My Dear Brothers ;

Once again we come to you in the Spirit oFriendship and Brotherly Love, and thank yo

for all the kindness you have displayed as wtravel across the state.

We have been traveling now for a little ovfour months and we have enjoyed visiting witall of you; your generosity and hospitality habeen over the top and greatly appreciated.

The honor you have bestowed on me tserve the Craft I love so much leaves me without words by which I can describmy appreciation except to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart fomaking my dream come true, I pray the Lord gives me all the wisdom necessar

to lead the Fraternity in the right direction, I know with your help it can baccomplished.

As the District Deputy Grand Masters wind down their Official Visits tthe Lodges, the reports continue to demonstrate that we have Lodges that fothe third year in a row continue to have the deficiencies without any plan fotheir corrections.

As I have contacted the Lodges to discuss the different situationencountered by the District Deputy Grand Master, we have offered each anevery Lodge an opportunity to contact their local District Chairmen, ZonChairmen, State Chairmen, or Grand Lodge Officers to assist them in th

correction of the deficiencies, which can be easily taken care of.Other deficiencies may require slightly more dedication and commitmenon the part of the Master and Officers. However with the assistance of thBrethren of the Lodge, the District Chairmen, Grand Lodge Zone & StatAppointees, and Grand Lodge Officers all of them can be eliminated regardleof the size of the Lodge. It is the dedication and commitment that will maka difference. Be a Leader; Make it Happen.

I ask my Brothers to join with me and the Grand Lodge Officers in makinthe corrections necessary in our Lodges that our posterity may have the roato their future paved with proper knowledge of the operation of the Lodge

and the proper duties of the Officers and Brethren of the Lodges, in whicthey can build on. Please do not follow me, but rather lets walk side by side awe work together. Together we can make a difference, leave your Lodge a legacyou can be proud of.

Soon, you will be receiving a letter with information on our yearlfundraiser, this year following our commitment to help the Lodges anDistricts at the local level all the funds derived from this fundraiser will bdedicated to the Florida Child ID Program. It is our goal and desire to haveuniform Child ID across this great state; it is our hope to showcase this programin Tallahassee. If we can get an opportunity to meet with our Legislators an

Sheriff Association. We hope we can get their support andendorsement of this program, that it may open doors ofLaw Enforcement Agencies across the state.

The Grand Lodge of Florida has developed a programthat will allow us to be able to put together a completeChild ID Program kit that can be delivered to the Lodgesin the Districts and use the funds raised to cut the cost of

the programs in half.In other words we will meet you half way and deliver

a complete kit for just $300.00 dollars. There is no reasonwhy we cannot make this a reality and have it uniformacross the state.

If you have any questions about the program please donot hesitate to contact the State Chairman, Grand Lodgeor myself for further information.

I kindly would ask you to support this fundraiser asbest you can, because this is being handled in house all the

proceeds will go to the program. There will only be oneappeal, please donate as liberally as you possibly can, it is agreat cause.

Our next project is a little bit more ambitious; howeverIm certain that with your help it will come to fruition andthat is to have a Florida License Plate with the MasonicEmblem on it. This is something that the Craft have

wanted for many years and I think the time has arrived forus to get it accomplished.

When the time comes I need that each of you, and if

possible that you reach out to your family and friends tofill out a petition. These petitions can be forwarded to yourState Representative and Senator or brought back to theLodge, where they will be picked-up and delivered to theHouse and Senate members.

It is our goal to be able to meet the Legislatures anddeliver the petitions and show them all the things theFlorida Masons do for their community from Child ID toStudent Scholarships, helping the local children sportsclubs or adopting a classroom or a teacher, from assistingthe needy with food baskets during the holidays to seeingthat children whos families have been victims of thiseconomy can have somewhat of a Christmas. All of theseactivities while caring for our Brother and Sisters well beingat the Masonic Home without them being a charge to thegovernment.

This will help us in a couple different ways; it willadvertise our Fraternity and at the same time it will helpus raise much needed funds for the Masonic Home ofFlorida, all funds received will go into the Masonic Home

Endowment Fund in order to increase our principle. Athe end of this article we will show you a picture of thelicense plate.

My Brothers, our Craft needs each and every one of uto renew our obligations, dedication, and commitment tothe Craft, history has proven to us over and over again whacan be done when men dedicate themselves to a cause. I ask

you again to join me, My Brothers in a crusade to stampout apathy, laziness, and indifference from our Fraternity

If you are a Brother that has not attended the Lodge ina while, I ask you to please come out and be present, if youcannot get to your Lodge, please let them know or let mknow, I can see to it that someone visits you. It is my visionthat all the Brothers of the Lodge are in touch with eachother regardless of where they are; we are a Band oBrothers and in need of that human touch I ask you not toleave it to the Secretary that is already tasked, make the

effort I believe it has got to be worth it. Let us practiceBrotherly Love and Affection, like it was intended for thiBrotherhood.

We can start today by holding accountable those thaare in charge of our Lodges.

