with the Grand Master of Idaho, from whom he learned that there was a desire in Idaho to heal the schism. He had arranged a meeting, therefore, between the officers of the two Grand Lodges. His objective was to elicit an apology, or regrets, to M.W. Bro. Ivan Rinck, the Grand Master of Oregon in 1991-92, "for the actions and events that created the fraternal relationship schism and to restore Grand Lodge visitations between the two juris- dictions. The objective was accomplished after very forthright and sensitive discussion FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 217 of the matter by all concerned and was commemorated with a written document. The contingent stayed to attend the Idaho Grand Lodge Communication - the first time since September, 1991, and was treated well as distinguished guests by all Idahoans present."

PENNSYLVANIA Quarterly Communications Philadelphia and Pittsburg Pennsylvania, June, September and December, 1999 Annual Grand Communication, Hershey, Pennsylvania, December, 1999 484 Lodges 144,682 Members The Grand Master, R.W. Bro. James L. Ernette, stated at the June Quarterly Communication that "the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania is the premier Masonic Web Site available today." By the September Quarterly Communication, however, the chairman of the Committee on Internet Services was able to go beyond that. "Since our report in June," he informed Grand Lodge, "the most comprehensive Grand Lodge Web Site in the world has become bigger, better and easier to use. Just ask any of the

80,000 different visitors who have logged on to the site since it accepted the first knock on the door in February of 1998." At the December Quarterly Communication the Committee on Internet Services advised Grand Lodge that specific guidelines had been posted for lodges to follow when developing their own web sites. The chairman of the committee stated that "These guidelines are not restrictive and provide a lot of latitude for creative programmes of the officers, but they do establish perimeters to preserve the dignity of the Fraternity and the privacy of our Members." The committee observed that the Online Gift Shop has served over 443 customers, providing them with over $22,000 worth of merchandise. The committee reported that it had "recently completed a major revision of the Online Circulating Library to make it much easier to request a book.

Try it - you will find it easy and safe to use, and there is a wealth of fine texts and audio-visual materials just a mouse click away." In his Inaugural Address, outlining his programme for the coming year, the Right Worshipful Grand Master, R.W. Bro. Robert L. Dluge, referred to an innovative project which has interesting international implications. Expressions of interest have been received from Grand Lodges in Spain, France, Greece, Germany and Brazil, indicating a willingness to participate in a Masonic Student Exchange programme, both for summer vacations and for the entire school year. "What better family," R.W. Bro. Dluge asked members of Grand Lodge, "to entrust your child or grandchild to than to other Masons worldwide?" The Grand Master announced another programme dealing with young people. A request will be made to the Children's Foundation to participate in a programme to help identify and deal with juvenile fire starters. The Pennsylvania Fire Commissioner, the State Police and the Pennsylvania Department of Education will be asked to consider this matter similar to that of the Student Assistance Programme, which Grand Lodge currently sponsors.

PHILIPPINES 83rd Annual Communication

General Santos City, Philippines, April, 1999 278 Lodges 15,180 Members

Acknowledging in his Grand Master's Report that he had the honour of being Grand 218 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

Master during the Centennial of the Republic of the Philippines, M.W. Bro. Enrique

L. Locsin stated that it was appropriate for him to have a programme of activities designed to involve every lodge in recognizing the importance of Masonry in the history of the country. He quoted Bro. Emilio Famy Aguinaldo, the first President of the Republic, who said, "The successful revolution of 1896 was Masonically inspired, Masonically led and Masonically executed, and I venture to say the first Philippine

Republic, of which I was its humble President, was an achievement that we owe largely to Masonry and Masons." Accordingly, he chose an historical theme for his year: MASONRY: CRADLE OF HEROES AND BUILDER OF NATIONS. M.W. Bro. Loscin spoke of a number of projects recognizing the Centennial which were undertaken by individual lodges but he was particularly pleased with the construction of the Centennial Clock at the Luneta across Roxas Boulevard opposite the Rizal Monument, which is to commemorate one hundred years of independence from foreign rule. "The Monument," he said, "will be triangular in shape with a height of two stories. And on each side of the triangular structure will be installed a clock whose diameter is one meter wide. The clock is powered by solar energy under satellite control. This will be the most accurate time piece in the country. The project is a joint undertaking between the Bulova Watch Corporation of Switzerland and Dapitan Lodge, No. 21, F. & A.M." The cost of the project was given as P3,000,000, excluding the three clocks donated by Bulova at a cost of US$ 54,000. The Grand Master expressed his thanks for the support given to the various programmes which Grand Lodge had initiated: 1. Year Round Programme. Environ- mental projects: tree planting, watershed preservation, waste disposal and shoreline policing by many lodges, helped by DeMolay, Job's Daughters and Rainbow Girls. 2. Monthly Programmes. Months were dedicated to specific subjects, such as youth development, community extension, Inter-Faith, international, family, performance review and Grand Lodge. 3. Help for those in need. Shipped 200 sacks of rice for victims of El Nino; sent relief and medical assistance worth P300,000 to victims of typhoons Llyang and Loleng in Isabela, Cagayan and Catanduanes; gave financial and medical help to eight individuals.

A directive sent to all lodges required that the Grand Lodge hymn be sung on all occasions. Because "the hymn is an effective vehicle of arousing the spirit of unity among the brethren, it is imperative that all members commit its lyrics to memory."

Everyone must memorize it entirely and sing it from the heart spontaneously.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND 125th Annual Communication Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, June, 2000

1 7 Lodges 1, 025 Members Looking back over the previous year with a sense of modest accomplishment, M.W. Bro. Donald B. Judson recalled that his theme for an anniversary year had been "to appropriately recognize 220 years of Freemasonry in Prince Edward Island, 125 years of Grand Lodge independence, and the imprint on the fabric of the province of the various constituent, concordant and companion bodies." Openness by the Craft, in the Grand Master's judgement, brought benefits during the past year and would increasingly be the key to success in the future. "Our Fraternity is highly respected generally," he said, "but we must always try to enhance that reputation by raising our profile even further in each community." Regarding the problem of declining membership and the various proposals to FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 219

remedy it, M.W. Bro. Judson stated that the structure of Freemasonry and its tenets and landmarks had remained unchanged for centuries. He felt that the problems, and therefore the solutions, were more sociological than structural. Lodge meeting programmes, he stated, must be more enjoyable and rewarding and they must return to "greater involvement in local community activities. Our share of membership drawn from the community at large depends on our image; what we outwardly appear to be doing for humanity collectively; and whether we are seen as providing good value and satisfaction." The Committee on the Condition of the Order remarked that the Craft in Prince Edward Island was enjoying relative calm, though elsewhere in North America "subjects such as drawing Shrine members directly from Craft Lodges and one-day schools for pumping large groups of candidates through multiple degrees in the shortest possible time" were disturbing the tranquillity of the Fraternity. The committee said that the Masonic peace which they were enjoying would prevail only as long as brother love remained in their hearts and guided their words and actions.

The Committee on Public Relations reported that it had undertaken no new publicity initiatives during the year and no requests for financial assistance had been received from lodges. However, on the recommendation of the committee, M.W. Bro. Judson made the following presentation to the Aldridge Atlantic Conference of Grand Masters on behalf of the Grand Lodge of Prince Edward Island: "The three Maritime or, indeed, the four Atlantic Grand Lodges develop a professional Masonic T.V. commercial to be aired in this region and be financially supported by these Jurisdic- tions." The committee reported that the request for the support of the other Jurisdictions was well received.

