The song "He Touched Me" was sung by Brother Mike Mooney. Taps were placed by Mr. Terrell Brunet. The following Necrology report was delivered by M:W: Brother N. Harris Mc- Clamroch, P.G.M.: Most Worshipful Grand Master, very special guests of our Grand Lodge family, friends, and my brethren: Another year has come and gone. We are about to begin a new masonic year. A wise Indian philosopher once said "No one steps in the same river twice". Everything changes and is changing. Nothing remains the same. Our masonic family has changed from a year ago. Many of our brethren who were vibrant with the joys and activities of life have silently slipped away from us. There is a time and a tide in the lives of men, said Shakespeare. Being human we do not fully understand. Being human we are never ready for their passing. It is a bittersweet experience that we share with them in life and death. At such times of earthly dissolution we realize our limitations and our lack of understanding. We are frustrated by our inability to cope and to help. We wish we could be more helpful in the continuing healing processes with which the families and friends are struggling. We miss these beloved ones. No one can fill their void or take their place, because they are unique, very special, one of a kind individuals, elaborately and wonderfully made by the Great Source and Origin of All That Is to be His sons and our brothers. We now express again our undying love for these brethren and our gratitude and adoration to Him Who doeth all things well as we commit ourselves and those dear ones into His holy keeping. In keeping with time honored tradition in our Grand Lodge our Grand Master has set aside this time to be dedicated as a memorial to our departed brothers and to marvel and be grateful for their lives and personalities. It reminds us of the grace and goodness of the Great Overwhelming Lord God of Hosts Who so copiously pours unmerited blessing and rich benefits on all who have eyes to see. It reminds us of the oft repeated biblical phrases "His loving kindness and tender mercies" and "For His loveendureth forever". We begin to see the height and depth and width and the fullness of the cry of the Psalmist "For the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love". But we must admit our loss and our pain. We must admit our honest fears and doubts. We are masons all. And as such we know that we all shall live again. We know that our Redeemer lives and that though this body shall vanish yet in our flesh shall we see God. He has not put immortality into our hearts to mock us. Infinity, nature, and reason combine to assure us of immortality. No, my dear friends, the race is not in vain nor does this weary pilgrimage lead to a dead end. He Who began His 10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

good and perfect work in us will complete it in due time. Of that we are certain. We particularly remember the families of our dear departed. We want to remain close to you and helpful to you. This is written into the stars of our constitution and in the tablets of the enduring marble of Freemasonry. Though our brother is not here in a narrow physical sense he is to bound to us by cords never to be broken. In addition to the multitude of our brothers who passed away this year the Grand Lodge family suffered the following temporary losses: Bro. August Hank Lentz, Man- ager of the Masonic Temple Building for many years. R:W: Roy G. Stockton, Jr., District Deputy Grand Master of the 18th Masonic District. R:W: S. Archie S. Evans, long time Past Grand Lecturer whose memorial will be given by R:W: Brother Clifford A. Bradley, Grand Senior Warden. M:W: Brother Fred H. Raiford, Jr., M:W: Past Grand Master, whose memorial will be given by M:W: R. L. Kleinpeter, P.G.M. M:W: Brother J. Luther Jordan, M:W: Past Grand Master, whose memorial will be given by M:W: Brother A. J. Lewis, Past Grand Master. In concluding this memorial let us determine that in honor of the departed we will join hearts in the following pilgrimage ourselves: To rededicate ourselves to the high and holy principles of our craft. To seek peace on earth, goodwill to men and to pursue it endlessly, to unconditional surrender. To respect the earth, its people, and its Maker and to be henceforth a part of the solution and not a part of the problem toward a better life and a happier world. To love and to help the widows and the orphans and the needy, and the helpless. Pleading neither lack of time or want of opportunity. To these purposes we pledge ourselves. May they be our oblation in memory of our blessed dead forever! So, until we meet again my brothers, until that blessed reunion farewell.

IN MEMORIAM

JAMES LUTHER JORDAN Born: January 23,1895 Died: March 11,1984

In the words of Charles Hanson Towne, who said: "They have triumphed who have died; They have passed the porches wide, Leading from the House of Night To the splendid lawns of light, They have gone on that far road Leading to their new abode, And from curtained casements we Watched their going wistfully. They have won, for they have read The bright secrets of the dead; And they gain the deep unknown, Hearing Life's strange undertone. In the race across the days They are victors and the praise, Theirs the glory and the pride, They have triumphed, having died." And so it was, that on the early morning of Sunday, March 11, 1984, the Supreme Grand Master of heaven and earth, removed from our midst, one of Louisiana's Mighty OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA ? j

Masonic Oaks, in the passing of James Luther Jordan, a Past Grand Master of this Grand Lodge. A true friend to al I and a Mentor to many of us. A man whose true dedication to Freemasonry and his love of his feliowman, not only in this state but on an Interna- tional level as well, left Masonic footprints in the sands of time that will not be erased easily, nor followed by many of us. His Masonic legacy passed on to us as a leader of Freemasons will undoubtly have an effect on the future of Freemasonry over the world because of his 68 years as a Mason. J. Luther was born in Vernon Parish, Louisiana on January 23rd, 1895, the eldest son of John S. and Emma (Williams) Jordan. Attended the rural school located on his father's farm near Leesville, La. and completed his high school at Louisiana Poly- technic Institute in Ruston, Louisiana. Taught school in Vernon Parish for three terms, and on January 11, 1913 enrolled in the College of Agriculture of Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, from which he graduated on May 29,1916 with the highest four year average in the agricultural class of that year, winning the Lee Medal for this accomplishment. Companion Jordan took Graduate work in Louisiana State University and the University of Iowa. During the years 1925-1947 he was employed by the W. C. Nabors Company of Mansfield as Sales and Advertising Executive. General Manager of DeSoto Foundry, Inc., Area Conservationist in charge of Soil Conservation Service for the United States Department of Agriculture for 43 Parishes with headquarters in Alexandria, La. In January of 1947 after leaving the Agriculture Department he became engaged in the Real Estate business and spent four years in Shreveport after which he accepted a position as Vice President of the First National Bank of Mansfield. In the business world he was a Past President of the DeSoto Federal Savings and Loan Association, DeSoto Fair Association and DeSoto Chamber of Commerce in Mansfield and an active member of the Louisiana Bankers Association. He was a member of the First Baptist Church at Mansfield and for many years a member of the Executive Board of that church. He directed the work of the Baptist Young People's Union and taught various classes of young people and adults in its Sunday School. On October 9, 1918 he married Miss Jane Pearson of Denison, Texas, to which union four children have been born. Erna Jane (now deceased); J. Luther, Jr.,; lohn Pearson (both veterans of World War II); and Helen Elaine, now Mrs. Helen Bailev. Brother Jordan's Masonic record was very colorful. Received the Symbolic degrees in Masonry in Leesville Lodge No. 240 in 1916. Was elected and served as Grand Master of this Grand Lodge of Louisiana in 1942. Received the degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite from the 4th through the 32nd in Shreveport Consistory at Shreveport in May 1918 and received the K.C.C.H. in 1955 and coronetted a 33rd Degree Honorary in October 1959. Received the Capitular degrees in DeSoto Chapter No. 64 R.A.M. on July 1st, 1923. Elected and served as Grand High Priest, Grand Chapter R.A.M. of Louisiana in 1938. Elected and served as General Grand High Priest, Royal Arch Masons, International 1957-1960. Greeted a Royal and Select Master of Shreveport Council NO. 23 R&SM October 29, 1934. Elected and served as Most Illustrious Grand Master of theGrand Council of Louisiana in 1960. Knighted in Bethany Commandery No. 26 K.T. at Mansfield, Louisiana in February 1924 and affiliated with Ascension Commandery No. 6 in Shreveport in 1932.

