GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS

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

My Brethren: WELCOME

It is my pleasure to welcome each and every member to this the 140th communication of our Grand Lodge. Members come from every part of our province. Many of you have travelled great distances to be with us once more, to work together and learn from each other, and share in the fellowship of our meeting.

A special welcome to all of our distinguished guests from the provinces and from our neighbouring states. Your presence amongst us adds lustre to our gathering. May your visit be one of profit and pleasure, and if you enjoy your stay as much as Ellen-Orr and I enjoyed our visit with you and the pleasure of your company, we will be delighted.

NECROLOGY

Over the years we have been privileged to share our Masonic journey with some of the brethren who have now laid down their working tools, and have been called to their reward. Familiar names who gave of themselves and made us better for having known them. Their search for fulfilment touched all of us who had the honour of knowing them.

Edward James Langley

R.W. Bro. Edward J. Langley, P.D.D.G.M. Toronto "A" 1 District 1955, served as a member of the Board of General Purposes from 1964 to 1972. He was initiated, passed and raised in Kilwinning Lodge No. 565, having served as Worshipful Master in 1950. Bro. Langley was also a member of several other lodges: River Park No. 356, Stanley No. 426, Connaught No. 501, Mount Sinai No. 522, Mississauga No. 524, Maple Leaf No. 600, Lake Shore No. 645 and Flower City No. 689.

Bro. Langley was one of the founding fathers of the Eat and Argue Club where he gave so freely of his time and talents, even to the day of his sudden passing. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 21

His warm, friendly dispostion and radiant personality will long be remembered by his many Masonic friends.

Douglas Henderson Bliss

R.W. Bro. Douglas H. Bliss, P.G.S.W. (Hon 1990), was initiated, passed and raised in the Lodge of Strict Observance No. 27, where he served as Worshipful Master in 1974, and later served as Secretary for many years.

Bro. Bliss was a long time employee in the Grand Lodge office, serving as Chief Clerk until his retirement in 1990. Unfortunately, his retirement years were not blessed with good health. His many contributions to the Craft shall not soon be forgotten.

We also salute the memory of V.W. Bro. Phillip J. Curran, Grand Steward, and the more than seventy Past Grand Lodge Officers and three William Mercer Wilson Medal Holders listed herein.

"/ heard a voice from heaven saying unto me: Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord; even so sayeth the Spirit, for they " rest from their labours.

PAST RANK

Pursuant to Section 73 of the Constitution of Grand Lodge, that in

recognition of outstanding services rendered to this Grand Lodge, I hereby recommend that the rank of Past Grand Senior Warden be awarded to:

V.W. Bro. J. Lloyd Mellor, Georgina Lodge No. 343, Toronto District 3

V.W. Bro. Robert N. Wilson, King Hiram Lodge No. 566,

Toronto District 1

PAST GRAND MASTERS

Having had the opportunity to benefit from three separate meetings with our Past Grand Masters, and receiving their individual counsel and support

on numerous other occasions during the year, I am deeply grateful to each and every one of them. Their collective wisdom has proven to be an invaluable asset to this incumbent. 22 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

CUSTODIAN

M.W. Bro. N. Richard Richards has served as the Custodian of the Work since 1984, and has indicated that he will be retiring from office at the end of this communication. He has given unstintingly of his time and talent in the performance of the duties of the office.

Each year he has provided instruction and guidance to succeeding District Deputy Grand Masters, and having had the opportunity to work closely with our distinguished brother over the last four years, I add my personal commendation to the plaudits of all who say, well done, Most Worshipful Sir!

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS

The District Deputy Grand Masters are an essential link in the communi- cations chain between Grand Lodge and the constituent lodges. The present District Deputies have filled this vital role extremely well, performing all of their duties and providing leadership in the districts in an exemplary manner.

This year we are including selections of their reports on the state of Masonry in the forty-six districts in the annual Proceedings. This has not been done for a number of years and we recommend that this practice be reinstated, and an effort be made to consolidate the information from the years when this practice was not followed. We must endeavour to preserve our historical records for posterity. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The privilege of serving in this office is shared by only a few. As the 66th

Grand Master, I offer my thanks to all of those who assisted in my Masonic journey; my dad, Bro. Charles Drew who sponsored me, my lodge Georgina No. 343 G.R.C. who raised me and nurtured my Masonic growth, my family who assisted and encouraged me at every step along the way, and most of all to Ellen-Orr who shared the many extra burdens associated with the office, cheerfully and efficiently. Thank you so much!

BOARD OF GENERAL PURPOSES

Under the energetic leadership of the President, R.W. Bro. Durward I. Greenwood, our Board has continued to develop ideas, pursue recommend- ations and provide assistance and guidance to the Districts, Lodges and Grand Lodge through the various standing and special committees. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 23

The Management Committee has now completed the fourth year of operation, meeting on a regular basis during the year and providing informed and timely advice for the decision making and policy formulation functions of the Board.

All of the members of the Board are to be commended for the enormous amount of time and effort expended to perform their duties. A cursory glance at the reports in the Proceedings will provide an insight into the many and varied activities of the committees of the Board.

We must also thank those brethren who, although they were not members of the Board, worked tirelessly on the committees and were responsible for the many successful achievements.

This year five members of the Board have chosen to retire from service in that capacity:

R. W. Bro. H. Allan Leal of Tweed, Honorary Member 1991 to 1995. R.W. Bro. Donald R. Thornton of Kingston, appointed in 1989, 1991 and 1993. R.W. Bro. Andrew R. Burgess of Kincardine, appointed in 1991, elected in 1993. R.W. Bro. Douglas W. Townsend of Walsingham, appointed in 1991 and 1993. V.W. Bro. Norman G. McCarthy of Hamilton, appointed in 1991 and 1993.

They have each given unstintingly of their time and talent for the benefit of our Craft. We salute them for their many contributions, and we are assured that their commitment to our Order will manifest itself in other directions. APPOINTMENTS V.W. Bro. James Currie was appointed as a Grand Steward in October,

1994, and I request the approval of Grand Lodge for this appointment. ANNIVERSARIES

It has been my pleasure to share in many anniversary celebrations. It is always encouraging to see the way that such an occasion can be beneficial to the well being of the lodge, resulting in profit and pleasure for the members. Many lodges have planned events well in advance, including family members and involving members of the community whenever possible. 24 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION RECOMMENDATIONS

The three-year term as Honourary Members of the Board of General Purposes has come to an end for the following five brethren:

R.W. Bro. Robert A. Barnett R.W. Bro. James T. Cassie R.W. Bro. H. Allan Leal R.W. Bro. Wallace E. McLeod R.W. Bro. Robert T. Runciman

Each and every one of whom has given unstintingly of his time and talent, providing access to a wealth of expertise and experience to our Grand Lodge. R.W. Bro. H. Allan Leal has indicated that he does not wish to be reappointed an honourary member of the Board. I am delighted to recom- mend that the remaining four be appointed for a further term of three years, thanking them for past service to our beloved Craft.

Pursuant to Section 131(e), I recommend the appointment of R.W. Bro. Ronald K. Campbell, Nepean, for a term of three years as an honourary member of the Board of General Purposes.

MASONIC FOUNDATION

President T. John Arthur and the directors of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario have lead our Foundation through another year of growth, and now established in the Memorial Building in Hamilton are poised to meet the challenges of the years that lie ahead. The changes to the bylaws that were passed at the annual meeting will extend the base from which the directors are chosen, facilitating a more broadly based representation from the membership. WILLIAM MERCER WILSON AWARD

During the past year five brethren have joined the illustrious recipients of this prestigious award. We delight in offering our congratulations on their preferment:

Bro. Alec R. Rae, Antiquity Lodge No. 571, Toronto Bro. Ralph S. Henderson, Maitland Lodge No. 33, Goderich Bro. Lyndon Jones, Ancient St. John's No. 3, Kingston Bro. Donald N. Irvine, St. John's Lodge No. 104, Norwich Bro. Russell O. Dillabough, Atomic Lodge No. 686, Deep River TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 25

LONG SERVICE PINS

Many long service pins were earned and presented during the past year and we congratulate all of the recipients.

This year, in response to many requests over the years, we have developed a 25 year Past Master's pin for presentation to those of our brethren who have served the Craft as Past Masters for a quarter of a century.

It is important to remember that pins for long service must be requested by the LODGE. Too often this is missed, and we would suggest that every lodge establish a mechanism to ensure that the request is made in ample time for presentation.

DEPUTY GRAND MASTER

During my term of office it has been my distinct pleasure to work closely with our Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. Durward I. Greenwood, who has been a constant source of support to your Grand Master, meeting, as we have, on a regular weekly basis. His performance as the President of the Board of General Purposes and as Chairman of the Management Committee of the Board leaves no doubt in my mind that he is well prepared to lead this Grand Lodge for the ensuing two years, and we will all be proud to follow his leadership.

GRAND OFFICERS

Once again our Grand Lodge has been well served by the dedicated brethren who were elected and appointed to serve in the past year. The Grand Director of Ceremonies, V.W. Bro. David D. Doughty was unable to serve due to continuing health problems, and this necessitated that V.W.

Bro. Thomas P. Hansen be appointed to fill the office once more. His ready acceptance of this responsibility and his dedication to service is deeply appreciated

The Grand Chaplain, R.W. Bro. David Wilkinson brought his unique blend of humour and dignity to the office, officiating at many Divine Services and special events.

Once again we were fortunate to have the immensely talented Mason, R.W. Bro. Wallace E. MacLeod serve in the capacity of Grand Historian.

The Grand Wardens, R.W. Bro. William C. Thompson and R.W. Bro. 26 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Thomas S. Crowley, performed their duties in an outstanding manner, and the Grand Registrar, R.W. Bro. Philip R. Borland, represented the Grand Master on the visit to Heritage Lodge No. 730 G.R.C.

The Grand Treasurer, R.W. Bro. T. Richard Davies, who was appointed to succeed M.W. Bro. A. Lou Copeland in 1993, was elected by the brethren in 1994, bringing to that office a wealth of experience from the private sector, and fulfilling his duties with distinction.

M.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies has once again served our Grand Lodge as Grand Secretary in an exemplary manner. We are so fortunate to have his wise counsel and vast experience available to us. We extend our personal thanks for all of his efforts. GRAND REPRESENTATIVES

I was pleased to accept the recommendations of the Grand Masters involved, and to confirm the following brethren as our Grand Repre- sentatives near the Grand Lodges of:

Italy (Gr Orient) - Bro. Antonio Bencaster Kentucky - Bro. Donald R. Stump

Netherlands - Bro. D. C. J. van Peype Norway - Bro. Frank Hauan Oklahoma - Bro. Ronald E. Johnson Venezuela - W. Bro. Carlos C. Bratt Castillo Virginia - Bro. Charles B. Taylor

I was pleased to recommend to the Grand Masters involved, the following brethren for their consideration for appointment as Grand Rep- resentatives near our Grand Lodge:

New South Wales - R.W. Bro. T. Richard Davies

North Dakota - R.W. Bro. Robert J. McKibbon Ecuador - R.W. Bro. Ralph Green Denmark - V.W. Bro. Thomas P. Hansen Nova Scotia - R.W. Bro. Frank G. Dunn Luxembourg - R.W. Bro. Denis Langridge Oklahoma - R.W. Bro. Terence Shand York-Mexico - R.W. Bro. Ronald K. Campbell COMMENDATIONS

Certificates of commendation for outstanding service were awarded to the following brethren: TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 27

Bro. Philippe A. M. Bernard, The Builders Lodge No. 177, Ottawa Bro. Stanley W. McNall, Mother Lodge Amity No. 32, Dunnville

V.W. Bro. Jack F. Higgins, King Solomon's Lodge No. 378, London Bro. Wallace D. Hall, Russell Lodge No. 479, Russell W. Bro. Evan H. Stevenson, Mercer Lodge No. 347, Fergus Bro. Clifford H. Beaumont, Nickel Lodge No. 427, Sudbury W. Bro. Arthur A. Parrott, Runnymede Lodge No. 619, Toronto

Bro. John Ross Matheson, True Britons Lodge No. 14, Perth R.W. Bro. Edsel Steen, Pnyx Lodge No. 312, Wallaceburg R.W. Bro. Kenneth L. Schweitzer, Hillcrest Lodge No. 594, Hamilton W. Bro. Peter M. Floyd, Queen's Lodge No. 578, Kingston V.W. Bro. A. E. Harrington, Goodwood Lodge No. 159, Richmond R.W. Bro. Terry A McLean, Sunnylea Lodge No. 664, Etobicoke Bro. Sheldon M. Kofsky, Mosaic Lodge No. 559, Richmond Hill

CONFERENCES

The Conference of Grand Masters of North America was held in February, 1995, in Fargo, North Dakota. Conferences of this nature, providing the opportunity to meet and share ideas with our counterparts from other jurisdictions, have been of immense value to your Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master, as we indicated in the address last year, and provide the ideas for many programmes. One such was the Friend to Friend programme, and I am delighted to be able to thank our good friend, the Grand Master of Pennsylvania, R.W. Bro. George Hohenshildt for leading the way in this marvellous programme.

The Conference of Canadian Grand and District Grand Lodges was held in March, 1995, in Winnipeg, Manitoba — attended by Grand Masters, Deputy Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries from every province. This annual conference provides an unique opportunity for visitation on a national scale, and for interaction between Grand Lodges.

We were able to learn of the many activities of our sister jurisdictions. We reviewed our Friend to Friend programme and offered to make the video and brochures available to the other Grand Lodges for their use if so desired.

the I am delighted to be able to inform you that at the conclusion of Conference our Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. Durward I. Greenwood, 28 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

was elected as President of the 1996 Conference. We congratulate him on the honour that he brings to our Grand Lodge. CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations are certainly in order for M.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies on his election as the President of the Conference of Grand Secretaries of North America at their annual meeting in Fargo, North Dakota. The brethren have chosen wisely and we congratulate our Grand Secretary on his preferment. SECRETARIES

The amount of work that is done by the Lodge Secretary is usually only fully realized in his absence and, indeed, the efficient operation of the lodge is dependent to a large extent on the devotion and dedication of the secretary. Many secretaries serve for a number of years, providing a degree of continuity to our officer line. We recommend that consideration be given to provding a mark of recognition for long service - perhaps seven years - in this vital office.

GRAND CHAPTER R.A.M.

Due to another commitment, I was unable to accept the gracious invitation of Most Excellent Companion Alan F. Walker to attend the 137th Annual Communication of the Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Canada in the Province of Ontario, held in Windsor, in April, 1995.

I was pleased that our Deputy Grand Master was able to attend in my stead, and we extend our thanks to the Grand First Principal and all the Companions of Grand Chapter for the warm welcome and gracious hospitality extended to R.W. Bro. Durward Greenwood and Doris.

It was a privilege to be appointed as an honourary member of the Executive Committee of Grand Chapter and thanks are again extended to the Grand First Principal for this honour.

SUPREME COUNCIL A. & A.S.R.

The close association of our Grand Lodge with the Scottish Rite was particularly evident this year by the support and encouragement given to our Friend to Friend programme. SHRINE

The 121st Imperial Shrine session was held in July, 1995, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Shriners of Ontario were well represented at this session. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 29

Imperial Potentate Burton E. Ravellette has carried the message of Masonic Unity to every Temple in North America whenever he has had the oppor- tunity, and our congratulations are extended to this dedicated Mason.

To improve cooperation and understanding between the Masons in our jurisdiction, regular meetings have been held of the Ontario Masonic

Strategy Committee, which is composed of representatives of the three Shrine Temples, Grand Chapter, Scottish Rite and Grand Lodge, working together to address our joint concerns regarding membership.

I commend all of the Masons involved in this joint effort. Useful progress is being made and this will continue as we address our challenges in a concerted manner.

SQUARE AND COMPASSES

Last year we reported on the successful defence of the commercial use of our symbol, and the ongoing action to register the square and compasses with the cooperation of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario and the other Canadian Grand Lodges.

It is my pleasure to report that this initiative has been concluded and our gratitude is now expressed to The Masonic Foundation for their ready assistance, and to the other Canadian Grand Lodges, in particular the Grand Lodge of Quebec, the Grand Lodge of Manitoba, the Grand Lodge of Alberta and the District Grand Lodge of Newfoundland (Scottish Constitution), for their financial contribution to this endeavour, and last, but by no means least, to M.W. Bro. Norman E. Byrne who, with great expertise and no little effort, shepherded this effort to a successful conclusion.

We are now in a position to protect our emblem from commercial exploitation. DEDICATIONS

During the past year we had the opportunity to join with two lodges to dedicate new facilities:

Strong Lodge No. 423, in Sundridge, on May 6, 1995

Hillcrest Lodge No. 594, in Hamilton, on May 27, 1995

We take pleasure in congratulating the brethren of these two lodges as they completed their dream to establish a new Masonic home, and wish for all of the members many years of happiness in their new surroundings. 30 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

RECEPTIONS

It was a pleasure to attend the many receptions which were hosted by the districts across the jurisdiction, and to be received with such generous hospitality. Many districts included an invitation to our ladies, which Ellen- Orr was delighted to accept. We will be forever grateful for the opportunity to meet so many members at these events. At many of them we met briefly with the Worshipful Masters and Wardens before the reception, who were invited to introduce their new members. This proved so successful that one district had the names of the new members of each lodge printed on the placemats on each table. BICENTENNIALS

The Ancient St. John's Lodge No. 3 G.R.C. celebrated two hundred years of Masonry in August, 1994, with a gala celebration in Kingston.

The Barton Lodge No. 6 G.R.C. is celebrating this momentous anniversary in 1995.

Both lodges chose to mark this historic benchmark in their history with year long celebrations, involving their families and the communities to which they have made such a contribution over two centuries. CENTENNIALS

We extend our congratulations to the lodges who are nearing their 100th Anniversary and wish them well as they embark on their second century:

Burns Lodge No. 436 G.R.C, Hepworth, as of September 11, 1995.

Harmony Lodge No. 438 G.R.C, Thornhill, as of October 5, 1995. Alexandria Lodge No. 439 G.R.C, Alexandria, as of April 21, 1996. Arcadia Lodge No. 440 G.R.C, Minden, as of July 11, 1996.

Dyment Lodge No. 442 G.R.C, Thessalon, as of January 7, 1997.

They are hereby given permission to wear centennial gold thereafter.

CORNERSTONE

The cornerstone of the William Mercer Wilson Centre in London was laid on October 29, 1994, with full Masonic ceremony, and the official opening took place on April 1, 1995.

All Masons can be proud of the leadership and initiative of our members from the London area who have fulfilled this dream. They still are in need of funds to implement this worthwhile project in its entirety. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 31

DAYLIGHT LODGE

Border Cities Lodge No. 554 G.R.C. in Windsor celebrated their 75th Anniversary in 1995 by becoming a Daylight Lodge, adding to the growing number of lodges meeting in the daylight hours. It was my pleasure to join the brethren for their first meeting and see the beautifully restored lodge room filled to capacity. We wish them well as they embark on this new chapter in their history. The other Daylight Lodges are:

Anniversary Lodge No. 733 G.R.C, in Brampton London Daylight Lodge No. 735 G.R.C, in London Dufferin Lodge No. 570 G.R.C, in Toronto Limestone Daylight No. 739 G.R.C, in Harrowsmith Ozias Lodge No. 508 G.R.C, in Brantford Luxor Daylight Lodge No. 741 G.R.C, in Ottawa Centennial Daylight Lodge No. 679 G.R.C, in Hamilton

FUND RAISING

The address label and calendar projects continued to receive outstanding support from the brethren, providing funding for much needed programmes detailed in the various reports, including:

* The Friend to Friend video and brochures. * The Spring and Fall issue of the Ontario Mason, mailed to every member. * The new Information Booth. * The Regional Workshops (which will continue through 1996). * Participation in the Annual International Plowing Match. * The Grand Lodge Museum and Library.

CALENDAR

The Grand Lodge Calendar was produced for the second year in 1995, featuring some superb photographs from many lodges. Our gratitude is extended to all those who submitted photographs, and in particular to V. W. Bro. George Ross of Richardson Lodge No. 136 in Stouffville and Bro. Michael Schram of Campbell Lodge No. 603 in Campbellville for their professional assistance. DONATIONS

During the past year our Grand Lodge received some special gifts: The

magnificent organ, which is being used today, was donated by Mrs. Irene 32 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Jack in memory of her late husband, Bro. Robert K. Jack of Unity Lodge No. 710, Brampton; and a 20' x 40' exhibit tent was donated by R.W. Bro. Ted Hensler of Moravian Lodge No. 431, Cargill.

We are most appreciative of the generosity of the donors, and they can be assured that both of these valuable items will be most useful to our Grand Lodge.

There have also been some sizeable financial contributions to our benevolence fund, which are thankfully received and will be faithfully applied.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

It is with a great sense of pride that we extend congratulations to all of the lodges who were involved in so many community activities, providing help to those in need in a wide variety of ways; sponsoring youth groups and sports teams, providing bursaries and funding scholarships, wheelchairs and prosthetics, transportation assistance, guide dog training, highway cleanup, summer camps, family shelters, hospital equipment, preschool breakfasts, walkathons, garage sales, disaster assistance, meals on wheels, blood donor clinics and countless other helpful endeavours, fulfilling the honour bound duty of a Mason to help those in need. We salute all of your splendid work in this vital area. ANTHEM

In the Address in July, 1994, Worshipful Masters were encouraged to consider the singing of "O Canada" at an appropriate lime at all meetings. Your Grand Master has been absolutely delighted at the positive response to this suggestion, and the many favourable comments received on this addition to our regular agenda.

BANQUET FACILITIES

A major part of our lodge evening takes place in our banquet room at the festive board, particularly for our visitors, families and friends. We must endeavour to provide an atmosphere of which we can be proud. Hospitality is a Masonic landmark and the comfort of all in attendance is paramount. A little time and effort spent in improving our banquet rooms would be a sound investment. Many lodges make the banquet hour a nonsmoking event as a courtesy to those who are affected by second hand smoke. This is surely worthy of consideration by all lodges. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 33

BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE

The restored Pre-Confederation lodge room in Black Creek Pioneer Village, which is located on the outskirts of Metropolitan Toronto, was opened in 1984, under the auspices of the Heritage Lodge No. 730 G.R.C. and this year celebrated the tenth year of operation.

The lodge room is open for visitors daily from March through December each year, and has been staffed by an enthusiastic group of volunteer interpreters, who meet and greet the thousands of visitors who explore the village each year. We commend all those who have been, and those who continue to be involved in this worthy activity.

The brethren in the London area, inspired by this example, are investi- gating the possibility of a similar project in their area. We wish them well in their endeavours.

FRIEND TO FRIEND

The Friend to Friend Programme, a key component in our effort to improve the quality of our membership, was adapted from the Pennsylvania programme, and was launched in September, 1994. The focus of the pro- gramme was to address three key elements:

* to motivate the interest of current active members. * to rejuvenate the interest of our members who are not attending lodge. * to attract the interest and provide information to potential quality candidates.

The District Deputy Grand Masters delivered the programme package to all 648 lodges in the month of October. The kit contained a lodge copy of the specially produced video "Friend to Friend - Freemasonry in Ontario," a sufficient number of the brochures to be given to the members, and the programme manual.

The success of this type of programme ultimately depends on how it is used; however, early results from those lodges who have initiated the pro- gramme have been absolutely outstanding.

An important and positive benefit of the programme is the provision of information on our Order, for those who will never become Masons and to our families, friends, relatives and the general public, who deserve to be better informed of our aims and objectives. 34 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

It is interesting to note the wide variety of methods that Worshipful Masters have used to expose the video to an expanded audience: Family Nights and Open Houses; by the Mentors and the Committee of Inquiry; to Community, Church and Concordant Groups; to our shut-in and senior members; to neighbours and co-workers; to relatives and family members; local fairs and community television—in short, a wide variety of uses, limited only by your imagination and the availability of a V.C.R.

INFORMATION BOOTHS

The successful use of information booths has prompted the purchase of a top quality booth, which will be available for use by lodges on a reser- vation basis. Take the time during the Grand Lodge Communication to visit the booth in the foyer outside the Canadian Room, if you wish more infor- mation. INSTALLATION CEREMONY

The Installation Ceremony was revised in July, 1994, by the Ritual

Committee after being under review over a two year period, and is now the only ceremony to be used. FLAG

Our flag is a constant source of pride and inspiration to us and our sense of loyalty and patriotism is admirably expressed in the presentation by the R.C.M.P. degree team:

"/ present our flag, our symbol of Unity and of Sovereignty, Between bars of red and on a field of white, It blazons forth in its full Autumnal glory, The Canadian Maple Leaf, Whose points represent the Provinces and Territories, which comprise our great Dominion; To Freemasons; the red symbolizes the dauntless courage of our forefathers, which we strive to emulate,

the white, that blameless purity of life and conduct, to which we aspire, and the points, the eleven knightly virtues, of which Patriotism is the greatest, and to which we are ever dedicated,

and finally it inspires in us a reverence to Him, to Whom we fervently pray: God Save the Queen and Heaven Bless the Maple Leaf Forever."

It is said that our feelings of patriotism are never higher than when we are far from home. This was particularly evident to your Grand Master on the many visits to Grand Lodges in the United States, where, without TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 35 exception, we were received with the utmost grace and courtesy. One such reception was especially moving in the Grand Lodge of Ohio, where the Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Thomas Zahler, had memorized the above presentation, which he gave when our flag was presented, much to the amazement and delight of your Grand Master.

Thirty years ago Bro. John Ross Matheson chaired the Parliamentary Committee which gave us our flag. Indeed, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson said: "He was the man who had more to do with it than any other." Judge Matheson concludes his superb book "Canada's Flag" with the following paragraph:

"May the maple leaf, our emblem dear, continue to fly for so

long as the wind shall blow. May it be seen by all those on this spaceship, Earth, as a signal from a kindly, caring

considerate people. For is it not written that the leaves of the tree were for the healing of nations?"

APPLICATION FORMS

A standard application form was approved in 1994, suitable to be imprinted on the lodge letterhead. This is the only form to be used by all lodges.

COMPUTERS

The ever increasing number of lodges who have computerized their

records is testimony to the progressive thinking of their members. Lodges have reduced expenditures and improved the quality of communications by producing the monthly summons, and in many cases newsletters, financial statements, special announcements, dues notices and many other items on the lodge computer equipment.

DEGREE TEAMS

We are fortunate to have so many degree teams providing a wide diversity of experience and talent for the benefit of the Craft: Past Masters and Wardens, Native Canadians, the R.C.M.P., O.P.P. and many Regional Police teams, Armed Forces, Firefighters. Educators, Railroaders, Tele- phone, Transit and Airline employees, Mariners, Historians, Pharmacists, Hunters, Funeral Directors, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Caribbean, Chapter, Scottish Rite and Shriners and so many others with vocational and rec- reational connections, each working together to provide very special nights for the benefit of the brethren. 36 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

DISPENSATIONS

A number of dispensations were issued during the year to allow petitioners who were physically unable to comply with the requirements of our degrees, to have their petition received, and once accepted to be assisted in every possible way to receive our symbolic degrees.

DIRECTIVE RE ALCOHOL (see Appendix B)

EDUCATION

We are all called upon to make a daily advancement in Masonic know- ledge. It is an admonition which we cheerfully accept and one that will last until we lay down our working tools, yet one which few of us can honestly say that we have followed on a daily basis.

Masonic Education can take many forms, and it is encouraging to see that more and more Worshipful Masters are providing the opportunity for the brethren to learn more about our Order by promoting our Correspon- dence Course and by including short presentations at meetings in the summons and newsletters.

It is essential to our very survival that our new members be provided with the encouragement to develop an interest in continuing Masonic Education as a life long passion. "We seek the truth, for that alone can make us free."

LODGE BUILDINGS

Our Masonic homes are in constant need of our attention—physically and financially—as we must always present a Quality image in the com- munities. It is sometimes a worthwhile exercise to walk across the street and take a good look at the building we call home and, hopefully, see a building

that is a credit to the community, a building that is in good repair and is well maintained, with a lighted Masonic sign and a Canadian flag. In short, a building that reflects the pride which we have in our Order.

MAPLE LEAF PIN

The lapel pin which combines the Canadian Maple Leaf and the square and compasses was approved last year (Section 384), and this expression of loyalty to our Country and our Craft is now being widely used by our brethren throughout the jurisdiction and beyond. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 37

MASONIC HOLDINGS

The Masonic Holdings Corporation has been tremendously cooperative as the Memorial Building in Hamilton became a totally Masonic building in 1994. The upper level, which was previously leased to a commercial tenant, became the new home for The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, The Masonic Foundation of Ontario and the Grand Lodge Library and Museum.

An evolution of which all Masons can be proud, and special thanks are due to President Dr. Eric W. Nancekivell and all of the directors of the Masonic Holdings Corporation. LIBRARY

Our Grand Lodge library was moved this year from the basement floor to the upper level of the Grand Lodge Memorial Building in Hamilton, and together with the Museum was officially opened in May, 1995.

We strongly recommend that this is the appropriate time to plan for the continued evolution to meet the needs of the twenty-first century, exploring the means now available for the storage and retrieval of information. MUSEUM

The Grand Lodge Museum was also officially opened on May 27, 1995, on the upper level of the Memorial Building in Hamilton. We are most grateful to Heritage Lodge No.730 G.R.C. for the financial assistance in furnishing the display cabinets. The committee has done a superb job in relocating the library and establishing the museum in the past year.

We now have a place to display and conserve the artifacts of our Masonic heritage. Brethren are urged to contact the committee if they know of items which could be considered for display. NEWSLETTERS

Many lodges publish a newsletter which is mailed with the monthly summons, and each year a growing number of lodges are taking advantage of this opportunity to improve communications with their brethren. It does require some resources and some dedicated effort; however, the benefits to be gained from the extra work are well worthwhile.

During the past year we have witnessed more District Newsletters, providing information and educational material on lodge and district activities. All those involved in these valuable communication tools are to be commended on their efforts. 38 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

ONTARIO MASON

In the second year of operation the magazine was published in the Fall of 1994 and the Spring of 1995. Mailed prepaid directly to every member at his home address, the magazine provides a valuable link in our communi- cations chain.

Many favourable comments have been received on the content and quality of the magazine, and the way news about all the regions of our jurisdiction is conveyed to all of our members.

PUBLICATIONS

All of the Grand Lodge publications are presently being reviewed. Many brethren have suggested that publications should also be available in large type editions so thereby providing access to more brethren. I would strongly recommend that, wherever possible, this request be given consideration. MENTOR PROGRAMME

This programme was launched in 1985 by Grand Master A. Lou Copeland as part of the five point programme to "Ignite Masonic Pride." Our late beloved M.W. Brother laid the groundwork for one of the most essential programmes of our Grand Lodge, one which is even more vital after the successful launch of Friend to Friend, which has attracted so many new quality candidates to our Order.

Full use of the Mentor Programme will enable these new members to take their rightful places in our lodges, and to blend comfortably into lodge activity.

REGIONAL WORKSHOPS

The Regional Workshops which began in 1994 are being repeated in 1995 and are planned to continue in 1996; each year following the same format, but featuring a new programme providing information on different topics.

SUSPENSIONS

The suspension of a brother for nonpayment of dues is a heavy responsibility for a Worshipful Master under any circumstances, but parti- cularly when the brother is no longer resident within the jurisdiction of the lodge or when he is advanced in years. It presents an even more perplexing problem when his whereabouts are unknown. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 39

The value of personal, face-to-face contact cannot be overestimated, and if the brother has moved beyond the jurisdiction of the lodge, perhaps it would be helpful to seek the assistance of the local lodge nearest his new address.

The complete listing of lodges by location is available in the Grand Lodge annual Proceedings, which also provide the secretary's name and address. We must all try to work together to improve our statistics in this vital area. YOUTH GROUPS

The future belongs to our young people and we must do all that we can to help them to be ready to assume the responsibilities that lie ahead for them.

