Did You Know?By R.W.B. Reo J. Matthews, P.G.L.

Freemasonry was a fraternal organi-zation of free-thinkers who had a very

strong influence in18th century Europe.The origins of the fra-ternal organizationhave been shrouded inmystery:

“According to leg-end, the founders ofthis secret society - The

Craft - were the builders of the ancientJewish Temple in Jerusalem, long beforethe Common Era, which was destroyedduring the Roman Period, but its remains(the Wailing Wall) continue to be vener-

ated. Modern historians associate the ori-gins of Freemasonry with the Templars, amilitary order of Catholic Monks sent toJerusalem in the 12th century during theCrusades” –Impact, p.29.

Freemasonry began in the rooms of aLondon public bar near the AnglicanCathedral of St. Paul’s in June of 1717.The Freemasons supported freedom ofbelief, speech and thought, as well as theopen market concept (free trade). At theirmeetings they would discuss these ideasand how they could be improved or ef-fectively put into use. By doing this, theyspread the leading ideas of the Enlighten-ment (A period in history which gavebirth to new ideas and concepts - 17th and18th century).

By the time the Old Order (rule bythe wealthy and absolute monarchs) hadbeen destroyed - 1789 - the year of theFrench Revolution; almost every me-dium-sized town in Europe had one ormore Masonic Lodges. Those Lodgesformed the focal point of change inEurope’s development. The cry of theFrench Revolution - Liberty, Equality,Fraternity, had its roots in the MasonicLodges of France. The Masonic Lodgegave an arena to the “Thinkers of the 18th

century” to express their ideas on au-tonomy, nationalism and good govern-ment. More often than not, Freemasonryacted as a catalyst for change during thesetimes.

Hillcrest Lodge No. 93 Honours Three BrethrenMembers of Hillcrest Lodge, and

many visiting Brethren from throughoutthe district gathered in the Hillcrest clubroom before opening Lodge to meet withinvited family members of three Breth-ren who celebrated 160 years of faithfulservice to the craft.

R.W. Bro. Raymond Freeman, Dis-trict Deputy Grand Master of Lunenburg-Queens, honoured R.W. Bro. BasilWagner, PDDGM, (55 year Bar), W. Bro.Eugene Veinot, P.M. (55 year Bar) andW. Bro. Aubrey Garber, P.M. (50 yearJewel), by presenting them with the deco-

rations and citations and bringing themthe greetings and best wishes from theM.W. Bro. Tabor Caulier, Grand Master

of Masons in Nova Scotia. The speciallyhonoured Brethren received a heartyround of applause.

Note of CautionToo many times lately I have read of situations in various jurisdictions where

Brothers have had their regalia stolen. Even though you may have it under cover ina case, it is not wise to leave your case out or visible, such as on the back seat of anunattended vehicle. Many put their cases in the truck of their car or behind theseat of their truck.

Sunrise Lodge No. 116Alfred Bruce HudsonInitiated - June 26, 1951Passed - September 18, 1951Raised - October 23, 1951Aged - 83 YearsOccupation - Retired, Autobody Repair

The brethren of Sunrise Lodge were pleased and honoredto have presented Wor. Bro. Bruce Hudson with his 50 yearJewel on the evening of November 15, 2001. Bruce comes froma distinguished Masonic family background. Assisting was hisBrother-in-law Rt. Wor. Bro. Harold Sinclair, also a distinguishedmason, and Bruce’s nephew Wor. Bro. Stewart Hudson who is amember of both Queens Lodge No. 34 and St. Mark No. 35Baddeck. Stewart is a 4th generation Mason in the Hudsonclan.

Bruce’s grandfather, Samuel Lewis Hudson was raised inQueens Lodge No. 34 June 30, 1871. It is interesting to notethat Bro. Hudson received a Master’s Apron on the occasion ofhis 60th anniversary, as at that time the 50 year Jewel had notcome into existence. Brother Hudson was raised to the GrandLodge above on Nov. 9, 1934. He lived the life of a True Ma-son.

In 1935 Queens Lodge No. 34 erected and unveiled a monu-ment in his memory in the cemetery opposite the Church ofEngland at Country Harbour Mines.

Samuel had three sons and distinguished Masons who werelong standing members of our fraternity, each with an averageof 59 years of faithful service. Both Donald Gunn Hudson andLewis Hudson were distinguished 50 year lodge members.

A third son, and Bruce’s father Harold V. Hudson was raisedin Queens Lodge No. 34 on June 2, 1908. He was WorshipfulMaster of both Queens No. 34 and Stormont Lodge No. 96where he was a Charter member. He received his 50 year Jewelin 1958, and 60 year Bar in 1968.

Both of Harold’s sons were masons. Fisher, Stewart’s fatherwas a member of both Stormont No. 96 and Queens Lodge No.34. He received his 50 year Jewel in 1996 at Stormont Lodge.

