22.01.2022 SMIB Amen and Amen.

22.01.2022 Are you a Master Mason. Past Master gives words of wisdom "I have been master mason for Ayers now", remarked the young brother to the Old Past Master." Whil...e I find a great deal in Masonry to enjoy and like the Fellows, and all that I am more or less in the dark as to what a good Mason really is in the world. I don't mean I cant appreciate it's Charity or it's fellowship, but it seems to me that I don't get much out of it. I can't really we enjoy in function outside of the relationship we enjoy in the Lodge and the charitable acts we do." " I think I could win an argument about you, Smiled Past Master. " an argument about me ?" " Yes. You say you have been a Master Mason for a year. I think I can prove to the satisfaction of a jury of your peers, who would not need to be master masons, that while you are a lodge member in good standing, you are not a master mason." I don't think I understand quite," puzzled the young mason. " I was quite surely initiated, passed, and raised, I have my certificate and my good standing card. I attend lodge regularly. I do what work I'm assigned. If that isn't being a master mason, what is? " You have the body but not the Spirit", retorded the old Past Master. "You eat the husk and disregard the kernel. You know the rituals and fail to understand it's meaning. You carry the documents, but for you they attest but an empty form. You do not understand the first underlying principle, which makes Masonry the Great Force She Is. And yet, inspite of it, you enjoy Her Blessings, which is one of Her Miracles. A man may love and profit by what he does not comprehend." " I just don't understand you at all. I am sure I am a good mason." " No man is a good Mason who thinks the Fraternity has no function beyond pleasant association in the Lodge and Charity. There are thousands of Masons who seldom see the inside of a Lodge and, therefore, miss the Fellowship. There are thousands who come who never come in contact. Who never need the support of Her Charity and so never come in contact with one of it's many features. Yet these may take freely and largely from the treasure house which is Masonry". "Masonry, my young Brother, is an opportunity. It gives a Man a chance to do and to be, among the World of Man, something he otherwise could not attain. No Man kneels at the Alter of Masonry and rises again the same Man. At the Altar He leaves behind him some of the dross of His purely profane makeup. No Man Kneels at the Altar of Masonry and Rises again the same Man. At the Altar something is taken from him never to returned, his feelings of living for himself alone. Be he ever so selfish, ever so self centered, ever so much much abc individualist, at the Altar he leaves behind him some of the dross of his purely profane make-up. No Man Kneels at the Altar of Masonry and rises the same Man because, in the place where the dross and selfish were, is put a little of the most. Divine spark which men may see. Where was the egotism is put love for ones Fellow Man. You say that the Fraternity has no function of any institution at work among Men in that it provides a common meeting ground where all of us be our Creed, our social position, our wealth, our ideas, our station in life what they may, meet and understand one another. " My young Brother what caused the civil war? Failure of one people to understand another and an inequity of men which this country could not endure. What caused the Great war? Class hatred. What is the greatest leveler of class in the World? Masonry. Where is the only place in which a capitalist and laborer, socialist and democrat, fundamentalist and modernist, Jew and Gentile, sophisticated and simple alike meet and forget their differences? In Masonic Lodge, Lodge, through the influence of Masonry. " Masonry, which opens her portals to men because they are men, not because they are men, not because they are wealthy or wise or foolish or great or small but because they seek the Brotherhood which only She can give. " Masonry has no function? Why son the function of Charity, great ad it is, is the great least of the things Masonry does. The Fellowship in the Lodge, beautiful as it is, is at best not much more than one can get in any good club, association or organization. These are the Beauties of Masonry, but they are also beauty of Masonry is all her own. She, and only she, stretches a kindly and loving hand around the World, uniting millions in a bond too strong for breaking. Times has demonstrated that Masonry is too strong for breaking. Time has demonstrated that that Masonry is to strong for war, too strong for Jealousy and fear. The worst of men have used the strongest of means and have but pushed Masonry to one side for the moment; not all their efforts have broken Her, or ever will! " Masonry gives us all a chance to do and to be; to do a little, however humble the part, in making the world Better; to be a little larger, a little fuller in our lives, a little Nearer to Thee. G. A. O. T. U. And unless a man understands this, believe it, takes it to his Heart, and lives it in his daily life, and strives to show it forth to others in His every act unless he lives and loves and labors in his Masonry. I say he is no Master Mason; aye, though he belong to all Rites and carry all cards, though he be hung as a Christmas tree with Jewels and pins, though he be an Officer in all bodies. But the man who has his Heart and sees in Masonry the chance to be in reality what he has sworn he would be, a Brother to his Fellow Masons, is a Master Mason though he be Raised but tonight, belongs to no body but his Blue Lodge, and be to poor to buy and wear a single pin." The young Brother, looking down, unfastened the emblem from his coat lapel and handed it to the Old Past Master. " Of course, your are right, he said, lowly. " Here is my pin. Don't give it back to me until you think I am worthy to wear it." The Old Past Master smiled. " I think you would better put it back on your lapel," He answered gently. " None are more fit to wear the Square and Compass than those who know themselves unworthy, for they are those who strive to be real Masons! See more

Come Br...others let us contemplate them, they are worthy of a thought. We meet upon the Level, every Country, Sect, and Creed. The rich man from his Mansion, the poor man from the field. For wealth is not considered within our outer door. And we all meet on the level upon the checkered floor. We act upon the Plum the J.W. states we walk upright throughout our lives, we seek the Pearly gates. The all-Seeing Eye that reads our Heart's doth bear as witness true. That we shall Honor our God and give each man bus due. We part upon the Square as all good to better Men do. We mingle with the modern Multitude of Faithful Band True and Blue Brothers do. So The Ancient Brotherhood of Freemasonry from every corner of this world come. To meet upon the Level and Act upon the Plum. There's a World where all are equal we're coming to it fast. We shall kneel before the Alter and our Master sill be there. To try the blocks we offer with his own unerring Square. We shall meet upon the Level there never thence depart. There's an Eternal Mansion-'tis all ready for each trusting Faithful Heart. There's a Mansion and a welcome and a multitude is there who have met upon the the Level and been tried upon The Square. Let us us upon the Level then while these earthly ties we share. An Hope we're there to answer when the roll is called up there. As we Travel through our lifespan time aids us prepares us. To gather our Working Tools and part upon The Square. So remember all four teachings, that Bright Fraternal chain. We part upon The Square below to meet in Heaven again. These words have Precious meaning and are practiced everywhere. We Meet Upon The Level And We Part Upon The Square. SO MOTE IT BE. See more

01.01.2022 We haven't heard anything from Grand Lodge yet, so i don't know when we can return to lodge. To the best of my knowledge all the paperwork has been done (maybe I'm wrong) so it is just a wait and see, however as it seems to be going i don't expect to return until next year??