Have they fulfilled their obligations to the best of theiabilities without excuses; have they led or did they have tobe pushed to do their jobs.

You as a member of your Lodge deserves the besrepresentation and nothing less. Do not settle fo

mediocrity, step up and do the right thing for your Lodgeand for your Craft, get involved.My Brothers this is a Fraternity of volunteers

Volunteers are men who are willing to sacrifice, dedicateand commit themselves to help others. Brothers there is nobetter description of a Mason for we are men who commidedicate and sacrifice that we may not only serve ouLodges and Brethren but that we may also do for those thacannot do for themselves whether they belong to ouFraternity or Community.

In closing, with the holidays fast approaching I wanto wish all of you Happy Holidays from my family to yoursand may the Great Architect of the Universe protect, guidand give you all the blessings you so richly deserve.

Your Humble Servant and Brother,

Jorge L. Aladro, Grand Master

As your Deputy GrandMaster I am the Chairman of theBoard of Trustees of the MasonicHome. In this capacity I am

concerned with maintaining abudget which will ensure adequatefunding to support our five star

facility. Recent discussions with our financial advisors haveidentified a need to increase our Masonic HomeEndowment funds in order to meet the needs of our Home.

We were very fortunate in the last quarter of last yearsfiscal year to obtain the funds necessary to support this

years needs, however this trend is not expected to last.We have several programs whereby we can help

support our Masonic Home. The first, and most simple,program is the Let Your Pennies Make Good Cents(LYPMGC) program. As with all programs to support ourMasonic Home, it is on a strictly voluntary basis. Themembers are asked to donate 2 cents per day , or $7.30 per

year. This program receives approximately $300,000 peryear. Wouldnt it be great if we could double or triple thisamount? We can accomplish this with little effort on your

part. If everyone would just set aside $2.00 each month wecan help keep our five star rating.

The second program we have to support our Home isthe MH-100 program. Many feel that they have to make

a $100.00 donation in order to be part of this programhowever any donations are greatly appreciated and will gofar to provide financial support for our home.

The third method of contributing is through the Wills

and Gifts program. Every Grand Master has a goal oreceiving $1 million each year via this program, howeverthese goals have not been met for the last couple of yearsIf you are writing your will, please keep the Masonic Homein your estate planning.

Another program which has recently been adopted bythe Grand Lodge of Florida to provide assistance to ourMasonic Home is the Charitable Gift AnnuityProgram.

This program has been adopted by many other

organizations such as Colleges and Universities to providefinancial assistance upon the death of a contributor

Details for this program are available via pamphlets inevery Lodge and on both the Grand Lodge and MasonicHome web sites.

Brethren we need your assistance in order to continuefunctioning as a Five Star Facility so please help us in any

way you can.

A Message From The Deputy Grand Master

Brethren,Id like to take this

opportunity to discuss the state ofour Fraternity or more specifically

the state of our lodges, the state ofour Grand Lodge, and the state of

our Masonic Home.

The State of our LodgesWhat is the physical condition of the lodge? Our

lodges are getting older and so is the equipment. Do thedues cover the expenses? What are the fees for the degrees?How many new members are being brought in? Whattraining are the lodge officers receiving? What training are

new members receiving? Are we moving forward in apositive manner? What can we as Grand Lodge officers doto assist you?

The State of our Grand LodgeThe Grand Lodge building is a Grand old building

in need of repairs. As we begin traveling around the StateI have been discussing the need to balance next years GrandLodge budget with an increase in per capita tax. Our GrandLodge building is getting older, as well as, the equipmenand our problem is not with the day to day expenses. It is

with the extraordinary items. Our Grand Lodge buildingis in need of repairs and/or modernization due to codrequirements. Specific items include the parking lot, the ai

conditioning system, the roof, and the elevator.My Brothers, next year the Craft will again have the

opportunity to pass legislation to increase our per capitatax. Should that legislation pass in 2013, please rememberthat it wont be collected until 2014, and will not beavailable for use until 2015 (three years from now).

I urge you to carefully consider the need and if you

have any questions, suggestions, ideas, comments, orconcerns, please let me or any of your Grand Lodge officersknow. I can be reached at [email protected] or813-624-3696(C). Lets work together so we may moveour Fraternity forward. With your help and involvementthere is nothing we cant overcome.

The State of our Masonic HomeHere we have a five star facility. Here, again our

problem is not with the day to day expenses, but that ofthe extraordinary items such as: the roof and parking lot.

The kitchen equipment is also getting older. Our budget

here becomes more of an income problem rather than anexpense problem. We need more income! This is why ourGrand Lodge committees such as Let Your Pennies MakeGood Cents, the MH-100, and Wills and Gifts are soimportant. We also have the potential of increased incomefrom the Gift Annuity Program and a huge potential if weare able to get on board with the motor vehicle tag program

In conclusion, my Brothers, I have presented somequestions and, hopefully, some information for you toconsider. Your Grand Lodge officers are here to help, aidand assist you in whatever your needs may be. We serve at

your pleasure.Let us know your thoughts and opinions. Let us know how

we may help!

