    THE ANCIENT* LANDMARKS OF THE ORDER *Throughout I have used the spelling “Ancient” rather than “Antient.” W.BRO. A.D. MATTHEWS PPGReg Issue 4: - 9th April 2013 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Proverbs 22: 28 What are the Landmarks? How many are there and where are they defined? I turn for guidance, first to the Book of Constitutions of the United Grand Lodge of England, which states in: Rule 4: “The Grand Lodge possesses the supreme super-intending authority and alone has the inherent power of enacting laws and regulations for the government of the Craft, and of altering, repealing and abrogating them, always taking care that the ancient Landmarks of the Order be preserved.” 1 Rule 55 “If it shall appear to the Grand Master that any proposed resolution contains anything contrary to the ancient Landmarks of the Order, he may refuse to permit the same to be discussed.” 1 Rule 111 “Every Master Elect, before being passed to the Chair, shall solemnly pledge himself to preserve the Landmarks of the Order.” 1 Rule 125(b) “No Brother who is not subject to the Grand Lodge shall be admitted unless his Certificate shows that he has been initiated according to the ancient rites and ceremonies in a Lodge belonging to a Grand Lodge professing belief in TGAOTU…… nor unless he himself shall acknowledge that this belief is an essential Landmark of the Order ……..” 1 These are the only references to the Ancient Landmarks in the Book of Constitutions and there is no defined list therein, so all we can determine so far is that a professed belief in TGAOTU is an Ancient Landmark of the Order and the only one specifically defined as such by the United Grand Lodge of England.

  • The York Rite Degrees of Freemasonry
    (The Chivalric Orders Continued) THE ORDER OF MALTA: Shifting to the time of the Crusades, admission to the Mediterranean Pass is sought, that a safe pilgrimage to the Holy Sepul- chre might be undertaken. This is a very sublime and sacred Order, which culminates in the enroll• ment of the suppliant as a Knight of Malta. THE ORDER OF THE TEMPLE: No Degree or Order in Masonry is more solemn, more impressive or more soul •searching than the Order of the Tem- ple. It becomes a fitting climax to the labors of the humble penitent, who has faithfully performed the symbolic seven years of preparation for this con- summation of his endeavors, his knighting as a Christian Warrior. Knights Templar were so named because of their close association with the site of the Temple, during the number of years that they occupied and held Jerusalem.

  • Masonic Landmarks (Presentation at the Nairobi Lodge of Instruction on Monday 24Th June 2013)
    MASONIC LANDMARKS (PRESENTATION AT THE NAIROBI LODGE OF INSTRUCTION ON MONDAY 24TH JUNE 2013) Wor.Master and Brethren, In our ritual teachings and the Book of Constitutions, you will come across references to the “Ancient Landmarks” severally. However, you will note that there is no clear mention in the Ritual Books or the Book of Constitutions as to what constitutes an Ancient Landmark apart from rule 125(b) of the Book of Constitutions which refers to “belief in T.G.A.O.T.U” as an essential Landmark of the Order. On further research of this topic, you will find that there are varied opinions and suggestions given by Masonic Scholars and Researchers which may lead you to further confusion than when you started. This is probably one of the most widely debated subjects in Masonry. There is also some degree of confusion or rather lack of consensus with regards to its definition and therefore what constitutes a “Landmark”. The two requisites which have been generally accepted amongst Freemasons as to what constitutes a Landmark are firstly, that it must have existed from time immemorial and secondly that a Landmark is the element in the form or essence of Freemasonry, and that Freemasonry would no longer be there if it were removed. Therefore the next question that you may ask is how many Landmarks are there and what are they. This is again a contentious issue as some English masonic scholars have come up with three, others five, whilst some have listed more such as Dr. Albert Mackey, a famous American Freemason researcher who had produced twenty five.

  • English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records
    T iPlCTP \jrIRG by Lot L I B RAHY OF THL UN IVER.SITY Of ILLINOIS 975.5 D4-5"e ILL. HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.
