GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS

To the Officers and Members of the Most Worshipful the Grand LxDdge

AF. & AM. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

My Brethren:

This Annual Communication marks the end of my first year in the

office of Grand Master. It has been a year of great pleasure for mebecause, in my travels around the Province, I have had the opportunity to

renew many congenial relationships and to make many new friends. I stand

before you today to present this annual Address, not only as your GrandMaster, but also as a Brother Mason with a heart that is full of memories.

The Address of the Grand Master is a useful custom. It fulfils three

purposes. First, it provides a retrospect of the past; secondly, it places the

present in perspective and thirdly, it casts a glance into the future and

boldly attempts to predict what might happen. Before doing all this,

however, I wish to welcome our guests, both those from sister jurisdictions

and the representatives from associated bodies. I welcome you all with

great cordiahty to our 135th Annual Communication.

NECROLOGY

It is with profound regret that I must record the loss of several officers

of Grand Lx)dge. Our earnest prayer is that those whom we remember will

be richly rewarded in the Grand Lodge Above for their good works and

for their praiseworthy lives. We remember them with reverence, with

gratitude and with deep brotherly love.

M.W. Bro. William Lockridge Wright

Our Grand Jurisdiction suffered a grievous loss in the passing of TheMost Reverend William Lockridge Wright, D.D, D.C.L., LL.D., on January

19, 1990. In 1941 he was chosen Rector of St. Luke's Pro-Cathedral in

Sault Ste. Marie and three years later was elected by the Synod of Algomaas Bishop of the Diocese. In 1955 he was elected Metropolitan of the

Province and was enthroned as Archbishop in St. Lukes Cathedral, Sault

Ste. Marie. A Memorial Service was held in St. Lukes Cathedral on

Tuesday, January 23, 1990. Your Grand Master and the Grand Secretary

were in attendance to represent Grand Lodge.

Page 34: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

26 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

He was a tireless worker in community and church affairs. Heendeavoured to foster goodwill and amity between peoples of differing

faiths and nationalities and travelled widely on behalf of the World Council

of Churches. He served his community by his participation in many civic

organizations. He was a Director of the United Way and, as a measure of

his stature among all people, he was made an honorary member of the

Knights of Columbus.

His illustrious Masonic career began when he was initiated into TweedLodge No. 239. On moving to Sault Ste. Marie, he joined Hatherly Lodge

No. 625, becoming its Worshipful Master. He served as Grand Chaplain

in 1947. In 1948 he was appointed to the Board of General Purposes and

was elected in 1952. He was elected Deputy Grand Master in 1953 and was

installed as Grand Master in 1955. He brought great distinction to that

office.

He was active in many other branches of Masonry: Thrice Puissant

Grand Master of the Lodge of Perfection and Most Wise Sovereign of the

Chapter of Rose Croix in Sault Ste. Marie. He was coroneted an

Honourary Inspector-General, 33°, of the Supreme Council of the Ancient

and Accepted Scottish Rite in 1953 and was crowned an Active Memberin 1958. He served as Grand Prior for several years.

William Lockridge Wright was a man of ready wit and jolly humour,

who brought a special dignity to Masonry in this jurisdiction. One of his

greatest qualities was his ability and willingness to listen to others and

provide kindly straightforward advice. He was a tower of strength to any

association that he joined. In Masonry he was loved by all who knew him.

His graciousness and compassion will never be forgotten and the shadowof his presence will always be with us.

R.W. Bro. Clark Harrington Chater

He was an active and much loved member of St. Thomas District.

Initiated in St. David's Lodge No. 302 in 1945, he became its Worshipful

Master on June 24, 1963. At the 1989 Annual Communication, the

members of St. Thomas District elected him the District Deputy GrandMaster. He served them well in that capacity until his untimely death onApril 6, 1990. He will be sorely missed by all members of his district and

by his many friends throughout our jurisdiction.

Page 35: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 27

R.W. Bro. Thomas Llewellyn Wilson

Bro. Wilson was initiated into Lebanon Lodge No. 139 in 1923 and

became its Worshipful Master on January 9, 1957. He was elected to the

office of Grand Junior Warden at the Annual Communication of 1962.

Our brother is best remembered for his contribution to Masonry in the

sphere of public relations. For many years he was active in arranging goodpress coverage for Masonry. He worked with the media to ensure that

reports of Masonic activities were correctly recorded. He was an HonoraryMember of the Board of General Purposes from 1970 until 1989. Hepassed to the Grand Lodge Above on April 30, 1990, and will be

remembered by the many friends whom he made during his active career

as a newspaperman.

V.W. Bro. Bruno Zanella

Bro. Zanella began his Masonic career in Dufferin Lodge No. 570 onJanuary 27, 1959. He served the lodge as Worshipful Master for two years

in 1971 and 1972.

Bro. Zanella was appointed to the office of Grand Junior Deacon at

the 1989 Annual Communication. He served his lodge and district capably

and with dedication. He was a keen Mason, a regular attender at Masonicmeetings, a fine gentleman and a great Mason. He will be missed by all

who knew him. It is sad to record that his career in Masonry was cut short

so tragically by a car accident on October 14, 1989.

And so we mourn the loss of these and many other fine Masons. Withthe passing of each, we lose a little of our history. We who are left have

to make up for that loss by doing our share to preserve the spirit of the

past. Let us make sure we have the strength to continue that heritage.

APPRECIATIONS

The office of Grand Master entails many duties and accompanying

responsibilities. It would be a heavy burden if it were not for the excellent

co-operation and kindness extended by many individuals. As in a lodge,

one turns to the Past Masters for advice, so I turn to the Past GrandMasters for wisdom and statesmanship. From time to time their advice has

brought difficult matters into perspective, thereby lightening the load of

leadership. My thanks are offered to all members of the Board of General

Page 36: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

28 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Purposes for their generous and ungrudging support. Continuity of action

must be developed within our jurisdiction to enable it to move forward at

a steady pace along a known path. To this end, I have cultivated a close

relationship between myself and the Deputy Grand Master. He has been

made aware of the more serious decisions, in order to acquaint him with

what is actually happening in our jurisdiction, so that he will develop a

depth of background knowledge upon which to draw in the future. I thank

him for his co-operation and for his belief in the concept of continuity.

My sincere thanks are extended to the Grand Secretary for his

assistance. He has been most helpful and your Grand Master has benefitted

from his enormous store of knowledge concerning precedents to follow. Hehas not interjected his own ideas, but has simply provided relevant

information upon which the Grand Master could make a reasonable

decision. For all his help and support, I am deeply grateful.

A Special Committee was commissioned in September, 1989, by the

Grand Master in response to a recommendation of the Board of General

Purposes. This committee reviewed the merits of certain requests put

before the Board by Heritage Lodge No. 730. The main submission by

Heritage Lx)dge No. 730 was that it should be recognized as a Research

Lodge and therefore not required to initiate candidates. Other requests

were discussed and the committee made a full report to the Board in

January, 1990. At that meeting the Constitution and Jurisprudence

Committee was instructed to prepare the necessary Notice of Motion by

April 1, 1990, to reflect the decision of the Board.

The Special Committee has been discharged. Our thanks are extended

to its Chairman, R.W. Bro. A. Edgar Dyer, and its members for their work

and efforts to resolve a somewhat emotional and difficult issue.

In the course of a move from Acton to Georgetown by Walker Lodge

No. 321, some of its beautiful furniture was not able to be used in their

new premises. The officers and members of Walker Lodge have generously

made this furniture available to your Grand Lodge. In the past, your GrandLodge has always had to make arrangements to acquire the furniture used

at the hotel. Now, as a result of the kindness of the officers and membersof Walker Lodge and especially R.W. Bro. Ray Thompson, Grand Lodge

has, at last, its own furniture, some of which is being used here today for

the first time. We extend our thanks to the brethren of Walker Lodge No.

321.

Page 37: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 29

Masonry is not just a club for men, but is for men and their families.

Wives and families must be brought into the magical circle of Masonry to

share in the same enjoyment experienced by the Mason. On a personal

note, I extend thanks to my wife for her patience and understanding. She

has remained at my side through the sad times as well as the good. She

is a major part of my Masonic life and I thank her for her support.

Several members of the Board of General Purposes have decided to

withdraw from active participation in the affairs of Grand Lodge. Although

we cannot complain about their decisions, they will be sorely missed from

the councils of Grand Lodge. Fortunately, however, their talents and

dedication will not be lost to Masonry, because they will be concentrating

their efforts in their own local areas. We offer our good wishes, therefore,

to the following members for their many years of service to the Craft:

R.W. Bros. Gerald E. MacDonald (Ottawa), Joel C. Piper (Salford),

George G. Wilkes (Hamilton), A. Dennis Mortson (Englehart) and Jack

Pos (Guelph).

SPECIAL MENTION

R.W. Bro. Morley John Kinnee was initiated on July 31, 1928, in

Vaughan Lodge No. 54 and became its Worshipful Master in December,

1936. He was elected Grand Senior Warden at the Annual Communication

in 1940. As he celebrates fifty years of active service as a Past GrandSenior Warden, our congratulations are offered to him on this special

anniversary. Also, we extend our best wishes for many more years of happy

Masonic life.

The election of M.W. Bro. Eric W. Nancekivell as President of TheMasonic Relief Association of the U.S.A. and Canada is a source of

happiness to our Grand Lodge. In addition, R.W. Bro. Wayne E. Elgie and

V.W. Bro. Reg. A. Medhurst were elected members of the Executive

Committee of that Association. It is certain that the efforts of these

members will bring honour to our jurisdiction.

One of our Past Grand Masters, M.W. Bro. N. R. Richards, received

a singular and unusual honour. In the Fall of 1989, one of the buildings

at the University of Guelph was named the N. R. Richards Building. Bro.

Richards' career with the University and the Agricultural College has been

a long and distinguished one and he fully deserves the honour.

Page 38: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

30 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

APPOINTMENTS

I was happy to be able to respond to an application from ConnaughtLodge No. 511 by appointing W. Bro. Robert Crawford Arthur as a GrandSteward, effective December 21, 1989. A sudden and disastrous turn in his

health necessitated speed in giving this recognition of service to Bro.

Arthur. Accordingly, a certificate was sent to the District Deputy GrandMaster for presentation on behalf of Grand Lodge. I thank R.W. Bro. Paul

E. Werk for attending at the hospital to perform this ceremony in the

presence of the Grand Registrar, several members of Connaught Lodgeand Mrs. Arthur. Sadly, he passed to the Grand Lodge Above on January

20, 1990. He had been initiated in Connaught Lodge No. 511 on October

25, 1948, and became Worshipful Master in 1959. I request approval of

this appointment and Past Rank for V.W. Bro. Arthur.

PAST RANK

R.W. Bro. C. Harrington Chater of St. Thomas District died suddenly

on April 6, 1990. He had been unable, therefore, to fulfil his full term as

District Deputy Grand Master. I recommend that he be granted Past Rankposthumously. Our thanks are extended to R.W. Bro. David Wilson whocompleted Bro. Chater's term of office.

R.W. Bro. Alexander Grant, who had been elected Grand Senior

Warden in July of 1988, passed to the Grand Lodge Above on October 17,

1988. He had performed his duties conscientiously and I recommend that

he be granted Past Rank posthumously. After the death of R.W. Bro.

Grant, R.W. Bro. John M. Boersma was appointed to complete the term

of office of Grand Senior Warden. He discharged his duties with energy

and devotion and I recommend that he be granted the rank of Past GrandSenior Warden.

V.W. Bro. Bruno Zanella died as a result of a car accident on October

14, 1989. He was a devoted servant of Masonry and I recommend that he

be granted the rank of Past Grand Junior Deacon posthumously.

The following brethren were unable to meet the full requirements of

the Constitution relative to Past Rank. Though they served partial terms

in the office of Worshipful Master, yet they served with honour to the

Craft. I recommend, therefore, that Past Rank be granted to:

W. Bro. C. Bratton, Wilson Lodge No. 86, as of November 20, 1989

Page 39: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 31

W. Bro. R. D. Mulholland, King Hiram Lodge No. 78, as of January 10,

1990

W. Bro. T. W. Garland, Moravian Lx)dge No. 431, as of September 18,

1990

W. Bro. J. A Ash, Parkwood Lodge No. 695, as of December 14, 1990

and posthumously to:

W. Bro. F. G. Graves, St. Francis Lodge No. 24

W. Bro. D. L. McNair, Craig Lodge No. 574

It becomes necessary from time to time to recognize the contribution

of members of special ability.

Kenneth L. Schweitzer has given unselfishly of his time and energy to

Masonry. He first served as Grand Director of Ceremonies in 1976 and his

service has continued ever since. He has worked on the registration and

balloting procedures as well as helping to set up Grand Lodge and

ensuring that all equipment reached the hotel from Hamilton. He has been

and is a willing worker and any task is undertaken by him with enthusiasm

and cheerfulness.

Douglas H. Bliss has been a faithful and devoted servant for nineteen

years as Chief Clerk in the Grand Lodge Office. At the same time he has

been an active worker in his lodge and continues to serve as its Secretary.

He will be retiring effective August 31, 1990. We wish him well in his

retirement years.

Pursuant, therefore, to Section 73 of the Book of Constitution, I ampleased to recommend that the rank of Past Grand Senior Warden be

granted to these worthy brethren.

SPECIAL EVENTS

The ancient ceremony of Laying a Cornerstone was performed at

Waterford for the Public Library on September 23, 1989. Grand Lodge was

opened in ample form in the lodge room and then moved in procession

along the main street to the site of the library. Many dignitaries from the

area and numerous Masons and local residents watched the ceremony,

which created a tremendous amount of interest in the community.

Page 40: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

32 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Another important event took place on March 31, 1990, when a sod

was turned to mark the start of an important venture in Brampton. Theceremony was well attended despite the cold weather, and good wishes

were extended to the Brampton Masonic Lodge Corporation for a

successful and speedy construction of its new premises.

On May 26, 1990, Limestone Daylight Lodge No. 739 was Constituted

and Consecrated in an impressive ceremony, which was watched by a large

number of Masons who filled the lodge room at Napanee to overflowing.

There are two ceremonies: one of Constitution (to create the lodge as a

constitutional entity); and the other of Consecration (to set its feet on the

true path of Masonry). Though these are separate, they blend into one

solemn and beautiful ceremony. Our hopes and prayers accompanyLimestone Daylight Lodge as it embarks on its journey into the future.

A quiet celebration was held on June 10, 1990, as an official opening

of the restored lodge room in Tillsonburg. Only one desk and one chair

were salvaged from the fire that destroyed the building. The York Masonic

Temple Board assisted by providing some furniture to replace that which

was lost. It was a happy and pleasant occasion attended by many Masonsand their wives.

An evening to honour the late R.W. Bro. Ernest A. Anderson was

held on June 27, 1990, by Franck Lodge No. 127. It was an evening of

great companionship, though tinged with a feeling of sadness, as this fine

Mason was remembered. He was initiated in 1952, becoming Worshipful

Master of the lodge ten years later. He was elected District Deputy GrandMaster of Prince Edward District in 1978. During the evening the banquet

facility was formally named Anderson Hall. To mark the occasion and to

leave a permanent record, a plaque was unveiled by Mrs. Margaret

Anderson assisted by members of her family and the Grand Master. Bro.

Anderson's quiet strength of character will always be recalled by everyone

whose life he touched. He was a Mason and a wonderful gentleman and

his memory will remain in the hearts of his many friends.

PROCEEDINGS

Your Grand Lodge annually publishes a booklet referred to as the

Proceedings. This is not only the official record of the minutes of the

Annual Communication, but it also contains much useful Masonic

information. Within its pages there are, for example, the names and

addresses of Grand Lodge Officers, a listing of all lodges showing details

Page 41: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 33

of membership changes, lists of lodges by District and by location, as well

as extracts from the Proceedings of other Grand Lxjdges around the world.

All members are urged to read this interesting volume. Each lodge has a

copy and personal copies can be purchased through the Grand LodgeOffice.

RECOGNITION OF 100 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE

Your Grand Master heartily congratulates Acacia Lodge No. 430 on

having served Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction for nearly 100 years and

wishes it continued success. This lodge is granted permission to wear gold

braid as of June 16, 1992.

Lodges approaching 100 years of active service are reminded that they

should consider making a request for recognition of such service to the

Grand Master at an early date.

WILLIAM MERCER WILSON MEDAL AWARDS

I am extremely pleased to extend my personal congratulations, and also

those of Grand Lodge, to the following recipients of this prestigious

Award:

Bro. Murray W. Curtis

Merrickville Lodge No. 55, Merrickville

Bro. Harold L. McCallumUnion Lodge No. 7, Grimsby

Bro. Wilfred A. NewburyAcacia Lodge No. 561, Ottawa

Bro. Leonard E. Snider

Brotherhood Lodge No. 723, Waterloo

Each brother has had to demonstrate outstanding loyalty and

dedication to the Craft and to his community. To be considered for the

award, he must also have received the endorsement of his peers. Thecongratulations and good wishes of all members are extended to these

brethren for having added a special lustre to our great fraternity.

Page 42: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

34 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

It is with regret that I record the passing of two previous recipients of

Colombia (Bogota) — R.W. Bro. A. Edgar DyerIceland — R.W. Bro. James A. J. HughesEngland — M.W. Bro. Bruce B. Foster

guest speaker at the Grand Master's Banquet. He is the Immediate Past

Grand Master Mason of the Grand Lodge of Scotland and a member of

the Board of General Purposes of the United Grand Lodge of England.

We look forward with anticipation and eagerness to a lively Address from

this knowledgeable Mason.

Page 43: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 35

YOUTH GROUPS

A sincere expression of gratitude must be offered to the manydedicated brethren who have assisted the DeMolay Chapters in Ontario.

The young men who comprise the DeMolay Chapters perform outstanding

ritual work and are to be highly commended for their efforts and

dedication. We support the work of the many brethren involved with

DeMolay Chapters and wish them even greater success in the future. Atthe present time, there are the following five Chapters of DeMolay in

Ontario:

Ottawa Chapter, Ottawa - Instituted 1974

Windsor Chapter, Windsor - Instituted 1977

Horace Munday Chapter, Toronto - Instituted 1980

C. Fred Kingsmill Chapter, London - Instituted 1981

Frank L. Rodger Chapter, Belleville - Under dispensation 1989

I am told that requests for information on the formation of DeMolayChapters have been received from members in Hamilton, Brockville,

Kingston, Oshawa, Barrie, Cambridge, Chatham and Sarnia. We wish them

success in their endeavours. Further information may be obtained from

V.W. Bro. Roy Doherty, through the Grand Lodge Office.

Two lodges in Ontario are sponsoring Boy Scout Troops. It appears

that this has proved to be a great boost to the image of Freemasonry in

the two communities involved. Grand Lodge compliments the two lodges

for their initiative and hopes that, wherever possible, other lodges might

follow their example. Information regarding the sponsorship of a Boy Scout

Troop may be obtained from R.W. Bro. George W. Kerr, through the

Grand Lodge Office.

THE RITUAL

The Custodian of the Work strives to ensure that no addition or

alteration shall be made to the ritual except that authorized by the Ritual

Committee. The Custodian of the Work, M.W. Bro. N. R. Richards, has

carried out his difficult duties with moderation and a good sense of the

dignity and history of the ritual. Sometimes members unwittingly introduce

innovations. This could be avoided if questions as to the correctness of any

part of the ritual or ceremonies were referred to the Custodian of the

Work. I draw your attention to his answer to a request concerning the use

of eulogies at a Masonic Memorial Service. The Custodian of the Workhas suggested that the use of eulogies was contrary to the thinking of our

Page 44: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

36 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

late Past Grand Master, Archbishop W. L. Wright. M.W. Bro. Wright felt

that, if a eulogy is given, it should be delivered within the lodge where the

deceased's Masonic service could be more properly reviewed. On the other

hand, at the public funeral service the eulogy usually would be given by

the clergyman in charge. The ritual for a Masonic Funeral Service must

be followed by all lodges. Eulogies or additions such as the 23rd Psalm or

the 12th Chapter of Ecclesiastes must not be used.

LODGE SUMMONS

The summons is the communication link with the brethren and it also

reflects the character of the lodge. The only restrictions are the minimal

regulatory requirements of the Constitution and masonic propriety. Thesize, colour and use of photographs are open to the imagination of the

members. Many lodges have responded to the challenge and created

interesting and vital summonses. Although the summons is prepared and

issued under the direction of the Master, it does not prevent the

appointment of a committee or committees to collect information, to set

it up, to check a proof or to assist with the mailing. Do not always leave

everything to the Secretary.

It is necessary to draw attention to the provisions of Section 270 of

the Book of Constitution. Instances have occurred of material which does

not relate to Craft Masonry being included in the summons or in the

envelope. This practice must cease and the regulation must be observed

without exception by each lodge.

Although a specific reference is not made to Newsletters, the standards

established for all Craft Masonry publications are expected to be

maintained. It is important that all Newsletters project a favourable image

of Masonry. Material that could cause embarrassment to Freemasonry or

its members should be carefully avoided.

VISITATIONS TO OTHER GRAND LODGESAND MASONIC BODIES

It was most pleasant and instructive to attend the Grand Lodge

Communications of other Grand Lodges. I was happy also to attend, as

your Grand Master, several meetings of other Masonic Bodies. The major

benefit from these contacts is the confirming of the cordial relationships

existing between these Masonic Bodies and our Grand Lodge.

Page 45: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 37

A list of these visitations will be found in Appendix "A".

CONFERENCES

Your Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master and Grand Secretary

attended the North American Conferences of Grand Masters and GrandSecretaries. Also in attendance was Past Grand Master W. R. Pellow in his

capacity as Vice-Chairman of the Commission on Information for

Recognition. These Conferences afford an opportunity to exchange ideas

and to meet leading Masons from the length and breadth of North

America. A prior commitment prevented your Grand Master from

attending the Banff Conference, hosted by the four Western Canadian

jurisdictions. The Deputy Grand Master, therefore, was called on to

represent our Grand Lodge. On his return he provided a fine and detailed

report of the proceedings, for which we express our appreciation.

The Canadian Conference of Grand and District Grand Lodges was

attended by the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master and Grand Secretary.

This Conference is always particularly useful because it addresses matters

that are directly relevant to Canadian concerns. It does this by the

presentation and active discussion of papers of common interest. I very

happily volunteered the services of our Deputy Grand Master as the

moderator of one such session. He performed this task with great success

and upheld the prestige of our Grand Lodge.

COMMITTEE ON FRATERNAL RELATIONS

The Committee on Fraternal Relations deals with the delicate issue of

amity between this Grand Lodge and other Grand Lodges. In reaching

decisions of this nature, we avail ourselves of the discussions of the

Commission on Information for Recognition of the Conference of the

Grand Masters of Masons in North America. It is left to each Grand

Lodge to determine its own course of action. Further information is

obtained by observing the reactions of other Grand Lodges. In addition,

there are questions as to whether a current situation in which amity is

present could cease as the result of a disagreement or other change of

circumstances.

It is not an easy decision because background knowledge, derived from

first hand experience, is required. I recommend that future decisions by

Page 46: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

38 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

this Grand Lodge regarding fraternal relations be based on a recommenda-

tion by the Past Grand Masters of our Grand Lodge.

PROXY DIRECTIVE

A number of complaints have been received about the collection of

ballots by the designated lodge proxy. The Constitution directs that the

three senior officers shall cast the lodge votes. Those votes are to be cast

by the lodge proxy only when all three of the senior officers are absent.

I have directed that this year, on a trial basis, the scrutineers will issue the

lodge ballots to a properly designated proxy no earlier than one hour and

a half prior to the closing of registration.

It is also drawn to the attention of all members that voting for GrandLodge Officers takes place in district meeting rooms either between 4:00

p.m. and 4:50 p.m. or between 5:00 p.m. and 5:50 p.m. The ballot boxes

for the election of Grand Lodge Officers must remain open until 4:50 p.m.

or 5:50 p.m., depending on the period allotted to the district meeting.

LODGE FINANCES

Although the subject is too complex for a thorough discussion in this

Address, there are issues that must be drawn to your attention. The role

of Grand Lodge is to maintain some degree of overall uniformity of action

and to point out deficiencies in financial control that might lead to

problems. As each lodge controls its own finances, its financial health

depends totally on the abilities of its members to budget responsibly. TheMaster and the members must continually review their fiscal policy to

ensure that it is realistic. Dues and fees cannot remain static, while lodge

expenses increase from year to year.

Consideration must be given to the setting of the initiation fee andwhat it is to be used for. Perhaps a large percentage of it could be invested

in a reserve fund, the interest from which could be used to provide extras

on special occasions. Perhaps a large percentage could be placed in the

Benevolent Fund and the small remainder placed in the investment

portfolio of the General Fund. But regardless of its uses, think carefully

about the initiation fee so that the money is conserved for long-term needs.

One of the greatest dangers to the financial strength of a lodge is the

granting of Life Memberships without due safeguards. Because it is very

Page 47: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 39

difficult to apply sound actuarial principles to an entity as small as a lodge,

the granting of a Life Membership becomes somewhat of a guessing game.

Today's decisions reach too far into an unknown financial future to be

made lightly. For example, a Life Membership given for ten times the

current dues is not acceptable unless those dues are at a sufficiently high

level. Nor is it sound fiscal practice to grant a Life Membership without

a significantly long period of service.

Each lodge should utilize the expertise that is available among its

own members. If, however, there is no member within a lodge with the

necessary skills, it is certain that there is at least one within the District.

This member need not be a Past Paster. He could be the newest memberbut, if he has the skill, let the lodge use it.

DISPENSATIONS

Each year there are many requests for dispensations. Although a high

percentage of these are more or less routine, I do not recommend a change

to the Constitutional requirements. Some dispensations, however, do need

further attention. Masonry is not just a question of law and strict legality,

but also of fellowship, fraternity and human kindness. This is why I have

granted permission in certain instances for members to wear regalia whenparticipating in Remembrance Day Services or in other community parades.

These were found to be excellent methods of promoting social relationships

and showing that Masonry is not aloof from the affairs of the community.

The continuing strength of Masonry lies in the way its members are seen

by their neighbours to behave. I recommend that approval be given by

Grand Lodge to these actions as general policy and that changes be madeto the Book of Constitution to reflect this in the future.

DISCIPLINE

A lack of fraternity can soon drive a wedge between members of a

lodge. It is unfortunate that the precepts of brotherly love, friendship and

fellowship have, in some cases, been forgotten because of a personal

resentment. The fraternal tie of brother to brother must continue to exist

and the art of Freemasonry must again prevail. It is well nigh impossible

to arbitrate between individuals who refuse to come together or fail to

recognize that compromise and compassionate co-operation are necessary.

In the few cases that have come to our attention, we can only hope that

common sense will prevail and permit the brethren to work in harmony

Page 48: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

40 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

together. Masonry is too great a jewel to be split by personal feuds and

petty jealousies.

CONSTITUTION AND JURISPRUDENCE

The present Constitution became effective on January 1, 1980, and,

subsequently, changes have been made almost yearly. The timing of the

necessary Notices of Motion does not provide adequate opportunity for

members to give serious thought to the proposed changes. I recommendthat the Committee on Constitution and Jurisprudence consider a method

to allow sufficient time for full debate in lodges.

COMMUNICATION

The word "communication" is a very old English word, meaning "to

share with others." It is hoped that we have gathered at this Annual

Meeting to do just that. If information and opinions are shared, our

deliberations will be blessed with a successful outcome. We have gathered

in a Communication not simply to legislate but as a gathering of menwith a common purpose, governed by a common idea and believing in a

common ideal.

Governing is really about consulting and listening, both based on

mutual trust. It follows that communication is of paramount importance.

It is not only telling that counts, but also listening. Your Grand Master

has attempted to apply this principle by making contact with a great manybrethren at Receptions and other meetings. This approach seems to have

engendered the idea that we are all on the same team and straining toward

the same goal.

It is vitally necessary to discuss mutual problems so as to arrive at

solutions in a co-operative manner. With this in mind, your Grand Master

has offered to meet any group of Masons in an informal setting for a

mutual exchange of ideas. This offer was taken up by members in Northern

Ontario. Both Grand Wardens and the Grand Registrar accompanied the

Grand Master to informal meetings of this nature in Sault Ste. Marie,

Thunder Bay and Dryden. The enthusiasm generated by these meetings was

heartening. Much was learnt from the experience by all in attendance. Asimilar meeting was held in Dundas, attended by members from the three

Hamilton Districts. The reaction to this approach has been favourable.

Plans have been made for a similar meeting to be held in Kingston on

Page 49: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 41

September 21 and 22. It is hoped that on this occasion all Committee

Chairmen will be present to answer questions pertaining to the duties of

their respective committees.

The Grand Master renews his offer to be available at mutually

acceptable times to attend informal meetings for the purpose of meeting

brethren and exchanging questions and answers. It is essential that the

brethren communicate with one another. Barriers must not be placed

between the committees of Grand Lx)dge and the brethren. If there is a

better way to conduct Masonic affairs, let us hear about it.

LODGE MANAGEMENT

It is an unfortunate characteristic of our day and age, from which

Masonry has not been exempt, that the distinction between leadership and

management has become blurred. The two roles are quite distinct. Theleader challenges current practices, making them prove that they are still

viable, whereas the manager accepts current practices, employing them to

achieve the goals of the organization. At all levels of authority, therefore,

leaders must be free to lead and not be distracted by purely managerial

functions. In a lodge, it is essential that the Master not be left in splendid

isolation to perform all tasks himself. The lodge is each member's Masonic

home and each Mason has a responsibility to ensure that it is well run.

The Master should delegate responsibility. He should have a group of

members available with whom he can exchange information and discuss

new ideas. He cannot do everything himself and he should not be

permitted to try.

A reminder must be given regarding Open Houses and the Mentors

Programme. The Open House enables the public to become better

acquainted with Masonry and hopefully remove the idea that the Craft is

a secretive organization. Every lodge is urged to use the Mentors

Programme because it is an effective means of instruction for the

candidate. The programme has worked well in many lodges and serves to

make the candidate more at ease in the lodge and more knowledgeable. It

forms a part of the candidate's introduction to Masonry. Our efforts to

educate all brethren must continue, for it is only in this way that the

membership may talk confidently of Masonry. But even more importantly,

we must teach members to a degree of consciousness; we do not wish to

teach them to a degree of trust and reverence. We must make our

members men, not children. Education is a continuing process. It is not

Page 50: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

42 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

something one learns as a youth at school and then forgets. Everyone is

constantly learning and, for Masonry, this is imperative.

It is necessary to keep within the bounds of the Constitution and of

masonic propriety. If anyone is unsure of a particular point, there are

numerous sources of assistance available to members at different levels. In

an individual lodge, there are the Chairmen of committees and other

skilled brethren, the Secretary of the lodge and the Worshipful Master, as

well as the Past Masters. In the District, there are the Chairmen andmembers of committees, the District Deputy Grand Master and the Past

District Deputy Grand Masters. Finally, standing ready to advise and assist

lodges and districts are the extensive resources of Grand Lodge. Theseinclude Chairmen and members of the Committees of Grand Lx)dge,

members of the Board of General Purposes and the Grand Lodge Officers,

particularly the Grand Master and the Grand Secretary.

As Masons, we do not expect to use these resources as a crutch. Eachlodge, each member must do his own walking.

CONCLUSION

We may feel that we are simply living in the present. Though today

may be the present, it is also the future and the past. Sometimes we are

too preoccupied with the present to worry about the future. We movefrom the past to the present on a continuous line. There are no distinct

compartments marked "Past," "Present" or "Future." Life is similar to a

river. As it flows along its course, it is sometimes turbulent and sometimesquiescent. Often it is caught in quiet, calm backwaters but, at other times,

it is a flood of water pouring over boulders and splashing past hazardousrocks. It is so with our lives: but, in all these variations, there is a steady

rhythm, a constant undercurrent. This is what holds our lives together.

We refer to Masonry as a way of life but we do everything possible

to isolate it from our total experience of life. Wives and families are told

little about Masonry. Often, as the economy places a stringency upon lodge

finances, the Masonic response is to restrict or eliminate the social

programme. The Masonic family must mesh with the personal family andwith society in general. The ideas of community and fraternity must berestored, because the Craft is not a parallel river that flows on withoutregard to life. Masonry must enter the 21st Century as part of the mainstream of our personal lives. This demands education and thought,

Page 51: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 43

leadership and organization. Let us all, therefore, be operative Masonsagain and be apprentices not merely to Masonry, but to all of life.

A man is a Mason when he smells the flowers and glories in the

beauty of a landscape, when he understands both the lowest and the

noblest elements of life and can be happy and courageous; when he sees

sorrow and can be compassionate; when he realizes how little is the humanbeing in nature's scheme of things; and when distress is not unheeded by

him and he responds with sympathy and tolerance.

A Mason therefore exists in two worlds. One is of the rightness and

the seemliness of all things and the other is of the truly temporal world

of material qualities. It is to the second of these that attention must be

drawn. Technical advancements in communication and business practices

create an urgent need for changes in our thinking. Our minds must

constantly be attuned to new ideas and to new methods that are being

dragged along behind increased technical knowledge.

With all the excitement of new technology, widespread travel and fresh

fields to conquer, the man entering Masonry in today's world must have

his interest stimulated. We cannot afford to bore him because boredom is

a dangerous enemy of Masonry. If a member does not find the lodge

interesting and therefore, does not attend, he cannot be taught. If we do

not teach him, the future of Masonry will be insecure.