QUEBEC 130th Annual Communication Montreal, Province of Quebec, June, 2000

86 Lodges 5, 743 Members

"During my term so far," said M.W. Bro. C. Douglas McLean in his Annual Address,

"I have been trying to impress on our members that Freemasonry is not confined to

the tyled lodge. It is a way of life; we must be a good husband, father, son, neighbour and citizen." The Grand Master was particularly pleased with the number of community events in which lodges are participating, thereby making themselves more visible to the general public. The Grand Secretary gave a note of caution regarding visitors, which concerns not only Quebec Masons but those in other jurisdictions, as well. He reported that the request for recognition of La Grande Loge de France was turned down by the Commission for Recognition of the North American Conference of Grand Secretaries and, therefore, "La Grande Loge National Francaise remains the only regular Grand Lodge in France and brethren are admonished to exercise caution when encountering 'masons' from France."

The Committee on the State of Masonry highlighted in its report that it brought

Good News and Masonic Encouragement. It stated that many lodges in the jurisdiction, "are very active and attract new young members and are also very visible within charitable organizations in their local area, as well as in civic and community

projects. It is pleasing to see open lodges for ladies and especially visitors by having art shows, musical shows, etc. outside and by setting up information booths in some

districts."

The Committee on History and Research observed that it had "a somewhat frustra- 220 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ting year." Part of the problem was the chairman's health but as this was improving, there was "hope for more activity in the year ahead." Regarding the library, however, the committee was unable to see any grounds for hope. Although it stated that the library continues to exist principally in name only, the committee was careful to place no blame on the librarian, W. Bro. Andrew Degian, for the situation: "With the best will in the world, which he possess in abundance, the librarian cannot function in the total absence of any funding from Grand Lodge."

Its principal project during the past year, as seen by the Communications Committee, was to promote tours of the Masonic Memorial Temple by the public. Publicity was achieved by coverage of events in the media and also by telephone calls. The committee reported that "notices of tours appeared in newspapers and on radio and television to the extent that, according to the tour guides, attendance was noticeably increased. This was a successful public relations project." QUEENSLAND Annual Proclamation and Quarterly Communications Brisbane and Gympie, Queensland

July, September and December, 1999, March and June, 2000 373 Lodges 15,61 7 Members M.W. Bro. Emmanuel Anthony, in his Address on his Proclamation as Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of Queensland in July, 1999, said, "Freemasons today must be seen as integral parts of the communities in which they live. Only then will they be recognized as belonging to a purposeful and progressive organization, whose membership is supportive of State and National Institutions and dedicated to the welfare of others." He stated his conviction that, in order to remain viable. Masons must be prepared to promote and market that which they hold so very dear. At the September Quarterly Communication, the Grand Master spoke of the importance of brethren who are expert ritualists, assisting young members to improve their ritual by encouraging them with praise, rather than discouraging them with harsh criticism. "Be wary," he warned, "of creating masonic thought police, well-intentioned but pedantic brethren who, quite often because of misguided enthusiasm, neglect both the principles and the people through which our fraternity will prosper. Freemasonry must never stifle initiative or daunt individual spirit." The Geriatric Medical Foundation of Queensland reported at the September

Quarterly Communication that it had a very successful year. It had been able to give generous financial support to the Parkinson's Disease Project, as well as fully funding the Masonic Chair of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Queensland. At the March Quarterly Communication, M.W. Bro. Anthony related that, on the occasion recently of the consecration of a new lodge, he had said, "Freemasonry can be likened to any solid building; not only must it provide for those within it, it must also be aesthetically pleasing to those looking from the outside."

It was reported that the president and two members of the Board of General Purposes had recently travelled some 2,500 kms through western Queensland. During

the course of their lodge visits, they observed that the partnership with the Leukaemia Foundation was being well received. In this connection, the Grand Master stated that

it gave him "much pleasure to proudly acknowledge the support (through donations, contributions and countless hours of voluntary work) continually being received from many sectors of our extended Masonic Family." He especially applauded the work of FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 221

the ladies in raising $6,500 for the treatment of children with leukaemia. "It is an

indisputable fact," M.W. Bro. Anthony added, "that community involvement is directly linked to the perceptions that people have of Freemasonry."

SASKATCHEWAN 94th Annual Communication Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, June 2000 80 Lodges 5,129 Members The importance of co-operation among the branches of the Masonic Family was discussed by M.W. Bro. Barry W. Dixon in his Address to Grand Lodge. He spoke of

a joint meeting of all concordant Masonic bodies in Saskatchewan, which was well attended. He considered that the discussion was frank and revealed many areas of

mutual concern. It was his hope that the Masons of Saskatchewan will heed the

concerns expressed at that meeting and that all Masonic bodies in the province will work closely with each other. The Grand Master expressed the opinion that assistance to Masonic youth programmes benefits both the organizations being helped and the Fraternity in general. He congratulated those brethren who had worked diligently to revive DeMolay Chapters in North Battleford, Saskatoon and Regina. He stated that he had attended functions of Job's Daughters on several occasions and had benefited from conversa- tions with both the Supreme Grand Guardian of Job's Daughters and the Associate Grand Guardian. The latter drew his attention to some current research which showed that those jurisdictions of Freemasonry in North America where there are actual

increases in membership all have active youth groups. The Grand Master asked if this

is a coincidence. His answer was, "I think not! Brethren, I urge you, whenever and where ever possible, to grab your regalia and get out to support our youth by attending their meetings." In this connection, the Grand Secretary reported that the Masonic Youth Leadership Camp had been reinstituted and the number of inquiries and requests for applications had been heartwarming. The Committee on Masonic Education and Research indicated that the Grand

Lodge Library is continuing to serve the needs of members from its locations at Regina and Saskatoon. Also, the establishment of the Grand Lodge Web Site and the opportunity to e-mail the Grand Lodge Office will be a great help to members in

researching topics of Masonic interest. The committee proposed that it should explore

additional v.'ays to utilize the internet to assist brethren to increase their Masonic knowledge. With an eye to records from the past to complement futuristic electronic communication, the committee commented, "Lodges are also encouraged to ensure that their lodge records are properly stored and preserved. The Saskatchewan Archives Board, as well as local libraries, can offer advice and assistance in this regard."

SCOTLAND Quarterly Communications and Annual Communication Edinburgh, Scotland, November, 1999, February, May and August, 2000 659 Lodges in Scotland and 497 Lodges Overseas M.W. Bro. Archibald D. Orr Ewing was installed as the Most Worshipful Grand Master Mason of Scotland at the Annual Communication in November, 1999. He thanked Grand Lodge, on behalf of himself and the other Grand Lodge Officers, for the trust placed in them. In this connection, he gave the members of Grand Lodge 222 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA some good advice. "We will work hard and effectively to justify that trust," he told them, "but we will also make time to enjoy our Freemasonry in the way it should be enjoyed. Freemasonry has a serious purpose and high moral values but humour, happiness and the sheer joy of enduring friendships are all part of it." In the evening of that day, at the Festival of St. Andrew, the Grand Master Mason expanded on the theme of keeping Masonry enjoyable. He proposed three initiatives for the Scottish Craft to consider:

r' - "Emphasize the importance of the new candidate in the Lodge. Enrich the role of the candidate by providing the support and knowledge of the Craft." 2"^ - "Suggest ways of making Freemasonry more fun: various alternatives to the 1,

2, 3, Degree routine to stimulate more interest. Put the sparkle back into Free- masonry." 3rd ."Reduce the Secrecy role except where Secrecy is strictly required. These days everything has to be Open and above board. Open Government, Freedom of Information. These are the 'Buzzwords' today." M.W. Bro. Orr Ewing reminded his hearers that the Report of the Working Party on Masonic Education also stressed the need for Freemasonry to be open and enjoyable. Recognizing the importance to the individual Mason of the support of his family, the report proposed more involvement of families with social events designed to include them as well as lectures and discussions on what Masons do, with emphasis on Masonic roles in charity and benevolence.