"If Masonry is to survive for future generations, some attention must be given to the training of our younger men. There is no organization that offers the wholesome training to a youth in his formative years as does the Order of DeMolay, and DeMolay deserves the complete support of the Masonic Fraternity." These are the words of M.W. Bro. Harry S. Truman, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Missouri and President of the United States from 1945 to 1952.

Brother Truman was an outstanding Mason and we would do well to heed his advice, and extend his thoughts to include the young ladies of the Order of Job's daughters and the Order of Rainbow for Girls.

Our youth groups need our support both financially and physically, and we must institute long range plans to assist in their development

CONCLUSION

We look to the future with a renewed sense of confidence and with the knowledge that many new challenges await as we prepare to enter the new millennium, providing the opportunity for growth and development that has been the landmark of our order since time immemorial.

Our potential to contribute for the betterment of the society in which we

live is enormous, we are all charged to work while it is yet day, for the time comes when no man can work.

Our personal contribution can take many forms, the important point is that we perform our allotted task to the best of our ability, for if we are to 40 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION pursue quality and excellence, we must pay equal attention to all of our

Masonic duties, the seemingly simple task is worth doing well, and each task is just as important in maintaining the fabric of the Craft.

At the end of our journey on this sublunary abode, the spirit returns unto

God who gave it. We are all here for a relatively short time, and no one amongst us knows how much time is left. We came alone and we leave alone, for we are individuals, each endowed with certain faculties, each enjoying many privileges and each assuming certain responsibilities. We are responsible as individuals for our conduct in this life, and we know that all of our actions are not only observed, but are also recorded.

Masonry need have no fear for the future, providing that our members are true to its precepts and follow the illustrious example of our prede- cessors.

By the QUALITY of our lives, by our readiness to SERVE, and by the infectious happiness of our brotherhood, we SHALL be true to our ancestors, and responsible to our successors by what WE DO TODAY!

Sincerely and fraternally,

C. EDWIN DREW

Appendix B

To be read at the next regular meeting of the Lodge (supersedes all prior Directives)

To the Worshipful Master of each Lodge:

Whereas it is permissible for alcoholic beverages to be served and consumed during the social aspects of a Masonic function in Masonic buildings or elsewhere, it is hereby directed that it is the responsibility of all Masons to insist that discretion, propriety and moderation be excercised.

Alcoholic beverages shall not be taken into or consumed within any lodge room.

. It is imperative that, without exception, all necessary permits and permissions will be obtained from regulatory authorities and complied with in every respect.

Driving a motor vehicle after consumption of certain amounts of alcohol

is prohibited by law.

The possibility of the legal liability of any host must be considered.

Masonic dignity and decorum must be maintained at all times, so that the Craft will not be discredited by the irresponsible use of alcohol.

All of the foregoing must be considered when renting to non-masonic tenants.

Auditors' Report

To the Most Worshipful the 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 the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario as at Apnl 30, 1995 and the statements of revenue and expenses 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.

Except as explained in the following paragraph, 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 presentation.

The organization derives net special programme fund revenue from address labels and calendars, the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded m the records of the organization and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to alter revenue, net earnings, assets and fund balance.

In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which we might nave determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves concerning the completeness of the special programme

revenue referred to in the preceding paragraDh. these financial statements present fairly, in all material

respects, the financial position of the organization as at April 30. 1995 and the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

On motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by the Grand Treasurer, the Auditor's Report was adopted. REPORT OF THE GRAND TREASURER

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:

I am pleased to report again this year that the financial position of your Grand Lodge continues to be in a strong and healthy situation. Total revenues in the past year were more than S644,000, with expenses well contained at some 5571,000, giving a 58 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION surplus for the year of some $73,000. The net worth of the Grand Lodge General Fund now stands at $1,895,000, up from $1,823,000 one year ago.

The investments held by the General Fund are all of a highly liquid nature and for the past five years have been managed to our entire satisfaction by professional investment counsellors, Cassels Blaikie & Co. Ltd. The Audit and Finance Committee and the Management Committee join with your Grand Treasurer to meet quarterly with the investment counsellors and we have regularly confirmed to the Board that we are well satisfied with the quality of their investment management. The mandate given to Cassels Blaikie is that not less than 70% of the portfolio be invested in high grade and mid term bonds, the balance being permitted in good quality blue chip equities.

We might add that a standing invitation to all members of the Board of General Purposes permits their attendance as an observer at any of our investment committee meetings.

We recommend the approval of a fee adjustment to be paid in future to our investment counsellors Cassels Blaikie as follows: Our existing fee structure pays Cassels Blaikie a flat fee of $20,000 per annum. In view of the increase in the value of the portfolio since the original engagement of Cassels Blaikie, it is now recom- mended that effective August 1st, 1995, the fees paid be struck as one-half of one percent (per annum) plus brokerage commissions.

We estimate that this fee amendment will result in aggregate charges of not more than $23,000 during the year ahead, based on their letter of June 26, 1995, on file in Grand Lodge.

The Memorial Fund is in a similarly good condition in spite of the small excess of disbursements over revenues during the past year. The amounts disbursed to benevolent applications total about $100,000, with gross revenues from investment income and bequests and donations totalling $95,000. Nonetheless, our investment portfolio dedicated to the work of the Memorial Fund continues to be in excess of $1,000,000.

The Commutation Fund continues to grow very satisfactorily as the investment income and commutation fees are accumulated and there have been no expenses allocated to this Fund—the result being that we now have virtually $750,000 in this Fund, up by $73,000 in the past year.

The budget for the General Fund in the year ahead anticipates a continuation of our balanced budget. We hope to find ways to enhance the money in the Memorial

Fund to ensure it is self-sustaining to meet the requirements of the Committee on Benevolence. The Commutation Fund should be built up to not less than $1,000,000 and as evidenced above, we continue to make progress towards that goal.

The aggregate of the General, Memorial and Commutation Funds now totals $3,654,000, up by $141,000 in the past year. You will agree that from a financial perspective our situation appears quite secure and it is the mandate of the Grand TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 59

Treasurer, the Audit and Finance Committee and the Management Committee to ensure that our future prospects remain bright and enhanced with a solid financial footing.

The Special funds programme which was established to accommodate the support of the Label and Calendar programmes has received a very generous response. The total contributions over the two years since the launch of the first Label Programme have now touched nearly $1,000,000, of which NET revenues to Grand Lodge have been nearly $450,000. The generous support of Masons across the jurisdiction to this initiative of Grand Lodge has been something of a windfall and has permitted special programmes which otherwise might not have been considered. Those programmes are itemized in the detailed financial reports which form part of this presentation. The major outlays being support of the Ontario Mason magazine, the workshops and the preparation of a promotional video.

We participate frequently during the year in meetings with Cassels Blaikie to review investment decisions, with the Management Committee to discuss financial aspects in general and with the Audit and Finance Committee to set and review budgets. We are also in regular communication with the Grand Master and the Grand Secretary in monitoring the overall financial affairs and conditions affecting the security and long term financial good health of your Grand Lodge.

We cannot close without a strong word of recognition to the prudence and responsible handling of day to day affairs by your Grand Secretary. We also must recognize the care with which the Benevolence Committee deals with disbursements of benevolence and to the Management Committee for the deliberations they give to the financial aspects of the various special programmes which they administer. The Grand Treasurer also acknowledges the restraint which has been shown by the several committees of Grand Lodge in managing their expense requirements.

We look forward to a continuing and healthy financial status for our Grand Lodge during the years ahead. It appears presently there will be no need for any increase in lodge assessments for the foreseeable future.

Respectfully submitted.

GRAND SECRETARY'S REPORT

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:

SEMIANNUAL RETURNS

Semiannual Returns have been received from 647 constituent lodges and the information contained therein has been entered in the records of Grand Lodge. Statistical information may be found in the audited statement presented by the Grand Treasurer and in other tables printed in the annual Proceedings of Grand Lodge.

It must be noted that several Semiannual Returns were unduly delayed in completion and return this past year. Regrettably it must be reported that these delays have again made it impossible to complete the statistical information required in the preceding section of this preliminary report.

Even as this report is written no Return for the period July 1, 1994, to December 31, 1994, has been received from Orient Lodge No. 339, in spite of repeated promises to the contrary. Hence the statistical information reported herewith is as yet incomplete.

PRINTING AND PUBLICATIONS

Interest in the publications printed and distributed through your Grand Lodge Office was extremely high during the past year. A quick review of the Financial Statement will verify the large increase in sales. The assistance of all who helped in the distribution of these books is acknowledged with grateful thanks. 70 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Unfortunately the stock of several publications was exhausted during the year; however it is trusted that this will be remedied in the near future.

DISTRICT SECRETARIES' MEETINGS

I was again privileged to participate in several District Instructional Meetings for Secretaries. These meetings have proven to be not only interesting and challenging, but also most helpful and informative to those in attendance.

Districts who do not have a forum for their Secretaries to exchange thoughts and ideas with their counterparts are missing an opportunity to assist those who perform such a great service to the Craft. Indeed, it becomes much easier to carefully emulate that which is praiseworthy in others if one is given a chance to enjoy the benefits of group discussion with his peers. Once again, I reiterate the willingness of your Grand Secretary and/or his Assistant to participate in District Instructional Meetings for Secretaries.

VISITATIONS

During the year numerous Masons called in to the Grand Lodge Office. Many came from across the waters and sought information on lodges and their meeting times and dates. Others came and extended greetings from their Grand Lodges.

Special mention should be noted of the privilege we had in receiving senior Grand Lodge Officers from the Czech Republic, the Regular Grand Lodge of Belgium, and the Grand Lodge of India.

Attendance at the Conference of Grand Secretaries of North America in Fargo, North Dakota, also afforded the opportunity to visit and dialogue with counterparts from the four corners of the world.

The Conference of Grand and District Grand Lodges of Canada also proved helpful in providing a forum for dialogue and the sharing of ideas, problems and, yes, even solutions.

THE MASONIC INFORMATION CENTRE

John Robinson had a vision that a Centre for Masonic Information was necessary and could be created to effectively provide information for members, the general public and the media that would assist in response to the criticisms of Freemasonry. John donated $5.00 from the sale of each TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 71 copy of his book "A Pilgrim's Path" to establish the Centre in 1993.

Unfortunately, John passed away just as the Centre faced its initial challenge in creating pro active materials to counter the adverse criticism created by the study being conducted on Freemasonry by the Southern Baptist Convention.

In November of 1993 I was invited to serve on this Centre's committee and have been the sole Canadian voice on the committee of seventeen who represent Masonry across the face of North America. Meetings have been held at approximately four month intervals in Washington D.C. and have proven to be most stimulating, and exciting results are now emerging.

A sampling of some of the materials produced reads as follows: A press kit composed of statements on FACTS ABOUT FREEMASONRY; FREEMASONRY and RELIGION; HISTORY of FREEMASONRY; ORGANIZATION of FREEMASONRY; FREEMASONRY and SEC- RECY; THE YOUTH ORDERS and WHAT IS FREEMASONRY.

Booklets entitled - A RESPONSE TO THE CRITICS OF FREE- MASONRY; IS IT TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT FREE- MASONRY? and THERE IS NO SIN IN SYMBOLS have also been made available.

Fact sheets entitled FREEMASONRY AND WOMEN and FREE- MASONRY AND BROTHERHOOD are currently on the drawing board. It should also be noted that much of the drafting and proofing is accomplished by correspondence and telephone, as sometimes the meetings tend to take on the atmosphere of a think tank. Interestingly, the services of a professional Public Relations Consultant who happens to be the daughter of a now deceased member of one of our lodges here in Ontario have been utilized.

While the committee feels it is producing quality hard copy that can be used to better educate Masons, and the profane alike, it has not lost sight of the need for quality products that can be electronically disseminated. Hence we are currently looking at the possibility offered by the creation of a Masonic Newsreel designed for regular release to inform both Masons and profane of current Masonic highlights on local cable TV networks. Spot advertisements on radio are now in use in numerous jurisdictions and, while early indications suggest excellent response, cost does become a concern. The production of a 58 minute Video designed to be used on P.B.S. to tell the Masonic story was approved by the Conference of Grand Masters of 72 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Masons of North America; however, our committee is currently questioning the need, especially in view of the cost of such a production.

Speaking as a Grand Secretary, I can assure you that to have readily available, well thought out quality statements and fact sheets, is of real benefit when suddenly the need arises to respond to enquiries, be they from local or national press or even our own membership. These tools are priceless and it has been rewarding and exciting to have had a part in their creation. CHANGE

Change has been the common denominator in your Grand Lodge Memorial Building during recent years. This year has been no exception, as extensive renovations to the interior of the building have been undertaken to accommodate the needs of your new tenants. The Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons of Ontario, the Grand Lodge Library and Museum and The Masonic Foundation of Ontario are now located on the second floor. Your Grand Lodge Memorial Building now offers one stop shopping so to speak, as four separate but related Masonic entities are all under one roof. On behalf of all in your Grand Lodge Office, a warm welcome is extended to the several new tenants and we wish them success and happiness in their new homes.

Change is evident in your Grand Lodge Office routines as well. Change that could be said to have been incomprehensible only a short decade ago has arrived. The computerization of records now allows the automation of more and more routines. This past year three certificates were redesigned, enhanced and added to inhouse automation. The Master Mason Certificate, the Past Master Certificate and just recently a General Certificate, all feature newly enhanced graphics, standard size, English language, computer generated, laser printed and meet standard mailing requirements. Should you wish to upgrade, as so many brethren are doing, your old large size Master Mason Certificate bearing both English and Latin text, just have your

Secretary return it to your Grand Lodge Office requesting replacement.

Change has also occurred in your Grand Lodge Office Staff as Mrs. Margaret Bunting, secretary for the past number of years, retired at year's end. She had been a faithful employee, accommodating and appreciated by all who came to know her over the years. I know you will all join with me in expressing thanks to Mrs. Bunting and in wishing for her all that is good in her retirement years. TORONTO. ONTARIO, 1995 73

CLOSING

In conclusion brethren, we live in exciting and challenging times where change is the order of the day. We must accept the challenge and make change our friend as we prepare for the dawn of the twenty-first century.

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.

CONDENSED REPORTS FROM THE DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS (1995)

Prior to 1970, selections from the annual reports of the District Deputy Grand Masters, concerning the state of Masonry in their various districts, were included in the Annual Proceedings. The report of the Grand Historian details the way in which this was done from 1857 to 1970. The importance of these reports merits inclusion in the Proceedings, albeit in a condensed form.

Algoma (12 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Robert F. Manz

I am not going to pretend that the state of Masonry in Algoma District is the best that it has ever been. There are many challenges that are facing us now and that will be confronting us in the future. The challenge to keep up with the times. The challenge to make meetings more interesting and promote better attendance. The challenge to maintain a lodge building. The challenge to delegate back-ups for the whole ritual team. Even the challenge to send the Worshipful Master or a delegate to attend the

Grand Lodge Communication. What a disaster it is for the Worshipful Master to lose the opportunity to represent his lodge at the Annual Communication of Grand Lodge. The Friend to Friend programme has had a positive impact in the district; it is a wonderful tool that must be utilized to develop its full potential.

Algoma East (8 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Arthur Burlein Based on the enthusiasm, participation and zeal of the members of the Craft, it

is my opinion that the state of Masonry in Algoma East District is excellent. The 74 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

membership is holding steady over the past year. With the turnover of officers and members, more frequent training in the ritual work byway of workshops, using modern techniques, should be employed. There could be concern for some lodges, based on their financial situation. High operational and maintenance costs are resulting in shrinking net gains for lodges who own buildings and who do not have any supplemental income.

Brant (14 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Robert W. Shoup Masonry in Brant District is in reasonably good shape; however, some lodges are more alive than others. Work at the lodges on the official visit was well done and the officers quite confident in performing the duties of their respective offices. Several lodges were found to be varying slightly from the ritual and were requested to conform to the authorized work, so that all lodges are operating in the same manner.

The Masters', Past Masters' and Wardens' Association is a strong communications vehicle and does much to hold the lodges together.

Bruce (12 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Lloyd W. Hammell

Membership in the district is remaining fairly steady; the average age being

approximately 53 years. Bruce County is becoming a haven to retired members and many are affiliating with the local lodge. The Mentor Programme and the Friend to Friend are being utilized with good results and they are aided by active Phone Committees. Open Houses and Ladies'

Nights are becoming the norm in the district. The singing of the National Anthem is becoming part of the meeting agenda. In these ever changing times lodges need to rethink their long range plans for the future of their members.

Chatham (15 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Brian D. Case

Masonry and the true Masonic spirit are alive, healthy and improving in Chatham District. While we showed no growth in our overall membership this year, we showed

no significant reduction either. We still have lodges that have had no initiations; we also have lodges who have remained active with degree work and others who have success- fully balloted on new candidates and are starting to show a positive change of direction. Total Quality Masonry was the ideal and the theme for the year. The Friend to

Friend programme was installed in every lodge, who indicate that it was most helpful when they showed it to prospective candidates.

Eastern (20 Lodges) R. W. Bro. P. Michael Whetstone

The condition of Eastern District is mixed. We are blessed with many talented and active members and through their efforts Masonry always appears to be alive and flourishing. The Masonic association does an excellent job of encouraging and assisting lodges in a wide variety of fund raising and community activities: Curling Bonspiels,

Golf Tournaments and Duck Races providing support to many worthy causes all across the district —Winchester Hospital, Rideau Camp, Battered Women's House, Bursaries to twenty-one college and university students; many of which receive extensive local media coverage and public exposure. Some lodges made good use of the Friend to Friend programme; however, many TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 75

lodges who need to help themselves have not made use of it. These lodges also seem to be less likely to visit and participate in district activities, where the benefits to be gained from participation would be evident to them.

Erie (9 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Grant W Golden

The lodges of Erie District are all located in the county of Essex. I was able to visit every lodge twice and some, for special meetings, several times. The members of the various lodges have a close relationship, meeting as they do at many community functions, in the stores, at coffee clubs, in addition to regular lodge events. This

relationship carries over into lodge work and there is a great effort to do the best work possible. The southernmost lodge in Canada, and the one with the smallest resident

population (7), is located on Pelee Island. For the official visit (by tradition the last visit of the year) 119 brethren signed the register, arriving by plane and boat from the U.S. in addition to our Canadian brethren.

Frontenac (19 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Glenn V. Baker

Masonry in Frontenac District is strong and vibrant. There was a slight drop in membership as there were not enough new candidates to offset losses. Emphasis to

address this problem is in three areas: enhancing public image in the community to attract new quality members; reactivate as many "dormant" members as possible so they in turn will attract new members, and, third, to use every opportunity and programme available to involve the new members in lodge activities. Programmes such as: lodge building signs, community entrance signs, the Mentor and Friend to Friend

programme. I believe that the video, the D.D.G.M.s Communique, the Ontario Mason and the work of our Masonic Foundation will help to stimulate interest and enthusiasm

in Masonry, which will, hopefully, spill over into the community at large. To improve the quality of our Order we need to look after the introduction, education and assimilation of our initiates, and rethink and revitalize our meeting agenda. Lodges should be encouraged to devote some of their meetings to activities other than degree work or the usual Masonic Education. The task of preserving our

Craft lies basically with each and every lodge in its own community and each lodge

must, above all else, find ways to make an involved and enthusiastic career Mason of each and every candidate.

Georgian North (12 Lodges) R.W. Bro. A. J. Tony Hope

Georgian North, as a district, is strong and vibrant, with all except two of the lodges complying with the Constitution and the authorized work in the required manner. The exceptions have been noted and addressed. The Friend to Friend presentation was a major disappointment — only six of the twelve lodges participated and some presentations were made with little thought or

preparation. It is recommended that a District Chairman be appointed to supervise this excellent programme, to answer lodge requests for assistance in presentation. Lodges should become more involved in community activities, participating in local events such

as festivals and fall fairs, with district assistance available, if required.

Georgian South (10 Lodges) R.W. Bro. L. Harvey Street

The district has strong and weak lodges, but it has many dedicated and 76 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

knowledgeable Past Grand Lodge Officers and Past Masters. A committee has been formed to consider the feasibility of supporting a DeMolay Chapter in the district, and are in the process of relaying their report to the lodges for their consideration. Lodges are involved in a great many community activities, and some are renting the banquet room to community groups at a reduced fee. A district Friend to Friend night was held and was well attended, sparking a flame of interest. The video has been shown in lodge rooms, community centres and churches, and is being used by Investigating Committees when interviewing prospective applicants — having a very positive impact.

Grey (12 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Charles S. Glasspool This year, Grey District has presented a favourable and positive image. District events have all been reasonably well supported, including the official visits, the Divine Service, the Grand Master's Reception and the Ladies' Night, which was reinstituted this year. The banquets at the respective lodges all exhibited the quality and generosity which marks the hospitality for which the district is famous. Some areas of concern are the conflicts of meeting dates that affect six lodges and distances are also a problem for some lodges.

Hamilton A (14 Lodges) R.W. Bro. John R. Hanna

During each of my official visits I was properly received. The protocol in the lodge room and in the banquet room was generally very good to excellent. The work of the evening was always done in a dignified and sincere manner. Most lodges now hold their banquet before the meeting at official visits and installations. This, in my opinion, is a wonderful idea. I chose to deliver my addresses in the lodge room, after the candidate returned. This seemed to be well received and I hope that they contributed to better understanding and enjoyment of our Craft.

The support of district events by the brethren has been outstanding. I am a little concerned at the slow start of the Friend to Friend programme in the district; hopefully this will be addressed this year.

Hamilton B (14 Lodges) R.W. Bro. James M. McArthur

At the start of the Masonic year I made a point to visit all of the lodges. This turned out to be a big advantage, as it generated a relaxed feeling with the Masters.

During the visits I had the opportunity to present many long service pins to deserving brethren. There were many well planned, well attended Open Houses where the Friend to Friend video was a big hit. The Maple Leaf lapel pin was another huge success, worn proudly by the brethren. It was an honour to represent the Grand Master and unveil the cornerstone of the new home of Hillcrest Lodge No. 594 in Hamilton. It was a delight to see the number of young line officers that we have in the district. The lodges are initiating a goodly number of new candidates, which is very encouraging, and the calibre of work being performed is excellent.

Hamilton C (15 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Donald L. Jagger While some lodges are experiencing a decrease in membership, several are experiencing a resurgence in membership and particularly in attendance, probably due TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 77

to improved programmes, more social activities and well planned banquet hours. I was well received by all of the lodges and the work was well performed. In many instances the Deacons appeared to be in need of more training. It was my pleasure to present many long service pins, Masonic Education certificates, and, on behalf of the Masonic

Foundation, bursaries to needy students. Finally, I feel that there is a need for early and better training by Grand Lodge of leaders for the Friend to Friend and Mentor Programmes, who would then be available to instruct the lodges in their proper use.

London East (14 Lodges) R.W. Bro. D. Garry Dowling Overall, the lodges in London East are faring well. Some are adjusting to the nineties and the needs and wants of the "new" Mason slowly, while others are still refusing to recognize that Masonry is not as it was. We have not yet recognized en masse that we need new and creative approaches to attract the Mason of the future. We are seeing a surprising resurgence in initiations, but seem unwilling to capitalize on this trend by dealing with our new brethren any differently than we did our candidates of 15 - 20 years ago.

Lodges must utilize the material that is available, such as the Friend to Friend and

Mentor Programme to full advantage. The brethren appointed to investigating committees must be our most knowledgeable brethren, who are "in tune" with the times. To build for the future, the legacy of the past must be understood and appreciated, but we must give our brethren a reason to come to lodge . . . and the reasons are different than they were one or two decades ago. The lodges which are succeeding at adapting to the times, generating enthusiasm and leading the way, these are the lodges that are gradually putting the fun back in Masonry. Their brethren look forward to lodge meetings and indeed are quick to let you know it. More lodges could profit by learning and sharing from the leaders.

London West (14 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Arthur S. Rake The William Mercer Wilson Centre has been the greatest project ever undertaken by the brethren of the London Districts. The square and compasses superimposed on the east and west facade of the building will be a lasting tribute to the vitality of our fraternity in the London area. There are plans for a lodge room on the lower level and, once it is completed, Moffat Lodge No. 399 will relocate from Harrietsville, continuing as a working lodge with strong emphasis on quality Masonic Education. The districts also combined on many other special events: reception for the Grand Master, annual walkathon, Divine Service, much cross visitation, and a special Lodge of Instruction which was well attended by both districts. This type of seminar should be held on an annual basis, as the quality of our work is so important to the life of our beloved Craft. The West Winds is the district newsletter. This year two issues were published and the format was changed so that it can be inserted in a No. 10 envelope and provision was made for each of the lodges to have a report included. Greater emphasis should be placed on retention of new Master Masons by involving them regularly in the work of the lodge, demonstrating to them that they are wanted and needed, and that they are important to the lodge. Past Masters could play a beneficial role by being more involved and assuming responsibility for mentoring new members as they progress from candidate to officer. They should be the friend of the new member, rather than a critic. 78 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Muskoka - Parry Sound (8 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Larry W. H. Jeffery

Masonry in Muskoka-Parry Sound is alive and doing well! Each of the lodges now reside in their own building. Strong No. 423 and Corona No. 454, both small lodges with limited finances, have overcome many obstacles and have completed their new lodge buildings. Donations of time, talent and funds from members and from the neighbouring lodges have made a reality of what seemed to be an impossible dream. Minor renovations were taking place in all of the lodges in the district, and varied from rejuvenating exterior flowerbeds to the construction of an office for the secretary.

The Friend to Friend programme has been highly successful in the district; the video was shown on community television channels and at many Open Houses. The brethren have been encouraged to support these events and the Divine Services and Memorial Services, where we are in the public view.

Niagara A (14 Lodges) R.W. Bro. E. Warren Lay

In general, Masonry in Niagara A is in satisfactory condition, with some lodges in excellent shape, the majority in average state and two struggling to hold their head above water. I have to add that the Worshipful Masters of these two lodges are doing

their level best to improve their lot. I truly believe that they will be successful in their

endeavours — their drive and enthusiasm is something to behold. I had the opportunity to attend a Friend to Friend evening in St. George's Lodge No. 15. The evening commenced with a buffet meal and while we enjoyed coffee and

dessert the video was shown; after the video, we all adjourned to the lodge room clad in our regalia. A short explanation followed relating to the room and the furnishings, after which I gave a brief explanation of my office. There were eight friends present and the lodge received six applications. The programme works and I am happy to have

been a part of it.

Niagara B (12 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Barry A. Douglas The district participated in the capital campaign of the Family and Children's

Services where our fund raising goal was $10,000. There were initial concerns that this was overly ambitious; however, approximately $20,000 has been pledged by ten of the twelve lodges. Several newspaper photographs have recognized this Masonic involve-

ment. Favourable press is essential to demonstrate our involvement in the community. Favourable publicity should attract the interest of quality candidates.

The Friend to Friend programme is superb. Many lodges have presented the video

to their members and many lodges show it to the candidates and their families. Mem- bership loss has had an effect on work performed within the lodges. Although there is nothing wrong which could not be cured by a significant influx of new members, my opinion is that a consolidation of lodges and, perhaps, lodge buildings, seems inevitable.

Planning for this eventuality is essential.

Nipissing East (8 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Neil Macdonald

The three lodges meeting in Ffaileybury have been experiencing difficulty in

attracting new members and the forthcoming year is extremely important to their

future. In spite of these difficulties, the attitude towards Masonry is very high in the

district. The advent of the Friend to Friend programme has sparked a new interest in our fraternity, and an increase in applications to those lodges that have embraced the TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 79

programme. The quality of the work is generally good to excellent, but a workshop in the fall would help to bring all lodges up to the same level. Lodge buildings are in excellent shape — all recently or newly renovated.

Concerns are centred around declining membership and attendance. There is a general feeling that promoting the Friend to Friend programme will bring in quality applications and raise our membership to a healthy level. The economy appears to be on the upswing and this too should have a positive effect on our membership.

North Huron (12 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Lee A. Grove Masonry in North Huron District continues to be very strong, while the average age is still a concern, the recent (since September 1994) influx of young candidates has been impressive and pleasing. Membership is showing signs of growing. The Friend to Friend programme has played an important part in this increase, with every lodge showing the tape to every applicant and his family. So we are confident in stating that the district is "rounding the bend" in membership. The Worshipful Masters have proved to be excellent, both in leadership and character. The support which they gave to district functions was outstanding, and four of the twelve had a 100% attendance record at the official visits.

Ontario (15 Lodges) R. W. Bro. Brian E. Keighley Communication through Participation was the district theme and, with the publication of "The Widow's Son" newsletter, the channel of communication in the district opened wide. Twelve of the lodges participated in the first edition and plans are underway to publish the wide variety of materia! which has been received for the second edition.

There has been a noticeable decrease in the number of Past Masters who are filling progressive chairs. This is proof of a new interest brewing in the hearts and minds of Masons in this area. Overall attendance has shown an increase and visitation has also been positively influenced as a result. Another major plus was the involvement of the District Librarian. In addition to lapel pins, car emblems and Friend to Friend videos, he had one of the largest collections of reading material in the province, actually increasing attendance at several meetings, when brethren made special trips to obtain an item which he carried to all official visits and installations.

Ottawa 1 (16 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Edward B. Williams Nine of the lodges in the district are in the city of Ottawa and seven are located in small towns and villages. Only three lodges have Past Masters in the progressive chairs and this number is expected to decrease in the near future because of new members having been initiated. The average age of the membership is 58 years. There are numerous candidates waiting to be initiated during this next Masonic year. There has been a slight drop in membership over the past year but it is believed that this will change with next year's report because of the success of the Friend to Friend programme. Only good things are foreseen for the district because of the insight of Grand Lodge in introducing the Friend to Friend programme. The responsibility now lies with the lodges to make full use of this valuable tool. Most of the lodges are in a good financial situation. Several are operating with 80 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

very little money in the bank or investments. One of the major concerns for the lodges which use the Walkley Road Temple is the high rent needed to carry the expenses of the building.

Ottawa 2 (16 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Ralph D. Morgan

The Worshipful Masters of the district conducted themselves in a very upstanding manner in district events and on visitations to another lodge or district. They formed the nucleus of a fine team effort. The work in their lodges was one of having fun and hard work. The enthusiasm shown by the brethren in their respective lodges will no doubt have a positive influence on the newer members of their lodge. This can only benefit the district.

There continues to be a slight decline in membership. Financially, this is a troubling item and some lodges continue to issue Life Memberships without restric- tions. The regular members have been adversely affected because of the need for dues to be increased as a result. This year many new, young Masons have come into the Craft. They are very interested in what is going on in the lodge and in the community, and are willing to work when called upon. The Mentor Programme has been very helpful, and has also drawn the interest of some of the older brethren who were not fortunate enough to have this programme available to them.

Peterborough (12 Lodges) R.W. Bro. David W. Trotter

Masonry in Peterborough District is very much alive and flourishing. A large number of new candidates have been young men which brings new life to the Craft. The average age of members is somewhere between 50 and 60. This influx of younger members will be the life blood of our membership. Most of the lodges are in good financial standing; however, there are some who are just breaking even. It is difficult to maintain a building large enough to accommodate a lodge when expenses are rising and revenue remains constant.

Their are some excellent ritualists in the district and the work is usually performed with few errors; however, some were not conforming to the authorized ritual and have been given the necessary instruction so that they may do so. Friendliness is evident in all lodges. Hospitality flourishes making it a pleasure to visit all of the lodges in the district.

Prince Edward (17 Lodges) R.W. Bro. William T Richardson On the official visits to the lodges proper protocol was observed and the work was generally acceptable. We emphasised the importance of the quality of the work and the proficiency of our officers, adding dignity and quality to our meetings. The Friend to

Friend programme is being implemented in all of the lodges, and copies of the video were presented to every public library in Prince Edward District.

Community involvement is increasing with participation in the Brighton Applefest parade and many local fairs and parades. Prince Edward Lodge No. 18 placed an article "Upon the level, by the square" in The County magazine, covering the early development of Masonry in Prince Edward County. This is community communication of the highest order.