There remain a few hurdles to overcome, some opportunities to be

grasped, before moving forward into a full and new life. The fact that

Masonry has existed for several hundred years is something of which to be

proud but that fact does not of itself guarantee our continued existence.

New thoughts and new ideas are needed. We cannot build Masonry by

saying, in response to new suggestions, "It won't work" or "We've never

done it that way before." Masonry is exciting and venturesome. It has not

been built upon mediocrity or tameness, but upon a search for excellence

and on a sense of adventure. Masonry is exciting and stimulating to those,

but only to those who work for it.

The past is behind us. What survives today is simply tradition and the

spirit of the Craft. The past lets us know from whence we came and our

proud heritage will enable us to stand tall upon that knowledge, facing the

future however uncertain and difficult it may be. This demands work and

effort. All we need to do is to work together to earn a place where

freedom is natural, a place where we may grow and a place where we mayenjoy our God-given humanity. Let us unite in teamwork. Let us forget

Page 52: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

44 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

differences that divide us and concentrate, instead, on that which we hold

in common. Although each of us wants Masonry to survive, we tend to

leave it to somebody else to undertake the work and do the thinking. Wemust be masters of our own destiny. If we are to move into the future, wewill do so only because we want it.

We do our work without arguments, without loud voices, without

stridency and without aggressive confrontation. We do our work by

negotiation, by open debate and by offering to every member an

opportunity to voice his opinion. In this spirit of co-operation let us unite

our hearts and hands and think about Masonry and work at Masonry.

Sincerely and fraternally.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONDECEASED BRETHREN

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. D, W. Dixon, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Dixon,

it was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

As we gather today for the opening of this 135th annual session of our Grand

Lodge, we recall with sorrow and yet with loving pride those of our number who,

during this past year, have cast aside their earthly responsibilities and have answered

the summons of the Great Architect of the Universe.

M.W. Bro. William Lockridge Wright, Dean of our Past Grand Masters, received

his call on January 19, 1990, and has left each brother in our Grand Jurisdiction so

much the better for his dedicated service to our Craft. His inspired leadership will

stand the test of true values for generations to come. May the example of that life

be an example for each of us to emulate. Many of us have felt the sorrow and the

hurt when a loved one or close brother has t>een called to his eternal home, but let

us remember the teachings of our beloved Order, that we must all stand tjefore the

face of death, as this is the lot of man.

It has been very encouraging this past year to have the co-operation of all those

who so promptly forwarded the names of deceased past Grand Lodge Officers to our

Grand Lodge Office, and all Lodge Secretaries for returns for our annual report.

Your committee has been formulating some ideas for the betterment of our

fraternity relating to deceased brethren and their families for submission to the Board

of General Purposes for consideration. Any brother who may have some positive

ideas may contact this writer.

This past year has seen the printing of a new Memorial Service Booklet and it

is recommended that each lodge order a supply from the Grand Secretary's office.

In conclusion, your committee would express sincere appreciation to our Grand

Secretary and his staff in Hamilton for their efficient and courteous manner in

assisting us in our endeavours.

AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master,

Orncers and Members of Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M.

of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

We have examined the statements of financial position of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada

in the Province of Ontario as at April 30, 1990 and the statements of revenue and expenses and retained

income for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing

standards, and accordingly included such tests and other procedures as we considered necessary in the

circumstances.

In our opinion the financial statements present fairiy the financial position of the Grand Lodge

A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario as at April 30, 1990 and its revenues and expenses for

the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied, after giving

retroactive effect to the change in accounting policy as explained in note 1 to the financial statements, on

a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Chartered Accountants.

Hamilton, Ontario,

May 28, 1990.

On motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by the GrandTreasurer, the Auditor's Report was adopted.

64 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

GRAND TREASURER'S REPORT

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the

Grand Lx)dge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and my Brethren:

I am pleased to report the deficit in this year's operation of Grand

Lx)dge, forecast in the Budget one year ago, did not materialize. It should

be noted that effective May 1, 1989, our Grand Lodge changed its method

of accounting from a cash basis to an accrual basis. This action was taken

to conform to the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered

Accountants.

In order to establish a true comparison of this year's Financial

Statement with that of last year, the restated figures reported in 1989 have

been utilized.

Our Financial Statement for the year ended April 30, 1990, indicates

a surplus of $97,785. The statement for 1989 shows a loss of $68,737, or

a turnabout of $166,522. This can be accounted for by items such as:

additional income from dues — $110,000; additional income from sale of

books — $25,000; gain on investments — $12,700; transfer from special

retirement fund — $13,500; and miscellaneous — $4,800. If the old cash

system had been used we would have been very close to the break even

point.

Again, during this past fiscal year a lower membership base, increases

in office salaries and inflationary pressures have only been partially offset

by revenue generated from our two dollar per capita increase, which took

effect on January 1st of this year (a four month period). In this current

year the full effect of this extra revenue will be felt. Secondly, as bonds

mature, they are being replaced by investments in short term Government

Treasury Bills bearing a higher interest return. These two factors combined

should increase revenue in our current fiscal year.

Donations and bequests to the Memorial Fund this past year totalled

$52,205. The income generated from these capital funds will be available

for benevolent purposes in perpetuity. Our Memorial Fund has shown a

modest increase from $933,687 in 1989 to $974,144, a growth of $40,457.

The total of all three Funds (General, Memorial and Commutation) is nowa shade under three million dollars, at $2,962,917.

Page 73: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 65

An analysis of our revenue generated this past year ($637,861) indicates

that fees, including annual per capita dues, initiations, etc. contribute 54

percent, and investment income about 30 percent — about 84 percent of

our total income. It is becoming apparent that we have been playing

"catch-up" in our Commutation Fund.

Using an arbitrary figure of 18,000 commuted membership dues wewould have to generate $90,000 (18 x $5.00) from our fund investments.

At a conservative yield of 10 percent per annum this would require a

Commutation Fund of $900,000. The Commutation Fund balance at the

end of the fiscal year stood at $380,190. I will be examining various

alternatives in the months ahead to address this $520,000 shortfall. Whenthe Commutation Fund ultimately reaches its proper operating level, it

cannot help but moderate future financial demands on annual dues paying

members.

I am happy to report that in our current year the Audit and Finance

Committee have been prudent in projecting expenditures. They are

budgeting for a small surplus.

The recommendation of the Committee on Audit and Finance at the

Board meeting on January 13th last and the subsequent approval of the

Board that the Grand Treasurer be authorized to manage the investment

portfolio of Grand Lodge with a more balanced investment philosophy to

permit investment in a professionally managed equity portfolio is now a

matter of record.

We fully agree with the concept of gradually adding to our portfolio

with an investment in an equity portfolio, but in view of the market

conditions during the past six months we have not yet made an initial

equity investment. We presently feel the time may soon be at hand whenit would be prudent for us to commence with a modest equity investment

and are pleased at the authority to act accordingly.

The discussion of last January has led to further consideration about

long term welfare of our investment management philosophy and has

caused us to invite presentations by two professional money managers. It

cannot be denied that our investment strategies of the past many years

have been very much of an ad hoc basis and we have become convinced

that we would be much better off to employ professional counsel to

manage our total portfolio. Guidelines would be forthcoming from the

office of the Grand Treasurer and the Committee on Audit and Finance

on how the manager should administer our portfolio.

Page 74: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

66 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Professional management does not come without some cost and full

time professional management of our portfolio during the year ahead

would cost about $15,000 to $20,000. This would equate to 5/8 of one

percent of our total portfolio, but we are confident that this spread in

investment income would be more than offset by adding value to the

overall portfolio and simultaneously to improve the rate of return on our

overall portfolio by more than 5/8 of one percent.

Our present portfolio lacks diversification. It tends to be in longer

term bonds and we consider it important that we seek broader

diversification. We are dealing with a large amount of money and in this

day and age it is no longer prudent to manage such a portfolio without the

advice of professionals. Therefore we now formally seek approval of GrandLodge to employ professional investment counsel to manage all the funds

of Grand Lodge. The Grand Treasurer and the Committee on Audit and

Finance would meet with the investment management group on a quarterly

basis and report to the Board twice a year with the details of the results

of our investment strategies. We strongly recommend your approval of this

new policy.

A special word of praise to the Most Worshipful Grand Master whosets such a good example by keeping within his budget and similarly to the

chairmen of the various committees for staying within their allocations. Aspecial note of commendation for the Grand Secretary. His astute

management and continuous monitoring of the financial affairs of GrandLodge contributes greatly to the bottom line of our current Financial

Statement. The Chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee has been

a tower of strength. His co-operation and assistance is greatly appreciated.

Finally, I am appreciative of the services rendered by our Auditors,

the Doane Raymond Group and Mr. George Benton, in preparing the

annual Financial Report for presentation to Grand Lodge. TTie Report

includes schedules of the year's receipts and disbursements. Again, you will

note the 1989 figures are restated for comparative purposes. These

schedules appear in the pages that follow. I recommend them for your

study.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

On motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by the GrandTreasurer, the Report was adopted.

SEMIANNUAL RETURNS

Semiannual returns have been received from 652 constituent lodges and

the information contained therein has been entered in the books of GrandLodge. Statistical information may be found in the audited statement

presented by the Grand Treasurer and in other tables printed in the

annual Proceedings of Grand Lodge.

It must be noted that several lodges were unduly tardy in the

completion and return of this documentation. As of this date, onesemiannual return has still not been received. Unfortunately, in someinstances, the urgency in completing and returning the current information

is not taken seriously. It is trusted that the necessity of prompt completion

and return of the required information will be addressed by the Worshipful

Masters when and where necessary.

DISTRICT SECRETARIES' MEETINGS

Once again R.W. Bro. K. L.Whiting and I were privileged to

participate in several District Instructional Meetings, which afforded us the

opportunity of dialoguing with the secretaries in over one-third of our

districts this past year. Without exception, these meetings were well

attended by very enthusiastic secretaries who exhibited a genuine desire to

learn and develop skills peculiar to the office of Lodge Secretary. In

districts that conduct Secretary Meetings on an ongoing basis, a spirit of

camaraderie was evident. This of course augers well for the success of the

respective lodges.

Your Grand Secretary and/or his Assistant is willing to participate

whenever possible in District Secretarial Meetings.

GRAND LODGE OFFICE

Last year I reported that change had been the common denominator

in your Grand Lodge Office. This year, I again must report that change is

still the order of the day, even though not as extensive as in the previous

year.

More and more of the daily routines are being converted to

computerization. This past year saw the accounting become computerized

and a beginning has been made on the establishment of the data base for

membership recording.

Page 86: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

78 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Physical change, although not as extensive as reported last year, is still

ongoing. New and better floodlighting has been installed over the parking

area and along the east wall of the Memorial Building. The sprinkler

system has been upgraded and exterior painting undertaken.

In the interior, much of the furnishings in the Board Room and private

offices have been refurbished.

Indeed, we are indebted to our landlord, Masonic Holdings, and to

Grand Lodge for funding these long awaited improvements.

To our faithful Lodge Secretaries who have worked so diligently in

providing the information requested for the data base, we offer our

heartfelt thanks. Hopefully, in the not too distant future, you may see the

reward of your efforts in this regard.

Ere closing, I must express the appreciation of our entire staff to you

the membership for your support, assistance and co-operation which has

greatly assisted your Grand Lodge staff in their quest to better serve you.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

R. E. DAVIESGrand Secretary

On motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by the Grand

Secretary, the Report was adopted by Grand Lodge.

REPORTS OF THE DISTRICT DEPUTYGRAND MASTERS

The 43 reports of the District Deputy Grand Masters were presented

by the Grand Secretary and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master,

seconded by the Grand Secretary, they were referred to the Board of

General Purposes.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONPRINTING AND PUBLICATIONS

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. D. I. Greenwood, Chairman,

and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro.

Greenwood, it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. & AM. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The Committee on Printing and Publications comprised of R.W. Bros. Jackson

and Dixon, with the undersigned as chairman, are pleased to present this report to

Grand Lodge.

We would like to thank the District Deputy Grand Masters, and their District

Chairmen, for the promotion and sale of many of the Grand Lodge publications, and

trust this practice will be continued tjy their successors.

Since computerization at the Grand Lodge Office, considerable savings have

been effected in producing the Preliminary Reports and Proceedings. Grand Lodgeis now capable of producing camera-ready copy, ready for the printer, therefore

eliminating costly typesetting and time-consuming proofreading. This has produced

a saving of approximately $7,000 over the previous year.

The large increase in printing costs this year has been largely offset by the ready

acceptance of the Craft to the new Masonic Manual, the sale of which produced an

income of approximately $19,000.

We would like to express our thanks to M.W. Bro. R. E. Davies, GrandSecretary, and his obliging staff for their ready and willing co-operation.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONCOMPUTERIZATION

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. C. E. Drew, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Drew, it

was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The computerization is continuing at an increased pace. The automation of our

accounting records is now complete and we are now producing our own camera-

ready documents for the printer, which results in a considerable cost saving. The1989 Proceedings and the Preliminary Proceedings, including the Fraternal Reviews,

are examples of the excellent work prepared by our own staff:

1988 1989 Saving

Proceedings $15,032 $8,945 $6,087

(Preliminary Proceedings included)

Fraternal Reviews $10,597 $7,563 $3,034

Total $25,629 $16,508 $9,121

A most acceptable cost benefit, with no sacrifice in the end quality of the product.

We have also produced the 1989 Constitution, the Memorial Booklet, Booklets 0, 1,

2 and 3, the Annual Report of the Masonic Foundation, the Benevolence Application

Form and the book by R.W. Bro. Wallace McLeod, "History of the Masonic

Foundation of Ontario."

During the next Masonic year, we will commence the automating of the semi-

annual returns, convinced that this will prove of great assistance to the LodgeSecretaries in this task.

The conversion of our membership records is continuing and we have sought

the assistance of the Lodge Secretaries in completing an information form. Eachmember has a number on his Grand Lodge Certificate which is located on the base

of the right hand column. This number is MOST IMPORTANT in our conversion

programme and the efforts expended in ascertaining the number are most

appreciated.

We have a programme available to those lodges which have a computer whereby

the information needed can be sent in to us on a diskette. Many requests have t>een

received from lodges seeking information and direction in purchasing computer

equipment. To this end, we have a fact sheet which outlines what we have in the way

of hardware and software. We then offer suggestions as to purchasing equipment. We

Page 89: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 81

have arranged for a Seminar at the Grand Lodge Communication on July 17, 1990.

R.W. Bro. J. Pos has kindly agreed to assist in this presentation, which will provide

a demonstration of how a basic computerized system can benefit a Lodge Secretary.

The committee recommended the establishment of a "fax network" between the

District Deputy Grand Masters and Grand Lodge. The intent was that the District

Deputies be asked to supply a fax number where they could receive communications

from Grand Lodge. It was also recommended that a fax machine be assigned to the

Grand Master, this to be considered when the budget was being established.

We would be most interested in receiving any ideas or suggestions on how the

Grand Lodge computer can aid the lodges and districts.

All of which is resp>ectfully submitted on behalf of the committee, M.W. Bro. T.

John Arthur and R.W. Bro. Kenneth L. Whiting.

C. EDWIN DREWChairman

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONMASONIC EDUCATION

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. J. A Hughes, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Hughes,

it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Your Committee on Masonic Education has enjoyed a challenging yet productive

twelve-month period. Challenging: by meeting the demands of today while preparing

for the promises of tomorrow. Productive: in that the Mentors Programme was

brought under the umbrella of education, as was the responsibility to complete the

Information Booklet for the Prospective District Deputy Grand Master - Speechcraft

Dynamics was expanded - promotion of an Officers Training Programme based on

Towards the Square continued - commitment to the growth and utilization of both

The Correspondence Course and the Newsletter through advertising was undertaken -

and a Conference of Masons in three different areas of the Province was held.

Many committee members also attended workshops and meetings as guest

speakers; responded to written requests for educational material and generally

responded in the capacity of "Ambassadors of Masonic Education."

Page 90: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

82 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Your committee met regularly on the fourth Thursday of each month and the

undersigned, as chairman, expresses his thanks to all committee members for their

co-operation and assistance. It was a pleasure working with you. The members are:

R.W. Bros. Robert A. Barnett (Editor of The Newsletter); Graham E. Bilboe; Ralph

Green; Reginald E. Jewell; Duncan J. McFadgen (Chairman of the Mentors

Programme); Robert D. Summerville; Edsel C. Steen and Larry J. Hostine

(Correspondence Course Administrators); J. Murray Wagg (Chairman of the

guidelines booklet for the Prospective District Deputy Grand Master); Ronald M.

Watson (Secretary of this Committee); George G. Wilkes; and W. Bros. Claude

Brodeur and Richard C. Slee (Chairman of the Speechcraft Dynamics Programme).

To begin with, the mandate under which this committee has operated for a

number of years was reviewed to determine if it was still viable. After due

consideration, it was unanimously agreed that the mandate as presently written is

appropriate and that the committee is functioning in accordance with that mandate.

The Mentors ProgrammeThe Mentors Programme, under the chairmanship of R.W. Bro. Duncan

McFadgen, continues to gain popularity and members report that it is working in

between three and four hundred lodges.

The outline printed in 1986 was revised in 1987 and now has been distributed

to all Regional Chairmen. Also, Position Descriptions outlining duties and

responsibilities for the Regional Directors, the District Chairmen and the Lodge

Chairmen have been developed and distributed. Our thanks to all directors and

chairmen for their co-operation with this programme. The process that has been

established to provide information and to opjerate the programme at all levels is

critical to the usefulness of the programme. A weakness at any stage will impact

negatively by creating gaps and misinformation. Brethren, if you are involved, we ask

you to earnestly pursue your responsibilities. The programme does influence

membership - it does work.

Information Booklet for the Prospective District Deputy Grand Master

Under the direction of R.W. Bro. J. Murray Wagg, a committee has completed

this information booklet and it is available through the Office of the Grand Secretary.

Some of the topics discussed are:

. PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS (Knowledge of the

Craft - Knowledge of the Constitution etc)

• BEING A LEADER (Delegation - Abilities - Responsibilities etc)

• ADMINISTRATION (Planning the year - Selection of Committee Chairmen

etc)

• SPEAKING: HOW TO AND WHEN TO STOP - ADDRESSES, TALKS ANDTOASTS and much, much more.

Page 91: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 «3

Too frequently brethren are elected to the position of District Deputy GrandMaster who are not prepared for the duties and responsibilities connected with that

office.

This is not, however, to be considered an instruction booklet for a District Deputy

Grand Master; rather it is an information booklet for any Master or Past Master whomay sometime in the future wish to consider offering his services to the district or

who, perhaps, may wish to recommend a brother for that office.

Recently two seminars, based on this booklet, were conducted; one for the Seven

Toronto Districts and one for the Districts of Ontario, Peterborough, Prince Edward,

Victoria, Frontenac and St. Lawrence. Both were well received and consideration is

being given to holding a number of Regional Seminars on a regular basis.

Speechcrafi DynamicsBeing only the second year this programme has operated, your committee is

extremely pleased with the enthusiasm and the reported results. The brethren are

finding that the course is interesting, challenging and that it does teach one confidence

and promotes the art of effective communication.

This programme presently is tied with Toastmasters International and requires

co-ordination with a leader from that group. If you are a member of both the Craft

and Toastmasters, or a recent graduate of the course, why not offer your services to

your district as a Speechcrafi leader. This will give you the opportunity to further

improve your skills while, at the same time, serve Masonry.

Last year eight districts took part. This year, twenty-two districts were identified

and, while all were not able to get off the mark, several new districts did so and it

is hoped that by next year Speechcrafi Dynamics will be operating in at least 50% of

our districts and, within a very short time, all areas will be participating. As in the

past, this committee will identify areas and make the initial contact with Toastmasters

International (which, incidentally, is giving us its wholehearted co-operation); will

identify the leaders and will set the programme in motion. Following this, the District

Education Chairman is asked to take over and, with the support of the District

Deputy Grand Master, take stepK to see that Speechcrafi Dynamics becomes a regular

district programme.

The Education Chairmen who have worked so diligently with this project are to

be congratulated and, with your continued support, Speechcrafi Dynamics will reach

out and touch every Mason in our Grand Jurisdiction.

OfTicer Training

Another important area in Craft Masonry is that officers conduct degrees

effectively and with dignity and that they possess the necessary business and

administration skills to manage the affairs of a lodge.

To do this effectively, officer training is essential. The booklet Towards Tlie Square

has been reprinted and is available for use as a basis for this training programme.

Page 92: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

84 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

We must educate our officers: we must educate our leaders. A knowledgeable

officer or leader will motivate our membership into action and create lodges that are

well attended and prosperous. Officer training is the key.

The Correspondence Course

The Correspondence Course, because it provides a challenge, continues to be of

great importance to the brethren in the area of Masonic Education. Registrations

have increased and are approaching 1,300. More and more brethren are accepting

this challenge with a view to improving their knowledge of Masonry. Form a group- get together with two, three, four or more members of your lodge - meet at your

homes - share the reference material - discuss the assignments, then formulate your

own assignment responses. A great way to share the light of Masonry.

A special thank you to the Course Administrators, R.W. Bros. Edsel Steen and

Larry Hostine, as well as to each of our Mentors. Your dedication truly is

appreciated.

The Newsletter

Are you a subscriber? Have you contributed material of an educational nature

for reprinting in this quarterly publication? Why not share your papers with other

subscribers. Simply send a copy to R.W. Bro. Robert A. Barnett, the Editor, who will

be pleased to consider your submission.

The over 1,200 subscribers will attest to the value of this booklet for both

interesting reading and providing short educational talks in lodge. Also, why not

consider presenting every new member with a gift subscription. This may be the first

step in retaining his membership.

Have you noticed the new posters entitled "Sharing The Light Of Knowledge?"

You too can share in this knowledge. Our thanks to W. Bro. Alberto Bertelli for his

artistic abilities.

As a note of interest, an increased number of districts are producing District

Newsletters, as well as a number of lodges. This is a tremendous way to

communicate. The publishers and promoters are encouraged to continue these

projects and, if this committee can assist, please do not hesitate to contact one of its

members.

Conference of MasonsThree spring sessions, entitled CONFERENCE OF MASONS, directed at

membership retention through having a better understanding of duties to the

applicant; a better understanding of duties to the candidate; a better understanding

of duties to the new Mason, were held: one in Chatham on April 28th (Chatham,

London East, London West, Sarnia, St. Thomas and Windsor Districts participating);

one in Sudbury on May 19th (Algoma East, Nipissing East and Sudbury-Manitoulin

Districts taking part); and one in Smiths Falls on May 26th (Eastern, Ottawa 1,

Ottawa 2 and St. Lawrence Districts participating).

Page 93: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 «S

The attendance was less than expected; however, the sessions were well received

and proved very productive. There is great enthusiasm among the brethren and wemust build upon this enthusiasm and channel it so that our responsibilities to newmembers are understood and practised.

Conference participants are asked to take back to their lodges and share those

ideas and topics discussed. It is through sharing and communicating that Masonry will

grow.

We thank the presenters and participants, but a special thanks to the three Area

Co-Ordinators: R.W. Bro. Edsel Steen, W. Bro. Jervis Weir and R.W. Bro. James

Gilpin. These brethren did an outstanding job of co-ordinating the sessions. Ofcourse, we also appreciate and thank the District Deputy Grand Masters and their

Education Chairmen for their major part in the day.

The committee had the privilege of participating in a number of lodge and district

programmes and this is very much appreciated. Please contact any member of the

committee at any time if we can be of service. We will be very pleased to assist

whenever possible.

Various brethren produced educational papers and material for reprinting and

distribution. Many of these were utilized and we thank you sincerely for your

initiative.

Continuity in lodge and district education is essential. If our Craft is to enjoy

programmes that provide a challenge, programmes that inform, programmes that

motivate and inspire, we must have long term planning. A three-year term for

chairmen is not unreasonable and will allow for long term planning.

Brethren, the Craft must have strong leadership, leaders that are informed -

leaders that are skilled - leaders that are knowledgeable. Education is the key. Usethis key to unlock the door so that all may enjoy and appreciate its great and

invaluable privileges.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the Committee.

REPORT OF THE BLOOD DONORS' COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. L. J. Hostine, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Hostine,

it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Page 94: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

86 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It is my privilege and pleasure to present the report of the Blood Donors'

Committee, which is composed of the following members: R.W. Bros. G. L. Atkinson,

G. E. M. BiltxDC, A. D. Mortson, R. J. McKibh>on, F. J. Satterley, W. E. Shaw, R.

D. Summerville and K. R. Brown.

The committee wishes to thank this year's D.D.G.M.s for their assistance and also

to congratulate them on their choice of District Chairmen, as their dedication to this

cause is most evident in the results attained. It is recommended that wherever

possible the new D.D.G.M.s give consideration to reappointing those Chairmenwishing to continue in this service.

In correspondence received from the Canadian Red Cross they acknowledged,

with deep appreciation, the outstanding service and contribution that the Masonshave provided the blood donor recruitment programme with for over 40 years. In

fact, that was further acknowledged when, on January 13, 1990, W. Bro. Douglas

Franklin, the Commissioner for the Canadian Red Cross Society, presented GrandLodge with a Certificate of Appreciation for 40 years of dedicated service.

FACT - EVERY 20 SECONDS SOMEONE IN CANADA NEEDS BLOOD

This is not just a catchy phrase, it is REALITY!!!

To help meet this goal, the criteria which one can give blood has changed from

90 days to 71 days and the age increased from 65 years to 71 years. This alone

should increase our donations by 20%.

Donna Dean, the area Blood Manager for southwestern Ontario, repxDrts that the

Masons of Ontario presently account for 7% of all blood collected. A fact that weshould be most proud of.

This year, for the first time. Grand Lodge issued a Certificate of Appreciation to

Masons who have contributed at least 100 donations. There are many Masons whohave reached this pinnacle of charity. When you stop to consider that in order to give

100 donations, most Masons have been actively involved in this programme for somethirty years and a Certificate of Appreciation is most deserved by them. Later in this

report, you will find a list of those brethren who have given 100 donations or more.

In one of our most active districts, W. Bro. George Meuser, a Past Master of

Leamington Lodge No. 290, who is now a retired secondary school teacher, was able

to convince some 206 students in two campaigns to donate their blood for the first

time. Talk about giving the youth of Ontario a sense of pride in their endeavours!

He was also opening a Masonic window into what we as Masons do in our

communities.

Brethren, the need for blood never diminishes. In our fast moving society it

increases daily. The donation of blood is "BROTHERHOOD IN ACTION," and if

Page 95: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 87

we wish to demonstrate that we are our brother's keeper, then we should be

"REGULAR" blood donors.

My brethren, don't forget, the first month of the year is just as important as the

last! The Blood Donor Committees of each district and each lodge should be

PROUD of their effort. I know I am!

Congratulations are extended to all who have given 100 donations or more:

OF INTEREST AROUND THE JURISDICTION

Prince EMward District

R.W. Bro. R. K. Tompkins reports that Eureka Lodge No. 283 sponsored a very

successful clinic. Not only did they donate $150.00 to the Quinte Branch of the RedCross to help with expenses, but 16 of their brethren eagerly accepted responsibility

for the clinic.

W. Bro. Howard Cole, the District Chairman, reports that not only did EurekaLodge distribute 60 posters in Belleville and outlying areas, but they advertised in the

papers and radio stations. When the two-day clinic was all over, some 665 pints werecollected.

In summing up, Bro. Cliff Saigle, Chairman for Eureka Lodge, states that the

clinic was a very successful and rewarding experience and that this was a great wayto show their community who Masons are and what we do. Someone's life was surely

made happier through their untiring efforts.

London E^st and London West Districts

These are well orchestrated and organized Districts. Even though membershipcontinues to decline, they continue to increase their donations.

Bro. Art Rake, Chairman for London West, reports a tremendous effort of the

brethren of St. John's Lodge No. 209A for the highest number of any lodge with 396donations.

W. Bro. Clare Hatt, Chairman for London East, reports that every lodge

Page 97: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 89

f)articipated and that the top donations go to Nilestown Lodge No. 345 with 127

donations.

Peterborough District

V.W. Bro. Vera Orr reports their trophy is now being awarded to the lodge

which makes the most improvement in blood donations over the previous year. Thewinner of the trophy is Royal Arthur Lodge No. 523 with a 120% increase.

Chatham District

W. Bro. J. A. Hornell reports that plaques were presented to Baldoon Lodge No.

694 for the highest percentage of donations and to Tecumseh Lodge No. 245 for the

most improved lodge in the district.

He further reports that every lodge, except one, tied on improvement on the

previous year and no fault can be laid to that lodge as they are the top donors of

the district and only failed to match their previous year by one donation.

It was particularly gratifying to see all the first time donations by young family

members.

Grey District

W. Bro. Brian Fitter, Chairman for Grey District, reports that virtually every

lodge had marked increases, with the district giving a total of 832 donations.

Temiskaming District

W. Bro. J. W. MacQuarrie reports the total donations for Temiskaming District

at 509 units. This is a 592% increase over the last recorded report. The three lodges

in the Timmins area (Porcupine No. 506, Aurum No. 704 and Golden Beaver No.

528) jointly sponsored a two-day clinic with 440 units collected from a district with

only 9 lodges.

Ontario District

W. Bro. James Trimble, Chairman for Ontario District, reports that through the

use of bulletin boards. Red Cross pamphlets and speakers at lodge functions they

were able to increase their donations by 142%. The district trophy went to Parkwood

Lodge No. 695 in Oshawa.

Ottawa District 1

W. Bro. Lloyd Moan, Chairman for Ottawa 1 District, reports that while the net

gain in donations for 1990 is marginally higher than in 1989, the apparent increase

in interest in the programme this year is most encouraging and hopefully an

indication of better results in the future. He is also pleased to report that for the

second year in a row St. John's Lodge No. 63, Carleton Place is the undisputed

winner of the district trophy with 1 13 donations.

Toronto District 1

W. Bro. George H. Heuft, Chairman for Toronto 1 District, reports on the idea

that the seven Toronto Districts could work together and offer the Red Cross a set

Page 98: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

90 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

schedule and locations for their 1991 clinics. In this way, they could establish a

routine where repeat donors could return to the same location on a regular schedule.

He further reports that the Red Cross have such locations and, in certain areas of

the city where they do not have these facilities, some of our lodge buildings wouldbe ideal to fill their need and at the same time give us good and positive exposure.

Toronto District 3

W. Bro. George Hinds, Chairman for Toronto 3 District, reports a substantial

increase of 145% over the previous year. Also, the Starr Jackson Memorial Trophywent to Richardson Lodge No. 136 in Stouffville.

Toronto District 7

W. Bro. Bruce Edwards of Toronto 7 District reports that they had several

meetings and conversations with the Red Cross and found them most energetic,

enthusiastic and co-operative towards their efforts. He also shares in the idea with

Toronto 1 District for the 1990-91 year that the seven Toronto Districts should worktogether and have a number of clinics.

Hamilton A District

For the second year in a row, this district has the largest number of donations

for the province. Keep up the good work!

Windsor District

The Chairman, Colin Johnson, reports an increase in donations to 952. Well runarea clinics in Tilbury, Leamington and Kingsville help to attribute to the success of

REPORT OF THELONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. H. N. Britton, Chairman, in

two parts; and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W.Bro. Britton, Part A was adopted and Part B was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It is a privilege to submit this annual report on behalf of the Long RangePlanning Committee. Its members include: R.W. Bros. A. Aggerholm, F. R.

Page 99: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 91

Branscombe, C. S. Brooks, C. E. Drew, J. A. Hughes, J. C. Piper, D. R. Thornton,

D. G. Walker, S. R. Whiteley, and the writer.

Four meetings were held at which many subjects were considered, some of which

are referred to in this report. The report has been divided into two parts: Part Adealing with the status of the committee and Part B with other subjects.

Part A

Long Range Planning Committee Status

The Committee reported to the Board of General Purposes in January, in part,

as follows:

The Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) is a special or particular

committee established by the Board of General Purposes under the

authority of the Constitution. Although it is not a standing committee, it

has been appointed each year since its inception in 1979.

The first LRPC was appointed by M.W. Bro. N. R. Richards with its

Chairman the Deputy Grand Master, then R.W. Bro. H. O. Polk. Other

members of that first committee included our Grand Master and

Immediate Past Grand Master, then R.W. Bros. Bradley and Pellow

respectively.

In his first report to Grand Lodge which was received and adopted, the

Chairman noted that the committee realized "that the vast scop)e of the

deliberations will eventually include every facet of Masonry" and "that the

survival and success of the committee depends on many serious and

pertinent factors," two of which were described as:

1. "foremost is the publicity by our Grand Lodge Officers to inform the

general membership of our (the committee's) existence, purpose and

sincere devotion to our beloved fraternity." and

2. "that the committee is provided with voluntary information on the

condition of Masonry at the constituent lodge level."

Your LRPC believes these statements to be equally true today. During

the intervening years, the committee has considered a wide variety of

subjects and there have been many reports as a result that have impacted

our Craft. All these reports have not necessarily been prepared by this

committee but often by another special or standing committee prompted

by the LRPC deliberations.

The LRPC believes that the continued re-establishment and re-

appointment of this committee each year since 1979 indicates the

succeeding Grand Masters and Boards belief in its value to the Craft.

Page 100: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

92 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

The committee further believes that its value would be increased if it was

established under the Constitution as a Standing Committee with its

purpose and relationship with districts and lodges defined and its

complement established to ensure continuity with a regular infusion of

new members and ideas.

Accordingly, Notice of Motion has been given to amend the Constitution of

Grand Lxxige to recognize the Long Range Planning Committee as a Standing

Committee with appropriate terms of reference.