Respectfully and fraternally,James W. Ford

My Brothers,We have had a great start to

our Grand Lodge Year. TheDeputy Grand Master, Senior

Grand Warden and I, alongwith our ladies, had a most

interesting and educating trip to New York. We spenttime at the MMRL, and the Masonic Home of New York.

The laboratory tour was most informative andintroduced us to what seemed to be Star Warstechnology.

Our money is helping accomplish many things thatwere only dreams a short time ago. The Home was alsovery interesting. They have many different issues to

contend with, including their sheer size, over 500 residents,and especially their weather.

In early August, we went to the South Eastern MasonicConference. During our short stay, we met and talked withour counterparts in several other states. It was mostinformative to see that they have the same problems we

have. We have established a rapport with them that willbe most helpful in the future.

We continue to travel around the State visiting bothDistrict meetings and regular Lodge communications. I

want to invite all Junior Wardens of the Lodges in eachDistrict to come out and visit the District meetings. This

will give me the opportunity to shake your hand and getto know each of you.

Brethren,This is always an exciting

time of the year when programsand charities, with many

dedicated Brothers around thestate working hard to make these

goals a reality began to show progress. Our Grand Masterhas revamped several of the old programs, especially in ourMasonic Education area, to enable them to serve the craftin a more productive manner.

This is also an exciting time in our Fraternity as we areseeing an increase of membership in most of our ParticularLodges. Many of the other Grand Jurisdictions in theUnited States are reporting an influx of new members as

"The History of Corky's Cupboard"

Coreen Brownell, "Corky", came up with the idea in

1990, to hand out sundry items and health & beauty aids toresidents, received from donations.

She was a member of the Masonic Home Service Guildwhose members volunteer here and who are also EasternStar members. She initiated a state-wide plea for donationsand they started coming in from Lodges and Chapters, andonce a week, an area in the "Mailroom" was opened andnamed in her honor, "Corky"s Cupboard", for the purposeof supplying the residents with daily toiletry needs.

These items are listed below. Corky ran the Cupboard

for many years until her passing. It continues to be run bythe Service Guild, and is entirely sustained through kinddonations of items, and cash to buy the items the residentneed the most!

The Masonic Home of Florida would like to thank alof you who have made contributions to this wish list in the

past. Through your generosity we have received many itemsSend donations to: 3201 1st St. N.E. St. Petersburg, FL

This year we will be redoing theentrance to the Home by removing the existing non-operating fountain, enclosing walls, and retiling the floorcreating a larger and more open sitting area for the residentsand adding a self-contained waterfall over a granite slabhonoring all of those who have worked and contributedto a Tradition of Caring for the Brethren yesterday,today, and tomorrow.

Wills & Gifts Committee

Masonic Home 100 Program (MH-100)

By contributing to the MH 100 Program you aremaking an investment in the security of your future andthat of every Master Mason and his wife. In our advancing

years we may reach a time when our health may not allowus to either physically or financially support ourselves. OurMasonic Home is there for this specific purpose and weare here to continue to give "so far as we are able."

Charitable Gift Annuity Program

It is no secret that our Masonic Home EndowmentFund has been one of the most critical issues on our GrandLodge agenda in recent memory. Many ideas have beenimplemented to insure the growth of this sacred trust, but

inflation and empty beds at the facility have led to the useof principal from the account to fund the Home's budgetfor the last few years. We must continue our endeavors togrow the principal. If we do not commit ourselves to this,then we will be forced to continue tapping that principal

which will ultimately lead to the demise of the Home aswe know it. Wills and Gifts is one way to adhere to thatcommitment

Give Yourself a Gift

Could you use more income? Would you like to helpthe Masonic Home in St. Petersburg? How about a big taxdeduction? Are you avoiding selling an asset because youdowe capital gains taxes? Well, now you can invest in acharitable gift annuity to benefit the Masonic Home that

will help with all of the above.With interest rates so small they are barely visible, it is

difficult for retired brothers to keep the bills paid with onlythe income from their savings. Since too little interest iscoming-in, spending principle becomes necessary and the

scary prospect of running out of money before running outof years becomes very real. A charitable gift annuity is away to guarantee income payments for the rest of your life no matter how long you live.

How it works: You give a gift of cash, securities orother assets to the Grand Lodge Masonic Home. Thefunds go into an annuity that pays you a guaranteedinterest rate (sample rates shown below) based on your age,

your spouse or someone else youd like to have income for

life. The income payments come as long as you are alive andyou receive a tax deduction immediately.

If you are retired and living off your savings, you havetwo things to worry about; your investment values crashing

(again) and living longer than your money. A charitable giftannuity to benefit the Masonic Home will provide animmediate tax deduction, a decent return, zero volatilityand the satisfaction of supporting a worthy cause thatsupports so many of our Brothers.

So, please consider giving yourself a gift and help theHome to be there for all us in our dotage.