Recommendations included: full support be given to the establishment of a TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 81

district newsletter. The Royal and National anthems be used at our meetings or banquet. Establishment of a District Benevolence Fund.

St. Lawrence (19 Lodges) R.W. Bro. C. Gerald Robertson

Masonry in St. Lawrence District is, for the most part, in good condition. Atten- dance at all functions has seen a good increase, some of the reasons for this resurgence may be: the new programmes which were introduced; the Friend to Friend and

Mentors; the beautiful plaque which was presented to the district by St. Lawrence Lodge No. 131 from Southampton in Bruce District in 1994. It was decided this would be presented at each official visit to the visiting lodge with the most members in attendance. This has caused a good friendly rivalry, which has increased as the year

progressed from five members as the first winner to twenty-seven on the final visit. The talks at the official visit would be kept to a maximum of ten minutes, and the topics would be timely and of interest, and the introduction of the District Officers would not be accompanied by a speech from them. This meant that meetings would finish at an early hour while leaving time to socialize.

St. Thomas (11 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Charles G. Nichols

Masonry in St. Thomas District is very positive. The membership declined slightly but this seems to be levelling off. Attendance has greatly improved and the spirit of

brotherhood is present throughout the district. The Friend to Friend video has been a

real asset. The Regional Workshops were very informative on interesting subjects. It has been a great pleasure to present long service pins and certificates to deserving brethren at regular meetings. The St. Thomas District "Travelling Gavel" was most sought after this year, with several lodges attempting to "claim" the gavel by visiting sister lodges in large groups.

This has been great for attendance and full lodge rooms. The district newsletter is very informative, providing information on past and future events and worthwhile commun- ication to each and every member. Many functions were open to the public and lodges participated in fairs and parades, allowing the public to gain knowledge of what Masons do in the community.

Sarnia (21 Lodges) R. W. Bro. Kenneth L. Kreibich Each of the ninety-eight events which we attended always had a greater impact than expected, and we experienced no unpleasant surprises. Our public events: Ladies' Nights, Divine Services, Memorial Services, donations and bursary presentations, were done with humble dignity, and we always came away from these events with Masonic pride of accomplishment. The recipients were confidently comforted and encouraged

by our Masonic care and support. It is important to point out that we must operate our lodges like a successful business. From the reports of the lodges in the district the

average dues are approximately $38 while the estimated total cost per member is a

minimum of $55. They are all too low. Initiation fees ranging from $100 to $200, averaging at $135, and when the cost of an apron, case and V.S.L. are considered, we wonder if we are selling Masonry too cheaply.

The Friend to Friend, Mentors and other programmes, are all tools supplied by Grand Lodge, implemented by a team effort, they have culminated in complete success for Sarnia District. 82 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

South Huron (15 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Ronald H. Maines The Friend to Friend programme has been well received. The Mentors Programme is being used in some lodges but not in others. We have a few lodges who tend to live in isolation and not participate actively in district events. There may come a time where the possibility of amalgamation of some lodges becomes a matter for consideration. It has been suggested that in these times of corporate rollbacks and economic uncertainty that Grand Lodge should have some programme to assist members in job location. It is gratifying to see that, despite the trend of the times, a number of lodges with good young officers in their ranks, and also lodges who have not had candidates for some time, now receiving petitions for membership. If we are to be true to our principles we must practice our tenets in our everyday lives, providing assistance to victims of abuse and those in need.

Sudbury - Manitoulin (9 Lodges) R. W. Bro. Ronald S. Zinkie The condition of Masonry in the district generally shows vitality and what appears to be a vigour of interest by right minded members of society for membership in the Craft. Officer corp are relatively young and enthusiastic in most of the lodges, and many are enjoying an increase in the number of applications. Great care is taken to execute proper protocol and lodges are, for the most part, financially sound.

The lodges employing the Mentors Programme in its entirety are being rewarded by continuing interest and involvement of new members. Some lodges have displayed a reluctance to implement this and other informative programmes which are now available, or to become involved in their communities. Meetings exhibit genuine camaraderie among the brethren and the refreshment period is always well-blended with social interaction.

Temiskaming (9 Lodges) R. W. Bro. Gordon N. Hopcraft Three or four visits were made to each lodge with each lodge performing a degree. The Friend to Friend programme was highlighted — it is an excellent tool. Each lodge has held an Open House. One lodge advertised this event in the local paper and on community television — five guests arrived and two applications were received. Lodges held fundraising events to offset the cost of building maintenance; these events raised funds and also created fellowship. The twelve hour shift, the seven day work week, increased workload, job cutbacks and family demands are but a few of the stresses shared by many that have an effect on lodge attendance. Irregular attendance and lack of fellowship means that some Masons are not gaining the true meaning of the Craft. We need to address this problem. Fees and dues have remained constant for some years. Are we in step with the times? Perhaps this could be discussed at the Regional Workshops.

Toronto 1 (23 Lodges) R.W. Bro. B. Andrew Downes Traditionally the district has been divided into two camps, the "inner-city" and the "suburban." My predecessors have done much to tear down the walls of division and we are now reaping the benefits of their travails. The enthusiasm expressed by the younger suburban lodges has been captured by the older lodges and we have melded into one district, each caring and helping the other. Their expertise in dealing with the Mentors and the Friend to Friend programmes has shown that new concepts will work. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 83

An enlightened, enthusiastic, confident Worshipful Master, leading by example, is the key to integrating new paths toward the future. We encourage all line officers to be active in your Wardens' Association, to work to be the best that YOU can be. A major concern lies in the area of some of our members leaving the beautiful concepts of our ritual within the portals of the lodge and failing to apply these principles in their every day life. We must, above all others, exemplify to the world our tenet of Brotherly Love.

Toronto 2 (19 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Michael Weingott

The best spirit of Freemasonry, its rites and practices are very much alive and well in Toronto District 2. The example set by our Grand Officers both individually and collectively at functions such as Installations is outstanding. Collectively, we have some remarkably fine talent and drive among our membership at all levels. Regrettably, when you divide all that talent among nineteen lodges it does not fall equally and I am and shall continue to be very conscious of our weaker lodges — they need our help. Our numbers will drop this year by about 200 members. Some of this is a paper loss as records are corrected, so the main effect will be in reduced income to the District and Grand Lodge. This accentuates our need to attract new members and, having done so, to make sure we maintain their interest and develop them into keen,

active, contributing members. It seems that the present programmes that we have in place are working and producing the required results, but only in those lodges where

there is the will and the drive to make them successful.

Toronto 3 (17 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Michael H. Woolley The impetus of the starting theme: Contemplate, Consolidate and Carry-On is almost self-evident. The district needed to become more efficient in its use of ideas and resources. This year a District Ladies' Night was arranged so that those lodges who could not afford to run one themselves would have one available. This was very well received and those in attendance agreed that this inaugural event was worthwhile and should be continued. Communication was a priority and the first district newsletter was produced, and conflicts in schedule were addressed for mutual benefit. The District Charity "One of our Own," to purchase a specially equipped van for a quadriplegic member of one of our lodges, has been a success in terms of bringing our members together for a common cause, and with more and larger donations

coming in, it will become a financial success as well. What has been really gratifying in

this endeavour is the help we have been given by members and lodges from outside

our district.

Toronto 4 (18 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Donald A. Campbell

I would like to acknowledge and congratulate the efforts of those brethren for their leadership towards implementing the necessary changes that have enhanced and rejuvenated our Craft in today's society. Our goal this year was to respect and maintain the past and to educate the brethren so that we are prepared for the 21st century. Each of the lodges has experienced rebirth or quality growth. We have improved our communications. We have made Masonry fun. Bringing Masonry into the 1990s by improving our community image, many of those experienced Master Masons have returned to their lodges and are getting involved, several of whom are now junior 84 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

officers. This is the rebirth of the lodge. The Masters have seen that their members were given the opportunity to learn and to act, so that Masonry will be seen in its true perspective as a force of good within society. Over the past twelve months forty-five candidates have been initiated and many more are in waiting. Friend to Friend made this possible. To prove a point, two brethren went to interview a prospective candidate, the video was shown and the family were encouraged to watch and participate. The candidate's father was so impressed

that he asked to join, and both father and son were initiated together. This is quality growth. Fraternity or friendship is the catalyst that unites all Masonic activities and

transform work into pleasure. I am happy to report that the brethren of Toronto District 4 understand this and they are proud to be Masons.

Toronto 5 (15 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Peter J. Mizzoni On official visits the attendance of the members and visitors has been maintained with a slight increase. I believe that the "Lazar" travelling gavel has been a factor, plus the high level of support that the brethren have shown to the District Deputy. The overall membership of the district showed a slight decrease; however, there has been a gradual increase in the number of initiations. The new programmes, Friend to Friend and the Mentors, which were introduced this year, have proven to be very effective. The response to the Mentor's Programme by the lodges was excellent, due in no small part to the efforts of the district chairman.

Even though there is still one lodge in trouble and one on the verge as far as

their existence is concerned, amalgamation seems to be the reality. Other than the

problems mentioned, the condition of Masonry in Toronto District 5 is good. The

future of the district is excellent.

Toronto 6 (15 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Frank V. Westhorpe While the aging process continues to be the biggest attrition factor in the

membership of the district (average age is currently 62.4 years) and new initiations are failing to offset the constant decrease, this year has been a positive one for Masonry, particularly on the attendance of visitors on official visits. Attendance of visitors increased by 51% over the prior year. This healthy increase can be attributed to a number of factors: the introduction of an Accompanying Lodge Program; the introduction of the Travelling Square of Friendship; introduction of the musical closing on all official visits; the singing of O Canada after the close of the official visit; recognition by District Deputy of long serving brethren of the lodge. In addition to the above steps taken to improve attendance at official visits, the followings steps were taken to improve the level of interest of the brethren: full discussion and implementation of the revised Installation Ritual; a Masonic baseball game; introduction of a Speechcraft Dynamics Course; a very active Education Committee who presented a play; and the publication of four issues of the district newsletter "The Cornerstone," which was well supported and received by the brethren.

Toronto 7 (26 Lodges) R.W. Bro. W. Thomas Cober

I have been most impressed by the enthusiasm and the number of planned activities involving the effective use of Grand Lodge materials by almost every lodge in the district. A few lodges that two or three years ago were experiencing some TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 85 difficulties are now progressing well; several have initiated five or more candidates with more waiting. The ritual is very well done. We presently do not have any inappropriate lodge or ritual practices. Correct Masonic protocol is being practised in the lodge room and at the banquet hour. Every lodge is now singing O Canada at the conclusion of their lodge meetings. The lodges and the brethren gave excellent support to the district charity project, the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), raising over $28,000 for this cause.

It is recommended that lodges continue to promote social and community activities, to improve communications and to strive for excellence in our ritual and administrative practices.

Victoria (14 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Edward W. Brohm

Masonry in Victoria District is on the increase and there is a renewed interest in the existing members. The Friend to Friend video has been an immense help when visiting a prospective candidate. This renewed interest, due in part to the Friend to Friend programme and the Ontario Mason magazine, must not be allowed to dwindle.

This is a good start but it must be expanded upon. New concepts and new ideas must be ongoing within our Grand Lodge.

I have kept my talks at the official visits as to how the principles of Masonry apply to our every day life. My own personal feeling is that you can only flog the history of

Masonry so much. I have also stressed the importance of seeking quality in new candidates not quantity — you don't have to be big to be good, but we certainly have to be good to survive.

Waterloo (16 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Donald L. Attridge The majority of lodges in Waterloo District are well administered and enthusiastic in the performance of their duties. However, there are three lodges struggling to keep afloat. Their problems are not financial, but the lack of enthusiastic new officers rather than Past Masters in the principal chairs. We are encouraged, though, by the interest shown by a number of young Masons in starting to go through the chairs. The quality of work performed is of a high calibre. The Mentors Programme is at work in all lodges where they have candidates, and this is very evident when watching the floor work and how the candidate conducts himself in the lodge. We have enjoyed seeing a good number of younger candidates being initiated, passed and raised during the year.

Membership throughout the district is holding steady. Several lodges have a back up of candidates waiting, while others have none. This, of course, is a reflection on the lodges in need of more positive leadership.

Wellington (12 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Harold A. Main

Before the official visits and installations all of the lodges were visited on a fraternal basis. The Worshipful Masters and the officers seemed to be well skilled and keen, and the ritual is being adhered to most carefully. The lodges have all received the revised Installation and have been directed to conform to the ritual therein contained. The Friend to Friend pamphlet and video were personally delivered to all of the Worshipful Masters — the programme is being incorporated into Open Houses. This has been instrumental in attracting new members, as has been the Mentors Programme. 86 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Although the economy is not the best, most lodges are holding their own, becoming involved in community events and working with youth groups. New chapters of both DeMolay and Job's Daughters were formed this year and would be apprec- iative of any help that could be given from our Grand Lodge.

Western (10 Lodges) R.W Bro. Wayne G. Pearen On visits throughout the district this year, a strong core of dedicated and hard working Masons in each lodge was evident. The presence of many younger, enthusiastic officers in the chairs looks well to the future of the district. Members have tackled financial problems head on, achieving good results. All but two lodge buildings appear to be in good order, and those two are taking steps to see that required repairs are going to be done.

The ritual is well done and the Past Masters are supporting the lodges in their various endeavours, both in the lodges and in the communities. The Friend to Friend

programme is being actively used to promote the Craft in the various communities and to increase our ranks with men of good character and community minded citizens. The membership decline was less than in previous years. The lodges have been encouraged to put out a newsletter, to improve communication and, hopefully, decrease the demits and suspensions.

Wilson North (12 Lodges) R.W Bro. Harry R. Ketchabaw

The lodges are all running a fine line on finances, and there is not enough money to bring the lodge buildings up to acceptable standards. The buildings are, generally speaking, not a place which you would be proud to bring your wife or family into. The lodge rooms are all very good, but the exterior, entrance and banquet room are, in most instances, in need of upgrading. Lodge dues and fees need to be addressed. Most of them are far too low to finance lodge operations. It would be useful to have a paper or statement on religion which could be used to answer some of the negative criticism from various fringe groups. The history of

Masons in public affairs is well known to us, but not to the general public. Public or community information on Masonic activities and history would be a boon to us. I am concerned about the lack of visiting and involvement by the Worshipful Masters and officers; with the exception of a few, they are not taking advantage of the privilege of visitation.

Wilson South (12 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Larry A. Hicks Masonry in Wilson South seems very healthy. Several lodges have Worshipful Masters who, with the support of the Past Masters, could provide great leadership.

Unfortunately, this needed support is sometimes not forthcoming, leading to decisions based only on short term needs. The Friend to Friend programme was presented at a district meeting, but not all of the Worshipful Masters were able to attend — eventually they all viewed the presentation. It seemed difficult for some of the lodges to visualize the special evening which we were asking them to host in order to present the programme. Very few pursued it even when they were urged to do so. All agreed that it is a great format, very useful for the Committee of Inquiry, but they fall short of the mark to complete the outlined meeting format.

The officers are very capable in presenting ritual in a clear and concise manner, TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 87

and protocol is adhered to when the lodge is open; in the banquet hall a more relaxed attitude prevails.

Windsor (10 Lodges) R.W. Bro. Paul W. Hooper Lodge finances were a concern as they have been to my predecessors in this office. I am pleased to report that almost all of the lodges have finally recognized the importance of taking care of their finances. Several lodges are engaged in fundraising in the community, not only for their lodges but to help charitable organizations in the area, providing an excellent public relations benefit, which in turn has helped to increase our membership. Over the past several months almost all of the lodges have received petitions for membership, with some receiving several. We have now run into the problem that is so pleasant for all of us, and that is, when are we going to be able to find the time to put on all of these degrees? The biggest thing to happen in the district this year (and for many years) was the change of format for Border Cities Lodge No. 554. After languishing for many years near oblivion, the lodge decided it was time for some drastic action. With the complete support of Grand Lodge and the other lodges in the district, they changed to become a Daylight Lodge. The inaugural meeting in this new format, which was also their 75th Anniversary, was attended by the Grand Master and over 200 Masons. This event gave the entire district a big lift.

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. D. I. Greenwood, Chairman, and on motion of R.W. Bro. J. T. Cassie, seconded by R.W. Bro. Green- wood, 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:

One of the functions of this committee is to act as an advisory committee to the

Grand Master and you, sir, must be commended for the way in which you have kept this committee informed as to the wants and needs of the Craft in this jurisdiction in general, and I thank you for your co-operation.

To the Grand Secretary for the way he has kept and distributed the minutes of our many meetings, and his sometimes much needed advice and words of wisdom, I thank you.

To the members of this committee, consisting of M.W. Bro. C. E. Drew, Grand Master; M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, Grand Secretary; R.W. Bro. J. T. Cassie, Vice- chairman; and R.W. Bros. W. T. Anderson, H. N. Britton, S. H. Cohen, W. E. Elgie and H. A Leal. Your thoughtful and timely deliberations are appreciated by this Grand Lodge, especially by this chairman. 88 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

It is recommended by this committee that a suitable widows pin be made available to members of the Craft, to be presented to the widows of our departed brethren along with a card with a suitable explanation of appreciation for services rendered to the Craft.

The concerns of this committee due to the problems encountered by the Red Cross in the collection, distribution and testing of blood in the past and now under study by a judicial committee, was that we must continue to urge our members to donate blood to this very worthy cause and that we should not take part in any major campaigns.

It was the recommendation of this committee that the chairman of Public Relations purchase a suitable display unit for use in shopping malls and in our new tent, which will be used at such events as the plowing match and other outdoor activities. Our thanks go out to R.W. Bro. Hensler, P.D.D.G.M. of Bruce District, for his very generous donation of this excellent tent.

After the disastrous earthquake in Kobe, Japan, and an appeal having been received through the Masonic Service Association, a $500 donation was sent to the Grand Lodge of Japan through the M.S.A At a later meeting and having received a similar appeal from the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma on behalf of the victims of the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, a further $1,000 was forwarded through the M.S.A. to the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma, who declared that the only criteria to be a recipient of any donated funds was "need."

It was suggested by this committee that because of its acceptance by the Craft, we continue with the calendar programme for 1996 and that the return address label programme be put on hold. Instead, that the brethren be offered the opportunity to take part in a greeting card programme in 1996. The operational budgets for the various committees were reviewed by this committee and submitted to the chairman of Audit and Finance for their approval.

Much discussion took place regarding the mandate of the various committees. Each committee chairman was asked to submit his comments regarding the duties of their committee to ascertain if there was overlap, or if the needs of the Craft were being realized in their present form. A subcommittee consisting of R.W. Bros. Britton and Leal was struck to study these comments. This study will be forwarded to members of this Board in time for presentation at our next meeting, one year hence.

Brethren, it was my pleasure to report the findings of this committee to meetings of the Management Group held in November, 1994, and May of 1995.

This is respectfully submitted on behalf of the Management Committee.

D. I. GREENWOOD Chairman TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 89

REPORT OF THE LIBRARY (MUSEUM) COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. F. G. Dunn, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Dunn, 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 Library (Museum) Committee consisting of the following members: R.W. Bros. A.A. Barker, E.R. Habermehl, G.H.T. Jones, DJ. McFadgen, D.W. Townsend, R.G. Wands, T.C. Warner, G.G. Wilkes, AG. Wolfe; W. Bro. Nelson

King (Secretary), and the undersigned as chairman, it is my pleasure to submit this report.

Brethren, your committee is pleased to report that you now have a first class Library which has been expanded to two rooms on the second floor of the Grand Lodge Memorial Building at 363 King Street West, Hamilton. The larger room has been fitted with custom made shelving and three artifact corner cabinets with lighting installed. This room will be used for the Circulating Library and videotapes. The shelving in the smaller room is for the Research Library. In both rooms there are flat display cases for viewing rare books through locked glass. There is a mixture of old and new book shelves and, over time, will blend into the colour of the old, making them as one. The shelving is light oak veneer over plywood.

The Royal Arch Masons of Ontario, The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Canada and The Heritage Lodge No. 730 A.F. & AM. in Cambridge, have been invited to loan the Library their books for the brethren to use for research.

At this time I wish to recognize the faithful volunteers who have manned the Library on their shift days and nights. They are R.W. Bros. A. G. Wolfe, R. Faulds, T. Warner, V.W. Bro. C. Nicolson, W. Bros. H. Ogilvie, D. Gordon, R. Ross, J. Mannisto, R. Todd and D. Rowbottom, W. Best, J. Chamberlin. To these brethren a sincere "thank you."

This year the number of books loaned were 131 and 22 videos. Visitors to the Library — 66. Mailed out of town — 40 books and 45 videos.

The Museum and Archives are finally a reality as this subject has been brought up over the years by many brethren. The late M.W. Bro. A. Lou Copeland and R.W. Bro. W. Norman Buckingham were instrumental in getting the ball rolling after holding their first meeting and with the support of our present Grand Master, M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew, also the Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, and other brethren behind the scenes made this undertaking a success. 90 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

The mandate under which the Grand Lodge Library, Museum and Archives Committee operates is - To be responsible for the administration and staffing of the Library and Museum with personnel during specified hours as advertised. To be responsible for the acquisition and cataloguing of all books, periodicals, artifacts, archives, audiovisual materials, patents, jewels and anything of a Masonic nature. To repair, refurbish and restore where practicable books and artifacts. To provide assistance and counsel to individual Masons, lodges and districts in such matters as may fall within its competence.

The mandate as stated leaves no room in one's mind as to what books and artifacts we will be willing to receive as long as it is presentable for display purposes.

Brethren, you and you alone can make it happen. We now have the shelving space for the books and the display cases for the artifacts. "MAKE IT HAPPEN." It is our children's heritage, we must preserve it.

The Committee express their gratitude to The Heritage Lodge No. 730, Cambridge, for their generous donation of $5,000 towards shelving and display cases at the Grand Lodge Memorial Building. This presentation was made to M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew on Wednesday, November 16, 1994, at The Heritage Lodge Installation.

Through the persuasive efforts of R.W. Bro. E. R. (Ted) Habermehl, P.D.D.G.M. Waterloo District, his employer donated 10 tub chairs to which we had minor repairs made to stabilize them, and are now in use in the upper Board Room. The Royal Arch Masons of Ontario donated their board room table which was refinished. There is no need to use the lower Board Room, as a separate entrance enables the use of the upper one.

An Open House was held on Saturday, May 27, 1995, from 2:00 to 4:00 P.M. of the entire Memorial Building. Refreshments were served to a goodly number of guests and the overall improvements to the second floor were well received.

Brethren, the Grand Lodge Library, Museum and Archives are now a reality. We seek your support for artifacts, books and monetary donations that we may establish this undertaking for many generations to become a learning and show place for Masons to research and view the past.

To the Grand Secretary and his efficient staff for their constant support, we thank you.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted. F. G. DUNN Chairman TORONTO. ONTARIO, 1995 91

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET

A brief oral report was presented by the Chairman, R.W. Bro. A. R. Burgess. This report was received on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Burgess.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. E. J. Scarborough, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro.

Scarborough, 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:

I am again privileged to present the report of the Seminars and Workshops

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, 1995, there was dispersed, in the interest of benevolence, 43 grants and Christmas Gratuities from the Memorial Fund totalling $82,390. In addition, $1 1,000 was paid for services provided by our Grand Lodge staff and $5,847 was paid to the investment firm of Cassels Blaikie for management fees. Total expenditures were $99,237. Income on investments was $83,265. Hence a net deficit of $15,972.

On April 21, 1995, your committee reviewed 32 applications and anticipates more will be received. We find that amounts given by lodges ranges from $50.00 to $1,800, therefore we encourage each lodge to be as generous as possible. Your committee is aware of a smaller country lodge that on two occasions passed the hat and received $1,800 and $1,000 to assist two brethren.

It is evident to this committee that there will probably be an increased number of requests for benevolence and anticipate our total Grants of Benevolence in 1995-96 will be approximately $85,000. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 93

During the fall of 1994 members of the committee participated in five Masonic workshops in Toronto, Sioux Lookout, Thunder Bay, Peterborough and Hamilton. The presenters discovered that there is definitely an interest in benevolence throughout our Grand Jurisdiction. In each workshop we were warmly received and sincerely thanked for our presentations.

It continues to be our responsibility to assist the Lodge and District Benevolence

Chairmen in order that they can fulfil their duties and responsibilities.

A word of appreciation is extended to R.W. Bro. Kenneth L. Whiting, Supervisor of Benevolence, for his untiring efforts on behalf of benevolence and to our Grand Secretary and his staff for their assistance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee - R.W. Bros. T. R. Davies, S. H. Cohen, R. T. Runciman, H. N. Britton, W. E. Elgie; V.W. Bro. G. W. Nelson; R.W. Bros. C. G. Copeland, E. G. Finkbeiner, M. MacKenzie and E. V. Ralph.

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. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

As reported last year, your committee on Fraternal Relations recommended, for varying reasons, that no action be taken at this time on requests for recognition then on hand from seven Grand Lodges. Your committee has again reviewed these, and additional requests received during the year, and now report as follows -

The Grand Lodge of Bulgaria - Under date of April 28, 1995, we were informed by letter over the signatures of the Grand Master and Grand Secretary, and over the Seal of the Grand Lodge of Bulgaria, that some members of lodges under their protection had broken away, adopted a new Constitution, elected a new Grand Lodge of Bulgaria and a new Grand Master. It was further reported that "all the members of the lodges under the protection of the Grand Lodge who have worked and voted in an irregular way are suspended and brought to Mason Trial."

From other sources we hear that in order to bring some stability to the Masonic scene in Bulgaria, the United Grand Lodge of Germany had chartered three Regular Lodges in Bulgaria. Hence, your committee must again recommend that no action be

taken at the present time on the request for recognition on file from the Grand Lodge of Bulgaria. 94 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

The Grand Orient of Lebanon — Your committee now understands that the Grand

Lodge of New York's District Grand Lodge of Lebanon is reactivated and has eight Regular Lodges operating in Lebanon. It has further been suggested that the Grand Lodge of Scotland may also have lodges reactivated in Lebanon. With the return of regular Masonry to Lebanon, your committee finds no justification to recommend recognition of the Grand Orient of Lebanon.

Valle de Mexico - The request received from this Grand Lodge has again been revisited and, as yet, your committee's concerns re irregularities are not satisfied and hence we recommend no action be taken on this request.

The Grand Lodge of Romania — Your committee understands that, in spite of a somewhat adverse Masonic climate, a small dedicated group of Masons struggle to keep Masonry alive in Romania. It has been suggested by our European contacts that possibly one lodge only may be operational in Romania at the present time. Hence, your committee recommends that no action be taken at this time on the request for recognition of the Grand Lodge of Romania.

The Grand Lodge of Yugoslavia - Your committee can do no better than quote verbatim from the Annual Report, dated February 21, 1995, of the Commission for Recognition of the Conference of the Grand Masters of Masons in North America —

"The Grand Lodge of Yugoslavia changed its name in 1993 to the Regular Grand

Lodge of Yugoslavia. Its regular 'Annual Assembly' was held in Belgrade on June 5, 1994 under the leadership of its Grand Master, Dragan Tanasic. The Constitution was revised and other minor actions taken which do not affect its regularity. The territory of the Grand Lodge was limited by the Constitution to Serbia and Montenegro. It has survived in spite of the turbulent conditions in other parts of the old country of Yugoslavia."

This Grand Lodge deserves credit for maintaining regular Masonry in this troubled part of the world. While some of our sister jurisdictions had previously extended recognition, many have not and feel it prudent to delay any decision on recognition until after cessation of hostilities and civil strife. Your committee recommends that our Grand Lodge also await the end of hostilities ere making any further recommendation.

The Grande Loge Nationale Togolaise — The Grande Loge Nationale Togolaise was consecrated on June 6, 1992, by the Grand Lodge Nationale France. This Grand

Lodge is considered regular in all respects and, in spite of some concern expressed by many about the political climate and unrest in the general area, many Grand Lodges, including the United Grand Lodge of England, have extended recognition.

Following discussions with the sponsoring Grand Lodge Nationale France, your committee now recommends that the Grand Lodge A.F. & AM. of Canada in the Province of Ontario extend recognition to the Grande Loge Nationale Togolaise which, in our opinion, meets all requirements for recognition

The Grande Loge du Senegal — This Grand Lodge was consecrated by the Grand Lodge Nationale of France on January 16, 1993. Recognition had been requested in April, 1993; June, 1994, and, again, in March, 1995. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 95

The Commission on Information for Recognition of the Conference of The Grand

Masters of Masons in North America reported on February 22, 1994, that "It is the opinion of the Commission that the Grande Loge Du Senegal is regular, meeting all the standards of the Commission, and is entitled to recognition."

Following dialogue with several overseas Grand Lodges, including the Grand Lodge Nationale of France, and noting the United Grand Lodge of England's official recognition, your committee now recommends that "the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario extend recognition to the Grande Loge du Senegal which, in our opinion, meets all the requirements for recognition."

Grande Loja Maconica Do Estado De Rondonia — A formal request from this Grand Lodge for recognition dated February 9, 1995, was received on February 17, 1995. Your committee notes this State Grand Lodge was founded on April 10, 1985, and has operated regularly and successfully during the past decade. It is also noted that it had long since received the endorsement of the Commission on Information for Recog- nition of the Conference of the Grand Masters of Masons in North America and is presently recognized by many of our sister Grand Lodges.

Your committee respectfully recommends that the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario extend recognition to the Grande Loja Maconica Do Estado De Rondonia which, in our opinion, meets all regular requirements for recognition and should be added to the list of State Grand Lodges currently recognized in Brazil.

Comments presented one year ago concerning divisive problems existing in Greece, Italy and India might well be restated again this year; however, we content ourselves with merely referring you to the closing paragraphs in this committee's report recorded in the 1994 Proceedings of Grand Lodge.

Respectfully submitted. JAMES D. JACKSON Chairman

REPORT OF THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

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

The Membership Committee was established in July, 1993, as a special committee of Grand Lodge to address membership concerns and to enhance the Mentor Pro- gramme. In July, 1994, it was restructured to include the Ontario Mason magazine, the Mentor Programme, the "Friend to Friend" membership programme. Each sub- % GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION committee chairman reports to the whole membership committee for administrative purposes, which include progress, approval and budget items.

The Ontario Mason Magazine

Volume One, No. 2, and Volume One, No. 3, of the magazine were produced and mailed in October, 1994, and April, 1995, directly to the home of each member. They were provided at no cost to registered Ontario Masons, through your generous support of our Grand Lodge Special Promotions programme.

The many letters of endorsement and the articles provided from every corner of our Grand Jurisdiction demonstrated a continued interest in this publication. The sub- committees responsible for its composition work tirelessly to improve magazine content, to provide a quality product, and, at the same time, be prudent of maintaining costs.

The Ontario Mason magazine provides one of the most important communication links among all levels of Masonry and the member. Plans are underway for two issues during the 1995/96 Masonic year. Scheduled for October, 1995, and April, 1996, they will be produced and funded in the same manner as before.

The magazine is a pilot project until 1997, monitored on a per issue basis, the committee has reviewed alternate means of funding in the event special project monies are not available.

It is recommended that a $1.00 assessment (should funds not be available) be levied to each member, in order to subsidize publication. Tltis is the most equitable method to ensure every member receives the Ontario Mason magazine.

The Mentor Programme

Established in 1985, its purpose is to ensure that every candidate accepted is properly instructed in the fundamental principles of the Craft.

A revised Mentor Programme (completed last year) has been distributed throughout our jurisdiction. The package contains an organizational chart, together with guidelines for the D.D.G.M., guidelines for the Regional Chairman, guidelines for the District Chairman, guidelines for the Lodge Chairman, and a simplified Annual district Statistical return.

It goes on to include detailed instructions for the lodge mentor and an overview of the Mentor Programme suitable for district and/or lodge seminars. The programme itself has been developed into a user friendly package of four lectures and to date has met with the approval of those chairmen who use it to its full potential. The material is presently in an 8V2 x 11 format until refinements are made and will ultimately be produced in booklet form.

