Shriners International describes itself as a fraternity based on fun, communion and Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. There are about 350,000 members from 196 temples (chapters) in the US, Canada, Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, Europe and Australia. The organization is best known for Shriners Hospital for Children that it manages, and the red fezzes that members wear. Previously, the organization was known as the Shriners of North America. The name was changed in 2010 across North America, Central America, Europe and Southeast Asia. History In 1870 in Manhattan there were several thousand Freemasons, many of whom dined at Knickerbocker Cottage at a special table on the second floor. There discussed the idea of a new fraternity for Freemasons, emphasizing fun and communication. Walter M. Fleming and William Florence took the idea seriously enough to act on it. William Florence Florence, a world-renowned actor, was invited to a party by an Arab diplomat while touring Marseille. Entertainment was something in the nature of carefully staged musical comedy. At its end, the guests became members of the secret society. Florence took copious notes and drawings on its initial viewing and on two other occasions, once in Algeria and once in Cairo. When he returned to New York in 1870, he showed his material to Fleming. Walter Millard Fleming created a ritual, emblem and costumes. Florence and Fleming were started on August 13, 1870, and they initiated 11 other men on June 16, 1871. The group adopted the Middle East theme and soon founded Temples (although the term Temple has now generally been replaced by the Shrine Auditorium or Shrine Center). The first temple was the Temple of Mecca (now known as the Shriners Mecca), created in New York's Masonic Hall on September 26, 1872. Fleming was the first Potentate. In 1875, the organization had only 43 shrines. In an attempt to encourage membership, at the June 6, 1876 meeting of the Mecca Temple, the Imperial Grand Council of the Ancient Order of nobles of a mystical temple for North America was established. Fleming was elected the first imperial potentate. After some other rework by 1878, 13 temples in eight states had 425 members, and by 1888, 48 temples in the United States and Canada had 7,210 members. By the Imperial Session held in Washington, D.C., in 1900, there were 55,000 members and 82 temples. By 1938, the United States had about 340,000 members. In the same year, Life published photos of its rites for the first time. He described Shriners as among the no.1's secret lodges in prestige, wealth and shows, and said that in a typical city, especially in the Midwest, Shriners would include most prominent citizens. Shriners often participate in local parades, sometimes as rather complex units: miniature vehicles in themes (all sports cars; all miniature 18-wheeled trucks; all fire engines, and so on), an Eastern group dressed in cartoonish versions of a Middle Eastern dress; trumpet bands, drummers, motorcycles, Drum and Bugle Corps, and even traditional brass bands. Membership Until 2000, before being eligible for membership in the sanctuary, Mason had to complete either the Scottish Rite or York Rite system, but now any Master Mason can join. In the past Practiced hazing rituals as part of the initiation of new members: in 1991, maybe Shriner sued the temple of the Temple of Oleika Sanctuary of Lexington, Kentucky for injuries sustained during hazing, which included being blindfolded and with a jolt of electricity applied to his bare buttocks. Neil's auxiliary female daughters at Shriners Children's Hospital, Canada, Montreal in 1948. There are two organizations associated with the shrine that are only for women: the Oriental Temple of the Ladies and Daughters of the Nile. They both support Shriners Hospitals and promote sociability, and membership in any organization is open to any woman 18 years and older who is associated with Shriner or Master Mason by birth or marriage. The Ladies' Oriental Shrine of North America was founded in 1903 in Wheeling, West Virginia, and the Daughters of the Nile was founded in 1913 in Seattle, Washington. The last organization has local branches called Temples, and there were ten in 1922. Among the famous members of The Daughter of Neil was first lady Florence Harding, wife of Warren G. Harding. Architecture Some of the earliest centers of the sanctuary often chose the Moorish style of the Renaissance for their temples. Shriners' architecturally notable temples include the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the former Temple of Mecca, which is now called the New York Center and is used mainly as a concert hall, the Newark Symphony Hall, the Landmark Theatre (formerly the Mosque) in Richmond, Va., the Tripoli Shrine In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Polly Rosenbaum Building (formerly the Temple of El-Sariba) in Phoenix, the Abu Ben Adham Shrine Mosque in Springfield, Missouri. , Georgia), which was co-built between the Atlanta Shriners and movie mogul William Fox. Shriners Hospitals for Children Home article: Shriners Hospital for Children Charity Hand Shrine is Shriners Hospital for Children, a network of 22 medical facilities in the United States, Mexico and Canada. In June 1920, the Imperial Council voted to establish a Hospital for Mutilated Children. The purpose of this hospital was to treat orthopedic injuries and conditions, diseases, burns, spinal cord injuries and birth defects, such as cleft lip and palate, in children. After many studies and debates, the committee decided to determine the location of the hospital, deciding that there should be a network of hospitals across North America. The first hospital opened in 1922 in Shreveport, Louisiana. By the end of the decade, 13 more hospitals had been put into operation. Shriners Hospitals currently provide orthopedic care, burns treatment, cleft lip and palate and rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries. The rules for all Shriners hospitals are simple and to the point: a child under the age of 18 may be hospitalized if, according to doctors, the child can be treated. There is no requirement for religion, race, or relationship with Shriker. Until June 2012, all assistance at Shriners Hospitals was provided free of charge to patients and their families. At a time when their endowment size had declined due to stock market losses, Shriners Hospitals began billing patient insurance companies, but still offered free childcare without insurance and waived all out-of-pocket insurance costs not covered. Shriners Hospitals for Children is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, meaning that they rely on the generosity of donors to cover the cost of treatment for their patients. In 2008, shriners had a total budget of $826 million. In 2007, they approved 39,454 new patient applications, and participated in the needs of 125,125 patients. Hospitals for Shriners Children can be found in these cities: M. A. Chicago, Illinois Cincinnati, OH Erie, PAS Galveston, Texas Greenville, SC Honolulu, HI Houston, Texas Lexington, KY' Mexico City, MEX Minneapolis, MN Montreal, quebec Pasadena, CA Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Portland, or Sacramento, California Salt Lake City, UT Shreveport, L. Spokane, Washington Springfield, Washington Springfield , most shrines support several ceremonial units. These units are responsible for promoting Shriner's positive image to the public by participating in local parades. Parade units often include miniature cars powered by lawnmower engines. St. Louis Shriner in a miniature race car, stopping to greet children along the route of the Pride Pride Parade unit of the Heart Shrine Clubs' Original Fire Patrol effingham, Illinois. This unit operates miniature fire engines, perpetuating a fire at a hospital that occurred in the 1940s in Effingham. They participate in most parades within a 100-mile radius of Effingham. Shriners in Dallas, Texas participate annually in the Twilight Parade at the Texas State Fair.

