    February Has, for a Short Period of Time, Been Designated As the Month of the Year That We Have Set Aside to Honor Those Who Have Served Our Nation As President

    Salute to the Masonic Past Presidents of the United States of America February has, for a short period of time, been designated as the month of the year that we have set aside to honor those who have served our nation as President. This tradition began many years ago with the celebration of the birthdays of President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln in the month of their birthdays. Fourteen of the presidents of the United States of America have been Master Masons and have carried out the true virtues of the Masonic order. They were: George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Warren G. Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, and Gerald R. Ford. Each has left a legacy to us, to our children, and to our grandchildren that is rich in history and steeped in glory. Many of these Masonic presidents, since George Washington and through Gerald Ford, have served during events in history that make us all proud to be able to call them Brethren. There is another group of Brethren and Sir Knights with whom we are more closely associated. They have served as Presidents of the Knights Templar Eye Foundation since its inception. Sir Knights Walter A. DeLamater, Louis Henry Wieber, Paul Miller Moore, Wilber Marion Brucker, John Lawton Crofts, Sr., George Wilbur Bell, Roy Wilford Riegle, Willard Meredith Avery*, Kenneth Culver Johnson, Ned Eugene Dull, Donald Hinslea Smith, Marvin Edward Fowler, and William Henry Thornley, Jr. Sir Knight Walter A.

FURTHER LIGHT Hale, brothers of the Rule and Line, who work by Truth and Honor's laws; Still striving toward the Light divine, the dayspring of our righteous cause. The cause our ancient seers upbore, in lonely lands through darkest night; Still keeping in their mystic Lore, the prophecy of "Further Light." And further light spread Truth and Love, 'till now the world begins to know The Fatherhood of God, above, the Brotherhood of Man, below. And we, who caught their thought in part — how oft we met, in former time To search for truths their "Royal Art," had woven in the "work" sublime. And oft within the dimmest lore, of ancient writ, we sought and found Some Jewel from their secret store — concealed of old in Holy ground; Concealed for those who sought aright, as that Foundation Stone of yore, "First seen in Heaven" by Holy Light, then centre of the Master's floor. And oft we met in concourse glad, and hail our chosen rulers all. And oft with spirits O how sad, to hear for some the funeral pall, And oft must be, 'till all go, and none shall know that we were here, For what is lost on earth below, is treasured in that higher sphere.

This thesis will explore strategies for rescuing this building and intervening in the heritage site such that the building becomes involved with the city once again. The thesis will explore the cultural value of the Masonic Temple, its history, and its current condition. It will propose ways to preserve the façade as a container whilst opening the interior of the building to host another ‘building’ and program. This proposal will reflect on the symbolism, strict architectural principles, and lasting secrecy of the Free Masons. These ideas will be a tool that shapes the program and will include an inventive series of spaces for various functions related to local art and architecture.

I have tried for so long to operate with my own wisdom, and it just isn’t good enough. Help me to live a faithful, innocent life, free from fear and sin and worry, trusting in Your provision and protection. You are able, Lord, and I am not. Forgive me for trying to run my life and make my plans without consulting You for wisdom, understanding, guidance, and direction. Lead me, and I will follow.