// is recommended, with the endorsement of several regional chairmen,

— the D.D.G.M. review the appointment of the District chairman, establish that he TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 97

is desirous to serve, cognizant of his responsibilities and the best motivated for the position.

— the Worshipful Master ensures the selected member is not just a name on the lodge summons, but one who has a genuine interest to serve as mentor.

The "Friend to Friend" Membership Programme A programme of Interest Renewal, Revitalization and Membership Enhancement.

In July, 1994, M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew, Grand Master, commissioned the video tape "Friend to Friend," Freemasonry in Ontario, to be completed and ready for distribution by Labour Day, 1994. Production and supply were completed by 31 AUG 94 and distribution was made (via the D.D.G.M.S) by 30 SEP 94. Regional representatives comprising members of the Board of General Purposes, with the assistance of the appointed Grand Lodge officers, were to liaise with the D.D.G.M. and assist with programme implementation. Both groups were provided with copies of the instruction manual. A tracking sheet was developed to assist the committee and report the progress of the project.

In April, 1995, a twelve-hour "think tank" meeting was held to review: what was the original programme? — September 1994; where are we now? - April 1995; where do we want to be? - July 1995 and beyond; what do we have to do now to get there? — April to July 1995.

The meeting was attended by eleven committee members and six participating guests (P. D.D.G.M.s and Grand Lodge committee chairman) and written submissions were provided by a present D.D.G.M. Our Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master attended at different times of the day to observe and participate. The purpose of our meeting was to ensure that the "Friend to Friend" membership programme perpetuates itself through 1995 and beyond. Several recommendations were developed and presented to the Grand Master and the Deputy Grand Master, Chairman of the Board of General Purposes for their consideration.

The committee recommends the establishment ofa five-yearplan, with measurements and checkpoints. An annual review of the "Friend to Friend" status, continuance of the "think tank" process, which could be expanded to facilitate other committees of Grand Lodge. All aimed to improve the Quality of our membership and focused on Total Quality Masonry.

Regional Workshops The membership session of the regional workshops held at London, Hamilton, Ottawa, North Bay, Peterborough, Thunder Bay, Sioux Lookout and Toronto in 1994 provided valuable feedback from our brethren in addressing the following questions: a) How can Masons make the Craft and Craft activities more visible in the com- munities? Feedback: Open Houses, Masonic events in local media. 98 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION b) What can be done to improve lodge meetings? Feedback: visitation, Masonic education and disperse workload to all members. c) How can the Mentor Programme be changed or improved for the benefit of all? Feedback: clear definition of roles and responsibilities, district training programme.

Several of these recommendations have already been implemented. We will con- tinue to plan for the future based on the input from throughout our jurisdiction.

The Membership Committee is presently developing a 1996 seminar presentation entitled Lodge Management;. Consultation, Consensus and Coping with change. The purpose of the seminar will be twofold: first, to examine the various techniques of lodge management that exists and to determine which approach to leadership is best suited to a modern day Craft lodge; and second, to address the management of change. The goal of the seminar will be to determine how to instill a successful management scheme in the lodge.

The committee has held nine whole membership meetings, numerous subcommittee meetings, and a twelve -hour "think tank" meeting during the past year. Sincere thanks are extended to R.W. Bro. Terry McLean, Vice-chairman, "think tank" facilitator, and my right arm. To subcommittee chairmen R.W. Bro. Jack Leitch (Mentor Programme) and R.W. Bro. Harold Stanley (the Ontario Mason) for their leadership, commitment and dedication to service. To all committee and subcommittee members that made up the Membership Team, Masonry is enhanced by your valued participation.

All of which is respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee: M.W. Bro. D. C. Bradley; R.W. Bros. W.T. Anderson, P.R. Borland, R.K. Campbell, JT. Cassie, R.C. Davies, J.S. Leitch, T.A.

T SHAND Chairman TORONTO. ONTARIO, 1995 99 REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON LODGE FINANCES

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. R. G. Wands, Chairman, and on

motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Wands, 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.

During the year, committee members, again, had the opportunity to offer advice to several lodges experiencing financial difficulties. As we reported last year, in most cases, that advice was well received and where it has been put into effect, the lodges

appear to be heading towards improving their financial conditions. Indeed, it is a source of satisfaction to receive, unsolicited, financial statements from lodges that had taken that advice and are proud to show their improved results.

In addition to working with individual lodges, members of the committee are speaking to local groups and taking part in district seminars, regional workshops, and,

most recently, the seminar here at Grand Lodge. It is interesting to note that these are not just speeches. The healthy discussions that take place and the comments about the timeliness of our presentation indicate that there are many lodges in need of assistance

and willing to accept it. At these seminars and workshops, we continue to promote and distribute copies of the July 12, 1983, report of the Advisory Committee on Lodge Finances.

Some lodges are fortunate to have the services of brethren experienced in accounting and finance, and as a result, are operating with proper records and are in good financial condition. Unfortunately, there are many lodges where that experience

is not available. For the benefit of those lodges, this committee is taking two steps to simplify the understanding of lodge finances.

In step one, the advice being given to individual lodges, groups, and seminars suggests that in addition to separating the building operation into a nonprofit, nonshare capital corporation, the finances should be segregated into four (or more, depending on the lodge) separate funds—Operating, Investment, Life Membership, and Benevolent—which would be held in four separate bank accounts or sets of investments. We then explain the purpose of each and the need to keep these separate and distinct. The understanding of the purpose of each of these funds avoids the

tendency to spend money that is designated for other purposes.

As step two, the committee is presently preparing a standard method of record- 100 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

keeping which will include a set of simple instructions for the secretary, treasurer, and auditors.

To further assist lodges, the committee is establishing a network of District Financial Advisory Committees throughout the jurisdiction in order that the advice and assistance of this committee will be available locally.

We, again, repeat our comments in last year's report regarding the operation of the lodge on dues only and the investing of initiation and affiliation fees.

In may cases, lodge dues are far too low. Witliout including the income from initiation and affiliation fees, the total of all annual dues, whether paid by dues-paying

members or paid from the life membership fund on behalf of life members, must be sufficient to cover the total annual operating cost of the lodge. In considering those dues, serious consideration must be given to eliminating different levels of dues for

resident and nonresident members. The cost of maintaining each member is the same, regardless of residence.

Initiation and affiliation fees should not be considered to be operating income. These fees must be in excess of the initiation and affiliation costs (apron, bible, Grand Lodge fees, etc.) and the excess of the fees over these costs should be transferred to

an investment account and invested, with some of the interest earned thereon used, if

necessary, to assist with the operation of the lodge. The principal amount in the

investment account is then available to cover abnormal costs which occur in all lodges from time to time.

Many lodges save on operating costs by recycling past masters' jewels. Now available

from the Grand Secretary's office is a form entitled Acknowledgement and Trust Declaration which, when signed in duplicate by a past master signifies to his executor his intention that the jewel should be returned to the lodge on his demise. One copy is filed with his will and one copy held by the lodge.

In spite of the fine explanation of the theory of life memberships in the 1983 report of this committee, improper management of the funds continues to cause problems. In some cases, the lodge failed to segregate the funds and they have been spent for

other purposes. There are many cases where the fund is too low to generate sufficient

interest to pay the dues of the life members because:

1. The lodge failed to use the table contained in the 1983 report. 2. The lodge failed to set aside funds for honourary memberships. 3. The brethren obtained their life memberships when the dues were much lower than they are today.

The burden of the cost of operating the lodge is thereby falling on the dues-paying members. Since life members cannot be assessed additional costs, an explanation to those members of the increase of costs since they obtained their memberships might result in donations to the fund. It has been found that the brethren will respond when they know there is a problem. When such donations are received, they must be TORONTO, ONTARIO. 1995 101 deposited in the life membership fund and not used for other purposes.

At the time the 1983 report was prepared, interest rates were at a high level and it was deemed that a real interest rate of 5% was sufficient to maintain the fund; however, over the long term, a real rate of between 2% and 3% is more realistic and we recommend that any lodges still making life memberships available should use the following table, based on a real rate of 3%, to ascertain the cost of a life membership. As a result, the following is a restatement of the section of the 1983 report of this committee entitled "Fund Amount Requirement," in which the rate has been changed from 5% to 3% and the ages are shown for every 5 years rather than 10 years. We also include instructions on evaluating the fund which should be done every three years.

Life Membership Fund Amount Requirements It is recommended that a sinking fund table, based upon a "real rate of return", be used to determine the amount to be charged, set aside, and held in such a sinking fund for all life members.

A correct "actuarially determined sinking fund" would require a different rate for each attained age. For simplicity, a rate has been determined for each 5-year age grouping. Such a sinking fund table takes into account how long the members in each group are anticipated to live. As age increases, there will be less members alive to require the expenses to be paid. Averages may not apply to only 1 or 2 members.

However for a group of 200 (or more), if the proper sinking funds are set aside and the rules followed of only withdrawing the proper expenses, the fund will be expected to be sufficient for all the members.

"Real Rate of Return" is defined as the excess interest earnings over the rate of inflation. Historically, there are fluctuations in both interest rates and inflation and high interest rates are usually caused by high current, high past, or anticipated high future inflation rates. There have been periods when the real rates of interest have been negative, but the average historical real rates of return are between 2% and 3%. If interest rates are 8% and inflation is 5%, the real rate of return is 3%. If interest rates are 9% and inflation is 12%, then the real rate of return is negative 3%. (This has been part of history.) If interest rates exceed the real rate of return, the excess of the interest earnings over the actual expenses of the life members must be retained in the sinking fund to cover future inflated expenses.

The following tables show the amounts to be charged and set aside for the "Annual

Expense" component of a life membership, based upon a real rate of return of 3%. Initiation and affiliation fees and commuted Grand Lodge dues are to be considered as additional required payments.

To determine the amounts to be transferred to the Life Membership sinking fund for your lodge, multiply the annual lodge cost per member by the amount in Column

A If, by lodge bylaws, a free life membership is to be granted after 30 years of membership, an amount should be set aside, at initiation, of the amount determined 102 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

by multiplying the annual cost by the factor in Column C. Similarly, if the lodge grants

free life membership at the age of 65, then a similar calculation is required at initiation using Column B.

REPORT OF THE DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE

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

motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by M.W. Bro. Byrne, it was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful 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, your committee begs leave to report on its activities in the area of Masonic Discipline since the last Communication of Grand Lodge in July of 1994.

For four successive years, ending in 1993, no Masonic trials were brought before

your committee. However, this year I am pleased to report that your committee has not had to deal with any Masonic trials, or the decisions rendered at such trials.

In fact, the provisions for a Certificate of Severance brought into our Rules Respecting Masonic Trials in 1989, may have given some erring Masons an opportunity without a full-scale Masonic trial and the resultant concern, embarrassment and, in some cases, disruption within the lodge, to quietly sever their relationship with the Craft and avoid any real feelings of guilt and embarrassment, which do not really serve any useful purpose for the accused, the accuser or the lodge.

This year, in accordance with the Constitution, your committee chairman has reviewed and directed the Grand Secretary to issue three Certificates of Severance to three brethren who applied under Section 410.1. In every case, your committee chairman ascertained that no coercion or undue pressure was brought to bear on the accused brother and that his request for a Certificate of Severance was of his own volition, and something he wanted to do to ease the path leading to his severance from the Craft, equal to indefinite suspension. One brother had been convicted of fraud by the Courts and two had been convicted of assorted acts of physical violence.

Masonic complaints were filed against three brethren in our jurisdiction and, after a thorough review by a Reviewing Committee, the committee found that there were no reasonable grounds to support each respective complaint. The report of the Reviewing Committee was referred to your committee, as required by Section 412(c) TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 105 and the complaints stand dismissed. In one instance, the Grand Master was called in to see that a conflict of interest did not arise where the complainant, a Worshipful Master of his lodge, attempted to appoint a Reviewing Committee to review his own complaint. Our Grand Master, being aware that justice must not only BE done, but APPEAR to be done, directed assistance from a DDGM to conduct a review of the evidence. That was done, and a ruling of no reasonable grounds was made. Your committee thanks that DDGM for his timely efforts, and congratulates him on an untasteful job well done.

No Masonic trials took place accordingly in our jurisdiction this past year, and it is hoped that this indicates that good common sense, toleration of private piques and quarrels and acceptance of a Certificate of Severance may be the beginning of a new trend for your committee.

Your committee, in general, would stress again two important principles. Firstly, if a criminal or quasi criminal act is involved with the complaint, every brother from the accuser to the Master of the lodge to the members of the Reviewing Committee should be absolutely certain that a criminal or other Court of competent jurisdiction has had a trial and dealt with the matter, and that the time for appeal has clearly expired BEFORE any Masonic charge is ever laid. Caution is extremely important, for if an accused brother is improperly charged or tried or improperly dealt with Masonically, the complainant, the lodge, the Worshipful Master, the Officers and each and every member could stand a real chance of being on the wrong end of the civil court action for damages (real or imagined), and generally this is not something that is easily covered by insurance. This is not idle speculation. Your chairman can recite several incidences where civil actions were only averted at the very last hour. All so unnecessary if those involved had sought proper help and guidance. Your committee stands ready and willing to assist at all times.

The second principle has been presented to you in several reports of this committee in years gone by, but that advice seems to fall on deaf ears and certain isolated (thank goodness) cases. In short, Masonic charges and trials are not the place, nor the way to prefer petty personal piques and quarrels, which inevitably turn into causes "celebre" with some brethren on one side and some on the other. It is extremely divisive and upsetting to the lodge itself and to most of the other brethren who are at some distance from the centre of the fray. In almost every case, when a brother's esteem or pride has been threatened or challenged or where he may feel he has been seriously wronged by a brother Mason, your committee recommends that such brother should attempt to talk the matter out, seek assistance of another brother or brethren, or exercise Masonic charity and toleration (even in large doses) rather than resort to the

consulting with Section 410 of the Constitution to see if he can find a Section that "fits" the perceived wrong, and then proceeding with the laying of a Masonic complaint. In most cases, these complaints are considered and reviewed by a Reviewing Committee, and no reasonable grounds are found and that becomes, or should be, the end of the

matter, but not without cost. The aggrieved brother is frustrated because Masonry didn't jump in to solve his personal problem and winds up feeling wronged, persecuted

and isolated; the Worshipful Master is faced with appointing a Reviewing Committee 106 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

(usually after consulting with the DDGM and/or the Grand Secretary), the committee members take the time and trouble to do a strange and unpleasant task, and the Grand Secretary gets into (in some cases) reams of correspondence and your committee has to review the findings of the Reviewing Committee. All to no avail.

Surely charity, toleration, a little common sense and a big helping of brotherly love would produce a much better result for all concerned. Your committee knows it is easy to say, but the exercise of the aforementioned Masonic virtues will produce much better results for an aggrieved brother, the lodge and even Grand Lodge, than the laying of Masonic charges in the heat of passion for a "personal" affront or wrong doing. The test may well be "has this brother clearly and unequivocally offended Free

Masonry generally? — or is it just me?" A serious question, which deserves a serious answer.

In closing, your committee goes on record as being available through the Grand Secretary's office or through the chairman personally to aid and assist every brother with respect to a Masonic complaint, charge or trial. It is easier to ask at the beginning of a Masonic trial problem than wait until it is too late.

Your committee extends its thanks to the Grand Secretary for his untiring efforts with respect to Masonic trials and discipline committee matters, which he handles on a regular basis throughout the year between the annual meetings of this committee.

Your committee also extends its thanks to the several brethren of this jurisdiction who have assisted during the past year with Masonic Reviewing Committees and similar matters.

As chairman of the committee, I personally extend my sincere thanks to each member of the committee for being available for your guidance and assistance, and for your support of the Craft through your work on this committee.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted.

Norman E. Byrne, P.G.M. Chairman

REPORT OF THE GRAND HISTORIAN

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. W. 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. & AM. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Once again, the Grand Historian must thank the Grand Master for honouring him TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 107

with this office. His duties, as set forth in the Book of Constitution, concern "the history of Grand Lodge." One may hope that the Historians of the constituent lodges are carrying out their responsibilities, but the Grand Historian has no authority over them.

When we were casting about for a possible topic for this year's report, the Grand

Master suggested that it might be appropriate to talk about the Reports submitted to Grand Lodge by the District Deputy Grand Masters. As we noted last year, from the beginning of our Grand Lodge these officers have supervised the lodges in their Districts. Their reports were first printed in the Proceedings for 1857. Gradually, as the mumber of lodges increased, and perhaps for other reasons, the amount of space required for the reports likewise increased. In 1863 it was 25 pages. By 1889 it had risen to 73, and by 1902 to 253. This amounted, in some instances, to more than half of the volume, and it clearly involved a substantial expense. From time to time, other Grand Lodges commented, both negatively and positively. Thus, in our volume for 1905, we are told that Oregon spoke of our printed proceedings as follows: "The most cumbersome feature ... is the publishing in full the reports of the District Deputies, some of which are all right when they really have something to say, but a majority are living only words, words, and then some more words. . . . We doubt if there is a man who ever read it all unless it is the proofreader" (li-lii). And conversely, the reviewer from Illinois "thinks that the reports of our District Deputies command more attention than any other part of the Proceedings, being so detailed and comprehensive" (xviii).

Obviously our own authorities were aware of the problem. Thus, in 1927 (when the

reports still filled 193 pages) one of the District Deputies mentioned a suggestion of the Grand Master that the reports should "be limited to certain space" (123). Gradually the comments on constituent lodges were curtailed, and synoptic reports became more common. But as late as 1937, more than one third of them still remarked on individual lodges. Apparently in 1937/8 the new Grand Secretary, E. G. Dixon, took a firmer line. From then on, specific lodges are hardly mentioned at all. The publication of the reports continued until 1970, when the practice ceased, and for the last twenty-five years, no District reports have been distributed.

In earlier days one could derive a bit of joy, or at least interest, from the observations made by the District Deputy Grand Masters. Perhaps we might look at a few of the old reports, selected almost at random, and see what they had to say.

In the Proceedings for 1889, these reports fill 75 pages. At least nine times we are told that the Deputy Grand Master, John Ross Robertson, had visited the District, to deliver his lecture on "The Craft History of Canada for a Century Past," at various centres from Windsor (63) to Ottawa (127).

Just to underline how far the value of money has changed, we may note that one

lodge was allowed to make a change in its by-laws, "reducing annual dues from 25 [cents] per month to $1.00 per annum" (68). Other lodges met in rented halls, for which they paid variously $25.00 a year (71, 75), $44.00 a year (73), or as much as $50.00 a year (76). 108 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

A District Deputy's life always has complications, perhaps even more in those days. A lodge in Toronto, we are told, was located in the centre of a smallpox epidemic, and was "not permitted to assemble for about three months, as directed by the Board of Health" (103). At another lodge, only four members showed up for the official visitation (72). On one occasion, the District Deputy was challenged with "regard to the constitutionality of the lectures which I deliver, they being entirely different to the lectures issued by the Grand Lodge" (73).

Occasionally we find that the language has changed and the old expressions may be unfamiliar. For example, permission was granted for one lodge "to change their regular night of meeting from Wednesday on and after to Wednesday on or before" (66). In the days before motor vehicle headlights, meetings tended to be held with reference to the full moon. Thus, in 1889, out of 352 lodges in the jurisdiction, 247 (or 70%) set

their meetings by the moon. (In 1994 one lodge still kept this practice.)

Inevitably the D.D.G.M. gains a clearer insight into some of the problems confronting the lodges. In 1893 one of them stated that "my impression is that Lodges would profit by re-electing Masters to a second or third term of office when they succeed in getting a competent Bro. to preside over them" (61).

In the Proceedings for 1893, the District reports cover 190 pages. We have mentions of lodges being heavily damaged by fire, at West Lome (68), Port Stanley (100), Thamesford (101), St Thomas (104), Waterford (130), Bradford (159), Port Dalhousie (163), and Sundridge (255). During the year Kivas Tully had addressed the Toronto Past Master's Association, on "Reminiscences of Irish Lodges in Canada;" his talk was printed in full (192-8), as an appendix to the District Deputy's report.

One D.D.G.M. commented on the serving of beverages at the hour of refreshment.

He had observed no instances of intemperance and excess, and stated, "it is my belief that the practice of prudence and temperance is well observed under the present system of voluntary local option, and would not be improved under any prohibitory enactment" (151). This matter continued to be discussed in later years, until finally, in 1948, the Grand Master, M.W. Bro. T. H. Simpson, issued a directive, stating that "the serving, use or consumption of intoxicants at any function held under Masonic auspices or at any gathering of Craft Masons is prohibited." It remained in effect until M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey's Directive in 1972, which allowed that "alcoholic beverages may be served in a banquet room or auditorium in Masonic buildings" on certain specific and infrequent occasions.

Other ideas as well recur. Several of the reports argue that lodge officers should be elected or installed in June, so that their terms would run concurrently with those of the D.D.G.M.s (170; 236). (The same idea was proposed by the Grand Master in

1988, under the heading "New Ideas.") In recent years we have also heard that it takes a while to become acquainted with the duties of the D.D.G.M., and so he should serve for two years; actually this suggestion was offered in 1893 (245).

At one of the official visits, "the meeting was delayed by the unavoidable absence TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 109

of the W.M., . . . who had been unexpectedly called to see a patient, and did not return till nearly 10 p.m. ... On [his] return the third degree was conferred" (122). Other gems from 1893 include the fact that at one lodge the candidate "had come over from Pelee Island in an ice boat" (72). Elsewhere, the meeting was disrupted by "the discordant sounds which emanated from an ill-conducted band," practising in an adjacent room (181). One D.D.G.M. deplored "the old-time habit of playing some practical jokes at the expense of 3rd degree candidates" (96).

Other matters mentioned in the reports for this year are the dedication of the Masonic monument in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto (as part of the Centenary Celebration), and the death of William G. Storm, D.D.G.M. for Toronto in 1861, the architect of the building in which I work (171).

In the Proceedings for 1905, the reports cover 260 pages. Virtually every one mentions the local campaigns in support of the Semi-Ceniennial Benevolent Fund.

Two years before, the Grand Master, M.W. Bro. J. E. Harding, had proposed that a fund of $100,000 should be raised, to be "kept separate and apart from all other funds of Grand Lodge, and the interest reserved for the special benefit of extreme cases of distress." In 1934 it was amalgamated with the Memorial Fund, which had been raised for the same purpose in connection with the 75th Anniversary. The combined fund is still in existence, with capital of over one million dollars.

Problems of transportation continued to plague the District Deputies. One of them was "unable to make train connections", and had to delegate his inspection to another

(105). Another reports, "a general blockade of trains existed, and I did not reach the town until about 10 p.m." (150). Or again, "I was sorry I could not wait till the meeting was over, as I was compelled to return by the midnight train" (334). Or again, "About three miles from Milton the train got stuck in a snow bank, and the report was that we would have to stay there till morning" (172). Or on another occasion, the D.D.G.M. travelled on a steam yacht; he arrived at the mouth of a river, about a mile from his destination, at 7.30 p.m. "While trying to make the entrance we ran on a sand bar. There we were forced to remain for some hours. By means of a punt from a

neighboring island, I finally succeeded in reaching the lodge room at 10.30 p.m." (343).

Even after half a century, there was still trouble in promoting the Canadian ritual. In one district, "the work was of an old type and not in the form authorized and desired by Grand Lodge" (333-4). Several reports indicate that the final charge in the various degrees was still being read out of the Book of Constitution, instead of being

delivered from memory (100, 132). And there is mention of a startling innovation that has since become standard. One lodge actually required the candidates "to memorize their obligation before passing from each degree to a higher" (349). There are

occasional ironic comments. "I was surprised at the various ways in which it is possible to give the casual signs, as exhibited in this instance" (301). And again, one W.M. was an ordained clergyman, and we are told that he "conferred the E.A. and M.M.'s degrees in an impressive manner, showing familiarity with his subject, but like nearly

all brethren who follow his calling in life, expressed his knowledge of it to a considerable extent in his own language" (308). 110 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

The D.D.G.M. continued to offer wise advice. One lodge conferred a total of sixty- five degrees during the year. "So much degree work has presented itself during the past year as to turn what should be a pleasure into toil and late hours" (299). Again, "The initiation fee should be raised from $30 to $50 or even $60. Freemasonry is too cheap" (312). And again, "banquets are a mistake unless indeed instructive addresses are given" (313). On one occasion, a lodge presented Past Masters' jewels to three brethren, and only four months later to four more. The D.D.G.M. complained that

"handing out these jewels in shovelfuls leaves a bad impression on the mind, is liable to create a wrongful idea of the value of this rank for young members, and probably lead them to believe that no matter what their conduct may be on attaining the P.M. rank, they will get a jewel" (303).

There are mentions of several brethren who achieved distinction outside the Craft: Rev. David Williams, [M, 1859-1931], of Stratford Lodge, No 332, Bishop of Huron, and later Metropolitan of Ontario (123); and Hon. James Sutherland (CM, 1849-1905), of Oxford Lodge, No 76, Federal Minister of Public Works (146).

In 1919 about fifteen of the reports mention the influenza epidemic. This year saw a tremendous influx of new members. One lodge received 43 applications for initiation and 9 for affiliation at one meeting (102); another had 61 initiations and 11 affiliations during the year (165). Once again, we have mentions of notable Masons: Joseph E. Armstrong, M.P. for Lambton East, known as the Father of Rural Mail Delivery in Canada (106), and Hon. Gideon Decker Robertson (CM, 1874-1933), Federal Minister of Labour (208). One other interesting feature of this year's Proceedings is the publication of the Honour Roll (315-331), indicating that 7396 brethren from this jurisdiction had served in the armed forces during the Great War, and listing the names of 560 that had made the Supreme Sacrifice.

In 1927 the musical ritual is mentioned frequently. One D.D.G.M. suggested that

"more interest might be kindled in lodge if the musical ritual were used in working the degrees" (144). (The Masonic Musical Ritual had been published "early in 1918.") We may be relieved that one custom seems to have passed out of favour since 1927. That year, in one district, there was a joint Installation and investiture for four lodges (135); in another, there was a joint installation for ten lodges (163).

One D.D.G.M. in 1927 provided good advice. "I would strongly recommend the raising of the annual dues so that the lodge would not have to depend on the initiation

fee to pay the running expenses. I am afraid that, owing to lack of funds, there is sometimes a tendency to admit men who will not ultimately reflect honour on our choice" (115). Another suggested that poor attendance was due in part to "uninteresting entertainment at our banquets," where there were "too many unnecessary addresses by Past Masters and Ruling Masters" (277). Notable Masons mentioned include Right Rev. Charles Allen Seager (M, 1872-1948), of Ionic Lodge, No 25, Bishop of Ontario, and later Metropolitan of Ontario (135), and Dr Lome Pierce (MC, 1890-1961), of Harmony Lodge, No 379, a distinguished author and editor (241). TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1 995 111

In the reports for 1939, one D.D.G.M. observed that the attendance was better "when some special educational topic was a feature than when degree work only was the order of business" (106). Another pointed out that "short informative talks are very much desired by the brethren, but they are very impatient with masonic talks that go far beyond what they are able to comprehend or appreciate" (197). The same volume of the Proceedings mentions the death of William H. Shaw (1858-1939), who in 1892 had founded the Shaw Business Schools of Toronto (263); he had been D.D.G.M. for Toronto West in 1907.

According to the reports for 1945, in the months following the conclusion of the war in Europe, there were still gasoline restrictions and rationing of tires (120, 131). This naturally curtailed activities. On one occasion, the guest speaker was unable to attend, because the Department of Transport had cancelled all civilian reservations (149). We are told that "Masters are opening their lodges on time, using programs and timetables with the desired result of closing the lodges between 11.00 and 1 1.30 p.m." (154). One report gave the strange advice that "each lodge be urged to appoint a Historian" (178).

Likewise in 1945, a number of districts announced that they had made donations on behalf of a lodge in the north country. It turned out that, the year before, the Grand Master had explained that the lodge was in bad shape financially, and was on the point of losing its premises. The brethren of Ontario came through with flying colours. They paid off the amount that was owing to Grand Lodge, discharged the mortgage, put a new roof on the building, and provided substantial funds for rehab- ilitation and redecoration.

This is just a brief sample of the fascinating information that may be gleaned from the published reports. For the last twenty-five years, when no detailed reports were generally available, we have not been privileged to learn such details. The actual reports are, I believe, in the offices of Grand Lodge. It might be useful, and would certainly be entertaining, for some volunteers to go through these, and prepare annual summaries, of a somewhat more event-oriented sort than the Report on the Condition of Masonry.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted. WALLACE McLEOD Grand Historian 112 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CONSTITUTION AND JURISPRUDENCE

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 has received for its consideration a Notice of Motion the effect of which, if passed, would grant to District Deputy Grand Masters the authority to grant dispensations for holding or taking part in Lodges of Instruction, District Divine Services and public Remembrance Day Services. Since dispensations for Lodges of Instruction are presently provided for in S-102 of the Book of Constitution, this report will only consider the two remaining matters.

Historically, the power to grant dispensations has rested with the Grand Master as one of his prerogatives. The Book of Constitution, in S-143, clearly states that no public procession of brethren as Masons, except for a Masonic Memorial Service, can take place without the dispensation of the Grand Master. Research indicates that there was a time in the early history of our Grand Lodge that this exception only applied when the situation was so urgent that the Grand Master or the District Deputy Grand Master could not be contacted in a timely manner. Now, however, there are no qualifications to this exception.

It would appear that this exception was originally based on urgency due to time constraints and eventually became absolute because of the number of requests for dispensations. Your committee is of the opinion that there is usually considerable lead time in planning and organizing the events contemplated in the proposed amendment, and in this era of rapid communication urgency is not an issue. Based on information received from the office of the Grand Secretary, the number of requests for dispen- sations is not so excessive as to put additional pressure on the staff.

Your committee also appreciates, with reference to a parade or public procession, that if you are not the organizer or leader you do not have very much, if any, control over the procession. Based on past experience the Grand Master or the Grand Secretary may be aware of situations which would prompt them to ask very pertinent questions. The District Deputy Grand Master, not having this experience, may grant a dispensation which in hindsight should have been more carefully scrutinized.

In conclusion, your committee respectfully submits that the complete transfer of these powers to the District Deputy Grand Master is a derogation of the historical and traditional powers of the Grand Master which cannot be sustained on the basis of urgency or volume of requests for dispensations. Your committee, therefore, concludes TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 113

that the proposed amendment is not regular.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the committee.

R. T. RUNCIMAN Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC RELATIONS

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

Most Worshipful Sir, it is a privilege to present this report on behalf of the members of the Grand Lodge Committee on Public Relations - R.W. Bros. Clarence Bell, Thomas Crowley, Donald Mumby, David Patterson, Michael Rogozynski, David Sheen, Alvin Smith; V.W. Bros. Bob Bailey, Thomas Hansen and W. Bro. Michael Brellisford, and the undersigned as chairman.

Your chairman wishes to acknowledge their dedication, contribution and support during this Masonic year. Coupled with the many proposals and recommendations received from our membership, the committee have been able to achieve their mandate: "To create a greater public perception of Freemasonry in our community."

The thrust of the Grand Lodge Public Relations Committee in the 1994-95 Masonic year has been primarily in the following areas:

1. The Masonic Information Booth 2. The Widow's Brooch 3. The Updating and Refinement of the Open House Program 4. The Co-Ordination of Requirements Relative to the International Plowing Match

5. The Public Relations Seminar Programme

The Masonic Information Display Exhibit The introduction of the new, Canadian manufactured modular portable Masonic

Information Display Exhibit is extremely versatile. The multi-configuration is designed to provide a total system that will meet all the requirements of the different venues in which it will be employed, i.e. the Lodge Room, Open Houses, Community Groups, Indoor Shopping Centres, Fall Fairs, International Plowing Match etc. 114 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

The exhibit system, 10' wide x 8' high, adapts into a 10' x 10' square format for display purposes, can also be reduced to accommodate 4' x 8', 6' x 8', 4' x 4', 4' x 10', 4' x 8' configuration equipped with back lighting, two (2) case to table units. The Masonic Information Display Exhibit will reinforce our commitment to a first class quality presentation.

