  • Freemasons and Freemasonry in Queensland: 1859-1989 by Dave Lauder to the Historian, Fact Must Precede Inference and Opinion
    33 Freemasons and Freemasonry in Queensland: 1859-1989 by Dave Lauder To the historian, fact must precede inference and opinion. In reading historical works of Queensland, the author has often noted incorrect statements and omissions about the Masonic ranks and details of the men who are the subject of this paper. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to provide a concise document outlining the history, structure and, more importantly, the people who have led Freemasonry in Queensland from 1859 untU the present. It is not without a feeling of deja-vu, that on reading a recent paper (Biskup, 1988) in this Journal, that the names of Sir Arthur Morgan, J.F.G. Foxton, John Oxley, WUUam Jolly and Sir Leslie WUson aU appeared — and all are instantly recognisable to a Masonic historian as Freemasons. Whilst a lot of detail covered in this paper is available in Richards (1959), that work is scanty on detail of Scottish Freemasonry, as the relevant records were missing at the time of Richards' compUation. Irish and EngUsh Freemasomy in Queensland have been well documented in Harley (c.l930) and Fowles and White (1909) respectively. Freemasonry may be simply described as a fraternal association of men, based on the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. Membership in Australia is open to all men who profess a belief in a Supreme Being and are of good character. Contrary to a popular urban myth, and on the basis of the above definition, the association is not anti-Catholic. However, the existence of atheist forms of Freemasonry in Europe provoked the hostility of the Roman Catholic Church from 1738.

  • 1900 Bee Article
    Substantial Growth of Nebraska Masonry (an article by Charles S Lobingier/reprinted from The Omaha Bee, 1900) This day is an historic one in the annals of Masonry. Exactly 183 years ago the Grand Lodge of England was formed. On June 24th, 1717, designated by the annalists as “the high noon of the year, the day of light and of roses,” the four Masonic lodges of London established the body which there-after became the mother grand lodge of the world. Of course, this was not the beginning of Freemasonry. It merely marked the introduction of a new phase – the tendency toward complete organization and closer structural union – while Masonic lodges and the institutions of Masonry had then already existed for centuries. Compared with these chapters in its history, Masonry in Nebraska is young. But, then, Nebraska is a young commonwealth and Masonry within its borders is practically as old as any phase of civilization. Coincident with the very first step toward the formation of civil government in what is now Nebraska was the movement for the organization of its first Masonic lodge. In the fall of 1854, the very time when Francis Burt, the first governor, arrived in the territory, the grand lodge of Illinois granted a dispensation to constitute Nebraska lodge No. 184, afterward No. 1 of Nebraska at Bellevue. This lodge was fully organized by the following April and among the members received during t1855 was Peter A Sarpy, the pioneer fur trader, whose relation to Nebraska history is almost like that of Daniel Boone to Kentucky.

  • The American Doctrine: a Concept Under Siege Stewart W
    The American Doctrine: A Concept Under Siege Stewart W. Miner Virginia Research Lodge No. 1777 March 21, 1992 Setting the Stage I have been interested for many years in the way and manner that Grand Lodges exercise jurisdictional power. By custom, practice, and law Grand Masters and Grand Lodges have in the past assumed, allocated, and implemented almost unlimited authority to the end that Masonic organization and operation has taken on near-monopolistic, if not near- oligarchic, characteristics. Seemingly, moreover, the resultant unique system has been subject, for the most part, to only minimal and periodic challenge. In consequence Grand Lodges have become powers within themselves, answerable on occasion to the membership, but free, by and large, to rigidly control and protect their interests within the confines of proclaimed jurisdictional limits. In furthering this conception of power it has been a common practice for Grand Lodges to declare sovereign authority over all Masons and all lodges within their purview, and in some instances even to claim exclusive Masonic jurisdiction over every male — Mason or not — within their domain. These efforts, in short, while protecting parochial interests, have been undeniably restrictive. In the past quarter-century, however, serious challenges to the authority of Grand Lodges have been launched by individual Masons, by some highly placed leaders in the appendant and coordinate bodies, and by many who themselves lead or have led Grand Lodges. These challenges have caused the initiation of efforts to review Masonic laws and customs, particularly as they pertain to the concept of exclusive territorial jurisdiction — the so-called American Doctrine — in several jurisdictions.

OF EGYPT, ETC VOLUME SIX PUBLISHED BY THE MASONIC HISTORY COMPANY NEW YORK AND LONDON CHAPTER LV HISTORY OF THE INTRODUCTION OF FREEMASONRY INTO EACH STATE AND TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES The First Lodges and the Grand Lodges (Continued). Ohio. HE introduction of Masonry into Ohio is due to the fact that soon after the close of the War of the Revolution, the Master, Jonathan Heart, and some of the members of American Union Lodge settled near Marietta. The Charter of that lodge, which had been granted by the St. John's Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, February 15, 1776, by John Rowe, Grand Master (in the Connecticut Line of the Army),1 was held by the Master, and he claimed that it was a lodge at large and not under the jurisdiction of any Grand Lodge, and in fact "it was invested with every power necessary to constitute, rule, and govern" Masonry in the Territories. It had been recognized "by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New York, as a constituent of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts." This lodge worked for several years until its Charter was burned; a revival of it was asked for from the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, which was declined, "except as one of its constituent." Application to the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts was made, which authorized the lodge to resume work under a copy of the original Charter, "with the express provision that the charter should be of force only until a Grand Lodge should be formed in the territory in which it was located." The Grand Lodge of Ohio was organized January 7, 1808.