He was Knighted in Miami Priory York Cross of Honour, Miami, Florida and became a Charter member of Louisiana Priory No. 43 when it was founded in this state. Eminent Prior in 1949 with rank of four (4) quadrants. A member and Past Sovereign of St. Matthew Conclave, Red Cross of Constantine; a member and Past Preceptor Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priest, and many other honorary memberships in Masonic Bodies scattered throughout the world. Being a fluent speaker, his services were sought after by many and various organizations in the United States and foreign lands. His love and devotion for the Masonic fraternity and especially his love for the Masons of this Grand Jurisdiction may have been the secret to his long Masonic life of 68 years as a working Mason. His contributions to all of Freemasonry in Louisiana will live long in the minds and hearts of two generations who were privileged to have known him. "It isn't the cut of the clothes you wear, Nor the stuff out of which they are made, Though chosen with taste and the greatest of care And it isn't the price you paid; It isn't the size of your pile in the bank, Nor the number of acres you own; It isn't a question of prestige, or rank, Nor of Muscle, nor sinew, nor bone, It isn't the servants who come at your call, It isn't the things you possess, Whether many, or little, or nothing at all, It is the Service which measures success." "Return unto thy rest, my soul From all the wanderings of thy thought, From sickness unto death made whole, Safe through a thousand Perils brought."

IN MEMORIAM

FRED H. RAIFORD, JR. (1922-1984)

There are stars that go out in the darkness But whose silvery light shineth on, There are roses whose perfume still lingers When the blossoms are faded and gone. There are hearts full of light and sweetness When no longer their life current flows, Still their goodness lives on with the living Like the souls of the star and the rose. "God calls the greatest and the least...the sweet, the kind, the good, the true..." and on April 5, 1984, with unexpected suddenness, death closed the door of life of Most Worshipful Brother Fred H. Raiford, jr., Grand Master of Masons, the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. & A.M., for 1975. Fred H. Raiford, Jr. was born April 2, 1922, in the City of Wesson, Mississippi, moving shortly after birth to Baton Rouge, Louisiana where he attended public schools, graduating in 1939. With the commencement of World War II, his patriotic dictates directed him to enlistment in the U.S. Army Air Corps, where he served with distinction for 41 months, receiving an Honorable Discharge in 1945. OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 13

He married his high school sweetheart, Laura Lee Fleming, and from this union two children were born, Peggy R. Fabino, Gulfport, Mississippi, and Richard A. Raiford, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Born and reared in a family dedicated to the service of Cod, Fred H. Raiford, Jr., was at al I times a devoted church worker and at the time of his passing was Chairman of the Board of Deacons, Grace Baptist Church, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. From an occupational standpoint, he had no limits. Fred H. Raiford, )r. worked successfully as a salesman, in an industrial supervisory capacity, and finally, for his last 26 years, as a Deputy Sheriff for the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office, as Comptroller and Chief Civil Deputy. His accomplishments and respect as Chief Civil Deputy were best reflected by the great number of law enforcement vehicles in his funeral procession (numbering 32) representing eleven separate law enforcement agencies. His Masonic history will reflect that he was initiated, passed and raised in 1948 in Fairfields Lodge No. 425, F. & A.M., serving as Worshipful Master in 1954 and as Secretary of the Lodge from 1955 continuously to the date of death. He was a Past Patron of Fairfields Chapter No. 211,0.E.S.; a member of the Royal Order of Scotland; Past Master of the 13th Masonic District Lodge; a Charter member of Imad Grotto, (Al-Azar), Mystic Order of the Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm; a member of Jerusalem Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S., and Baton Rouge Shrine Club; a member of Is- trouma Chapter No. 92, R.A.M., Istrouma Council No. 33, R. & S.M., and Istrouma Commandery No. 28, Knights Templar. He was a member of the Ancient and Ac- cepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Valley of Baton Rouge, being coroneted a 33rd degree Inspector General Honorary in 1975. Additionally, he served as Secretary of all four Scottish Rite Bodies, Baton Rouge Consistory for a period in excess of 15 years. He was a Past Member of the Advisory Board, Order of Rainbow for Girls, having been presented the Grand Cross of Color, and was also the recipient of the Legion of Honor, Order of the DeMolay. Having assumed the Office of Grand Master of Masons in Louisiana during an unrestful period, Fred H. Raiford, Jr. met the challenge, served the craft in a highly commendable manner, and with a capacity not possessed by any other individual. Fred H. Raiford, Jr. was tall in stature, big of heart, a fair but firm leader, and waded into troubled waters without fear and with but one resolution - to be of service to Freemasonry according to the dictates of the Great Architect of the Universe. His task was made easier by a tremendous following of devoted friends but his accomplishments resulted mostly from a love of Masonry, extreme courage under trying circumstances, and, most importantly, from an infectious personality which caused everyone who had contact with him to immediately succumb to his personal warmth and charm. In 1975, he inherited a most undesirable task, that of removing dissention and restoring brotherly love. He fulfilled his task without fear of the critics and certainly never entertained any thought as to where any credit might fall. He knew his task and, not being a timid soul, his goal was achieved and all Freemasons in this grand jurisdiction are the legatees of his achievements. It is extremely difficult to descriptively capture in words the exceptionally outstanding role fulfilled by Fred H. Raiford, Jr. and to properly commit to perpetuity an adequate resume of his warm and friendly qualities. It has been written that the greatest memorials are not made of granite or steel and that they are not created from any substance erodible or subject to the ravages of wind and rain. Longfellow, perhaps wrote the most appropriate tribute in the following words: Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, I 14 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Footprints, leading from the past To the future. STEVEN ARCHIE EVANS

On August 6, 1984 the Supreme Master took from our midst our dear friend Right Worshipful Brother Steven Archie Evans. Although we are saddened by loneliness, we are gladened with him in our knowledge that he has passed from the turmoils of this world into a place of eternal peace and is now serving with Him who said "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die". Brother Evans was born on January 29,1902 at Rosepine, La., the third son of the late Thomas Mattison and Mary Smith Evans. He was brought up in the primitive Baptist faith. He graduated from Rosepine High School and attended Northwestern State University. He taught school in Vernon Parish for five years and was also basketball coach for three years. He then left teaching to become an employee of the postal service in DeRidder where he was employed until his retirement in 1962. On May 6,1927 he married Eva Frances Ford of Leesville. They have four daughters, Marilyn Spurgeon, Marjorie Turner, Kathryn Vaughn, and Carol Simmons and one son, Dr. Archie Ray Evans. They have eighteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Brother Evans received his Blue Lodge Degrees in Rosepine Lodge No. 290 in 1924. Served that Lodge as Worshipful Master in 1929. Demitted to DeRidder Lodge No. 271 in 1935 where he served as Worshipful Master in 1939,1944, and 1959. He served as District Deputy Grand Master of the 10th Masonic District. During his term of office, he organized the 10th Masonic District Lodge. He held a Certificate of Proficiency since 1936. He was Grand Representative to the Grand Lodge of Turkey. On November 9, 1924 he was exalted as Royal Arch Mason in Hines Chapter No. 54 and served as High Priest in 1936, 1937, 1939 and 1953. He was Grand Rep- resentative of the Grand Chapter to New Hampshire. He received the Order of High Priesthood in 1936. On October 28, 1944, he was greeted as a Royal and Select Mason in Fullerton Council No. 26 Cryptic Masons. Served as Illustrious Master of Louis B. Frusha Council U.D. in 1946 and affiliated as a Charter member in DeRidder to become its first Illustrious Master. He served as the Most Illustrious Grand Master of Cryptic Masons of the State of Louisiana in 1960. He was Grand Representative of the Grand Council of New Mexico. He received the Order of the Silver Trowel in 1950. He was a member of Rhodes Commandery No. 17 Knights Templar and served as Commander in 1959. In October 1956 he received the degrees of Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Lake Charles. On November 6,1971 he received his Knight Comman- der of the Court of Honor and received his 33rd degree Inspector General Honorary on December 6,1975. OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 15

He was a member and Past Soverign of Ouachita Conclave Red Cross of Con- stantine, a member of Holy Royal Arch Knights Templar Priests, John of Patmos Tabernacle No. 42; Knights of York Cross of Honor, Louisiana Priory No. 43; and Knights Templar Cross of Honor. He was a member of Pinehurst Chapter No. 33 Order of the Eastern Star. He was a Shriner and a member of Habibi Temple A.A.O.N.M.S. He served many years on the Advisory Council for the Order of Rainbow for Girls. Most of all, Brother Evans was known for his great work that he did as Grand Lecturer of the Grand Lodge where he served for twenty-one years. Brother Evans was one of the strongest columns of the Masonic fraternity. In all of these accomplishments we can see the signs that determine a great man and Mason. A man with whom you may agree or with whom you may disagree but regardless of which it might be, we must recognize that all he did was that of a man of principle. . As we mourn the passing of this Brother, we can see the great possessions that were his, those which make up the fullness of life which he learned at the altar. Those of the spiritual qualities of faith, hope, charity, patience and moral integrity which has marked his station with God, with his brethren and made him a devoted family man.