The graphics offer an uncluttered simplicity and convey a Masonic philosophy that is timeless in our Grand Jurisdiction.

The marketing of the Masonic Information Display Exhibit will be executed in two separated phases. Each of our newly elected District Deputy Grand Masters will receive a presentation kit at the Annual Grand Lodge Communication. A like presentation kit will be forwarded to every lodge in our Grand Jurisdiction prior to

September 1, 1995.

Please accept our invitation to visit the Masonic Information Display Exhibit at the Annual Grand Lodge Communication.

Personnel from the Grand Lodge Public Relations Committee will be in attendance to answer questions and confirm reservations relative to this exciting new communications vehicle.

The Widow's Brooch Responding to the recommendations of our membership, the Grand Lodge of Canada A.F. & AM. in the Province of Ontario have endorsed the new Masonic Widow's Brooch.

The new Masonic Widow's Brooch, designed by Canadians as an emblem to reflect a symbol of our continued concern and honour the widow of a brother Mason. Crafted by Lee's of Hamilton, the new Masonic Widow's Brooch reflects the skilled craftsmanship and the tradition of quality this Canadian manufacturer has employed since 1886.

To compliment the moment of presentation to our widows and perfectly portray the importance of the new Masonic Widow's Brooch, a royal blue etched with gold presentation kit is included with every Brooch. The presentation kit is complete with a printed message for the respective widow, coupled with an explanation of the design.

There is no substitute for quality, and the benchmark of quality is synonymous with Freemasonry. We sincerely believe the new Masonic Widow's Brooch comes with the assurance that it will meet the highest expectations of our brethren in this Grand Jurisdiction.

The recipient will cherish forever this beautiful piece of jewellery and the honour bestowed upon her in recognition of a dedicated brother Mason, a member of your Masonic Lodge. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 115

The Grand Lodge Committee on Public Relations have produced an information kit relative to the Widow's Brooch. A copy of same will be forwarded to every Masonic Lodge in our Grand Jurisdiction. Consistent with our policy of communication, each newly elected District Deputy Grand Master will receive a copy of the information kit at the Annual Grand Lodge Communication.

The Open House Programme The Open House Programme continues to be one of the most successful vehicles promoting a favourable public perception of Freemasonry in our community. As in previous years, there are multiple articles, chronicled and documented to be shared within our Grand Jurisdiction.

It is our experience that the lodge who plan their work five to six months in advance, and work their plan, are triumphant in attaining a very favourable conclusion to their planned event. With the introduction of the "Friend to Friend" programme, several of our lodges have chosen to incorporate the programme into their Open House Programme.

Affirming this concept, R.W. Bro. Harvey Street, D.D.G.M. Georgian South

District, under the auspices of Kempenfeldt Lodge No. 673, Barrie, is to be congratulated for his endeavours to ensure an outstanding and rewarding evening, conceived to create a greater understanding of our Fraternity within the community.

The International Plowing Match For eighty-two years the International Plowing Match has provided the agricultural community with an occasion to come together to test skills and techniques in competition, to exhibit the latest technology and to celebrate the tradition of rural living and farming in Ontario.

Your chairman wishes to acknowledge with sincere appreciation the contribution and commitment made by R.W. Bro. Wally Hightower and the brethren of Ottawa

Districts 1 and 2 during the four-day extravaganza held in Pembroke, Ontario, in September, 1994.

One thousand acres of magnificent Waterloo region will be turned into a new dimension in 1995. This year the streets and avenues will form the curves and spokes of a wagon wheel - a Conestoga wagon wheel! Its a new dimension that will entertain, inform and educate.

The Masons of Waterloo District, under the leadership of R.W. Bro. Colin Heap, W. Bro. Norman Bobier, Co-chairman, and "The Waterloo Team" will host the Masonic exhibit for this great International event. You are invited to experience the past, see the future and feel the pride September 19-23, 1995, in Ayr, Ontario.

This year your Grand Lodge is the recipient of a most generous endowment in the form of a Display Tent, 20' x 40' in size, in our corporate colours of blue and white. 116 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

In recognition of this contribution, may I as your chairman present a motion of gratitude to the benefactor, R.W. Bro. Edward Hensler, P.D.D.G.M. Bruce District.

The Public Relations Seminar Programme In this Masonic year, members of the Grand Lodge Committee on Public Relations and your chairman participated in five Public Relations Seminars held in Hamilton, Peterborough, Sioux Lookout, Thunder Bay and Toronto.

Your committee wishes to acknowledge the many suggestions and recommen- dations expressed by the brethren attending the seminars, several of which have been incorporated into creating a greater awareness of Freemasonry in Ontario.

In conclusion, your chairman is indebted to the District Deputy Grand Masters and Grand Lodge, in particular the Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, and members of his staff, for their contribution and support.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee.

REPORT OF THE GRAND CHAPLAIN

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. David Wilkinson, Grand Chaplain.

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 Grand Master appointed me Grand Chaplain of the Province of Ontario which one can only cover a small area of the same. Nevertheless, that title alone made me aware of the extreme privilege of being honoured in such a special way.

The majority of the members of our cherished Fraternity will only know the Grand

Chaplain by name and that albeit in a year that passes all too soon to accomplish all

you had intended. What was accomplished, however, is to be hoped that the quality our Grand Master was imparting was present in some measure from myself as Grand Chaplain. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 117

I have made many new friends and renewed past friendships through my visits to various districts in the province and, as always, visiting strengthens the bond among us. Receptions for the Grand Master were always a highlight of the year and many anniversaries were celebrated. All of these were, of course, followed by an equal number of well prepared banquets.

I must say that each of the occasions I attended were a credit to the individual lodges and their respective District Deputy Grand Masters, and memorable was the fact that a full house was the standard response from all the brethren.

The Grand Master, M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew and his wife Ellen-Orr were present on those occasions as were the ladies of our Grand Lodge Officers. The presence of the ladies made our celebrations doubly rewarding and a "Thank You" from all of us. Your thoughtfulness was appreciated in that regard.

The Annual Divine Service for the seven Toronto Districts was well attended and my thanks for the support given on that October evening, my first appearance as Grand Chaplain. Our thanks to Trinity Presbyterian Church for their hospitality and to Rev. Gordon A. Beaton for his co-operation and contribution.

The following Divine Services were held at the following locations and occasions — Fallingbrook Presbyterian Church in celebration of the 75th Anniversary of Antiquity

Lodge, District 7. In addition, a Waterloo District Divine Service held at St. Luke's United Church, Cambridge and at Zion-Wexford United Church, Scarborough, for the

Divine Service for District 4. Zion-Wexford is the Church which your Grand Chaplain has been serving since October, 1994, till the present time and ending official service in mid-August 1995.

Two Memorial Services were conducted, one Funeral Service and one Building Dedication at Sundridge. As a member of the Condition of Masonry Committee, I have been made aware of the amount of work accomplished by the District Deputy Grand Masters.

This has been a good year for our Fraternity in Ontario and, with the leadership of the Grand Master and support of the Grand Lodge Officers and most certainly the favourable response of each and every brother to the leadership, culminated in a year of much promise for the future of Masonry.

In closing, may I be permitted to use my theme expression for my year and challenge you in your continued endeavours within and without the Fraternity. My theme question was, when you can say, "On this one thing I am absolutely certain," and that one thing is worthy of your attention, your time and talents, is of good report, tried and trusty and a benefit to yourself and beyond yourself, then you have a purpose and a message for the society and community in which you live and indeed for the world. 118 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Therefore, treasure your Masonic tradition, celebrate it, share it and encourage

others by your quality of Masonry to the service of God, Ruler and Master of us all!

Fraternal greetings. God Bless. DAVID WILKINSON Grand Chaplain

REPORT ON THE MASONIC FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO

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:

As President of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario and on behalf of its Board of

Directors, it is my privilege to present this report at the Thirty-second Annual Meeting at the Royal York Hotel, Tuesday, July 18, 1995.

I am indebted to the Chairmen and Board Members of the various committees for

providing detailed reports, which I will summarize.

Introduction The past year, as President of your Masonic Foundation, has proved to be a challenging experience. The first priority was to restore a quality relationship of Grand Lodge and the Masonic Foundation. To achieve this goal, meetings were held with distinguished Masons to establish the selection process. Both worked in concert to develop a means by which to identify those best qualified to serve as members of the Board of Directors.

Meetings were held with M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew, Grand Master, M.W. Bro.

Norman E. Byrne, P.G.M., R.W. Bro. Durward I. Greenwood, Deputy Grand Master, and our Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, representing Grand Lodge, together with R.W. Bro. James T. Cassie and myself representing our Masonic Foundation. A consensus was developed for the creation of new bylaws that would provide for the restructuring of the members of the Board of Directors and the nominating process.

I am indebted to H. N. Britton, J. T. Cassie, A. F. Rodger and, in particular, H. A. Leal for their valued assistance in the preparation of this proposal for presentation to the membership.

Acknowledgment

It is appropriate that we should remember with gratitude those Directors who have served and retired from the Board in July, 1994, and those who are to retire in July, 1995. Each has given extensively of his energy, time and talents to structure a strong, positive future for our Foundation. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 119

Our sincere thanks are extended, for a job well done, to: Norman E. Byrne, Jack Moore, Dr Alan N. Newell, Dr N. Richard Richards, E. James Scarborough, C. John Woodburn.

We respectfully submit this report on behalf of the Board of Directors.

T. JOHN ARTHUR President

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MASONIC EDUCATION

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. R. A. Barnett, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Barnett, 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 your Grand Lodge Committee on Masonic Education, it is my privilege to present this report to this 140th Communication of our Grand Lodge.

Your committee is unanimous in its appreciation of all the work that has been done by the District and Lodge Chairmen of Masonic Education. It is by their dedication and continued efforts that the greatest numbers of opportunities for Masonic Education are made available each year to Masons in every lodge and district. This year saw many examples of the continued success of long established district programmes as well as successful new initiatives. We salute all those who worked to provide Masonic Education this year.

There are three ongoing programmes that are in the care of this committee; the Correspondence Course, the Quarterly Newsletter publication and the promotion of the Toastmaster's Speechcraft Dynamics course.

THE CORRESPONDENCE COURSE This year saw the changing of the guard for this successful and growing programme. The Correspondence Course began in 1983 under the chairmanship of (then) R.W. Bro. Bill Pellow with M.W. Bro. N. R. Richards and (then) R.W. Bro. David Bradley as co-chairmen of curriculum, and R.W. Bros. Frank Bruce and Edsel Steen as co-administrators. On December 15, 1994, Edsel Steen, the last to retire of the original team that established the course, did so after eleven faithful years as Course Administrator. R.W. Bro. Steen has been an untiring champion of the course

and it survives and continues to grow today because of his efforts. At the Chatham District Reception in March, our Grand Master presented R.W. Bro. Steen with a special commendation for his contributions to the Craft. Our Grand Master is well 120 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION aware of the work by R.W. Bro. Steen, his assistant, R.W. Bro. Peter Polkinghorne (also retiring), and the course mentors who receive, review and return "student" papers through the Course Administrator. All of the present committee have enjoyed working with R.W. Bros. Steen and Polkinghorne and we offer our heartfelt "well done."

I am happy to report that with the help of R.W. Bro. Ted Peters, that a new Course Administrator and a co-administrator have been recruited and that the work of getting all course materials updated and on disk and a new data base for course subscribers is well underway. V.W. Bro. Syd Lowe and Bro. Larry Fitchett, both from London, both retired, and both very dedicated to their roles as administrators have joined the Grand Lodge Masonic Education team to ensure continuity of the Correspondence Course programme.

Some statistics on the Correspondence Course:

From September, 1993, to December 15, 1994, total student enrolment was 1,227 and they accounted for 1,723 courses.

Since December 15, 1994, 88 courses have been mailed out to brethren representing 28 different districts.

Since December 15, 1994, 27 certificates have been mailed to 12 District Deputy Grand Masters for presentation to successful "students" in their respective districts. Our course materials continue to be requested from outside of our jurisdiction and, so far this year, have been sent to the Grand Lodges of both Manitoba and The Bahamas. The courses represent an important Masonic Education opportunity and we have been most fortunate in the calibre of those who established it in 1983, those who have maintained it over the years, and those who are now moving it along to better handle the increased enrolment and today's necessity for instant updates and faster response times. Finally, our thanks to R.W. Bro. Terry Shand and the editorial team of the "Ontario Mason" for including information about the Correspondence Course in that publication.

THE QUARTERLY "NEWSLETTER"

Vol. 14, No. 1 was mailed on schedule but No. 2 and No. 3 were delayed and were sent out together in May. Subsequent issues should continue on schedule. The kind words and encouragement from the brethren are appreciated and the sales of the hard bound editions at Grand Lodge and the growing subscribers list continues to show support for this effort. The first issue of "Newsletter" was published in January, 1981. The programme was guided by (then) R.W. Bros. Wallace McLeod and David Bradley.

The present "crew" has been involved since 1986. The current effort to get all back issues on disk and also a complete index is well on the way to completion.

Both the Correspondence Course and the Quarterly Newsletter are stand alone projects and are completely self supporting. The present fee of $20.00 per course (four courses total) for the Correspondence Course, and the annual Newsletter (four quarterly issues) fee of $12.00 appears to be adequate for at least another year, as does the $15.00 each cost for the Newsletter annual hard bound edition. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 121

TOASTMASTER'S "SPEECHCRAFT DYNAMICS" COURSE Each year your committee liaison with Toastmasters. W. Bro. Howard Tosh has provided a list of Toastmaster Chapter locations in Ontario, along with contact names and addresses and telephone numbers. These lists are provided to each District Deputy Grand Master and for each District Chairman of Masonic Education. The course consists of eight approximately two-hour sessions. Costs are modest and depend upon meeting space (lodge room ?). There have been only very positive comments from those who have participated in the "Speechcraft Dynamics" programme. It is well recognized in the business world as a top notch training and self improvement vehicle and it is easily available where there are Toastmaster Chapters close by. Some districts participate each year - others arrange on an "as needed basis" - none have regretted the effort and all have had high praise for the results.

Your committee was pleased to be a part of the Grand Lodge Workshop programme and participated in the very enjoyable "Northern Exposure" trip to Sioux Lookout and Thunder Bay, and also the session in Hamilton.

This spring saw this committee launch another three-year schedule of D.D.G.M./District Secretary Travelling Workshops under the guidance of R.W. Bro. Murray Wagg, who organized the last very successful three-year series which ran until June, 1993. This new series started this March in Toronto and visited Brockville at the end of May. There are two more workshops being planned for this fall and this series will cover, by regions, all forty-six districts in the next two and one-half years. Our special thanks to R.W. Bros. Bert Bell and Len Witham who are the instructors for this series of workshops, and to M.W. Bro. D. Bradley and R.W. Bro. Ted Peters who offer experienced backup "bench strength" for these workshops when called upon.

This report will not attempt to catalogue the travels and participation of individual members of this committee in various lodge and district Masonic Education events throughout the Masonic year. I will only say to you Grand Master, that it has been my distinct pleasure to work on this committee of dedicated brethren who volunteer so much of their time and efforts to the benefit of the whole Craft.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the committee: M.W. Bro. D. C. Bradley; R.W. Bros. D. H. Mumby, E. Peters, P. Polkinghorne, J. W. Reid, B. K.

Schweitzer, R. South, E. C. Steen, J. M. Wagg; V.W. Bro. D. R. Fick; W. Bros. W. R. Carr, H. Tosh, Wm White.

R. A. BARNETT Chairman 122 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON AUDIT AND FINANCE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. S. H. Cohen, Chairman, and on

motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Cohen, 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:

The Committee on Audit and Finance of Grand Lodge has reviewed and considered the reports of the Grand Treasurer, the Auditor's Report and the report of the Grand Secretary as referred to in this Annual Communication. These reports fully and accurately record the information pertaining to:

(a) The financial position of this Grand Lodge as at April 30th, 1995, and the results of its operations for the year under review.

(b) Details of all Receipts and Expenditures with respect to the General Fund, the Segregated Funds and the Special Programme Fund; together with particulars of all transactions and changes in Capital Accounts of Grand Lodge which have occurred during the year ended April 30th, 1995.

(c) The Investment Accounts of the above-mentioned Funds and the summary of the financial position as at April 30th, 1995.

The following comments with respect to certain matters covered by these reports are presented for your consideration.

(1) The Annual Statement of the financial position of Grand Lodge reflects a total of the Fund Balances for the year ended April 30, 1995, of $4,028,215, compared to $3,826,936 the previous year, summarized as follows:

1995 1994 General Fund $1,895,784 $1,822,837 Segregated Funds 1,860,170 1,779,989 Special Programme Fund 272,261 224,110

Total $4,028,215 $3,826,936

The increase in these funds of $201,279 can be attributed primarily to the successful operation of Grand Lodge for the year under review.

(2) The Statement of Revenue and Expenses of the General Fund reflects net earnings of $72,947 which includes an amount of $26,454 as a contribution from the Special Programme Fund towards Grand Lodge expenses. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 123

(3) Grants for benevolent purposes for the year amounted to $82,390, compared to $82,510 the previous year. The report of the Chairman of Benevolence appears elsewhere in these proceedings and documents the policies and work of that committee. The Committee on Audit and Finance commends the excellent work done by the Committee on Benevolence and the good judgement used in their deliberations.

The Audit and Finance Committee received from the Management Committee the budgetary requirements of all Grand Lodge Committees for the coming year, which were carefully considered in preparing the Annual Budget for the year ended April 30, 1996, which amounted to $22,000.

The budget for the General Fund for the coming year is set out in the appendix to this report, which reflects anticipated receipts of $610,000 and expenditures of $604,000, resulting in a budgeted surplus of $6,000. Once again, a budget for the

Special Programme Fund has been prepared, which is set out in the appendix attached to this report, reflecting budgeted expenditures of $124,755 from this Fund. The operating budget and the special programme budget were prepared on a line by line examination based on the actual results of the previous year and having regard to the needs of Grand Lodge to facilitate desirable and meaningful programmes. We are pleased to report that a total of $189,411 has already been disbursed on special programmes since the inception of the fund three years ago.

As reported by the Grand Treasurer, the Committee on Audit and Finance meets with Cassels Blaikie on a quarterly basis to review our investment portfolio and we are pleased with the results shown to date. We recommend their continuing engagement to manage our investment portfolio.

In accordance with Section 134C of the Constitution, your committee submits for consideration and approval, as set out below, an estimate of the receipts and disbursements as they relate to the General Fund for the year ending April 30, 1996. Your committee believes the budget of the General Fund as 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 year.

As chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee, I particularly want to express my thanks and appreciation to the Grand Treasurer, to the Grand Secretary and the Grand Lodge staff for their work and assistance to this committee. I also wish to extend my appreciation to the members of this committee for their interest and involvement in the management of the financial affairs of this Grand Lodge.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the committee.

REPORT OF THE BLOOD DONORS' COMMITTEE

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

Summerville, 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 privilege and pleasure to present the report of the Blood Donors' Committee. Our team was comprised of R.W. Bros. Gary Atkinson (Vice-Chairman), Rae Hutt (Secretary), Paul Stephen, Ross Clark, Paul McNeil, Don Moore; V.W. Bros. Ted Burns, Don Wylie; W. Bros. Howard Tosh, Ken Crawley.

This year our emphasis was on communicating with our Regional Representatives, and they, in turn, with the District Chairmen. Regional Representatives were R.W. Bros. Keith Hyatt, Donald Mumby, Andrew McLelland, John Meyers, Douglas Townsend; V.W. Bros. Ted Boon, Wayne Nelson; W. Bros. John Hornell, George Napper; Bro. Tom Corrin.

Listed below are the number of donations of plasma, platelets and whole blood in our districts to the March 31, 1995, year end:

Blood Donor Award of Merit Certificates were presented to:

— The widow of R.W. Bro. W. J. C. Noble for his lengthy and dedicated service as chairman of the District Blood Donor Committee in the Sudbury-Manitoulin District, which was presented by our Grand Master, M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew.

— V.W. Bro. Ted Burns presented Laura Lacisak of the Hamilton Red Cross with a Certificate of Appreciation at a Past Masters' meeting, with seventy-five Masons in attendance.

— R.W. Bro. Paul McNeil presented a Certificate of Appreciation to Bro. Vernon Orr of the Peterborough District.

Once again, this year, our committee promoted a Blood Donor Clinic during Grand Lodge and the numbers are growing slightly each year.

We had a display at the plowing match this year in Pembroke, and a "thank you" to the Ottawa Districts for their support.

The Blood Donor buttons that were introduced last year have proven very successful and are worn proudly by many Masons in our jurisdiction.

With many brethren now donating platelets on a regular basis, we have found it necessary to increase the seals on the certificates to cover 250 and 300 donations.

Packages have been distributed to the District Deputies with guidelines for a District Blood Donor Chairman.

We were very fortunate to have the talents of V.W. Bro. Ted Burns on our committee, who looked after the artwork on our certificates.

We congratulate the brethren of the Windsor District for their strong support. Although the total donations were down from last year, R.W. Bro. Seal reported they TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 129 ranked fifth in the community as a blood donor group)—following behind Ford, Chrysler, General Motors and the University of Windsor.

Some districts have trophies or special awards that are presented to the lodge with the greatest percentage increase (good idea!).

In this year of controversy with regard to the tainted blood scandal, the position of the Red Cross is that they are not getting out of the blood collection business, and they need our support (in this time of needed donations) more than ever.

I wish to thank M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew for the opportunity of serving on this team of dedicated Masons, and R.W. Bro. Ken Whiting for making the upper board room available for our meetings.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee.

R. D. SUMMERVILLE Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CONDITION OF MASONRY

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. A. R. Burgess, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Burgess, 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:

Thank you for the privilege of working with and presenting the report on the Condition of Masonry on behalf of the following dedicated committee members: R.W. Bros. J. E. Anderson, R. G. Bingham, G. R. Brittain, G. H. Hazlitt, F. K Hyatt, A R. Hutt, C. M. Miller, D. H. Mumby, R. E. Oliver and D.Wilkinson.

Our mandate is: "To review the annual reports of the District Deputy Grand Masters and to make recommendations arising therefrom for the benefit of the Craft; and, To study the condition or state of Masonry in general throughout the jurisdiction and to make recommendations for the benefit of the Craft."

SO WHAT'S HAPPENING When we look across our 648 lodges we see some patterns of concern and erosion. Most districts report a diminishing membership. This means fewer hands to do the work and cover the costs. The average age is increasing with more Past Masters recycled in the chairs. Last year alone we lost 2,900 brethren from our roles. The sad thing is we lost over 2,500 of our membership due to suspensions and demits. 130 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

It is evident from these statistics that more and more lodges require better planning both in programme and finances. Whenever we have found a lodge in what we believe is financial difficulty we have notified the Lodge Finance Committee. Unfortunately it is a very awkward situation sometimes. The treasurer doesn't see a problem, the secretary considers an offer of help, interference; and the Master prays the hornets nest isn't disturbed at least not in his year.

There is no doubt that our blood donations are going to be considerably reduced this year. Why?

— Fewer members can find the time due to business pressures.

— Our age factor again is showing up. — Due to licensing problems and change in regulating bodies blood products now come under the jurisdiction of a) the Blood Services Agency; b) the Canadian Red Cross; and c) the Food and Drug Act. Because we do not have our own Canadian fractionalization plants we send the plasma to the United States to be processed and returned. Now we must be licensed to meet the U.S.A. criteria plus our own regulation standards. As a result many centres have eliminated or reduced their pheresis plasma programmes and donors.

Look at lodge buildings—they may be getting older but not necessarily better. If you start to renovate, new building codes are in effect and costs escalate. As a result many jobs are put off and maintenance costs get higher and higher. Temple boards should budget preventative maintenance cost for the future.

Enough doom and gloom. Let's look at the Condition of Masonry from the SUNNY SIDE of the street.

Never before in the history of our Grand Lodge have we had so many programmes for the benefit of the brethren. Most of our Grand Lodge programmes are now adequately funded due to the foresight and intestinal fortitude of M.W. Bro. Norman E. Byrne who established the means through the label and calendar programmes, and the brethren have shown their support with their generous donations. Look what we

are harvesting from the funds made available . . .

Grand Lodge now has a display booth and just recently a 20 x 40 tent was donated

by R.W. Bro. Ted Hensler for fall fairs, ploughing matches, etc.

Similarly, we are improving our Mentors Programme for the benefit of the brethren.

The Computer Resources Committee continues to assist lodges and districts bit by bit with programmes and the BBS system. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 131

Our benevolence programme continues to provide over $80,000 a year to those brethren in need, worthy of our Masonic charity. Nor does it stop there - many recipients are assisted by direction to proper provincial agencies, financial counselling groups etc by this dedicated committee.

Masonic Districts are providing a multitude of fantastic projects showing Masonic Care for the Community - for example:

Toronto District 3 is buying another van for a paraplegic brother.

Toronto District 6 is buying and training a seeing eye guide dog. Not only does this dog direct his blind owner but he helps the person get in and out of bed, fetches food etc.

Hamilton Districts A, B, C Walkathon for the Neo-Natal Clinic. Masonic Hockey Team vs NHL Oldtimers for charitable purposes.

London Districts William Mercer Wilson Centre Seniors Apartment.

Sarnia District Ball Game to assist St. Francis Advocates autistic children.

Waterloo District buying and training a seeing eye dog.

The Masonic Foundation spending over three hundred and seventy thousand dollars this past year for hearing research, Autism and Voice programmes, Youth and Drug prevention and for post secondary education bursaries.

All this, and more, makes one "PROUD TO BE A MASON !"

During the past year our committee has met six times, plus many subcommittee meetings and from its deliberations we propose the following recommendations for consideration.

1. A review of our election system and the difficulty on how to make it fair and equitable without detracting from our superior Grand Lodge Annual Com-

munication was considered. Should we continue 1 man — 1 vote, or should cost and distance to Grand Lodge play a more important role: e.g. 10 ballots for a distance over 600 km. Your committee has made a recommendation to the Deputy Grand Master for his consideration.

Recommend: That future nomination listings be of the present format with the deletion of the brother's age and the addition of: a) A recent photograph; b) Names of Grand Lodge Committees served on c/w number of years of service.

Recommend: That a candidate listed on the Grand Lodge Ballot, after the completion of the Annual Communication, may upon written request receive his election results from the Grand Secretary.

2. D.D.G.M. reports - a system of reducing the quantity while maintaining the report quality has been discussed, debated, reviewed and recycled. A proposed format for July, 1995, has been forwarded to the Management Committee and the Deputy Grand Master for approval and adoption.

Recommend: That the proposed D.D.G.M. report format be adopted. 132 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

3. Many lodges no longer have an organist or a musical instrument to assist with lodge ceremonies.

Recommend: That an audio tape be recorded (both vocal and instrumental) to assist lodge brethren in adding music to their ritual and other special functions.

4. Many lodge members are being suspended for nonpayment of dues or taking demits.

Recommend: That a visitation committee be formed in each lodge that will visit

all members within a 25 mile radius and where not feasible that a letter be sent by the Master requesting an update of the brother's circumstances (who, what, why, when and where) to be published.

5. Finances — many lodges do not have a sound dues structure, a finance committee, or a contingency fund for maintenance etc.

Recommend: That the D.D.G.M. provide assistance for the Lodge Treasurers in seeking financial advice from the Grand Lodge Committee on Lodge Finances.

6. Many lodges and districts continue to hide the light of their community charitable work under the Masonic bushel.

Recommend: That within the bounds of good taste that we actively seek good publicity to show Masonry in action.

7. Many lodges have picked up on the Mentor's Programme; however, some lodges continue to leave the candidate to fend for himself, especially after he has received the third degree.

Recommend: That the Mentor's Programme be encouraged — that brethren be given the information to read and then subsequent discussion take place at the earliest convenience.

8. We congratulate many lodges that are improving their lodge summons, adding lodge and district newsletters.

Recommend: That this practice continue (with readable print) and that lodges encourage talented brethren, who are not in the chairs, to assist in the formation of a newsletter team.

9. Recommend: That Lodges of Instruction be held in each district, promoting

ritual with emphasis and meaning ! ! !

MEMORIZED by heart and head - NOT READ !

10. Although protocol information is available in "The Manual" and "Meeting the

Challenge," in a few lodges and districts there is a tendency where informality and lack of decorum have become the norm.

Recommend: That Masonic Protocol both in lodge and at the banquet hour be reviewed and promoted.

11. Recommend: That lodges consider more educational programmes of short TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 133

duration. The subjects need not always be Masonic but could be of the Liberal Arts and Science in today's world.

12. Recommend: That Past Masters become mentors to lodge officers — not tormentors — early in the officers career. Helping him to plan for the Master's chair financially and mentally, with a programme plan for his consideration.

13. Recommend: That "all aspects of the Friend to Friend programme be utilized

not only for prospective applicants but for "active when it suits" and nonactive members as well. (See also No. 4)

14. Unfortunately Masonry is missing some good strong leaders due to timing, who have a great deal of talent and expertise.

Recommend: That those districts that elect their District Deputies on a rotational basis consider implementing a semi-rotational system: e.g. 14 lodges

in a district — seven years after the lodge has had a D.D.G.M. it would be eligible to actively seek an election of a qualified brother. Brotherly competition promotes more active participation and better programmes.

Finally, we are encouraged by the resurgence of young, interested and enthusiastic candidates in many of our lodges. We believe this will reverse the downward trend of membership and strengthen our beloved Craft.

We congratulate and commend the District Deputies, their District Secretaries and District Team for their dedication, devotion and fraternal leadership throughout our jurisdiction. You have been the eyes and ears of our Grand Master, promoting the precepts and programmes, rendering comfort and relief, and providing stability and direction to the brethren. For elevating and encouraging our Craft towards "TOTAL QUALITY MASONRY," WE SALUTE YOU!

In Ontario, there are many trees in the forest. Some trees are in a state of decay, some have mature growth and some are bursting with new life. So it is with Masonry. Let there be Light!

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee. R. J. McKIBBON Chairman

REPORT OF THE COMPUTER RESOURCES COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by V.W. Bro. N. G. McCarthy, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by V.W. Bro. McCarthy, 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:

It is my privilege to present the fourth annual report on the activities of the Computer Resources Committee. 134 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

From its inception, this committee has had two primary objectives:

• to provide assistance to those lodges wishing to computerize their records and administration.

. to promote the use of "PC FILE 5.01 - MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMME" which

is totally compatible with the Grand Lodge data base.

In support of the former, members have been active participants in a number of district and regional workshops. In addition, presentations and computer demon- strations have been made at three seminars held in conjunction with our Grand Lodge Annual Communications.

We have used these opportunities to show participants the ease of using the

Membership Programme which is a computer data base. At the recommendation of users, there have been a number of modifications including:

• an update 'field' to reflect the date of a record update,

• expanded telephone number 'field' to accommodate extra digits for modem dialling,

• added 'fields' for DUES_PAID, ARREARS, and LEDGER_NO to allow for dues record keeping,

• extended the postal code 'field' for foreign postal codes.

Further amendments to this programme provide a REPORT FORMAT to allow for a comprehensive report printout regarding members dues. The installation procedure has been revised to make it easier. The most recent edition is 3.12.

The committee is pleased to report that there are now over two hundred copies of the membership programme in the hands of various lodge members.

Our computerized Masonic Bulletin Board System (BBS) continues to be available using the telephone number (416) 438-9303. As this number is now only accessible in the Toronto area as a local call we have requested that Grand Lodge support our funding request for expanded service through London Telecom.

Accessors to the BBS will be expected to complete a questionnaire on screen, to safeguard the system from unauthorized persons. When this is completed and the responses evaluated, the users will be allowed into the Bulletin Board, usually within twenty-four hours. Our appreciation is extended to Bro. Bill Vance who has volunteered countless hours as the system operator.

