I certainly agree and I will add that many Masons know the words, while the meanings allude them. Almost every single time I hear a lecture, something pops out to my that I had never thought of before, even though the words were quite famililar. I think it would be great if we did something...

Welcome! I live just up the road in Tarkington. I am at Tarkington Prairie Lodge #498 in Cleveland. We meet on the first and third Thursdays, as does Dayton and Liberty (I believe), so that makes it hard to visit other lodges in the county. You should find the Dayton Lodge to your liking I...

I see no to disagree since everyone is right! Its a matter of courtesy and practicality (speeches, etc.). I think his idea is a bit off the wall and ill advise, particularly since the Grand Master will be in attendance. I looked through the chapter on "festive boards, speeches,etc." in...

That's awesome!

If your talking about living in it, I will take the heat! I can stand the cold for a little while, like on a skiing or hunting trip, but even then I'm pretty cranky.

Good stuff!

Cool find! Are there other sets of jewels make by Revere at other lodges? Given his profession, I could imagine that this is not the only set around.

Happy Independence Day!

The same thing happened when I was interviewed. My wife made tea and coffee (maybe some snacks) in the interest of proper hospitality (we are Deep South folks). So, now when I go to interview someone, if offered I always accept it with much gratitude give. That is also in the interest proper...

Agreed! Corky puts out some good and interesting info. We (this site) even got a mention in this one: http://www.mastermason.com/STTM-Emag/June10.htm

No, Not sure and yes. I agree. I don't think it is fair to the young brother or to the lodge, but in small lodges (like mine) it seems pretty common.

Last Saturday I was relieved of my duty as Senior Steward. A liberating experience.

Huw, So is it football (soccer) or rugby?:001_smile: Interesting concept - "special interest" lodge. I may have to check it out the next time I come to London, if visitors are allowed.

One of my clearest memories, from back when I was a kid, was a sign for the local lodge on the outfield fence (among the other groups and business that had supported the league). It was a nice professional sign. My guess (an easy one) is that the league sold those spots annually to support the...

I try to go on the "gut feeling" and the look in the other mans (or woman's) eyes. But I will say this, I generally lean toward giving them a little something. I made this decision a while back (many years back), when after turning a man down, I had this weird feeling in my gut and kept...

We were having a similar discussion at the lodge a while back and a police officer (with considerable rank) among pointed out that the term was not a masonic term, but a legal term (as others have pointed out). Consequently, we were discussing back ground checks and who gets to see them...

A good rule of thumb is, if its written in the monitor its not secret. Hence, the charges, most of the working tools, the apron presentation, Bible presentation, etc. are not secret.

The big question to me is how did he get it. If it was given to him by a Brother, this needs to be addressed with that Brother. When I was learning my work, my teacher would sometimes take bathroom breaks and come back with new perspective. But I had no clue the book existed until I had...
