TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 25
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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. Robert HoustonDundurn Lodge No. 475, Hamilton
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.
34 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
It is with regret that I record the passing of two previous recipients of
the William Mercer Wilson Medal:
Bro. Desider Patzauer of Andor Gero Lodge No. 726 on December 30,
1989, who was awarded the Medal in 1979
Bro. T. Emil Gundersen of Rideau Lodge No. 595 on January 29, 1990,
who was awarded the Medal in 1977

Grand Lodge:
Panama — R.W. Bro. Larry J. Hostine
Colombia (Bogota) — R.W. Bro. A. Edgar DyerIceland — R.W. Bro. James A. J. HughesEngland — M.W. Bro. Bruce B. Foster

GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET
I have invited R.W. Bro. J. M. Marcus Humphrey of Dinnet to be the
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 47
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.

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.
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.
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.

applied retroactively and has increased the 1989 reported net loss for the General Fund by $1,243
and decreased the 1989 reported net loss of the Memorial Fund Income Account by $417. For the
current year the change has increased reported net income for the General Fund by $66,467 and
increased the reported net income of the Memorial Fund - Income Account by $531. Thecomparative figures for the year ended April 30, 1989 have been restated to give effect to the
change in accounting policy.
2. Accounting policies
(a) Investments
Investments in bonds are recorded at cost and generally are held to maturity. Discounts
and premiums on acquisition are not amortized, but are maintained in cost with final gain
or loss recorded on disposition.
(b) Equipment purchases are recorded as current expenses in the appropriate fund.

During the year the Grand Lodge paid rent to a related party in the amount of 542,000.

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. J. D. Jackson, Chairman, andon motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Jackson,
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:
On behalf of the Committee on Warrants, it is my privilege to present ourreport to this the 135th Annual Communication of Grand Lodge.
We are pleased to report that an application for a Warrant has been received
from Ibrox Lodge U.D., located in Brampton, Ontario. The lodge has met all the
necessary requirements and your committee therefore recommends that Ibrox Lodgebe granted a Warrant numbered 740 on the Register of this Grand Lodge and beplaced in Toronto District 1.
The brethren are to be congratulated on the formation of this unique lodge,
which will provide a convenience for so many unaffiliated Masons and especially those
of Scottish origin, with memories of Ibrox Lodge No. 1272, G.R.S. We wish themcontinued success in the ftiture.
While it is our understanding that certain groundwork is being laid towards the
possible establishment of two new Daylight Lodges in urban centres, we cannot be
more specific at this time. The committee does however wish the two groups well in
their endeavours.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

COMMITTEE OF SCRUTINEERS

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.
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

REPORTS OF THE DISTRICT DEPUTYGRAND MASTERS
The 43 reports of the District Deputy Grand Masters were presented

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.
DURWARD GREENWOODChairman
80 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
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
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."

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.
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.
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).
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.
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
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
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
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
this district endeavour.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

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.
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.
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
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.
H. NEIL BRITTONChairman
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.
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
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 95
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Submitted on behalf of our committee members.

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.
Respectfully submitted.

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.

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
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.

lobby of the Library. A letter of thanks was received from Mr. David B. Cameron
(a student under the direction of R.W. Bro. Wallace McLeod) who was allowed to
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
mail requests. A dinner in appreciation and thanks to the volunteers for giving of
their time and efforts in staffing the Library was held at the Scottish Rite Club.

Your committee wishes to remind the brethren that the mandate and
responsibility of the committee under Sections 70 and 136(d) of the Constitution of
Grand Lodge is to consider the regularity and report on the constitutional validity of
the proposed amendments to the Constitution.
Your committee has considered the proposed amendments to the Constitution
as contained in the Notices of Motion received for presentation to Grand Lodge at
its 135th Annual Communication, 1990, and circulated by the Grand Secretary onApril 30, 1990. Your committee begs leave to deal with them in the order in which

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:
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).
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 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.
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
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.

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.
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.

132 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
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.
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
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
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.
ERIC W. NANCEKIVELLChairman
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.
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
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
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.
ROBERT T. RUNCIMANChairman
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1990 139
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
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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 the Project on Bursaries
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
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.
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.
Wallace McLeodDirector
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
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.
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
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.
152 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
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
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.
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
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.
Presented on behalf of the Board of Directors: T. J. Arthur, F. J. Bruce. H. N.
Britton, R. A. Barnett, N. E. Byrne, R. K. Campbell, A L. Copeland, J. T. Cassie,
W. E. Elgie, W. E. McLeod, A. N. Newell, N. R. Richards, C. J. Woodburn, W. L.

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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.

GEORGIA - 1988
Grand Master — M.W. Bro. Alvin Ray Earwood, Presiding
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
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
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
254 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
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.

"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.
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
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.

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
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.
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."

Of the 732 pages of the Annual Proceedings for 1988, 528 pages provide a
'Roster of Subordinate Lodges' giving the place and meeting date of each lodge, as
well as a list of the names of all officers, living past masters, living 50 year members,
living 40 year members, master masons, fellowcrafts, entered apprentices, admitted,
reinstated, demitted, suspended, and the names (with date of death) of all deceased
members.
When the Grand Master addressed the 189th Annual Communication, he said
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.
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.
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.
MONTANA - 1987
Grand Master -- M.W. Bro. Byron L. Robb, Presiding
Grand Master -• M.W. Bro. Kerry R. Keyser, Installed
126 Lodges Membership 13,579
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
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
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."
NEW ZEALAND - 1988

395 Lodges 6 Amalgamations Membership 29,176
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
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
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 269
Grand Master's Achievement award. Any D.D.G.M. who does not submit required
reports on or before the required date not be granted past rank was recommendedby the Condition of the Order Committee.
A motion to allow relatives to witness Installation ceremonies, and a motion to
remove and replace the ancient penalties in the obligation and adjust other portions
of the ritual accordingly were defeated.
Computerization of membership and Grand Lodge office activities has begun.

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
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.
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
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.

at Grand Lodge. The necrology noted the passing of four Past Grand Masters. The

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
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 273
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
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
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.

Next to the Grand Secretary, the Grand Lodge Library is the main source ofmasonic knowledge for all the brethren in this jurisdiction.
A Charter was granted to the Solomon Lodge of Research. Yellow Grass lodge
No. 96 was granted permission to surrender its Charter.
The following papers were presented at the 47th Inter-Provincial Conference of

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
276 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
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
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.
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 279
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."

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
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
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
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
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
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!
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:
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.