There are many Masonic related subject files including graphics, database information, itineraries of the Grand Master and Grand First Principal, lists of Grand Lodge Officers, a section on the Philalathes publications, a CD ROM library, as well as the ability to leave messages (E-Mail) for others to access, along with many other functions. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 135

Last year at this time we reported there were fifty-one individuals who had used the system. This year we would like to acknowledge over one thousand Masons who have signed on to the bulletin board.

The latest endeavour of this committee is the production of a video that will explain and encourage the use of computers and the database programme.

Most Worshipful Sir, with your support and permission, I would like to congratulate the members of this committee for their diligence and dedication — R. W. Bro. Dave Wood, Vice Chairman, who has made the facilities of CKCO-TV (Kitchener) available to create our video, R.W. Bro. Brian Bond, Secretary and responsible for the creation and maintenance of our membership programme, and to V.W. Bro. Peter Scott and W. Bro. 'Skip' Grant who have been supportive with wise consul and research.

I would also like to make a special mention of the district representatives and offer our thanks for your continued assistance.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the committee.

NORMAN G. MCCARTHY Chairman

REPORT OF THE LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE

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

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 privileged to present the report of the Long Range Planning Committee on

behalf of its members: R.W. Bros. Mike Fulmer (Secy), Andrew Burgess, Dr. Wm. Burgman, Ian Clunie, James Hughes, Rev. Douglas Mitchell, Donald Moore, David Patterson, Klaas Schoenmaker, Ronald Watson and the undersigned as chairman.

The following items, related to the future of the Craft, are presented for consideration by Grand Lodge.

Support to Lodges and Districts: Information was sent to all D.D.G.M.s early in their term of office. Members accepted invitations to make presentations in a number of districts, including Algoma and Western, at a Long Range Planning meeting in Atikokan. Every effort must be made to place planning material into the hands of every Warden and Master. This committee recommends that a Planning Guide, such 136 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION as "Towards the Square" by M.W. Bro. Bradley, be issued to assist in planning and conducting stimulating lodge programmes. The "Masonic Leader's Planning Guide" prepared by the Masonic Renewal Committee of North America is another excellent example to be considered.

Lodge and District Management: The decline in membership and related financial concerns are forcing a re -evaluation of the nature and practice of the Craft to an extent never before experienced this century. Throughout North America these conditions, coupled with changing social attitudes, are prompting jurisdictions to take actions which seem, in some cases, to fundamentally change the nature of the Order. Planning for the future must ensure that changes to the requirements and practices of the Order do not jeopardize the landmarks of Freemasonry. The exchange of the

Mason's grip will continue to be of value so long as it ensures that both parties have confidence that each has served a realistic Masonic apprenticeship, has demonstrated proficiency in the work through an active participation in the degrees and has been taught the tenets and principles of the Order.

Programmes to stabilize and rebuild Masonic membership are frequently motivated by financial requirements to maintain lodge buildings or to support obligations of related Masonic organizations. It is noted that many lodge halls are now unsuitable for the needs of the present or projected membership.

Members of this committee recently attended lodges in Europe where lodges had as few as twenty-five members. We experienced the familiar and unique feeling of Masonic Brotherhood. We noted that the commitment and standards demanded of our

European brothers often exceeded that which is required in our own jurisdiction.

This committee recommends that Grand Lodge develop programmes and policies to assist Craft lodges to survive and function with the reduced membership being forecast. We suggest that a review of the European style of Freemasonry may point out ways to practice Freemasonry in this new environment of smaller lodges.

Widening Our Horizons: A recent survey sponsored by the Imperial Council of the Shrine, "Men's Leisure Time," states that a significant percentage of men are interested in participating in organizations which allow them to become better educated, strive for self improvement, take part in charitable activities and experience fellowship with other like minded men. Our Order provides these opportunities. Once a man is initiated, it is vital that he be given every opportunity to participate fully in such activities.

In the absence of regular degree work Masters experience difficulty presenting stimulating programmes. Of greater concern - the lack of regular degree work hinders the teaching of the Masonic philosophy and reduces the opportunity for members to actively participate in regular lodge work.

To increase the involvement of members and to provide the opportunity for self improvement, the committee recommends that Grand Lodge prepare a package of short discussion papers on various Masonic and philosophical topics. These seminars TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 137 could be an extension of the Mentor's Programme or selected topics from the College of Freemasonry, designed to supplement the ritual, initiate discussion and encourage participation at regular lodge meetings. It is suggested that detailed outlines of such a programme be supplied to each lodge with the request, similar to the directions regarding Friend to Friend, that one or two papers be presented each year to help members make a "daily advancement in Freemasonry."

Public Relations: From time to time our Order is subject to misrepresentation. In today's open society our traditional policy of remaining silent does not always serve us well. In the ongoing effort to protect the image of Freemasonry it is suggested that Grand Lodge distribute a brief position statement to ALL members to guide them in knowing when and how to make reasonable and factual responses.

Selection and Election of Grand Lodge Officers: This committee recommends a review of the present process of selecting and electing Grand Lodge officers. It is suggested:

a. That ways be developed to extend voting privileges to all qualified members throughout the jurisdiction and not just to those who are able to attend in Toronto.

b. That the list of candidates, including background information, be published in

the spring issue of the "Ontario Mason" to enable all members to make knowledgeable choices.

c. That D.D.G.M.s be elected in Toronto, one year in advance, and that they be required to participate in training seminars and submit a detailed outline of their trestleboard to their district and to the Grand Master before their confirmation by the Grand Master the following July.

Conclusion: History serves as a guide for the future. In bygone years our brethren, often few in number, met in small unpretentious facilities. The principles of Freemasonry and the unique bonds of brotherhood made Freemasonry special and attracted new members. As we struggle to adjust to present conditions, it is suggested that it is not numbers, nor impressive buildings which will ensure the future of the

Order. It is the character of our members and the high principles promoted within our lodges that make a man proud to be a Freemason.

As we plan for the future may we remember the words of Bro. The Honourable John R. Matheson in his address to Grand Lodge in 1987 when he challenged us with the following thought - "Does this Masonic generation, our Masonic Generation, have anything really worthwhile to declare? Or, is it content to live off the nourishment of the past? ... If we worship the words, the mere ritual, the meaning escapes us and we relegate Freemasonry to the cultural archives or museum. Only by constantly rewriting these ancient truths into relevant contemporary form do we keep them dynamic."

Respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the committee.

D. R. THORNTON Chairman 138 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS

This Report was presented by M.W. Bro. N. E. Byrne, seconded by M.W. Bro. E. W. Nancekivell, and adopted.

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

My brethren:

It is with pleasure and honour that I present to you the report of the Committee on the Grand Master's Address, that committee being composed of all Past Grand Masters.

The Grand Master opens his address by extending a warm welcome to all members to this 140th Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge and extends special thanks to our invited guests for their presence among us. He records his hope that they will enjoy their visit to our Grand Lodge in a similar fashion that he and his wife, Ellen- Orr, have enjoyed their visits to the Grand Lodges of many of our distinguished guests.

The Grand Master, in a most fitting manner, records the deaths of many Masons of this jurisdiction who have been called to higher duties and particularly mentions a well-loved brother, R.W. Bro. Edward J. Langley, P.D.D.G.M., at one time a member of the Board of General Purposes of Grand Lodge. Bro. Langley was a very popular and well-loved brother, particularly in the Toronto area and was known as one of "the founding fathers" of the Eat & Argue Club, an organization which gives much happi- ness on a regular weekly basis to many Toronto brethren at lunchtime in a special setting of fun and fellowship. He also notes the passing of R.W. Bro. Douglas H. Bliss, P.G.S.W. (Hon.) who served our Grand Lodge office for many years as Chief Clerk.

Your committee concurs on our Grand Master's recommendation that the rank of Past Grand Senior Warden be awarded to Bros. Mellor and Wilson, two stalwarts who have served Grand Lodge for many years and have gone "the second mile."

The Past Grand Masters of this Grand Jurisdiction accept with thanks the words of appreciation to the P.G.M.s who have had the pleasure of working with this very dedicated Grand Master and this committee seconds the thanks and congratulations extended to the Custodian of the Work, M.W. Bro. N. R. Richards as he winds down his term in that office.

The Grand Master takes the opportunity to recognize his lodge and special members of his immediate family in the persons of his dad, Bro. Charles Drew and his

wife, Ellen-Orr, both of whom we are sure are as proud of him as he is thankful to them. His thanks are also extended to the hard-working members of the Board of General Purposes of Grand Lodge and particularly those who are members of the Management Committee. Your committee concurs with the Grand Master as he 140 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION thanks those members of the Board who have chosen to retire from the Board of General Purposes this year, all to seek labour in other areas of their lives.

Your committee approves of his appointment of V.W. Bro. James Currie as a Grand Steward and in the recommendation for the reappointment of those honourary members of the Board of General Purposes named in his address.

It is with pleasure we note his recognition of a great humanitarian service provided by The Masonic Foundation of Ontario and the establishment of its office in the Grand Lodge Memorial Building.

Your committee hastens to add its own congratulations to the following recipients this year of the William Mercer Wilson Award, the "Victoria Cross" of this jurisdiction. May the following brethren, holders of that prestigious award, be spared for many years to allow them to continue to make their unique contributions to Masonry in our jurisdiction:

Bro. Alec R. Rae, Antiquity Lodge No. 571, Toronto Bro. Ralph S. Henderson, Maitland Lodge No. 33, Goderich Bro. Lyndon Jones, Ancient St. John's No. 3, Kingston Bro. Donald N. Irvine, St. John's Lodge No. 104, Norwich Bro. Russell O. Dillabough, Atomic Lodge No. 686, Deep River

We agree with the Grand Master's recognition and expressed thanks to those of our jurisdiction who received long service pins, the Grand Lodge Officers who served our Grand Lodge so well with zeal and devotion and we concur in his special thanks tendered to the Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. Durward Greenwood with whom, once more, as Grand Master, he has continued to have a very close and continuing personal relationship, which will make the transition from one leader to another so much smoother.

Your committee concurs with the Grand Master's acceptance of the Grand Rep- resentatives of other Grand Jurisdictions near our Grand Lodge and his recommen- dations of several of our distinguished brethren to serve this Grand Jurisdiction as Grand Representatives near other Grand Lodges and agree completely with those commendations for outstanding service awarded by the Grand Master to fourteen of our brethren who have toiled tirelessly in the quarries of Masonry without hope of reward.

Your Grand Master comments with respect to his attendance at several Masonic conferences, showing how diligent he has been in carrying out his onerous duties as our Masonic chief. We salute the Deputy Grand Master on his election as President of the 1996 Conference of Canadian Grand and District Grand Lodges and know that he will bring honour to this Grand Lodge.

We, too, congratulate our hard-working Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies on his unique accomplishment, having been elected as President of the Con- TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 141 ference of Grand Secretaries of North America. We also wish him well as he sets about this challenging position.

We note with interest the Grand Master's recommendation that some special mark of recognition be given for Lodge Secretaries who have served as such for a period of at least seven years.

Your committee is, indeed, pleased to note the thanks extended to the Grand Chapter R.A.M. on the courtesies extended by that body to our Deputy Grand Master who represented our Grand Master at their Annual Communication and the Grand Master's favourable comments with respect to the close association between Grand Lodge and the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite and of their use for membership development of the special video, "Friend to Friend."

We also concur with the Grand Master's remarks with respect to the Shrine of Ontario, and the efforts of the Imperial Potentate, Burton E. Ravellette to fortify the preservation of the continuing relationship between the Shrine, the York Rite and the Scottish Rite as evidenced by our Grand Master's endorsation of the Ontario Masonic Strategy Committee's efforts to address universal concern regarding membership.

Your committee notes and agrees with the Grand Master's thanks extended to the Masonic Foundation of Ontario for their assistance and co-operation as a duly incor- porated Masonic body to act as a trustee for all Masonic bodies in Canada with respect to the preservation and protection of the symbol of the square and compasses under Canadian Law. We share in his thanks extended to those Grand Lodges who contri- buted financially to this effort.

As the chief head and ruler of the Craft, our Grand Master conducted two cere- monies of building dedications in Ontario during the last year. It is, indeed, encour- aging that even in these difficult times and when general membership would seem to be declining, there are those Masons whose trust in the future of Freemasonry has lead them to acquire and build new premises for the use of Masons yet to come. We con- gratulate our Grand Master as he lead the dedication ceremonies and those brethren who had the courage and foresight to provide the buildings to be so dedicated.

An indication of the age of this Grand Lodge is seen by the acknowledgement by the Grand Master of two lodges in this jurisdiction who celebrated 200 years of continuous service to the Craft and five lodges who will "take the gold" of 100 years of Freemasonry in the coming years. Congratulations to those lodges on their collective tenacity.

Evidence of changing times and lifestyles for some Masons can be seen in the Grand Master's reference to Daylight Lodges now holding forth in Ontario. We add our congratulations to the brethren of the London area in building a special nonprofit residence with a Masonic flare, and in providing an opportunity to lay a cornerstone with due Masonic ceremony. 142 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

It is apparent from the reading of the Grand Master's Address that Masonry in Ontario is alive and well, as evidenced by the several special programmes designed to raise funds to provide funding for special Masonic programmes, not the least of which is the "Friend to Friend" video and membership development programme, the publication and direct distribution to every Mason in Ontario of the new Ontario Mason magazine, the regional workshops, the information booth, the long-awaited establishment in new quarters of the Grand Lodge library and the Grand Lodge museum, and your committee congratulates our Grand Master on his leadership given unstintedly to these and other Masonic programmes in Ontario.

Our Grand Master recognizes and extends the thanks of this Grand Lodge to those who made special donations to Grand Lodge in the form of an electronic organ and a large exhibit tent — a noble lesson in generosity. We also thank these caring individuals.

The members of your committee have all enjoyed the 1995 Masonic calendar and extend our thanks, along with the Grand Master's, to those who lead in the production of this fine Masonic endeavour.

The Grand Master has recognized the extensive work done by many Masons and by Masonic lodges in the communities of our great province, thereby demonstrating to the world at large that Masons care.

We are told that there are two aspects of Freemasonry, namely moral instruction and social intercourse. Your committee is encouraged by the Grand Master's recog- nition of the many lodges who have done much to improve the social side of our beloved Craft in the banquet room, by special programmes and innovative efforts.

Our Grand Master, true to his obligation, emphasizes the continuing good use of the "Friend to Friend" programme and encourages its continued use as a vehicle to encourage our non-Masonic friends and neighbours to seek "the light of Masonry." This programme, in the opinion of this committee, is well worthwhile and we also recom- mend it to every lodge and to every Mason in Ontario as a noble means of spreading "the good word" of Masonry.

Your Grand Master directs the adherence to the INSTALLATION CEREMONY and while the minor changes may, to some, create a problem, we agree with the Grand Master that its use must be encouraged and adhered to.

Your Grand Master has given evidence of his great patriotism in his reference to the Canadian flag and we commend him for it.

The Grand Master directs the use of the standard application form for membership by all lodges and your committee agrees wholeheartedly.

With the increase in the social side of Masonry, your committee completely concurs with the direction issued by the Grand Master with respect to the use of alcoholic TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 143 beverages at Masonic functions. Strict attention and adherence to the several stipu- lations are mandatory and make good common sense.

Your committee notes, with interest, the references in the Grand Master's Address to education, the Maple Leaf Masonic pin, the library (in its new quarters), the new Masonic museum, the work of the Grand Lodge Holding Company, lodge and district newsletters, the Ontario Mason, Masonic publications (some in larger type), the Mentor's programme, regional workshops, and recognition and support of youth groups, and this committee compliments him on bringing these matters to the attention of the Craft as part of his Address and we commend him accordingly.

In conclusion, your committee accepts all recommendations, awards and appoint- ments made by the Grand Master in the course of his duties this past year. Your committee goes on record as stating without reservation that our Grand Master, M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew, has lead our Craft during his two-year term as Grand Master with commitment, devotion, energy and wisdom and has made a mark in this Grand Jurisdiction that will stand forth for many years as evidence of his ideals, his love for

Masonry and of his fellow man. Our Grand Master has been a beacon light for all to see, an example of QUALITY MASONRY, a living example of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.

As M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew ends his term as Grand Master your committee extends to him on behalf of all Masons in Ontario a sincere expression of thanks and gratitude and of honour for an excellent job skilfully done. He is, indeed, a Master Builder.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

REPORT OF THE AWARDS COMMITTEE (WILLIAM MERCER WILSON MEDAL)

This Report was presented by M.W. Bro. H. O. Polk, Chairman.

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:

Recipients of the five William Mercer Wilson awards named in the Grand Master's Address for the year 1994—1995 now in review are to be congratulated, praised and commended for having lived up to the principles that eminently qualified them for such an honour.

Details of submissions in support of the petitions impart a wide variety of service to Freemasonry as well as community activities, revealing men with gifts of insight, articulation and caring in support of worthy causes. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 145

The William Mercer Wilson Medal is recognition of merit, not an award for the elite, limited as it is by regulation granted to members who have not, nor likely to serve as Worshipful Master. It neither provides special privileges nor monetary reward, but rather recognition for outstanding contributions beyond the call of duty at the lodge, district(s), Grand Lodge and community level, embracing a wide spectrum of accom- plishment.

Leadership as men of such stature personify what our fraternity proffers and pro- claims, namely to perpetuate what members advocate — compassion for the afflicted, the confined and those in need of relief from the melancholy of loneliness.

As each submission is documented on the qualifications of the proposed nominee, lodge officers are reminded there is no special form available from Grand Lodge on which to apply.

For the continued valued assistance of the Grand Secretary and his staff in response to every call, the committee expresses appreciation and thanks.

Fraternally submitted.

The Grand Master extended his sincere thanks to R.W. Bro. J. I. Carrick, Chairman of the Committee of Scrutineers, and R.W. Bro. K. Schweitzer, Chairman of the Committee on Credentials, and their committee personnel for their devotion to their work.

REPORT OF THE COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE

The following report was approved by the Board of General Purposes for presentation to Grand Lodge; however, due to the unavoidable absence due to illness of the chairman, R.W. Bro. C. J. Woodburn, it was not presented to Grand Lodge.

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:

Our committee is very pleased to report on our activities and actions during this past year.

Community Entrance Signs and Lodge Building Signs After considerable research and investigation by V.W. Bro. Jeff Brown and R.W. Bro. Alan Cochrane, a full review report was presented to the Management Committee at their March meeting. In summary, it was found that improvements in size and material should be made to the community entrance signs. It was also determined that electrically illuminated building signs, on a custom order basis, had become quite expensive. Your committee was requested to develop full specifications for field use. This was submitted to our Grand Lodge office this May. The intent, we understand, is to provide these standards to districts, lodges and temple corporations for their local purchase use. TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1995 147

Note Cards A full programme has been developed by our committee for this project. The intent of this is to provide "Masonic theme" note card packs for lodge sale at a profit to the lodges. Masonic artists were identified, contacted and subject arrangements made this spring.

It is proposed to display these subjects and this whole project in July during our Annual Proceedings. We express a special thanks to R.W. Bro. Bert Barker for his work in this project development.

Reviews written by R.W. Bro. Frederic R. Branscombe

ALBERTA Calgary, Alberta, June, 1994

"Masonic Renewal is not just a membership recruiting promotion. If that is all that

it is, it will be short-lived," said M.W. Bro. Myron Lusk in his Address to Grand Lodge, "for we will not retain the new members we attract, nor the membership we already

have. The ultimate purpose is to improve our leadership capabilities and make the Lodge Room a happy place of learning." The chairman of the Masonic Research and Education Committee reflected that philosophy in his report to Grand Lodge when he said that his committee "continued as the nucleus of the Alberta Masonic Renewal

Committee and Masonic Renewal in this jurisdiction remained the focus of all our activities. In fact, Masonic Education is truly a form of Masonic Renewal."

Upon the recommendation of the Masonic Research and Education Committee, Grand Lodge approved the change of the committee's name to the Masonic Education

Committee. "It has not been the function of this Committee," the chairman stated, "to engage in Masonic research, per se. The Grand Lodge of Alberta created Fiat Lux Lodge No. 1980 to perform that function. Any research carried out by this committee has been solely to support the furtherance of Masonic Education in this jurisdiction and to gather data and materials to develop education programs."

Another matter related to Masonic Research was the decision to permit the release of copies of the GRAND LODGE BULLETIN to the general public, through the "heritage" lodges in Calgary and Edmonton. The intention of that decision was to stimulate interest in the general public. However, as the Bulletin Committee noted, "it has resulted in a little more caution in printing material of internal interest and the

Question of the Month has been discontinued. It is fortunate that many Lodges have taken up this idea and have their own excellent Question of the Month." The Bulletin

Committee reported, also, that "The policy is being maintained of publishing only excerpts of papers. This seems more acceptable as it is thought to maintain the maximum interest of the largest number of readers."

An interesting feature of the Deputy Grand Master's report on the Condition of Masonry was an individual section devoted to each of the seventeen districts. Each section contained a brief account (of about 100 to 150 words) of highlights of the year, as well as an assessment of the general condition of Masonry in that district. The name of the current District Deputy Grand Master was given, together with the name of his lodge, as well as the same information concerning his successor. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 231

ARIZONA Tucson, Arizona, May, 1994

The Grand Master spoke of the need for Masons to have tolerance for one another, even when they hold differing views on matters of policy in the Craft. M.W. Bro. Robert F. Hannon emphasized that failure to maintain the highest standards of Brotherly Love and mutual respect in communications between the brethren would do irreparable harm to Masonry. He cautioned his hearers not to follow the example of the religious fundamentalists who say, "If you do not believe what I believe, if you do not say the words that I want you to say then you are wrong and I will try to discredit you and try to get people elected who think and talk like I do."

M.W. Bro. Hannon urged his brethren to develop a long range programme for

Masonry in Arizona. He referred to it as "one of the most important things that we can do for the future of our craft." In his judgement, more aggressive recruiting is an absolute necessity for success in a long range plan for the Craft. "Masonry must be liberated," he insisted, "from the old concept that one had to wait for a prospective applicant to speak first about membership. We CAN and must ask a good friend, neighbor, business associate, our sons or our grandsons to become a member of our

Craft. We must use this important tool if we are ever to keep our lodges strong and active." He asked members of Grand Lodge to "look at the average age of your lodge and project what it will take to maintain the membership and the financial strength that you have now." ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Arkansas, February, 1994

M.W. Bro. William H. Stovall Jr, Grand Master, referred to the programme for the Grand Lodge Charity, which he had inaugurated at the beginning of his term of office.

Each lodge was asked to increase its effort to raise money for charity, with the proceeds being divided equally between (i) any charity chosen by the lodge, (ii) the

Grand Lodge Benevolence Fund and (iii) the Lodge Benevolence Fund. M.W. Bro. Stovall stressed the advantages of the lodges combining their support of the Grand Lodge Charity Fund with that of their own local projects.

Also on a monetary note, the Grand Master expressed concern for the future financial position of Grand Lodge and subordinate lodges alike. He suggested that consideration be given to a plan whereby over a five-year period Grand Lodge would

"cause it to be mandatory that each member of this Grand Jurisdiction become a perpetual member." To ease the financial burden he proposed that current members should be able to make the payment over a five-year period and that "each newly elected petitioner be charged the cost of a perpetual membership as he advanced to each degree."

The principle of plain speaking was applied in an unusual way to the conduct of the business of Grand Lodge. When a complicated motion, which was heavily laden with legalistic terminology, was proposed it was accompanied by a supplement bearing the 232 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA heading, "PLAIN LANGUAGE EXPLANATION OF THIS RESOLUTION." For example, a motion to add a subsection to the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Arkansas contained 88 words in just over seven lines, whereas the corresponding "Plain Lang- uage" version had 32 words in slightly more than two lines.

The Grand Lodge Library Report related an all too common story of the near destruction of a library by years of well intentioned neglect. In this case, however, the story had a happy ending because of an innovative action plan. The report told of a cramped library where it was next to impossible to locate any specific book: "The sad truth is that our library had deteriorated to a point that it was nearly unusable." The Arkansas York Rite College No. 142 came to the rescue. The books were reclassified and catalogued on a computer which the College had donated to the Grand Lodge. Of equal importance, the College provided software for the computer "so that if you wish to research a certain Masonic topic, the computer can give you a list of all the books in the library which might contain the subject you wish to read about or if you wish a book by a certain author, it will be able to locate the book in the library in just seconds." Thus, a hardly usable collection of books is being converted into a library and a valuable resource. BRITISH COLUMBIA Penticton, British Columbia, June, 1994

The Grand Master remarked that he was pleased to see the formation during the year of many new Job's Daughters Bethels and DeMolay Chapters. He attributed this development to the 1993 amendment to the Constitution, which permitted a constit- uent lodge to sponsor these organizations. "I would encourage you," M.W. Bro. C. Grant Wardlaw said, "to attend a meeting of one of these youth groups in your regalia.

You may feel as I do after attending one of their meetings that maybe this old world is not as bad off as we are sometimes led to believe. We see and hear about gangs of youths causing problems, but we don't hear about the others and being a small part of what I have called this year our 'Masonic Family.' Keep up the good work my brethren. These young people could be the future leaders of our country. We must support them!"

An example of the recognition of young people which the Grand Master recom- mended was the presence at a District Annual Church Parade of four members of a newly formed Chapter of the Order of DeMolay. The Master Councillor of the Chap- ter was the son of the secretary of the lodge which had sponsored the formation of that DeMolay Chapter.

The results of another 1993 amendment to the Constitution were noted by the Grand Master. During the year he had given permission upon request to districts and lodges to participate in regalia in parades and ceremonies in their respective communities. He maintained that, "Community involvement, my Brethren, can only enhance the Image of your Freemasonry."

The Grand Historian noted in his report that "Theme Nights continue to be the FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 233 main method of drawing out members with specific work experiences or other interests." He listed some themes which are traditional in certain lodges: Telephone Night, Waterfront Night, Railway Night, Garibaldi Night, Loggers' Night, Oyster Night, Empire Night, Construction Night, Fish Night, as well as many Burns' Nights. In addition, he reported some innovations, such as Family Night, Prince Rupert Night, Surveyors' Night and a "Blighty" Night. CALIFORNIA

San Francisco, California, October, 1993

M.W. Bro. R. Stephen Doan devoted a portion of his Grand Master's Message to an excellent and most timely statement differentiating between Masonry and religion. "Masonry," he said, "is not a religion. Religion deals with salvation, the preparation of our spirit for its return to the God who gave it. Masonry, on the other hand, is about ethics: right and wrong conduct in the here and now. How we should deal with our fellow creatures. Confusion sometimes arises because religion talks about ethics too but its focus is different. Salvation, not ethics, distinguishes religion. Masonry deals exclusively with ethics." He stressed that Masonry does not promise its members that they will go to heaven if they are good Masons: it does not claim to be the means for salvation.

The Grand Master was requested to consider whether the "American Doctrine" (namely that there can be ONLY ONE Grand Lodge recognized in any given country, state or province) can be reconciled with the recognition of a Prince Hall Grand Lodge (Le., a SECOND recognized Grand Lodge) in the same political area where a duly recognized Grand Lodge already exists. M.W. Bro. Doan interpreted the "American Doctrine" to mean that "when a Grand Lodge exercises exclusive territorial jurisdiction it has the right, within its jurisdiction, to decide whether or not it wants to retain exclusive jurisdiction or share it with another Grand Lodge. This is referred to as creating a concurrent jurisdiction." He proposed changes to the California Masonic Code to "authorize the Grand Lodge of California to recognize, or to continue to recognize, those Grand Lodges which permit concurrent jurisdiction."

With reference to the recognition of Prince Hall Masonry, the committee which had been established at a previous Communication of Grand Lodge to consider that question recommended that the Grand Master and other senior officers continue to hold meetings during the 1993-94 Masonic year with the corresponding representatives of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge F. & AM. of California. Accordingly, the mandate of the Special Committee on Prince Hall Recognition Study was extended for another year.

Following the permission granted a year previously by Grand Lodge for the Work to be done in Spanish, the Grand Lecturer reported that he had witnessed the ritual performed in the Spanish language. "While I do not understand that language," he stated, "I could follow to some degree the words, the format and rhythm of the work.

I was delightfully impressed." He extended his "heartiest congratulations" to the members of Maya Lodge, No. 793, for their efforts to bring their dream to fruition. 234 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

CHINA Taipei, Republic of China, October, 1993

M.W. Bro. C. L. Young indicated in his Annual Report as Grand Master that he had formed an Education Committee of Grand Lodge and also that he had revived the former Publicity Committee. He stated that these committees were engaged in pre- paring publications intended to let people know what Freemasonry is. He recom- mended that the work of these committees "should be continued and expanded. The lodges should collaborate to let more people be interested in our fraternity."

"The state of the craft," M.W. Bro. Young reported, "is rather stable. While the quantity will have to be strengthened, the quality continues to improve. It is good to see that more brothers are genuinely concerned with the future development of our fraternity."

The Grand Secretary recognized the assistance which he had received from the Commission on Information for Recognition of the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America. Grand Lodge approved his recommendation to continue making a contribution to that body as an expression of appreciation for the assistance received.

The Committee on Charity reported that it had received no requests during the current year for financial assistance to members. Instead, a contribution of NT$5,000. was donated to the Childhood Cancer Foundation of the Republic of China. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Washington, District of Columbia, May, November, December, 1993

At the Annual Communication in December, 1993, the Grand Master reminded his brethren of their tremendous responsibility, as well as their unique opportunity, to serve themselves and the fraternity by virtue of their position in the Capital of the United States. M.W. Bro. George R. Adams stated that because unity in adversity has always been the strength of Masonry, it was his conviction that "We are not changing the nature of our fraternity by adding foreign-language lodges, we are merely res- ponding to the need to enter the 21st Century where global interaction and communi- cation will be an accepted fact." The goal of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, he stated, "is not to become an international Grand Lodge, but to become an American Grand Lodge which interfaces with the international Masonic community. The cultural diversity that has been added to our Grand Lodge will only serve to strengthen our fraternity and provide a means through which we can take our place as a strong American Grand Lodge in the global Masonic community."

This international aspect of Masonry in the District of Columbia was reflected in the description by the Grand Historian of an International Evening. "In recognition of the emergence of this Grand Lodge as an international Grand Lodge," he wrote in his Annual Report, "the several foreign language speaking Lodges in this Jurisdiction gathered together on May 22, 1993, at Almas Temple to celebrate an evening of inter- FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 235 national fellowship. Officers and members of German-speaking Arminius Lodge No. 25, Persian-speaking Mehr Lodge No. 90, Spanish-speaking Alianza Fraternal Ameri- cana Lodge No. 92, French-speaking La France Lodge No. 93 and Scottish Sojourner Kilwinning Lodge No. 1798 were in attendance. Following the remarks of the Grand Master, the gathering retired to the main ballroom to enjoy a Table Lodge banquet."

An important innovation was the inauguration in 1993 of a GRAND LODGE HOT

LINE. The purpose of this telephone service is to provide specific information about activities of Grand Lodge and of the subordinate lodges both to local residents and to visitors to the City of Washington. ENGLAND London, England, April, June, September, December, 1994, March, 1995

In his Investiture Address in April, 1994, the Grand Master, M.W. Bro. H.R.H. the Duke of Kent, commented on "public misconceptions regarding Freemasonry and the pressure exerted to force Freemasons to register their membership. Unfortunately the fallacy still seems to be widespread that the Craft is a secret society pledged to further the members' interests. Some people will not accept or do not care that Freemasons are ordinary, law-abiding citizens, with a useful attitude towards life and unusually careful about not using their membership to advance interests of any kind." The Grand

Master added: "One way to promote greater understanding is to persevere in our efforts at every level to demonstrate how much about Freemasonry can be shared with people who are not Masons, particularly our families. 'Open Days,' when Lodge (or Provincial or District) buildings are shown, may be terrifying in prospect, but in practice turn out to be rewarding to visitors and hosts alike: the visitors are able to satisfy genuine interest, and the hosts have a chance to show their pride in our institution."