ADDRESS OF GRAND MASTER

To The Officers And Members Of The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Of The State Of Louisiana, Free and Accepted Masons:

It is my great pleasure to welcome all members of our Grand Lodge to New Orleans for the One Hundred Seventy-Fourth Annual Communication, and to you, our most distinguished guests, I extend my sincere appreciation to you for being present. I trust that your visit with us will prove to be beneficial as well as enjoyable. Many in attendance have heard me state that I consider my election to serve as your Grand Master to be one of the greatest honors in my life. Considering the many duties and responsibilities of the office which I have endeavored to fill during the past year, I have certainly enjoyed each moment to the fullest extent. Aside from the fact that in several Constituent Lodges some minor disagreements have developed, the entire year can be characterized as one of peace and harmony throughout our Fraternity. I am of the opinion that we have made great strides in putting behind us all thoughts of regional and sectional differences within our Grand jurisdiction. It was my goal to serve as Grand Master to all Masons in Louisiana, and whenever a visit was made to any part of the State, I found devoted members of the Craft who expressed their belief in good fellowship toward all. Thank you, one and all, for joining together in such a splendid effort. Our Fraternity can now move ahead assured of full cooperation from all members. Each Grand Master honestly believes that he has had the very best team of individuals he could assemble, and of course, I am no exception. I do believe that the Grand Lodge Officers, the Past Grand Masters, the Board Members, the Committee Members as wel I as the entire Grand Lodge Staff have done an exceptional job during 1984. The support given to me has been truly outstanding. The Masters, Wardens, and Brethern of the Constituent Lodges have assisted in creating an atmosphere of enthusiasm and a spirit of cooperation which seems to have permeated throughout our Grand Jurisdic- tion. There is no doubt in my mind that this expression of good fellowship will grow under our new Grand Master. The many acts of kindness displayed to me, as well as the professional manner in which all activities were handled, will always be remembered by me with great appreciation. Now that my tenure is completed, I offer my future services to this Grand Lodge of Masons for whatever task you believe me capable of performing in return for the wonderful opportunity which you have extended to me during the year 1984. To my lady, Edna, I thank you publicly for yor love and affection; and I want you to know that I deeply appreciate not only your encouragement but also your assistance. You may now return to your club activities and golf game with my thanks for your many sacrifices. If the work done this year has been helpful to Freemasonry, then we have achieved something. If it has not been helpful, then I shall always be disappointed that I was not capable of better work. I do have the opinion that the response to improve things in our Grand Lodge is an indication that some progress has been made during the year I984.1 close my remarks by expressing my sincere appreciation to each and every one who made a contribution to this effort. Following is an accounting of the Grand Lodge activities during the past twelve months. 28 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

NECROLOGY

During the past year we have been saddened by the unexpected passing of two Past Grand Masters. M:W: Brother J. Luther Jordan died at Mansfield, Louisiana on March II, 1984. The Masonic Service was conducted by W. Brother Virgil Roby Aubrey. On April 5,1984 we were informed of the death of M:W: Brother Fred H. Raiford at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Masonic Service was conducted by M:W: Brother Howard M. Sigler, P.G.M. On Feruary 1,1984, W:Brother August H. Lentz passed to the great beyond. He was the manager of the Masonic Temple building for many years, and an excellent worker in our Craft. On August 6,1984, R:W: S. Archie Evans, Grand Lecturer Emeritus, passed away at De Ridder, Louisiana. The funeral service was conducted by R:W: Julius W. Pool, Grand Lecturer. On July 22,1984, R:W: Roy G. Stockton, Jr., District Deputy Grand Master of the 18th Masonic District passed away at New Orleans, Louisiana. His many years of service to Masonry will be remembered. Brothers Jordan, Raiford, Lentz, Evans and Stockton had lived fully and with distinction in their every station in life. Each has left his mark in our beloved Craft. We mourn the passing of many other Masonic brothers who have departed this earth to go to their reward. May they be granted eternal peace with the Great Architect. An appropriate memorial service will be conducted by the Necrology Committee for our departed brethren.

STATE OF THE ORDER

M:W: Brother James H. King, P.G.M., started his State of the Order message with a quote which read: "Masonic leadership is the art of changing a Lodge from what it is-to what it should be." In many of the other Grand Jurisdictions there seems to exist a tendency by their Masonic Leadership to maintain a status quo; however, I am proud to report to you that the Masonic leadership in the State of Louisiana does not fall into this category. It has been said that nothing is as permanent as change, and progress demands change. The many changes which have been made in our Grand Jurisdiction over the past several years have produced excellent results and I am of the opinion that changes will prove to be even more beneficial in the future. As a result of my attendance at the Conference of Grand Masters in North America, the Southeastern Masonic Conference, several Annual Communications in sister Grand Jurisdictions, and comparing conditions of Freemasonry in Louisiana with other States, I am very pleased with our status. We are making progrss and moving forward in many of our endeavors. There seems to be a strong under-current of enthusiasm throughout our Grand Jurisdiction, and this bodes well for our future. In addition, this enthusiasm is a fine tribute to all Masons in our State, and especially for those who are in positions of leadership. It has been my distinct pleasure to make many visits to the Constituent Lodges as well s many other Masonic organizations throughout the State of Louisiana. I have been cordially received on each occasion, and I certainly appreciate the many courtesies extended to me, to the Grand Lodge Officers, and to our wives.

Thank you OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 29

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS

The District Deputy Grand Masters have served us exceptionally well during my tenure as Grand Master. Several Lodges have experiencd some internal difficulties and the Deputies involved responded in an excellent manner to assist in solving the problems. The reports submitted to me have been a valuable asset in determining the status of our Craft for the year 1984. The Advance Report submitted by M:W: Brother D. Walter Jessen, P.G.M. for the year 1979 indicated that the selection of District Deputy Grand Masters by the "rotation" systems does not always produce the best results. He suggested that the District Lodge members make their recommendation to the Grand Master based on a Brother's past services, his ability, the amount of time he has to devote to his office, and his love of the Craft. I concur. On behalf of the Grand Lodge and the Masons of the Grand Jurisdiction, I extend sincere congratulations to the District Deputy Grand Masters who have represented us so well this year. You have been a very valuable asset in 1984.

GRAND LECTURERS

The Grand Lecturers, R:W: Junius B. Sharp and R:W: Julius B. Pool have continued to perform their duties in a very efficient and proficient manner during the past year. The workshops which they have conducted were excellent, and interest in proficiency has increased to the extent that we have signed over 250 Certificates of Proficiency during 1984. The Masons of the Grand Jurisdiction thank you both for your dedication and hard work. MASONIC HOME FOR CHILDREN AND GRAND MASTER'S HOMECOMING

The Grand Master's Homecoming was held on Sunday, May 20, 1984, and although the weather was inclement in many sections of Louisiana, there was a large number of people in attendance. The program was a great success and I extend my sincere appreciation to W: Brother Eugene F. Love, P.M.; W: Brother Clarence Filipi,P.M.; Co-Chairmen and the entire committee for their outstanding effort in making the Homecoming such a success. In addition, we extend our thanks to Dr. J.D. Scott for his inspiring message. The Order of the Eastern Star held its Annual Pilgrimage to the Masonic Home on Sunday, September 23, 1984. Due to a conflict in schedule I was unable to attend; however, R:W: Ray W. Burgess, Deputy Grand Master represented the Grand Lodge at this program. The Order of the Eastern Star has always supported our Masonic Home for Children and we sincerely appreciate this generous assistance. Brother Harold Moye, Superintendent of the Masonic Home, and his staff continue to give dedicated and devoted service to our children. We are all indebted to them for the guidance and direction given to our children. MASONIC HOME EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION

The Masonic Home Education Foundation is supported by voluntary contributions with the interest from the monies in the Foundation used to assist young people in gaining an education at institutions of their choice. An Annual Report of the Board of trustees is contained in this Advance Report. OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 45

MASONIC HOME ENDOWNMENT FUND

The Masonic Home Endownment Fund continues to grow at a slow, but steady rate. The goal is to fully endow the home with the aid of your gifts, contributions and bequeaths. Please review your finances and if possible support the program to endow the home with your gifts; and you should consider a bequeath in your last will and testament for this purpose. The "penny a day" program for the Endowment Fund is progressing very well and many Lodges send memorials to the Endowment Fund in lieu of send ing flowers in memory of a deceased Brother.