In order to ensure continuity as well as an infusion of new members and ideas,

it is recommended that:

The Long Range Planning Committee comprise nine (9) members, each

serving a term of three (3) years of whom one-third or three (3) shall be

appointed each year.

Any term of office may be terminated by a request in writing by either

the member or the Board of General Purposes.

Part B

Standing and Special Committees

It is recommended that the Committee on Constitution and Jurisprudence give

consideration to an amendment to the Constitution to make the Deputy Grand

Master an ex officio member of all committees.

Free Masonry - Our Vision For The Future

A paper titled "Free Masonry - Our Vision For The Future" was prepared by

R.W. Bro. J. C. Pifjer. Time did not permit its complete review and it was agreed

that it should be referred to next year's committee for attention.

District Deputy Grand Master's Office - Selection and Funding

A survey, prepared by R.W. Bro. A. Aggerholm, was distributed to all District

Deputy Grand Masters seeking details of the selection process and funding details of

the office followed in their respective districts. Most, but not all, replies had been

received by our last meeting. A summary will be prepared and given to next year's

committee.

Board of General Purposes and Greater Use of Past Grand Lodge Officers' Talents

The consensus of the committee was favourable to R.W. Bro. C. E. Drew's

proposal to have District Deputy Grand Masters as members of the Board of

General Purposes following their year in office. They would then be fully familiar

with the current condition of the Craft in their respective districts and time would

permit their participation in committee work.

A review was initiated respecting the organization of the Board of General

Purposes with a view to streamlining its operations by way of an Executive or

Page 101: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 93

Management Committee within its structure and to provide a means for more

thorough review of concerns, needs and future developments in Masonry in our

jurisdiction at full Board meetings. R.W. Bro. S. R. Whiteley circulated a

questionnaire as part of this review. It is recommended that the committee continue

these deliberations next year.

Grand Lodge Committee Expenses

While considering the 1990-1991 budget, it became apparent that some confusion

and/or misunderstanding exists regarding appropriate committee expenses.

It is recommended to next year's Long Range Planning Committee that it

investigate and report on a long term basis appropriate types of expenses for all

Grand Lodge committees including those of committee members.

The committee is grateful for the opportunity to serve the Craft and wishes to

thank you Most Worshipful Sir for your continued encouragement and support.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the Committee.

REPORT OF THE GRAND CHAPLAIN

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. S. J. Maddock, Grand

Chaplain, and received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It has been a great privilege over the past twelve months to have served in the

office of the Grand Chaplain and to have had the pleasure of sharing with the

brethren on committee and in the many preaching engagements you have invited

me to.

Craft lodge members have a great responsibility to ensure that what we will enjoy

over this week of our 135th Convocation of Grand Lodge has a depth of enrichment

to it, not just of fellowship, but of time spent wisely. Most of us will have taken time

away from our families and places of business or that much needed vacation time to

restore our physical and mental condition. This is indeed precious time.

Page 102: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

94 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

There are two words that speak to such an occasion. One is worthiness and the

other is faithfulness.

Worthiness or worshipfulness, as we relate it to titles, supposes that those whocarry such rank, which is potentially each and every one of us, is full of that worth

and, thus, by our attitude and desire to improve the condition of our fellow manthrough Masonry, worthy of spending time with at the highest level of interest,

morals and humour. Brethren, enjoy the great privilege of meeting at such levels.

Faithfulness covers three meaningful levels of our lives. Our relationship with

God, our families and our Craft. By virtue of our declarations of commitment to

serve our fellow man, we should be the most dedicated worshippers society has ever

experienced, regardless of our religious following. Such has not been the case in the

past, but with more zealous and insensitive critics surfacing in our Grand Jurisdiction,

nothing will dispel their criticism more than the faithfulness you show to your specific

religious following. What power that word possesses. Many a potential leader in our

Craft has been sidelined by a foolish and careless moment in which being faithful to

his family and its important foundations of fidelity has brought much disappointment

to family and, in the long run. Masonry. Guard your careless feelings brethren, vanity

can lead to great disaster.

Finally my brethren, to be faithful to ourselves means we are truly faithful to our

Craft. For the teachings we profess, uphold the need for a degree of excellence. Not

poor efforts, but by using all our strength, mind and of course belief in the presence

of the soul being a gift of our Creator that is to be reverenced by all.

Of course, these thoughts are not just for this special week, but as a framework

for life itself.

To our new officers of Grand Lodge, I extend a sincere word of congratulations

and gratitude with our respect and support for a successful year under the guidance

of the Most High and his faithful and worthy servant, Most Worshipful the Grand

Master, David C. Bradley.

Yours faithfully,

SIDNEY J. MADDOCKGrand Chaplain

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONTHE CONDITION OF MASONRY

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. R. E. Jewell, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Jewell,

it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. «fe A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

On behalf of the members of the Committee, R.W. Bros. W. Anderson, J.

Boersma, L. Hostine, G. Kerr, S. Maddock, R. Porter, R. Throop, D. Thornton and

R. Watson, I am pleased to present this report.

The condition of Masonry in our jurisdiction spans a wide spectrum of

involvement.

There are lodges that are prospering and strong; those who are moderate in their

successes; while others are struggling with their future and a group fighting

desperately to survive.

There is a sense of buoyancy and anticipation for the programmes of our GrandMaster as he stresses co-operation, communication, work, planning and friendship.

The District Deputy Grand Masters report positively and accurately on conditions

in their districts.

Spring and summer Installations are on the increase. It may be warm but the

travelling is good. It is noted that certain lodges are meeting in the warmer months

and are taking a cold weather "break."

Limestone Daylight Lodge No. 739, recently consecrated, does not confer degrees.

Its purpose is to allow the brethren and their wives of Frontenac District to gather

in a social setting. There is a short lodge meeting to organize the business affairs, a

luncheon, an interesting topic or a trip following lodge closing. Under the present

dynamic leadership team, events are well attended.

Continuation of a new format for the lodge summons has enhanced their

readability and interest to the brethren.

The Master's messages are encouraging the brethren to "renew their enthusiasm

for the Order."

Most lodges are now including thoughtful and moving memorials to our faithful

departed brethren.

Page 104: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

96 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Profiles of lodge personalities provide a worthwhile insight of active Masons;

their involvement in the community, religious and youth work, as well as interesting

sports and hobbies.

Lodge picnics and barbecues heighten the social activities and develop closer

friendships among the Masonic family while providing an opportunity to involve non-

Masonic friends.

"Open House" activities, even in the smallest communities, attract public interest

and prospective candidates.

District Divine Services and Lodge Divine Services are continuing; an excellent

means to demonstrate our faith.

Committee Concerns and RecommendationsThe lodge summons should contain information pertaining to Craft Masonry. The

Proceedings, Grand Master's Bulletin, Publications of Grand Lodge are all

informative sources within our jurisdiction.

Districts are urged to recycle Grand Lodge regalia as much as possible. Direction

to be given for return of regalia upon the death of a member. Past Masters' jewels

should never appear in "flea markets."

Each district should adopt a set of bylaws. This would provide continuity for long

range planning. As well, periodic evaluation of the method of choosing District

Deputy Grand Masters should take place in each district.

Secretaries should form a District Association to provide support and information

from lodge to lodge.

Lodges should evaluate their committee structure. Delete those that are not

necessary and require reports from existing committees on a regular basis.

Preparing a budget and close examination of lodge finances is most important.

Dues structure should reflect the present day costs and be realistic. Dues should be

the same for all members. There are lodges with dues as low as twenty-five dollars

per annum, making it difficult to gain financial stability. This particular area should

be heavily stressed when District Deputy Grand Masters are addressing their Masters

and Wardens Associations.

Lodges with a high percentage of life members and a lack of income should

consider a special appeal where need is most urgent.

Invoicing of dues is again recommended as sound business practice. Use a plain

white envelope and send separately from the summons.

Lodges are encouraged to participate, by dispensation, in community programmessuch as 4-H Clubs, Boy Scouts, Remembrance Day Services and Parades. Offer our

Page 105: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 97

Lodge Hall facilities to the community, church groups, senior citizens. Guides andBrownies, for examples.

Formation of degree teams within lodges is recommended. Involving many Master

Masons under the leadership of a Past Master should be the aim of all lodges. Themore Masons involved with our ritual, the better they appreciate its beauty and

meaning.

Lodges are encouraged to notify Masonic Service Guilds when any of their

brethren are hospitalized so that visitation may be provided for the brethren.

Delinquent brethren should be carefully investigated. As a brotherhood promoting

benevolence and charity, no one should ever be suspended for difficult financial

circumstances. Neither should any of our very senior brethren be faced with

suspension. Please investigate cases most thoroughly.

Lodges are encouraged to forward information, photographs etc to the GrandLodge Office for the Bulletin. Communication is important.

District Deputy Grand Masters' Reports

District Deputy Grand Masters report that lodge rooms are being renovated and

decorated throughout the districts: "Great Pride In Oiir Masonic Homes, Brethren."

A District Deputy Grand Master comments that, "disharmony occurs in lodges

where one or two brethren intimidate others. Better attention to friendly, fraternal

relationships would solve these difficulties."

Public perception of Masonry increases when lodges have Open Houses, Divine

Services and social functions open to the public.

Many districts are presenting Instructional Meetings for Worshipful Masters,

Wardens and Secretaries. As well, the "Towards the Square" programme is being

presented. More of these workshops are needed!

Several District Deputy Grand Masters commented on the business portion of

lodge meetings being lengthy and unorganized. The effective use of Board of General

Purpose committee would enable affairs to be discussed in a less formal setting andshorten the business portion of the lodge meeting.

The tremendous success of the "Nip Drugs In The Bud" fund raising campaign

was never fully advertised beyond Masonry. The general public lack knowledge of

many of our large financial contributions.

A District Deputy Grand Master comments: "Mentors programme, where used, is

definitely proving itself; those not using it need to be hounded until they do - it only

takes one candidate for lodges to see how well it can work.

"

Samia District Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. John Howden, encouraged

Page 106: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

98 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

lodges to exhibit proficiency through special presentations without using degree work.

Many were varied and excellent.

R.W. Bro. P. (Pat) Birnie of Nipissing East stressed the use of the Masonic

Manual, new Book of Constitution, upgrading of lodge bylaws and the benefit of

extra practice.

Ottawa 2 District Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. Carl Everson, recommendsa programme for those members who miss several meetings in succession - not to

harass or chastise but encourage them to be part of the benefits of Masonic

membership.

District Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. Jack Gardhouse, reports Harris LodgeNo. 216 initiated sixty candidates in the last ten years. Fifty-seven are still active, only

two have demitted. His comment: "Great News."

Another District Deputy Grand Master comments on the welcoming of visitors

and making them feel at home. Would you remain seated welcoming friends into

your home? Why then does the Master of a lodge remain seated when welcoming

the Grand Master or other visitors to his Masonic lodge?

Lodges that visit throughout the district have a more dynamic corps of Officers,

so comments another District Deputy Grand Master.

Every District Deputy Grand Master had the highest praise for the manner of

their reception, with the utmost in dignity and protocol being observed.

Throughout our jurisdiction there is a keen awareness of changes taking place.

We live in a fast-paced society. Masonry offers that special haven from the daily

routine.

By constantly examining our practices, we will become stronger, more dedicated

and devoted.

Our committee expresses thanks to M.W. Bro. David C. Bradley for his timely

advice and wise counsel in our deliberations. We also express our thanks to the

Grand Secretary and his excellent staff for their kind co-operation.

Respectively and fraternally submitted on behalf of the committee.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONBENEVOLENCE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. W. E. Elgie, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Elgie, it

was received.

To the Most Worshipfial the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The Committee on Benevolence has the honour to report that during the year

ending April 30, 1990, there was disbursed in the interest of benevolence the

following amounts:

52 Grants $79,313.00

4 Interim Grants 6,500.00

Christmas gratuities 1,000.00

Total expended for benevolent purposes from the Memorial Fund $86,813.00

In addition to the above, $30,000 from the interest of the Memorial Fund was

returned to the General Fund which for many years supplemented the benevolent

grants of Grand Lodge.

In June, your committee reviewed 41 applications for the 1990-91 year, of which

6 were new. It is recommended that the Supervisor of Benevolence make the

following grants and loan based upon the receipt of satisfactory documentation from

subscribing lodges.

36 Grants through the lodges $66,550.00

1 Loan 1,000.00

3 Grants through Board of Relief 3,700.00

10 Estimated Interim Grants 17,000.00

Christmas Gratuities 1,000.00

Total Budget $89,250.00

During the June and July deliberations a notional high of $4,500 per grant was

determined. Applications received were representative of 34 lodges from 21 districts.

Nine bequests and donations totalling $52,205 for the Memorial Benevolent

Fund were received this year from brethren, the estates of deceased brethren and

their families. Expressions of appreciation have been forwarded to the donors by the

Grand Secretary. Such memorials for Masonic benevolence are gratefully appreciated

and are to be encouraged.

Several lodges have developed programmes for their Masonic widows, not a

Page 108: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

100 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

once-a-year dinner and evening of entertainment, but one of every day concern which

is deeply appreciated as evidenced by the following -

"/ like being considered a part of the Masonic family. It sure is nice to

be remembered."

"Please express my sincere thanks to your organization for their

thoughtfidness in remembering my husband through your gesture offriendship to me."

"I no longer will require the fiinds you left on each visit, but please

continue sending the Christmas card signed by the Grand Master."

Unsolicited, brief, heartwarming and unmistakenly sincere comments! The true

value of friends can never be estimated. There is nothing worse than living alone or

having the feeling that there is no one around that you can rely on for help or

companionship. Knowing that one has friends is a comforting and reassuring feeling.

Freemasonry with its emphasis on the obligations we owe to others exemplifies the

value of friendship in the strongest way possible. A friend is: "One who multiplies

joy, divides grief and whose honesty is inviolable." - "One who understands our

silence." "One who comes in when the whole world has gone out."

Reports from District Chairmen of Benevolence indicate that many lodges are

generously distributing funds from separate benevolent accounts for both memberand community needs. Some of their comments follow -

"This benevolent support has continued for several years and has allowed

this widow to live in her own home, meet family and communityresponsibilities and to participate and lead in church and seniors

activities."

"Each year the lodge gives two bursaries to needy and deserving students

at University and College."

" - Lodge gives two awards at the local high school graduation."

"One lodge purchased a cook stove for a widow, another a microwave

oven for a disabled dependent."

"Tliree lodges established a Trust Fund to defray the costs in excess ofthose paid by the government for a profoundly deaf young lady whograduated from the E. C. Drury School for the Deaf in Miltoru She is

now attending Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the only liberal

arts college in the world for the deaf To date, 8 lodges and the Board ofRelief have contributed."

One uplifting story involving Masonic benevolence is that of a brother's son, born

with chronic renal failure and given no hope for living by the doctors at birth. Both

Page 109: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 101

parents gave up their jobs to regularly transport the child to Toronto Sick Children's

Hospital for dialysis treatment. Prior to Christmas, this five year old received one of

his mother's kidneys and, as of this writing, has shown no signs of rejection. As the

foregoing testifies, it is well that our Craft should continue to preserve its high

reputation for practical helpfulness extended to those in need. Masons are not asked

to give until it hurts. Masons give until it HELPS.

We compliment those District Chairmen who attended each official visit with the

District Deputy and spoke about benevolence. The lodge knew they were available

in case assistance or information was required. The format of the revised benevolent

form was seen as allowing for a more complete picture of the applicant's need.

Several emphasized that benevolence is not restricted to just financial concerns, but

also to visitation and odd job assistance for our elderly brethren. One District

Benevolent Project called "Sharing and Caring" raised over $5,000 for the purchase

of a wheelchair lift for the local hospital so the nurses can assist the elderly andinfirmed in and out of bed.

Your committee has much pleasure in recommending that the subscription to the

Masonic Relief Association of United States and Canada be continued. Past GrandMaster Bro. Eric W. Nancekivell was elected President last September in Scottsdale,

Arizona, and will preside until the next Biennial Conference to be held in Burlington,

Ontario, September 25-27, 1991. Our Grand Lodge is honoured through his

preferment. The several contacts with various Boards of Relief in Canada and United

States have been most productive. We pay special thanks to the ongoing work of

Boards in Vancouver, Hamilton, Ottawa, Peterborough, London, Kingston, Sudbury,

Sarnia and the recently amalgamated Toronto Masonic Service Guild and Bureau.

Careful scrutiny, along with necessary counsel and direction, has been given to

each application and inquiry received by your committee. Increased public awareness

of some of the charitable sectors of our fraternity may be a necessity, however, the

present system not only permits but encourages the quiet personal element in

individual charitable endeavours as well. We again thank R.W. Bro. T. Richard

Davies for hosting the June meeting in Toronto. As an ex-officio Director of the

Masonic Foundation, your Chairman has attended all meetings of the Board of

Directors. The need to clarify and maintain the different roles and functions of the

Grand Lodge Benevolence Committee and the Masonic Foundation of Ontario is

ever present.

On behalf of all brethren, it is again my delightful duty to express sincere

appreciation to our Supervisor of Grand Lodge Benevolence, R.W. Bro. Kenneth L.

Whiting, a man with compassion, understanding and clarity, who so efficiently

administers a most integral function of the Craft. The splendid co-op)eration of the

Grand Secretary and his cheery staff in assisting in the administration of benevolence

is most appreciated.

Your committee recommends that approval be given for a payment from the

interest of the Memorial Fund to the General Fund in the amount of 510,000. This

gratuity is being forwarded in consideration of the ongoing support provided for the

work of benevolence.

Page 110: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

102 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Improved governmental social services and health care are helping people live

longer. A greater percentage of our membership and dependents are over 65 and can

now expect to live almost one-third of their lives in active healthy retirement. Within

our Masonic family will be some whose disabilities limit their desire and ability to

carry out routine activities. Maintaining an active lodge practice to track and assist

the needs of all lodge dependents is paramount to a caring fraternity. Beyond the

provision of goods and services that can be discharged by money lies the true and

expansive domain for Masonic stewardship. Thoughtful and kindly acts of

remembrance through visitation and practical assistance where required is still the

responsibility of those who can help. It is in these non-monetary aspects of

benevolence that Masonry has a unique contribution to make, in the provision of

relief, delivered with brotherly love.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE ONTHE BULLETIN

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. C. J. Woodburn, Chairman,

and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro.

Woodburn, it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

This past year has been a busy one for your Grand Lodge Bulletin. Three issues

have been sent out with a variety of suggestions from our brethren having been

incorporated.

With advice from our committee members, R.W. Bros. Norman Buckingham and

Gerald MacDonald, we recommended to the Board of General Purposes at its

January, 1990, meeting that our committee undertake a study on the possibility of

The Bulletin being expanded into a magazine format. This was adopted and first

efforts in this study have been taken. A question format has been established and weare now underway in visiting a representative variety of lodges. It is recommendedthis continue during this fall and winter. Like motherhood, we all seem to be in

favour of an expanded Bulletin; however, the big challenge is how to fund such a

publication. Instead, comments appear to be in favour of a strong use of advertising

and Grand Lodge and lodge contributions. Again the strong message is for

publication not only on Ontario Masonic events, but also Canadian and International.

If any lodge is interested in being involved and providing input in this survey, please

contact our committee.

Page 111: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 103

We have received copies of other Masonic magazine publications such as those

from Australia and the State of Maine. We have also investigated costs for large

Church publications. In these cases, the parent or head office bodies are totally

financially supportive of the publications less advertising revenue generated.

Present costs to publish our Bulletin are in the area of $10,000 per issue,

including postage costs to lodge secretaries, but not including any added lodge mailing

costs. We will explore the possibility of sending future issues to the lodge secretaries

via Canpar in the year ahead. This would improve speed and might cut downhandling. If this is adopted, we will contact lodge secretaries who use a postal box

and request home or office addresses for ease in delivery. In the year ahead with

G.S.T. in January, plus material and labour increases, we anticipate a 10% cost

increase.

In the past year, we also tried both the traditional blue ink format and a standard

black ink. Black ink is much less expensive than blue; however, so little weight of ink

is involved that there is very little cost saving, hence we recommend use of our

standard blue ink in future issues.

Our printers advise us that the size format of the last two issues of The Bulletin

is very efficient in paper use and gives minimal waste.

In the past year, we have again had the pleasure of working with our talented

Editor, R.W. Bro. Wilson McConnell. To be with him anytime is a joy and the

opportunity was taken this year, in our second issue, to run a personal biography of

this devoted Mason. Regretfully, we must advise you that R.W. Bro. McConnell has

now requested that he be replaced as Editor. While we regret his health problems

which have caused this request, it would be unfair to further impose upon him.

Hence, we recommend that R.W. Bro. McConnell be named as Editor Emeritus of

our Bulletin with the hope that we will be able to call on his expertise and

journalistic knowledge for many years ahead.

After considerable searching, we are happ>y to recommend as our new Editor, W.Bro. Richard Large. Bro. Large is a Past Master of Melita Lodge No. 605 in

Toronto District No. 2 and has, for the last six years, been its secretary. His interest

and talent in communication has no doubt been fostered during his 36 year career

with the C.B.C. Bro. Large has also developed and authored Melita's Newsletter -

"The Coffee Grounds" - and, more recently, has been involved in the Toronto

District No. 2 Newsletter, "The Communicator."

Bro. Large has accepted our invitation to become Editor on the understanding

of strong support and guidance from the committee. Without hesitation, we have

promised this to him. We request confirmation of this appointment and, once

received, request that information for possible use in The Bulletin be forwarded to:

Mr. Richard Large

In summary, your committee has made a number of recommendations for your

approval. In addition, we have committed ourselves to an expanded search for

guidance from our brethren to determine their wishes in a bulletin or magazine

format and the means to finance the result.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONFRATERNAL RELATIONS

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. A G. Broomhead, Chairman,and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro,

Broomhead, it was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Your Committee is pleased to report on the ever changing Masonic scene beyondthe perimeters of the Province of Ontario.

During the past twelve months and as a direct result of the remarkable turn of

events in Europe, two Grand Lodges have been reestablished. On December 27,

1989, the Grand Lodge of Hungary was reconsecrated in Budapest. Even morecurrent is the reestablishment of the Grand Lodge of Yugoslavia, which wasscheduled to take place on June 23, 1990, in Belgrade.

Last year we reported on the formation of the Grand Lodge of Hawaii and its

regularity. We now report that this new Grand Lodge has received the recognition

of many Grand Lodges throughout the Masonic world, including the United GrandLodge of England. An official request for recognition having been received from this

Grand Lodge, your Committee now recommends that the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M.of Canada in the Province of Ontario extend formal recognition to the Grand Lodgeof Hawaii.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONANNUAL COMMUNICATION SEMINARS

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. W. T. Anderson, Chairman,

and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro.

Anderson, it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The Committee on Annual Communications Seminars has organized, for this

year, four seminars which will be presented at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17, 1990.

The presentation sector of the seminar to last at least one hour, with the remainder

of the time for audience participation.

The topics, and the seminar leaders responsible for each, are:

Computerization - The Way of the Future R.W. Bro. C. Edwin DrewThe Importance of Good Communication R.W. Bro. W. N. Buckingham

Office of District Deputy Grand Master R.W. Bro. Murray WaggPreparing for the Office of Worshipful Master R.W. Bro. James Hughes

The Chairman is indebted to the wise counsel of the Committee members -

R.W. Bros. C. Edwin Drew, Gerald E. MacDonald and Fred J. Satterley. Their kind

assistance and advice was essential to the organizing of the seminars.

The interest in and the attendance at these seminars has steadily increased since

their inception, indicating a desire by the Masons of the jurisdiction to obtain

knowledge. However, only a small number of our fraternity are being exposed to the

opportunity to attend when the presentation is made at our Annual Communications

only.

We would, therefore, recommend that where feasible the seminars be presented

on at least two other occasions each year, at locations designated by the Most

Worshipful the Grand Master.

The thanks of the committee are extended to the seminar leaders and all of the

brethren who assisted in the preparation and presentation of the seminars.

The committee also extends sincere appreciation and thanks to the Grand

Secretary, M.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies, for his efforts in making the arrangements

for the seminars with the Royal York Hotel.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the Committee.

106 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ONLODGE BUILDINGS

This Report was presented by V.W. Bro. A. D. Hogg, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by V.W, Bro. Hogg, it

was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

A review of the year indicates, that despite the general decline in membershipand the seemingly scarcity of funds, there is still considerable activity in the building

and renovation of Masonic facilities.

Concern must, however, be expressed for Lodges or Temple Boards taking onconstruction projects without fully developing feasibility studies, which have beenprojected sufficiently into the future, to indicate the viability or otherwise of the

undertaking.

Many Temple Boards are now beginning to experience financial problems due to

declining revenues coupled with increasing overhead expenses. This indicates that

lodge buildings must be utilized more fully and managed more efficiently. Thoughnot strictly within the terms of reference of this committee it, nevertheless, must bea lesson to those contemplating new or renovated premises.

The Advisory Committee has revised the long outdated LB3 Check List for

D.D.G.M.s when inspecting new lodge premises prior to dedication.

A number of D.D.G.M.s are appointing a Chairman of Lodge Buildings for their

resf>ective districts - a move we fully endorse. We encourage others to do likewise.

For this purpose. Terms of Reference, Guidelines and a Standardized Reporting

System are being prepared for the use of such chairmen. When this is accomplished,

it should enable the Chairman on Lodge Buildings to have a clearer overview of the

state of lodge buildings throughout the province.

There is much evidence that lodges have considered the suggestions made in

previous annual reports to improve their image and to display proudly the lodge

name and Masonic symbol on their buildings. Nipissing Lodge No. 420, Bruce LodgeNo. 341, Frontenac Lodge No. 621, Union Lodge No. 118, Erie Lodge No. 149,

Haileybury Lodge No. 485, Golden Rule Lodge No. 126, Beaver Lodge No. 234,

Bonnechere Lodge No. 433, Prince Arthur Lodge No. 228, Plantagenet Lodge No.186 and Wingham Lodge No. 286 must all be congratulated for their initiative in

upgrading, renovating and generally improving their lodge facilities. These are only

a few such lodges which have come to our attention.

Lodges and/or Temple Boards providing or contemplating completely new

Page 115: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 107

facilities or major renovations include: Saugeen Lodge No. 197; Brampton Masonic

Corporation; Guelph Masonic Temple Ltd.; Morning Star Lodge No. 309; Chukuni

Lodge No. 660; Lome Lodge No. 404; Burns Lodge No. 153, and Blyth Lodge No.

303.

Finally, it is the belief of this committee that it is not in the best interest of the

Fraternity to regulate aesthetics, including signage, by means of the Constitution and

therefore recommend Section 274 of the Constitution be amended by deleting the

last sentence thereof which reads, "From and after the first day of January, 1994

all buildings or structures in which are situate one or more regular lodge room(s)

shall have displayed outside of and adjacent to the building or structure, an

illuminated sign, pole or surface mounted, in form approved by the Grand Master."

The Chairman wishes to thank R.W. Bros. A. E. Dyer, R. S. Throop, D. LGreenwood, J. R. Gilpin, E. S. Rutter and K. G. Bartlett for their support and

dedication to the work of this committee.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

Many thanks to Bro. David Bailey for his contribution of signs for the door and

use the Library in his studies to write a paper entitled "The Ancient Mysteries" which

will be appearing in The Philalethes magazine. The mail-out section of the Library

has increased again this year; however the number of visitors to the Library has

remained the same as in the past year.

At this time I wish to express, on behalf of the Library Committee, our

appreciation and thanks to the devoted volunteers who have faithfully staffed the

Library throughout the year - R.W. Bros. Fred Scott, Clifford Tootell, Keith

McLean; V.W. Bros. Harold Prowse, Charles Nicholson, Charles Brown; W. Bros.

David Gordon, Bob Showkenik, Robert Faulds, John Mannisto, Robert Todd; Bros.

Cy Carr and Bill Wooldridge. W. Bro. Tom Warner took care of the out-of-district

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONLODGE FINANCES

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. J. Moore, Chairman, and on

motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Moore, it was

received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A-F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Your Committee is composed of W. Bro. N. G. McCarthy and myself. We draw

on the knowledge and expertise of other Masons from time to time as required.

During the year, we have defined our purpose and areas of contribution to the

brethren as follows:

Page 124: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

116 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

(1) to provide advice to the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, when so directed;

(2) to provide advice to the lodges and brethren, when so requested;

(3) to maintain a watch on the evolution of the economic relationship of lodge annual

dues in the categories of:

a) In-town/Out-of-town

b) Life Memberships - paid and free

c) Honourary Memberships - paid and free

d) Other fees

(4) to maintain a watch on other lodge-related financial matters such as the

ownership-structure of buildings, and the operation of such enterprises.

During the year we have had referred to us by the Most Worshipful the GrandMaster nearly a dozen proposals to amend lodge bylaws as they relate to life

memberships. After examination of the information made available to us, and

considering the uniqueness of each lodge, we have provided our comments to the

proposals.

It is difficult to generalize about a facet of the finances of the 653 Lodges in this

Grand Jurisdiction, for each lodge has its own notion of how it should operate.

However, we must reiterate that we are opposed to Life Memberships andHonourary Memberships, either paid or free, unless proper and adequate steps

are taken to protect the existing and future members from financial expense or loss

resulting therefrom.

We endorse the words of M.W. Bro. W. R. Fellow (see 1988 Proceedings, as

printed on pages 29 and 30) as they refer to Honourary and Life Memberships.

We have prepared a set of guidelines and objectives related to paid (commuted)and free memberships, bylaw amendments and fund operations which we would be

glad to make available to any lodge on request.

It is essential, to present and future financial stability, that free memberships are

promptly funded by the members of the lodge, and that commuted memberships are

sufficient that the annual dues, whatever they may be, of those members may be paid

annually from the fund to the lodge. The fund should be reviewed on a regular basis

to verify its long term solvency. Also, free and/or commuted dues should be neither

portable or refundable.

We have had several requests to meet with lodges, both alone and in a group,

to discuss matters of revenues, expenses and surplus as they relate generally to the

Fraternity and specifically to the lodges present. We are glad to do this and

encourage enquiries from the brethren.

Finally, we are hopeful that more and more Masonic real estate holdings andoperations will be moved into corporate structures as recommended by this committee

in 1988 (see Proceedings, page 113).

Page 125: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 117

We would be glad to answer any questions and offer direction in this regard to

the brethren when so requested. We are available to help and advise - just ask us!

Respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the Committee.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONFRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE

REPORT OF THE AWARDS COMMITTEE(WILLIAM MERCER WILSON MEDAL)

This Report was presented by M.W. Bro. H. O. Polk, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by M.W, Bro. Polk, it

was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

During the past year now in review, your committee is pleased to report the

granting of five William Mercer Wilson Awards. Names of the recipients have been

proclaimed by the Grand Master in his address.

Page 131: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, O^^^ARIO, 1990 123

We congratulate each brother so honoured, and commend the Worshipful

Masters and lodge officers who have thoughtfully and fraternally submitted

applications on behalf of numerous worthy members of our Craft for the

consideration of the committee to receive this jewel of exalted reputation.

To assist applicants, regulations governing the award are available from the office

of the Grand Secretary on request, or alternatively as enunciated in Appendix D, at

page 35, of the Masonic Manual of 1989. We must repeat the caution so frequently

a part of this yearly committee report. The regulations must be pursued in

meticulous detail, to assure a favourable recognition of proposed nominees.

Regretfully, there are past instances in which highly qualified brethren were not

given the honour, primarily because the petitions were wanting in substance, with

insufficient detail to portray the many attributes, as well as qualifications of the

brother to justify bestowing the award.

Our usual thanks must go to the Grand Secretary and his staff for the prompt,

efficient and courteous service provided with respect to the pertinent correspx)ndence,

and compiling the necessary records of the committee.

M.W. Bros. Irvine, Foster and the writer find the experience of ruling on the

various petitions revealing and enlightening. In most instances each relates howdevoted, dedicated and committed the recommended brethren are to the cause of

our beloved Craft. Many among them, in the advanced years of life, cling steadfast

to their resolve of unselfish service to their lodge, district, community, country andsociety in a manner that has rendered themselves faithful servants to humanity and

to their God. Truly, they portray meaning to the words of Wordsworth who oncewrote:

"When earth repays with Golden Sheaves,

The labours of the plough."

Such are these men among men!

Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

124 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

REPORT OF THE EDITORIAL COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. W. E. McLeod, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W, Bro. McLeod,

it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

A year ago Grand Lodge named a special committee, to be known as the

Editorial Committee. It consisted of M.W. Bro. N. Richard Richards and R.W. Bros.

Frederic R. Branscombe and Charles A Sankey, with the undersigned as chairman.

This committee was called into being to deal with a specific situation.

Over the years our Grand Lodge has arranged for the publication of a good deal

of printed matter - even in addition to such essential items as the Book of

Constitution, the various rituals and ceremonials of the lodges and of Grand Lodge,

the Preliminary and Final Proceedings, and the successive issues of the Bulletin and

the NewsleUer of the Committee on Masonic Education. Let me remind you of some

of the titles that have been issued within living memory under the name of Grand

Lodge or its committees. There have been books such as the History of Grand Lodge,

the Manual for Instructors, First Grand Master, Beyond the Pillars, Meeting the

Oiallenge, Wlience Come We?, and Tlie Masonic Manual There have been booklets

such as A Functional Pronouncing Glossary of the Work, Towards the Square, The

Mentors Programme, For the Information of the Man Wlw Has Expressed an Interest in

Masonry, The Entered Apprentice Degree, and the booklets that are presented to The

Fellowcraft and The Master Mason. There have been leaflets such as What is

Freemasonry?, A Guideline on Discussing Membership in Masonry, Masonic Charity and

a Guide to Masonic Reading. In addition, the committees of Grand Lodge from time

to time make plans to produce new pjamphlets. For the most part, there has not

been any consistent direction or control of these publications, to see that they actually

reflect the policy and procedures of Grand Lodge, or to ensure that they do not

contradict each other. It therefore seemed desirable to establish a committee to

monitor the situation. It should be understood that such a committee would be

intended to maintain "quality control" (as they say in the marketplace); it would in

no sense act as a censorship board. It was only on this understanding that the

members consented to serve.