Tree of Life, Granite Plaque, and Brick ProgramsThere are three programs which have become

traditions. One is the Tree of Life.For a $100 donation you can purchase a leaf in honor

or in memory of someone special. It costs only $6.00 forthe brass leaf with engraving so $94.00 goes directly intothe Endowment Fund.

Another program is the Masonic Bricks in ourCourtyard. For $50 donation, you can purchase a

beautiful brick which can also be dedicated to someone, aLodge, District, etc.

Planned Giving To Preserve Our Masonic Home

Planned giving refers to several gift techniques thattypically involve your retaining a portion of, or an interestin, the asset that you are giving to charity. Some peopleconsider charitable distributions under a will or trust, lifeinsurance and retirement plan beneficiary designations, andother direct, but deferred, gift arrangements as also being

planned gifts. Direct contributions to local or nationalcharities may be considered, but do not usually provide anyfuture ability in the donor or his or her family to assist inthe charitable direction. A charitable remainder trust is anexception.

Planned gifts can provide you with many benefits.These benefits can include an immediate charitable incometax deduction (even though the charity may not receive any

property until some future date), avoidance or deferral ofcapital gains taxes on appreciated property used to fund the

gift, retained and possible increased income for yourself orothers you may care about, possible assistance in assetdiversification and last but not least, support for yourMasonic Home.

Attracted to the tax-deductible contributions, manyindividuals have amassed significant wealth in their pension

plans and individual retirement accounts. Income tax-deferred retirement accounts allow assets to grow on atax-deferred basis; however the participant incurs ordinaryincome taxation on withdrawals. Roth IRAs are an

exception.If, after death, the retirement account benefits are paid

to anyone but the account owners spouse, those benefitsmay be subject to estate taxation as well (If the ownersestate is above a certain value). While there is an incometax deduction for estate taxes on the withdrawals, thecombination of the two taxes is substantial. If, however,

you leave tax-deferred retirement accounts to a charitableorganization at death, they can transfer these assets withoutincurring any taxation.

As taxation laws change, there are a number of optionsopen to you that can benefit yourself, your spouse, yourfamily and the Masonic Home of Florida. There are anumber of different planned gift options, each of which isuseful in certain circumstances. The goal is to find the

planned gift that is most advantageous to yourself, to yourfamily, and to the Masonic Home.

For more information contact one of the Committeemembers, Grand Lodge or the Masonic Home.

Public Relations and Publicity Committee

My Brothers All;

Welcome to the third issue of The Florida MasonE-News. The Committee Thanks the many, many

Brothers for their positive comments and suggestions onour previous issues.The Committee also Thanks the Brothers who have

submitted the enclosed articles, it is your input that willmake this program a success.

Want to highlight your Lodge, recognize a Brother fortheir efforts in or outside of the Lodge. Send us an article,include a photo or two and well include it in an issue.

Got a membership or community program thatsworking well, share it, others may also be able to use it forthe betterment of their Lodges, well include that in eitherthe E-News or supplement announcement.

The E-News is only one of several items that yourCommittee is working on this year. If you need ourassistance contact your District Committeemen, ZoneChairman or me and well be glad to assist you.

Several of our Brothers have ask, Why dont we printand mail the E-News as not all members have e-mail. Theanswer my Brothers is simple, cost.

Did you know, the printed issue of the Florida Masonyou currently receive costs approximately $8,920 to print

42,656 copies, thats 20 cents per copy. It costs another

$8,200 to mail those printed issues to you, 19 cents,standard U.S. Post Office bulk mail rate. Thats $17,120

per issue to print and distribute. Newspaper print is themost cost effective way to print and distribute information

to you.We currently do this twice a year with a budget of

$17,000. Your Grand Line Officers work hard managingour monies and as the old saying goes to get the best bangfor the buck, to supplement this fund and yourCommittee works hard to raise the additional funds needed

Realizing that the national average for personalcomputers is only 67% of the population, that is why weask that a few copies of the E-News supplements be

printed by the Lodges and made available those Brothers,

without computers, and an announcement made in Lodgeor Trestle Boards, etc., that a issue is available for viewingon the Grand Lodge website for those who have computers

We believe this format of print and electronicinformational distribution currently is our best optionsuntil additional funding or a better format is developed.

Our next E-News will be published January 1deadline for information is December 18.

Fraternally,Worshipful Larry D. Duff - State Chairman

CRUISING for the HEARTMMRL Fundraising Cruise

By; Worshipful David Rosenthal

The weekend of September 7, 2012, five brothers, andthree ladies cruised aboard Royal Caribbeans Majesty ofthe Seas for a wonderful adventure to the Bahamas.

My wife Debbie and I, Worshipful Barry Rosenthaland his wife, Gerri, Rite Worshipful Jim Mcuigg andhis wife Christine, Brother Scott Barrish, and BrotherMark Nach all arrived at the Cruiseport in Port Canaveralon Friday afternoon and off we went to Nassau! FridayEvening was a Party night filled with lots of Dancing andFun into the wee hours. Not too worry we could sleep in.

