Thinking Outside the Box - Disappointments for
the One-Day Class
Hats off to Bro. Ray
Darlington and Bro. John Waagen, the two Shrine-Masons who are
trying to put on a one-day class. These brethren are doing
something to try and increase membership in our lodges, and in the
Shrine. I applaud them for not just sitting around and bellyaching
as many are doing; they stepped forward and said "I will put on a
one-day class."
READ THE REST / LISEZ LE RESTANT Editorial - Handling Online Applications
The Rough
Ashlar/Pierre Brute website, along with the Grand Lodge website, has
brought in 148 requests to join freemasonry in the past 7 months.
This is great news, or is it? When I heard that only 13 of this
number have actually joined the craft something did not seem right
to this old investigator. The interested parties fill out a
preliminary application on the website and this is forwarded to the
lodge secretary nearest the applicant's residence depending on his
language request.

Into the Continuum
Recently I read an
address by M.W.Bro. Eric N. Waller, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge
of Ireland. In his speech he addressed the problem of declining
interest in Freemasonry. What I found exciting and worth discussing
was his ideas to counter this problem. I suggest to anyone
interested in Freemasonry and international Masonic news to the
following address.

A Warm Masonic Tale
It was a tale of
Masonic men surrounding a campfire in the Old West, at night,
discussing the Fraternity and its teachings. One old man listened
patiently, and finally spoke up:
"I can tell you more about Masonry in a little example than some
of the great Masonic philosophers can in books. Everybody stand up,
and gather in a circle around the campfire."