In order to assist the committee, the following set of guidelines was drawn up,

in consultation with the Grand Master.

\. The Committee will assess all pamphlets, booklets and books published by

Grand Lodge, with regard to style, content, consistency and general quality. This

mandate will not include the periodical publications such as the Proceedings

(Preliminary and Final), the Bulletin and the Newsletter of the Committee on Masonic

Page 133: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 125

Education. (In a sense the committee will interpret the policy set by this Grand

Lodge, and will ensure that this policy is reflected in its publications.)

2. After the assessment, the committee will decide whether the publication should

be allowed to remain as it is, whether it should be rewritten or revised, or combined

with another publication, or whether it should be withdrawn from circulation, or

quietly allowed to expire. (If revision is necessary, the Grand Master will strike a

committee to carry out the task.)

3. The Grand Secretary will instruct the Chairmen of Grand Lodge's various

committees that, for the future, any pamphlets or booklets which they plan to

produce must pass the scrutiny of this committee before they can be printed or

distributed.

The Editorial Committee scrutinized the various publications that are available

through Grand Lodge or its committees. As well, it or its chairman read several new

texts that were produced during the year and authorized limited reprintings of certain

booklets that are in regular use. Tlie committee does have strong opinions about

some of the publications, but there seems to be no need to offer public approbation

or criticism in front of Grand Lodge as a whole. If changes should be necessary, they

will be implemented on the instruction of the Grand Master. Accordingly, the

committee has decided to present its report to the Grand Master in order that he

may take whatever action seems appropriate to him.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the Committee.

WALLACE McLEODChairman

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONAUDIT AND FINANCE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. T. R. Davies, Chairman, and

on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W, Bro. Davies,

it was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The Committee on Audit and Finance of Grand Lodge has reviewed and

considered in detail the reports of the Grand Treasurer, the Auditor's Report

attached thereto and the report of the Grand Secretary as referred to it by this

Annual Communication. These reports appear to fully and accurately record the

essential details to:

(a) The financial position of this Grand Lodge as of April 30th, 1990, and the results

of its fiscal operations on an accrual basis for the twelve-month period ended on

that date.

(b) Details of all Receipts and Disbursements in respect to the General Fund, the

Commutation Fund and the Memorial Fund; together with particulars of all

transactions and changes in Capital Accounts of Grand Lodge which have

occurred during the said period, namely the twelve months ending at April 30th,

1990.

(c) The Investment Accounts of the above-mentioned Funds and the summary of all

financial resources as of April 30th, 1990.

The following observations respecting certain matters covered by these reports,

and/or relative to its financial affairs are presented for your consideration.

Page 137: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 129

(1) The Audited Statements of Grand Lodge accounts show that the net balance of

our total resources now amount to $3,022,459 - an increase of $309,196 from

the total assets one year previous.

(2) Total receipts under the General Fund for fees, dues, commutations, interest on

investments, etc. amounted to $641,128, while disbursements, etc. amount to

$544,343. The accumulated surplus on our financial operation of this past year

is therefore $97,785.

(3) Grants for benevolent purposes amounted to $86,813 - a decrease of $8,086

from one year ago. These grants were paid out of the income of the Memorial

Fund.

It is appropriate as in the past many years to again commend the Committee on

Benevolence for the care and responsibility shown in administering the funds under

its jurisdiction.

In review of all matters covered in this report, the Committee on Audit and

Finance has received the fullest cooperation and assistance from the Grand Secretary

and his staff. The cooperation and involvement in preparing this report by the Grand

Treasurer is also much appreciated.

It was at Grand Lodge last year that the approval was given for the increase in

the per member assessment to $5.00. We had expected that that would be sufficient

to return our finances to a surplus condition, and you will see from the Statement

of Revenue and Expenses that that was indeed the case for the year ended April

30th, 1990, whereby we had a surplus of revenues over expenses of $97,785. You will

see from the presentation of the budget proposals for 1990-1991 that we are

forecasting a surplus for the current fiscal year of approximately $20,000, but this has

only been achieved by several arbitrary reductions to budgetary requests from several

committees.

The budget for this year also reflects new income of $15,000, as a result of

having the revenues of the Memorial Fund and Masonic Holdings contribute

moderately toward the cost of administration by Grand Lodge. Obviously, it continues

to be necessary that all committees understand they are not to exceed budgetary

allowances except with the prior approval of the Grand Treasurer and the chairman

of this committee.

The report of the Grand Treasurer contains an important recommendation

dealing with a change in management of the investment portfolios of Grand Lodge.

Our investment decisions in the past have been made on a day-to-day basis, and in

this time of tremendous change in economic and investment opportunities, the time

has come where we should engage professional management of the portfolios under

our care. We are satisfied the fees which would be paid for such management will

be fully offset firom enhanced investment revenues. We therefore join with the Grand

Treasurer in strongly recommending that we proceed to engage professional

management for this aspect of our responsibilities.

130 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

In accordance with Section 134(c) of the Constitution, your committee submits

for consideration and approval, as set out below, an estimate of the receipts andexpenditures as they relate to the General Fund for the year ending April 30th, 1991.

Your committee believes the estimates of the General Fund Schedule of

Disbursements, i.e. $566,200, to be realistic and to provide for items which can bereasonably foreseen to meet the obligations, financial responsibilities andcommitments of the General Fund of Grand Lodge for the current financial year.

We respectfully submit this report on behalf of the Committee.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEEON THE GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS

This Report was presented by M.W. Bro. E. W. Nancekivell, seconded

by M.W. Bro. J. A. Irvine and adopted.

To the Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A-M. of Canada in the

Province of Ontario.

Brethren:

It is my privilege, this year, to submit the report of the Committee on the Grand

Master's Address on behalf of the Past Grand Masters. The approval of Grand

Lodge is expressed by the adoption of the report of this committee.

First, we should like to congratulate the Grand Master on his outstanding

dedication, his vigorous and fruitful work in this Grand Jurisdiction and beyond and

his great accomplishments during his first year of office. He has been an excellent

leader and has devoted a great amount of time and expertise in promoting the cause

of Freemasonry in his quiet and very effective way.

We heartily endorse the Grand Master's cordial welcome to our guests, both

those from other Grand Jurisdictions and the representatives from associated bodies.

We join the Grand Master in mourning the loss by death of several members of

our Grand Lodge, including the Dean of our Past Grand Masters, M.W. Bro.

William Lockridge Wright, who made such a tremendous contribution to the cause

of Freemasonry and to the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario with

his sound judgment, great eloquence and ready wit. As the Grand Master put it in

his Address, "His graciousness and compassion will never be forgotten and the

shadow of his presence will always be with us."

We gratefully acknowledge the words of appreciation directed to the Past GrandMasters, to all members of the Board of General Purposes, to the Deputy GrandMaster and to the Grand Secretary. We also note the Grand Master's words of

thanks to his wife for her patience, understanding and supp)ort. Also, we concur with

his words of appreciation to those who have decided to withdraw from active

participation in the affairs of Grand Lodge - R.W. Bros. Gerald E. MacDonald(Ottawa), Joel C. Piper (Salford), George G. Wilkes (Hamilton), A. Dennis Mortson

(Englehart) and Jack Pos (Guelph).

We note with pleasure the Grand Master's congratulations to R.W. Bro. Morley

John Kinnee on being 50 years a Past Grand Senior Warden, to M.W. Bro. Eric

Nancekivell, R.W. Bro. Wayne Elgie and V.W. Bro. Reg. Medhurst on their positions

in the Masonic Relief Association of the U.S.A. and Canada, and to M.W. Bro. N.

R. Richards on the naming of a building at the University of Guelph in his honour.

Page 141: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 133

We fully agree with the tribute the Grand Master paid to V.W. Bro. Kenneth

Schweitzer for his long, faithful and diligent service to his Lodge, his District and to

Grand Lodge and the conferring on him of the rank of Past Grand Senior Warden.

V.W. Bro. Douglas Bliss intends to retire from his work at the Grand LodgeOffice after many years of service, and we endorse the actions of our Grand Master

in conferring on him the rank of Past Grand Senior Warden.

The committee heartily agrees with the Grand Master's conferring of the rank of

Grand Steward on W. Bro. Robert Crawford Arthur of Connaught Lodge No. 511

and also Past Rank, since Bro. Arthur died about a month later. We also fully agree

with the conferring of Past Rank on several brethren who were unable to complete

their full term of office.

Walker Lodge No. 321 has just moved from Acton to Georgetown, and we join

the Grand Master in thanking that lodge, and particularly R.W. Bro. Ray Thomf)son,

for the donation of lodge furniture to Grand Lodge for use at our AnnualCommunication.

The Grand Master demonstrated his zeal for the Craft in attending and presiding

at numerous special events, including laying a cornerstone for the public library at

Waterford, turning the sod for the new premises being built by the BramptonMasonic Lodge Corporation, the Constitution and Consecration of Limestone

Daylight Lodge No. 739 in Napanee, an evening to honour the late R.W. Bro. Ernest

G. Anderson at Franck Lodge No. 127 and the official opening of the restored lodge

room in Tillsonburg.

We join the Grand Master in congratulating Acacia Lodge No. 430 on completing

100 years of active service to the Craft and in granting the members permission to

wear gold braid.

We are pleased to endorse the Grand Master's awarding of the William Mercer

Wilson Medal to five (5) worthy recipients and his regret at the passing of two (2)

previous recipients. We also agree with his recommendation to the Grand Masters

of other Grand Lodges of five (5) Grand Representatives near our Grand Lodge,

and his confirmation of seven (7) brethren recommended by other Grand Masters

as our Grand Representatives near their Grand Lodges.

The Grand Master announced that the guest speaker at the Grand Master's

Banquet this year is to be R.W. Bro. J. M. Marcus Humphrey of Dinnet, the

Immediate Past Grand Master Mason of the Grand Lodge of Scotland and a

member of the Board of General Purposes of the United Grand Lodge of England.

We join him in keen anticipation of an outstanding address by this very distinguished

Mason.

A sincere expression of gratitude is offered by the Grand Master to the dedicated

brethren who have assisted the DeMolay Chapters in Ontario. We concur with the

Grand Master in supporting the work of the many brethren involved with DeMolay

Page 142: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

134 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Chapters and wishing them even greater success in the future.

The Grand Master includes in his Address a section on the Ritual and reminds

us that no addition or alteration should be made without the approval of the very

knowledgeable Custodian of the Work, M.W. Bro. N. R. Richards, and the Ritual

Committee. In regard to the Masonic Memorial Service and in line with the thinking

of our late Past Grand Master, Archbishop W. L. Wright, no eulogy should be given.

Rather, if there is to be a Masonic eulogy, it should be delivered within the lodge

where the deceased's Masonic service could be more properly reviewed. The ritual

for a Masonic Funeral Service must be followed by all Lodges, and eulogies or other

additions must not be used.

As for the lodge summonses, the Grand Master points out that, according to the

provisions of Section 270 of the Book of Constitution, material which does not relate

to Craft Masonry must not be included in either the summons or the envelope. Healso expects that, in newsletters, the standards established for all Craft Masonrypublications will be maintained and any material be carefully avoided which could

cause embarrassment to Freemasonry or any of its members. In all of this, weheartily concur.

The Grand Master demonstrates his great zeal for the Craft and his Masonicenthusiasm (as is found in the Appendix) by listing the many meetings he has

attended this past Masonic year, particularly the Grand Communications of manyother Grand Lodges, meetings of other Masonic Bodies and the North AmericanConference of Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries, as well as the Canadian

Conference of Grand and District Grand Lodges.

We concur with the Grand Master's decision regarding the Committee onFraternal Relations - that background knowledge based on first-hand experience is

required, and so future decisions regarding fraternal relations should be based on a

recommendation by the Past Grand Masters of our Grand Lodge.

As far as proxies are concerned, and because some complaints have been received

regarding the use of proxies, the Grand Master directs that this year, on a trial basis,

the scrutineers will issue the lodge ballots to a prop^erly designated proxy no earlier

than one hour and a half prior to the closing of registration. He also reminds us that

the ballot boxes for the election of Grand Lodge Officers must remain open until

4:50 or 5:50 p.m., depending on the time period allotted to the district meetings.

In the portion of his Address on Lodge Finances, the Grand Master records somesalient facts. He correctly states that the role of Grand Lodge is to maintain

uniformity in the lodges and to point out deficiencies in financial control that might

lead to problems. He refers specifically to the fact that a lodge should not grant Life

Memberships without due safeguards, and suggests that each lodge avail itself of the

expertise in financial matters to be found among its own members.

We agree to the Grand Master's granting of special dispensations, under certain

circumstances, and that changes be made in the Book of Constitution to reflect this

Page 143: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 135

Constitution and Jurisprudence consider a method whereby individual lodges would

have sufficient time to fully debate any proposed Notices of Motion to be presented

at the Grand Lodge Communication.

It is highly commendable that our Grand Master has met on several occasions

in an informal manner with groups of Masons to discuss mutual problems and

facilitate an interchange of ideas. He has indicated his willingness to be present at

further informal meetings, in order that any barriers existing between the Committees

of Grand Lodge and the brethren might be removed, due to the informal nature of

such gatherings.

The Grand Master concludes his excellent Address with a section on lodge

management and a fine philosophical approach to the problems facing our great

fraternity. He makes the important distinction between leadership and management

and directs the lodges to operate with this distinction in mind. He reminds us fittingly

about Open Houses and the Mentors Programme - the former to enable the public

to become t>etter acquainted with Masonry and the latter as an effective means of

instruction for the candidate on his introduction to Masonry. He directs us to involve

our wives and families more in Masonic affairs and states that "the Masonic family

must mesh with the personal family and society in general. Masonry must enter

the 21st Century as part of the main stream of our personal lives."

As a committee, we vigorously applaud our Grand Master for his fine and

comprehensive Address, express our thanks to him for his excellent leadership over

the past year and pray that the Most High will grant him continued health and

energy to lead us in his second year of office and enable him to continue to make

a most outstanding contribution to our beloved Craft.

Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONPUBLIC INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS

This Report was presented by V.W. Bro. W. Norman Buckingham,

Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by V.W.

Bro. Buckingham, it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Page 144: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

136 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The principal effort of this committee during the past year was the design,

production and distribution of a membership survey. With the co-operation of the

lodge secretaries involved, a four-page form was mailed in April to the 2,678

members of 12 lodges located throughout the jurisdiction.

The number of responses received at the time of preparing this report indicates

participation will far exceed the 20 percent originally anticipated which was, by

accepted standards, an optimistic estimate. Time and effort will be required to

properly assess the replies so that the information contained can be put to use for

the maximum benefit to the Order.

In scanning the first returns, however, certain patterns appear to be already

established. These include:

• fellowship exceeds everything else as a reason to attend lodge

• next to fellowship, the most appreciated aspect is a worthwhile social

period before or after lodge

• news of the lodge, of lodge events and of the members is the main reason

given for reading the summons• the next reason in importance is to find out who is joining

• the most prevalent suggestion is that the lodge should make itself and

Masonry better known in the community.

This last item supports the efforts of many lodges that have been working on the

image of Masonry for some time, and of others in the past two years that have asked

for guidance and assistance in public relations matters.

This committee suggests that the time has come for greater support, including

that of the committee, to be given to lodges interested in creating an improved

standard of public knowledge and understanding of Masonry.

The committee has recommended for the Grand Master's consideration that a

pamphlet on Freemasonry, designed especially for the members' families, be madeavailable. Family interest and support continues to be of vital importance and can be

especially influential on a member's involvement in lodge affairs, and upon the

intentions of prospective candidates within the family.

The suggested pamphlet would assist lodges in their efforts to gain interest and

support by providing a better understanding of the Craft. It would be directed at the

wives with a special message to the wives of new members, but would serve also as

an information piece for all members of the family including sons, brothers,

grandsons and nephews.

A second recommendation made to the Grand Master for his consideration is

that an annual report be issued by Grand Lodge for distribution to the membershipin the latter part of each year. This report, timed to follow the Annual

Page 145: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 137

Communication of Grand Lodge, would carry messages and information considered

to be of importance and interest to the majority of the members. It would not

attempt to provide the depth nor scope of material and information contained in the

"Proceedings." Its purpose would include:

• providing the membership with a greater feeling of organizational unity and

a sense of involvement;

• providing an identical message concerning the affairs of the Craft to all

members, on a regular basis, simultaneously.

Its contents would include:

• a message from the Grand Master based on the points covered in the GrandMaster's Address at the Annual Communication, plus other items of

importance;

• a message from the Deputy Grand Master on items within his concern;

• the introduction of the new Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master onelection years and reference items on each in alternate years;

• highlights and achievements of the past year;

• highlights and features of programs being introduced;

• administrative and policy changes;

• statistical information;

• condensed financial statements and report.

This report is respectfully submitted on behalf of the Committee.

W. NORMAN BUCKINGHAMChairman

REPORT OF THE DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. R. T. Runciman, Chairman,

and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro.

Runciman, it was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. «fe A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Your committee wishes to report that no matters have been referred to it for

consideration at this Annual Communication. There are no doubt matters which are

in process but have not yet reached the stage of being referred to the committee.

In the past it has been the position of this committee to urge upon all membersof the Craft that where a Masonic offense has been committed that it be prosecuted

Page 146: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

138 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

pursuant to the Book of Constitution. The committee has been asked from time to

time for guidance with reference to Masonic charges. The advice is given but it must

be remembered that the ultimate decision rests with the Lodge and Grand Lodge is

most reluctant to interfere with the autonomy of the lodges in this regard.

Often allegations are made without any factual basis to substantiate a Masonic

charge. The advice given has always been not to rush into a matter but to await the

judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction and then to found the Masonic

charge on the finding of that court. Once the matter has been adjudicated upon by

a court of competent jurisdiction and any appeals have been disposed of the matter

is res judicata and the Masonic trial can proceed.

Your committee urges all members who are contemplating basing a Masonic

charge on allegations of adultery or matrimonial misconduct to be extremely cautious.

This cannot be overemphasized. Divorce proceedings are seldom based on allegations

of adultery and if they are the divorce decree will be silent as to the grounds uponwhich it is based. Consequently, one cannot use a certified copy of a divorce decree

as the foundation for a Masonic charge. Allegations and assumptions are extremely

easy to make but very difficult and sometimes impossible to prove.

At the Annual Communication in 1989, the Book of Constitution was amended

to permit an errant Brother to quietly withdraw from the Craft without the necessity

of a Masonic trial. The Brother to whom a Certificate of Severance has been granted

is in the same position as a Brother who has been indefinitely suspended, should he

seek to be restored to membership in the Craft.

When one addresses the matter of a Certificate of Severance with an errant

Brother, one must be most careful not to say or do anything which has the slightest

hint or suspicion of undue influence or coercion. The Certificate of Severance is an

expression of Masonic charity in permitting a Brother to withdraw without publicity

or embarrassment to himself or his family. Certificates of Severance were granted last

year and they resolved, with Masonic dignity, rather unpleasant situations.

Your committee wishes to express its thanks to the Grand Secretary and his staff

for their assistance in attending to the routine matters which regularly arise and

require attention.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted.

REPORT OF THE GRAND HISTORIAN

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. W. E. McLeod, Chairman,

and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro.

McLeod, it was received.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the GrandLodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It is appropriate that I should begin by expressing my gratitude to the GrandMaster for once again appointing me to this office. Its duties are adequately specified

in the Book of Constitution, in section 120: "[He] shall from time to time compile

and preserve a record of all matters connected with the history of Grand Lodge."

There are a number of issues that might properly be addressed on this occasion.

One, a very important one, might be to review the way in which lodge fees and

Grand Lodge dues have been increased firom year to year, all the while failing to

keep pace with increases in the cost of living. But perhaps one other topic is

especially suitable for us to ponder today. Last year marked the twenty-fifth

anniversary of the charitable foundation established by our Grand Lodge, and we all

remember the feeling of pride with which we heard, just twelve months ago, that the

fund-raising campaign had surpassed its target of one million dollars. By way of

celebration, the Directors decided to produce a history of the Foundation for

distribution at this Annual Communication. So we might take advantage of some of

the research that went into it, and say a few words about the events that led up to

the formation of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario.

Freemasonry has many functions, but one of them clearly lies in the field of

benevolence. The ritual says that Masonry patiently ministers "to the relief of want

and sorrow," and calls upon its members to "exercise that virtue" which Masons

"profess to admire," that is to say charity; it instructs them to extend "relief and

consolation to [their] fellow creatures in the hour of their affliction."

All over the world Freemasons have been providing assistance to those less

fortunate than themselves for four hundred and fifty years. The regulations of the

operative stonemasons, even as early as the year L'540, say that a stranger is to be

given work or else refreshed with money to bring him to the next lodge. In Scotland,

in 1670, the lodge at Aberdeen pledged itself to make contributions to the MasonBox, for the support of distressed brethren and the education of their children. In

England, in 1686, a local historian of Wiltshire stated that whenever a Freemason

falls into financial difficulty, "the brotherhood is to relieve him." In Ireland, in 1688,

we have a report from Dublin that the members of the Fraternity of Freemasons had

recently presented a "well stuffed" purse of charity to a destitute brother. In 1724 the

Premier Grand Lodge in London decided that every lodge should take up a monthly

collection for a general charity fund to assist poor brethren. In 1733, in

Page 148: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

140 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Massachusetts, the by-laws of the first lodge in Boston specified that each memberwas to pay at least two shillings per quarter for the relief of brethren who had fallen

upon evil times. In 1781, in Nova Scotia, the Masters of the three lodges in Halifax

were directed to act as a Charity Committee, to assist Masons who had escaped fromthe American Revolution. And in what is now Ontario, the Upper Canada Gazette

for 28 June 1797 told of a lodge that had set up a fund to help Freemasons' widows,

and to educate orphans and the children of poor brethren. The picture is universal

and consistent.

The Grand Lodge of Canada was founded in 1855. From almost the very

beginning there is evidence of traditional Masonic benevolence. In 1863 a Benevolent

Fund was established and its procedures were worked out by the efforts of the first

Chairman of the Committee on Benevolence, Otto Klotz (who lived 1817-1892). It

was intended to provide assistance primarily to Masons who were in need, and to

their families. As years passed, the need continued to grow. In part this help wasprovided out of the General Fund, but, as well, special benevolent funds wereestablished. During the First World War, there was substantial inflation and there

were more appeals from those who needed help. In 1917, to meet these increasing

demands. Grand Lodge increased the fee paid by every lodge for each of its membersfrom $0.50 to $1.00. At the same time, it further decided that eighty cents of this

amount was to be used for benevolent purposes alone and for no other purpose; only

twenty cents was to go into the General Fund. This increase, together with transfers

from the special funds and the General Fund, was enough to meet the charitable

claims made upxDn Grand Lodge. In 1934, at the height of the Great Depression, the

Committee on Benevolence had its heaviest year, reporting that it had considered 867applications for assistance from needy and distressed Masons and their dependentsand that it had paid out $122,146.75. Since that time. Grand Lodge's benevolent

activity has continued, but never at such a high level. In recent years the Committeehas dealt with more than 60 applications annually and has authorized the expenditure

of more than $80,000.00 each year.

But let us return to our main narrative. Time passed and, in 1953, when the total

capitation levy was raised to $1.10, eighty cents was still reserved for benevolent

purposes only. In the years that followed the Second World War, a new factor cameinto play. Government agencies began to increase their support of social security

benefits in such areas as old age pensions and hospital insurance. This meant that

there were fewer demands on the resources of Grand Lodge and both the numberand the amounts of its benevolent grants began to decrease, without neglecting anyworthy cases.

This had one result that might have been foreseen. At the Annual Communica-tion of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario in 1960, the GrandTreasurer pointed out that the resources of Grand Lodge now included $72,214.60

that, according to the Constitution, could be used only for benevolent purposes. This

reserve had been building up for four years and it seemed likely to continue to doso. He therefore introduced a constitutional amendment to increase the dues from$1.10 to $1.20, but to reduce the amount given annually for benevolence by every

Mason from eighty cents to sixty cents.

Page 149: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 141

Even this was not sufficient to check the accumulation of benevolent reserves for,

within a year, another $24,000.00 had been added. Clearly something had to be done.

Here again there was ample Masonic precedent. From time to time, as opportunity

has arisen. Freemasons had directed their benevolent activities to non-Masons as well

as to their own. This probably began with help for victims of wars and natural

disasters, such as the Franco-Prussian War (1871) and the Chicago Fire (1872), for

both of which our Grand Lodge had made contributions. Other Masonic jurisdictions

had established charitable trusts or foundations which could call upon the Craft's

resources for the benefit of the community at large. There was, for example, the

Masonic Medical Research Laboratory in Utica, New York and the Masonic Cancer

Clinic at the University of Minnesota, both of which had their cornerstones laid in

1957. Experience had shown that these organizations worked best when they were

separate from and independent of strictly Masonic benevolence.

And so, after the Annual Communication in 1961, the Grand Master appointed

a Special Committee to review the way in which the annual fee was apportioned and

to consider the establishment of a foundation or charitable trust. In its report a year

later, this committee recommended that Grand Lodge should adopt more flexible

procedures to provide for benevolent grants and that it should take such steps as

might be necessary to establish "a Foundation or Irrevocable Charitable Trust." TheChairman noted that such a Trust might be expected to draw its funds from various

sources such as, for example, transfer from the General Fund of Grand Lodge,

annual appropriations of a fixed proportion of the capitation levy and contributions

from individuals. He further recommended that a second Sp>ecial Committee should

be appointed to study all the details involved.

The new committee held meetings throughout the year and, at the next Annual

Communication in 1963, two decisive steps were taken. In the first place, in order

to prevent the further accumulation of funds that could not be used, a constitutional

amendment was adopted dropping the benevolent reservation completely from the

annual dues, the fee being left at $1.20. Henceforth the entire capitation levy would

be deposited in the General Fund of Grand Lodge, with no px)rtion being spiecifically

designated for benevolent purposes. In the second place, a resolution was adopted

to authorize a third committee "to set up a foundation by private Act of Parliament

of the Province of Ontario, if possible, of such form, powers and purposes as the

committee might determine." Arid this was the origin of the Masonic Foundation of

Ontario, of which we are so proud.

Without in any way minimizing the achievement of others who worked towards

the establishment of the Foundation, four men may be looked upon as its real

Founders, the ones who conceived the vision, worked for its realization and acted as

its first executives. In some way these four men exhibited a remarkable similarity.

They were all lawyers, all graduates of Osgoode Hall Law School, all King's Counsels,

all active in community affairs and benevolent activities. It is appropriate to recall in

loving memory the names of Richard Coulton Berkinshaw (1891-1970), the real

"father" of the Foundation; Norman Warriner Byrne (1895-1973), its first Secretary-

Treasurer; Russell Williams Treleaven (1887-1970), its first President; and Donald

Methuen Fleming (1905-1986), who provided valuable help and support.

Page 150: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

142 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

The Masonic Foundation now has capital funds of over $3,000,000.00 and it uses

those funds for various purposes: the provision of bursaries to students in colleges

and universities, the support of autistic homes, Programme VOICE for Hearing

Impaired Children, and the development of the cochlear implant - the bionic ear -

and this new venture, the peer education plan for warning our young people against

the dangers of substance abuse, and the various local projects sponsored by individual

lodges and districts.

These remarks are intended to remind you of the reason why the Masonic

Foundation came into being and of some of its activities. It is important to remember

that the Foundation is in no sense in rivalry or conflict with Grand Lodge. Even

though its administration is established under Provincial Statute, and is necessarily

separate from that of Grand Lodge, it works in close harmony with Grand Lodge

and is in fact the primary means by which the Masons of Ontario extend their

charitable outreach into the community at large. The Foundation's story is told in

considerably more detail in its official history, which goes under the title of For the

Cause of Good. We commend it to your attention.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted.

WALLACE McLEODGrand Historian

REPORT OF THE MASONIC FOUNDATIONOF ONTARIO

M.W. Bro. N. R. Richards, President, presented the following Report,

and on motion, seconded by R.W. Bro. F. J. Bruce, it was received by

Grand Lodge.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand

Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Introduction

I think it appropriate to begin this report by making reference to W. K Bailey

and E. C. Steen, two long serving directors of the Foundation, who retired a year

ago. The Foundation is indebted to these committed, conscientious members whogave generously of their time and leadership. Director Lome Pacey has requested to

be relieved of his duties at the close of this session. We are sorry to lose the

sensitivity and understanding he brought to the Foundation about the northern region

that he knows so well. The Foundation records its sincere appreciation to each of

them.

The fund raising project "Help Nip Drugs in the Bud" was very successful. The

Page 151: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 143

campaign closed December 31, 1989, and $1,189,398 were contributed. Each lodge

in the Grand Jurisdiction was advised of the success of the campaign and appropriate

recognition was conveyed to individuals and lodges for their generous support to it.

Director James Cassie and all those associated with him in the fund raising project

are assured of our appreciation for their assistance and leadership.

Those who assembled in the Canadian Room of the Royal York Hotel onTuesday, July 18th, 1989, will long remember the Celebration of Youth programmewhich marked the success of the fund raising effort. Director John Woodburn andhis committee organized an evening featuring the youth of our country. It was a very

satisfying long-to-be-remembered evening. M.W. Bro. William R. Pellow along with

hundreds of brethren and their ladies, including distinguished visitors from several

Grand Jurisdictions, were present to enjoy the happy event.

Director Woodburn compiled a review of the programme and it was published

as an addendum to the 1989 Foundation Report and was made available to lodges

in early November.

Organization

The Executive Committee met on July 26, 1989, to consider a pattern of

organization that would provide an opportunity for as many of our brethren as

possible to become informed about the work of the Foundation. A grouping of

districts into regions was developed and a Foundation Director assigned to each of

the regions. The following pattern of regions emerged.

Regional Meetings

During the year a regional meeting was convened by a director assigned to a

region. The purpose of the meeting was to review and discuss Foundation

programmes with the D.D.G.M.s and the District Foundation Representatives so that

they would be advised about and familiar with Foundation programmes. The

Foundation representatives were asked to convene a similar meeting for the district

to which they had been appointed and meet with the Worshipful Masters and lodge

representatives. The next step was to have an information evening about Foundation

activities in each lodge.

Each of the Regional Directors have reported atxjut their reaction to and

impressions of the regional approach. The suspicion that there is a need to

communicate more effectively about Foundation programmes has been confirmed.

The advice of Benevolent Committee Chairman Wayne Elgie to elucidate on the

relationship between the Grand Lodge benevolent programmes and those of the

Foundation is recognized. The integration of the efforts of the Foundation with those

of Grand Lodge cannot be overemphasized.

Page 153: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORO>a"0, ONTARIO, 1990 145

Programmes

The programmes of the Foundation fall into three categories: Help Nip Drugs

in the Bud, Ongoing and District Projects.

"Help Nip Drugs in the Bud"Activities established using funds contributed during the Help Nip Drugs in the

Bud campaign have been developed through the following agencies: Council on Drug

Abuse (C.O.D.A.); Parents Against Drugs (P.A.D.); Alcohol and Drug Concerns

(A.D.C.).

Directors Frank Bruce and Alan Newell maintained close liaison with the above

agencies and monitored the programmes by each of them.

As a Foundation we should take pride and satisfaction in supporting Peer

Education in our school systems in an effort to combat the tremendous problem of

substance abuse. Mr. Walter Cebrynsky, Project Director, Provincial Peer Education,

served as the lead person in the P.A.D. programme which is offered to grade 7 and

8 students and may focus on either marijuana or alcohol, depending on the need of

a particular school. Mr. Fred Burford, President, Council on Drug Abuse, acted as

the key person in the C.O.D.A. programme which was presented to students in grade

9 and higher grades.

The basic concept of the Peer Education Programme is to have young people

listen to other young people and dialogue with them about their problems. What they

have to say should:

1. Be based in truth

2. Be something of value

3. Recognize that an individual's personal decision is essential

The programmes provide an opportunity to help young people by:

1. Clarifying their individual personal values

2. Learning about the decision making process

3. Hearing valid information about the use of marijuana, alcohol or other

drugs and consider meaningful alternatives

The success of the programme depends upon close co-operation and integration

among the agency, school boards, teachers and students. During the 1989-1990 school

year the P.A.D. and C.O.D.A. programmes were each offered in more than twenty

schools. Directors Bruce and Newell advised brethren when the sessions were being

held in their communities and several availed themselves of the opportunity to

monitor the training sessions.

The directors recommend that the Foundation participate in the P.A.D. and

C.O.D.A. programmes in 1990-1991. Information about having a training session in

a school may be obtained from the district representative and the regional director.

Page 154: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

146 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Support to the third agency (A.D.C.) was administered by Mr. Walter Coulthard

and Mrs. Judy Bowman. Through the use of computer-based programmes

information kits are developed for different age groups to implement integrated

school-based drug education programmes. Funds made available from the Foundation

were used to assist in the development of A.D.C. teaching aids.