MASONIC EDUCATION

Congratulations are extended to W: Brother Thomas A. Wilson, P.M., Chairman of the Masonic Education Committee, not only for his outstanding work with the achievement award program, but for his effort in working with the Permanent Committee on Work in updating the Masonic Education Brochure. This publication should be ready for distribution in the near future.

HIGH SCHOOL AWARDS PROGRAM

The Honesty and Integrity Awards Program for High School students was again under the capable leadership of Co-Chairmen W: Brother D.L. Aldridge, P.M., and W: Brother Malcolm A. Ballard, P.M. This is a splendid program which affords every Lodge and every Mason an opportunity to engage in a public relations effort for the youth of our State. In the event your Lodge does not participate and you desire to start a program, please contact the Co-Chai rmen and let them i nform you about the excel lent program used by Humble Cottage Lodge No. 19, and other programs used throughout Louisiana.

MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING

The report of the Board of Directors, Grand Lodge Hall is included in the annual report. The Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, under the leadership of W: Brother Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., P.M. are to be commended for the manner in which they have conducted the affairs of your Masonic Temple building and your Masonic Cemetery in New Orleans. After the passing of W: Brother August Lentz, P.M., the Building Manager, the Committee hired W: Brother Bowdre McDowell, P.M. to manage the building. He has performed his duties beyond our expectations, and we thank him for assuming this responsibility at a very difficult time.

LOUISIANA WORLD EXPOSITION

The Masons of Louisiana repsonded beyond expectation to an appeal for contributions which were to be used to fund a hospitality suite for visitors to the Fair. The resuIts were excellent, and the hospitality suite was opened on May 12, 1984. It remained open through November 11, 1984. The New Orleans International Hotel furnished a suite without charge and the facility served its purpose with great success. The Masons of Louisiana thank the Hotel management for this act of kindness. W: Brother Robert A. Love, P.M., General Chairman, the entire committee as well as the many volunteers who manned the su ite each day are to be commended for the many hours spent on this worthwhile project. We have received many favorable comments about this public 46 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE relations event from Masonic Brothers who reside in all regions of the U.S.A. Any funds which remain when the suite is closed will be disbursed to the various Masonic charities which your Grand Lodge supports. Thanks to one and all.

LOUSIANA FREEMASON

W: Brother Robert A. Love, P.M. has served as Chairman and Editor of this excellent publication. He has collected the material to be published, typed the articles, and in general he has just about conducted a one man show in getting the bulletin to our members. Thank you Bob Love for your dedication, because you have been a real asset to our Grand Lodge in 1984. ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF GRAND MASTERS

The annual Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America met in the Red Lion Inn, at Seattle, Washington on February 19-22, 1984. The Louisiana delegation consisted of M:W: James M. Walley, G.M.; R:W: Ray W. Burgess, D.G.M.; R:W: Clifford A. Bradley, G.S.W.: R:W: Lewis J. Faciane, G.J.W.; R:W: Delwin P. Laguens, G.S.; M:W: D. Walter Jessen, P.G.M., S.G.I.G.; M:W: Thomas T. Elkins, P.G.M.; and M:W: Peter L. Bernard, Jr., P.G.M. Several papers were presented by members of the Conference and Four discussion groups were held during the course of the Conference. The papers and the discussion groups were very informative, interesting and included the following four subjects: 1. Relation of Grand Lodge to Concordant and Appendant Bodies. 2. Masonic Education (for member and non-member). 3. Grand Lodge Operation. 4. Public Relations Committees. Favorable comments were made about our Grand Jurisdiction's use of the Louisiana Masonic Coordinating Cabinet, and the Honesty and Integrity Award Program. Several Grand Masters requested and it was my great pleasure to mail information on both programs to them for future use in their State. Many of the Grand Masters were pleased to learn of the Masonic Hospitality Suite in the New Orleans International Hotel during the Louisiana World Exposition. A Packet of information on the Exposition and an Exposition lapel pin were presented to each Grand Master in attendance.

SOUTHEASTERN MASONIC CONFERENCE

The 24th Southeastern Masonic Conference met in the Marriott Hotel at Atlanta, Georgia on August 2-4,1984. There was no central theme for the Conference and the program consisted of reports on Freemasonry in the Jurisdiction which have membership in the Southeastern Masonic Conference. The States included are Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana. A paper on "Changes on Louisiana Masonry" was presented by your Grand Master. The Louisiana delegation consisted of M:W: James M. Walley, G.M.; R:W: Ray W. Burgess, D.G.M.; R:W: Clifford A. Bradley, G.S.W.; R:W: Lewis J. Faciane, G.J.W.; R:W: Delwin P. Laguens, G.S.; M:W: Dr. E. R. Minchew, P.G.M.; W: Brother Larry Plaisance, Grand Marshal; W: Brother Eugene A. Wagner, Jr.; Grand Senior Deacon; W: Brother Evans M. Ballard, Grand Junior Deacon; W: Brother John W. Gazave, Grand Tyler; W: Brother Malcom A. Ballard, Grand Photographer; and W: Brother Thomas A. Wilson, Chairman, Masonic Education Committee. OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 47

This annual conference through an exchange of ideas, plus the fellowship which exists among the members is most beneficial, not only to the members attending the Conference, but also to Masonry in general.

In order to assure that a local historical record will be available in future years, I issued the following edict:

WHEREAS,The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F.&A.M. opens in Emergent Communication throughout the State of Louisiana for many purposes; and WHEREAS, the only minutes of record for such activities as Cornerstone Ceremonies; Constituting Lodges; Grand Lodge Funerals;, etc., are recorded and maintained by the Grand Secretary; and,

WHEREAS, JAMES M. WALLEY,Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the State of/ Louisiana, F.& A.M., for the year 1984-85, desires to have a permanent record of such activities recorded and maintained by a Constituent Lodge, as well as by the Grar Lodge, for the various activities:

NOW THEREFORE:

When the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F.& A.M. opens in Emergent Communications for the dispatch of business, a Constituent Lodge in the area where theGrand Lodge opens shall be granted dispensation to open for the special purpose of recording the minutes of the Emergent Communication as an additional historic record of the event.

JAMES M. WALLEY GRANDMASTER

CONCLUSION

My brethren, we are at the eve of the 174th Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge, and we are at the end of my tenure as your Grand Master. During the past year I have based all of my decisions, rulings and orders on what I believed best for our beloved Fraternity. I have received excellent advice from the Past Grand Masters, various committee members and the brethren. I extend my thanks for their valuable assistance.

Before the conclusion of our Annual Communication we will elect a new Grand Master, and I trust that you will give him as much support as you have given to me. I shall then return to a position as one of the Masonic Brothers with the opportunity to 48 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE repay our Grand Lodge for the great honor which has been conferred upon me and Lee. E. Thomas Lodge No 421, F.& A.M.

Sincerely and Fraternally

SOUTHEASTERN MASONIC CONFERENCE

The Southeastern Masonic Conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia with the Grand Lodge of George as the host Grand Lodge and many of our officers attended, namely M:W: Grand Master James M. Walley, R:W: Ray W. Burgess, Deputy Grand Master, R:W: Clifford A Bradley, Grand Senior Warden, R:W: Lewis J. Faciane, Grand Junior Warden, W: Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., Grand Senior Deacon, W: Larry J. Plaisance, Grand Marshall, W: John Gazave, Grand Tyler, W: Evans M. Ballard, Grand Junior Deacon, along with Past Grand Master, E. R. Minchew, W: Malcolm A. Ballard, Grand Photographer, Thomas A. Wilson, Chairman, Masonic Education Comm., and yours truly Delwin P. Laguens, Grand Secretary.