We arrived in Nassau Saturday at Noon and did themost important thing brothers do for their ladies, helpthem get their shop on!

Then we headed over to Royal Victoria Lodge No.443, which was chartered June 23, 1837. We were met byR W James Bain, District Grand Master of the Bahamasand Turks and R W Peter Cole, Past District GrandMaster of the Bahamas and Turks. Both R W James andPeter gave us a wonderful and historic tour of the facility.

They also gave us some background about the historyof Freemasonry in the Bahamas. Did you know that theOffice of District Grand Master in the Bahamas andTurks has a life term? I didnt.

As time was limited in Nassau it was time to leave ougracious hosts. We bid them farewell and headed to theFamous Straw Market for a little more shopping, itNassau - a great place to shop for jewelry and hand-madecrafts.

Shopping over, it was time to return to the ship fodinner with Chief Officer and Brother Geir Lilleeng othe Majesty of the Seas, a member of North Star LodgeNo. 405 in District 33. Dinner was fantastic. The Fruitof the Vine was present and most definitely enjoyed

Everyone had some great fellowship.When we parted most of us went off to see a grea

juggler perform in the theater and our Brother, ChieOfficer Geir Lilleeng, went off to take a quick nap beforehe needed to go on duty to pilot the ship out of port. TheChief Officer on the ship is also one of the ships Mastersthis means he is also a Captain.

As we said goodbye to beautiful Nassau and set saifor Cococay, Bahamas, we got to enjoy the entertainmenof the evening, a fantastic juggler named Charles

Peachock who was a semi finalist in Americas GotTalent, after the show they had a wonderful midnightbuffet.

We arrived at Cococay and as there are no docks toomoor at the passengers took tenders (smaller boats) tothe shore where there was an island party with Bar-B-QPork and all the fixins. A nice relaxing day! All goodthings must come to an end, so our day at Cococay endedand our trip back to Port Canaveral started.

The Closing Show was nice and after the show severaof us hung out at the Schooner Bar to listen to the Pianoman, Chuck Perry, play for the remainder of the eveningIt was a wonderful way to wind up the weekend.

We arrived back in Port Canaveral at 8 a.m. onMonday Morning where it was time for us to say goodbyeto our sisters and brothers. This cruise was a win-win. A

win for fun and fellowship for all who went, and a winfor our Grand Masters Charity where he received, at hiHomecoming, the donations for the cruise.

I look forward to our next Cruise for the Heart!

W. GRAND ORATORR. W. GEORGE WAAS

PENSAUTOBIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR

R.W. George Waas, current W. Grand Orator and

2010 PDDGM (Dist. 7), has written his autobiographyand memoir, recounting his more than 40-year career as anews reporter and lawyer, as well as his Masonic activities,crediting his work with the Masons as enriching hisretirement years.

His book is entitled "Retired...And Loving It!!!" andwas published recently by AuthorHouse Book PublishingCompany.

My first thought was 'Why do I want to do this'? I'mnot rich, famous or notorious; I haven't survived years of

drug or alcohol abuse. I can't sing, dance or act. Who am Ito write an autobiography/memoir? But the more Ithought about it, the more I realized that I could dosomething special for my family. My oldest daughter isheavily into ancestry research, and I wanted to help that

project along as well," Waas said."I also realized that history is about people, and each

person has a story to tell that is unique; no two people livethe same lives. I thought that if I persevered and did this,it might inspire others to tell their stories. And if I can write

a book about my life, believe me, anyone can write oneabout his or her life," he said.R.W. George divides his work into 11 chapters in which

he discusses his family background; his wife, children andgrandchildren; his "life so far;" his last job; his last few

months on the public payroll; personal observations;retirement anxiety; health issues; retirement: two bigmyths, a few facts and "my plan;" positive thinking, valuesand leadership; and not-so-final final thoughts.

Much of his writing centers on his involvement withthe Masons. R.W. George traces his first involvement withMasonry in 1981 to his appointment as W. Grand Orator

"Being a Mason means so very much to me. I have mademany lifelong friends, and retirement means adding to thisgrowing list. Being a Mason assures an active retirementnot only for me, but for my wife Harriet as well. TheMasons make up a family oriented fraternity, and weeagerly look forward to continued involvement in theactivities which are the hallmark of this great organizationof which I am honored to be a part," Waas said.

The book is available in hard cover, soft cover andelectronic version on AuthorHouse's website "click on

Bookstore, type in my last name next to 'Research' andscroll down"), as well as from Barnes & Noble andAmazon.com.

Orange Blossom Lodge No. 80 - KissimmeeArticle By; Bro. Justin McDonald

W M Kevin Gowen, Worshipful Master of Orange Blossom #80 in Kissimmee and FA100 Committeeman forthe Proud 17th District, has done an outstanding job so far in selling this year's ties. As a result of his efforts and, moreimportantly, the eagerness and support of the Brothers of the Proud 17th District, these ties are rarely in his possessionfor long.

