During The War

Stories About Our Brothers Divided


ldquoRekindling My Masonic Bondsrdquo

At the end of April I attended the Annual Communication for the

Grand Lodge of New Jersey held in Atlantic City Itrsquos a spectacular

sight to almost 1000 Freemasons walking around the hotel in their full

regalia Itrsquos a cloud of white lamb skin aprons all throughout the halls

In-between the early morning meetings we have our share of brother-

hood and fun Getting to see all my brothers from across the state

that I only get to see at such events is something that I look forward

to all year Irsquove made many friends throughout the years and I cherish

what our Craft provides us

I would like to congratulate all of the Grand Lodge staff who have won

their elections and the Brothers who love the Craft enough to run for

the chairs Whether they won or lost the election their hearts were in

it the whole way

Regarding this issuendash Irsquove worked through some crazy PC problems

( near hard drive failure and a wicked virus) to collect some of the best

info I could find on the topics that made it in the June edition Still I was

able to push through and create another issue of TWT Irsquom very happy

with the Civil War articles I think it shows truly how great of a Frater-

nity we are even in the middle of a tragedy

Hopefully the PC issues are over with for now Keep sending me emails

your feedback has been great I appreciate everyone that has taken the

time to write me As always send me over your paper articles and

interesting websites

Irsquom looking forward to hearing from you

Until next time

Old Masters Freemason Whisky

Old Masters is a rich blend originally created for the Freemasons and has been carefully chosen

from selected grain whiskies and specific Highland and Speyside malts This is the perfect Masonic

Gift for a Mason Brother Master or Past Master If you are a mason to any degree you will appreci-

ate the fantastic picture label on this bottle This wonderful item would create a fabulous talking

point before and after any Lodge meeting or diner It would also make a great prize for a Masonic

raffle or initiation ceremony This item is totally unique and original

This item is not available in any shops and is in limited supply making it very rare and collectable

This item is now supplied online in a Lombards Card Gift Box

Tasting Notes The perfect nose to experience blindfolded

(how else) as the depth of the fruit and grain

- and their happy intermingling - is astonishing

A few under-ripe gooseberries here Light

graceful arrival with the early emphasis on a

Speyside malt theme before some grain and oak

kicks in Pretty long with touches of cocoa

though the fresh malt lingers A high quality

blend that doesnt stint on the malt The nose

in particular is sublime

Old Tiler I can

save you some

trouble an-

nounced the

New Brother

The Old Tiler

leaned his

sword up

against the wall

and motioned

the New

Brother to a

seat I am

never adverse

to anyone saving me trouble

A petition was read in lodge tonight continued

the New Brother Man by the name of Ned Brink-

ley I have known old Brinkley for years I heard

your name on his committee I can tell you any-

thing you want to know

Nice of you repeated the Old Tiler Why does

Mr Brinkley want to be a Mason

Oh I dont know same reason we all do I

guess

You speak of him as Old Brinkley How old is

he

Must be all of 65 or maybe 68 Carpenter by

trade he is worked for me off and on for years

The wife never wants a shelf put up or a hinge

mended or a fence painted or the gutter spout fixed

that we dont call on old Brinkley Hes a fine old

chap very religious too I rather wondered at the

Master putting you on his petition

Why asked the Old Tiler

I know your reputation as a committeeman

smiled the New Brother You dig to the bottom

They dont waste you on people everyone knows

about Brinkley is a dead open-and-shut proposi-

tion Everyone in town knows him I guess I dont

see why they put an old ferret like you on his trail

But I can tell you anything you want to know about

him

Except why he wants to be a Mason answered

the Old Tiler dryly

Well that isnt important in this case He is a very

religious man and I suppose wants the religious

part of lodge work

You suppose Suppositions are not good enough

for me How does friend Brinkley know there is

anything religious about a lodge or Masonry Why

does a very religious man find his church insuffi-

cient to supply his religion Why does he wait until

he is 65 years old to want to be a Mason Those are

questions I want answered You know Brinkley as a

workman an obliging tinkerer with shelves and

gutter spouts But apparently you know nothing

else about him except that he is religious Suppose

you tell me how you know that much

How do I know he is religious Why he goes to

church every Sunday and he talks a great deal about

it I dont know

Ill say you dont know You dont really know

anything about Brinkley do you Your attitude is

too sadly common for the good of Masonry You

are familiar with Brinkleys name and his appear-

ance and his looks he has worked for you as an

odd job man for years Because he never stole

(Continued on page 14)