COMMISSION CARDS AND CERTIFICATES

Commission cards and certificates are authorized to be issued to all elected and appointed officers as well as committeemen and holders of proficiency certificates, indicating their election or appointment as such. This was done in the early part of the year.

TWENTY—FIVE AND FIFTY YEAR CERTIFICATES

The Grand Lodge is authorized to issue twenty-five and fifty year membership certificates to all members in good standing in Lodges of our jurisdiction when they have attained twenty-five or fifty years accumulative, but not necessarily continuous good standing in the Masonic Fraternity. No such certificate will be predated to permit premature presentation. These certificates are prepared by the Grand Lodge Office, based on the computer run, which we receive and issue tothe various Lodges. This past year we prepared 91 fifty year certificates and 1448 twenty-five year certificates.

CENTENNIAL PLAQUES

There were no centennial plaques issued this year.

DATA PROCESSING

Our computer system is working quite well. The majority of our programs that have been written have given us very reliable reports throughout the year. The coding of monthly reports and the delays in sending in the same by the Secretaries continues to be the heaviest workload for our office. It is essential that Lodge Officers also take an interest in seeing that these reports are submitted on time so that we can correct the machine produced rosters sent to each Lodge in January of each year. List of suspensions and expulsions are sent to each District Lodge in the State and other Masonic Bodies for their review. In order for dues cards to show P.M., Sr., Jr., or III in the proper place, it will be necessary for the Secretary of each Lodge to go through his own roster and make the corrections on a "Correction or Change of Name" form. This way, when the dues cards are prepared this information will appear in the right place on the card, after the name. It would be a tremendous help if all Secretaries would make a special effort to review their rosters and send them back to us with all corrections. We hope everyone will understand and will help us to improve our programming. 58 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

TAXES FORM 990-ANNUAL INFORMATION RETURN

All Lodges are reminded that the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. & A.M. and its constituent Lodges are exempt from the payment of income tax. However, under the provisions of the tax reform act of 1969, Lodges are now required to file annual information return Form No. 990, "Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax". Since the enactment of the tax reform act of 1969, the IRS now considers this transition period to be over, and the penalties for failure to file Form 990 on the required due dates, which is May 15,1985 is $10.00 per day for each day the report is late up to a maximum of $5,000.00. Lodges with gross receipts of less than $25,000.00 may simply state on the face of Form No. 990; Gross Receipts Tax includes all income form every source, including dues, degree fees, rents, royalties, interest, dividends, donation, and building fund contribution. The May 15th due date is for Lodges using calender year accounting periods, that is January 1st through December 31st inclu- sive. All of our Lodges in this state use this period. The IRS does not automatically mail forms to the Lodges. It is the responsibi I ity for the Lodge to secure form and prepare and send it. Generally, after one Form No. 990 is filed, a form is automatically mailed to the lodge each year. Returns should be mailed to the Internal Revenue Service, Austin, Texas 73301. Our Lodges are exempt from tax under Section 501(0(10) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition to the above, the G.E.N. or Group Exemption Number of the Grand Lodge is 0144 and should be shown on any of the Form 990's completed by the Lodge. The original group exemption Letter was dated October 5, 1940.

EMPLOYMENT TAXES

Exemption from income tax does not relieve the Lodge from liability for Social Security Taxes or other applicable employment taxes are required. Smaller Lodges who employ a Secretary or any other employee not in a full time capacity and who either remit his dues and/or pay him a token salary would not generally be liable for employment taxes, unless such salary is $50 or more in a calendar quarter. Larger Lodges employing a Secretary or any other employee at a larger salary are liablefor Social Security on his wages. Such taxes should be forwarded to the Internal Revenue Service each Quarter on Form 941. Federal and State Unemployment Tax must also be paid. You are reminded that social security taxes are 6.70 percent. In addition, federal unemployment tax is .8 percent and state unemployment tax rate should be furnished by the State Office.

STATE AND LOCAL SALES TAX

Lodges are not exempt from payment of State and Local Sales Tax on their purchases. Lodges do hot collect any taxes or make any reports concerning sales tax, however, exemption from income tax does not apply to sales tax.

HANDBOOK OF MASONIC LAW

The revisions for 1984 were published as approved. Each Constituent Lodge and OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 59

Grand Lodge officers received a copy and many individuals has purchased same. They are available from our Masonic Service Committee for $1.25, plus postage.

MASONIC DIRECTORY

The annual Masonic Directory was published and will continue to be published in the future. It contains the list of Lodges in various arrangements for reference purposes. It also contains the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Masters and Secretaries, plus meeting nights and locations; and the Committee and Boards of the Grand Lodge. One copy is furnished initially to Lodges and additional copies may be purchased for $2.50 plus postage. The Lodge Secretary and Worshipful Master should review the line entry for his own Lodge and be assured we have printed it correctly. Remember this information comes from your Officers Sheets which you submit at the beginning of the year.

APPRECIATION

As in the past years, I am indebted to our Grand Lodge Office Staff, Mrs. Anna Bel Kelley, Mrs.Mary Crouch, Mrs.Marion Rosenzweig, and Brother Dave Walsdorf, Bookkeeper, for the fine service they render to our Grand Lodge. I also extend my thanks to the Committeemen and Officers of the Grand Lodge for their assistance and cooperation during the year.

CONCLUSION

All accounts have been audited by the firm of Pepperman, Emboulas, Schwartz and Todaro, Certified Public Accountants and report will be made a part of the proceedings. To the Lodge Secrtaries I offer my heartfelt thanks. As always, you are the ones who make my job easier, because of your cooperation and unselfish devotion to our Craft.

BOARD OP BUDGET AND CONTROL 1985

Most Worshipful Grand Master and Brethren:

The Board of Budget and Control is pleased to submit this report to the 1985 Session of the Grand Lodge. Receipts for 1984 were $7,615.91 above the budget you approved and disbursements were $7,815.22 below budget. These are unaudited figures, but should change very little. The 1985 budget is presented for your consideration and approval. Expenditures proposed in this budget are $4,810 below those of the 1984 budget. Budget for stationery and printing was increased $1500 for 1985. This increase is due to itineraries of all Grand Lodge line officers being sent out each month. Your Budget and Control Board blieves this is a worthy expenditure and is beneficial to the Lodges. It is necessary that the present Grand Lodge van be traded on a new van. This is a capital item and is not included in the 1985 operating budget. The new van will be paid for with surplus funds from past years.

To The Officers And Members

The Grand Lodge Of The State Of Louisiana, F. & A. M.

We have examined the combined balance sheet of THE GRAND LODGE OF THE

STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A. H., comprised of the MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING, the

MA.SONIC CEMETERY, the GFAND LODGE OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A. M., the

PARAPHERNALIA and LODGE EQUIPMENT DEPARTMENT, the BOARD OF CHARITIES AND

BENEVOLENCE, the SPECIAL PURPOSE FUND, the LOUISIANA FREEMiSON, the WORLD'S

FAIR ACTIVITIES FUND and the STATUE OF LIBERTY FUND at December 31, 1984 and

the related statements of operations and changes in financial position for the

year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally

accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the

accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered

necessary in the circumstances.

In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly

the financial position of the Grand Lodge Of The State Of Louisiana, F. & A. M.

at December 31, 1984, and the results of its operations and the changes in its

financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with generally

accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the

preceding year.

We also examined the statement of receipts and expenditures of the Board

Of Charities And Benevolence, the Special Purpose Fund, the 1984 Worlds Fair 84 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

Activities Fund and the Statue Of Liberty Fund for the year ended December 31,

1984.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of receipts and expenditures

of the Board Of Charities And Benevolence, the Special Purpose Fund, the 1984

Worlds Fair Activities Fund and the Statue Of Liberty Fund for the year ended

December 31, 1984 presents fairly the cash transactions arising during the year

then ended, on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Our examination was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the

basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying schedules C-l,

C-2, C-3, D-l, D-2, £-1, E-2, E-3, G-l and G-2 are presented for purposes of

additional analysis and are not a required part of the basis financial state-

ments. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied

in the examination of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion is

fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial

statements taken as a whole.

