I did find another definition that should make everyone happy: "The perfect ashlar is the finished stone that best fits the builder's needs." That seem reasonable.

Once the eight of us can agree on where to have dinner after the meeting, we can plot to take over the world!

And I thought western Kansas was a long ways to drive for a DDGM visit.

I heard a Past Grand Master explain that during the period where Lodges were being formed in Kansas, the guideline was to spread them out at a distance of about every 11 miles. This was believed to be the distance a Brother could be expected to travel on foot or on horseback to attend a meeting...

What is a good turnout for your Lodge. My mother lodge has 345 members. 86 of those no longer live in the metro area and cannot attend due to the distances involved. 35 or so are in nursing homes or are physically unable to attend. We average about 15-20 at a typical Stated Communication. My...

I must be really slow. What is it?

If it is oblong, I have been told it is called a prepend. The perfect ashlar is equal at all angles and equal in all dimensions. Maybe I am wrong.

That is part of it. Our slide show his entire body. When I visited the National Art Gallery in DC, that painting is hanging there and the guide book says that painting is of Euclid. It could be wrong.

Curious. Inner Quest Lodge has been listed as a member lodge since the MRF was founded. To my knowledge, no one has ever contacted us regarding voting for any current or past officers.

Allister Crowley's second cousin

If your Lodge uses the standard slide set that JP Luther sells, have you ever noticed that picture that is shown when Pythagoras is discussed? I could be wrong, and I often am, but isn't that a painting of Enoch? There are a couple of other things that I noticed. The picture of the Perfect...

The main "misuse" of the word (that I have noticed) is during the Masonic Funeral ceremony. I have seen several individuals bring a sprig of Juiper or a similar evergreen and talk about the "evergreen" being part of Masonic ritual. If Honey Locust is indeed Acacia, then it is not an evergreen...

Acacia grows in the desert, but in an environment that dry it is more of a bush or shrub than an actual tree. Even in a park with a sprinkler system and frequent applications of fertilizer, the biggest Honey Locust I have ever seen around here had about a 10' trunk that was maybe 1' in...

Exactly right. A GL of the USA would turn us into even more of a republic organization where we elect representatives that as SUPPOSED to handle things in our best interests. There is some sort of national organization for the Grand Master and Past Grand Masters. I am sure this helps spread the...

This does not answer the question as to who elected its officers.

Translation: We ain't splitting our Per Capita income with ANYONE. It is all about power and money. If a GL of USA were formed, I suspect most state jurisdictions would declare it clandestine and ban members from joining. Our Lodge Charter states that the jurisdiction of Grand Lodge of Kansas...

The use of a Sprig of Acacia has meaning to Masons, but have you ever considered it actual meaning? Acacia is mentioned specifically in connection with the building of the Tabernacle in Exodus Chapters 37 and 38. It says that Acacia wood was used to construct the Ark of the Covenant as well as...

Just out of curiosity, what is the structure of the MRF and who elected its officers? Does it have members?

If you really want to perplex a Liberal, tell him or her that the debate is over, and the Great Flood in the Bible was caused by Global Warming.