SOUTH CAROLINA 263rd Annual Communication Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, April, 2000 329 Lodges 51,851 Members In speaking about the state of the Craft, M.W. Bro. Gilbert L. Martin commented on encouraging signs which he had observed. "In a nutshell," he reported, "I believe that the state of the Craft in South Carolina to be good. Many designs were placed on the Trestle Board in the last year for the Craft to consider and decide whether to follow them or not. Many were endorsed by the Craft and significant progress towards

completion has been made." On the other hand, he found it discouraging to see another decline in membership during the year. He was particularly sad that several

had left the Fraternity because of nonpayment of dues. "I cannot fathom," he said,

"why a brother allows this to happen. I urge every Worshipful Master, every Lodge Secretary, every brother to go the extra mile in trying to eliminate NPD's." The Grand Master reported that there had been instances of Masonic offenses having been committed and those concerned being subject to disciplinary action. He

argued that, though this is unfortunate, "it is a part of our Fraternity. We have an obligation to police ourselves in order to maintain the reputation and integrity of our Fraternity." The Special Committee on the Establishment of a Grand Lodge Web Site began

its Report with the statement that the computer is a vital part of modern communica-

tion and recording keeping. It was for that reason, the committee said, that the Grand Master had initiated action leading to the "establishment of a Web Site for this

Jurisdiction as the 'official' site giving the history, officers, current events and other pertinent data concerning the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Masons of South

Carolina." The committee reported that it had purchased a Web Page name, that it had selected a name (SCGrandLodgeAFM), that the name is registered and that it is FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 223

available for use when the site is established.

The Report of the South Carolina Masonic Research Society indicated that its membership was concentrated in urban areas of the State but "approximately 12% of our members are associates who follow our work with interest from as far away as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and South America." Although South Carolina had been the home in the past of renowned Masonic scholars and historians, the committee had an encouraging word for Masonic writers of today: "We don't always have to choose someone or something great from the 18th or 19th centuries, as subjects for our research efforts. You are writing history when you record the Masonic career of a living person and your work will, in general, be far more complete and

factual than it is when we try to reconstruct the story of a long deceased brother." SOUTH DAKOTA 125th Annual Communication

Rapid City, South Dakota, June, 1999 103 Lodges 7,903 Members As seen by M.W. Bro. Kenneth M. Ireland, one measure of the strength of the Craft

is the strong suppx^rt given to Grand Lodge charities. One of these, which he called his

"personal project," is the Great Strides Fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis Research. Individual lodges hold special events to raise money for the cause. He stated that a

total of $23,184.01 had been received to date, with funds still being contributed. The other charitable enterprise, which the Grand Master mentioned in his Annual

Report, is the Grand Lodge Masonic Student Assistance Programme. This project, which was first developed in Pennsylvania in 1984, was introduced in South Dakota in January, 1999, with a seminar organized by the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Committee, which administers the project on behalf of Grand Lodge. He reported that he had received letters from two teachers who said that the training they had received at the seminar had helped them to make a difference in the lives of some children. The

Grand Master's reaction was, "This is Masonry in Action!"

In its report, the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Committee described in some detail the aims and procedures of the Grand Lodge Masonic Student Assistance Programme.

The aim of the three day seminar, it stated, was to teach educators and general school personnel how to identify the troubled children early and then, in co-operation with team members, to start them back to productive and satisfying lives. The emphasis of the course is that intervention is not an event, but a process and that the immediate need is to start the process without delay. The committee stated that participants in the workshop learn about chemical dependency, depression and suicide, children from families in pain, and delinquent behaviours. Also, they learn about co-dependency, family dynamics, treatment, recovery and after care. One workshop costs Grand Lodge about $22,000, which the committee considered a reasonable expense to save children, though it added, "the need for continual donations is apparent." Another activity under the supervision of the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Committee is the Addictive Diseases Team. The committee gave this description of the project.

"This team is ready, willing and very able to assist Blue Lodges with any requested help concerning public information, private counselling and professional referrals concerning addictive diseases. The diseases include drugs, alcohol, gambling, sexual emphasis and depression, among others." Because of the need to avoid publicity in this aspect of its work, the committee feels that its services have not been fully used. 224 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

TENNESSEE 186th Annual Communication Nashville, Tennessee, March, 2000 364 Lodges 64,991 Members

In his Report as Grand Master, M.W. Bro. John Vincent spoke of the state of the

Craft in Tennessee with pride for its present condition and with confidence in its future. He was proud of its present unity of purpose and endeavour. Masonry in

Tennessee "is alive and well and is doing better each day," the Grand Master told Grand Lodge, "because of the way we live and act where we are. We are never alone, we walk and work together." M.W. Bro. Vincent's confidence in the future was founded on his good opinion of his Brethren. "I am convinced," he said, "that the membership is willing and ready for the work of Masonry. They are eager to learn the real meaning of Masonry." The Masonic Education Committee informed Grand Lodge that a "text book" for use with and by candidates in each degree had been prepared. The manuscript is currently in the hands of the Grand Secretary and, hopefully, will be printed without delay and be available for distribution to the lodges. Concerning the nature of the ritual the committee considered it to be "a vehicle through which moral lessons are taught. We do a good job at keeping the vehicle in trim condition." The committee warned, however, that for those lessons to be learned and applied. "We need to help the candidate decide for himself the meaning of these moral lessons."

The Library and Museum Committee drew attention to a problem that it is experiencing with some gifts to the library and museum. While all gifts are appreciated, some are not adequately identified for proper classification. The committee requested that all gifts "be described in detail including previous owner, lodge and number, identity of the donor and any other pertinent information regarding the item or items." VERMONT 205th Annual Communication South Burlington, Vermont, June, 1999 89 Lodges 8,293 Members

In his Annual Address M.W. Bro. Edward J. Wildblood focused attention on the importance of knowing the past and of learning the lessons which it has to teach when he announced that the Vermont Lodge of Research had been chartered. Its mandate is to preserve the knowledge of local Masonic history, to explore the philosophy of the Craft, to contribute to the Masonic education of Masons and non-Masons alike, and to provide a positive outlet for members interested in Masonic research and study. The Grand Master spoke of the future of Freemasonry in Vermont and of the problems which it is facing. In his judgement, the principal difficulties are membership, attendance, education and public relations. He stated that he is often asked why Grand

Lodge does not do something to solve the problems. His answer is that, since Grand

Lodge is doing everything that it can, the solution "lies not with Grand Lodge, not even with the Blue Lodge, BUT rather with the individual MASON! As I see it, the primary job of the Grand Lodge and the Blue Lodge is to instil a knowledge, an enthusiasm, a desire and a pride in our Fraternity. Once this is accomplished, the so-caWed problems will be recognized as the challenges that they actually are! Signs of this are apparent in various pockets of our jurisdiction." In his report the Grand Historian observed that, though Masons are facing FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 225 problems at the present time, "maybe things aren't as different today as they were some three quarters of a century ago." As evidence, he quoted from an article in The New England Craftsman as reprinted in The Master Mason of February, 1925: "FREEMASONS may well ask, what is to be the future of the Craft? Everything advances, improves, broadens, and Freemasonry must keep step with the march of mankind or fall by the wayside. Masonry must adapt itself to the demands of the age in order to be effective in the fulfilment of tne great purpose for which it exists, and which alone can justify its existence." The writer in 1925 concluded that Masons "must be taught what Freemasonry is, whence it came, what brought it to us from the remote past and what it is trying to accomplish."