Dialogue was carried on with the Alliance For a Drug Free Canada which was

established in 1988 under the chairmanship of E. Douglas Grindstaff, President,

Procter and Gamble Inc. The Foundation is pleased to be aware of the Alliance and

its strategy and notes how the Masons of Ontario might become involved in a

programme. There can be no doubt that as Masons we share a common concern

with the Alliance in attempting to change Canadian attitudes that the use of illicit

drugs becomes socially unacceptable. Director James Cassie succeeded Director Frank

Bruce as liaison between the Foundation and the Alliance for a Drug Free Canada

in May of 1990.

Ongoing ProgrammesThe Foundation continued to make grants to Boy Scouts of Canada (Ontario

Division), Girl Guides of Canada (Ontario Division), 4-H Council of Canada (Ontario

Division), and the Canadian Cancer Society. From the time the Foundation was

established projects such as Bursary, Hearing Research, Voice for Hearing for

Impaired Children and Autistic Homes have received major funding. A director of

the Foundation serves as a liaison officer and co-ordinates the work of these special

projects. The following reports have been prepared by the director assigned to the

project and reflect the activities related to it during the past year.

Report on activities for the year 1989-1990. This year your committee distributed

a total of 92 bursaries to students on 29 campuses, with an aggregate value of

$51,300. (For the sake of comparison, we may note that last year 89 students on 33

campuses received awards totalling $46,980.) The disposable funds were totally

expended well before the end of the fiscal year, and at least ten applicants would

have been turned away had not the Foundation received a grant of $5,200,

specifically designated for bursaries, from the Henry Herbert Memorial Benevolence

Fund of Shamrock Lodge No. 533, G.R.C. W. Bro. Henry Edward Herbert was

initiated on 7 April 1917, served as Master of his lodge in 1933, and was at one time

President of the Central Masonic Bureau. At his death on November 9, 1978, he left

a generous bequest to Shamrock Lodge, which became available after his estate had

executed certain other responsibilities. We may venture to hope that the fund's

trustees will continue to look with favour on the activities of the Foundation.

The committee must express its gratitude to Victoria College in the University

of Toronto, which has subsidized the Foundation by allowing the chairman access to

its word processors, and by providing secretarial assistance. We must also thank our

local representatives - in most instances the District Deputy Grand Masters - whovisited the institutions of higher learning, met the students, and made the

presentations. We are particularly indebted to the Student Awards Officers at the

several universities and colleges, the ones who locate deserving candidates, and

Page 155: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 147

adjudicate the applications.

One Example: It may be of interest to mention one particular applicant, who is

by no means unique. This is a student at one of our Ontario universities. The details

are set forth in several letters that came to the Foundation. First, the Awards Officer

explained the situation.

The student is in dire need of help. Her Ontario Student Assistance

Programme application was rejected by the Ministry. Her parents do not

feel that she needs post-secondary education because she is a girl. She

worked many hours part-time, and as a result suffered both physically and

mentally. In fact, she ended up in hospital and could not write two of her

examinations. This year, she is reluctant to work part-time because of her

past experience, and she faces expenses she cannot cover. Because her

parents arbitrarily refuse to assist her, the Ministry also refuses to assist,

and consequently she finds herself in great difficulty.

After receiving one of our awards, the student wrote a letter of acknowledgement.

I recently received a bursary from your organization. The two gentlemen

who presented it were very kind and enthusiastic. This will greatly

improve my present living conditions. Since I have to suppx)rt myself

through university, my funds are very scarce. The $500 which you have

provided will be used to pay the rest of my tuition. This will make other

funds available to buy proper groceries. I will therefore be able to eat

good healthy meals and will not have to worry constantly about financial

security.

And the District Supervisor of Benevolence submitted a report.

I was privileged to accompany the D.D.G.M. when we presented the

cheque to the student. Her joy and gratitude were touching indeed. If

only our brethren could see how much good the Foundation is

accomplishing with these bursaries, I know they would be more generous

with their donations. This student needs all the help we can provide. Her

determination to pursue her studies, despite rejections by her family of

even the most modest request for financial aid, is inspiring. She required

medical aid, an aspirator for a respiratory condition, that cost about $30;

it was denied by her father, who claims that he loves her but does not

want her educated! She appears to me to need funds to help maintain

her strength. Lack of proper nourishment is apparent. It was not myintention to become melodramatic, but after seeing her appearance and

listening to the Awards Officer I wonder what else we can do.

Clearly, the Foundation's bursary programme is filling a real need.

A Look to the Future: For at least a decade the Foundation's maximum award

has been set at $600; very occasionally your committee has exceeded this amount.

Page 156: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

148 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

always with misgivings. Does $600 have the same value now that it had ten years

ago? For the past six years the total amount that the Foundation has paid out in its

regular programme of bursaries has ranged between $42,000 and $50,000. Is $50,000

worth what it was in 1984? Our governments, both federal and provincial, keep

telling us what a high priority they set on quality education and universal accessibility.

A nice philosophical posture, with which we can all agree. How does it work in

reality? The government of Ontario, which, in general, sets tuition fees for post-

secondary institutions, said this spring that university tuition fees are to be increased

next year by eight percent. The proposed federal Goods and Services Tax will, for

the first time, impose a seven percent tax on all books, including text books for

students. The federal budget that was brought down on February 20 announced that

federal transfer payments to Ontario for health care and post-secondary education

will be cut by more than $300 million for next year, and more than $500 million in

the following year. The money will have to come from somewhere, and the Ontario

Federation of Students predicts that tuition may go up by another seven percent for

next year. Are students' incomes for part-time work going up that much? Arescholarships and bursaries? I think we all know the answer to those questions!

Clearly, the Foundation is not in a position to do all that will be needed, but it

must increase its involvement substantially. One may hope that it will be able to take

a hard look at the projects and policies that it plans to espKDuse during the nineties,

and that it will take steps to ensure that its bursary programme maintains somevestige of contact with the real needs of the students.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

Report Hearing Research Project 19901. Basic Research

There have been some very important discoveries with regard to the time delay

for nerve impulses to travel from the cochlea (hearing organ in the ear) to the mid-

brain on electrical stimulation of the ear. This information, which is about to be

published, will be of value in designing new types of an electrical stimulator. This

information will allow processors to be built which more accurately reflect normalhearing processes.

There are plans to test some novel cochlear electrode designs of the engineering

group at Queen's University in Kingston. Much of the behavioural testing equipmenthas been funded by the Masonic Foundation of Ontario.

The third area of research is an examination of the auditory cortex of profoundly

deaf animals. This research will eventually lead to a greater understanding of the total

capabilities of the auditory system in profoundly deaf persons and what can beexpected from artificial electrical stimulation of the system.

2. Applied Research and Technological DevelopmentDuring the preimplantation period in the Sunnybrook Hospital adult cochlear

Page 157: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 149

implant programme, a number of tests may be carried out to verify that the patients

will benefit from a cochlear implant. During this period of investigation, there are a

number of research projects which are ongoing and supported by the MasonicFoundation of Ontario. These tests are trying to evaluate the degree of auditory

nerve survival in the profoundly deaf patient as patients with a high degree of nerve

survival do well with a cochlear implant and those with pxxjr nerve survival may not

benefit significantly at all.

They are also evaluating new types of speech processors.

3. Clinical Cochlear Implant Activities

The facility at Sunnybrook Hospital for implant testing was provided by the

Masonic Foundation of Ontario. They have assessed about 70 patients and 14 have

received the full implant device. These patients are being followed up continuously

and with few exceptions are benefitting enormously from their devices. There are a

number of patients on a waiting list which can be dealt with when the hospital

resources become available.

At the Hospital for Sick Children, the children's programme has been established

over the past nine months. The selection and testing before implantation for children

is very extensive and more difficult to carry out than for adults. So far there have

been 30 inquiries but they have only completely tested 5 patients. Two implant

procedures have been carried out but because of an unforeseen anatomical problem

one was not successful. The second patient was successfully implanted in February

1990 and is doing extremely well. This programme is not funded by the Ministry of

Health and some Masonic Foundation funds have been used to provide technical

equipment needed for the programming of implant devices and some of the testing

of patients.

One of the burning issues with regard to cochlear implants at the present time

is the question of patient selection. At this time a major review of scientific data

regarding this question is being carried out with the aid of the Masonic Foundation

funds. This involves literature searches through computer data bases as well as

communication with individuals in U.S., European and Australian implant groups.

Respectfully submitted.

Report of Voice for Hearing Impaired Children Project:

The Voice programme continues to grow. The Toronto office is receiving

requests fi-om all parts of Canada and the U.S.A. as to how the programme works

in Ontario.

The Executive Director of Voice, Rosemary Pryde wishes to express the sincere

thanks of their Board for the continued financial support from the Masonic

Foundation - the Masons of Ontario.

Page 158: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

150 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

This programme (Voice) is now reaching hundreds of families through

appearances on radio, television and community newspapers.

Voice (Ontario) have now compiled the first ever directory of Health and

Educational Services for Hearing Impaired Children in Ontario with the view of

helping the hearing impaired and handicapped.

The Itinerant Auditory-Verbal Therapy Programme has now added Sarnia,

covering and serving thirty-one families in London, Sarnia and Timmins. Therapist

Laurie Parent travels to these centres to work with the children. New children are

being added regularly. It is a hope that with a new Chapter being started in Thunder

Bay, the Masons of the area will take a hand in making it a success. Voice states

that a number of children in the Thunder Bay area have now been identified as

hearing impaired.

The parent groups who form the backbone of Voice are grateful for the

assistance that the Masons of Ontario have provided. They are faced with the

challenge to raise funds for their itinerant budget for 1990 - the sum of $78,000,

with a total provincial budget of $203,300.

The London Chapter of parents are now working with the University Hospital to

establish a p^ermanent Auditory-Verbal Therapy Clinic and have also had discussions

with Masons of the London Districts for assistance.

V.W. Bro. Roy Doherty, Masonic Foundation Representative for Toronto District

3, has worked hard with the seven Toronto Districts to promote the Foundation and

has held several meetings with the Toronto Chapter of Voice, getting lodges

interested in the work of the local Voice programme. W. Bro. Barry Young, Masonic

Representative for Toronto District 7 has put together a team to work on a fund

drive for next fall to assist the Toronto Chapter of Voice.

The Voice programme now has three permanent Auditory-Verbal therapy Clinics

in the Toronto area: Sick Children's Hospital, Credit Valley Hospital and North YorkGeneral Hospital. Presently they are overtaxed with more children than they can

handle, with a number coming from outside the Toronto area. The Ottawa Chapter

has also repxjrted an overflow of children for treatment. The Toronto Chapter is nowlooking to increase the number of therapists at North York from two to four.

I must add that the need to care for hearing impaired children is growing. TheMasons of Ontario can be proud of their part in funding the Voice programme. Just

as this and our other programmes grow, so must the help from the Masons of

Ontario grow.

Respectfully submitted.

Report of Project on Autistic HomesFor the past few years the Kerry's Place Annual Report has been filled with

Page 159: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 151

exciting information about various new programmes and centres that have openedup across Ontario, bringing innovative services to people with autism with the help

of donations by your organization and others. As much as new services were needed,

the rapid expansion has had a price tag. Running an operation that has quadrupled

in size while maintaining the same number of senior managers has placed a lot of

strain on our resources.

In order to preserve our high standards of quality the Board has spent the past

year developing a strategic plan for the 90's that will assist Kerry's Place to better

serve the ever growing waiting list. Part of the plan was to increase the administrative

support by elevating the Executive Coordinator to Executive Director and adding a

new senior position of Programme Coordinator to sup)ervise quality assurance and

staff training and development. We are happy to say that the Ontario government

agreed to fund the new position and the personnel are now hired.

Your donation last year helped Kerry's Place make a video tape to be used in

fund raising for our next two major capital projects. Kerry's Place CommunityServices (which provides support to families of children living at home) has outgrown

its headquarters at Maple. In four short years, the number of clients has gone from

4 to 33. The first capital project will provide new office space for the programme and

the resource centre and library.

Adam's Place, our first group home for adults, which opened in 1980, is also

/slated for capital expansion to reduce crowded conditions, increase the level of

/ services to current clients, and bring our 1980 model of service into the 90's.

The Kerry's Place Community Services project should be completed by July, 1990,

but the Adam's Place project will take longer since the funding for the additional

operating budget that will be required has not t>een approved as yet.

Respectfully submitted.

C. John WoodbumDirector

District Projects

The Foundation recognizes the excellent ongoing activity of projects carried on

at the district level. Many of these are developed and offered without assistance from

the Foundation. Others may be provided with start-up or seed assistance from the

Foundation to initiate a project.

During the fund raising campaign to support "Help Nip Drugs in the Bud,"

districts were requested to de-emphasize projects in favour of the Grand Jurisdiction

effort. It is encouraging to note increased activity at the district level during the past

year. The Foundation encourages brethren to become involved in projects that have

special significance to pjarticular needs in their community.

Districts interested in requesting Foundation assistance to establish projects should

consult with the Secy-Treasurer of the Foundation through the district representative.

History of the Foundation

On December 10, 1988, the Directors of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario

decided to mark the Foundation's Twenty-fifth Anniversary by publishing a history

of its development and achievements. Director Wallace McLeod was invited andagreed to complete it. He acknowledges the encouragement and help of T. J. Arthur

and W. K. Bailey and of other Directors past and present. The Directors requested

that the history be available for the Annual Meeting of the Foundation in July, 1990,

and we owe a tribute and thanks to Director McLeod that the deadline has beenmet.

The history is entitled "For the Cause of Good." Director McLeod comments that

most Masons will recognize "for the cause of good" as a quotation from the General

Charge of the Ceremony of Installation. He further comments that not everybody will

realize that originally it came from an essay by our Brother Otto Klotz that waspublished in 1868.

I am certain that you join with me in extending sincere thanks to Director

McLeod for compiling "For the Cause of Good" and assure him that we recognize,

appreciate and value his scholarly capabilities.

Secretary-Treasurer's ReportIt is my pleasure to present the Treasurer's Report for the fiscal year May 1,

1989, to April 30, 1990. The attached audited statements show the details of our

operation for the year ending with a Capital Account of $2,868,318, being an increase

of $551,664.

It should be noted that this year our Foundation changed from the cash to

accrual basis of accounting to conform to recommendations of the Canadian Institute

of Chartered Accountants.

Operating expenses for the year totalled $39,549 vs $63,848 for the previous year.

The primary difference being fund raising costs - $9,269 for 1990 vs $29,466 for 1989.

As our fiscal year is at variance with our project fund raising schedule, it is difficult

to make fair comparisons in many of these matters. Audit fees were higher due mainly

Page 161: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO. ONTARIO, 1990 153

to our project which created considerable more accounting. As the Foundation

continues to grow, we must expect to see considerable increase in our administration

costs.

To provide better accountability to its members, the Foundation has set out its

Capital Funds into four areas: 1 - Unrestricted; 2 - 25th Anniversary Fund; 3 - J.

M. Boersma Fund; 4 - E. V. Copeland Fund.

1 - Unrestricted: This is our general Capital Fund which provides funds for our

general committed undertakings - Hearing Research, Voice for Hearing Impaired

Children, Autistic Homes, Bursary Programme, etc.

2 - 25th Anniversary Fund: Income from this fund is restricted to provide support

for Drug and Alcohol Abuse Programme.

3 - J. M. Boersma Fund: A small fund - the income from which is transferred to the

General Fund and is used primarily for bursaries.

4 - Edward Vernon Copeland Bursary Fund: A Memorial Fund established by M.W.Bro. A. L. Copeland and friends to provide bursary assistance for specific terms in

memory of his son, the late E. Vernon Copeland.

For the past two years contributions to our General Fund have been very low.

This is due to gifts being directed to our 25th Anniversary Fund. This present fiscal

year should see better growth in this area.

Bequests for 1989 - 1990 fiscal year were excellent - $101,932. This is an

important component of our fund raising programme that requires more serious

attention. A bequest, large or small, does in fact live on in perpetuity. It should give

Masons comfort in the knowledge that their gift will continue to give creditability to

our beloved Craft.

Investment income received from all sources (not including accrued interest)

amounted to $251,845.41. With such a heavy flow of new funds coming in from our

25th Anniversary Fund it is not practical to make comparisons with the previous year

nor is it possible to determine fairly the rate of p)ercentage return on the total

investments.

It is proper that I should bring to the attention of the membership at this time

the following regarding our investment portfolio.

Cost value of our Bond Investments, not including T-Bills, is $2,448,048 vs market

value (April 30) of $2,320,668, a negative difference of $127,380. This is due to the

affect on bonds of the very high rate of interest in short term investments: i.e. T-

Bills, Commercial Paper. As it is the practice of the Foundation to hold bonds to

maturity this has no effect on our future income. Our equity investments, despite a

down market, shows a $26,604 capital gain.

Page 162: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

154 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Our charitable disbursements for the fiscal year were:

District Projects $ 14,496

General (page 8) 77,500

Anniversary Project 70,000

Bursaries 50,800

$212,796

Charitable disbursements were down $52,996 from the previous year. A $20,000

payment to our Hearing Research was deferred until mid May of our current year.

This was due to a shortage of funds. District projects due to our Drug and Alcohol

Project have been held to a minimum. It is expected District Projects and other

charitable undertakings will be back to a more normal level this fiscal year.

In Memoriam Gifts: Such gifts either by a lodge or an individual provides a

practical means of expressing one's respect for a departed friend. A card can be left

at the chapel indicating the Foundation has received an In Memoriam contribution,

or by mailing the contribution with the name and address of person(s) to receive the

acknowledgement to the Foundation, which will mail a notice accordingly. Lodges and

their members should seriously consider this practical means of paying one's respect

to the departed.

District or Lodge Projects: District or Lodge Projects provided Masons with an

opportunity to show that Masons care. That Masonry does make a contribution to

the welfare of the community in which it operates not only by helping to finance a

worthy cause but by actively demonstrating its teachings and principles to the

residents in the community.

The Masonic Foundation has come a long way in its short 25 years. There is no

doubt it will continue to grow because our strength is our MEMBERSHIP.

Respectfully submitted.

Appreciation

This report provides you with information about the major activities of the

Masonic Foundation of Ontario during the past year. A report would not be

complete if it did not reflect appreciation to those who made the year a satisfying

and successful experience.

Although the Foundation operates under an act of the Ontario Legislature it is

also very much a part of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

The support, consideration, concern and help of Grand Master David C. Bradley is

a continuing source of strength and encouragement. The ex-officio directors, Deputy

Grand Master Byrne, Grand Lodge Treasurer Copeland and Benevolence Chairman

Elgie provide a strong mechanism for communication between the Foundation and

Page 163: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 155

Grand Lodge and this is appreciated and is essential to harmonious and effective

relationships.

The work of the Foundation, during the year, was enriched by the appointmentof Jim Cassie, Bob Bamett and Neil Britton as Directors.

Your Directors met on several occasions in facilities provided by Fellow

Associates in Toronto. Our thanks to Bro. Harry Fellow for making a comfortable

and pleasant meeting place available to us.

When I reported to the Board of General Furposes in January, I advised that

dialogue is continuing about the possibility of placing the administrative offices of the

Foundation at the Grand Lodge Building in Hamilton. As recently as June 4, 1990,

the Foundation advised the Grand Master of our wish that the discussions becontinued and that we explore the possibility of locating the operation of the

Foundation at Hamilton at an appropriate time. It would be inappropriate to makereference to the discussions that have taken place and the hope that there will be

further study and not recognize the helpful, considerate and thoughtful input of

Grand Secretary Davies.

Working for Masonry is a pleasant, fulfilling experience and is made more so by

the sincere and generous commitment of all who are involved with and support the

Foundation's programmes. The capability, understanding and untiring efforts of

Secretary-Treasurer Jack Arthur, the attention of Directors to their duties, particularly

in a year in which emphasis was placed on organization and testing of a regional

approach, is much appreciated. The work of the District Representatives and the

interest and support of the Masons of Ontario in the Foundation and its programmesis reassuring and satisfying.

I hope you will excuse me for closing with a personal comment. I believe the

future is bright for this Foundation and for Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction. Asmembers of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario let us continue to strive to be a

visible entity and a pillar of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

238 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ONFRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master and the Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M.

of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Your Committee is pleased to report on the reviews of 28 Annual Proceedings

of the more than 125 Grand Jurisdictions with whom we enjoy fraternal relations.

Due to space limitations, not all Proceedings from English sf)ealcing jurisdictions are

reported herein. Your chairman is grateful for the assistance received from R.W.

Bro. Wayne Elgie and R.W. Bro. Fred Branscombe in the preparation of this report.

It is indeed encouraging to learn, even in the face of criticism from without and

declining membership from within, that Freemasonry continues to attract upright menof sound judgement and strict morals. Many jurisdictions are creatively responding

to a number of the traditional problems relating to: finances, administration,

education, leadership, etc; and developing new and innovative programmes to

challenge and encourage p)articipation.

Read about the money saving procedure proposed by the Grand Lodge of

Kansas concerning Masonic jewels; the reapportionment of Masonic Districts in

Montana and the creation of five geographical areas each composed of from 18 to

20 districts by the Grand Lodge of Illinois.

The Grand Lodge Librarian of Massachusetts reports on a number of interesting

activities including the production of braille copies of Masonic books which are

available on loan, helping high school students with term papjers, and assisting

university faculty and graduate students who use the library as a special resource for

research projects; thereby establishing their library as an object of recognition by the

community.

The Grand Master of New Mexico attributes a lot of the renewed interest and

enthusiasm to the increase of younger officers in the lodges. The future of the Craft,

according to the Grand Master of Georgia, depends on the dedication to duty by all

officers of every level. The Grand Lecturer of Mississippi reminds us that we must

ever continue to espouse impeccable principles and not rely on any 'gimmick' or

innovation in our time-honoured landmarks, and there must be no compromise in

our selection of candidates; for if ever we deviate from the minutest principle, we can

expect to lose prestige and influence not only in the ranks of Blue Lodge Masonry,

but also an eventual dilution of all, York and Scottish Rite Bodies including the

Shrine.

Alarming statistics are presented in the Proceedings from the Grand Lodge of

California which show for a twenty-month period ending August 31, 1988, 3,193

Page 247: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 239

Entered Apprentice Degrees were conferred, and up to October 10, 1988, more

than 52% had failed to advance. A recommendation was proposed to prepare newProficiency Examinations for advancement. It is interesting to read the response to

this recommendation from the Committees on Jurisprudence, Ritual, Policy and

General Purposes. The Grand Lecturer of the Grand Lodge of the District of

Columbia states that it is the discipline acquired from learning the ritual which can

equip our brethren for the functions of leadership. Further emphasis on the need for

'quality of the work' is found in the review of the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge

of Georgia.

From the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of England we learn that the size

of a lodge should be such as to permit a Mason no more than an average of ten

years from admission to reach the master's chair. Further reading of this review will

reveal the perils of both a longer and a shorter period. We also learn that a guideline

for 'proper solicitation' reads as follows: "There is no objection to a neutrally worded

approach being made to a man who is considered a suitable candidate for

Freemasonry."

A very important achievement during the past year was the creation of The

Kansas Masonic University, a course of study designed to improve Masonic knowledge

in Kansas.

From the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Alberta, we learn that the

Committee on the Work recommends that the word 'traditional,' where it occurs in

the Obligation of the three degrees, be replaced with the word 'symbolic' It was the

opinion of the Committee that 'symbolic' more accurately describes the penalties.

The Grand Lodge of Hawaii, created with 12 lodges formerly under the

jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of California, was given formal recognition by the

Grand Lodge of England, as was the Grand Lodge of Gabon.

These are but a few of the highlights from the reviews which follow. We hope

they will encourage you to read them in detail that you may be the better informed

of Freemasonry throughout the world.

May I conclude with these words from M.W. Bro. Albert T. Ames, Grand

Master of The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at the laying of the cornerstone of the

Masonic Temple of Fraternal Lodge in the Town of Centerville, May 3rd, 1987:

'The principles of our Craft have stood the test of time. We, the Masonic

Fraternity, have experienced difTiculties in the past just as we have in

our personal lives. However, with a firm belief in the Almighty,

confidence in ourselves and our fellow men, we WILL move forward. . .

Let us show the world that our principles are what our lessons teach.

Let us practice every day outside our Lodge those great moral lessons

Page 248: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

240 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

we are taught in it so that by our actions we will be known as Masons,

for what we are and for what we do. Be proud that you are a Mason -

let the world know that you are a Mason, but above all be a good Masonin thought, word and deed." v,

Respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the Grand Lodge Committee

on Fraternal Correspondence. v.

242 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

ALBERTA - 1989

Grand Master - M.W. Bro. David Alexander Bruce, Presiding

Grand Master - M.W. Bro. Stanley Envin Mottershead, Installed

The Eighty-Fourth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Alberta was

held in the City of Medicine Hat, on June 9, 1989. The Grand Master thanked the

brethren for their support during the past year, and announced his theme for the

1989 Communication: "Democracy, Harmony and Brotherly Love for the Good of

this Craft."

The Grand Treasurer reported that, although there continued to t)e a cash flow

problem, it was less serious than formerly because Grand Lodge was in a better

financial state than had been the case during the previous fiscal year. He considered

that this was due, at least in part, to the establishment of a special assessment

directed to reducing Grand Lodge's dependence on bank overdrafts. He warned,

however, that the Benevolent Fund was shrinking alarmingly: "Unless action is taken,

this fund will disappear within a very few years."

The total membership for the Province of Alberta, according to the Grand

Secretary's Report, fell during 1988 from 12,713 to 12,234 for a net loss of 479

members. The number of lodges remained unchanged at 157, however, because

reduction through amalgamation of lodges was balanced by an increase through the

institution of a lodge under dispensation and the chartering of one formerly under

dispensation. With reference to the amalgamation of lodges, the Grand Master noted

that he had presided over one in June, 1988, but he sounded a note of caution

concerning lodge mergers. "While amalgamations may be the answer to the

attendance and membership problems in some lodges," he said, "it should not be

considered the only solution. It will be necessary to seriously consider other

alternatives when the viability of a lodge is in question."

In his Address to Grand Lodge, M.W. Bro. Bruce referred to several Masonic

issues, which are of concern to him. These include "the attitudes of male adults

towards Freemasonry and other organizations, alcoholic beverages in Masonic Lodges,

more than one blackball, Freemasonry's image in the community, the civil rights

movement and how it applies to Freemasonry." The discussion of these issues at a

recent Conference of Grand Masters of North America served to impress upxDn him

the fact that the challenges being faced by Masons in Alberta are the same as those

facing the Craft in other parts of Canada and the United States.

Speaking of various rulings which he had made during the past year to resolve

specific problems of a local nature, the Grand Master commented on the need for

considerable scope for discretion in making such rulings. He pointed out that the

Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Alberta is particularly helpful in this regard as

it "allows a degree of flexibility in an organization focused upon the needs, wants and

Page 251: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 243

growth of people. We must never lose sight of the fact that we are a volunteer

organization with a corporate entity. The rulings that I have made have been based

upon the need to promote harmony within the Craft as well as with a reasonable

equilibrium of legal interpretation."

The decision of the Grand Lodge of Alberta to establish a Charitable

Foundation was of especial interest. It was stipulated that its objects must be

compatible with the principles and tenets of Freemasonry and that the Foundation

be such as to qualify for registration under the Canadian Income Tax Act. It was

provided, also, that Grand Lodge be the sole shareholder of the new Charitable

Foundation.

Another action which will be of interest to Masons beyond the boundaries of

Alberta was the recommendation in the Report of the Committee on the Work that

the word "TRADITIONAL," where it occurs in the Obligation of the three degrees,

be replaced with the word "SYMBOLIC." It was the opinion of the Committee that

"SYMBOLIC" more accurately describes the f>enalties.

The Select Committee on Community Relations reported on specific community

programmes which are currently being undertaken at the district and lodge level

throughout Alberta. In this connection the Committee indicated that it had not

completed its assignment to determine what community projects are in existence

generally in other Jurisdictions in Canada. It did mention, however, two such projects

with which committee members are familiar. Concerning one of these it was stated:

"A historical park is one of the large projects of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the

Province of Ontario."

M.W. Bro. S. E. Mottershead, following his Installation, addressed Grand Lodge

briefly. He spoke of the dreams of those who were instrumental in founding the

Grand Lodge of Alberta in 1905 and also of the familiar call of the late Martin

Luther King, "I had a dream." The new Grand Master then spoke of his own dream

that, working together in love and harmony, the members of the Grand Lodge of

Alberta would succeed in building a monument that would make them all proud to

be Masons. Then he quoted the following verse, stating that the words of Lord

Baden-Powell expressed his feelings more adequately than he could:

Coining together is a beginning

Thinking is unity,

Keeping together is progress

Working together is success.

The 139th Annual Communication was opened by the Grand Master with a

gavel that had been previously presented to him at a dinner reception hosted by his

Lodge at the San Jose Scottish Rite Temple. The carved dragon gavel with ruby eyes

had a sounding block centred with black jade. The jade had been carved with the

Grand Master's emblem and filled with gold. The Grand Master, following the

Chinese calendar, had proclaimed this the "Year of the Dragon" and his chosen

theme, which he continually stressed throughout his travels was 'The Time Is Now";

alerting the brethren to the problems the Fraternity was experiencing and advising

them that nothing can be accomplished by any Grand Master without the full andcomplete assistance and cooperation of the membership.

Statistics taken from the Grand Master's Address reveal for a twenty-month

period ending August 31, 1988, 3,193 Entered Apprentice Degrees were conferred,

and up to October 10, 1988, more than 52% had failed to advance. In expressing his

concerns, the Grand Master stated that "the majority of those candidates will have

their fees and contributions forfeited for failure to advance and they will be lost to

our membership rolls. I suggest that the main reasons for this are the pressures of

every day living. Society has so changed, that the demands upon one's time have

become critical factors. If this be so why not adjust our ritual to meet this situation

head on. Let us remember that it was in our hearts that we were first prepared to

made Masons and that it is our obligations which make us Masons. It is therefore

my recommendation that the Committee on Ritual be directed to prepare newProficiency Examinations for advancement in the Entered Apprentice and Fellowcraft

Degrees . . . and for a Master Mason to apply to receive any Degree in or be

initiated into any organization, the prerequisite of membership wherein is that a

person be a Master Mason so that the brother need only repeat the obligation anddemonstrate the modes of recognition of the highest degree he has received."

This recommendation was reviewed by three Grand Lodge Committees. TheCommittee on Jurisprudence, to place the matter before the Grand Lodge movedthe adoption of the recommendation, and put forward the necessary changes to the

affected Sections of the California Masonic Code.

The Committee on Policy and General Purposes acknowledged the alarming

statistics and recognized that, in recent years, at least part of the decline in numbersof membership can be attributed to the stringent memorization requirements before

advancing in the degrees. However, the Committee could not indict the present

system of progressing through the Degrees as the culprit. And while this may be the

case, it would be helpful if the statistics were supported by evidence linking them to

the proficiency requirements. Also absent were the results of surveys, if indeed any

had been made, as to the reasons such candidates had failed to advance. It wouldalso have been helpful if reports from other jurisdictions, who had modified their

requirements, had been made available to show the success or otherwise of the

programme.

Tlie Committee therefore recommended a "No" vote.

Page 253: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 245

The Committee on Ritual recognized that a large percentage of Entered

Apprentices do not advance, and acknowledge that some of the losses are due to the

difficulty of the proficiency requirements. On the other hand, the committee believes

that the present proficiency requirements deals with the education of the candidate,

although some of the verbiage used is never referred to again by the candidate unless

he becomes an Officer. Therefore, while the committee would not have drafted the

legislation exactly as proposed, it did agree with the intent of the recommendation

and recommended a "Yes" vote.

The recommendation was subsequently HELD OVER.

In 1987, Grand Master Jack R. Levitt appointed a committee of 15 including

at least one member from each Hawaii Lxxlge with a Grand Lodge of California

Inspector, as observer, to study the feasibility of forming a Grand Lodge of Hawaii.

They were given a three-fold mandate: 1) to learn the will of the majority in Hawaii;

2) if the majority favours, to recommend the mechanics for forming the new Grand

Lodge; and 3) the creation of a budget for the first year's operation, together with

start-up costs.

Comprehensive reports and proposed resolutions were submitted to the Grand

Master for review by Grand Lodge Committees on: Jurisprudence (resolution did not

seek a change in the Constitution or the Ordinances of the Grand Lodge of

California), Policy and General Purposes (recommended a "Yes" vote on the

Proposal), and Finance (in their opinion, the loss of the per capita income generated

by the 2,850 Hawaiian brethren would be offset by a corresponding reduction in the

expenses incurred for Grand Master's Visitation, Travel and Ritual for the Hawaiian

Lodges).

Before a Constitutional Convention for the creation of a new Grand Lodge in

Hawaii may convene, there must first be a majority affirmative vote of by at least 7

of the 12 lodges in Hawaii. Each Master will summon his respective lodge for the

vote in person or by proxy. Furthermore, in casting an affirmative vote, the members

of Hawaii lodges must agree that all costs and expenses relating to the formation of

a new Grand Lodge will t>e paid by each Hawaii Lodge which votes in favour of the

proposition in the proportion that the number of members in each of those lodges

bears to the total number of members of all Hawaii lodges voting in favour of a new

Grand Lodge.

Upon the formation of a sovereign Grand Lodge in Hawaii, such Grand Lodge

shall be recognized by the Grand Lodge of California and all lodges in Hawaii shall

either be subject to the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Hawaii or shall be

considered clandestine by both the Grand Lodge of California and the Grand Lodge

of Hawaii.