  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

Hall PUBLISHER'S FOREWORD The steady demand and increasing popularity of this volume, of which eighteen thousand copies have been printed since it first appeared a few years ago, have brought the present revised and rearranged edition into being. The text can be read with profit by both new and old Mason, for within its pages lies an interpretation of Masonic symbolism which supplements the monitorial instruction usually given in the lodges. The leading Masonic scholars of all times have agreed that the symbols of the Fraternity are susceptible of the most profound interpretation and thus reveal to the truly initiated certain secrets concerning the spiritual realities of life. Freemasonry is therefore more than a mere social organization a few centuries old, and can be regarded as a perpetuation of the philosophical mysteries and initiations of the ancients. This is in keeping with the inner tradition of the Craft, a heritage from pre-Revival days.

  • What We May Have Forgotten About Royal Arch Masonry
    What we may have forgotten about Royal Arch Masonry In a recent Inaugural address for a Past Principals Chapter an M.E.Z. dealt with the question of how the Royal Arch could be said to complete the Craft 3rd Degree. During his talk he drew attention to some of the anomalies that must strike the attention of any regularly attending Royal Arch Companion but since the main thrust of his paper was towards his chosen topic he very wisely left aside any further comment on these matters and any similar ones. I and others were delighted, however, to have these issues brought to our attention and though I am sure that most, if not all, present will have been instructed in these matters on some occasion in the past I wonder how many of us could have at once delivered up the answers to these queries or whether it was a case of recognizing “what we may have forgotten about the Royal Arch”? Since I believe that answers to these apparent anomalies increase our better appreciation of this Order, and are useful to have in case new Companions quiz us as ‘seniors’, I dare to offer some answers to the questions he posed. First, however, let me repeat what it was that this M.E.Z. drew to our attention and then add a few more similar queries of my own. a) Why is the candidate not admitted with the 3rd degree knocks? b) Why is there different regalia? c) Why are we called Companions? d) Why are the Craft and Chapter governed separately? e) Why at one time were only Installed Masters admitted? and where the M.E.Z.
