Greetings Brethren! I hope everyone is enjoying this unseasonably hot Spring. I am excited to be sitting in the East this year with such an exceptional Officer Line. We are all looking forward to another great year at Cataract Lodge. If it has been a while since you have stopped by, please con- sider joining us for supper and Lodge this Summer. On July 11, Cataract will host the annual joint meeting with Minnehaha Lodge #165. Grab your Hawaiian shirt and come join us for delcious BBQ and great fellowship. We would love to see you there. Since our first meeting in the parlor room of Ard Godfrey’s house 165 years ago, Cataract Lodge has been a leading example of Freema- sonry in Minnesota. 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.

  • 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.

  • The Landmarks of Freemasonry
    THE L,ANDMARKS OF FREEMASONRY By CHARLES CLYDE HUNT Grand Secretary GRAND LODGE OF lOW A, A. F. & A. M. Printed by LAURANCE PRESS COMPANY CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA 1943 • Price SOc per Copy CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY I once visited an optician to have my eyes tested for a new pair of eye glasses. I offered hiln the glasses I was then wearing as a guide, but he declined, saying, "I will look at them later. I prefer to make an independent exam­ ination first." I have thought of that remark many times since when I have found myself being led astray by relying on the work of other students instead of making an independent investigation. Such is the case with the subject of the present paper. I have made statements on the subject, based on the writings of other students, which I now, believe, after making an independent investigation, to have been errone­ ous. In making such an investigation we should first consider the meaning of the term "land­ Inark" independent of its connection with Free­ masonry, and then consider its Masonic applica­ tion. The best source of information about the -meaning of words is to be found in the' una- 3 - -~ -.:-- --_ .. --. ::~ THE LANDMARKS OF FREEMASONRY bridged dictionaries, and I have therefore con­ . suIted the four best known and recognized Eng­ lish authorities as to the meaning of the word "landmar k."
