PRESENTATION OF THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Grand Master Hensiak asked the Junior Grand Deacon to retire and admit the color guard. The Right Eminent Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of the Knights Templar in the state of Wisconsin presented the flag of the United States of America. The assembly was asked to join in the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, after which the first stanza of the Star Spangled Banner was sung. Grand Master Hensiak declared the 173rd Annual Communication, Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin opened in ample form. Organist Jim Stoebe, and sound crew Pat Militzer and Curt Campagna were recognized and thanked with a round of applause from the assembly. At this time Grand Master Hensiak declared the Lodge informal and asked the Junior Grand Deacon to retire and escort the State Master Councilor for the Order of DeMolay, and the Grand Bethel Honored Queen of Job’s Daughters to the east for their remarks. Casey Ferguson, State Master Councilor for DeMolay was introduced for remarks. “Most Worshipful Grand Master, Grand Lodge Officers and Distinguished Guests, thank you for having me here, and allowing us to set up a booth right outside. My name is Casey Ferguson, and I am the State Master Councilor for Wisconsin De- 7 Molay. I would like to show you a short presentation in a video form. At this time a promotional video was shown to the assembly. The short video presentation that you just saw, is a shining example of what DeMolay, this youth organization can really do. The Order of DeMolay takes pride in the skills that we produce and help boys accumulate. Millions of young men have dedicated themselves to the ideals that our Fraternity professes and it improves their life while enjoying their time. As the video explains, our young men have pledged to these seven cardinal virtues: filial love, rev- erence for sacred things, courtesy, comradeship, fidelity, cleanliness and patriotism. By following these seven qualities, a young man can be become a leader in anything he chooses to pursue. It’s so important to have organizations such as DeMolay and Masonry. As much as DeMolays can improve everyone around them, and as much as Wisconsin DeMolay helps the young men who are a part of it, we wouldn’t exist without gentlemen like you. The advisors are the lifeblood of this Fraternity. I’d like to try an experiment. Would all those current and past Grand Lodge Officers who are Senior DeMolays please rise. The amount of Masonic leaders that have come from DeMolay should speak for itself. DeMolay raises young men that become Masons tomorrow. We thank everyone that is involved in DeMolay, but we wish there were more of you. There are 10,000 Masons within the state, and less than 100 of them are advisors for DeMolay. That’s less than 1% of our advisors. We don’t come here asking for funding, we come here asking for your time and your knowledge. It is the most valuable thing. DeMolay is a Masonic youth group, yet we are forced to look outside of Masonry to find advisors. I would like that to change. More exposure for Masonic faces and groups would give the DeMolays the enthusiasm and desire to become a Mason in the future.

  • The Rise and Progress of Freemasonry in Illinois, 1783-1952
    LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN 366.1 T34r I.H.S. THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF FREEMASONRY IN ILLINOIS 1783-1952 By EVERETT R. TURNBULL Past Master, Mt. Nebo Lodge, No. 76 1952 The Most Worshipful Chanel Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Ilhnois COPYRIGHT 1952 THE MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND LODGE OF ANCIENT FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS Printed in the United States of America by Pantagraph Printing and Stationery Co. FURTHER LIGHT Hale, brothers of the Rule and Line, who work by Truth and Honor's laws; Still striving toward the Light divine, the dayspring of our righteous cause. The cause our ancient seers upbore, in lonely lands through darkest night; Still keeping in their mystic Lore, the prophecy of "Further Light." And further light spread Truth and Love, 'till now the world begins to know The Fatherhood of God, above, the Brotherhood of Man, below. And we, who caught their thought in part — how oft we met, in former time To search for truths their "Royal Art," had woven in the "work" sublime. And oft within the dimmest lore, of ancient writ, we sought and found Some Jewel from their secret store — concealed of old in Holy ground; Concealed for those who sought aright, as that Foundation Stone of yore, "First seen in Heaven" by Holy Light, then centre of the Master's floor. And oft we met in concourse glad, and hail our chosen rulers all. And oft with spirits O how sad, to hear for some the funeral pall, And oft must be, 'till all go, and none shall know that we were here, For what is lost on earth below, is treasured in that higher sphere.