The various resolutions for the proposed Grand Lodge of Hawaii were

subsequently adopted.

The Solomon II Program, which was instituted in 1985 in an effort to stem the

tide of declining membership, and which was first reported in our Reviews in 1987,

has been "streamlined" for more efficient administration. Regional Directors have

been replaced by Committee Co-chairmen, and the committee membership reduced

from 16 to 8. The programme has been most successful in those lodges which madea concerted effort to promote its aims and objectives. The net losses were lower this

year than last, but in his address, the Grand Master stated that the reduction of

losses is only part of the total effort; no less important is the addition of new, viable,

and active members to Freemasonry. The annual Solomon II Gala was again

scheduled for the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria,

Virginia. The Grand Master called off all other regular meetings and/or functions

scheduled for that night.

The Grand Lecturer, in his report to Grand Lodge stated "It is our ritual which

makes our organization unique. And it is the disciplines acquired from learning this

work which equip our brethren for the functions of leadership, not all of which

involve ritual. To neglect ritualistic instruction at lodge level or to pawn off the workto the PMs without involving younger, more recently raised Brethren is to endangerthe future of the Lodge as a whole." He then listed three important considerations

to insure a healthy ritualistic situation:

1. Require truly suitable proficiency of entered apprentices and fellowcrafts

2. Motivate proficient Brethren toward earning the Certificate of Proficiency* in the

degrees.

3. Encourage more Junior Officers, Past Masters or not, to attend the School**.

* Brethren are encouraged to advance their knowledge and proficiency after

receiving each degree and to obtain the 'Major Certificate of Proficiency,' without

which no Brother can be Grand Lecturer or serve on the main Committee.

** Strong emphasis is placed on Regional Schools of Instruction. Points are earned

by Lodges and Individual Brethren based on degree of active participation andtotal attendance. Point leaders are published in the Proceedings.

A Special Communication was called for the purpose of receiving the report of

the Search Committee which had been constituted for the purpose of locating moresuitable facilities to house the Grand Lodge office. A suitable building located at

5428-30-32 MacArthur Blvd. N.W. was unanimously approved and a Lodge Office

Page 255: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 247

Building Committee, charged with the responsibly of renovating the building to

accommodate the needs of the Grand Lodge was appointed by the Grand Master.

The magnificent structure is expected to be ready for occupancy early in 1989.

The Public Relations Committee, in their report, stated that at a weekendworkshop retreat held at Front Royal, Virginia, a survey of more than 100 key Blue

Lodge Officers revealed that the greatest potential threats to Masonry in the District

of Columbia included: aging membership, followed by racial problems and other

competitors. As a counter measure, they perceived:

1. That Masonry should be more involved in community affairs;

2. That Masonry should be less secretive;

3. That Masonry should endeavour to present positive aspects of the Craft to the

public;

4. That a data base of information dealing with "the positive aspects and experiences

of Masonry" should be maintained;

5. And that the individual Mason should be involved in spreading the word about

Masonry to the public.

During the year the jewel owned by Past Grand Master Samuel Wallace

Mcintosh was presented to the Grand Lodge by his estate. This jewel has been

refurbished with the addition of a new ribbon, a 14-karate gold bar, and a new

carrying case at a cost of $831.80. The new inscription reads RAYMOND F.

At the annual investiture of Grand Officers of Freemasons' Hall, the Grand

Master stated in his address that Grand Rank is certainly a reward for what has been

done in past years, but as well as being an honour, does also imply an increased

commitment to Masonic affairs in the future.

He made four propositions for the welfare of the Craft. The first relates to the

size of a lodge being such as to permit a Mason no more than an average of 10

Page 256: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

24« GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

years from admission to reach the Master's chair. Less than 10 years leaves a danger

that he will not have absorbed enough of the background to his Freemasonry to be

a useful Master however competent he may be in ritual. If it takes longer, there is

the danger of the aspiring brother becoming frustrated.

Secondly if newly admitted Masons are reasonably young (it matters not if they

are not), a young candidate will have more time to enjoy his Freemasonry and to put

back into the Craft more of what he will have got from it. While rightly disapproving

of improper solicitation (which is a pompous phrase for leaning on men to becomecandidates for Freemasonry) there is a good case for proper solicitation. In 1981 the

Grand Lodge of England developed a guideline which stated:

There is no objection to a neutrally worded approach being made to a

man who is considered a suitable candidate for Freemasonry. There can

be no objection to his being reminded, once, that the approach was made.

The potential candidate should then be left to make his own decision,

without further solicitation or prompting."

This enlightened approach, correctly and sensibly applied, has thrown open doors

which seemed shut but which in reality only needed the slightest push.

Thirdly, once a candidate becomes a Mason we want to keep him, so he must

be encouraged. This applies to candidates of any age, but particularly to the young,

who may be detracted by work or families and find it difficult to give enough time

to their lodge. If they can see a clear path to office and eventually the 'chair' (if they

want it), and a learning curve which is not too steep, then they are more likely to

become enthusiastic Masons and to contribute to their lodge.

The fourth proposition relates to how a lodge should be run, and is designed to

prevent hardening of the arteries. No one, more particularly senior Past Masters,

should be allowed to hang on to office in a lodge for too long. To define "too long"

in those circumstances, "I should aim for five and settle for not much longer than

eight years." By hanging on the officer first robs others of a chance of serving the

lodge, and may even create the myth that he is irreplaceable - which in the event of

his sudden departure is no help at all to his eventual successor.

In respect to the operation of a happy efficiently run lodge, the Grand Master

reminded the brethren of confident ritual, intelligently delivered with the candidate's

benefit in mind rather than the ritualist's, and sparing use of time in meetings and

at dinner. There are few swifter destroyers of enthusiasm than long meetings and

long speeches. He cautioned the avoidance of unnecessary expense so as not to

impoverish brethren or cause their families to suffer financially.

One of Freemasonry's attractions should t>e that it affords plenty of opportunity

for involvement. Although every member of the lodge can not hold office, everyone

can be involved in some aspect of the lodge's activity, and in making his contribution

will gain satisfaction from it.

Page 257: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 249

Two million pound sterling is to be reserved at the rate of 500,000 poundsterling per year to be used for a major charity project in celebration of the GrandPresident's Anniversary in 1992 as Grand Master.

Attendance at lodges under the English Constitution by brethren from other

Grand Lodges was reviewed. It is the Worshipful Master's responsibility to ensure

that only brethren who are members of lodges under recognized jurisdiction may visit

English lodges. Visitors must produce a certificate or documentary proof of masonicidentity provided by their Grand Lodge, should be prepared to acknowledge that a

personal belief in T.G.A.O.T.U. is an essential Landmark of Freemasonry and should

be able to produce evidence of their good standing in their lodges.

Caution was given to those attending lodges overseas, when brethren becomeinvolved with Masonic bodies which the Grand Lodge of England does not recognize

as regular; e.g. in visiting a jurisdiction which quite legitimately so far as it is

concerned, accepts as visitors brethren from Grand Lodges which are not recognized

by the Grand Lodge of England. In this connection, the brethren are reminded that

it is part of their duty as members of the English Constitution not to associate

masonically with members of unrecognized constitution and should such a situation

occur, they should tactfully withdraw. To avoid such potential embarrassment,

brethren should not attempt to make any Masonic contact overseas without having

first checked with the Grand Secretary's office in writing, that there is regular

Freemasonry in the country concerned, and whether there is any particular point

which should be watched.

The failure to take appropriate disciplinary action in the case of three brethren

convicted of robbery and incarcerated in 1980, returned to create great feelings of

disquiet and unease. The welfare, reputation and credibility of the Craft have to be

foremost for those who choose not to discipline themselves with respect to

Freemasonry. Our standards are clearly stated in the question, Who are fit and

proper persons to be made Masons? - Just, upright and free men of mature age,

sound judgment and strict morals.

The new option in disciplinary proceedings of inviting a brother to resign from

the Craft was recommended to be made available to appeals as well as to those whohear disciplinary cases at the first instance.

A series of television programmes which purported to examine various alleged

malpractices were not an impartial balanced objective look at Freemasonry as initially

described in early discussions with the Grand Secretary. In response the Grand

Master suggested that people at large are genuinely interested in Freemasonry. Hedidn't fear that the Craft will be diminished if the public knows more about it.

Courteous explanation about the principles of Freemasonry in private conversation

encourages genuine interest and should lead to greater understanding and support.

The public explanation of Freemasonry must still be left to official spokesmen. The

best ambassadors are the brethren who with their own experience of Freemasonry

as it affects and interests them, apply such to others they live with and work among.

Attempting to explain Freemasonry's importance in modern times is our challenge

today.

The Grand Lodge of Hawaii, created with 12 lodges formerly under the

jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of California, was given formal recognition as was

the Grand Lodge of Gabon.

Grand Master - M.W. Bro. Earl D. Harris, Installed

457 Lodges Membership 81,646

From November 15, 1987, to October 15, 1988, there were eleven Emergent

Communications of the Grand Lodge of Georgia: six were convened for the purpose

of laying or re-laying Cornerstones for Masonic Temples, four were for the

Dedication and Consecration of Masonic Grave Markers and one was for the

Installation of a new Grand Treasurer, because of the resignation of the former

holder of that office. The 202nd Annual Communication of Grand Lodge was

convened on October 25, 1988, in the City of Macon.

In his Grand Master's Address, M.W. Bro. Alvin Earwood discussed the

significance in Masonry of dedication to duty, ritual, education and charity. Of each

of these, he said, it might well be claimed that there is nothing more important in

Masonry. Regarding dedication to duty, he stated that it is imperative that all officers

of every level realize that their duties and responsibilities are no longer a matter of

'free will and accord.' The future of the Craft depends on it.

Becoming proficient in ritual work, he said, should be the first priority of every

Lodge and making certain that this is so must be the first priority of every

Worshipful Master. He noted that signs of deterioration of ritual can be found in too

many llodges. "The modern trend toward an 'open society' in Masonry," he stated,

"has placed less and less emphasis on ritual. If this trend continues. Masonry, even

as we know it today, will slowly be transformed into 'just another civic or social club.'

Masonry deserves a better fate. Masonry is compromised by such an attitude. If weare going to preserve Masonry, a renewed emphasis must be placed upon the secrecy

of the work and the quality of the work."

Since Masonry is defined as a system of morality which, though veiled, is

illustrated by symbols, the Grand Master concluded that the goal of Masonry is

education. He then reminded his listeners that for too many years they had been

more concerned with making members than with making Masons. The result of this

Page 259: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 251

mistake is to be seen in increasing numbers of suspensions and demits. One way to

reduce these, in his view, is by more attention to masonic education so as to makecandidates better informed concerning the history and goals of Masonry.

Finally, the Grand Master spx)ke of the fundamental importance in Masonry ofcharity. He stressed that "The definition of Masonic charity is love, never to beconfused with relief which is one function of charity only. We have become so passive

in our attitudes and our duties to charity that we now attempt to satisfy this duty by

passing the hat, whether the need is for charity or relief." Charity, which is the act

of putting Masonry into practice, is the test by which the Grand Master wouldmeasure the Masonic effectiveness both of a Masonic Lodge and of an individual

Mason.

The Grand Secretary reported that three lodges had been lost by consolidation.

Consequently, the number of Lodges (which had been 460 as of June 30, 1987)

stood at 457 currently. There had been a reduction, also, in the number of membersin the same period from 83,428 to 81,646 for a loss of 1,782 Masons. The current

year was the twelfth consecutive year of membership loss. One interesting statistic in

the Grand Secretary's Report was that there were 22 Lodge Secretaries who hadserved thirty years or longer in that office. One secretary was reported who had,

remarkably, been in office for 58 years!

Following his installation as Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Earl D. Harris closed

Grand Lodge.

From the address of the Grand Orator, R.W. Bro. Robert A. Krause, we read

"Masonrj' is one of the most conservative of all human institutions. This is inherent

in the very foundation stones on which it is built, - the three cardinal virtues,

Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth; and the four tenets of our profession, -

Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice." (This quotation originally appeared

in the Preface for 77ie History of the Supreme Council, 33 °, 1987; by Louis L.

Williams).

What a bombshell of exploding ideas! We are exposed to an avalanche of

thought, a philosophical foundation upon which all else must rest. This philosophical

foundation of Masonry has been built upon a rock and not upon the shifting sands.

Today, we turn our minds, yes our labours, upon that which is of substance for

our fraternal being. Again we read of Brother Williams, Today most Masons are

Page 260: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

252 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

concerned with form, and very few with substance. For every hundred Masonsconcerned with the conferral of degrees, perhaps 5 or 10 think of the underlying

philosophy."

"Our ancient brethren built more nobly than they knew. The Spiritual edifice

they erected with the minds and spirits will prove greater and more lasting than the

towering cathedrals they built with their hands."

The organizational structure of the Grand Lodge of Illinois is unique in that the

jurisdiction is primarily composed of five AREAS or geographical units: Northeastern,

Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western. Each AREA is composed of DISTRICTSranging in number from 18 to 20, and each DISTRICT includes from 3 to 11

LODGES, with an average of 7 lodges per district and 138 lodges per AREA, ADeputy Grand Master is assigned to each AREA, and a District Deputy GrandMaster governs each DISTRICT.

The Proceedings also list all 'Defunct' lodges fi-om the time the Grand Lodgewas formed in 1838 to the present time. Of the 488 Lodges listed, 72 or 14% had

been active for more than 100 years, 360 of the total or 74% were consolidated and

40% of these were from Chicago with the bulk of those consolidations taking place

from 1950 to 1987. A number of these were multiple consolidations, for example:

in 1961, Perserverence No. 973 consolidated with Cornerstone No. 875

1964, Prosperity No. 860-, .. „

1968, Standard No. 873

1978, Cornerstone No. 875 " " Germania No. 182

1987, Germania No. 182* " " Constellation - Edison Park No.974**

**with 350 membersbringing their total to 646

Of the remaining number of defunct lodges, 14% of the warrants were either

surrendered, annulled, revoked or forfeited, and 12% were arrested or there was norecord.

Apparently there is no policy on the size of a lodge, as there are three lodges

with less than 30 members and two lodges with more than 1,000 members.

From the Grand Master's Report, we learn that the 'Honor Lodge Program' is

now in its fifth year and all lodges and districts are striving to show improvement.

A District Honor Lodge is chosen, from which the Area Honor Lodges are

designated. A plaque is awarded at the Annual Meeting of the Grand Lodge to a

representative of each of the area Honor Lodges.

Brother Lawrence D. Inglis, M.W. P.G.M., evaluated the five area HonorLodges and announced that the 'Honor Lodge of the Year* was Fellowship LodgeNo. 89, of the Sixteenth Southern District.

From the Grand Master's Report under State of the Craft - "I see several

things happening in the Craft. Some are good - and some are not. I have, for manyyears in the past and more so in the last year, observed some very enthusiastic

leaders in our Fraternity - brothers who want their lodges to be the very best they

can be. We have, this year, laid cornerstones for and dedicated three new Temples.

The interest in these lodges is high and the looks in the brethren's eyes are saying,

'I knew we could do it.' I have been very proud to visit many small lodges - their

Temples shining with cleanliness. They are working hard to keep their Ritual top

notch. Then, we look at another group of lodges who are 'just hanging in there.'

Regardless of what is suggested, these lodges seem to feel 'they have tried that

before and it just didn't work.' Some of these lodges have in their very midst

brethren who, with the assistance of other lodge members, could turn the lodge

around and become active." The real challenge is motivation.

The Grand Secretary, R.W. Tom Eggleston, begins his report with a quotation

from a speech presented to their Grand Lodge 109 years ago. "Attention has been

directed to some of the dangers that may beset us. We are aware that there are

persons of social and moral standing who seek to level off the walls of our noble

edifice. From them, we have little to fear. We have more cause for alarm within the

Temple." He identifies these causes or enemies as "APATHY, COMPLACENCY,and INDIFFERENCE," and that he believes they were true then and even moretrue today. Reference to these three evil ruffians are found several times throughout

his report.

"Progress is not an accident, but a necessity"; this is from the Report of the

Lodge Service Committee, which reports on the activities of the 428 lodges of the

Grand Lodge of Iowa. The average initiation fees charged by Iowa lodges in 1987

was $59.46 and ranged from $50.00 to $125.00. The average dues in 1987 was $24.21

and ranged from $14.00 to $40.00 (US). The 5 smallest lodges had from 14 to 17

members, and the 5 largest lodges had from 696 to 982 members. Lodges were

encouraged to hold a'Statewide Open House' on September 27, 1987. Many lodges

extended open invitations and the majority of comments were very favourable; not

only did it 'Open the Doors' to discussion among Masons and non-Masons alike, it

created a sense of pride among the members who were involved with the activities.

The new brochure, "Opening the Doors to Freemasonry" was put to good use and

has become very popular.

The fifth year of the 'Lodge of the Year Program' saw 81 Worshipful Masters

and their wives step on the stage at the Annual Banquet to receive congratulations

and tangible recognition fi-om the Grand Master and his wife and the Deputy Grand

Page 262: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

Master. April was designated as 'Masonic Education Month.' The Lodge Service

Committee, which offers a wide variety of materials for program planning, mailed out

material to each Lodge Committee Member to assist in organizing stimulating andinteresting meetings. During the past year over 200 films and slide shows were mailed

to Iowa lodges by the Film Bureau to provide an interesting dimension to lodge

programming.

"Iowa Masonry's Proudest Possession" is its Masonic Library. It is noted that,

when major Masonic Libraries come in for discussion, they include the Iowa Masonic

Library along with others in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Scottish Rite in

Washington, D.C., and London, England.

New ones, in recent years, are in Texas and the Scottish Rite Library of the

Northern Jurisdiction at Lexington, Massachusetts. The Lexington Library, known as

"The Museum of Our National Heritage," has a large, well-trained and well-paid

professional staff. The Iowa Masonic Library, on the other hand is gradually losing

some of its preeminence in the world. It is further noted by the Committee onDivision and Reference, which reports on: 1) The Grand Master's Report, 2) TheGrand Secretary's Report, and 3) The Grand Librarian's Report, that economicconditions have brought about a reduction in the Library budget; and that the

establishment of an Iowa Masonic Library Foundation to ensure future funding for

the care and operation of the Library as a collection of books and not the entire

building has been suggested.

Twenty-four Provincial Grand Lodges

"Our Creator did not put us on this earth simply to amuse ourselves, but that

we have a duty to him, to our brethren and to the world at large." This duty to the

world at large is the origin and driving force behind the Grand Master's Festival, a

new venture in Irish Masonry. Whatever sum is realized will go to medical research.

Support of the Festival must not be at the expense of the regular charities. In other

words, whatever is provided for medical research must be new money.

One thousand Pound Sterling raised at the St. John's Day appeal was allocated

by the Grand Master to the Armenian Earthquake and Lockerbie Air Disaster

Funds. Over 8,300 Pound Sterling was raised for the brethren in Jamaica whosuffered severely from the effects of hurricane Gilbert.

From the Provincial Grand Lodge of South Africa we learn that progress is

being made in the establishment of a lodge working in the Afrikaans language underthe Irish Constitution.

Page 263: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 255

An increase in membership is noted in the 3 Irish Lodges in Sri Lanka, while

a loss of membership is noted in Zambia mainly due to the retrenchment of staff in

the copperbelt. New Provincial Grand Lodges were formed in Bermuda and HongKong and several new lodges emerged in overseas Provinces. An interesting

development has been the erection of a lodge in Macaw, which is described as the

first break through of its kind on the Chinese mainland in 35 years.

Four visiting Grand Lodge delegations attended the June meeting of GrandLodge in Dublin. R.W. Bro. Ira Murphy the representative of the delegation from

the Grand Lodge of Canada in Ontario extended greetings from our Grand Master.

In our reviews last year we highlighted a composite resolution of five parts which

this year was circulated to the Provinces for review and response. There was

overwhelming support for items 1, 2, 3 and 5, whereas item 4 concerning the ritual

had a substantial majority in favour of little or no change. This was also the view of

the Grand Lodge of Instruction.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin officially reopened the Grand Lodge Museum. The

exhibition displayed shows the development of Freemasonry in Dublin from 1688. She

stated that "The exhibition ... will go a long way towards improving the general

awareness of the people of Dublin, and of visitors to the City about Freemasons and

Freemasonry. This exhibition can replace the mystique surrounding the organization

with the recognition and appreciation Freemasonry deserves."

JAPAN - 1988

Grand Master — M.W. Bro. Toshio Fujino

18 Lodges Membership 3,052

From the State of the Craft address: Too long our entrenched conservatism and

inflexible interpretation of solicitation and innovation have reduced the

communication output to the extent that most present young male population has

either no or at best a distorted concept of Freemasonry. Overall membership statistics

report a decline in not only fraternities, but also in churches, political parties and

other mainline organizations. In our modern society there is much competition for

our time, and this results in decreased participation in organizations which require

substantial volunteer involvement. It would appear that which was successful in the

Eighteenth Century does not appeal to the Twentieth Century individual as b>eing

meaningful and relevant. One of the lodges is meeting on Sundays to accommodate

its Japanese members.

Internationalization is a current buzz word emanating from the highest level of

the Japanese Government. What better way could the contemporary Japanese male

Page 264: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

256 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

receive an injection of internationalization than become aware of and participate in

our worldwide Fraternity? It would surely help to cure the deeply-ingrained insularism

and isolationism. It would help lower the distrust threshold of foreigners, and create

fraternal friendship throughout the world. The obstacle to increased Japanese

involvement in Freemasonry appears to have been the failure of Masons in Japan to

properly publicize our ancient and honourable Fraternity.

The Reverend Yukio Sartoh of the Tokyo English Life Line (TELL) was the

speaker at the Grand Master's banquet. He related his experiences of twenty years

in crisis intervention for people who are emotionally disturbed or suicidal.

Grand Master -- M.W. Bro. Claude W. Norris, Presiding

Grand Master - M.W. Bro. Robert M. Nease, Installed

The Grand Master in addressing the 133rd Annual Communication, stated at the

outset that 'the condition of the Craft' was found to be excellent in most cases, but

a few areas of concern were troubling. Membership, or numbers, have been placed

as a top priority, we seem to have forgotten many of the basics of our fraternity that

attract those good men outside our order. Visitations were made to several lodges

upon request to resolve disputes. Most involved considerable amounts of money, yet

none had a charitable program in place. One lodge with literally hundreds of

thousands of dollars in trust could not name one charitable act! Another quarrelled

with another body as to who should pay for the utilities for a youth group to meet.

And still another lodge discussed why they could not or would not pay the utilities

to prevent the cutoff for a deceased Mason's daughter rather than fulfil our

obligation. Is it any wonder our public image has eroded?

The Grand Master reported that many individual Masons have been more than

liberal in their charity work; a Mason in El Dorado provides numerous scholarships

Masons in Wichita made Christmas a time of joy for a brother and his wife and

four children who had only 20 dollars for either a Christmas dinner or gifts for the

children another brother made a generous gift to the Amaranth program for

diabetes. Undoubtedly there are many more instances of individual charity we are

totally unaware of that place Masonry in the forefront in numerous communities.

These acts of generosity are as old as Masonry itself, so p>ossibly the basics of our

fraternity need to be reestablished in the minds of our brothers and outsiders.

Brotherly love, peace, and harmony would do much to improve our image not only

to ourselves, but to our friends and neighbours. Pious words alone lead to emptiness,

while deeds speak loudly to the non-Mason.

The Grand Master's first priority was to bring an assistant to the GrandSecretary on board to become acquainted with the operation of the office before the

Page 265: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 257

present Grand Secretary retires. Another important concern was that of computercosts and accuracy of records. An in-house computer is being installed and shouldbecome a reality during this calendar year. Not only will this reduce costs ofoperation, but should increase accuracy and allow constant access to information

rather than the limited access to the mainframe now in use in St. Louis.

Another money saving procedure is related to the Grand Master's jewel. Its cost

is now in excess of thirty-six hundred dollars, and it has been decided to forego its

presentation unless a more economical version can be produced. Otherwise, a Past

Grand Master's ring or lapel pin will be provided.

The Deputy Grand Master is the liaison person to the Grand Master and the

Kansas Masonic Home. The Board of Trustees has been re-structured to consist of

24 members. One from each of the 12 Masonic Areas, three elected Masons, the

D.G.M., the G.S.W., the GJ.W., and six members of the Order of Eastern Star.

Seven of these trustees to be elected as the executive committee with all actions

and/or decisions to be approved by a majority of the trustees before being

implemented.

The new governing body, after a great deal of research, made a number of

recommendations, a number of which went into effect early in 1988, greatly

improving the operations. The Masonic Home, for the first time in many years,

operated in the black in excess of $540,000. But as the Grand Master observed, there

are still many problems to be solved.

Some of these problems were addressed in the Report of the Budget and

Finance Committee of the Kansas Masonic Home, which listed 24 recommendations;

a few were as follows: replace the Administrator by a Business Manager, release the

$28,400 a year Secretary and employ a new Secretary at not more than $16,000,

eliminate the position of Accountant and assign the work to the computer operator

and accounting clerk, assign the duties of the Purchasing Manager to the various

department heads, and that no money received from bequests, wills, and estates be

used for operation of the home (only the interest to be used). Since the budget was

not accepted by the Home Board and Trustees, it was not included with their report.

The Chairman of the Public Schools Committee announced the topic for the

1989 Essay Contest as "Should Morality Be Taught In Public Schools?" The topic

was well received by the applause of the brethren.

A very important achievement during the year was the creation of The Kansas

Masonic University, a course of study designed to improve Masonic knowledge in

Kansas. M.W. Claude Norris conceived the idea while serving as D.G.M.; with the

help of the Council of Administration and other brethren across the State, he put the

programme into operation. It has been received with much enthusiasm by the Craft

and promises to be a most important contribution to Masonic Education in the

future.

Page 266: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

258 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

In his acceptance speech, the newly Installed Grand Master, M.W. Robert M.Nease stated - "This year we are entering upon a new program 'The Kansas Masonic

University Program.' This program offers a challenge to pursue Masonic Education.

Education to the members as well as education for those coming into the fraternity.

Education in Masonry is a must if we are going to survive. Every Mason who holds

membership in a Kansas lodge has an opportunity to pursue this challenge and I

hope every member accepts the challenge.

For Masonry to grow and prosper there must be knowledge of the fraternity and

its teachings. There must be membership to carry out those things we are taught.

We must emphasize the need for an educated membership. The Masonic University

program offers the opportunity to increase in knowledge, thus better enabling us to

answer the questions presented us by the uninitiated.

Far too long we have lived and acted upon custom. Too long we have

interpreted custom to law. It is not. Customs change with times and we must bring

our customs up to today's times. Let us live and teach Masonry in tune with today's

times.

There is one custom which has prevailed throughout the years, and which should

never change. That is the custom of friends and brethren getting together. Neither

should it be forgotten. I would urge you to provide, through the support of your

lodge, some kind of family entertainment. Invite your nonmember friends, expose

them to our teachings. Have a hamburger fry, or some such get-together for the

young men in the senior class of your high school. They are each a potential future

Mason.

What I am trying to say is that we need not hide the beauty of brotherly love,

but we should exhibit those things which we have been taught for the betterment of

mankind through our daily living."

When the Grand Master addressed the 189th Annual Communication, he said

Page 267: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 259

- The overall picture of Masonry is good, this may come as somewhat of a surprise

to some of the brethren. It seems to me the smaller the lodge, the more brotherly

love and proficiency in their work. Let us not worship at the altar of membershipnumbers, but rather the quality of the members we already have. Education of the

newly raised Master Mason is of utmost importance to us. Once a brother has beenraised, let us not just tell him to 'have a seat on the sideline' but rather let us teach

him our ancient landmarks. Educate him in our ways and then give him somethingto do."

The Grand Master went on to say - "The 'Motto' I chose for this year, 'LETTHE LIGHT OF FREEMASONRY CONTINUE TO SHINE ON ABENIGHTED WORLD,' was not chosen lightly. When I thought about how ourGovernment was going, it was an easy slogan to choose. With the lackadaisical wayour country is being run, it seems the only thing that is going to save our beloved

land is the 'Bright Star of Masonry.' We started it, so let's keep it going on the right

track."

From the report of the committee on Masonic Education, we note that the

Educational officer participated in 50 educational classes, 13 'before the Entered

Apprentice Degree,' 13 'Entered Apprentice Degree,' 12 'Fellow Craft Degree,' and12 'Master Mason Degree.' These educational classes are organized and conducted

by the Educational Committee of Thomas C. Cecil Lodge 375 and they are willing

to travel anywhere that they are invited. The class 'Before the Entered Apprentice

Degree,' is for the new petitioners elected and their families and friends. The material

used for these classes is provided by the Masonic Service Association. The purpose

of this meeting is so the family and friends will have some idea of what Masonry is,

and is not.

For more than 100 years, the MASONIC HOME JOURNAL has provided

continuous service to the Fraternity of Freemasons in the Commonwealth of

Kentucky; their annual postage bill has risen to more than S80,000. They have

recently skyrocketed from the "horse and buggy age to the space age" with the

installation of a computer typesetting system. However, the new technology requires

new personnel, training, converting from the old system to the new system, and

building changes; all of which has consumed precious dollars. Nevertheless they are

endeavouring to maintain a very low subscription rate.

The Grand Secretary reports that the Committee on Finance has approved the

purchase of a computer; three systems have been examined to date.

The Freemasons of Kentucky take a great deal of pride in their two major

projects: 1) the Masonic Widows and Orphans' Home and Infirmary, and 2) the Old

Masons' Home of Kentucky. The cornerstone for the former was laid in October,

1869, and as the number of residents increased larger and more modern facilities

were needed. These were provided, and the facility which they now occupy was

dedicated on October 18, 1927.

Page 268: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

260 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

The Masonic Widows and Orphans' Home is one of the largest in the State and

is licensed to provide long term care on 3 levels: Personal Care - 129 beds, Nursing

Home Care - 130 beds, and Skilled Nursing Care - 38 beds. Care is provided 24

hours per day requiring 174 full time and 33 part time employees; and offering a full

range of services: Nursing, Dietary, Social Services, Housekeeping-Laundry,

Maintenance, Activities, Purchasing, and a Business Office. The cost of operations

for the current year amounted to $4,800,815.41, or $58 per resident, per day.

A 7.5 million dollar expansion (two new wings totalling 100,000 sqare feet), to

centralize and modernize the services as well as provide single floor housing, is

expected to be completed before the end of 1989. The expansion will include 104

private rooms with baths, a large dining room, modern efficient kitchen, a large

activities room, a 60 seat Chapel, Administrative Offices, and other supp>ort service

areas for the residents.

While there has been no major decline or increase in the number of residents

in the Old Masons' Home of Kentucky Inc., there has been a sharp increase in the

level of services required, particularly in orthopaedics and cardiology as well as in eye

examinations and eye surgery. This is attributed primarily to the increase in the

average age of the brothers and their spouses in the Home. The average age is now86.

Expenses for Operations amounted to $2,593,985 or $67.19 per patient day;

while revenue was only $2,584,731 leaving a negative balance of $19,253. Revenue

is derived from three sources: Residents Monthly Income, Residents Admission

Income, and Interest Income from the Endowment Fund.

From the Grand Secretary's report, we note that the minimum fees for the

degrees are: E.A. $25; F.C. $20; and M.M. $20; or a total of $65.00, and 27% of the

lodges charge the minimum fee. Another 27% charge over $100.00, and one lodge

charges $180.00; the average is $86.68, which is an increase of $4.07.

The funds paid to Grand Lodge fall, in general, under three categories namely:

dues, assessments, and contributions. The per capita dues are $2.88, the assessments

total approximately $9.58 and on average are broken down as follows: Widows and

Orphans Home, $4.08; Old Mason's Home, $2.16; Masonic Home Journal, $1.91;

Masonic Homes' retirement and insurance plans, 48 cents; Lodge insurance, 63 cents;

and Computer 32 cents. The contributions are to the George Washington Masonic

National Memorial Association and ranged from $5.00 to $100.00 per lodge with an

average of $12.95. Therefore, each lodge contributes about $12.50 per memberannually exclusive of books, $5.00 per person initiation fee, and other special

dispensations.

During 1986 the Grand Lodge of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts wasconvened in eight Special Communications for such purposes as observing LodgeAnniversaries, amalgamating Lodges, dedicating a Grave Marker and dedicating a

Masonic Temple. In addition, there were Quarterly Communications in March, June,

September and December and the Stated Communication for the year was onDecember 29, 1986.

At the March Quarterly Communication the Grand Master stated that he had

invited 700 Massachusetts Masons, who winter in the vicinity of Sarasota, Florida, to

have lunch with him later in March. He indicated that his purpose was two-fold.

First, as he had invited the Grand Master of Florida to attend, there would be an

opportunity for these men to be welcomed to Florida Masonry. Secondly, he wanted

"to let them know we still have an interest in them, and also I hope that it will give

them an opportunity to meet other Massachusetts Masons from their area and

perhaps reawaken their interest in Masonry, although they are many miles from their

own lodges." At the June Quarterly Communication he reported that some 200

members had attended the lunch.