Claudy- ldquoOld Tyler Talksrdquo

ldquoHe Found Outrdquo


your silver or beat your dog you think he is a good

man Because he talks religion and goes to church

you term him religious He is a part a small part

but yet a part of your life and therefore he is all

right for your lodge Oh conceited man As if you

couldnt be fooled and taken in and hornswoggled

and deceived like anyone else

I happen to know considerable about Brinkley I

heard he was going to petition this lodge and I made

it my business to find out Listen and see how

much damage you might have done if I had been

less well informed and had taken your estimate of

Brinkley for truth

Brinkley owes a lot of money His credit is ex-

hausted There is nothing bad about the man he is a

well-meaning but shiftless person who has never

either the ambition or the ability to rise above spo-

radic day wages and occasional jobs He is weak so

he borrows right and left and runs accounts which

he seldom pays not that he isnt honest but that he

is careless

A few years ago he got into difficulties and seeing

no other way out attempted to become a Catholic

But the good fathers of the church turned him inside

out in no time and found out that he had been at

various times a member of at least four other

churches all for the work he could get and the char-

ity he could receive from their organizations He

has been a member of the Odd Fellows the Py-

thians the Red Men and a few others in all of

which organizations he has been dropped for NPD

At 65 or more years of age he suddenly conceives

a great regard for the Masonic fraternity and wants

to join our lodge Why I dont know but I

strongly suspect And my suspicions are well

founded in evidence that Mr Brinkley wants to

become a Mason for what he can get out of Ma-

sonry in a material way that I shall register a loud

round and emphatic negative on my report and I

very much suspect that both other committeemen

will do the same thing

Oh well of course answered the New Brother

I didnt know

Of course you didnt And because you only

guessed and hoped and believed and had no real

knowledge you would have done this lodge a

great injury if all the committeemen had depended

solely on your report

But I know now and I wont do it anymore

pleaded the New Brother

The Old Tiler grunted

Word of the Month


The Baltimore Convention

On May 8 1843 A national congress was

formed to create a uniform ritual for all of the

Lodges in the United States

The following article is a great overview

The Baltimore Convention of 1843 held May 8 to 17 at-

tempted to agree upon a mode of work to recommend to the

various Grand Lodges that Masonic ritual might become uni-

form throughout the nation

The catechism form of lectures came to this country with Free-

masonry The system originally arranged by Anderson and

Desaguliers was revised and improved by Martin Clare Tho-

mas Dunkerly William Hutchinson and most important Wil-

liam Preston who suggested if he did not exactly teach the

esoteric parts of the work by illustrations of symbols and em-

blems depicted on floor clothes or carpets - even today we

retain a reference to The Masters Carpet

The Prestonian work was largely spread in this country by Tho-

mas Smith Webb who published his first Freemasons Moni-

tor in 1797 He is supposed to have had the Prestonial work

from a pupil of Prestons John Hanmer Almost every Jurisdic-

tion (Pennsylvania excepted) adopted some or all of Webbs

modifications of Preston Webbs labors were greatly aided by

Jeremy Cross whose True Masonic Chart (illustrated by the

Connecticut engraver Amos Doolittle) is the foundation of

those often terrible examples of art seen today on Masonic

charts and lantern slides

In the early days of Masonry in this country a ritual with every

word prescribed had not been evolved According to Rob Mor-

ris The catechism being committed to memory the learner

was supposed to possess the method of work that is the drill

and drama Or ceremony of Masonry which was made literally

to conform to the lectures

Dr Mackey in his Lexicon said of the lectures These consti-

tute the simple text of Masonry while the extended illustra-

tions which are given to them by an intelligent Master or Lec-

turer constitute the commentary without which the simple text

would be comparatively barren and uninstructive

A joint committee report recommending the adoption of the

Webb lectures to the Grand Lodges of Massachusetts and New

Hampshire in 1806 stated In the three degrees every Master

of a Lodge should be indulged with the liberty of adopting

historical details and the personification of the passing scene

as most agreeable to himself his supporting officers and as-

sisting Lodge

That the lectures meant a catechism which the Baltimore