Our members have exemplified what it means to be dutiful to country, dedicated to service, and devoted to charity. I am so proud of the work our Lodge has achieved over this past year serving our community. This year we surpassed $100,000 in our total contributions to Toys for Tots; our work with Simon Says Give contributed to the distribution of over 8,000 backpacks filled with sup- plies to ensure kids are ready for the start of school; we participated in meal packing events for Feed My Starving Children; we continued Study Session our contributions as a leading sponsor for the Wounded Warrior Project in Minnesota; we provided scholarships to new and current col- lege students; and we continued to partner with Bancroft School on our Books for Bikes program.

  • Seng Wei Was Indoctrinated in the Electronic Dance Music Scene Whilst Still a Student in University in L.A
    Bio: Seng Wei was indoctrinated in the electronic dance music scene whilst still a student in university in L.A. Since graduating and returning to Singapore in late 2003, he started DJing as a hobby. Gradually, Seng Wei's devotion and passion for the electronic music scene escalated into something more as he gained experience playing out at clubs and various outdoor events. He bought his first proper dance compilation back in 99’- Clubber’s guide to Trance by ATB, which was an influential moment that saw Seng Wei branch out and start to discover other styles of dance music such as House. Seng Wei's style is deep, funky and progressive house with an infusion of tech and organic elements. Although his musical tastes are always changing; he presently is playing a lot more of the nu-disco and deep tech house sound with a touch of electro thrown in there for good measure, which is diversified and incorporated into his sets. He transcends any boundaries between the different genres of music, and really knows how to move the floor. As a DJ, he draws influences from all types of music from jazz and classical, to rock and electro and combines these different elements into his set. He believes that since music seems to be evolving all the time, the oxymoron of the new/old music (The retro/electro music of the 70s and 80s, along with the revival of jazz and classical music) is especially evident in the 21st century today and will continue to have an effect on the ever changing dance music scene in the years to come.

  • The Grand Lodge of Manitoba by James A
    THE GRAND LODGE OF MANITOBA BY JAMES A. OV AS, 33° P. G. M ., and Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba. HE first Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted T Ma£ons to organize in what is now the Province of Manitoba, was by authority of M.W. Bro. A. T . C. Pierson, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Minne­ sota, under a dispensation dated the thirteenth day of September, 1863, coming by way of Pembina, Dakota Territory, to Fort 9-arry (now Winnipeg), in what was then known as the Red River Settlement. In his address to the Grand Lodge of Minnesota, at the eleventh Annual Communication, held at the City of St. Paul, on the twenty-seventh day of October, 1863, M. W. Bro. Pierson, Grand Master, says: "About the middle of last month I received an application signed by W. Bros. C. W. Nash, J. L. Armington, A. T. Chamblin, Charles H. Mix, and eight others, who were en route for Pembina, Dakota Territory, for a Dispensation authorizing them to open and work a Lodge. Pembina is the most northern point in the territory of the United States, a great central point where concentrates a large amount of emigration, and of travel between the two oceans. The want of a Lodge at that place has been long felt and often expressed; and as the brethren named were active, ~ell-informed and discreet Masons, the first two former Masters, and the latter Wardens of Lodges within this jurisdiction-and as they expected to remain in that region for at least two years, I granted a Dispensation to establish a Lodge at Pembina.

The original compilation of information, now greatly expanded, was offset printed and bound into gold colored, three-ring binders. Hence the name The Golden Book. Though some of the information became dated the book, because of limited printing and the then significant costs of reproduction, took on a value similar to the precious metal of its title. Those fortunate Brothers who possessed a copy guarded it dearly and tended to take it with them to the grave. Consequently, and ironically considering the title, the book took on a mystery akin to the Lost Dutchman Mine.