To quote a statement made by the brothers of Queens LodgeNo. 34 to Samuel Lewis when he received his 60 year bar onNov. 10, 1931. “Brother Hudson, Queens Lodge is ever appre-ciative of the work and worth, ever mindful of those in the faceof difficulties, reared on a high torch of Masonic light andthrough long years of labor, maintained it there; and it is in aspirit of appreciation and regard that tonight we of Queens Lodgeask you to accept a token of our affection and Esteem.” Bruce,you have carried on your noble family Masonic tradition inSunrise Lodge, and in the same manner as your grandfather andfather before you, that we the Brethren of Sunrise Lodge arepleased to have had the honor of presenting you with this tokenof our esteem...Well done.

Masonic History MadeEditor’s Note: This article was notprinting previously because we wereawaiting proper photos. Since nonearrived, I felt the information should beprinted even at this late date.

Masonic history was made whenCanam Lodge convened the first everMasonic meeting to be held in the townof Burgeo, Newfoundland.

Members of Canam Lodge No. 19,accompanied by members from NotreDame Lodge No. 6, and Lodge New-foundland Kilwinning No. 1754 SC, trav-elled to Burgeo to share in the celebra-tions of Brother Hubert Strickland’s 50th

anniversary as a Freemason. BrotherStrickland is a member of Royal Sussex

Lodge No. 6 of the Grand Lodge of NovaScotia.

On June 23, 2001, the historic meet-ing was called to order at 2:00 p.m. byWor. Brother Robert Clarke. The mainbusiness of the evening was the presenta-tion of Brother Strickland’s fifty year jewelon behalf of his Mother Lodge (RoyalSussex) and the Grand Lodge of NovaScotia.

Following the presentation of hisjewel by Rt. Wor. Brother W. Job ParsonsDDGM for Western Newfoundland,Brother Stickland was presented with hiscertificate from the Grand Lodge of NovaScotia by Rt. Wor. Brother JohnDollimount PDDGM for Western New-foundland.

Fraternal Best Wishes and Congratu-lations were extended to Brother Sticklandby Wor. Brother Robert Clarke, as well asby the other Brethren present.

Following the meeting the Brethrenparaded to the town center which is thesite of a monument donated to the townby Brother Strickland, a strong indicatorof his civic pride and commitment to hiscommunity.

Upon returning to the Lodge theBrethren were treated to a roast beef din-ner that was attended by representativesof the town and various local organiza-tions.

The visiting Brethren returned homeat 5:00 p.m. after experiencing a day thatwas truly marked by fellowship, profit andpleasure.

Clarke Lodge No. 61 NotesIt may be a surprise to many to know

that Clarke Lodge has one of the largestmemberships in Nova Scotia.

Every year we hold lobster draws andlobster suppers to bolster our funds, andas a result we are able to make our hall -which is over 130 years old - a structureof beauty, both inside and out.

At our regular meeting on January10, 2002, we were honoured with a visitby our Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Tabor(Ted) Caulier, who was presented withthe 130th Anniversary Medallion ofClarke Lodge No. 61.

We were also graced with the visit ofthe Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. EarlFaulkner at our Installation of Officerson Saturday, January 12, 2002.

A presentation of a Past Master’s Jewelwas made by V.W. Bro. Marv. Mattson toW. Bro. Richard Logan, the retiring Wor-shipful Master.

The new Worshipful Master is W.Bro. John Levy, with officers that spell outyouth - all eager to put their shoulders tothe Masonic Wheel.

Worshipful Bro. Richard Logan is seen presenting aWidows Pin to Mrs. Donna Covey, widow of W. Bro.Hale Covey, at the Clarke Lodge No. 61 Christmassupper in December.

Can You Help?Grand Lodge is in need of a volun-

teer to assist with the cataloguing ofbooks etc., in the library. Many of thebooks have been entered, however thereis much that needs to be done. Formore information contact The GrandSecretary or Lorne Urquhart (902) 468-2477. Thank-you!

In January, 2002, att Clarke Lodge No. 61, Chester,Bro. Richard Logan (left) was presented with a PastMasters Jewel by V.W. Bro. Marvin Mattson.

Following the Installation a deliciouslobster chowder was served, also anequally delicious corn chowder, by our In-stallation Chefs, Bro. Stuart Gates, andV.W. Bro. Marv. Mattson. I suspect thattheir wives supervised the cooking of thechowders.

As members left I distinctly heard agood deal of satisfied stomach rum-blings!

The Ancient And Accepted Scottish Rite Of FreemasonryBy Harold E. Crosby

Contrary to a widely held beliefwithin the Masonic Fraternity, the An-cient and Accepted Scottish Rite has nogeographic connections to Scotland. TheScottish Rite evolved in France and datesfrom about 1754 when a chapter (or Col-lege) of Clermont was founded in Pariswith seven degrees. There is an earlierrecord of a Rose Croix Chapter at Arras,France, said to have been chartered in1747 by Charles Edward Stuart. By 1758the system had become a Rite of twenty-five degrees, known as the Rite of Perfec-tion, whose Grand Constitutions were is-sued in 1762.