This led the Grand Historian to make this comment: "It seems as though little has changed in the last seventy-five years. We continue to have a serious need for MASONIC EDUCATION."

The Public Relations Committee reported that it had sent out the usual press releases to daily newspapers, monthly publications and local radio and television stations, as well as arranging for radio talk show appearances by the Grand Master. Programming on Vermont Public Television, including the popular THIS OLD HOUSE, was sponsored, gaining much valuable public exposure for the Craft.

VICTORIA Quarterly Communications

East Melbourne, Victoria, March, June, September and December, 1999 501 Lodges

Following his Installation as Grand Master at the March Quarterly Communication, M.W. Bro. Carl Bruce Stewart spoke of the future of Freemasonry in Victoria. He emphasized the need for a combined effort by Grand Lodge and the Constituent

Lodges upon entering a new Masonic year. "Planning," he said plainly, "is the key issue: we must make our lodges a place where men want to be and where they want to bring their friends. He enumerated a number of problems that plague lodges generally: inadequate meeting places, substandard work and ceremonial, and social hours with seemingly endless, boring speeches. Pointing out that improvement in the fortunes of a lodge depends on the actions of individual members, the Grand Master issued this challenge to his Brethren: "Remember that there are three kinds of people in the world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. To all who are here tonight, and the thousands who are not, I ask the question, TO WHICH CATEGORY DO YOU BELONG?" Announcement was made at the June Quarterly Communication that a Service- men's Lodge had been chartered. It is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Lodge and it is to be a living memorial to those men whose service to Australia has received inadequate recognition. The lodge got off to a good start with thirty-five Charter Members. Although the registered location of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Lodge is East Melbourne, its members plan to hold meetings in various centres throughout the State of Victoria. It is anticipated that meeting in different locations will make the Lodge better known to veterans, particularly those who served during the conflict in Vietnam and will lead to their becoming interested in what their fellow veterans are doing in Freemasonry. M.W. Bro. Stewart concluded his Address to the June Quarterly Communication, as he did in March, with a quotation and a penetrating challenge. "I emphasize the 226 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

point: we must make our lodges a place where men WANT to be," he reminded the members of Grand Lodge, "and where they WANT to take their friends."

"Consider this: "When the rate of change outside an organization is greater than the rate of change within it - the end is in sight!"

"I ask the question — What are YOU doing about it?"

VIRGINIA 221st Annual Communication Richmond, Virginia, November 1999 332 Lodges 47,555 Members M.W. Bro. George Harry Chapin spoke of the theme which he indicated that he had stressed by word and deed on every occasion during his year. It was BUILDING BRIDGES, by which he meant bridges of understanding, compassion, toleration, integrity, honesty, friendship, morality and brotherly love. With his theme he had coupled a sub-theme: JUSTICE, MERCY, HUMILITY, which was taken from the

Great Light in Freemasonry, where the question is posed. What does the Lord require ofyou? and the prophet is answered. To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. Regarding the need for Masonry to be more open in dealing with the public, M.W.

Bro. Chapin believed that it is lack of knowledge about the Craft, together with a false need for secrecy, that causes a Mason to say "I can't tell you, it's a secret" when asked why he is a Mason. Members must be enabled, said the Grand Master, "to tell the world who we are, what we believe and what we stand for. If our Brethren know enough about our Fraternity and are willing and confident in their ability to tell others, our opposition will vanish." The Committee on Masonic Education reported that the main objective in the Area Education Conferences had been to support the Grand Master's concern for the need to provide leadership for the Craft. The total attendance at Area Education and Leadership Conferences during the year was 1370, with approximately twenty-five percent of those who registered participating in the leadership classes. A report was received from the Grand Master's Commission on Prince Hall Freemasonry, which had been appointed following a request from the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Virginia for recognition. The commission unanimously recommended that the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Virginia be recognized as being regular but the recognition was on the basis of certain conditions. In the words of the

Commission, "Our recommendation, if adopted, would allow their sojourning members to attend lodge in those jurisdictions recognized by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the Commonwealth of Virginia. It does not permit full recognition, i.e., visitation, dual membership, sharing ritual etc. in any lodge holden under the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the Commonwealth of Virginia." Regarding the Prince Hall Masons whom they met in their investigation, the commissioners recorded "the positive feelings we have toward one another - those of mutual understanding and trust. We are impressed with those with whom we have become acquainted as citizens and as members of their fraternity." FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 227

WEST VIRGINIA 136th Annual Communication

Charleston, West Virginia, October, 2000 149 Lodges 27,409 Members

Interest in Freemasonry, according to M.W. Bro. Robert R. Edwards, is on the

increase in West Virginia. He made special mention in his Annual Report of a visit to one of the lodges. On that occasion he observed the signatures in the Register of some fifteen young members, none of whom were over thirty years of age. "It does my heart good," he said, "to see these young Masons attending lodge and taking part in the Ritual. The young men in our society today represent the future of our Masonic Fraternity. I commend those brethren who work with DeMoIay and other youth organizations, and urge them to keep up the good work."

The Committee on Masonic Jurisprudence stated in its report that problems had arisen with an edict issued by the Grand Master implementing a Grand Lodge

resolution passed the previous year dealing with the pledge of allegiance. It was the committee's opinion that the resolution was unclear whether or not the salute to the

flag is voluntary. Another problem concerned the proper time to hold such a ceremony,

if there were to be one. As the pledge of allegiance might be confused with the ritual, the committee stressed the need to prevent this error from being made. Accordingly, the committee "recommended that the resolution on the pledge of allegiance passed

at the 1999 Annual Communication be revised to make the following clarification: (1) The pledge of allegiance is not a part of Masonic Ritual in this Grand Jurisdiction, and

(2) Freemasonry is universal, for in every clime a Mason can be found. Inserting the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag during the business of the lodge may have a divisive effect when citizens of other countries are present." Grand Lodge gave its approval to the committee's recommendation that resolution respecting the pledge of allegiance be amended as appropriate. The Committee on the Internet and Web Site recommended that, since the

internet site for the Grand Lodge of West Virginia has been a useful tool, its use should be continued. It proposed that, though no lodge should be forced to participate, all should be encouraged to do so. The committee made a number of proposals which were intended to ensure that only information proper to be made public was allowed to be internet accessible. Regarding the appointment of a Chairman of the Internet and Web Site Committee, the committee was strongly of the view that the most important qualifications for a Web Master to possess are knowledge of Masonry and Masonic Law. These qualifications must take precedence in the selection process. Because the emphasis on Masonic knowledge and experience may result in the Web Master not having equipment or training in the field of WWW design, a budget item for compensating technical support as needed was recommended by the committee.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA Half-Yearly Communication and Annual Communication East Perth, Western Australia, May and October, 1999

1 76 Lodges 6, 050 Members

At the Half-Yearly Communication it was announced that the Grand Lodge of South Australia, on behalf of the Grand Masters' Conference, had published a statement on Freemasonry in Australia and New Zealand. In M.W. Bro. The Ven. Archd. S. F.