In his Address at the September Quarterly Communication, the Grand Master

spoke of the problem of declining membership. He addressed the difficult question

of how to obtain the benefits of solicitation without engaging in the forbidden

practice. It is essential, he said, "to make sure that we do not have many potential

members waiting on the side-lines to be asked to become a Mason. We must makesure that the word gets out to these potential members, that they will never be asked

to join our Fraternity but it must be entirely voluntary on their part to request

membership." He suggested that some acceptable ways to increase awareness of

Masonry are: (i) talking about Masonry more openly in groups; (ii) inviting

non-Masons to "open" functions in lodges and districts; (iii) becoming more involved,

as individual Masons and as lodges, in community projects for the benefit of all; (iv)

portraying the highest standards of personal conduct so as to show Masons and

Masonry in a good light.

A noteworthy example of Masonry contributing to meeting community needs for

the benefit of all was afforded in the Report (at the December Quarterly

Communication) of the Grand Lodge Librarian, Roberta Hankamer. The number

of library activities and their diversity is the first thing one notices in that report.

The current programme of the library included: production of Braille copies of

Freemasonry: A Way of Life, which are available on loan; invitation to members to

suggest other titles to be produced in Braille; acquisition for the rare book collection

of a previously unknown edition of Samuel Pritchard's Masonry Dissected (published

in London in 1730); provision of requested information to researchers in England,

California and Texas; helping high school students with term papers; assisting in

research projects of faculty members and graduate students in the region who

"continue to use the Library as a special resource." The reason is not hard to find

why Massachusetts has a Grand Lodge Library that is more than a collection of

underused books. It is presided over by a librarian whose qualifications had been

recognized in her profession by her election as Chairman of the Museums, Arts and

Humanities Division of the internationally prestigious Special Libraries Association.

262 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts has an asset in its library which is of benefit to

its own memt>ers and a object of recognition by the community.

The Stated Communication for 1986 was held in Boston on December 29, for

the purpose of installing the Grand Officers and celebrating the Feast of St. John the

Evangelist. M.W. Bro. Albert T. Ames, who had been elected at the DecemberQuarterly Communication, was duly installed along with the other Grand Officers.

In greeting the brethren the new Grand Master stated, "We are now, as always, in

the best of times and in the worst of times. We have much to be thankful for as

at the same time we have a great deal of work to do to improve our organization,

its standards, its service, its public acceptance and the outlook for the future".

In an effort to improve the prospects of Massachusetts Masonry in meeting the

challenges of the "best and worst of times," M.W. Bro. Ames made the following

announcement: "As a result of the recent survey that has been completed, probably

the most dramatic change that will take place right away is that of securing a

business manager/administrator to oversee on a full-time basis the operations of the

business of the Grand Lodge." He stated that there soon would be published an

advertisement "with a brief description of this position, which will be open not only

to Master Masons, but any professional person who is interested in applying for this

job to help us keep the business of our Grand Lodge in line." Masons in

Massachusetts, and in many other jurisdictions as well, will be keenly interested in

monitoring the success of this bold experiment, charting a new course in blending

modern practices of business administration with traditional concepts in the day to

day operation and financial control of a Grand Lodge.

One of the recommendations of the Grand Master was to set aside October as

'Square and Compass Month' to be observed especially as an annual event recognized

at Masonic Homecoming.

From the report of the Grand Lecturer - "Freemasonry has always and mustever continue to espouse impeccable principles. We cannot rely on any 'gimmick' or

innovation in our time-honoured landmarks to enhance our growth in membership,there must be no compromise in our selection of candidates for the degrees. If ever

we deviate from the minutest principle embraced by us, we can expect to lose

prestige and influence not only in the ranks of Blue Lodge Masonry, but also aneventual dilution of all, York and Scottish Rite Bodies including the Shrine.

Page 271: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 263

The appendant bodies depend on us for recruitment. Being a Master Mason is

the basic requirement for appendant membership and we should never place an unfit

and unworthy Mason in a position to be a candidate for the other degrees much less

allow one to be a Master Mason. Should we be soft in our selection of members,we can expect to not only cheapen our image as a craft, but we will also add fuel to

the deterioration in quality of the other Masonic txxlies."

According to the report of the Finance Committee, the keys of the car assigned

to the Grand Secretary the year before, are turned over to the incoming GrandMaster, and this automobile is to be. traded by him on a new car of equal value and

equipment; the cost of the trade including license and insurance to be paid out of

the General Funds of the Grand Lodge. The automobile that had been used by the

preceding Grand Master is assigned to the Grand Secretary.

The total assets of the Mississippi Masonic Youth Foundation amount to over

$98,000.00, with disbursements of over $7,000.00. The purpose of the foundation,

which was established many years ago, is to provide financial assistance to promote

the well t>eing of DeMolay in Mississippi. "Remember, what we contribute toward the

building of good moral and spiritual character in the youth of today will result in

tjetter leaders in the future of all segments of society."

On reviewing the suggestions for reversing the downward trend in lodge

memberships, the Committee on Fraternal Correspondence reported that the Grand

Lodge of England permits "dignified solicitation." It was also noted that - "in British

Commonwealth lodges, the membership in each lodge is much smaller, permitting

participation by more men in office, and also that plural membership prevails."

Another suggestion is to reduce the catechetical requirements which seem to

deter some Entered Apprentices from advancing. This is not meant to lower the

standard for membership, but to require complete mastery of the questions and

answers by only those who plan to do degree work. Several members of the Grand

Lodge of Mississippi have apparently spoken favourably on this matter.

One of ten questions on a 'Questionnaire/Survey' by the Grand Lodge in

1988-89 was "Do you favour a more lenient proficiency examination?" Of the 1662

votes, 16.4% voted YES, and 83.6% voted NO.

The Grand Master, in his opening address, quoted the following from Charles

Dickens; "It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times; it was the age of

Page 272: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

264 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of

despair . .." M.W. Bro. Robb continued with these words: "Dickens likewise

described the scene well for us two centuries later, for although we have the highest

average standard of living known to man, more material goods and gadgets than any

people have ever dreamed of, instant communications, overnight intercontinental

travel, and remnants on the moon from real men landing there, we at the same time

probably have the lowest moral standards and highest crime rate any modern nation

has ever known, rampant social disease, more litigation than the rest of the world put

together, declining SAT scores in our schools, and Masonic candidates who seemingly

have never been taught to memorize anything. The obvious truth is that there will

always be greater or lesser problems for any given generation of people and for any

given nation, and our fraternity can't solve them all, but Masons here and abroad can

surely create a wholesome influence and a stabilizing effect toward peace, prosperity,

and harmony.

Ah, but one may ask, why should members of the craft bother to do so if the

problems keep reoccurring? Because, my friends, no man is an island, but we are

all part of the continent of humanity. There was a time in the world's history when

the sun never set on the British Empire, and largely through that colonization,

Masonry as we now know it spread throughout much of the globe. As the English

Empire has had its expansion and contraction, history plainly shows us so too have

other nations and movements before and since, and so too has Freemasonry had its

peaks and valleys.

Thus in this period of Masonic recession, it seems to me our emphasis must be

on preserving our traditions and precepts, living by our principles, and adjusting to

the problems of our times, so that another generation of Masons will have a sound

and adequate foundation to seek a new period of expansion. Our success or failure

cannot be measured merely in numbers of members or lodges, but by whether wecontribute our best efforts to the great and noble cause of structuring freedom and

responsibility in the hearts and minds of men and women."

The Grand Master issued a Dispensation, authorizing Shelby Lodge No. 143,

A.F. & A.M., of Shelby, Montana, to journey with their charter to Lethbridge Lodge

in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, on Saturday, September 20, 1986, commencing at

approximately 2:00 p.m., there to confer the Master Masons Degree in Montana full

form on Norman Nicholson, son of John N. Nicholson, Worshipful Master of Shelby

Lodge No. 143.

One of the Grand Master's recommendations included instructions to the Grand

Lodge Committee on Masonic Practices to discuss and consider possible

consolidations and/or reapportionment of the twelve districts into eight to ten districts,

with a commensurate reduction in the number of Grand Lodge Officers. Thefollowing explanatory comments were given: "Our present districts vary from 5 to 15

lodges, which creates considerable disparity in the number of visitations for the Grand

Lodge Officers to make, the number of Masons he represents, and the number of

students in the district applying for scholarships. Also, with substantially fewer

members in the state than we used to have, Grand Lodge should be able to function

Page 273: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 265

with fewer officers, and thereby save some exf)ense. Such change would also makeimplementation of the district representative system more practical and effective."

For many years the Grand Secretary's bulletins, monthly membership reports,

and other information were mailed only to Lodge Secretaries, Worshipful Masters,

Grand Officers, Past Grand Masters, and appendant bodies (Scottish and York Rite

Bodies and the Shrine, which must rely on the membership reports to keep informed

of Masons who die, demit, or have been suspended). However, with the purchase of

a postal permit (Non-profit Organization) which allows mailings at 8.5 cents per

piece, more Masons (including the Senior and Junior Wardens, Grand CommitteeChairmen, District Representatives, and the Masonic Home Board of Trustees) are

now receiving this information. This is their attempt to keep in touch with the large

percentage of Masons who are in leadership positions.

The Rocky Mountain Masonic Conference was formed in 1952, and consisted

of the Grand Jurisdictions of Colorado, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming. By 1987,

the Grand Jurisdictions of Utah and Idaho were also included. TTie Conference is

a two day event and is generally held in mid July. Each Grand Jurisdiction is assigned

a topic of Masonic interest and also of concern. In turn, each Grand Master assigns

one of his Grand Lodge officers to write a paper on his topic and assigns another

Grand Lodge officer to direct the discussion of said paper. In Montana, it is

traditional that the Junior Grand Warden prepares the paper and the Senior GrandWarden leads the discussion after which these papers are thoroughly discussed by the

members in attendance. Any Mason may attend the conference. The proceedings are

published and made available to any interested Mason. From the financial report, wenote that Montana's budget for the Rocky mountain Conference is $1,500.00.

The 'Montana Masonic Education Achievement Awards' was established this year

to enhance the level of Masonic knowledge and awareness among the members of

the craft. It was placed under the administration of the Committee on Masonic

Education and Research. There shall be two levels of recognition: one, an individual

achievement award which shall be awarded to Master Masons; and two, a lodge

achievement award to be awarded to constituent lodges. There is no limit on the

number of awards presented each year, however, only one award may be presented

to an individual or a lodge in any given calendar year. The awards shall consist of

certificates suitable for framing and to be signed by the Grand Master. The cost of

administering the program and presenting the awards shall be taken from the budget

of the Masonic Education and Research committee.

The Executive of the 'Montana Masonic Secretaries Association' is made up of

a President, Vice-President, Sentinel and a Secretary. They serve one year in each

progressive office, and work closely with the Grand Secretary.

266 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

The Grand Lodge of the State of New Mexico held its 112th Annual

Communication at Farmington, March 20 and 21, 1989. In addition, Grand Lodge

met in two Special Communications (one for Constituting and Consecrating a Lodge

and the other for laying a cornerstone) and also in three Quarterly Communications.

The Grand Master referred, in his Address, to the success of the programme for

Sojourning Masons. Lodges in New Mexico invite Masons visiting the State during

the winter months to attend lodge. Both the host lodges and the visitors derive

considerable benefit from the friendships and fraternal associations formed in this

way. It was reported that the plan has been well received by other Grand

Jurisdictions.

Speaking of the State of the Craft in New Mexico, the Grand Master asserted

that he had not seen as much enthusiasm in several years. "I attribute a lot of our

renewed interest and enthusiasm," he said, "to the increase of younger officers in our

lodges. This is not to say that we older ones do not care; we have just become tired

and complacent ... I believe we are starting to change direction to a positive path."

He observed that the net loss of 199 members is the smallest reduction in several

of years.

A contentious issue of great concern to Masonry in New Mexico for some time

has been the question of local real estate taxation (called ad valorem taxes) on

Masonic Temples. An attempt was made to introduce legislation into the State

Legislature exempting "charitable, fraternal and veterans organizations" from such

taxes but it was declared contrary to the Constitution of the State of New Mexico.

As a result, the matter had to be dealt with on a county by county basis, with

informal hearings arranged with assessors and tax authorities in each case. The Grand

Master reported that out of 32 counties in which there are Masonic Lodges, 26 had

exempted the lodges from these taxes while negotiations were continuing in the

others. He indicated that, at the time of reporting, there were only two counties

where the problem was acute. In one of these the Tax Assessor was threatening a

lodge with the sale of its property for back taxes. The Grand Master promised that

his office "will continue to be ever watchful of the [property] tax situation in NewMexico."

There would seem to be a commendable emphasis in New Mexico on the

importance of keeping adequate historical records. The Committee of History of the

Grand Lodge wrote to every Worshipful Master requesting him to appoint an

Historian to bring the lodge history up to date. It was reported that 12 of the 67

lodges in the State had submitted histories as requested. Many others have indicated

that their histories are being written and will be submitted as soon as possible. TheGrand Historian is a member of the Committee on History but is not its chairman.

In a separate report the Grand Historian emphasized the importance of every lodge

appointing an Historian and preparing a history. He added that historical records,

especially photographs, should be safeguarded. "If there is any inclination," he said,

"to destroy material or photographs Do Not Do So. The next or later Historian might

consider them of exceptional value."

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 267

The Report of the New Mexico Lodge of Research (by R.W. Bro. Jackson,W.M.) indicated "tremendous success" for the programmes related to txxDk sales andcassette/slide production. The Lodge of Research has been particularly active in

"presenting materials on Masonic Education to the Masons of New Mexico."

Last year, Grand Lodge referred to the District Deputy Grand Masters the

programme which it had initiated with respect to Youth Identification and Protection.

The Committee which was charged with the responsibility of overseeing this activity

reported that District Committees were appointed and undertook the work with

enthusiasm. "They contacted law enforcement agencies and are working closely with

them all over the state. Fingerprinting sessions have been set up at schools, Lodges,

malls, police stations, carnivals and fairs. The Youth Identification books have been

furnished to schools. Masonic youth groups, police departments, search and rescue

units day care centres and service organizations." In commenting on the success of

the programme, the Chairman of the Committee stated that he "had occasion to

know that our books have helped to find children."

Considerable discussion occurred on the floor of Grand Lodge about the

declining membership when hard figures were presented in the Condition of the

Craft report. There were 6 newly created lodges t^ 2 to 4 lodges amalgamating. "The

success of such mergers in terms of renewed spirit in lodge more than compensates

for the loss from our roll of a few names who have been so long unseen that they

are virtually unknown by the active members of the lodge," claimed one spokesman.

"We are adjusting to a changed circumstance in a practical and positive way."

Through strong leadership at all levels and positive educational awareness

programming combined with dedication and enthusiasm of the work the Craft does,

a change in growth patterns is anticipated for the second century of masonry in NewZealand.

The Public Relations report notes that good public relations relies a lot on the

"soft sell." The first promotional tool is a folder "The Way of Life." The momentumof public relations' activities is designed to peak with the 1990 Centennial.

The Library and Museum committee added the volumes "Meeting the Challenge"

and "Beyond the Pillars" to the collection.

The newly installed Grand Master spoke of fostering fellowship at Refectory,

where proceedings are so often stilted, predictable and unimaginative. Surely in each

Page 276: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

268 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

lodge is someone who has an original thought or two to brighten up the evening -

something the members can look forward to and remember. The importance of first

impressions so far as new members are concerned cannot be emphasized enough.

The Grand Master's response to the cry so often heard, "Why doesn't GrandLodge do something about it?" was as follows: "The implication is that there is

something wrong with Freemasonry, and it is up to Grand Lodge to fix it. Brethren,

you and I and every other mason in this country are Freemasonry. We are the links

in the chain of Freemasonry. If there are weaknesses in that chain then they are

brought about by the links, that is, by us as Freemasons, not as Grand Lodge

officers, not as Masters or Wardens, not as members of Boards, but as Masons. Theremedies, if they are required, are in our hands irrespective of rank or office.

There are weaknesses in any organization, but that is why we have motions and

amendments to strengthen our Order.

The capitation fee is $13 and brethren contribute $6 per capita to the Fund of

Benevolence. A total of 175 Bursaries and Grants for Education amounting to

$133,000 were approved.

Sp)ecial celebrations to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of Freemasonry in

Canada were held at Annapolis Royal in September. A 250-year medallion to

commemorate the occasion was authorized for distribution. Major Erasmus J.

Philipps from Boston was the founder and Master of the first regular lodge on

Canadian soil in 1773. The following year he was appointed Provincial Grand Master

over the Free and Accepted Masons in Nova Scotia.

The committee on realigning the districts was ordered to be reactivated as well

as the criteria for the selection of District Deputy Grand Master be reviewed. Thework of the Protocol committee continues to centre on improvement of dress in

lodge and the formulation of acceptable standards.

All Grand Representatives were requested to forward a copy of the Proceedings

of this Annual Communication to the Grand Lodge they represent. Recognition was

withdrawn from the Grand Orient of Italy, but recommended for the Grand Lodge

of Nuevo Leon, one of about 23 Grand Lodges in Mexico.

The Lewis jewel was approved to be worn by a Master Mason who is the son

of a Master Mason. Widows pins are available. Woodlawn Lodge received the Past

The Proceedings were completely processed in the offices of the GrandSecretary, using their recently purchased desk top publishing equipment at a saving

of over $6,000.00, which is more than the cost of the equipment and has resulted in

a more professional looking publication not only for the proceedings, but in

everything they now print. Next year a new automated billing system will be in place,

and each lodge will be issued a new binder to hold the new forms.

In addition to the many structural improvements to 'The Masonic and Eastern

Star Home of Oregon,' which included a new exercise room with equipment, large

screen TV. and VCR recorder in the sun room, the major project for the year is

the purchase of a bus for the use of 'Home' members. A request was made for each

lodge to contribute S500.00, several Lodges have already made commitments.

Since our last review of the Proceedings of The Grand Lodge of Oregon (1984),

a series of home study courses was initiated. They are referred to as the 'Torchlight'

courses. Torchlight III is now available, and like its predecessors will be an open

book course; it will be the last offered in the current series of home study courses.

A special award is being prepared for its satisfactory completion. Enrolment in the

Torchlight programme has increased to over 1,000 of whom 300 have completed

Torchlight I and over 100 have completed Torchlight II.

The Torchlight courses and workshops offered by the 'Information and

Education Committee' are designed to help Oregon Masons (brethren from other

jurisdictions have also taken the courses) develop confidence through knowledge of

Masonry, to strengthen and equip them as Masons, and to create familiarity with the

publications of Grand Lodge.

The Committee strongly urges each Lodge to promote the use of their programs

as a necessary and continuing requirement in the fulfilment of that tenet of Masonry

Page 278: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

270 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

'To improve myself in Masonry" or as we say in Ontario 'To make a daily

advancement in Masonic knowledge." They believe that every Mason is entitled to

and should have an explanation and understanding of the history, purpose, symbolism,

philosophy and ideals of the Craft.

Warren D. Flagg, W. Grand Orator, in his Grand Oration reminds us . . . "It

was not too many years ago that in every community in which there was a Masonic

Lodge, the leading members of the community were members of that Lodge. They

were the bankers, doctors, lawyers, business leaders and both local and state officials.

It is a different story today, and a sad situation, when one of our U.S. Senators has

made remarks indicating that he can't let people know that he is a Mason as that

would be, in his own words, 'the political kiss of death.' The principles, ideals and

morality of Freemasonry are just not well enough understood by far too manypeople. This is true not only here in Oregon, but all across this broad nation of ours.

The various Grand Lodges, their constituent Lodges, and our general membership

must all accept at least some portion of any blame for this unhappy condition."

From chapter 123 of the 'History of The Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of

Oregon,' when James R. Belshe was Grand Master, 1981 - 1982, as published in the

1988 Proceedings, we learn that M.W. Bro. Belshe, on August 29th and 30th,

attended the Annual Malheur Cave meeting sponsored by Burns Lodge No. 97. This

well attended annual meeting was one of the highlights of the summer for Masonry

in Oregon. The Master Mason Degree is conferred in the cave (owned by Burns

Lodge) which is an old lava tube and provided a unique setting for the degree.

According to custom. Bums Lodge confers the first section in the afternoon,

then after a chuck wagon style dinner held in the valley below the cave, a visiting

lodge confers the second section, usually in costume, in the evening. Before leaving

in the morning, the brethren were treated to a big chuck wagon breakfast.

The business of the Grand Lodge of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was

transacted in 1988 at its four Quarterly Communications (in March, June, September

and December), all convened in the City of Philadelphia. There were six Special

Communications at various locations in the state for the purpose of dedicating Lodge

Rooms. In addition, the Annual Grand Communication was convened on St. John

the Evangelist's Day in December, which marked the beginning of the ensuing

Masonic year.

Page 279: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 271

There were two reports at the March Quarterly Communication which were of

interest to Ontario Masons. The first was from the Pennsylvania Foundation for the

Prevention of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Among Children. Like the comparableundertaking in Ontario, the Pennsylvania Foundation is working through agencies

already at work in the community in communicating to young people the messagethat it is smart to "Say No to Drugs." Also of interest was the Deputy GrandMaster's report on the meeting in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, (in February, 1988) of the

Annual Conference of Grand Masters of North America. He referred to a panel

discussion on the subject of creating a positive image, which was conducted by V.W.Bro. Norman Buckingham, of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of

Ontario.

A programme of outreach into the community by several activities designed to

disseminate information about Masonry was reported under the rubric Solomon II

at the December Quarterly Communication. These included: (i) a professionally

produced portable display entitled "Who Are The Freemasons?" to be used in public

events throughout Pennsylvania; (ii) a slideMdeotap^e production entitled "Masons

Care"; (iii) co-sponsorship of a Science Fair; and (iv) co-sponsorship of a Health Fair

at the State University in Harrisburg.

The Grand Master's desire to lower the average age of those who are active in

the direction of the Craft in Pennsylvania was indicated in the following passage in

the Review of the First Year of the Administration of the R.W. Grand Master :

"Through appointing younger members to significant positions and having encouraged

our youth to petition for Degrees and membership, Bro. Kurtz has ensured the

future success of Freemasonry in Pennsylvania. In addition to this, and undoubtedly

because of Bro. Kurtz's encouragement, the Fraternity is seeing increasingly younger

and younger people in the chairs of our Blue Lodges."

The operation of the Grand Lodge Library and also the Museum in

Pennsylvania are supervised by the Committee on Masonic Education. The Museumcelebrated its 80th Anniversary with a special exhibit, entitled "Reflections in a

Museum Case: Eight Decades of Masonic collecting, 1908-1988." This exhibit was

listed in the "Legacies of Genius", an exhibition catalogue of the Consortium Libraries

of Philadelphia. The increased publicity in newspapers and other media produced a

larger attendance by the general public than had been expected. The Committee

reported (in September) that "The Library and Museum staff continues their daily

responsibilities of maintaining and servicing the collections of the Grand Lodge

Library and Museum." The key to the library's success is the provision of a

professional librarian with adequate support staff. The professional standing of the

Librarian is indicated by this reference in the Committee's Report: "On two separate

days in August, the Librarian and Curator, with his staff, had the privilege of hosting

representatives from the libraries of the Grand Lodges of New York and Nova

Scotia. We are pleased that they are interested in how we catalogue and process

materials for libraries and museums. Discussions included our plans for further

utilization of computers in the overall program of the Library and Museum. It should

make the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania feel a deep sense of pride that these other

Jurisdictions are impressed enough with our library to consider our procedures of

Page 280: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

272 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

accessioning and cataloguing their collections." Another explanation for the Library's

success is that it receives additional funding from The Brother Frank W. RobbEndowment Fund, established in memory of a former Librarian. Contributions from

individual Masons and from Lodges and Appendant Bodies indicate the recognition

within the Craft of the Library's usefulness to them, while contributions from

commercial firms show that it is recognized in the community as a valuable civic

resource.

A motion to streamline the Board of General Purpxjses by reducing the numbers

was approved. For a long time it has been seen as being too large and too

cumbersome and too awkward. The 2-year trial system of allowing a credit for those

lodges who paid their dues before a certain date has not worked and so was

discarded. The Board was granted the power to increase or decrease annual dues

by an amount not exceeding 10% of the existing dues, and to report such at the next

Quarterly Communication.

In his address to Grand Lodge, M.W. Bro. Marcus Humphrey, Grand Master

of Scotland, related how his Grand Lodge and the Grand Lodge of England are

doing what they can to try and lift the veil a bit so that people don't look uponFreemasonry as being something insidious and against the National interest. Whenthe 2500 masons met at the Grand Lodge of Scotland in 1986, of every colour, ofevery creed and every background, all met as peoples on the floor of Grand Lodge.

There are not many organizations in the world today that can boast of that and that

is one of the principial aspects of Freemasonry we ought to be making a lot more of.

The Grand Master in his March address alluded to studies in civilization that

show that countries and people, that once were progressive and healthy, collapsed

through over-indulgence in the good things of life. Permissiveness, licentiousness,

lack of restraint and personal discipline which contributed to the decline and fall of

the Roman Empire, still abound today in one form or another. Character is formed

by running into adversity, meeting it head on, and solving the problems of life as weface them. Let man gather about him the good material things of life. At the sametime he should, and we MUST as Freemasons, remember we are bom to have a

higher goal in life, and by force of circumstance must practise self-discipline. Wemust exercise charity, and recognize that we all owe a duty to God, and ourselves,

to help those less fortunate than ourselves. By carefully blending the spiritual within

the material, we have a powerful weapon for good.

A new and exciting fund raising venture exploded in 1987 with the holding of

a "Cracker Event" around the old traditional Guy Fawkes theme. The event was a

huge success with unprecedented public support.

SASKATCHEWAN -- 1988

Grand Master --M.W. Bro. Roy Wellman

Membersh p 9,221140 Lodges

In reflecting on his year as Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Wellman was left with one

dramatic impression of involved knowledgeable masons who have a sound

appreciation of masonic history, heritage and principles of the Craft - and who in no

way feel threatened or intimidated when the fraternity is subject to adverse criticism.

"It is my deep and abiding belief that we should use our time, our talents and our

resources to promote masonic education because it goes without saying that an

illiterate mason is not an enthusiastic mason."

The physical penalties in the obligations were the general discussion topics at 1

area meetings, so that Grand Lodge could know the thinking of the brethren on this

matter after a proper discussion in the constituent lodges.

A 3-day Saskatchewan Masonic Seminar with the theme "Visibility of your

Lodge" centred on why some lodges are so successful while others surrender their

charter. A profile of a successful lodge was summarized as one which involves the

Page 282: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

274 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

mason's family and has activities that are perceived as worthwhile by members of the

community. Traditions which have proved successful are:

1. Father and son banquet

2. Family picnics

3. Sponsoring students to Masonic leadership camp4. Church parades and Masonic church services

5. Listing Masonic events in local newspaper

6. Presenting scholarships to deserving students

7. Volunteering to help the needy in a community, such as drivers for meals

on wheels

8. Participation in wreath laying ceremonies on memorial days

9. Oratorical competitions

Friendship Night or open houses where non-Masons are invited, together with

members of the family, to a film presentation and a discussion of Masonry is

probably one of the most successful means of advising non-Masons as to what it is

that Masons do. A Public Relations Committee to co-ordinate special activities of

lodges throughout the province was a final recommendation.

In his closing remarks, the Grand Master while reflecting on what is going on

in the world around us, was fully persuaded that never in the history of mankind has

there t)een a greater relevance of the principles that were taught in the little REDschool house, the little WHITE church and the little BLUE lodge - the principles

of the RED, WHITE and BLUE.

The following motions were approved at Grand Lodge:

The Board agreed to the production of a 100 year lodge jewel.

W. Bro. Robert G. Treleaven was appointed Grand Secretary.

The official Masonic emblem of the Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan shall be

the Square and Compasses enclosing the letter G, and may be worn or

displayed by any member of the jurisdiction.

Funds in the amount of $108,000 were granted from the Benevolent Fundand $25,895 from the Benefit Fund.

The Board of Benevolence may consider and approve an application from any

constituent lodge to support a community project that would improve our Masonic

Image. To support such projects, the Board may use a portion of the unused

earnings from the interest on a dollar for dollar basis with the constituent lodge.

Data from the D.D.G.M.S' reports indicates an average lodge attendance of

31.5%. One hundred and nine of the 130 reporting lodges have a Social Programme,66 have a Youth Programme and 70 have their History up-to-date. All lodges are

rated from Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor by the D.D.G.M.s.

659 Lodges in Scotland Lodges Overseas 473

During four weeks in February and March the Grand Master, J. M. Marcus

Humphrey of Dinnet, his wife and Grand Secretary visited Australia, New Zealand,

Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Canada. The importance of such visits and how they were

beneficial not just ceremonially and administratively, but because they strengthen the

ties between Grand Lodge, its daughter lodges and districts abroad as well as

cementing relationships between Grand Lodges, particularly in those countries in

which Scottish lodges continue to work was emphasized. His visit to Montreal was

to St. Paul's lodge No. 374 where his father was initiated in 1948, and to renew some

of his childhood friends and memories.

Ten brethren of distinguished repute were invited to join the Grand Master in

representing the Grand Lodge of Scotland at discussions with the Working Party on

Freemasonry, part of the Church of Scotland's Panel on Doctrine.

Pursuant to correspondence from the Grand Lodge of The Netherlands, the

records and artifacts of their former Indonesian lodges which had been stored for

safe keeping in Freemasons' Hall, Edinburgh, when lodges in Indonesia had been

forced to cease working, were recommended to be released. Masonic effects of

Lodge Javal S.C. which had ceased to work were also offered.

The Finance Committee discussed the 300th anniversary of Grand Lodge and

agreed to set aside the sum of 3,000 pound Sterling from the 250th Anniversary

Account to be placed on an accumulation investment basis providing maximum

income and capital gain until 2036. It was further agreed that a sum of not less than

1,000 fXDund Sterling be transferred annually to the 300th Anniversary Fund from the

General Fund for 7 years or until a maximum of 10,000 pound Sterling is reached.

In November, while offering his warmest congratulations to the newly installed

Grand Master, the Installing Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother J. M. MarcusHumphrey of Dinnet, commented how magnificent it was to see a real full-blooded

Highland Chieftain in the Chair of Grand Master - the first since 1953. He alluded

to the "wonderfully infectious warmth" from the brethren. When you go into a lodge

you have this "tremendous mutual feeling of trust which is something very special

which I think only Freemasonry can offer."

In his initial address, the newly installed Grand Master, Bro. Brigadier Sir Gregor

MacGregor of MacGregor, complimented Bro. Marcus Humphrey for his superb

ambassadorship and his recent broadcast, as a major contribution to the

understanding by the general public of what we are and what we are about. Bro.

Humphrey was appointed Honourary President of the Royal Scottish Home in

appreciation of his promoting the development and modernization of Masonic

Homes.

One of the principal guests welcomed to the Annual Installation was Bro. H. R.

H. Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia, Assistant Grand Master of the National GrandLodge of France, who proposed the toast to the Grand Lodge of Scotland: ".

. .

regularity is the most important thing about Freemasonry. Since time immemorial.

Masonry has been the subject of virulent attacks from people with no understanding

and indeed a loathing of our aims, landmarks and traditions. There are dark forces

at work in the world today who would like to undermine the foundations of regular

Freemasonry. We are surrounded by woolly-minded pseudo-idealists who would be

only too happy to see the fraternity as we conceive it discredited, its ideas defaced

and our doors opened to non-believers. This we must fight against with dignity and

firmness of heart."

In his reply to the toast to the Grand Lodge of Scotland, the Grand Master

focused on the ninth of the Charges at Installation, You agree to promote the general

good of society, to cultivate the social virtues and to propagate the knowledge of the art

of Freemasonry so far as your influence and ability can extend. "It means what it says

and covers the world at large. It is by being secretive, by being evasive, by failing to

answer reasonable questions that distrust and suspicions of our motives are

engendered. Let people know the high moral standards required of Freemasons. . .

There is no man so good that he will not be an even better member of society if

he becomes a Freemason."

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 277

With the approach in 1990 of the centenary of the founding of the Grand Lodgeof Tasmania, much of the emphasis at the Annual Communication, held in Hobarton February 25, 1990, was focused on plans for celebrating that anniversary.

As one of the projects for a commemorative memorial for the centenary is to

be related to medical research, a report was received about the progress of TheMasonic Centenary Medical Research Foundation. After quoting the familiar wordsfrom the 12th Chapter of the Book of Ecclesiastes concerning the rigors of the aging

process, the President of the Foundation reminded the brethren that there is still a

long way to go in finding ways to alleviate the medical conditions described in that

p>assage. He said that the Foundation provides an opportunity for the Brethren to

show that they have pondered the lessons in Ecclesiastes and that they wish to offer

financial help to this research. While he was confidant that the Members of GrandLodge would continue to contribute generously, he expressed some discouragement

at the level of community support which the project was receiving. "We are

approaching a number of organizations for assistance," he reported, "but in a land

where sport is king and sponsorship is seen as a divine right, it is not easy to win

external supports."

The Grand Master noted that membership is still a cause for concern. TheGrand Secretary's Report indicated that the membership had fallen from 5,609 to

5,386, i.e., a loss of 223 members. It was encouraging, the Grand Master stated, "to

see some lodges taking positive steps to rekindle interest and enthusiasm by arranging

innovative meetings." He approved, also, of the increased involvement of families

and friends in several functions and projects of lodges which (in his view) "can only

help in the promotion of our aims and ideals."

The President of the Board of General Purposes commented on the

improvement of The Tasmanian Mason in its new format. He congratulated those

who were responsible for its publication and he urged all members of the Craft in

Tasmania to support it. In this connection he made an interesting point: "This

support is twofold: to provide information for inclusion in the paper and to read it

thoroughly when it is published." It is significant that he regarded financial support

as less important than active assistance in its publication and intelligent use of it by

thorough reading.

