Hands Across the Sea Here′s “Hands across the sea!” good sirs, here′s “Hands across the sea!”
To every isle and continent where′er our brethren be
For we are one in sympathy, as we are one in name
The self same tools are bright with use and mystic lights aflame
The same designs on trestle board by which our tasks are wrought
Their symbol truths impressed on heart and centered in our thought.
For that which counts for greatest good is through the lives of each
Who by their acts exemplify the principles we teach.
The world′s great heart is throbbing with the spirit of unrest
We hear the cry that welleth up from peoples long oppressed
We see the rule of mammon and the grasping hand of greed,
The travesties of justice and the toiler′s bitter need,
The striving for the mastery, the ever present fear,
With nation watching nation, and the war clouds hovering near,
And the question ever riseth as portentous signs we trace,
What will the final outcome be, and what the saving grace?
And Masonry makes answer with its never changing plan––
The Fatherhood of God. the Brotherhood of Man!
Though aeons upon aeons break upon the shores of time,
This is the grand fulfillment, and the prophesy sublime
This is the work of trestle board for brethren everywhere,
For never was there greater need for level, plumb and square,
For trowel with cement of love to strengthen and unite
The human race in brotherhood, and usher in
the Light!
To all who aid this glorious work,
wherever they may be,
Here′s to the Craft in homeland, and here′s
“Hands across the sea!”

Colorado

Greetings my Brethren!
I hope all of you are doing well, and your significant
others are doing well also.
Here is where I stand on the future with closer of our
buildings and meetings. First: We must follow Federal,
State, County, and City laws. Second: Our Grand Master has
put out an edict on meetings and it must be followed.
Third: Common sense.
With these in mind, after June 30th, 2020 every Valley in
Oregon, with the approval of the Personal Representative and his advisory group may
decide if they will meet, rent, etc. There is always an exception, Portland is the
exception in this case; because of the population and also that I live in the Portland
area. Portland Valley will remain closed until August 1st, 2020. Video chat and
GoToMeeting will be used for necessary meetings of the Rite. I base this decision on
the philosophy it is better to be safe than being sorry. (Lucky Portland, huh) Our
leadership elsewhere knows how things are going in each of their communities, so I
am leaving it up to them to make these important decisions.
Thank you for your leadership and God bless you all!

THE IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS ON THE
OREGON SCOTTISH RITE SPEECH AND
LANGUAGE CHARITY
It is heartwarming to be part of the Oregon Scottish Rite and
to know during these unsettling times of the coronavirus that
our Speech and Language Charity is continuing to assist
Oregon children.
While most Universities across our country who provided
Speech therapy have closed their doors, this was never
required nor considered by the Oregon Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry Speech & Language Clinic at Portland State University.
All clinic services have been moved to a Telepractice format and, according to PSU
staff, not one single child has been abandoned. In fact, they report that clinic service
has even expanded to assist more children than ever.
This inspiring result has been made possible, in no small part, by the funding over
the past years of research in Teletherapy by Dr. Megann McGill, a professor at the
PSU Speech and Language department. Only with the support of your Scottish Rite
Speech & Language Charity, Dr. McGill has developed the techniques, training, and
technical structure necessary to now provide this service on a larger scale.
Dr. McGill and Scottish Rite Clinic director Professor Claudia Meyer have been able
to train all 41 Speech Graduate students on how to conduct therapy sessions via
Tablet or Computer, making possible the continued aid to all clinic children. Clinic
Director Meyer stated, “All the children are doing great, even those 4 years old and
younger. The children and their families have adapted and are finding the new
format motivating.”
Every child receiving clinic services gets them for free with the help provide by your
Oregon Scottish Rite Speech & Language Charity. Professor Meyer indicated that
the gratitude expressed by the families has been overwhelming.
Remember your Oregon Speech & Language Charity is a
501(c)(3) non-profit and 100% of your donation stays in
Oregon.