Threlfall's description of the book, it is "a definitive statement of Masonry as we see 228 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

it in Australia. The book of eighty-four pages has as its purpose: (1) To account for the beginnings and history of Freemasonry; (2) To outline the spread of its interests and developments in Australia and New Zealand; (3) To specify what Freemasonry

actually is and does; (4) To identify the nature of the way of life it teaches; and (5) To expose, in the face of misrepresentation and sometimes unfair or even malicious comment, the true status of this ancient and honourable Institution." (Copies were sold by the Grand Secretary for $6.00, Australian.) The Board of General Purposes reported on the establishment of a Grand Lodge web site. The Board encouraged members to "participate in establishing their lodge's web page or just browsing the information available."

In accordance with the terms established previously for a centennial appeal, it was decided to "adopt a Western Australia Freemasons Chair in Aged Care Services at Curtin University." At the Annual Communication, the Grand Master spoke of the need to re-examine the procedures for governance in Freemasonry, particularly in jurisdictions with very large areas with few inhabitants. He reminded them that the cost of time and travel for country brethren, some living hundreds of miles from Perth, "denies them the opportunity of being active participants. Even in the closer surrounds of Perth, frustration and disillusionment in our formal and bureaucratic structure leaves many of our decisions unowned, though accepted, by the membership at large." Looking to the future, the Grand Master stated, "The world has changed around us and I suggest that our newer members require a change in style of government: a system that clearly demonstrates relevance and provides empowerment and an accountability that is transparent, with brethren able to exercise their democratic rights." He proposed Regional Conferences where members could meet at minimal cost to contribute ideas for the good of Masonr)'. At such forums every brother could introduce, debate and vote on policy proposals, which (if approved by the Conference) would be referred to the Board of General Purposes for consideration and action. He asked, "Have I opened a Pandora's box? Are we courageous enough to run with this development?

Can we achieve a complete package, a restructured plan and guide it to successful implementation?"

The Grand Master stated that, in addition to such topics as Lodge Charters, the purpose of Masonry and membership problems, he intended to highlight two matters of concern to him: "fraternal friendship among Masons and the landmark right of Masonic travel." Addressing the question of fraternal friendship among Masons, M.W. Bro. Richard

E. Black pointed out that harmony is the strength and support of Freemasonry. It is an absolute essential both within lodges and between those associations that form what is commonly known as the Masonic Family. Without genuine harmony it is inevitable that feuds, spats, personal conflicts and other instances of un-Masonic conduct will develop. "Heated arguments in a tiled lodge," said the Grand Master, "are unacceptable." As we are taught early in Masonry that learning to subdue our passions is one of the fundamental principles of the Craft, he suggested that it may be necessary FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 229 to re-learn some of those values.

"Travel," he indicated, turning to the other topic which he wished to highlight, "is a basic part of Masonry. It is the right of Mackey's Landmarks and yet it's a right that very few Masons take the opportunity for . . . Masons from Wisconsin travel across this nation and across the globe on business and on pleasure and many of them, too many of us, rarely set foot in another Grand Jurisdiction's Lodge. And I ask why? Are we afraid of what we would find? Are we afraid of men in distant places that we would meet? Well, to me, it's a joy to travel, to meet men who will receive you with warmth, open arm.s, trust, friendship, just like you were a long-lost member of their family."

Since Masonry is the only organization that provides the traveller with such universal acceptance, we would lose much without it, and so would society. The DeMolay State Master Councillor proudly announced that the membership had increased in the year. He proposed a way by which members of Grand Lodge might learn about DeMolay: "Get a night in your local lodge, set up and have the members of Wisconsin DeMolay come in and do the explaining for you. It's just that easy." The Fraternal Relations with Prince Hall Committee reported that meetings are held regularly with Prince Hall representatives. "Our discussions continue to be open and honest and all present are encouraged to present any item or subject for discussion which might be important or cause concern to either organization." The use of computers continued to expand, as reported by the Computer Usage Committee, which looked "forward with great anticipation to the upcoming improve- ments and enhancements." Address By R.W, Bro. James W. Daniel Grand Secretary United Grand Lodge of England at the Grand Masters Banquet July 18, 2001

Introduction of Guest Speaker BY M.W. Bro. Robert J. Mckibbon Past Grand Masters, Deputy Grand Master, William Mercer Wilson Recipients and my Brethren.

I mentioned in the board meeting yesterday we have in our presence three world renowned Masonic Leaders, in the persons of R.W. Bro. Jim Daniel, R.W. Bro. Thomas Jackson, and our own M.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies. This evening is a rare privilege indeed for we have as our guest speaker one of those leaders - the Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England, R.W. Bro. James Wallace Daniel. Brother Daniel, in 1965, married Jennifer Ruth Hammer, and they have one son and one daughter. He was educated at Truro School; Brasenose College, Oxford (MA); University of Leeds (PGDTESL). As a member of the British Council from 1964 to 1989 he served in London, Kuwait, Berlin, Cambodia (Cultural Attach6), Sri Lanka, Munich, Venezuela and British Embassy, Washington DC (Cultural Attachd); seconded to the Foreign Cultural Office (CRD) in 1983 - 1984. From 1984 until 1998 he served as the Grand Secretary General of the Ancient and Accepted Rite when be became the Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England. Masonically speaking, R.W. Bro. Daniel was initiated in Apollo University Lodge No. 357, Oxford, in 1961. He was Worshipful Master in St. George Lodge (L2170), Sri Lanka, in 1975; Friends in Council (L1383), London, in 1976; Pegasus (L2205), London, in 1993; and Westminster and Keystone (LIO), London, in 1996.

Other Masonic Orders: Bro. Daniel is a 33° member of the Ancient and Accepted Rite; a Past 1st Great Constable - Knights Templar; Past Senior General - Red Cross of Constantine; Past Grand Junior Warden - Mark Master Masons; and is presently the Provincial Grand Master for the Cotswolds in the Royal Order of Scotland.

When not involved masonically, you might find Bro. Daniel, or should I say Captain Jim, or Skipper Daniel, sailing his Cornish Crabber "The Pious Pelican."