In December, 1994, the Board of General Purposes reviewed the events related to the origins of Prince Hall Masonry. After observing that by 20th century standards the formation of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts was irregular, the Board stated that "By standards then prevailing, the formation of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts could have been seen as merely eccentric, and of acceptable regularity," adding that "the philosophy and practice of Prince Hall Masonry today are of exemplary regularity." As its origin could be regarded as having been regular, Grand Lodge recognized the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. The Board observed that "Prince Hall Grand Lodges operate in most States and Provinces in North

America" and expressed the hope that all are regularly descended from the Prince Hall Grand Ledge of Massachusetts. "Applications for recognition will have to be decided one by one on their own merits, with - of course - the agreement of the Grand Lodge already recognised as having jurisdiction in that particular territory."

The March, 1995, Quarterly Communication was given an update on the status of visitation in overseas lodges where Prince Hall Masons might be present. It was re- ported that "The Grand Lodges of Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Minnesota, Neb- raska, North Dakota, Washington (State), Wisconsin, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec are allowing at least reciprocal intervisiting with unrecognised Prince Hall 236 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

Grand Lodges and our brethren should not attend Masonic meetings in those juris- dictions." It was stressed, however, that "Brethren from recognised jurisdictions in N. America (including those named above) remain welcome in our Lodges." IDAHO Pocatello, Idaho, September, 1994

In considering the future of Masonry in Idaho, the Grand Master stressed the im- portance of working with and for young people. "Perhaps one of the great opportun- ities we have open to us now," said M.W. Bro. James A. Davidson, "is to carry forward

Masonry's mission through the youth. They represent tomorrow. It is through them that we must safeguard our future." In keeping with these sentiments, he recommend- ed that "Lodges in this Jurisdiction, at least once a year, host a Chapter of DeMolay and have them present some part of their Ritual. It is imperative that we further their interest and education."

The Committee on Fraternal Relations dealt at length in its report with the request of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Connecticut Inc. for "reciprocal Recognition and Visitation Rights with the Masonic Grand Lodge of Idaho." The committee reviewed the development of such mutual recognition by Grand Lodges in the United States and Canada. It pointed out that both the Grand Lodge of California and the Commission on Information for Recognition of the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America have interpreted the "American Doctrine" of exclusive territorial jurisdiction so as to recognize the authority of a Grand Lodge voluntarily to share its territorial jurisdiction with another Grand Lodge. In keeping with that interpretation of the "American Doctrine," the committee formally enquired of the Grand Lodge of

Connecticut whether it had any objection to the recognition of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Connecticut by the Grand Lodge of Idaho. The Grand Lodge of Connecticut replied that it has no objection to such recognition, including the exchange of visitation rights. The Committee on Fraternal Relations proposed, therefore, that the Grand Lodge of Idaho grant full recognition to the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Connecticut

Inc., "including the right of visitation and all other rights and privileges customary incident to recognition," provided that the Prince Hall Grand Lodge pass similar legislation. The motion was put to the Grand Lodge and "following much discussion the Report of Fraternal Relations was unanimously adopted." INDIANA Indianapolis, Indiana, May, 1994

Regarding the condition of the Craft, M.W. Bro. A. Vincent May stated in his

Grand Master's Address that it was his conviction that Freemasonry in Indiana is improving. He attributed this, in part, to greater activity both by the Grand Lodge and the subordinate lodges, together with improved relationships with the appendant bodies.

The Grand Master gave another reason for Masonry's excellent prospects in Indiana, namely that "the public at large is better informed about our gentle craft." He identified a number of factors which had a cumulative effect of greatly improved public FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 237

relations. First, he referred to the Masonic participation in the 500 Mile Parade. For the first time an Indiana Masonic float was entered in the parade and that float received the prestigious Directors' Trophy. Furthermore, the Grand Master presented college scholarships to the "Festival Queen" and to "Miss Congeniality" at the 500 Festival Queen's Ball. The presentation attracted considerable public attention because it was televised and was attended by many nationally known celebrities. A spin-off benefit from participation in the 500 Mile Parade was that several lodges requested (and received) permission to enter floats in local parades.

An effort was made this year to capitalize on the publicity value of the provision by Grand Lodge of over half a million dollars in college scholarships. The presentations were made at a public ceremony in the Scottish Rite Cathedral, at which a Senator "gave an inspirational and motivational message and assisted in the presentation of the scholarships."

"Even though Freemasonry is not a service club," M.W. Bro. May stated, "many of our members have expressed an interest in being allowed to participate in community affairs and to an extent I have been inclined to agree with those members." As an example of this, he reported that Grand Lodge had encouraged lodges to take part in the ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY project of the Department of Transportation of the State of Indiana. The amount of additional public awareness of Masonry, which had been gen- erated by this community activity, was indicated by the fact that ninety-nine lodges had received Grand Lodge approval to participate. IRELAND

Belfast, Armagh, Northern Ireland and Dublin, Republic of Ireland March, June, October, November, December, 1993

M.W. Bro. Darwin H. Templeton, in his report on the occasion of the 1993 St. John's Day Meeting, reminded members of Grand Lodge that in June they had been advised that the "Board of General Purposes had approved the establishment of the

Grand Master's Council (which is composed of all Provincial Grand Masters, their Deputies and two representatives from the Metropolitan area); and the Church

Committee. The Council has already proved its worth as a consultative body and in the years to come will be the medium through which the views of the Brethren can be transmitted for the consideration of Grand Lodge."

"The Council is not however an executive Body," Grand Lodge was informed in a

later report, "and its recommendations are passed in the normal way via the Grand

Lodge Board to Grand Lodge for approval or otherwise. Nonetheless it is a very val- uable extra tool in the decision-making process, and provides a means for any and every Brother to have his voice heard, and his wishes felt, in the running of his Order."

A report was received on the Church Committee, which had been established because "in recent years the Methodist Church in England, the Church of Scotland, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and the Southern Baptist Church in the United States

have all held sizeable, and in some cases quite one-sided 'investigations' into Free- 238 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

masonry." The mandate of the Church Committee is "to keep an eye on things and to be both a proactive and reactive Body as any particular set of circumstances might dictate." Possibly the committee's most important accomplishment has been the publication of the booklet The Christian and the Craft, which "answers and rebuts all the spurious arguments and untruths spread about Freemasonry, in terms ranging from learned theology to plain common sense. This booklet should be read by every Free- mason." It was suggested that this publication is of sufficiently high calibre that "when Lodges have time they could, with profit, read and discuss sections at their meetings."

Copies of The Christian and the Craft are available for purchase at the Office of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, Freemasons' Hall, 17 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2, Republic of Ireland. LOUISIANA Baton Rouge, Louisiana, February, 1994

M.W. Bro. Herman L. Key recommended that it be made the policy of Grand Lodge that all lodges send their delegates to Communications of Grand Lodge with an open mind and instructions to vote for the good of Masonry; not to send a delegate to Grand Lodge with a forced vote from the Lodge." Another recommendation by the Grand Master was that "All Lodges have more open meetings where non-Masons and their families are invited."

A proposal was introduced "to repeal those provisions contained in the Digest of Edicts which prohibit a Lodge from sponsoring or allying itself with a non-Masonic organization or from engaging in joint activities with non-Masonic organizations and to make such joint participation permissible provided that it is approved by the Grand Master." It was pointed out that this would increase the opportunities of a lodge to raise funds for Masonic and community charities and would also improve the public's perception of Freemasonry. Grand Lodge repealed the provisions of the Digest of Edicts in question. They were replaced with the following:

(i) "A Lodge may participate in outside activity with a non-Masonic organization

when such participation is sanctioned by the Grand Master."

(ii) "A Constituent Lodge may sponsor a Chapter of the Order of DeMolay, an Assembly of Rainbow Girls or a Bethel of Job's Daughters, but may not sponsor any other organization except upon a dispensation from the Grand Master." MAINE Portland, Maine, May, 1994

In his Report to Grand Lodge, the Grand Master stated that he was delighted to be able to say that there was much good news to report. "The spirit and vitality of hope," M.W. Bro. George P. Pulkkinen stated, "is forging strong bonds among the brethren, strong commitment to the cause of brotherly love, a healthy happiness as men open their hearts, minds and hands to help, aid and assist."

Notwithstanding his optimistic assessment of the state of Masonry in Maine, the FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 239

Grand Master sounded a warning that the Craft is still under attack from dark forces of ignorance and bigotry. He stated his firm conviction that "In some quarters Free- masonry remains the primary target for venom and bile, for hate and distrust." Hate mongering bigots, he said, are creating incalculable anguish, fear, heartache and confusion. M.W. Bro. Pulkkinen called on Masons to become active in Masonry's defence. "In my opinion," he warned Grand Lodge, "we as a Craft and as individuals must prepare ourselves to respond to this very real threat. We must assemble a corps of knowledgeable, articulate brethren ready to confront and neutralize the vicious attacks on our Fraternity with fact, with truth, and with the continued exercise of brotherly love."

The Grand Master reported that the Maine Masonic Membership Program had held a series of social events which were designed "to explain the facts of Masonry in a fun- filled evening of fellowship." Non-Masonic guests were given clearly understand-able answers to the following questions:

1. Who are Masons? 4. How does a man become a Mason?

2. What do they do? 5. How much of a time commitment is 3. Why do Masons do what they do? involved?

He felt that this programme had been positive in its effect, resulting in scores of applications for initiation. This was partly because the guests had learned that they must ask to become a Mason. "I believe," he concluded, "that properly applied, this working tool will, within the next two years, lead to a doubling of the qualified men currently raised to the sublime degree, and ultimately to a growth in our numbers." MANITOBA Winnipeg Manitoba, June, 1994

The Fraternal Relations Committee referred in its report to the question of mutual recognition of Prince Hall Freemasonry. It noted that the Grand Lodge of Manitoba, along with other Canadian Grand Lodges, passed a motion in 1992 accepting Prince Hall Masonry as regular and worthy of recognition. Although some Grand Lodges in Canada and the United States have granted mutual recognition to Prince Hall Masonry, the Grand Lodge of Manitoba has not done so. The committee reported, however, that "We have talked briefly with Grand Lodge officers of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Minnesota on several occasions but the subject of mutual recognition has not been broached. In April this year, we wrote the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of

Minnesota regarding mutual recognition. It is too soon to expect a reply but we are hoping for a positive answer."

M.W. Bro. Paul W. Drewniak alluded in his Address to the need for greater public awareness and acceptance of Freemasonry. "During the year," he said, "we discussed the use of our logo, the Square and Compasses, which created much discussion. As Freemasons we are taught to keep our Freemasonry secret, sometimes too secret. We should all try to get our Freemasonry out into the community around us and let the world know what we are and what we stand for." The Grand Master commended his brethren for two instances of making their Masonry plainly visible in the community 240 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA around them: (i) the drivers of the Cancer Cars "who dedicate so much of their time to the Canadian Cancer Society to drive cancer patients to and from hospital" and (ii) the Masons of Manitoba who continued to sponsor the Cancer Kids Christmas Party.

M.W. Bro. C. Edwin Drew was in attendance, accompanied by M.W. Bro. David Bradley, who is an Honourary Past Grand Master of Manitoba. In his remarks to

Grand Lodge, M.W. Bro. Drew stated that it is easy to develop a fixation with numbers in a time of weakened finances and fewer members. He maintained, however, that "if we improve the quality of our membership, our present members and potential members, our future members, then the numbers will look after themselves. Masonry is a first class organization and, M.W. Sir, you in Manitoba and your Brethren exemplify that."

M.W. Bro. Drewniak reported that he had been advised seven weeks previously that the Winnipeg Masonic Temple was in grave financial danger, because of large operating deficits for the past four years. He appointed a committee to discover what help was needed and how much assistance Grand Lodge could provide. Upon approval by Grand Lodge of a rescue package for the Temple, a committee was established to "oversee and direct the Temple Board." MASSACHUSETTS Boston, Massachusetts, March, June, September, December, 1993

In addressing the June Quarterly Communication M.W. Bro. David W. Lovering said that he had been studying the organization and administrative procedures of

Grand Lodge and had concluded that "We're succeeding in spite of ourselves . . . We need to know where our future leaders are coming from. To that end I have appointed a Committee to identify future leaders." He asked his brethren to submit the name of every Mason who, in their opinion, "has leadership ability, is enthusiastic and willing to work for the betterment of the Craft." He had appointed a committee, also, to consider another problem: "We need to plan our future and to establish some goals as to where we would like this Grand Lodge to be five, ten and twenty years from now."

The Grand Master maintained that the principle of toleration, which had been enunciated in Anderson's Constitutions of 1723, was Masonry's best defence against attacks on it by religious bigots. "Masons today," M.W. Bro. Lovering said, "more than ever, must adhere to this freedom based on Toleration. We must practice every day the principles thereof and make our Tolerance known to the world that all may see that this principle will overcome bigotry and will truly unite men of every country, sect and opinion." He quoted a verse, which had been composed by a Masonic writer:

"He drew a circle that shut me out, But Love and I had the wit to win, Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout; We drew a circle that took him in."

The Grand Lodge Library reported at the December Quarterly Communication that its level of activity was more than double that of the previous year. In 1993, the library "had 1433 visitors, including Masonic representatives from 26 countries, 33 states and 104 Massachusetts Lodges. We catalogued 503 books, circulated 1420 print and non- FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 241 print Library items and answered 1022 reference questions. Many of the questions focused on aspects of Masonic history, biography, and symbolism. Not surprisingly, this year also brought a sharp increase in questions about Freemasonry and religion. About 12% (122) of our reference questions came from non-Masonic researchers, many from area colleges." The increased financial support required by this level of activity was available because the library and museum had been incorporated in 1993 as the Massachusetts Masonic Library and Museum, Inc. As the report noted, "This action allows the Board of Directors to pursue nonprofit status for the Library and Museum so that donors thereto may gain tax credit." MINNESOTA

Rochester, Minnesota, April, 1994

A pleasant exchange of international Masonic courtesies marked the opening of Grand Lodge. M.W. Bro. Drewniak, on behalf of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba, pre- sented the Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Warren K. Clark, with the International Brother- hood Friendship Gavel. This implement was made of Canadian maple by an American craftsman and travels in a case made of American walnut by a Canadian. The gavel will be returned to the Grand Lodge of Manitoba at its next communication. This custom has been observed by these two Grand Lodges annually since 1979.

The Grand Master reported on conversations which he had had with Grand Lodge Officers from jurisdictions in the southern part of the United States. They warn that the recent vote in the Southern Baptist Convention that Freemasonry is a matter for each member's individual conscience does NOT mean that the forces of hatred and bigotry in that Convention are dead. They advised that it is certain that more attacks against Masonry will be made from that quarter. Therefore, M.W. Bro. Clark, strongly urged that Masons everywhere make preparations to defend themselves against future attacks. "We must continue," he said, "to blow our horn loudly on every corner in town, and put information out to everyone possible to counteract the image that many people have of the Masonic Fraternity. We have lots of information available, use it and get informed so you can talk intelligently about our Craft and what we stand for." NEVADA Reno, Nevada, November, 1993

In his Message to Grand Lodge, M.W. Bro. John L. Buffington maintained that the secret for Masonry's survival is much simpler than some suppose. "All the programs and suggestions," he said, "from your Grand Lodge, Appendant and Concordant bodies, studies of programs from other jurisdictions, Masonic Renewal, etc., cannot take the place of a good Lodge program with good leadership taking an active part in the Community, supporting Schools and Churches, youth programs, local charities, even some of their own." It was his view that for Masonry to survive and grow, "We need not change Masonry. We just need to change Masons!"

Regarding better public relations, again the Grand Master's approach was direct and simple: "We hear so many complaints that we receive no recognition from the news media. My brothers, if we are to receive recognition we must do something to deserve it." 242 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

The onus is on Masons, in M.W. Bro. Buffington's view, to be active participants in as many local charities, programmes and projects as possible. These are the things which create the news that the media will report. NEW BRUNSWICK Saint John, New Brunswick, May, 1994

The Committee on Fraternal Relations reported that, following the decision of Grand Lodge in 1992 to extend recognition with the right of visitation to the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ontario and Jurisdiction, a request for recognition had been re- ceived from the Connecticut Prince Hall Grand Lodge. The committee recommended that the request be granted because the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of the State of Connecticut and the Prince Hall Grand Lodge F. & AM. of Connecticut, Incorpor- ated, had "mutually agreed on October 14, 1989 to establish joint Recognition and Visitation rights."

Also following the decision by Grand Lodge in 1992 concerning visitation with Prince Hall lodges, M.W. Bro. Carr W. Graham reported that he had attended the 1993 Communication of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ontario and Jurisdiction, in Mont- real, Quebec. "This was the first inter-visitation with Prince Hall Grand Lodge," the Grand Master indicated.

The Executive Officer for the Atlantic Provinces of Canadian DeMolay reported that the movement continues to grow in New Brunswick: "Lots of new chapters are forming and many of the old ones are being rejuvenated." He stated that is consistent with experience across Canada. He identified two concerns, however. One is the reluctance of many Masons to make a personal commitment to DeMolay, pleading that they are heavily involved in other areas of Masonry. The other concern is inadequate financial support, which is needed "so that DeMolay does not become an organization for boys who can afford it but for all boys who will benefit from its teachings." DeMolay, he said, can be beneficial to Freemasonry as a potential source of recruits. Expressing the hope that members of Grand Lodge would continue to promote DeMolay, he urged them to remember that "the boys need your help, your Lodge needs the new members and you need the feeling that comes from helping others and making this world a better place to live."

M.W. Bro. Graham announced that through the generosity of the subordinate lodges Camp Goodtime would be able to operate again in 1994. In 1993, forty-one children, seven to thirteen years of age, who are afflicted with cancer, were able to have "a week of being as close as possible to the lifestyle of healthy children." The young campers, however, are not the only ones to benefit from this project. For example, one D.D.G.M. wrote: "Camp Goodtime has been a true catalyst to unite the membership in District No 1, as I am certain is the case New Brunswick wide. It is extremely rare to have a meeting go by in the District and not hear plans of the next event to raise funds for the Camp." The Grand Master thanked the members for their support of Camp Goodtime. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 243 NEW HAMPSHIRE Manchester, New Hampshire, November, 1993, May, 1994

The Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, at its semiannual communication, had a privilege which few, if any, Grand Lodges ever had before. It honoured a brother who was 108 years of age and who had been a Mason for eighty -six consecutive years. Following the adoption of a formal motion expressing congratulations, the brethren sang For He's A Jolly Good Fellow. The Grand Secretary reported at the May, 1994, Communication that, because this brother was no longer able to travel to New Hamp- shire, he had been visited at his place of residence in New Jersey and was congrat- ulated in person. By that time, he had reached the age of 109 years and was "believed to be the oldest Master Mason in the world both in terms of age and membership."

In his Address to the Annual Communication, M. W. Bro. George D. Van Dyke raised the question whether Freemasonry could ever again achieve its former effect- iveness and prominence. He stated his firm belief that this IS possible but he warned that "each and every one of us must pitch in today and start doing our part if we are going to succeed."

There was an urgent need, the Grand Master continued, to "overcome the paralysing apathy on the part of many of our members to what is so obviously hap- pening to Freemasonry today." The critical problem, in his judgement, was not the reduction in the membership but "the attitude on the part of so many who apparently are not concerned about the plight of our Craft, those who continue to sit back and wait for a miracle to happen and reverse the downward trend we've been experiencing for over thirty years — and that's not just in numbers, Brethren, it's in the esteem and respect with which others view us." NEW MEXICO Albuquerque, New Mexico, January, 1994

M.W. Bro. Kenneth K. Klentschy reminded the members of Grand Lodge that Masonry, in common with every organization, must continue to evolve so as to be able in the future, as in the past, to meet the different needs of an ever changing world.

Masonry must be attractive to young men, the Grand Master maintained, if they are to come and to stay in the Craft. He emphasized that youth is needed in the Fraternity today as never before! M.W. Bro. Klentschy suggested to his brethren that they ask themselves if they are so far separated from the youth of today as to be unable or unwilling to realize that they are our future? "If we gently take them by the hand," he said, "and teach them the great and lasting meaning of our beliefs, they will carry on into the future the tenets of our profession. I suspect that they will do it in a different way than we would, but what difference does it make if the race is won by speed or taking advantage of the breaks that present themselves in our journey?"

The Committee on Jurisprudence gave a favourable report on a motion that the New Mexico Masonic Codes be amended to permit State-wide Concurrent and Terri- torial Jurisdiction. The motion was adopted by Grand Lodge with the proviso that "A 244 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

petitioner must have been a resident of the State of New Mexico for a period of six (6) consecutive months immediately preceding the date of his petition." NEW SOUTH WALES Sydney, New South Wales, September, December, 1992, March, June, 1993

At the December, 1992, Quarterly Communication M.W. Bro. Noel F. Dunn an- nounced that he had established a committee "to investigate the feasibility of the introduction of a Young Masons Association. Such an association would be aimed at providing for the Masonic and social needs of the under 40 year-old Masons."

The Grand Master referred (at the March Quarterly Communication) to a visit which he had made to the Governor of the State "for the purpose of presenting a message of loyalty and support to Her Majesty the Queen on behalf of the Freemasons of New South Wales. I was pleased to receive a letter of reply from Her Majesty, a copy of which can be found on page 16 of the February, 1993, issue of The N.S.W.

Freemason. This reply will, I believe, bring great satisfaction to all Members of our Craft."

M.W. Bro. Dunn recommended at the June Quarterly Communication that when a charge is to be made for a lodge supper or banquet, the brethren (and particularly visitors) be advised before they leave the lodge room to avoid the chance of embar- rassment. Also, he made a recommendation "that a Master Mason should not be approached to join, nor should he consent to join, any other acknowledged Order within 24 months of becoming a Master Mason."

The Grand Master reviewed the work of the Commission for the Future and the 1990 recommendation that a Strategic Planning Process be undertaken. This "conforms with the management practices used by major business and government enterprises and would ensure the secretariat is given consistent direction." M.W. Bro. Dunn indicated two significant achievements of the Commission for the Future, which will greatly benefit Masonry in New South Wales. The first of these was the identification of NINE CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS, which he regarded as absolute prerequisites to success.

He reported that all that remained to be done in the Strategic Planning Process, with reference to these nine factors, was the appointment of nine Project Managers to implement them.

The second achievement of the Commission for the Future was the formulation of the following MISSION STATEMENT for Freemasonry, to which the Grand Master said he was absolutely committed:

"TO BE, AND TO BE RECOGNISED AS BEING, AN ORGANISATION OF EXCELLENCE FOR ALL WORTHY MEN, REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED OR POLITICAL PERSUASION — MAKING GOOD MEN BETTER AND PROMOTING TOLERANCE, FELLOWSHIP, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY INVOL VEMENT WE WILL PERPETUATE FREEMASONRY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS" FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 245 NEW YORK

New York City, New York, May, 1994

The Committee on Child Identification reported that its work continues to be very successful and to receive praise, particularly from the non-Masonic public who are its beneficiaries. "About 9,000 video cassettes," the chairman indicated, "were distributed to districts and lodges throughout the State. We have had very successful taping sessions in association with the Red Cross, schools, churches, Police Departments, YMCA, and day care centers. Many children were videotaped at wellness fairs, health fairs, town and county fairs and even in empty storefronts in shopping malls." Because the tapes are presented to the parents, for use if necessary in the identification of missing children, the committee felt that the Masons of the State of New York "are performing a most valuable community service by being a visible contributor to the sense of security and well being of our children and future."

Formal relations with the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, according to the Report of the Committee on Unity, remain about the same as they were in the previous year. The chairman observed, however, that there are increasing indications under the surface of changes in attitudes. He noted that "while our Grand Lodge had unanimously voted to create the Committee on Unity (as an Utopian concept to be discussed), we are not adverse to mutual recognition; we acknowledge that there have to be intermediate steps. We are ready to talk without any preconditions." Because of various gestures of conciliation on both sides, the chairman expressed his hope that "within the coming year, we can start the dialogue with the Prince Hall Grand Lodge. We have noted on every occasion over the past six years that we want to coexist and are prepared to recommend mutual recognition to our Grand Lodge." The Committee on Corres- pondence and Relations commented with reference to Prince Hall Masonry that "we are pleased to note that there seems to be slightly more activity in terms of contacts between our two groups." The Grand Master reported that, although he had been well received on those occasions when he had met informally with Prince Hall Masons, "to date we have not been able to have a formal discussion on the future of our two

Grand Lodges. Our door is open, and will remain open for discussion."

M.W. Bro. Gary A. Henningsden spoke in his Address of challenges, opportunities and changes. His theme was that "CHANGE is our Grand Lodge watchword. CHANGE not for change's sake, but change for the betterment of Freemasonry. CHANGE that will make Masonry a household word - CHANGE that will make Masonry relevant with today's society — CHANGE where we will continue to train and educate our Brethren for the challenges of tomorrow - and CHANGE where all our Brothers will have a voice in our Fraternity." NEW ZEALAND Nelson, New Zealand, November, 1993

In his Address to Grand Lodge, M.W. Bro. Kenneth W. Norton spoke of the need to cultivate public awareness and acceptance of Freemasonry. "We want the public at

large to know and understand us better. Let's face it," he said, "I don't really think that 246 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

they know much about us at all. The media, in every community, have been more supportive as they better realise our function and aims. We must give them, and through them the public, a better chance to understand our Craft. And of course if we want people to be interested and to join, then we must continue to be more open of what we are about, more often, more loudly, and I want us all to do just that."

R.W. Bro. D. B. McLaggan, President of the Board of General Purposes, discussed a topic that is being considered more frequently in Masonic circles: CHANGE. He observed that no country and no society is free in this age from the pressures of a great many fundamental changes. It was his belief that Freemasonry, too, must adapt to change in order to survive in a new climate. Not surprisingly, the Board convened a conference so as to "go back to basics" and to consult "the grass roots." Those at the conference came from all parts of the country and from all ranks of the Craft, from a Master Mason to the Grand Master. Two aspects of the conference, however, were unusual. First, the conference met "under the guidance of a consulting group who specialise in strategic planning." Secondly, "To the surprise of many, we invited Mrs.

Ida Gaskin who has a knowledge of Freemasonry, but is more widely known for her skill in the Master Mind TV Show. We invited Ida, not only because she was a lady, but also to use her keen mind and to listen to an outsider's viewpoint."

"It became quite clear," said R.W. Bro. McLaggan in reporting the conclusions of the conference, "that the unique history and character of Freemasonry is our strength. The voluntary aspect, where people give of their time freely and without cost or recognition. The concern for the aged and sick, along with our benevolence, is what makes us quite different from others. Therefore, when addressing the future, we have no need to change our ritual, our tenets, or our ancient landmarks. Neither should we lower our standards to gain members." The President of the Board of General Purposes stated that the vision of the future which grew out of the conference, which

"we want to present and share with the Craft is captured in a MISSION STATEMENT':

"TO BE A MODERN VIABLE ORGANISATION WITHIN NEW ZEALAND, RETAINING ITS UNIQUE HISTORICAL TRADITION BASED UPON SOUND MORAL STANDARDS, FELLOWSHIP AND BENEVOLENCE." NOVA SCOTIA

Sydney, Nova Scotia, June, 1994

In stressing the importance to Freemasonry of attracting and retaining young men, M.W. Bro. D. Frank MacKay referred to the Order of DeMolay as a body that

"teaches the Love of parents . . . Love of God . . . Patriotism . . . Purity . . . Courtesy

. . . Comradeship and Fidelity, which develops the best in youth and ensures the best in men. These are the Masons of tomorrow." He then offered a formula for success in meeting the present and future needs of Freemasonry in Nova Scotia. "If we are to go forward," he said, "we must make Masonry attractive to the young men of our community. Our time honoured precepts will undoubtedly attract them and then we must retain them by directing our meetings and gatherings to fit modern times ... by being educational, entertaining and inspiring ... not dull and boring." FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 247

The Deputy Grand Master spoke of an event that was deeply disturbing to many

Masons in Nova Scotia. R.W. Bro. David Hatt indicated that "This is the first time in 85 years the Grand Lodge will not be receiving an update report on the continuing care being provided to our elderly guests at the Freemasons Home in Windsor." He stated that the staff and Executive Officers had to deal with the drastic, but very necessary step of closing the Freemasons Home.

The closing of the Nova Scotia Freemasons Home resulted from the transfer by the provincial government of the administration of homes for special care from the Department of Community Services to the Department of Health. With the transfer came fundamental changes in policy. One of the new goals was to have all special care facilities, of which the Freemasons Home was one, able to provide full medical care, so as to eliminate the need to transfer guests to hospital as frequently as at present. Another factor in the closure was the Fire Marshal's report that extensive alterations were required to make the building conform with the current building code.

The chairman of the Home's Board of Trustees stressed the need for continued

financial support, notwithstanding the closing of the building. "We still have 22 mason- ically sponsored residents," he reminded Grand Lodge, "who are now being cared for in other homes and institutions. We have an obligation to continue providing care for

all their needs for the remainder of their lives. You have been provided, through your

lodge secretary, with a list of these Masons/widows, where they are at present and their

sponsoring lodge. It is certainly our hope that Masons will remember them, particularly on special occasions." OREGON

Springfield, Oregon, June, 1993

The Grand Master's pride in the work of Oregon Masons in the "Cancer Care Car

Program" was evident in his Address. This is a programme of community assistance in which many people are helped to get to their doctors and therapy treatments. As M.W. Bro. G. William Oldham pointed out, in lodges and communities where this is being

done "everyone wins: the person needing transportation, the one providing it and the Fraternity as well."

With reference to the disagreement between the Grand Lodges of Oregon and Idaho relative to the recognition of Prince Hall Masonry in their two jurisdictions, M.W. Bro. Oldham reported on the steps he had taken to endeavour to effect a rapprochement. In company with the Deputy Grand Master he had travelled to Idaho Falls to meet with the Prince Hall Grand Master and with the Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master of Idaho. In addition, M.W. Bro. Levitt, a Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of California, was present and acted as an intermediary. All three parties in the disagreement agreed to take steps in their respective jurisdictions designed to restore harmony. M.W. Bro. Oldham expressed his disappointment that

not all of these commitments had been discharged. He declared his personal deter- mination, however, to continue to search for a settlement of the problem that would

be acceptable to all concerned. 248 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

A Resolution was presented to Grand Lodge which redefined the terms ELEC- TIONEERING and CAMPAIGNING. The intention of the resolution was to make a dis- tinction between, on the one hand, partisan solicitation of support for candidates for public political office and, on the other hand, activities designed to make known the qualifications of a brother for elective office in Grand Lodge and/or a subordinate lodge. The former activity, according to the motion's preamble, was contrary to Masonic tenets, whereas the latter would be beneficial to Masonry. The following

Resolution was approved by Grand Lodge: "Be it resolved that in the future the terms 'electioneering' and 'campaigning,' when used in this Grand Jurisdiction, shall be defined as the partisan endorsement of some candidate for public office at the local, county, state or federal level, and that information concerning a brother's desire for elective office in this Grand Lodge or any subordinate lodge, or his qualifications or lack of qualifications for such office, are specifically excluded from the definition." PENNSYLVANIA Philadelphia and Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania, March, June, December, 1993

The chairman of the Committee on Library and Museum informed the March Quarterly Communication that a bid had been placed on the purchase of the Kelchner Art Collection, which had been shown in the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia in the 1970s. In this collection are more than fifty views of "King Solomon's Temple," as well as a model of the Temple which had remained on display until 1985. It was announced at the June Quarterly Communication that the bid to purchase the Kelchner Art Collection (originally known as the Holman Collection) had been successful and that the materials had been received from Canada in May. "The model of King Solomon's

Temple has returned home as part of this acquisition and is now on display in our Reference Library. The remaining items will be dispersed throughout various places in the Temple later this year."

In his report to the Annual Grand Communication, the Right Worshipful Grand Master, R. W. Bro. Edward H. Fowler Jr, referred to the decision of Grand Lodge to approve dual membership. "In keeping with modern lifestyles and mobility," he said, "Brethren residing in Pennsylvania who have retirement or vacation homes, or those who are relocated in career moves, will be able to retain their home Lodge relationship and enjoy the fellowship of a secondary Lodge that they might attend frequently. Like- wise Brethren who move into this state may be able to be active Members of a Pennsylvania Lodge while retaining their original Lodge Membership."