At the Official Visit of R W Ed Sexton to Orange Blossom Lodge #80 on August 20th, attending brothers whohad purchased ties were encouraged to wear them in a show of support for both W M Gowen's efforts and also oursupport for Grand Lodge and the FA100 program. True to its name, the Proud 17th did not disappoint, with over 25brothers sporting the 2012-13 FA100 tie. Several brothers who had not yet purchased ties (they're a hot seller in these

parts) still showed their support by wearing a red tie of some sort."

"WHEN IS A MAN A MASON?Sent in by; Worshipful Patrick Velasquez

When he can look out over the rivers, the hills, and thefar horizon with profound sense of his own littleness in the

vast scheme of things, and yet have faith, hope and courage- which is the root of every virtue.

When he knows that down in this heart every man isas noble, as vile, as divine, as diabolic, and as lonely ashimself, and seeks to know, to forgive, and to love his fellow

man.When he knows how to sympathize with men in their

sorrows, yea, even in their sins - knowing that each manfights a hard fight against many odds.

When he has learned how to make friends and to keepthem, and above all how to keep friends with himself.

When he loves flowers, can hunt the birds without agun, and feels the thrill of an old forgotten joy when hehears the laugh of a little child.

When he can be happy and high-minded amid the

meaner drudgeries of life. When star-crowned trees, andthe glint of sunlight on flowing waters, subdue him like thethought of one much loved and long dead.

When no voice of distress reaches his ears in vain, andno hand seeks his aid without response. When he findsgood in every faith that helps any man lay hold of divinethings and sees majestic meanings in life, whatever thename of that faith may be.

When he can look into wayside puddle and seesomething beyond mud, and into the face of the most

forlorn fellow mortal and see something beyond sin.When he knows how to pray, how to love, how tohope. When he has kept faith with himself, with his fellowman, with his God; in his hand a sword for evil, in his hearta bit of a song - glad to live, but not afraid to die!

Such a man has found the only real secret of Masonry,and the one which it is trying to give to all the world."

Bro. Dr. Joseph Fort NewtonFrom his book, "The Builders."

THE MASONIC CODEBy; Ed Halpaus,

Grand Lodge Education Officer, of Minnesota

A fine Mason I am associated with, (the Master of myLodge,) refers to the Book of Constitutions, which is betteknown as the Masonic Code, in our jurisdiction, as theCode of Conduct: (His choice of words for the Codecaused me to think, and Im glad they did; thank

Worshipful.) On reflection it is an apt name to use becaus

the Masonic Code certainly contains information a Masonshould become familiar with, and those who have will attesthat there is valuable information in it that will direct aMason to proper action: A Code of Conduct.

Another part of Freemasonry that could be referred toas a Code of Conduct would be our degrees. The degrees am primarily referring to are the three degrees of the BlueLodge, but all the degrees of Freemasonry, (i.e. the Scottishand York Rite degrees,) are also lessons in proper conducfor a Freemason. For those who may not be aware; thedegrees of the Rites are all built (more information, if you

will) on the degrees of the Blue Lodge. It is important tostudy the three degrees of the Blue Lodge, but it is alsoimportant to become familiar with and study the othedegrees, (of the Rites,) as well. Masonic Study is truly

productive hobby that will last and be enjoyable for Masons entire lifetime.

The way to study a degree is to take a part of it andlearn about all the symbolism and the meaning of anyallegory that is contained in that part; doing it this way imuch more interesting and effective that trying to learnabout the entire degree, and if it is done in, and by, parts othe degree, before you know it you will have studied andlearned a great deal about the entire degree.

Studying Freemasonry can be done in small amountof time when the time is available. I began to study in this

way was when I was put into a position in my companywhere I needed to do some traveling: Business travel mighseem exciting to some younger men, but Im here to tel

you that is isnt all that much fun being away from you

family to be somewhere to do a job. Spending time in ahotel or motel, no matter how nice it is, does not compareto being in your own home with your family close at hand.

After my first day and night of business travel, withhotel/motel life, which consisted of constant business, astrait back chair, a desk, and a TV; I learned I neededsomething better to do with my small amount of free time.

I went out to my car and got my Masonic Bible, luckily Ihad the habit of always having it in my car, also luckily sinceI was going to be on the road for a while I had also tosseda Masonic book into the car, just in case. Sharon alwayskids me about how I pack for any emergency. This is howand when I began to become a Masonic Student; I foundI really loved studying Freemasonry and I still do.

I have always maintained that the first place to go andlook for the lessons of Freemasonry is in our degree work,that doesnt mean one needs to become a ritualist; you can

learn about the degrees of Masonry without becomingexpert at the memorization of them.

When it comes to a Code of Conduct one of the bestplaces in ritual to look is at the Ashlars, especially thePerfect Ashlar. Most of us, when we go into our LodgeRooms, dont seem to pay much attention to the Ashlars,much less ponder about them. Thankfully some Masonshave, and we can learn from them. One such Mason is ourlate Brother Charles C. Hunt, who was the GrandSecretary of the Grand Lodge of Iowa from 1924 to 1945;

he was also quite a Masonic scholar, many Masons arefamiliar with his work. One of the books he wrote/editedis the Masonic Concordance of the Holy Bible: this book

was reprinted in 1984 by the Masonic Book Club; this is agood book club to be a member of.