My brethren, it is my joyful pleasure to present to you one of the most notable and knowledgeable Freemasons in the world. Please welcome the Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England, R.W. Bro. James Daniel, (applause)

Brethren All. Thank you for that very warm welcome. I have to say it is becoming increasingly difficult to recognize myself from what is read out about me. Remember, that for 17 years I was the Past District Grand Pursuivant of Sri Lanka, where my first Mastership comes back with very happy memories. There were scarcely any Englishmen left in the lodge at that stage. Past District Grand Pursuivant was a serious honour for me to APPENDIX B 231

receive, particularly as I had had to fly back there from Munich to receive it, whither I had been posted. I am also grateful to you for not serving moose tonight. I did not bring my dentures with me but, just to show that

I am bilingual, I wonder how many people here know what the French word for a pair of false teeth is. Oh, it is "aperitif of course! I thank you also for the rubber chicken, which put to shame the very English roast beef we had last night. I hope that in return I can give you a little bit of food for thought for the rest of the evening. What time do they serve breakfast?

I was quite impressed this morning by the various visitors, presenters of reports on committees, etc - the way they ran through all the Masonic Honorifics. They got the Grand Master's title right, they got the Board of General Purposes right. We have a very special class of Mason in England who is called a Deputy Grand Director of Ceremonies. The Grand Director of Ceremonies in England is actually too Grand to do anything at all. (laughter) The Deputies do all the work and they seem to get meetings as large as this under their control. I thought one of them was going to fall flat on his face one night, but he did not. It was beautiful. He had the audience under total control. We had a meeting of our Grand Charity in the National

Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. It was a very noisy evening. We serve alcohol with our meal just to make sure the food is more palatable, (laughter) He got everyone's attention and said: "Brethren, Brethren, My Lord Lieutenant, Provincial Grand Master, Festival President, My Lord

Mayor of Birmingham, Holders of Overseas Grand Rank," and it went on and on and on, and finally he said, "Brethren and ladies, you will now rise. We will now sing the first verse of the National Anthem, after which the

Queen will be drunk." (laughter)! It was almost as bad as when I was initiated in the Apollo University Lodge Oxford, 40 years ago this

December, where we initiate people at the age of 19. We still have multiple candidates each night, we work 2 degree Ceremonies each night, and it is a very special place. They are all quite young and I now feel like a very ancient part of the furniture. The great trick was to give your candidate, and there used to be four, five, six or eight candidates on the night, the longest list of Masonic Honorifics to read out when he had to thank everyone for proposing him for membership, and mine went something like this. - "Provincial Grand Master, members of Grand Lodge, members of the Provincial Grand Lodge, members of the Grand Lodge Above." (laughter)

I had no idea what I had walked into that night.

So much for the written part of my speech, (laughter)

I am the seventeenth Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of

England since 1717 and I shall be one of those who held the office for the shortest time, (laughter) It is an ancient office, usually held by people who are more ancient than I. I intend to retire some time after Christmas, when

I shall reach the advanced age of 60, and another 20 years after that I should qualify for membership of the Supreme Council, (laughter) There are two 232 APPENDIX B

great Grand Secretaries that I should like to mention tonight. One of them

is here - M.W. Bro. Bob Davies. He has been around for 22 years and has been a great friend, not only of English Freemasonry but of Freemasonry

around the world. He is a widely respected gentleman and I would like to

record here how proud I am to count him among my friends. He also looked after my godfather in Freemasonry, Sir James Stubbs. He had a different

sense of humour - he came from the old school. I remember saying to him

once that brother so and so was ill, and he said "Nothing too insignificant

I hope." (laughter)

I would also like to thank you, M.W. Grand Master, for inviting me here.

I have not been back to Canada in a Masonic capacity since 1993 when I

came over to Hamilton for a meeting of the Scottish Rite. I remember

driving off then with my wife in a car and meeting our first moose, and I

repeat my thanks for not having moose on the menu tonight. And while I

am in the thanking mood, I would like to thank this Grand Lodge for having understood the position of the United Grand Lodge of England on certain international matters and for their support in some very difficult times, particularly on the international scene. Thank you very, very much indeed.

Now, when I was taught public speaking, which I was told happened while I was in the womb (laughter) — mind you that was the place where

there was no womb for criticism (laughter) - I was told that you never start

a speech with an apology, so I shall start with several, (laughter) The first is for my late arrival last night. That was not the fault of Virgin Airlines —

Virgin landed on time but ended up late at the gate, (laughter) I apologize

secondly for my throat. It is deep. You cannot see it but it is sore and, if I

have to give up before breakfast, I am sure someone else will take over,

(laughter) I also have to apologize for my early departure tomorrow because,

on Friday morning, I have to take the President of my Board, Lord Cadogan, out to breakfast to brief him prior to the meeting of the Board. We meet

five times a year and only have nine members. On Saturday I have to preside over a meeting of the Royal Order of Scotland and that means learning an

awful lot of Scottish verse and trying to get it right this time, (laughter) But

actually I come as a very delayed postman. The mail between Canada and England has not been good. In 1855 my predecessor, Wm Henry White,

received a letter, which has remained unanswered, and I have come here to bring the answer to you. (laughter) The letter said, "We have had enough, you will not answer our letters, we have cut adrift and formed our own

Grand Lodge." 1855, Brethren! W. H. White was still learning the trade as Grand Secretary. He had only been in office for 50 years at that stage,

(laughter) Anything that was difficult or became difficult he just put it aside

and it was not until about two years later that certain younger members of Grand Lodge began to pick up news of what was happening in Canada and pressure was put on him to clear his desk and disappear. When they cleared his desk they found what happened in 1855 and the letter telling us a Grand APPENDIX B 233

Lodge had been formed. That Grand Lodge did not include all the lodges of the English Province of Canada at that time. They did not all join until

1858 and, at that stage, England decided to recognize Canada and I thought

I would come here and tell you that, (laughter) It was interesting to note that you were already into advertising Canada as being good and worthy of backing. The Grand Master of Michigan was named Bachus and Bachus signed this letter telling us that you had been formed. Perhaps both of us were to blame. I haven't brought over any bills nor have I done the computation yet, but no dues had been paid since 1830 by those lodges. It just happens that there was fault on both sides.

W. H. White, in refusing to answer that important letter, was going against everything that had been developing both in the English Parliament and the English Grand Lodge. There was a Deputy Grand Master of England sent over here to investigate Canadian claims in 1838. He was known as Radical Jack, the first Earl of Durham, and he produced the Durham Report in 1839 recommending pretty well complete self govern- ment. This document is one of the greatest in British Imperial history. It established the principles upon which the British Commonwealth of Nations has been built. He proposed a union of Upper and Lower Canada and advised forbearance with the use of Imperial authority. I^ter on, when

Canada had properly received greater independence, it was a very young future Pro Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England, the fourth Earl of Carnarvon, who introduced the Federation of Canada Bill in Parliament in 1865 when he was an active member of Grand Lodge. I can also say he was a member of my lodge or, perhaps I should say, I am a member of his lodge.

