OCTOBER BIRTHDAYS, CONT. www.dallasscottishrite.org - [email protected] Scottish Rite News for the Valley of Dallas

Oct05sr.qxp 10/15/2005 10:32 AM Page 7


CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGEIt was a dawn morning and there was a smell of death in the air; children were dying, women were crying,

men were screaming for help – slowly the Marine chopper settled down for a landing amidst chaotic conditions –suddenly the chopper took fire from an unseen, unknown sniper – the pilot had to evacuate, leaving the helplessscreaming below. Was this Afghanistan? Was it Iraq? No, it was New Orleans, Louisana, USA, reeling from theterrible devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The national media were pointing fingers of blame while the helplessstood on their roofs pleading for their lives.

This is an unfamiliar experience or scene from the pages of Masonic history – yet, this is 2005, not 1805 andthis is the United States of America, not foreign soil. Masons are assisting the victims as you read this article.Masons were some of the first to bring relief in the form of aid, food, clothes, and unselfish compassion. Most peo-ple know of the generosity exhibited by churches and lodges, but is this the only time that a tear of compassionshould be shed for our Brethren, for our friends and for the strangers? NO. Masonry should be practiced proac-tively – not reactively!

The love of God, our fellowman and Country is our heritage and that light should not be hidden under a bas-ket. Others should know about our craft and our mission before the hurricanes of life hit – before the tragedy –not afterwards. The lawlessness and callous disregard for our fellowman reflects a serious breach in the fabric ofour great Country. President Kennedy admonished us to “ask not what our Country could do for us but what wecould do for our Country.” President Bush brushed aside the blame game and directed a courageous rescue effortsaving the lives of thousands. There is a lesson for us to learn: what would our forefathers have thought aboutthe orchestration given the tragedy by the media? Masons need to read the tea leaves in today’s society andredouble our efforts to reach out to good men and seek to encourage them to become better men. It is later thanwe think. George Washington’s picture on the cover of “US News and World Report” is another wake up call.

I urge you to attend your Stated Meetings and your Reunions in order to strengthen your dedication to theupholding of this great Country and to encourage others to do likewise.

Fraternally;M. Douglas Adkins, Personal Representative of the SGIG for the State of Texas

Patient: “Doctor, can I get a second opinion?”Doctor: “Of course you can. Come back tomorrow.”Patient: “Doctor, I’ve broken my arm in two places.”Doctor: “ Don’t go back to either one of them.”Doctor: “I’m afraid you are anemic.”Patient: “I want a second opinion.”Doctor: “You’re ugly too.”

Laughter is good

for the soul!!THE SECRETARY'S MINUTE

Illustrious and Worthy Brethren,This is to remind you that on October 15, 22, and 29 we will
