  • Royal Order of Scotland
    A History of The Royal Order of Scotland Taken From: “ High-Ways and Bi-Ways of Freemasonry” 1924 MOST of the authentic information regarding the establishment and history of this ancient and distinguished Order has been collected by those indefatigable Masonic historians, Brothers Hughan, Gould and Murray Lyon, and, during the year 1910, the various facts available were collated and put together in a very readable form by Brother E. Fox Thomas, the Provincial Grand Master of the Order for Yorkshire, in the pages of the Freemason. The fact that, as regards authentic documentary records, the Royal Order of Scotland can claim seniority over every other Masonic system - the Craft only excepted - is alone sufficient to invest it with the highest degree of interest, but, as a matter of fact, its antiquity is only one of its many claims to our respect and veneration. At one time it was considered right to ascribe a French origin to the Royal Order, but now the accepted opinion is that it is essentially British. On any other assumption it would be difficult to account for the Ritual which is in a rough but attractive doggere verse, undoubtedly early even if here and there it betrays signs of more recent modification. The Legends and all their associations are purely Scottish, but curiously the earliest authentic records have to do with England not Scotland, and the Ritual contains but little indication of any Scottish dialect. There are two degrees: I. Brother of Herridom (H:.R:.D:.M:.) II. Knight of the Rosey Cross (R:.S:.Y:.C:.S:.) The former is conferred in a chapter of H:.R:.D:.M:.

    GRAND LODGE OF MASONS IN MASSACH USETTS SUMMER 2017 Your Lodge: Where it all Begins 50 Year Veterans From the East of Grand Lodge PAUL F. GLEASON Brethren, As I write this, we are in the midst of a classic July heat wave. We have had a busy summer; now is the time the Board of Directors, business office and I complete the important work of budgeting for the new Masonic year. Preparing our Grand Lodge for what’s to come has shown me one thing: it is imperative that we all plan for the road ahead, together. I offer a few suggestions for your own planning: • Conduct an early planning meeting. Getting your members and officers together for a barbeque is a really enjoyable way to do this! • Inspire everyone to come up with new attractions for the statewide Open House (October 21 – but you knew that already, right?) • Plan on receiving the Grand Master’s Award. Put your thoughts on paper and send them to your District Deputy as soon as possible. • Participate in public ceremonies and events in your city or town. Parades, farmer’s markets, town festival days, and fundraisers are all examples of opportunities to get the Square and Compasses out in front of everyone! • Publish your activities online and in the news every month. This is a great job for someone in your lodge to take on if no one does it already. It never hurts to take a picture and send an event write up to your local news outlet for a little publicity! Beyond that, there are also two outstanding programs I’d like to encourage those of you with the time to participate in.