I also want to read to you a little letter, which again was delayed by post, from a young man who came over here as early as the 5th of May, 1857. He wrote that he had attended a funeral here and a very large number of Masons had attended to demonstrate their respect for the deceased, Bro. Zimmerman. The Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Canada West and the Grand Master of the so-called independents of the Grand Lodge were present. In order to prevent any indecent demonstration of feeling, it was thought advisable to request an American Grand Master to preside over the occasion. So it was an American Grand Master presiding over the funeral of a Canadian brother! The English visitor went on to say that, "with great difficulty, a great proportion of our lodges have been prevented from seceding. Continued motions have been announced and withdrawn by particular request. In short, nothing short of independence will suffice for the pressing emergency." He then said please allow them to form a Regular Independent Grand Lodge. That was in 1857. He too was a member of my lodge. So do not think that we were all against you! I have come here not only to tell you that you were recognized but that we are very glad to see you in such good health. 234 APPENDIX B

But why have I spent so long talking about the past? After all, the subject of my talk was meant to be Freemasonry today, tomorrow, back to basics, with a question mark at the end. Somebody said, I think it was Ford

- he produced cars - he said, "History is Bunk." I have to say I disagree. I think that a member of a family who doesn't know very much about its

history, or a country which has forgotten what it has gone through in the

last 50 or 100 years, or an Institution which has forgotten its roots or where

it came from, they become dislocated. They don't have roots. They have lost

their anchor. Without an anchor it is very difficult to go downstairs and plot

your course for the future. You are just at the mercy of the waves. So I make no apology at all for starting with that short historical section.

Let us look at Freemasonry today. Most of my comments are applicable

to my own Grand Lodge. I don't know if they are applicable to your Grand

Lodge or to the Grand Lodges of the visitors here on the top table, but I

wouldn't be surprised if most of the criticisms that I make about Freemasonry today are pretty valid here as well. In most Grand Lodges, with

very few exceptions, there is still a declining membership. Is that true here? We are worried about our so-called failure to attract younger members. Is

that true here? The number of lodges is actually declining. Is that true here? We are sometimes subject to attacks from the media, churches and perhaps

government. Is that true here? We have quite a lot of it in England. We are

not too sure why! We are the necessary devil I suppose. Som.etimes we say,

"Gosh, we are doing all this charity and nobody publishes anything about it. Why do we not get more publicity for our charity work?" Is that a concern here? "Why was Kevin made a Mason? He only wants a promotion. He

wants another Medal. He does nothing for his lodge." I wouldn't be

surprised if we all have a lot of that around in your lodges as well. We also find that a lot of our members know very, very little about Freemasonry even though they have been in for 40 or 50 years. They have not thought

about it. They have not been told about it. They have shown little interest

in it so they have actually been unable to act as ambassadors for it. Is that true here?

It is easy, isn't it, to blame Grand Lodge. It's Grand Lodge's fault. All

those people up there — they just take our money — what do we get for it.

They interfere. They don't lead?" I am sure this can't be true here! But it

certainly is true in London. When I arrived, there was an awful lot of criticism of the Centre. There was a proliferation of disciplinary cases. These were not just people falling out of a lodge by allowing their personalities to take control and their egos to swamp the lodge, but people actually

committing civil and criminal offences. In percentage terms, it was not a

high number but it made me worry about the standards we set. I hope your standards have not drifted down. We find attempts by individuals and Grand Lodges around the world to try and take control of this ancient organization

and to adapt it to their own purposes, be they political or economic. That APPENDIX B 235

is a fault of which we should all be very, very aware. We find squabbles between Grand Lodges about what is Regular, what are the Landmarks. We find members hanging out their dirty washing on the Internet. Some of the things said on the Internet by brethren announcing themselves as brethren are frankly disgusting. They are letting themselves and the organization down.

I am told that young men today have learning difficulties. They can no longer spend the time to learn the Ritual. (Do you all have to learn the

Ritual here or are you allowed to read it?) I am told that some young men just haven't got the time and, by the way, the language is out of date. They cannot understand it. Actually there is a little bit of truth in that. I have heard Masters who have learnt it parrot fashion but did not know what they were saying when they recited "murder, felony, and all other crimes being at all times most especially accepted." (laughter) Some people have queried the relevance of Freemasonry today. Trying to clear a sore throat, I went out in the boat on Saturday evening with a relatively young man and his second wife. He is an entrepreneur, and he said to me, "Do you really think that

Freemasonry is still relevant?" "Yes, of course I do." He said, "How is it relevant to me? I haven't got time!" I said, "You have got time to go out on the boat with me now - you have time to belong to a Soccer Club - you have time to go on holiday - it is a question of choice." He said, "Okay, even if I had the time, why would it be relevant? It is purely what you stand for.

Purely scratching each other's backs." I said, "That is not what we stand for

- scratching each other's backs. That is not what we stand for." So we have that type of ignorant criticism as well. I will throw him overboard next time, (laughter)

As you listen to all those complaints, and I could probably go on, you will notice that most are criticisms by ourselves about ourselves. Weaknesses of the organization which I have listed seem to come from within rather than from without. That is just the negative side and they are terribly easy to enumerate. In fact, we are one of the most successful institutions ever invented by man! We are a world-wide organization that has remained attractive and relevant over all the Continents, in some cases for nearly three centuries. The fact that we are slightly smaller now than we were before is irrelevant. We are slightly larger now than we were then in some cases.

Numbers is not the game that we are in. Freemasonry has survived social changes and political changes all over the world. It must have something good about it. It has, brethren, and those are the basics I want to talk to you about.

Let us not forget that we are but the temporary owners of one of the most successful organizations ever invented. The temporary owners. We have to hand over this vehicle. We have to hand over this vehicle in good shape to the future owners. They won't be like us. They never are. The next generation is always worse. You know that, (laughter) We have to keep it 236 APPENDIX B in good running order, we have to keep it well serviced. Indeed, we have to show it off occasionally to show its value. What is the basic strength of Freemasonry as an organization? It has to be that individual private lodge to which we all belong. Some of us belong to several lodges. These lodges are where we meet and sit with our friends. We enjoy their company. It is those strangers who became our friends, who invited us in to share their company and, in some cases, we have been with them for 40-plus years. A very, very special fellowship has developed. We were invited into their family. We have become part of their family. We are part of a larger family, but the main family is the lodge itself. Most lodges all around the world have been allowed to do their own thing. In some cases for centuries without very much interference by Grand Lodge. Now here is a Grand Secretary talking about interference by Grand Lodge! I am not normally in favour. As long as everybody agrees with me (laughter), I have no problem. I think the worst thing that we could do would be to control everything that happens in each private lodge. Those little differences. Those special friendships within the lodge. Those little differences make a group of people special.

That is one of the great, great strengths of Freemasonry. To be drawn in by our friends and growing up with our friends and dying with our friends and, with any luck, living respected and dying regretted. So the basic unit of

Freemasonry is right - that is the lodge and, if anything destroys its viability,

the whole structure falls down.

Lodges come and go. They always have, because they are essentially groups of friends. Sometimes those friends almost isolate themselves and they do not bring in the next generation. Then the lodge will die. It is a matter of regret, but everybody dies. Even Grand Secretaries die. They are human, (laughter) Lodges must not be kept alive unnaturally. One of the great things about Freemasonry is that basic units are allowed to die gracefully and new units are born as friends fall out and go on to form another lodge. It is a fantastic organization we have which allows this to happen and the organization goes on. It is like an amoeba. We get worried about retention rates. We did some research into the 1880's, one of the high eras of Freemasonry. Then, the average age of a lodge before it died v^^as only 15 years. And we think we have problems today! Yes, we have got different sorts of problems today because in those days they didn't have television; they didn't have wives who demanded help in turning on the washing machine for example. But most problems which our predecessors faced were exactly the same as we face today.