To the Board of Trustees of Masonic Home for Children of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, F.& A.M.

We have examined the balance sheet of Masonic Home for Children of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, F.& A.M., as of November 30, 1984, and the related statements of revenue, expense, transfers, and changes in fund balance for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

Adequate records are not available to satisfy ourselves as to the historical cost of certain fixed assets acquired prior to December 1, 1972. Most of these assets were acquired from 1922 to 1960. It was not practical to extend audit procedures to enable us to express an opinion of the fair presentation of fixed assets on the balance sheet. •

Except as noted in the preceding paragraph, in our opinion, the financial stace- aents referred to above present fairly the financial position of Masonic Hone for Children of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, F.& A.M., as of November 30, 1984, and the results of its operations and changes in fund balance for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year..

REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGE HALL BOARD

M:W: Brother D. Allen Long, P.G.M., Secretary of the Grand Lodge Hall Board, reported that we had a good year even though there were some restrictions involving leases in the building. He reported that the time for the option to buy the building by American Diversified had expired and the Board received the $75,000.00 required. He also stated if the Company comes up with the $7,051.000.00, the Board will sell the building to them. He also stated they were expecting other proposals, but no written proposal had been received. Brother Long moved that Brother Ray W. Burgess, who will be the incoming Grand Master be authorized to sign the act of sale of the Masonic Temple Building, if the building is sold this year. This was approved. It was moved that the Board be authorized to sell the Kellertown Lodge Hall building, which includes two lots and Lodge Building for $1800.00. This was approved by aye vote.

REPORT OF GRAND LECTURER - Julius W. Pool

It has been a pleasure and a privilege to serve as j>rand Lecturer in this Grand Jurisdiction. I wish to thank the officers and members of the Constituent Lodges, The Grand Lodge Officers, and everyone who has helped me in any way. I wish to thank those who have traveled with me on long trips. I have been able to observe a great improvement in many areas as I have traveled across the state. I have issued many new certificates and many more renewals. I am grateful for the wonderful work done by the District Deputy Grand Lecturers in organizing and setting up workshops and assisting inconducting them. Many of them have done a great job. I wish to thank the Grand Lodge Officers for their presence and assistance in a number of these workshops. I have enjoyed a wonderful working relationship with all the Grand Lodge Officers during my tenure. I thank all the Certificate Associations and their Officers and members for the fine work they are doing. They are real dedicated Masons and deserve the praise of all of us. Again I wish to thank everyone who has helped in any way to promote the work and to make my job a little more pleasant. All good things must come to an end.I regret that this has to be the end of my tenure as Grand Lecturer. It has been a pleasure to serve in this capacity. May the Supreme Architect of the Universe continue to bless each and everyone of you.

REPORT OF GRAND LECTURER JUNIUS B. SHARP My Brethren: In this report I am reporting not only my activities during the past year; I am giving you a brief summary of my efforts toward Improving the ritualistic work of our Grand Jurisdiction during the thirty-six years I have served as one of your Grand Lecturers. During the past twelve months I hav^ taught the work as usual. All the lodges in my normal Jurisdiction have been visited—some individually and eome In groups. Most lodges have been afforded the opportunity of at least two visits. More than 150 Certificates have been issued tc this date. Quite a number of Educational Workshops were conducted during the year, with good attendance In most cases. I was first elected Grand Lecturer in 19^9. After studying the ritual the two Grand Lecturers saw the need for a number of clarifications, so we met with thD Permanent Com- mittee on Work and the Grand Master and had a very rewarding session. In Iy52 I was the only Grand Lecturer for the greater part of the year. The Grand Lodge sent ate as an observer to the annual meeting of the Mid West Education Association held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This was a real educational experience for me as a young Grand Lecturer. I taught the work over the entire State in 1952, but before visiting the South Louisiana lodges I met with the Committee on Work, with Brother John Burgess as chairman, and we agreed on all floor movements not already covered in the ritual. We continued working together and, in 1953 when Brother Burgess was elected Grand Lecturer, he was my guest for several days while we held meetings and exemplified all the floor work to his satisfaction and nine. The degree work as the Grand Lecturers were teaching It was approved by the Grand Lodge at the 1954 annual Grand Communi- cation. Since that time I have consistently taught this Grand Lodge-approved work to the best cf my ability. All floor movements are laid out in the ritual, there for anyone to follow.

1953 was a busy year for Brother Burgescs and me. We devised the plural language for taklr.g two or more candidates at a time in the Fellow Craft and Master Mason degrees. This work was subsequently approved by Grand Lodge. 'We requested and received copies of Masonic lectures from all over the State. These had to be edited and In aoir.e cases re-written, and we published the first edition of the little Masonic Lectures booklet. It has been lcproved and added to fro re time to time, and has been an Invaluable idjunct In the conferring 158 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

and enhancing of our degrees. During this year of 1953 Brother Burgess and I revised the Louisiana Monitor. This was a monumental task and we were gratified that this work was well- received by the brethren. In 1964 the Grand Lecturers assisted in preparing copy for the first Issue of the Educational Bulletin. It was my pleasure to contribute several articles for this much- needed booklet. In 1973 I was elected, along with several others, by the Grand Lodge to re-write the Handbook of Law. I spent many hourB, days in fact, on this project, but it was a labor of love because I was working with Brother Woodrow A. Downs, chairman of the committee. This Grand Lodge has been extremely fortunate to have such an ardent and dedicated worker as Woodrow Downs. " In 1977 I was requested by Grand Master E. R. Mlnchew to re-write the Handbook for Lodge Officers. This task was accomplished with the assistance of M. W. Brother L. V. Noles and W: Cecil Franklin Easley, Jr. This booklet has been widely used by our brethren. This same year Brother Mlnchew, Brother Thomas A. Wilson and I revised the Education Bulletin. My Brethren, as we begin a new system of teaching the ritualistic work, I have this observation: We have some excellent and well-informed brethren on the Permanent Committee on Work as well as proficient District Lecturers and Certifi- cate Lecturers, and if these brethren will work as I believe they will, we should have no problem. My promise to them and all of you is that I will do anything I can to assist them.

As I conclude my tenure of thirth-slx years as Grand Lecturer I am a bit nostalgic, having come to love and respect so many of you. I covet your prayers and best wishes, and I sincerely promise that I will continually pray for you and Freemasonry In general in tthet State of Louisiana.

Until we meet again. Cordially and fraternally,

B. Sharp, Grand Lecturer

REPORT OF BOARD OF CHARITIES AND BENEVOLENCES

Before making the report of your Board, it is the consensus of opinion of the Board that, in the interest of Masonic information, a brief review of the criteria and guide lines for re-imbursement of 50% of monies expended by the Lodges and for re-imbursement of Grand Lodge dues and assesments should be forthcoming.

Every constituent Lodge should set aside each year not less than $100.00 to be used for charitable purposes. The Lodge then may apply to the Board for re-imbursement. All applications must be made no later than 1 year from date aid was granted and then to members in good standing of the Lodge making application, or their widows, children and orphans. This is clearly reflected in the Grand Lodge proceedings of 1977. In the proceedings of 1983 on page 235 the Board approved a motion that ,and I auote "Whenever a Lodge waives all dues for a member who is ill, disabled, unable to work or is in a financial difficulty, our Board will consider reimbursement of all Grand Lodge dues and assessments, upon application for each member on proper form stating reasons for waiver End quote.

The key to this(my Brethren,is.will consider -as you can readily understand. In no way is it intended to relieve the constituent Lodges of their responsibility and if a Lodge is in it self financially able to waive a worthy brothers dues, it should not expect re-imbursement from the Board. We know you can appreciate this when you realize we have some 285 Lodges with a membership in excess of 42,000.