The Pennsylvania Masonic Foundation for Leadership and Management, Inc. reported that the Strategic Planning Process for the Symbolic Lodges, which had been developed by the Foundation, is being successful as a vehicle "to ensure Freemasonry's survival into the next century and beyond." Five hundred brethren in 105 lodges have received training designed to prepare them and their lodges "to meet the opportunities and challenges of the twenty-first century, and to do so without altering the fund- amentals, basic precepts or the ritual of the Fraternity." In the training programme, code named HIRAM I, "The participants learn to develop a vision for their Lodge. They learn the importance of planning and goal setting, and how to establish a FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 249

Leadership team within the Lodge. Most importantly, they learn to take those new skills and tools back to their own Lodge and to use them to help their members develop a strategic process." Thirty-six facilitators have been appointed, whose primary function is to guide individual lodges in establishing leadership teams and developing strategic plans. The Foundation's goal is to have at least one facilitator in each of the 59 Masonic districts: an increase from the current number of 25 districts with that capability. PHILIPPINES

Davao City, Philippines, April, 1993

An unusual step in collaboration between Freemasonry and government was taken by the Grand Lodge and the Department of Health of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines, when they agreed to work together in implementing public policy in a matter of fundamental social concern. The Memorandum of Agreement was executed in October, 1992, by M.W. Bro. Agustin V. Mateo, Grand Master, and the

Hon. Juan M. Flavier, Secretary of the Department of Health. In it the two parties became partners in a joint Integrated Health and Family Planning system in the Philippines.

The Agreement provided that "The delivery system, which will be implemented by the Freemasons through its two hundred and fifty-one lodges, will be implemented

(free of charge) by its members as part of its on-going civic action program. The Department of Health will provide the project technical advice, and whatever other input it may deem fit."

A Grand Master's Circular, entitled "INCLUSION OF RESPONSIBLE PARENT- HOOD IN CIVIC ACTION ACTIVITIES OF ALL SUBORDINATE LODGES," was sent to the officers and members of Grand Lodge and of subordinate lodges. M.W. Bro.

Mateo directed that all lodges include responsible parenthood in their Civic Action

Projects for indigent families. The Department of Health "will teach all Brethren and their wives the latest methods in responsible parenthood, which they would then include as part of their civic action projects." The lodges were required to report to Grand Lodge their projects in support of the Circular.

In his Inaugural Address as the new Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Rizal D. Aport- adera, remarked on the role of Masons in the history of his country. "We are now entering into a centenary of Philippine Masonry and, coincidentally, of Philippine in- dependence as well. Unfortunately, however, we find ourselves buffeted by familiar tempests of prejudice and indifference. Despite the odds, we shall dare to proclaim with pride and honor, that our independence from Spain and America would not have been possible without distinguished Masons, who were forefront in asserting the individual's right and freedom to worship God according to his conscience and the right for self-government under a constitutional framework." M.W. Bro. Aportadera left a challenging question with his hearers: "Will the next generation of Freemasons be able to also proclaim with pride our achievements?" 250 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, June, 1994

Three matters of fundamental importance were dealt with in M.W. Bro. J. Gordon

MacKenzie's Address: (i) the nature and purpose of Freemasonry; (ii) the Craft's willingness and ability to cope with change generally; (iii) the effects on current practice of changing attitudes with respect to Masonic "secrecy."

Concerning the nature and purpose of the Craft, the Grand Master said that in Masonry will be found "MEN OF GOOD WILL and HIGH IDEALS; men who believe in A SUPREME BEING and who try to live in a spirit of Universal BROTHERHOOD. The principles in which they believe are proven and tested. A Masonic Lodge is a place where all can work together with a rare UNANIMITY, looking towards a BRIGHTER

TOMORROW. In short, Masonry is striving to BUILD A BETTER WORLD BY BUILDING BETTER MEN TO LIVE IN IT."

M.W. Bro. MacKenzie took a historical perspective in his examination of the changes that have occurred in Masonry over the years to maintain its relevancy to the changing needs of society. He demonstrated how, in keeping with those changes, Masonry was transformed from an association of operative stone masons to a speculative society of men whose primary interest was morality. "Down through the ages," he said, "we have changed as members and life styles adapted to local conditions and customs." As examples, he identified some recent changes intended to reduce the traditional Masonic emphasis on secrecy. These included more involvement of wives and other family members, greater stress on programmes and events which benefit the community, increased frequency of special events to which non-Masons are invited and more openness about who Masons are and what they stand for, even to the point of asking a good man if he had ever considered becoming a Mason. The Grand Master emphasized that "We are trying hard to shed the cloak of so-called 'secrecy' which has plagued us since days long past."

The Committee on Fraternal Relations spoke in its report of the role of all Master Masons, not only members of Grand Lodge, in developing Masonic friendships with other jurisdictions. "There are many ways of establishing and extending Fraternal

Relations," the committee said, "but none is more satisfying than actually visiting Brethren in other Jurisdictions or having them visit you."

The Committee on the Ritual announced that the WEBB STANDARD FORMULA RITUAL in a full-English format (not in coded abbreviations) was available for distri- bution. The committee stated that, though this Ritual is at least a century old, "to the best of our knowledge this is the first printing of a full-English version of it." QUEBEC Montreal, Province of Quebec, June, 1994

M.W. Bro. Charles Ramsay expressed the hope in his Annual Address that some suspended members might be restored to active membership by means of an amnesty FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 251 programme which he had instituted. This hope was reiterated by the Grand Secretary when he explained in his report how the Grand Master's amnesty programme would operate in the matter of suspensions which, in his opinion, continued to be a major problem. Under the terms of the amnesty "a brother having been suspended for non payment of dues may be restored by the will of the lodge without the payment of the amount owing."

The Grand Master reported that there is a continuing dialogue between the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ontario and Jurisdiction and the Grand Lodge of Quebec, with meetings being held approximately twice a year. He indicated that "A document is presently being prepared which outlines the agreement between both parties and will be signed by the appropriate individuals from both jurisdictions." SASKATCHEWAN Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, June, 1994

M.W. Bro. John Peter Brooks said in his Address to Grand Lodge that, if one went by reports which he had received with respect to the difficulties being experienced by lodges in the jurisdiction, it would be difficult to see much improvement in the con- dition of Masonry in Saskatchewan. Notwithstanding such gloomy reports, however, the

Grand Master was optimistic concerning the future. "It may take a few years," he said, "to see the results of our Masonic Renewal Program but there does seem to be a more positive attitude throughout our jurisdiction." He was confident that reports in 1995 would show a great deal of improvement.

Much of the confidence in the future that was evident in the prediction of M.W. Bro. Brooks was based on his belief in the ability of Masonic Renewal to turn things around. He made two recommendations in this regard:

(i) That the incoming Grand Master continue to promote Masonic Renewal with the constituent Lodges and encourage each Lodge to participate in the renewal programme and, also, to become involved in some area of youth philanthropy;

(ii) That the Masonic Renewal Committee become a Standing Committee of the Board of General Purposes.

The Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. Norman Cook, reported that the Board of General Purposes had been restructured, as mandated by Grand Lodge in 1993. The reorganization of the Board is continuing with a review of the Standing Committees, leading to the possible combination of committees where appropriate. He suggested that though the committees would be fewer in number, they might be more effective because of having clearer terms of reference. He stated that it was his intention to continue to have a strong Masonic renewal programme, which would still be directed by the Masonic Renewal Committee.

Reference was made to a paper about Prince Hall Masonry, which had been prepared for the Board of General Purposes by M.W. Bro. R. Craig Woods, chairman of the Committee on Fraternal Relations and Correspondence. It was his recommend- ation, as expressed in his paper, that Grand Lodge "should be very careful in acknow- ledging this organization." 252 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

Upon a motion duly moved, seconded and carried unanimously, the Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan conferred the rank and the distinction of Honourary Past Deputy

Grand Master on R.W. Bro. Durward I. Greenwood "in recognition of eminence, ability and services rendered." SCOTLAND Edinburgh, Scotland, February, May, August, November, 1993

The final report of the Ad Hoc Committee appointed to examine the financing of the Scottish Craft was submitted to Grand Lodge. This committee of eleven members had been established under the chairmanship of the Most Worshipful Grand Master Mason, Brigadier Sir Gregor MacGregor of MacGregor, Bart., to examine the current financial position and to make recommendations to Grand Lodge for future financial strategies.

Because of the scale of the exercise, the committee organized itself into four working parties, each of which prepared a report for the whole committee concerning one of: Daughter Lodges, Provincial Grand Lodges, Scottish Masonic Homes and

Grand Lodge. In its final report the committee presented the results of its work relative to each of these areas of concern under the following headings: (i) Intro- duction, (ii) Facts and Findings, (iii) Recommendations and (iv) Comments and Con- clusions. The reports to Grand Lodge of the four working parties of the Ad Hoc committee submitted twenty (20) recommendations with reference to Daughter Lodges, thirteen (13) recommendations with reference to Provincial Grand Lodges, two (2) recommendations with reference to Scottish Masonic Homes and seven (7) recommendations with reference to Grand Lodge itself.

The Ad Hoc Committee on Financing made an observation that may interest a number of Masons who formerly lived in Scotland and have Masonic roots in the Scottish Craft: "The Committee took into account the very strong support for the retention of Life Membership, which became apparent during the consultations, and consideration will be given to a scheme which, it is hoped, will prove more financially beneficial to the Lodges."

Regarding implementing its recommendations, the Ad Hoc Committee noted that many of its proposals are such "which if approved could then be acted upon and Lodges and Brethren will have the choice to implement them or otherwise. Others are administrative matters which, if passed, will require to be acted upon by the Grand

Secretary. Several, however, if approved, will be mandatory and, in order to be effected, will require a change in the Constitution and Laws." SOUTH CAROLINA

Greenville, South Carolina, April, 1994

In his observations on the state of the Craft, M.W. Bro. Alfred Allsbrook stated that he believed that there is a close relationship between attendance and the number of suspensions for nonpayment of dues. "It's a rarity," the Grand Master said, "to see a Brother who attends Lodge regularly be erased from the rolls. We must improve FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 253

communications between the Lodge and its members. We must do all we can to make our meetings interesting and educational."

In the report of the Masonic Education Committee there was a reference to an event that regularly attracts Masons from a wide area. "Many of your Grand Lodge Officers," the Committee observed, "including the Grand Master, were privileged to attend the Annual Rock Quarry Meeting at Wing's Quarry on September 17, 1993. As usual, visitors from throughout South Carolina and many other states joined the brothers of the 18th District to witness a beautiful portrayal of the third degree of Masonry."

The Masonic Education Committee referred, also, to other Masonic occasions that are highly successful in South Carolina. The committee commended "the lodges and districts who take the trouble to host outdoor and early morning degrees. These events are quite popular and always give the brothers a chance for great fellowship, food and degree work." SOUTH DAKOTA

Sioux Falls, South Dakota, June, 1993

M.W. Bro. Ronald E. Lockwood submitted a proposal to amend the section of the Bylaws of Grand Lodge prohibiting the introduction of alcoholic beverages into any lodge room or adjacent room being used for lodge purposes. The amendment changed the existing provision of the Bylaw, which prohibited wine or liquor "on any occasion or any pretext whatever," by adding "provided, however, that wine may be used at

Masonic functions or as a part of ritual, so long as an alternative liquid is available."

It was pointed out that the purpose of the amendment was to accommodate some appendant Bodies, which have been using wine in their ritual for many years. One question was asked: "What is the strength of wine? That's my question. That is the only thing, how strong is wine?" When no other Member responded to the Grand Master's request for assistance in answering the question, the Grand Chaplain said,

"Maybe I shouldn't answer this question, but wine can only be fermented to 13 percent maximum." The amendment was approved.

Another amendment to the Bylaws, which was approved by Grand Lodge, reduced the mandatory interval between conferring more than one degree on the same candidate from four weeks to seven days. The shortened interval had been permitted during 1992-1993, under dispensation of M.W. Bro. Lockwood. It was argued that "The procedure proved to be useful to many Lodges and encouraged the obtaining of new members." TASMANIA Latrobe, Tasmania, February, 1994

Upon the recommendation of the Board of General Purposes, Grand Lodge amended the regulation governing Masonic dress to the effect that "approved civil orders, decorations and service medals may be worn on approved occasions" with Masonic regalia. The following guidelines were established: 254 GRAND LOEX3E OF CANADA

1. The approved orders, decorations and medals are those designated in the Australian order of precedence for the wearing of orders, decorations and medals;

2. Except for neck decorations, only miniature medals may be worn;

3. A member who may wear a Masonic collarette jewel will wear the miniature

medal of any other approved order or decoration to which he is entitled;

4. Civil orders, decorations and medals may be worn with Masonic dress on occasions such as Anzac Day, Remembrance Day and special events as may be designated by the Worshipful Master.

A proposed stipulation that Masonic jewels should at all times take precedence was not approved by Grand Lodge.

M.W. Bro. P. G. Hodges announced his intention to conduct a Masonic Education

Conference. He stated his belief that education in matters related to the Craft "is still of prime importance and the requirement for Masters to allocate sufficient space in their annual programme for members to make an advancement in their knowledge is necessary." TEXAS Waco, Texas, December, 1993

M.W. Bro. Robert O. Schnell spoke with pride in his report of the contagious joy of the Masons of Texas in the Craft and of their enthusiasm in supporting it. An outstanding example of that support, which the Grand Master mentioned particularly, was the PENNYA DAY programme in which each Texas Mason is asked to make a ten- year commitment to contribute one penny a day. M.W. Bro. Schnell stated that the project continued to be a great success. "These donations," he said, "are placed into the funded endowment, established in 1991, and only the interest from this fund will ever be spent. A total of over $89,000 has been contributed to this endowment fund this year."

The Masonic Education and Service Committee reported on the accomplishments of its programme for training lodge officers. This is a course of instruction which the incoming Master and Wardens must complete successfully before they may assume their offices. Although the course is intended primarily to train the senior officers of a lodge, many junior officers are participating in it and finding it helpful to them in the discharge of their duties. VICTORIA

East Melbourne, Victoria, March, June, September, December, 1993

The Board of General Purposes reported at the March Quarterly Communication that among the issues which it was considering was the production of a Forty Year Badge. It was announced in June that the Board had approved the badge recognizing forty years of service to the Craft, which could be purchased by qualified brethren through the lodge secretary. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 255

Following his Installation in March as Grand Master, M.W. Bro. John W. Humphris spoke of the inevitability of change. Quoting Marconi who told sceptics that wireless was going to come, like it or not, the Grand Master said, "Likewise, we are going to change, like it or not. We have to move with the times and, in being modern in our thinking in no way changes our obligations to the ancient Tenets and Principles of the

Craft." He added a warning that without such change it would become increasingly difficult to demonstrate that Masonry is a progressive organization with something to offer to all men and one to which they would want to belong.

M.W. Bro. Humphris spoke, in September, of his pleasure in seeing educational programmes at work on Saturday mornings. He was confident that the students at all levels were benefiting immensely and he was grateful to those Masons who gave so freely of their time and talents in organizing these extra classes to assist their brethren to fulfil their potential. One of the principal ways of doing this, he suggested, is for them to improve their ability to express their thoughts clearly. Therefore, he said that he would again recommend the work of the Rhetoric Lodge of Communication, No. 831, whose role is "to help Brethren develop and cultivate the art of human communication, particularly in the conduct of Masonic rites and ceremonies, and in associated functions."

The Rhetoric Lodge of Communication may well be unique, although there are several Masonic Research Lodges that work in more or less the same way. The Grand

Master described it thus: "No degree work is carried out at its meetings. Instead, a short address is usually given, after which the Lodge is closed and the Brethren divide into small tutorial groups where various skills of communication are developed by practising under the guidance of experienced and dedicated tutors. For Brethren unable to visit the Lodge because of distance, or clash of meeting nights, courses in public speaking and ritual presentation are conducted, on request, in suburban and country areas. Also, an individual or a team from the Rhetoric Lodge of Communica- tion can be invited to present an informative and enjoyable evening in your Lodge." WASHINGTON Pasco, Washington, June, 1993

M.W. Bro. George T Leslie, in his Address to Grand Lodge, expressed his views concerning solicitation. Because every Mason in the jurisdiction knew at least one friend, relative, co-worker or neighbour with whom he would be proud to sit in lodge and call a brother, the Grand Master maintained that all that had to be done "is to let them know who we are, what we stand for, what we do for humankind and how they might gain admission." If Masons approached only those for whom they had great personal respect, they could not help but choose well. He asked: "Is this solicitation?

You bet it is! But it is solicitation of the proper kind."

The Grand Master noted that, while many lodges supported a Grand Lodge initiative to raise funds for the Children's Hospital and Medical Center, a few did not. He reminded Grand Lodge that the success of every lodge and of the Craft generally is absolutely dependent on there being sufficient members willing to work hard to 256 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

achieve success, because "The only place I know where success comes BEFORE work is in the dictionary." WEST VIRGINIA

Wheeling, West Virginia, October, 1993

The Committee on Masonic Jurisprudence observed in its report that the word "Sabbath," rather than the word "Sunday," was used in the PROCEEDINGS in both 1914 and 1943. The committee made specific reference to the decree that "A Master

Mason's Lodge can do no business or work on the Sabbath Day." Although it recog- nized that some brethren may define "Sabbath" and "Sunday" differently, the committee

wished it to be understood clearly that for the purposes of Masonic Law in West

Virginia, the correct interpretation is to the effect that "both 'Sabbath' and 'Sunday' are used to denote the day of the week commonly called 'Sunday,' and the provisions of our law which use the word 'Sabbath' should be applied as though the word 'Sunday' had been used instead."

In his Annual Address, M.W. Bro. James E. Winzenreid noted that the Craft is in a period of transition. It is under such heavy attack from so many quarters that some members actually have begun to question the value of Freemasonry. He expressed the

opinion that Grand Lodge would be "successful in this time of change if we have a

clear vision of who we are, and what we have to offer." The Grand Master felt, how- ever, that considerable success was in fact being experienced at present in West Virginia, notwithstanding fears to the contrary. As evidence of that success, he pointed out that West Virginia "continues to enjoy one of the highest Masonic memberships,

per capita, in the United States, a statistic I view with great pride."

Following his Installation as Grand Master for the ensuing year, M.W. Bro. Bill F. Gardner outlined his programme and the accomplishments which would be his goals. One of these would be to find a way to prevent the steady loss of lodge records of potential historical significance. "Throughout this Grand Jurisdiction," he stated, "there is common concern that a great deal of our heritage, documents, valuable information and memorabilia is being lost because we do not have a suitable archives in which to deposit them. I am, therefore, appointing a special committee to study this need, to recommend a suitable site for the archives to be established, and to develop a system of collection and cataloging valuable information." APPENDIX C 257

ADDRESS BY M.W. BRO. W. DON BAUGHER AT THE GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET JULY 19, 1995

INTRODUCTION OF GUEST SPEAKER BY M.W. BRO. C. EDWIN DREW

Don was born in southeast Missouri, Chatauqua Falls, and he decided at an early age that there had to be an easier way to earn a living. He moved to Michigan in 1956, shortly after finishing High School, and started working for the Whirlpool Corporation, where he has been employed for 38 years, except for some time he took off to attend Lake Michigan College and to serve his country in the United States Army.

Don was raised a Master Mason in 1963, and, thirty years later, served as the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge F. & A.M of the Grand Lodge of Michigan. The theme for his year as Grand Master was "Masons Care About Kids" and Don has tried to set an example for others to follow in that regard; and I have to tell you on the side that when 1 visited the Grand Lodge of Michigan I was greatly honoured to be seated at the table with his two daughters, and it was just a marvellous evening and I thank you for that M.W. Sir. He is the State Official for the International Order of Rainbow for Girls; he is a member of the Board of DeMolay Foundation of Michigan; he is a Bethel Guardian for a new reformed Bethel of Job's Daughters, which he helped to form, and he is the founding President of the Michigan Masonic Youth Association.

He is a member of the Executive Committee and he is the current President of the

National Masonic Foundation for Children, and is the co-ordinator of the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program in Michigan.

I have enjoyed being associated with our guest speaker over a number of years and

I enjoy his company so much, and it is my pleasure to introduce to you your guest speaker - M.W. BRO. DON BAUGHER.

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge of Canada

in the Province of Ontario, Distinguished Guests and my Brothers all:

What a pleasure it is for me to be here this evening addressing this august inter- national group of Masons. Now doesn't that sound impressive — International Group of Masons. I am really impressed with your Grand Lodge. Everything is done with such good taste. Your Grand Master is dressed in tails and conducts this Grand Lodge with 258 APPENDIX C great skill and dignity. We have just finished a great meal, listened to beautiful music and had our dessert piped in. Where I came from in Missouri, the closest I could come to that would be bib overalls, country and western music and "throwed rolls."

When your Grand Master called me back in February and asked me to come here tonight, I told my wife and daughter that I was now on the International Speaking

Circuit. My wife gave me one of those looks that said, "I've heard you speak . . . don't give up your day job." Family has a way of bringing us back to reality don't they? Back in May of 1993, I was on my way to our Grand Lodge session where, if all went according to plan, I was to be installed as Grand Master on Wednesday at the end of the Grand Lodge session. I had a lot of work to do and my wife was driving the car. Right out of the clear blue she said, "Don, next Wednesday when you become God, what do I say to you when you sneeze?" I found out real quick that she didn't really think I was God. In fact, for the next year the only time she used that word in reference to me, it was only half a word.

Maybe that is why so many men become Masons, so they can get away from the abuse at home. They say that Abraham Lincoln would have been satisfied being a country lawyer but his wife was so mean to him that he had to do something to get out of the house, so he became President. My wife must not be that mean because I have only been Grand Master. That should tell you something about Harry Truman's home life ... he was Grand Master and President too!

Enough of the nonsense. Of course our families support us in our Masonic activ- ities and they have been for years, and why shouldn't they? We are the oldest, largest and finest fraternal organization in the world and we are proud of it and so are they. Masons have done more for the good of mankind in North America and around the world than any other group and we will continue to do so as long as there are good, moral men in the world that will keep this fraternity alive and relevant to the com- munities where we exist. Masons throughout history seem to rise to the surface when the need is the greatest, and that brings me to my topic for this evening. I believe it is time for Masons to rise to the occasion again. Today, more than any time in the history of the world, our children are being threatened to the point that we are in danger of losing an entire generation of our youth. That to me is very scary. There are more kids out there today at risk of becoming abused, addicted, exploited and de- humanized than ever before and, while this may sound hopeless, I think I can safely say that it is not, but far from it. I have been challenging the Masons in Michigan to do two things if they really care about this world we live in and this fraternity that we love. First, if you truly love this fraternity, you must do everything you can to per- petuate it and that means that you must make sure that you bring in at least one new member, preferably a young one, to take your place when you are gone. Now, since we don't solicit for members, how do we do that? You must let people know that you are a Mason and let your life be such a positive example to those around you that every- one will want to be associated with an organization that has men like you as members. Your Friend to Friend program is an excellent way to introduce your friends to Free- masonry. I encourage you to use it. Secondly, each of us should have a goal to make a difference in the life of a child. APPENDIX C 259

With all of the problems out there it is easy for us to think that we can't possibly make a difference. That thought to me is the most frightening of all, for many reasons, not the least of which is that Freemasonry today has the most effective program available for working with children in emotional pain, for healing those crippled little hearts. We and the children must believe that there is a way and that there is someone who can help.

There is a story about a man climbing a mountain. When he was almost to the top and had just positioned his hands to pull himself up the last few feet, his foot slipped and he was hanging on by his fingertips. Thinking that he was going to fall, he yelled out "Is anyone up there," and a voice came back with "Yes, I'm up here." The man said "Can you help me?" and the voice said "Do you believe?" The man said "Who is this?" and the voice said "This is God and I can help you if you believe." The man said "Yes I believe," and the voice said "Do you really believe?" and the man said "Yes I really believe." The voice said . . . "then turn loose." The man looked down and then back up and yelled, "Is anyone else up there?"

We can be that "someone else up there" that our children will believe in so they can turn loose of what is keeping them from reaching their potential and start living a good and productive life. We can be there even when the parents aren't because, sadly enough, sometimes they aren't and then who do the children turn to.

The Freemasons in Ontario are doing great things working with local agencies to combat alcohol and other drug use among youth. Your Foundation has raised over one million dollars to help with these worthy causes. You should be very proud of that and I applaud you for your effort. The Masons in North America are concerned about our children, and, in 1986, the Conference of Grand Masters of North America voted to establish the National Masonic Foundation for Children for the purpose of com- bating drug and alcohol abuse among children. As the current President of that

Foundation, I am pleased that we now have 14 States involved in the "Masonic Model" student assistance program, and 34 Grand Lodges involved with other types of pro- grams and contributing to the Foundation. We would love to bring that program into

Canada. It would fit right in with all the other programs you are doing.

For those who are unfamiliar with the "Masonic Model," let me describe briefly how it works. The brethren who are the Masonic Model trainers, train core teams from all levels of schools, elementary, middle and secondary. The core teams, usually 5—7 educators, are trained to identify, quite simply, who are the children in pain ... the children in other words who have been shown most likely to try alcohol or other drugs

. . . and they are trained in how to then get immediate help to those children.

At the recent Conference of Grand Masters, we invited Mr. Delbert Maroon, who is Superintendent of Schools for a large school system in central Illinois, to address the

Conference so the Grand Masters would get first hand knowledge of how we are im- pacting the school where we are involved with student assistance training. Mr. Maroon said, and I quote, "The Masonic Model Student Assistance Program is the greatest thing that has happened for us. It really was a godsend; for you not to be familiar with 260 APPENDIX C

it, you are really shortchanging yourself and your community. I beg you to go and get the message, get the information. Thanks to you it's working and working well." That is coming from a non-Mason talking about the good that Freemasonry is doing. We not only need that kind of positive public relations, we need that guy in Masonry.

One of the most effective ways of shaping the character and conduct of our children is, of course, by the living example of our own lives ... the only rational way of educating is by example. There is no better example of this than that of Free- masonry. Students are hurting and all of us who are friends of young people must use our best efforts to see that the lives of youth are not infused with influence and impressions that tend to break down manners and morals or glorify violence or loose living, or encourage unwholesome interests. They are not just hurting in school, but at home too. Some students have addictions. Some students live with parents who have addictions of their own. Some students live with parents who are unable or unwilling to furnish the necessities of life - food, clothing, shelter, love. Some students carry the pain of a family structure that is crumbling. Some students are failing school because of circumstances that are not necessarily their fault. What does the "Masonic Model" do in regard to these larger-than-life issues? It deals with them head on in the areas of academics, health, attendance and behaviour. Last year nearly 450 students were identified and referred in Mr. Maroon's school system alone. These young people continue to get daily attention from our program after referral, and all of this is done at a fraction of the cost of sending just one team to a treatment center.

One of our urgent opportunities is to be able to respond to a child when he earn- estly asks. If we respond to children with sincere attention and concern, they will likely continue to come to us. And if they find that they can trust us with trivial questions, they may later trust us with more weighty ones. Our program can make a child who is in doubt believe in himself. A little girl once said, "I must be somebody cause God didn't make no junk."

My brothers, there is no such thing as an unimportant child. There are many who are downhearted, who feel little appreciation, little part, little purpose, little of life's fulfilment . . . many who somehow have come to have a poor opinion of themselves.

Mr. Maroon remembered the words of one little girl who said to him, "I'm nobody special. I'm just a person. I don't mean anything to anyone. I don't even mean much to me."

Children who are made to feel that they are not important, not wanted, not noticed, often shrink within themselves and fail to realize what they could become. One of the most precious and most essential things in all the world is the sense of belong- ing, of being wanted, being useful, having a purpose, having a part, being appreciated.

No one should feel that he matters little to others, or doesn't mean much to himself.

In the plans and providence of God, it simply isn't so. Children, young people, old people all need to know that they are important and appreciated; that they can make their own meaningful contribution to the total. Letting a person think little of himself is a pitiful waste. That is what Masonic Model Training is all about. Seeing attitudes change, especially in the way students perceive themselves. If we could help every child APPENDIX C 261 feel that he belongs, help him realize his potential, with kindness, encouragement, com- passion . . . remembering that there is no such thing as an unimportant person. If they all felt this way, they would be on such an emotional high that they wouldn't need drugs or alcohol. If we could make that happen, we would have no problem answering the question "What Do Masons Do?" We could answer - "Masons Heal Crippled Little Hearts."

The world is made up of many different kinds of children. Big and small, black and white, smart and not so smart, rich and poor, happy and sad, and they all need our help. As I said earlier, we may think that the problem is so large that we can't make a difference, but I think we can. I love the story about the old man who was walking along the beach one early morning and, out in the distance, he saw a young man throwing something into the ocean. He approached the young man and asked him what he was doing. The young man told him that he was throwing starfish back into the ocean. The old man then asked him why he was doing that and the young man said that if he didn't, when the sun came up and the starfish were still on the beach, that they would surely die. The old man said, "Young man, there are miles and miles of beach and there are hundreds of thousands of starfish. What possible difference can you make?" The young man reached down and picked up another starfish and sailed it back into the ocean and, as it landed safely in the water, he turned to the old man and said, "It made a difference to that one."

There are 75,000 Masons in Ontario and, if each of you made a difference in the life of just one child, look what an impact it would have on this great province of yours.

I hope you will accept my challenge. Think of one child that needs your help and promise yourself that you will do something to make a difference in his or her life. Don't necessarily pick the one that you would enjoy being with the most because most often the child who is the hardest to love is the one that needs our help the most. I want to leave you with a prayer that is given every day by a school teacher on the south side of Chicago as she approaches the challenge of educating her students.

A PRAYER FOR CHILDREN

I pray for children who sneak popsicles before supper, who erase and erase until there is a hole in their math workbook, who can ne\-er find their shoes. And I pray for children who stare at photographers from behind barbed wire,

who can 't bound down the street in a new pair of sneakers, who ne\'er "counted potatoes,"

who were bom in places where we wouldn 't be caught dead, who never go to the circus; who live in X-rated worlds.

I pray for children who bring us sticky kisses and fistfuls of dandelions, who hug us in a hurry and forget their lunch money, and we pray for those who never get dessert, who have no safe blanket to drag behind them, who watch their parents watch them die,

who can 't find any bread to steal; who don 't have any rooms to clean up, whose pictures aren't on anybody's dresser; whose monsters are real 262 APPENDIX C

We pray for children who spend all their allowance before Tuesday, who throw tantrums in the grocery store and pick at their food, who like ghost stories; who shove their dirty clothes under the bed and never rinse out the tub, visits who get from the tooth fairy; who don 't like to be kissed in front of the carpool, who squirm in church or temple and scream in the phone,

whose tears we sometimes laugh at and whose smiles can make us cry.

And we pray for those whose nightmares come in the daytime, who will eat anything who have never seen a dentist, who aren't spoiled by anybody, who go to bed hungry and cry themselves to sleep; who live and move, but have no being. We pray for children who want to be carried and for those who must be carried,

for those we never give up on and for those who don 't get a second chance.

We pray for all the children.

God bless you my brothers. Thank you for being a good audience and thank you for what you are doing for the children. THE DEPUTY GRAND MASTER THANKS THE GUEST SPEAKER:

M.W. the Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Baugher, Distinguished Head Table Guests, Rev. Sirs and my Brethren:

Bro. Baugher, it is a pleasure and an honour for me to thank you for that lovely Address this evening, especially when you come from the jurisdiction that was involved in the Installation of our first Grand Master some 140 years ago. You know, the applause of the brethren can show their appreciation much more than any words that I have to offer. I agree with your concern about the young people of today and, brethren, if we are trying to interest young people in Masonry we must learn from the mothers. They have more influence over the boys than any father ever had, and if we can convince them that they have two choices - the Lodge Room or the Pool Room - I think that the mothers would be our best salesmen.

M.W. Sir, we thank you. INDEX TO PROCEEDINGS - 1995