In 1761, the Masonic authorities inFrance granted a Patent to Stephen Morinto carry the advanced degrees to the NewWorld. In about 1763 Morin establishedthe Rite at Kingston, Jamaica, and at SanDomingo, in the West Indies. Bodieswere subsequently set up at New Orleansin 1763; at Albany, New York, in 1767;at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1782; andat Charleston, South Carolina in 1783.

In 1786 the “Grand Constitutions”were enacted in an attempt to bring or-der out of the chaotic condition of thedegrees in Europe. It was these Constitu-tions which brought the Ancient and Ac-cepted Scottish Rite into formal existence,enlarging the number of degrees to thirty-three, with the 33° as a governing Su-preme Council. While the Rite has thirty-three degrees, it accepts the three degreesof Symbolic Masonry, and commences thepresentation of its degrees at the fourth.

In 1801 a Supreme Council wasopened in Charleston, South Carolina,under the Constitutions of 1786, andabsorbing the previously existing Rite ofPerfection. All regular Supreme Coun-cils of today are directly, or indirectly, de-scended from this Supreme Council. In1874 the Supreme Council of Englandand Wales issued a warrant which autho-rized the formation of the Supreme Coun-cil of Canada. The Supreme Council ofCanada is in amity with thirty-two otherSupreme Councils throughout the world,and four National Grand Lodges in theScandinavian countries.

In response to the question ”what isthe mission of the Scottish Rite?” thewords of Albert Pike, 33°, a SovereignGrand Commander of the SupremeCouncil of the Southern Masonic Juris-diction of the USA says it best. Pike said.

“Our order is more than a fraternityof good fellows engaged in the benevo-lent practices of friendship and relief. Itis a militant Order, a knighthood, devotedto the cause of Liberty, Equality, and Fra-ternity.

The Scottish Rite seeks to cultivatein the hearts of men, personal moralityand the sentiment of tolerance and fra-ternity. What has been said and done bythe historic emancipators for the libertyof the human mind is vividly portrayedin its Degrees and the Scottish Rite Ma-son is dedicated to the effort to make thespirit of Masonry regnant in Society.

To establish righteousness and ordainmercy, to protect the weak and combatall dogmas that would imprison the hu-man spirit is the mission of the ScottishRite Masonry.”

The Grand Master’s Chest MedallionGenerally referred to as “the Col-

lar and Jewel”, this chest medallion hasbeen worn by every Grand Master ofMasons in Nova Scotia since 1866.

The first Grand Master towear the chest medallion was MostWorshipful Brother (Doctor) Will-iam H. Davies, who was bornat Albion Mines, NovaScotia. He later attendedmedical school at theUniversity ofEdinburgh, Scotland,graduating with highhonors in August,1857. Records showthat the chest medal-lion was purchased atthis time by BrotherDavies, from a jeweller inEdinburgh, Scotland,named Brother Hay. It seemsreasonable to assume that this chestmedallion was modelled after the oneused in Scotland at the time, but with

some differences, particularly thecentrepiece which in Scotland depictsthat of a figure of St. Andrew.

Our chest medallion bears thecrest of Nova Scotia in a gilded sil-ver plate frame mounted on a domed

blue enamel surface which is sur-rounded by the words Grand

Lodge of Nova Scotia. Thecrest is surrounded by abaorder of 32 setdiametes (paste stones)mounted, and a blueenamelled star. The sizeof the diametes are ap-proximately 2.5 carats.The chest medallion is

11.5 cm (4.5") in heightby 10 cm (4") in diam-

eter. - The Star is 4 cm (13/8") by 4 cm (1 3/8") wide.

This chest medallion has bothmonetary value as well as historical.

New Museum InMassachusetts

The Freemasons, who for centurieszealously guarded the secrecy of theirrites and greetings, are hoping to dis-mantle their mysterious image and re-vive interest in their declining societyby opening a museum along the Bos-ton Common. As part of a multi-mil-lion-dollar renovation of its GrandLodge, the Masons will put windowsin the windowless façade, add a door-way along Tremont Street and put on adisplay of their vast collection of Ma-sonic memorabilia. Visitors will seeobjects associated with some of the mostfamous men in American history: thetrowel used by Lafayette at the corner-stone-laying for the Bunker Hill Monu-ment; a pistol owned by RevolutionaryWar naval hero John Paul Jones; and alock of George Washington’s hair en-cased in a tiny gold urn cast by PaulRevere.

We meet on the first Thursdayof the month, except July and August, at7.30 p.m.

The Craft can only benefit whenmore of us meet together to work, dis-cuss and discover the greatness of our in-stitution. Brethren, we should put mean-ing into that phrase from our Installa-tion Ceremony, “May you long enjoyevery satisfaction and delight which dis-interested friendship can afford”.

St. Margaret’s Lodge is located on thecorner of Mason’s Point Road and oldHighway #3, next to the Baptist Church,6.4 km from Exit 5 (at Sobey’s) on High-way #103, or 4.7 km from the Crossroads(by the Irving Station) on Highway#3.