Another good book to have is a good dictionary; youcan find information on the Ashlars in a dictionary; notthe perfect and rough as such, but ashlars, and if you readin a Masonic book about the Perfect Ashlar youll findanother name for it is - Perpend Ashlar, and Perpend is inthe dictionary: Perpend: In Masonry, a large stone passingthrough the entire thickness of a wall so as to show on bothsides, and forming a bonder. Brother Hunt tells us thatthe word Perfect is not used in the early Masonic lectures,as it is today, but that the word Perpend is, so the PerpendAshlar is worth knowing about. Since it is a binding stonethe Operative Mason needs to know the nature of thebuilding and the wall it is to be placed in, so he can prepareit properly; i.e. all the exposed surfaces need to be finished

properly and the stone needs to be plumb, square, and level.

Speaking of the Ashlar and Operative Masonry remember the first time I heard part of a talk on it from aGrand Lodge line officer years ago when he mentioned thaSpeculative Masonry, like Operative Masonry, cannomake a Perfect Ashlar out of an imperfect specimenSpeculative Masonry admits only good men; just as theOperative Mason will work only with good stone; flawed

material cannot be made perfect. A rough stone can bmade smooth, but it must be capable of taking the polishor the work will be in vain. Making a stone perfect, muchlike perfecting a man, or carving a statue, is not done byadding something; it is done by taking away: Removing thsuperfluous, brings out what is within and thus is found

what is closer to perfection; this takes time and patienceMentoring a Masonic Brother takes our time and patienctoo.

I dont know if youve attended many Masoni

Cornerstone Ceremonies. When were attending one iteasy to just enjoy it, but it does pay to learn about it. When

we think about it, and what we are told in the degree abouthe Perfect Ashlar, we will recall that the Perfect is madeready by the hands of the workman to be adjusted by thtools of the Fellowcraft. The cornerstone ceremony i

partly to verify that the stone has been prepared properlyIn fact, one of the lines repeated by the Masons in the

positions of the Grand Senior Warden, Grand JunioWarden, and the Deputy Grand Master, when they mak

their report to the Grand Master regarding the stone andthe tools they have and use on the stone, (the Level, Plumband Square, respectively,) say: The Craftsmen have dontheir duty. It is after the cornerstone ceremony icompleted that the Perfect Ashlar is symbolically andsometimes actually, placed in the corner. Brother Hunsays that it is when the Perpend Ashlar is finally made readto be placed in the building that it gains the name of thePerfect Ashlar.

A Bible reference to the Perfect Ashlar as aCornerstone can be found in the different translations othe Holy Bible; of the translations I have the one I likebetter is found in the New King James version where inIsaiah 28:16 it says: Therefore thus says the Lord Godbehold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stonea precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; whoever believe

will not act hastily. The verse that follows says in partAlso I will make justice the measuring line andrighteousness the plummet; etc. The rest of that verse andthe rest that follow are worth reading as well. One Bibl


25/34

commentary tells us that one of the meanings of Isaiah28:14-22 is that a man of faith will not be alarmed and thatGod will test mens response by the standard of justice andrighteousness.

Brother Hunt, Masonically, describes this passage ofscripture in this way: The plumb, square and level try it;the working tools fashion it; the checkered pavement

illustrates it; the Great Architect calls for it. When the crafthas fashioned it, it is complete, perfect. Now thatdescription gives the Masonic Student much to study, andthink about.

To understand the Masonic symbolism of the PerfectAshlar we need to keep in mind the original term as it cameto the Speculative from the Operative; the Perpend Ashlarbecomes Perfect only because it is completely adapted toits purpose, namely to exactly fit into [its] place in thebuilding and act as a binder for the other stones. To

become perfect it must posses certain attributes andthrough these attributes we are reminded of that state of

perfection at which we hope to arrive by a virtuouseducation, our own endeavors, and the blessing of God.

The Perfect Ashlar since it extends through the wallhas two faces exposed, and both need to be perfect: It doesnot have one standard for the world and another for thehome. This symbolically teaches the Mason that our samefair face with our same square and true attitude andactions is presented in all areas of our life; our home, our

work and business life, as well as to the rest of the world.The lesson of the Perfect Ashlar teaches us that we shouldnot have one code of conduct (morals) for one place andanother for another.

The symbols of Freemasonry are tools by which we canlearn as we, with the help of our brethren, strive to becomebetter men than before we entered the Lodge for our firstdegree; by becoming the better men we are capable ofbecoming we help to fulfill the purpose of Freemasonry.The purpose of Freemasonry is striving towards perfectionso that we can fit our bodies as living stones for thatspiritual building not made with hands eternal in theheavens, which is to be our eternal home.