It was reported that the Board of General Purposes had adopted the concept

of the Widow's Pin for presentation to each Lodge widow. This pin, which is in use

in the Australian states of Victoria and South Australia, as well as in New Zealand,

depicts an incomplete column or pillar symbolising the parting of a member of the

Craft. The use of this pin by all lodges was recommended because "It serves as a

method of recognition amongst widows, encourages Lodges to take an interest in

their widows' welfare and demonstrates to widows that they are not forgotten."

Grand Lodge confirmed the following Ruling by the Board of General Purposes

regarding the Order of De Molay: "That the ruling of 24/8/66 be amended by

providing that there may be. dealings with the Order of de Molay by Freemasons in

their private capacity but there shall be no dealings by Lodges in their official

Page 286: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

278 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

capacity. However, this does not interfere with a Lodge's right to let out its premises

(other than the Lodge Room) for the use of this organization."

Another Ruling by the Board of General Purposes was confirmed by Grand

Lodge to the effect that the usual form of the Installation Ceremony will be used

notwithstanding that the Worshipful Master has been elected to a second term in the

chair.

A Report was received concerning the Masonic Temples Fund. The capital of

that Fund was reported at nearly $100,000.00 comprised of loans to lodges of

$76,111.00 and of $17,906.47 in the bank. A loan may be made by this Fund to a

Lodge requiring financial assistance related to the provision of or repair to its Temple

building. Such loans bear interest at 2%. The Fund is financed by contributions from

individual Masons and by interest earned on its bank balance.

TENNESSEE - 1989

Grand Master - M.W. Bro. Bt. R. Brown, Presiding

Grand Master - M.W. Bro. L. Bruce Austin, Installed

377 Lodges Membership 86,566

The 175th Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of the State of

Tennessee convened in Nashville on March 22, 1989.

In his Annual Report, the Grand Master referred to the fact that Tennessee, in

common with most Grand Jurisdictions, had suffered during the previous year a

reduction of membership from 88,659 to 86,566, which was a loss of 2,093 members.

M.W. Bro. Brown warned the brethren against placing too much importance on the

negative aspects of the statistics. "It is my belief," he said, "we are losing only

members through NPD and not Masons. The Masons will sustain this Grand Lodgein the years to come. Masonry will continue to survive."

M.W. Bro. Brown reported on his interpretation of the two Sections of the

Tennessee Masonic Code which deal with (i) promotion of the interests of a

candidate for either political or Masonic office or (ii) using membership for

commercial purposes, insofar as these two Sections relate to the listing Masonic

membership information in a pxjlitical advertisement. It was his decision that "The

fact that a person running for political office lists his membership in the fraternity,

along with his other civil and/or political memberships and affiliations would not, in

my opinion, be a violation of either of these two Sections of the Code. However, I

would agree that the printing of a Masonic emblem on a business card or in a

business advertisement, or the solicitation of a vote or endorsement as a political

candidate BECAUSE of Masonic membership, would be a violation, subjecting the

offender to Masonic charges and punishment.

The Masonic Education Committee reported that it had undertaken a project

whereby it purchases books on Freemasonry, taking advantage of discounts for

quantity purchases and resells them at cost to individual Masons. The Committeereported sales in excess of one hundred books.

In the Report of the Historical, Library and Museum Committee, members ofGrand Lodge were reminded that the Library and Museum had been established

barely one year earlier. In that year, however, a room in the Grand Lodge Building

which formerly had been a lounge had been converted into the main room of the

new facility. Twelve large display cases had been installed and progress was being

made with reference to several book cases. This seems to be very much a "handson" project by volunteers. The display cases were constructed and installed by various

members on their own initiative, using materials paid for by contributions from lodges

and individuals. The Committee extended its thanks to the membership for the

generous support it had received: "You, my Brethren, are to be highly commendedfor your support of this endeavour. Several thousand dollars for the Library andMuseum fund were given or pledged even before the close of the 1988 Grand LodgeCommunication."

UTAH - 1989

Grand Master — M.W. Bro. James Arthur Mclntire, Presiding

Grand Master - M.W. Bro. Lynn J. Brady, Installed

31 Lodges Membership 3,751

The 117th Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of he State of Utah was

convened in Salt Lake City on January 30, 1989, with M.W. Bro. James A. Mclntire

presiding. During the preceding Masonic year there had been four Occasional

Communications related to laying or rededicating cornerstones and one for the

purpose of dedicating a lodge.

In his Annual Address the Grand Master reported on several decisions which he

had made during the course of the year. In one of these he "approved a request

from the Salt Lake Masonic Temple Board to permit the Rosicrucian Order to meet

in an undedicated Room in the Salt Lake Temple."

With respect to the condition of Masonry, M.W.Bro. Mclntire said, "I am well

satisfied that Masonry in Utah is on the move. Although membership still declines,

an audit of the Lodges shows that five Lodges held their own and two Lodges posted

an increase." He congratulated the members of a lodge who had been forced to

vacate their Temple about a year previously because the building had become

structurally unsafe. After considerable difficulty they located a suitable property and

proceeded to erect a new building. "During this struggle," he said, "they have been

meeting and doing degree work." He noted particularly that, as a result of their

strength, they lost no members notwithstanding problems with the building.

280 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

At the conclusion of his expressions of thanks to all of those who had assisted

him during the past year, M.W. Bro. Mclntire summed up in one quotation his

reminiscences of his term as Grand Master, as well as his whole Masonic experience:

"Behold, how good and pleasant it is for Brethren to dwell together in unity."

The Grand Orator, in his Annual Address, commented on the importance of the

Grand Master's theme of MASONIC UNITY. He stated that "Unity does not happen

automatically. It has to be systematically pursued." The Grand Orator then

enumerated the requirements for Masonic unity: (a) consensus of goals; (b) correct

alignment of the appendant organizations; (c) proper understanding of the goals of

Masonry and of the roles of individual Masons; (d) appropriate performance

measurements.

The Committee on Lodge Returns reported that the total membership in Utah,

as of December 31, 1988, was 3,751; this was 136 fewer than at the end of the

previous year. It was noted, however, that the rate of decline was lower than it hadbeen in recent years.

The Utah Masonic Youth Foundation reported that it had completed its second

year of operation and that it continued to experience considerable success. It wasreported that the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Awareness Program Committee continued

to "concentrate on educating parents about the signs, symptoms and effects of

chemical substance abuse in children." The Constituent Lodges, as well as Eastern

Star Chapters, have acted as distributing agencies for a video tape entitled, "How ToTalk To Your Kids About Growing Up Without Drugs and Alcohol." Local religious,

business, educational, service and civic organizations have used this production andhave found it helpful. The Scholastic Assistance Committee administers an active

program of financial assistance to deserving high school students. Funds are madeavailable to high school principals who are responsible for selecting recipients and for

determining what type of assistance is needed. A pilot project is about to be

undertaken which will involve placing appropriate visual materials in designated local

resource libraries, for use by professional counsellors dealing with crises in the family

unit.

The Committee for Masonic Education reported that a paper on the subject of

Lodge Etiquette had formed the framework for the year's programme. It wasrecommended that "The emphasis of the Committee should continue to be designed

for the education of Officers and new members regarding the responsibilities they

have toward the Lodge and other Lodge members." The Committee noted that

"There is a drift away from regular monthly Educational Programs and the proper

amount of preparation dedicated to the Programs."

The Report of the Utah Research Lodge was notable for the frankness with

which the events of the previous year were narrated. The Worshipful Master reported

on the resignation of a Past Master who had been the mainstay of the Lodge. Hecontinued the story in these words: "After he declined to serve ftirther, I reluctantly

accepted the office of Worshipful Master. As I am not inclined to do research and

no one else presented anything, not much was done during the past year." Regarding

Page 289: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 281

a special meeting which was called for the purpose of soliciting help, the Master said,

"A lot of good ideas were presented, but nothing concrete was accomplished." It is

not usual to find such plain talking in an official report.

VIRGINU - 1989

Grand Master — M.W. Bro. Glover Hunter Jones, Presiding

Grand Master - M.W. Bro. Cabell Flournoy Cobbs, Installed

357 Lodges Membership 59,773

In the twelve months preceding the Grand Annual Communication of the GrandLodge of the Commonwealth of Virginia on February 13 and 14, 1989, there had

been five Special Communications (four for the purpose of performing the Ceremonyof Dedication and one in order to lay a cornerstone). In that period, also, there had

been two Emergent Communications to pay Final Tributes of Respect to Past GrandMasters of Masons.

M.W. Bro. Jones thanked the Brethren for their assistance in the successful

application to Masonry in Virginia of his theme for the past year: Freemasonry -- APrized Possession. He stated that "Being a Mason at this time in our history is a

significant experience. Men need Masonry." He went on to stress that the country

needs Masonry, for as Masonry builds men, so men build the nation.

The Grand Master indicated that he had received several enquiries concerning

the extent to which it was proper for a lodge to be publicly involved in community

activities. "Recognizing that this can be over done," he said, "it is my recommendation

that it be an acceptable Masonic practice for a Lodge to participate actively in

community parades and activities with the caution that any participation be engaged

in with due restraint and dignity. We need to show that we are interested in seeing

our communities move in the right direction."

The Grand Master noted that it was natural to want to achieve perfection but

that it was rarely attained. This is true, he said, in Grand Lodge and also in

individual Lodges. Where success has been achieved, he reported, the key to that

success is to be found in the degree to which the Master has been deeply committed,

personally. "Things just do not happen, they are made to happen through the work

and sacrifice of those who want to see success as a result of their labours. Those whojust wanted to get through the year did just that and those who planned and wanted

a good year, did just that." The conclusion of the matter, M.W. Bro. Jones said, is

simply stated: "The state of the Craft is just what we have desired to make it in

1988. In 1989 the state of the Craft should be better than 1988, if we continue to

be good stewards of those valuable teachings left to us from the past."

282 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

Upon his Installation as the 145th Grand Master of Virginia, M.W. Bro. Cabell

Cobbs stated, in his Installation Address, "I have faith in Freemasonry and in

Freemasons. I believe not only in the power of positive thinking, but in the power

of positive action." He proceeded, accordingly, to announce the following edicts:

(i) "Lodges will be opened directly in the degree in which work is to be done and

closed after the work is completed." He felt that this change would eliminate

undesirable delays, enhance the impxjrtance of the degree in the eyes of the

candidate and increase attendance and participation in the work itself.

(ii) Permission was granted for "Junior Wardens to be elected and installed onthe same evening." The reason for this change was that "this will do away with

an ancient shibboleth."

(iii) He noted that few Masons, regardless of rank,"have any real understanding

of the prohibition against solicitation." He remarked, also, that the current

practice in Virginia requires a prospective Mason to have formed a favourable

opinion of the Order before applying for admission but his friends who are

already Masons appear to be prohibited from offering him any help in forming

such an opinion. The Grand Master then stated: "The present situation is

ridiculous. I propose the adoption of the British-Scottish-Canadian doctrine

that there is nothing wrong with a carefully worded, neutral approach to a

worthy prospect."

(iv) Saying that newly raised Masons are given insufficient time to be assimilated

into Craft Masonry before being pressured into joining some other Masonic

group, the Grand Master ruled that "No Master Mason may be solicited to

join any appendant body until six months after being raised or until he shall

have been successfully examined on the Master Mason's catechism."

(v) The Grand Master stated that "We do not operate a reform school; this is an

organization of the highest moral standards and our Brethren are expected to

meet those standards", He indicated, therefore, that he would order that all

Brethren "convicted of felonies, that is offenses bearing pjenitentiary sentences,

will be expelled from the Craft," without exception.

(vi) He announced that, because the previous Council of Administration had been

ineffective, a Board of General Purposes would be instituted.

M.W. Bro. Cobbs concluded his Address with these familiar words: "We may not

yet have it all together but together. Brethren, we can have it all."

Highlights from the Grand Master's address were: 1) the screening of the video"The Freemasons" to all attending the Annual Communication, 2) four leadership

seminars for Wardens, one each season at four different locations, 3) approvedstatement on Solicitation of Candidates, 4) a complete review of the Book ofConstitutions t>y a select committee of senior brethren with a view to updating suchas to permit some very desirable projects for the welfare of masonry.

Two amendments approved were: 1) the apron with which the candidate is to

be invested may be displayed upon a cushion in the S.W. part of the lodge, near the

S.W. pedestal. The S.W. removes the apron from the cushion to do the investiture.

Where applicable, the attending deacon places the divested apron on the cushion

before the investiture commences; 2) to enable a member of a daylight lodge whodoes not possess a dinner suit to visit an evening lodge, the member may wear aconservative lounge suit, white shirt, tie and dark shoes.

One decision taken by the Board with a view to maintaining and increasing

memtjership was allowing lodges to advertise their meetings and functions, subject to

compliance with certain approved guidelines and a copy of each advertisement being

sent to the Grand Secretary for recording purposes.

In his closing remarks the Grand Master commented on the following extract

from the pamphlet "Freemasonry and Religion."

"Freemasonry exhorts its members to worship their Creator in the proper place,

namely the Church or Temple of their own faith. Those Freemasons who excuse

their own shortcomings with respect to the neglect of their own Church or place

of worship by claiming they have no need of them because they attend their

lodge are doing a grievous amount of harm to the Institution they profess to

support."

Repeating the statement:

TELL me and I shall probably FORGETSHOW me and I might REMEMBERBut INVOLVE me and I shall UNDERSTAND

the Grand Master shared his goal of having every Freemason actively involved in his

lodge and promoting the precepts of our order in the community. He is ever

challenged by the words of Robert Kennedy, "Some people see things as they are and

ask why? I dream things that never were and ask why not?"

BANQUET ADDRESS

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Distinguished Brethren and Brethren all:

May I firstly thank you Bro. Irvine very much for your very full introduction.

My mother, who is Scottish and came to live in Montreal with my father, always told

me I was a "good Canuck" - but you can call me whatever you like.

Most Worshipful Grand Master, I was born and brought up in Canada for

about eleven and a half years. I have been back many times since and have travelled

the length and breadth from the Maritimes to Victoria, B.C., but this is the first time

that I have ever been in Toronto, and I say that unashamedly as a Montrealer! We

Page 294: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

286 APPENDIX A

are taught that nature places a sacred and indissoluble attachment to that land

whence we derive our birth and infant nurture and although my permanent homemay be Scotland, my first home is and always shall be Montreal.

May I, Most Worshipful Grand Master, congratulate you very much indeed on

your Address in Grand Lodge this morning. It was a very inspiring start, and I was

fascinated that we seem to share a great many problems and I shall be alluding to

these later on. It was a tremendous pleasure for me, as Grand Master Mason, when

we had our 250th Anniversary of the Grand Lodge of Scotland in 1986, to welcome

Bro. Lou Copeland. It was tremendous fun having him and meeting him, and we met

again four days later in Philadelphia. What an experience Philadelphia was because

I had no Masonic knowledge of Pennsylvania, but it was a phenomenal education and

so nice having met Lou in Edinburgh and meeting him again in Philadelphia at

Pennsylvania's Bi-Centennial, and it is lovely to renew that acquaintance again at this

Annual Communication.

Brethren, life is full of the most remarkable coincidences. When I was at Selwyn

House in Montreal, that was a long time ago - nearly forty years ago - the

Headmaster of that School was one Robert Spiers, a well known Freemason in the

province of Quebec, although I didn't know that at the time. When I was Provincial

Grand Master of the Royal Order of Aberdeen and Kincardine, I went, as I was duty

bound to do, to attend the Annual meetings in July in Edinburgh and, as I was

arriving in Freemason Hall, who should I see walk through the door in Edinburgh

thirty years or more after I had left Montreal, but my former Headmaster, Robert

Spiers, who was Provincial Grand Master of the Royal Order of Quebec. Now that,

brethren, brought home to me, more than anything else, the value and meaning of

Freemasonry. It really melted my heart to think that, after thirty years, a pupil and

his Headmaster, who had been separated by over 3,000 miles for thirty years, should

suddenly come together again as we did. That made a very lasting impression upon

me. And still on the Canadian theme, when I was still Grand Master in 1988, in the

Spring of 1988 on the way back from an around-the-world trip and visiting our

various lodges in Australia, New Zealand and South America, I called in at Lodge

St. Pauls, Montreal No. 374 where they very kindly arranged a special meeting. It

was my father's lodge and I can remember, as a boy, him joining and I can

remember him learning his ritual, and that was a very, very special evening for meto be in his lodge. He died about ten years ago and I was amazed as I went into

the lodge room to see the photographs of all his friends whom I had known as a boy.

They very kindly made me an honorary member of that lodge and I shall treasure

that all my life. So it is very nice to keep the connections with Canada. I am still a

Canadian citizen believe it or not and still travel on a Canadian Passport. It took forty

years for the British to give me citizenship!

Can I explain one thing. Many of you have been asking where I live in Scotland.

Well I live thirty-five miles West South West of Aberdeen, now known as the oil

capital of Europe. Dinnet is also about twelve miles East of Balmoral Castle where

the Queen stays in the summer. So that may give you some idea. For the fishermen

amongst you, I live right on the river Dee and have a stretch of fishing, some of the

finest salmon fishing in the world.

APPENDIX A 287

Now what I want to do is to get a bit serious and to turn to Freemasonry in

the United Kingdom. Our problem in the U.K. is really one connected with the

media, and I mean newspapers and television, and radio too. It was interesting to

hear, Grand Master, that you have somebody who handles the media for you. I wish

we had somebody who could handle the media for us. We tried. Basically, it is the

national newspaper and the main T.V. coverage who really try to take it out onFreemasonry at every opportunity. The reason they do it is quite simple - that sells

newspapers and prime time, and there is nothing like running a film of Jack the

Ripper again and again, which R.B.C. T.V. seems to do, to stir up this anti-Masonic

feeling, and the papers of course choose every opportunity, whether it be the Police,

or judiciary or Members of Parliament. Anyone in Office, really, they try to bring

down the Masonic connection. Happily, local newspapers aren't so bad, and they want

information about Freemasonry which they are usually happy to print in a good vein.

This all extends from a poor public perception of what Freemasonry is about, and

I am afraid that the media and the public at large have the perception that

Freemasonry is a totally secret society, is totally self-centred and mainly, if not

entirely, white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Now nothing can be further from the truth.

One of the facts in Britain, as a whole over the last fifty years, is there has been a

tendency for people to be very secretive about their charities. This was done in the

best of motives at the time; it was done because brethren wanted to do their

Freemasonry privately and wanted to do their charitable work without any fuss. I can

understand this, but nowadays if you clam up p^eople will automatically think that you

have something to hide. So both in Scotland and in England and no doubt in Ireland,

we are doing our very best to encourage brethren when they are asked about

something to do with Freemasonry, to take time out, explain Freemasonry, and

explain our charitable work. I do this at every opportunity and it has the most

remarkable effect. People say to me, "Oh, you are a Freemason. Of course you can't

tell me anything about it." I say, "Of course I can - what do you want to know." I

sit down and explain anything they want, mainly about our charities, and it does a lot

of good to help improve the perception of what Freemasonry is about. So take a few

moments and explain to non-Masons, whether they be male or female, just what we

are. Now another thing that hasn't helped is the attacks that have been made on

Freemasonry by the Churches in the U.K. Really, they ought to have known better,

but I am afraid it reflects a rising tide of fundamentalism which has been creeping

into Churches of all denominations. We in the Grand Lodge of Scotland had

meetings with working parties of both Methodists and the Church of Scotland. Weanswered their questions, all of them, in full and in great detail. We had eyeball-to-

eyeball meetings with them and said, "Look, this is what it is all about. Perhaps

before you produce your report, you would come back to us and clarify any point

on which you are not clear." Did they do that? No sir. They published their reports

damning Freemasonry. But we will get over it. There was a case in the central belt

of Scotland where after the Church of Scotland's General Assembly came out with

its report on Freemasonry and said, "We ask all members of the Church of Scotland

who are Freemasons to re-think their Masonic connection." One minister climbed into

the pulpit one Sunday and regaled the congregation about the sins and evils of the

Freemasons and didn't seem to notice that some of the ladies were reduced to tears.

Afterwards he discovered that fourteen out of sixteen elders of that church were

members of the Craft. Unfortunately the working parties that we met and their

fellow travellers had their minds made up and it didn't matter what we said. They

Page 296: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

288 APPENDIX A

didn't really want to know. When the Church of Scotland's working party report was

made public, it just so happened that the Grand Secretary, and the Grand Master

Mason, were both out of the country. The report was left to me to deal with and

I have to say that it wasn't all negative; there were some good points that did comeout in this report, particularly with regard to funeral arrangements for deceased

brethren. Many asked for Masonic input in the funeral service and some ministers

said "no way." This of course caused tremendous distress to the relatives of the late

brother, and that has now been sorted out by the Church of Scotland's working party

who said, "For goodness sakes, in a situation like this, ministers do have to have somesensitivity and if the relatives want Masonic input for the late brother's funeral, let

them have it." Let's get on with our lives. So there has been some good come of it.

One of the interesting matters was that I had to do a number of short T.V.

interviews and I agreed to do what many would describe as "hostile radio interviews,"

and these were designed to give me a good grilling, but they hadn't bargained on whothey were getting to try to grill and I'm afraid I gave them better than I got! There

was a lady interviewer who became so rabidly anti-male and anti-Freemason that she

completely lost her case, but it went over reasonably well, in fact it jammed the

switchtxDard of the B.B.C. in Glasgow and they had the largest mailbag ever. I also

had to do a live T.V. programme and that was good because they couldn't edit it!

When one is under attack like this from so many quarters, I think it is time to

go back to our first principles and this is what we are doing, going back to our three

great principles and trying to see where we can improve on the public perception of

Freemasonry. The first principle is Brotherly Love. We all know what we mean by

that, or do we? It means that you can meet on the floor of a Masonic lodge a

Brother as an equal, irrespective of his colour, religion or background. How often dowe get that across? Not often enough! I am happy to say that in my travels

throughout Scottish lodges, the world over, I have been vastly impressed by the

tremendous variety of colour, creed and background in all our Scottish lodges. Toillustrate this, I will tell you a little story. I was out in Kuala Lumpur, just three years

ago, installing the District Grand Master of our Middle East region. After his

Installation, the Grand Secretary went up to him and said, "Hang on Peter you're a

Tamil, yet you took your obligation on the Bible." "Oh," said Peter," that doesn't

matter, what's good enough for the Grand Master is good enough for me." That is

the spirit which pervades Freemasonry, and that is the kind of spirit which we should

be getting across to non-Masons. TTiat is what Freemasonry is about. It doesn't

matter, we are all brethren.

Our second principle. Relief. The perception again is that Freemasonry and

the charitable work of Freemasonry is for Freemasons only. How wrong they are.

Earlier tonight, the Brass Band organizer said, "What wonderful work you do here

in the area of drug abuse among children." We do everything we can in the United

Kingdom to support both local and national charities and it is really heartwarming

going the length and breadth of Scotland and seeing that every lodge has its own pet

charity. Not just for itself, but it will be for a good local cause; it may be guide dogs

for the blind; it may be for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, or

whatever, but they are dedicated to supporting local and national charities, because

we care. We must show that we are a caring organization - that we care for others

Page 297: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

APPENDIX A 289

in the communities in which we live.

Now, I shall mention the Royal Scottish Masonic Homes. We raised, eventually,

one million pounds to expand our Masonic Homes in Scotland. We have a newHome in Edinburgh, The Sir James McKay House, and a new one in Bridge of Weirnear Glasgow, which is due to open this autumn. So if any of you feel like going backto the West, or the East for that matter, there may be a place waiting for you. Thesehomes are not necessarily for Masonic brethren or their families. They may get

priority, but if we have vacancies and there are no applicants ready to fill them andif there are applicants on State waiting lists, we will handle them. So we are

continuing to provide a lead, through the Masonic Homes, throughout all

communities in which we live, and this is important to get across. I was extremely

impressed, travelling and visiting the Scottish lodges, at the wonderful job that British

Freemasonry in general is doing. In New Zealand, they have a magnificent Home in

Auckland. Now that is a tremendous thing for Freemasons to provide when you

consider there are sixty-six million sheep in New Zealand but only three million

people, and for them to provide out of their donations an even greater facility than

we are providing in Scotland, is truly magnificent. They have between six and seven

hundred spaces of accommodation, and a fifty-five bed Hospital, and that is done

through the Grand Lodge of New Zealand supported by the English, Scottish and

Irish Freemasons. That happens to a greater or lesser degree in Australia, Africa, and

I even saw it happen in Santiago, where I was explaining to the Grand Lodge of

Chile what I had seen in Australia and New Zealand. They took me to see a two

hundred apartment housing scheme they were starting. In fact, even up in the

mountains of Peru, I was taken by a Peruvian Brother to a very poor village and

beyond it to a lodge which was built by their own hands. They are now building,

again with their own hands, a thirty unit home for that village, and it was very

impressive seeing that being done right in the mountains of Peru.

Now the third great principle is Truth. The Scottish perception I'm afraid is that

Freemasons drink too much and use their Freemasonry for their own advantage.

Many people profess, unfortunately, "I want to join the Freemasons so that I can get

ahead and better myself." But you all know that that is totally contrary to our

concept, and if anyone thinks that by joining Freemasonry that they are going to

improve their lot then they don't get to first base. We must get across our moral

code. We had, about ten years ago, as many as 10,000 initiates a year. That has now

dropped to some 5,500. We have tightened up very considerably our application form.

It is quite a lengthy document, which has to be properly completed and signed by the

proposer and the seconder. We were finding that we were getting people into

Freemasonry who, quite frankly, we would have been better off without. Some were

turning out to have had criminal records and, of course, they were not well enough

known to the proposer and seconder. So we have now tightened up and we would

rather have fewer initiates of a higher quality, than have the numbers we used to be

getting and then have to kick them out. I am afraid we are having to expel a regular

number of people at each quarterly communication. The Grand Lodge of England

is having to do the same. They now have an application form, similar to our own,

for the same reason. So we are trying to do our best to clean up Freemasonry in the

U.K Of course we can't cope with the continuous lies from the media who say that

nearly all Policemen are Freemasons and to go further in the Police Force you must

Page 298: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

290 APPENDIX A

be a Freemason. You've just got to live with that kind of lie and try and prove them

wrong. Not an easy thing to do. One of the things I saw as I was looking around

Grand Lodge this morning as we were all sitting there - I was sitting up where I

could get a good view of everybody else - and I saw there was quite a sartorial

elegance amongst the neckwear. It reminded me of the late edict that came out from

the United Grand Lodge of England, that members attending Grand Lodge would

wear black ties only, nothing else. I don't mean nothing else! I'm sorry, that slipped.

One thing we do have, which I think is extremely valuable, is an annual

tripartite meeting in the U.K. between the Grand Lodges of England, Ireland and

Scotland, so that we keep an eye on the problems of the day and make sure that weall speak with the same voice on any matter affecting Freemasonry in the U.K.

If I can now turn to Scotland for a moment, you will see in the year book

that came out this morning, that there are something like 659 lodges in Scotland and

473 Scottish lodges abroad, of which there are 16 in one of the Canadian Provinces,

Newfoundland, and I had great pleasure in installing the R.W. District Grand Master,

Harold Ryan, five years ago.

We incidentally have the oldest written Minutes of a Masonic Lodge to survive,

dated L598. The workings of the lodges continue to give great satisfaction, and I said

earlier we are down to about 5,500 candidates per annum. We are extremely

impressed by the quality of the degree work, and whether it is in Lima or Nigeria or

in Korea, the quality of degree work is very high indeed. I was particularly impressed

in Zimbabwe when I saw a degree worked in Bulawayo. One of the lectures was

given by a young Mason of Greek origin, and English doesn't come easily to an

immigrant. But he managed to get his tongue around our ritual extraordinarily well

and made a first class effort.

We are at the moment in the process - we have an ad hoc committee in GrandLodge - of looking into the whole structure of Grand Lodge and its finances, and

I was very interested to hear from you, Most Worshipful Grand Master, about Life

Memberships and how you are thinking of drafting guidelines, and we have exactly

the same problem in Scotland. You are also appointing a money manager to look

after your portfolio for you and we are doing exactly the same thing in Scotland. Oneof your notices of motion was regarding the Lodges of Instruction and Research,

and here again in Scotland we have Lodges of Instruction and Research. What weusually do is re-pone a lodge which has become dormant. Now in simple terms, weget it going again, and you only need one brother of the lodge to sign the application

form. Two or three years ago a lodge which had formerly been operating in Adenand had moved was re-poned in Scotland and brethren appeared from all over the

world and came back to the re-poning ceremony. It was really a heartwarming

experience to see how many original members of that Aden lodge came back to

Scotland to get it off to a good start as a Lodge of Instruction and Research.

The Ibrox lodge - I wish it all success. Ibrox of course is the home of Rangers

Football Club. I am a supporter of Aberdeen. Nevertheless, I wish that lodge all

success for its future!

Page 299: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

APPENDIX A 291

You were talking about Freemasonry being on the cheap, and I am afraid I

think in Scotland we have had it that way for too long and we now have to put ourhands more deeply into our pockets. We now have the poll tax upon us. It doesn'tdirectly affect lodges in Scotland, but it does affect us as individuals. Lodges have to

pay nonbusiness rates and there has recently been a revaluation. Some lodges havehad their rates increased by up to 270%. Now, these are small rural lodges and if

they are going to have to face increases in rates they are going to go to the wall and,frankly, I think that this may kill off Freemasonry in rural areas far quicker than anylack of candidates.

Eastern Europe is truly a remarkable situation. It is incredible how quickly the

Berlin Wall collapsed and how the population is coming into the Europeancommunity. You will note today that the Grand Lodge of Hungary has beenreconstituted and also the Grand Lodge of Yugoslavia and, I understand, the GrandLodge of Czechoslovakia is also in the process. But, before we go leaping off to

welcome them, we must make sure that they are regular Grand Lodges. We mustnot lose sight of the fact that we are regular Freemasons and that we have beendealing with regular Grand Lodges, so before we welcome them with open armswe've got to make sure that they will adhere to the path of regularity.

Brethren, I was in Jerusalem earlier this year, and that really is a remarkable

experience. Going back and seeing the site of King Solomon's Temple - I was even

in King Solomon's Mines - a wonderful experience. I know that some of you here

have been there as well, quite recently. It gets the whole thing into persp)ective, and

leads you to start the whole of your Masonic thinking right from the beginning; you

can see where Herod built the second Temple, and so on. What I hadn't realized was

that Jerusalem, quite apart from being the most Holy City for Christianity and

Judaism is, after Mecca and Medina, the third most Holy City of Islam.

Brethren, I was reading through what other guest speakers had been saying

at this dinner and I noticed that in 1966 you had Sir Edwin Leather to address you.

Now amongst his many accomplishments, he happens to be my wife's Godfather. Hequoted from a report of the first official Grand Lodge of England deputation to the

Far East in 1928, when they saw as many as five Volumes of the Sacred Law in use

at one and the same time. Brethren, I have seen exactly that in New Delhi four years

ago - five Volumes of the Sacred Law opened at the Silver Jubilee of the Grand

Lodge of India. It was a powerful experience and there were present Sikh, Hindu,

Parsee, Jew, Christian, you name it, they were there, and that shows that there can

be brotherly love amongst all races of men. The brotherhood of man in such

circumstances indeed becomes a living reality, and at this particular time we must do

all in our power to further and strengthen this vital brotherhood and, in so doing,

improve the public perception of what is meant by Freemasonry.

DEPUTY GRAND MASTER'S THANKS TO R.W. BRO. HUMPHREY:

Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Right Worshipful Bro. Marcus Humphrey,

Distinguished Head Table Guests and my Brethren:

Page 300: Proceedings: Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Canada, 1990

2M APPENDIX A

It is with great pleasure and a sincere sense of admiration that I rise on this

occasion to extend thanks to R.W. Bro. Humphrey for a fine Address.

R.W. Sir, you have come thousands of miles to our great country firom your

home in Scotland to bring us a message, which has been delivered with great sincerity

and a great sense of purpose, and which has been received with enthusiasm t>y all

here assembled as evidenced by their spontaneous response and applause. You cometo us as a great leader of our Craft from distant shores and you have far surpassed

our fondest expectations.

Our Grand Master, M.W. Bro. David Bradley, has indeed chosen well in inviting

you to join us in this banquet tonight and to bring us some of your insights into

Craft Masonry from distant shores. Prior to your arrival, our Grand Master told us

that those who attended this banquet tonight would indeed be well rewarded by

having the opportunity of hearing a fine Address from a dedicated Masonic leader

and you indeed, R.W. Sir, have surpassed your advance billing.

You have shared with us some problems which have a familiar ring here in

Ontario. The media "Mason" bashing; the new sense of "Openness"; the problem of

the public's perception of Freemasonry. You have given us a challenge to review andrenew our basic Masonic principles, and you have made it clear that Masons all over

the world are walking together on the same path.

Robbie Burns, another ardent Mason and Scotland's great pxjet, wrote a poemmany years ago and delivered, I understand, at a Masonic Banquet when a famousguest was about to leave. It goes this way:

"When death's dark stream I ferry o'er

A time that surely shall come.

In heaven itself I'll ask no moreThan just a Highland welcome."

I've transposed it some to fit this occasion:

"When meetings end and visits are o'er

A time that surely shall come,

We trust you 'II take our fondest wish

And our hopeful Highland welcomeP'

In closing, may I extend to you, R.W. Sir, a simple though sincere 'Thank You"and our wish and benediction for a safe and comfortable return for you, Mrs.

Humphrey and son Simon to your home in Scotland. Thank you so very much R.W.Sir.