The world is different but the size of the problem, the type of the problem, was exactly the same. We have in England much smaller lodges than you do. You average about 100 to a lodge. We average about 30 per lodge. There are arguments both ways. If you only have 30 people to call on and only half show up you are struggling for Officers. If you have 100 members, you should be able to get a degree team on the floor. On the APPENDIX B 237

Other hand, if you have got 100 members they will not know each other quite so well. The basic thing for all of us is to set the right standard. If we select the wrong person to come into our family, it is like inserting a bad apple into a barrel. So much of the future depends on the quality of our selection of the candidates for Freemasonry. Those who say, "Master, in your year, you must bring in three candidates" are doing a disservice to

Freemasonry. If there are three good candidates out there, certainly let us have them. But, if there are none, there is plenty else that we can do to enjoy each other's company. Talk about Freemasonry, learn about

Freemasonry and learn about what Freemasonry is. We do not have to have a candidate. We are not membership driven. Yes, of course, we have Temples that need repair. Yes, of course, we have got Charities that need funding. But we were never essentially a Charity organization. We were never essentially a Service organization and we did not start by owning property. These are the things that have happened as the family has got older. As we have become older, to satisfy the needs of our members, we have gone out and done more in the community itself. We bought buildings because our grandfathers thought that we could make a public statement and there were not many good Hotels around where we could meet like this. So they built Temples that have been handed down to us - but which now require repair. A lot of us have been living off the fat of our grandfathers. We have not been putting enough money aside to maintain these great buildings. We have been creating tension between Charity and Buildings perhaps.

Whatever we do, there are problems. If we think of Freemasonry as essentially a fund raising organization and devote all our intellectual energies devoted to raising money, Freemasonry as we know it and as our predecessors knew it will die. There are plenty of other organizations who exist just to raise money. We will no longer be different, we will no longer be that philosophical body teaching good men to be better men. Yes, charity is an expression of being a good Freemason but it is not our raison d'etre.

I was very impressed, by the way, by the amount of money that you have raised for Help-2-Hear. I think that is a brilliant, brilliant mission you have taken on. I wouldn't in any way want to undermine what you have done there. But I have been to Grand Lodges where individual members feel that they are being battered about the head all the time just to raise money. And that drives the true spirit of Freemasonry out the window.

About communications. We can improve communications. As Free- masons one of the great things we have got is being shoulder to shoulder with each other - we can talk to each other, we can learn from each other.

Yes we can. Isn't it interesting, off we go to the lodge room and we forget all those management skills, all those communication skills we learned outside the lodge and we suddenly flop onto the back benches. We just love the way the ceremonies are done. We leave all those other skills outside, we 238 APPENDIX B become almost dummies in fact and we don't put our true intellectual forces behind the work of the lodge.

Grand Lodges try to communicate. We send the messages down from on high and we try also to learn from grass roots. One of the key people in lodge is the Lodge Secretary. Again, the choice of Lodge Secretary I think has to be as critical in this age as it always was. Getting the right person to be the Secretary of the lodge is crucial.

I'll now turn to the thorny problem of the secrets of Freemasonry. The basics, back to basics. When I took over as Grand Secretary I think there was a temptation within part of my Grand Lodge to reveal everything to the outside world. Let the outside world come in and all our problems will disappear. Let the world walk all over us and they will go away. But it is never going to happen and it didn't happen and, in any case, the first exposures of Freemasonry, explaining everything that anybody really needs to know about Freemasonry, were published in the 1730's and are still available. The rituals have hardly changed. Even if we did all that, our critics would never believe that's all Freemasons are about. So the time came when we needed to draw a line and say that our ceremonies are private. To say that you can tell people a lot about our organization and the purpose and nature of our ceremonies - but that you have promised to keep their content private. Would you really like someone vyho says he is willing to stand by his promises and then doesn't keep them? So again, back to basics. Keep the standards right would be my advice and tell people about

Freemasonry. Tell them about the joys of Freemasonry and what it is that you get out of Freemasonry. Frankly, they are never going to believe you until they become members. I was interviewed recently by a lady member of the Press and she said, "It's true, isn't it, that you all worship Lucifer?" I said, "No, I can assure you as the Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England that we do not worship Lucifer." "Ah, she said, but you are only the Grand Lodge. It is in the Supreme Council, that's where they worship Lucifer." But I said, "Actually as a past member of the Supreme

Council I can assure you that they don't do that there either." "Ah, she said, no, no, it's the members of the 33rd degree isn't it." "No, I can assure you, that even in the 33rd degree they do not worship Lucifer. I am a member of the 33rd degree." "There you are, she said, they don't even tell you." (laughter)

Now then I want to finish off with a story about secrets. Where we have sworn not to reveal a secret we should not do so. But there are dangers in hiding our light under a bushel. I am reminded of my Masonic times in

Ghana. The present King of Ashanti is a Scottish Mason and how glad I am to have a Scottish Mason here tonight from the Bahamas. But when I went to call on him recently it reminded me of when the Ashanti people first discovered gold. Until then, a certain Chiefs village was a very poor village, and was O rated as far as the Revenue Inspector was concerned so they had APPENDIX B 239

to pay no taxes back to the British. Once they discovered gold of course all this has changed and the Chief had a golden stool made for himself and all sorts of things were made out of gold and made the Chief very rich. Then they heard the bad news that the Revenue Inspector was going to make his

bi-yearly visit. Oh, what were they going to do. So they tried to hide away

all the symbols of their richness. What would they do with the golden

throne? Luckily the Chief still lived in a very, very large grass hut and so

they decided to hide it away up in the roof. So they hoisted it up and tied

it up there and covered it with palm fronds. The Revenue Inspector came and he was shown this very, very poor village, obviously in distress, and he decided there was no need to impose any taxes whatsoever. At night they decided to celebrate the Revenue Inspector's remarkable findings by having

a party. Unfortunately, it began to rain so they had to hold the dance in the Chiefs hut and they were all dancing around, waving their assegais, when

one of the assegais cut the rope holding the throne up in the roof and it came down and killed the Chief. The moral of this story is "that people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones."

Let us not hide away our golden thrones and let's tell people how joyful

and how successful our organization is and how much we have enjoyed getting together here today, not just as Canadians, but as members of this great Masonic family.

Thank you all very, very much for hearing and listening to me as attentively as you have and thank you once again for the invitation and for a splendid night. Thank you very much indeed.

Deputy Grand Master's thanks to R.W. Bro. James W. Daniel R.W. Bro. James W. Daniel, Honorary Past Junior Grand Warden, Grand Secretary,

United Grand Lodge of England. R.W. Sir.

This morning we were invited to partake of a sumptuous banquet, that included as its

special surprise entr6e 'poulette de latex vulcanaire' and to hear the thoughts of; Where

Masonry is and Where it might travel in the future, from a distinguished Mason that

our Grand Master described as charming, witty and an all round 'Jolly Good Chap' -

one who has his finger on the pulse of our Order from a world perspective. I respond in like British form by simply stating, 'Jolly Good Show.'

R.W. Sir, your historic trip down a Masonic memory lane and your topic this

evening, 'The Future of the Craft: Back to Basics' is most timely as one prepares to

meet the several challenges that might befall us as a fraternity. I would add that we embrace the opportunity to perpetuate the basic tenets and fundamental principles of our Order and provide for future generations, a fraternity that preserves and maintains

its ancient landmarks and time-honoured traditions. It is a subject near and dear to my

own heart and one that I hope to have the opportunity to address - albeit very briefly ~ tomorrow morning.