As Brother Hunt says: we are concerned with ourBrothers welfare as well as our own, and only when we

perform this function well can it be said that our work isgood work, true work, square work. Being concernedabout our Brethren we should be mentoring each other. Ithink that is what Brother Hunt is talking about when he

says that only when we perform this function well can ibe said our work is then good, true, and square.

Grand Master Dennis V. SiewertsNovember Address to the Craft

Grand Lodge of WisconsinBy admin, on October 25th, 2012

Check Out the Wrapper

Brethren;When you were young remember those birthday andholiday gifts? Which one got your attention? It wa

probably the biggest box and or the best wrapped. As youadvanced in life, you bought a car, your pride and joy, youmaintained it or wrapped it to the best of your abilityMany of us bought a house and made it a home. The way

you maintain something or the way you wrap it becomes

reflection of your personality and values.I own a couple of small businesses. They are alway

being judged by the public and our customers. Thedemeanor, knowledge and appearance of our associates andthe condition of our buildings, trucks and equipment aran integral part of any successful business. I also believe iis a matter of self-pride and a public display of my valusystem.

I realize that we, as Freemasons, are to look at theinternal and not the external qualifications of a man. Tha

being said, first impressions are lasting impressions. Thappearance/wrapping of a candidate, his home and familymake an impression on the lodge interviewing committeeLikewise, the appearance and conduct of the interviewingcommittee makes an impression on the candidate.

The way we wrap or package ourselves is just anotheexample of the Diversity within our great fraternity. Oucommon bond is the box, our principles and tenants taughthrough our ritual. A Brother sent me the following article

written over 100 years ago and I would ask you to take th

time to read it. Its another example of how we may thinkthings may change but remain the same.

Clothes Make the Man and the MasonOriginally published as A Proper Appreciation

Masonry in many respects is the same the world overThe language of symbols, the legend of signs, and th

tenets are alike everywhere, so that a man may berecognized as a Mason as well in Africa as England, or in


26/34

Germany as in America. The forms and ceremonies maydiffer, but the mystic language is unmistakable.

There is, however, a vast difference in the esteem, andappreciation of the fraternity in different countries. Wehave often been impressed with the high regard our Englishbrethren have for their membership in the Craft. We maysay what we will about the clothes not making the man.

One who is careful of his dress on all occasions and willalways present the very best appearance he can possess, acertain element of refinement that is certainlycommendable, and that brother who is careful to appear atlodge meeting in appropriate dress shows an appreciationof the place and the people with whom he is to mingle thatis praiseworthy. The man who went to the wedding feastnot properly clad for the occasion was made to feel out of

place.The brother who goes into the lodge room in rough,

untidy clothing cannot but feel a kind of humiliation if allabout him have made a careful toilet. Our English brethrencarry their own aprons and gloves with proper officialdecorations and are proud to put them on, not in a haughtymatter but in a commendable pride that they are one of thegreat family of Masons, and the apron is the outwardsymbol of that membership. This feeling shows anappreciation of the fraternity.

The question has been asked frequently, Why are ourmeetings not better attended? The trouble is largely a lack

of appreciation of the lodge work. There is sufficient in thework of the lodge, the conferring of degrees to interest thethoughtful student. The ceremonies are like the springflowers, ever fresh, beautiful and new.

The flowers have been blooming ever since motherearth began her yield of luxuries, and yet we never tire ofthem. The morning glory and the daisy, the turnip and the

violet are the same year after year, and we cherish and lovethem the same. And so with the work of the lodge-room,

while the ceremonies, signs, symbols and legends are thesame, yet there is a beauty about them or fragrance, a verynewness, which if we will only look for, we will surely find.

We often fail to appreciate the social side ofFreemasonry and that is a cause for lack of interest. Takethe combination of lodge work, and lodge sociability, and

you have elements of interest and pleasure that should beattractive to everyone.

The friendships of Masonry ought to be the verystrongest and tenderest. They are formed within acharmed, mystical circle, that should have the golden

thread of fidelity running all through it, and while thexperience of many may not be as satisfactory as could bedesired, yet there is so much that is pure and unselfish tha

we should be proud of the fraternal chain that binds utogether.

Let us really appreciate the lodge, so that we will noonly be glad to assist in the work, but still more ready to

study and learn. We will come to the meetings with cleanhands and pure hearts, and clad in a style, not only inkeeping with the dignity of the place, but showing that whave a high regard for the work and for our fellow-members

I realize that we all dont wrap items the same way andthere is no right or wrong answer. Again thats thDiversity among us. I do hope that you find this articlthought provoking and worth discussing. You expect high

standards from your Grand Lodge Officers in dressfraternal knowledge and commitment to Freemasonry

How you do wrap the package? Look in the mirrobefore you go to Lodge. Are you looking at self-pride andsuccess? The Lodge buildingdoes it have the appearanceof successful and upscale organization? What impressionhave you and your lodge made to the public regardingFreemasonry? How have you wrapped it?

Sincerely & Fraternally,

Dennis V. Siewert