May we re-emphasize: All applications must be made on regular form as furnished by the Grand Lodge-filled out in its entirety and must be submitted within 1 year. We trust we have enlightened you to some degree as to the function of your Board and as to requirements for application. Let us never forget that Charity is the very cornerstone of our great fraternity and that it is the brighest jewel in the Masonic Crown. Brethren in view of the fact that many of you might not have readily available,nor have opportunity to study Grand Lodge Pro- ceedings each year, we, the Board, whole-heartedly endorse Resolution No. 4 and solicit your'support and aDproval. And now for the report. 160 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

Statement of income and expenses were reviewed. It was noted expenditures ex- ceeded income in the amount of $46.23. However, it was the consensus of the Board that the financial situation is in excellent condition. The Board was advised that Brother Fendlason whose term expires, would not seek reelection. The following applications were received and reviewed individually with the following results voted unanimously by the Board: Mansfield Lodge No. 250, approved $150 reimbursement. Denham Springs Lodge No. 297, approved $250.00, reimbursement. Ferriday Lodge No. 390, approved $50.00 reimbursement. West Monroe Lodge No. 419, approved $375.00 reimbursement. Fair Park Lodge No. 436, approved $50.00 reimbursement. St. Charles Lodge No. 445, approved $50.00 reimbursement. Pearl Lodge No. 456, approved $400.00 reimbursement. Sun Lodge No. 336, approved $45.00 for Grand Lodge dues and assessments. Fair Park Lodge No. 436, approved $45.00 for Grand Lodge dues and assessments.

Disapproved Doric Lodge No. 205 for $200.00 reimbursement and one for $50.00. Disapproved Pine Lodge No. 264 for $126.00 for dues and assessments. Disapproved W.H. Booth Lodge No. 380 for $100.00 and Pearl Lodge No. 456 for $50.00 as they did not meet criteria.

The application of West Monroe Lodge No. 419 for Grand Lodge dues and assessments is to be returned for proper application forms and to be resubmitted, only 1984 dues are applicable. Each Lodge is to be so notified and if the Lodge wishes to appeal the disapprovals, they are to submit new applications with more details surrounding the needs. By vote of the Board on proper motion duly seconded it was agreed to donate a maximum of $5,000.00 to R.M. Crowson Lodge No. 281, whose Lodge was destroyed by fire in 1984. The Lodge did not have any insurance. Said donation is to be made when needed as determined by the Board. Due to the $5000.00 to R.M. Crowson Lodge, it was recommended that no specific donation be made to the Masonic Home for Children until the end of the year. OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 161

Due to apparent misunderstanding of the requirements for the reimbursement of the Grand Lodge dues and assessments waived by the individual Lodges, it was suggested that they refer to the Grand Lodge Proceedings of the Report of the Board of Charities and Benevolences as shown on page 235 in the 1983 Grand Lodge Proceedings. Also, Resolution No. 4 was carefully considered and it was the recommendation of the Board that it be approved, this is in order to better clarify the criteria of the applicant. On motion duly made and seconded and by vote of the Board, approval was granted for the issuance of bank signature cards for the newly elected officers of the Grand Lodge, checks are to require 3 signatures. No further business to come to the Board, meeting was adjourned with prayer by Brother Clyde B. Fulton, P.M.

Report of the Committee on STATE OF THE ORDER

Our Grand Master opened his address with a hearty welcome to members and distinguished guests to this One Hundred Seventy-Fourth Annual Commun- ication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, and expressed hope that each will have an enjoyable and beneficial visit. Acknowledging the honor of having been elected Grand Master, he expressed joy in endeavoring to fulfill the many duties and responsibilities of the office. His goal was to serve as Grand Master to all Masons of Louisiana, and as he visited any part of the state he reported finding devoted members who believe in good fellowship toward all. He pointed out that minor disagreements exist in several constituent Lodges,but is of the opinion that regional and sectional differences have been put behind and that peace and harmony prevail. He believes, as other Grand Masters have felt, that the Grand Lodge Officers, the Past Grand Masters, Board Members, Committee members, and entire Grand Lodge staff constitute the best team one could assemble. He also praised the Masters, Wardens and Brethren of constituent Lodges who have created an atmosphere of enthusiasm and a spirit of cooperation throughout this Grand Jurisdiction. As his tenure is compelted, he offers his future services to this Grand Lodge in whatever task he may be asked to perform. He expressed love and affection to his lady,Edna, with deep appreciation for her encouragement and many sacrifices in her own interests last year.

Regarding State of the Order, Our Grand Master referred to many changes made in our Grand Jurisdiction the past several years which have produced excellent results and he believes these changes will be even more beneficial in the future. In his many visits to sister Grand Jurisdicitons and other Masonic functions outside of Louisiana and discussing and observing conditions of Freemasonry in those states he believes this Grand Jurisdiction is making more visible progress in some areas of Freemasonry than is evident in some of the other states.

Our Grand Master lists 259 days spent in Masonic visitations and related activities. He attended six Annual Grand Communications and seven other out-of-state conferences, etc., for a total of 60 days; attended 82 constituent Lodges; 19 District Lodge meetings; 17 Scottish Rite; 15 York Rite; 10 Shrine; and 13 meeting'sof the Grand Lodge Hall Board; with 43 days devoted to visiting 29 other Masonic and related organizations or activities one or more times.

He officiated at the laying of cornerstones and commemorative plaques at six Lodges and one church; dedicated 6 Lodges; instituted one; constituted one; approved building plans for four Lodges; consolidated two Lodges with two others; and issued two duplicate charters. He made 12 appointments to various boards; granted dispensations to 35 Lodges to hold special elections to fill vacancies due to deaths or resignations, and to ten Lodges to confer degrees either in other jurisdictions or under special circumstances.

He congratulated the District Deputy Grand Masters who represented their respective districts well during the year. He recalled the suggestion by M:W: Brother D. Walter Jessen,P.G.M. 1979 that elections of DDGM's by the "rotation" system does not always produce the best results, and that District Lodges should make their recommendations based on a Brother's past services, his ability, the amount of time he has to devote to his office.and his love for the craft. Our Grand Master concurred in that suggestion. 180 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

He cited the proficient manner in which the two Grand Lecturers performed their duties during 1984, and noted an increase in interest in the work. More than 250 Certificates of Proficiency were issued. The Grand Master's Homecoming at the Masonic Home for Children enjoyed the usual large attendance, even with inclement weather prevailing. Our Grand Master expressed sincere appreciation to leaders and staff, and all those connected with or who support the Home, for their generous assistance. Our Grand Master urged all members to continue support to the Masonic Home Educational Foundation by volunteer contributions, and to the Masonic Home Endowment Fund through the "penny a day" program or other forms of support. The Chairman of the Masonic Education Committee was congratulated for outstanding work with the achievement awards program, and for his work with the Permanent Committee on Work in updating the Masonic Education brochure which should be ready for distribution soon. The Honesty and Integrity awards program for highschool students has many Lodges participating. Our Grand Master urges Lodges which have not participated in this excellent program to give thought to beginning the Honesty and Integrity Awards program in the near future.

The Grand Lodge Hall Board, the General Chairman for the World's Fair hos-itality suite for visitors and the many volunteers who manned the suite, and the Chairman and Editor of the Louisiana Freemason were all commended by our Grand Master for the excellent service rendered in their respective positions. From the foregoing analysis of those sections of the Grand Master's address which were referred to this Committee for review, it is the opinion of this Committee that our Grand Master has rendered a satisfactory accounting of his stewardship during 1984.

Claude J./Bonnecarre,P.M.Joseph A. D. Loftin.P.M. Vernon Dupree,P. M. v Chairman OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 181

W: Brother Thomas A. Wilson, P.M., Chairman, Masonic Education Committee, reported on the progress of his committee. He recommended that each Lodge Wor- shipful Master send a copy of his program in writing to him in order that he might share this program with other Lodges. He also recommended that the Masonic Education Program be continued in 1985, and whatever changes or additions that are to be proposed by the incoming Grand Master, they will be incorporated, and be sent to the Lodges. He requested that the D.D.G.M.'s send in their report for the achievement awards by November 10th. He urged the Lodges to make new goals, plans, and thanked everyone who helped to make this past year a success. He moved that his report be accepted, filed in the minutes and be printed in the proceedings. This was approved. M:W: Grand Master, James M. Walley, spoke on the problems of many Lodges not being present, because of the weather conditions. He stated he spoke with the incoming Grand Master, Brother Ray W. Burgess, and Past Grand Masters about how some of the Lodges would be in jeopardy of receiving their achievement award. Inasmuch as there was a problem beyond the control of some of the delegates in making this Annual Communication, a program was to be set up, whereby the absent Lodges could take on some extra projects, this would allow them to still qualify for the achievement award. The incoming Grand Master has approved this, and he is to set up the program and outlined this program at the breakfast with the incoming Grand Lodge Officers, District Deputy Grand Masters, and District Grand Lecturers. 182 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON GRAND LODGE HIGH SCHOOL AWARD

Report Number Eight Grand Master, my Brethern all.

In the Great Light of Masonry, Matthew 7:7 it states,"Ask and it shall be given you- seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you." THIS MORNING I AM KNOCKING.... Brethern, I ask you this question: WHERE IS THE CONSCIOUS OF A MASON LOCATED? Some would say within the heart. A good Moslem brother would tell you that the heart is but a glorified pump- that the stomach is the source of all true and virtuous inclinations. Has not medical science proved that the heart is a pump, and the stomach and colon one continuous disposal system. Still others will tell you that a Mason's conscious is located within his brain. Science can not prove this. Scientists have located the areas of the brain that enable you to see, smell, taste, hear, and touch- but a man's conscious eludes them.

Brethern,! offer you to this thought to take home with you. "A MASON'S CONSCIOUS RESIDES WITHIN HIS SOUL- AS HIS SOUL IS IMMORTAL SO IS HIS CONSCIOUS." On the Bay of Judgement, each Mason's soul and conscious will stand before his Creator for judgement for deeds done while in the body. Those things which are eternal have value in God's eyes.

For many years a printing salesman called at my office. Invariably before he left (and in the presence of younger men) Bill would ask this question: "D.L. do you know what I would BE if I couldn't be a Mason?" "No, Bill, what would you be?" I would respond. "ASHAMED, that's what I'd be, ASHAMED." With a smile and a wave of his hand he would be on his way.

Brethern, the challenge and the opportunity remains before us. Certain words live in the conscious of men and are therefore eternal: FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, HONESTY, and INTEGRITY are such words. They live as Mason's live and act. May your lodge hold high the standards of our Fraternity. During 1984, eighty one (81) of our constituent Blue Lodges participated in this voluntary program. 244 awards were presented to students throughout Louisiana. Each lodge has a copy of the 1982 Proceedings of the Grand Lodge. Printed on pages 110 and 111 is the step by step sequence that leads to having a successful Honesty - Integrity Award Program in your lodge. Wardens and Masters, we challenge you to look it up and read it twice- pages 110 and 111 of the 1982 proceedings. May you be found guilty of giving a young man or woman a standard to live up to a HIGH STANDARD!

My personal thanks go out to all who have served on this committee in the past. We appreciate the support the program has recieved from OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 193

the Grand Master and the other Grand Lodge Officers. Now is a good time to pick up your 1985 Honesty-Integrity Keys and Certificates.Brother Maurice Sable, Chairman of the Service Committee, would appreciate your placing your order before Grand Lodge adjourns. May the Grand Architect of the Universe strenghen you and support you during 1985. Move the report be accepted and printed in the proceedings.

Respectively submitted,

D.L. Aldridge, Chairman Special Committee for High School Awards

Oeiwin P. Laguens, Grand Secretary The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. S A. H. 1300 Masonic Temple Building 333 St. Charles Avenue New Orleans, La. 70130 Dear Brother Laguens: Following is the annual report for Louisiana Relief Lodge No. 1, F. & A. H. During the year 1984 Louisiana Relief Lodge No. 1, F. & A. M. received several requests from sorjouming brethren or members of their families for financial aid, which we were happy to provide when the applicant was found worthy. There were three Instances in which imposters attempted to unlawfully obtain money from the Relief Lodge. In all cases we give the applicant the benefit of the doubt but these three were obviously fraudulent. In addition to requests for financial aid there were numerous requests for assistance 1n locating housing accomodaflons, transportation to the air- port, bus depot, hospital, etc. or help with problems which confront strangers in a large dty with which they are not familiar. In addition to the personal requests the Relief Lodge received many requests from lodges in sister jurisdictions asking assistance 1n locating missing members or information concerning the health or financial status of their members living in the New Orleans area. All of these requests were handled promptly and courteously; unfortunately, however we were unable to locate some of the missing members. Louisiana Relief Lodge No. 1 conducted twenty-four Masonic Burial Ser- vices for sorjouming Masons or for local lodges and on some occasions provided pall bearers for the funeral. There were never less than eight members participating 1n the services and at times there were as many as eighteen. In September of 1985 the forty-seventh Biennial Meeting of the Masonic Relief Association of the United States and Canada will be held in Alburquerque. New Mexice. It will be attended by Worshipful Brothers Glen H. Butler, Past President and Albert P. Selph, Executive Corrmitteeman of the international organization. Fraternally, ',-Vi..-/'' '• i A 'Albert P.

Dear Brother Laguens:

Active participation in the regular meetings of Ouachita Relief Lodge No. 4, is very poor at the present time. Due to this laxity, there were not enough members present to have an election of officers for 1985. Therefore, the Officers who served in 1984 will continue in their stations until a proper election can be held. The officers retained for 1985 are:

Davis C. Lovelady Cadeville 229 Worshipful Master W. P. Elliott Western Star 24 Senior Warden David Doane West Monroe 419 Junior Warden John P. Kersey Graham Surghnor 383 Treasurer H. B. Wilson Graham Surghnor Secretary D. L. Aldridge West Monroe 419 Chaplain Arnold Walker Urlm 111 Senior Deacon Wesley Clark Cadeville 229 Junior Deacon Roy Patrick Cadeville 229 Tyler Although our regular meetings are ill-attended, we still have a very commendable turnout for Masonic Funerals. The Relief Lodge conducted eleven funerals in 1984 and assisted with sixteen for local Lodges. We participated at every Masonic funeral in Ouachita Parish and assisted with four in neighboring parishes. We believe we are still serving a very necessary purpose for the Masons of Ouachita Parish.

Committee on Foreign Correspondence

The following is submitted in accordance with Article III, Section I of the Handbook of Masonic Law. The Proceedings of many of the Grand Lodges for 1982 and 1983 have been recieved and reviewed. It is noted that the loss in membership continues in almost all Grand Jurisdictions; however the State of the Craft generally seems to be good.

There ware some problems among some of our Grand Lodges, namely California and New Jersey and Indiana and Illinois, that were brought to the attention of the Committee early in the year; however these now appear to have been resolved and no action on the part of the Committee was required.

There have been no requests for recognition recieved this year. Fraternally sul

Perhaps the elections and appolntaents of the new year will result In a renewed effort In the matter at hand. As In the past. It Is again suggested that the Incoming Worshipful Master see to the appointment and function of a History Committee. At the present, and until a better means Is devised, It Is suggested that upon Its appointment the History Committee of each lodge: 1. Ascertain whether or not their lodge was mention- in past printed accounts (of Scot or Greene) of Masonic history In Louisiana. 2. Ascertain whether or not a history of their lodge was submitted to Grand Lodge as requested. 3. Proceed to either gather and/or compose, supple- ment and/or update their history and forward a copy to Grand Lodge.

SPEECH OF GRAND MASTER ELECT RAY W. BURGESS GRAND MASTER 1985

M:W: Grand Master, Distinguished East, and my brethern all: in February 1980, when M:W: Robert L. Kleinpeter appointed me as Grand Senior Deacon of this Grand Lodge, I did not dream that one day I would be standing before you as Grand Master. Then in 1982 after I had served almost a year as Grand Junior Warden, I Underwent an operation to remove cancer cells from my right cord and was subjected to 60 days of radiation. At that time I had doubts that I would be Grand Master. The cancer reoccurred and I had another operation last November. My doctors advise me that the cancer is gone and that I should make a full recovery. They further advise that I should have my full voice back by the end of this month. The Lord has taken care of me and I am very grateful and humble. I pledge to you that I will do my best. My Motto is "YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE ENTHUSIASM".

Thank you