Convention wished to make uniform throughout the nation is

revealed in its official printed proceedings of Wednesday

May 8 1843

The Chairman of the Standing Committee on work stated

that the Committee had after mature deliberation decided on

the lecture of the first Degree and proceeded to report - Br

Moore citing the answers

In the first quarter of the nineteenth century the establishment

of Lodges rapidly followed the westward march of the pio-

neers Many prominent substantial and influential men be-

came Masons But the second quarter saw the Fraternity al-

most wiped out of existence The excitement created by the

disappearance of William Morgan of Batavia New York in

September 1826 ripened into a nationwide and extraordinar-

ily bitter anti-Masonic movement a crusade which became

relentless persecution

Anti-Masonic newspapers pamphlets almanacs and addresses

were distributed in large quantities Iterenant lecturers traveled

the country over each striving to outdo the other in denuncia-

tion of the Institution In public exhibitions before large audi-

ences crusaders purported to open Masonic Lodges and

confer Masonic Degrees upon disreputable persons Ex-

poses pretending to reveal the secrets of Freemasonry were

published

These widespread persecutions nearly wrecked the Fraternity

A very large number of Lodges either gave up their Charters





or became dormant Grand Lodges ceased to meet Masonry

was seriously affected everywhere

During the years of the Morgan warfare against the Craft little

Masonic work was done and the older and more skilled mem-

bers either died or lost their proficiency Professional Masonic

lecturers sought other means of livelihood So that when the

tide receded and petitions once more were presented to Lodges

the younger generation often received only imperfect instruc-

tion

On the defensive the Fraternity was obliged carefully to guard

against cowans and evesdroppers Evidence of membership of a

would-be visitor was critically tested Examining committees

proceeded on the theory that the presumption of regularity was

against the would-be visitor

Under such conditions lack of uni-

formity of masonic work among

the several Grand Lodges or even

among Lodges in the same State

was a formidable obstacle to fra-

ternal intercourse

Possible relief from these chaotic conditions it was thought

might be found in uniformity of the lectures Identification of

members could thus be the more readily made and lodges could

discontinue turning away visitors among whom many must

have been in good standing even if unable to prove themselves

In 1840 the Grand Lodge of Alabama requested all (Grand

Lodges in the nation with which she was in fraternal inter-

course to send a delegate to meet in a general convention the

first Monday in March 1842 in Washington D C for the

purpose of determining upon a uniform mode of work through-

out all the Lodges of the United States and to make other law-

ful regulations for the interest and security of the Craft

As a result representatives of Alabama Connecticut District

of Columbia Maryland Massachusetts New Hampshire New

York Rhode Island South Carolina and Virginia convened

On March 9 a committee of five John Dove Charles W

Moore James Herring William Field and Isaac E Holmes

appointed to revise and suggest a uniform mode of work re-

ported that among its members there exists a satisfactory de-

gree of uniformity but because many Grand Lodges were un-

represented it recommended that every Grand Lodge in the

United States appoint one or more skillful brethren to be styled

Grand Lecturers who shall meet and agree upon the course of

instruction necessary and proper to be imparted to the Lodges

and the Fraternity in their several Jurisdictions

Following the adoption of this report the Convention

Resolved That should the Grand Lodges or a majority of

them determine to adopt the recommendations contained in

the report of the Committee respecting the appointment of

Grand Lecturers that it be further recommended by this Con-

vention that the first meeting of said Grand Lecturers be held

in the City of Baltimore on the second Monday in May

1843

The Baltimore Convention met Monday May 8 1843 and

remained in session (Sunday excepted) to and including

Wednesday May 17 Delegates and visitors were as follows

Alabama Edward Herndon PGM District of Columbia

Nathanial Seevers GL Florida Thomas Hayward

PDGM Georgia Lemuel

and W J Reese GM (a visitor) Rhode Island William

Field South Carolina Albert Case GC South Wales Ed-

ward John Hutchins PPDGM (a visitor) Virginia John

Dove GS

On the opening day Dr Dove was elected president and Rev

Albert Case Grand Chaplain of the Strand Lodge of South

Carolina Secretary

On the second day agenda were adopted declaring the ob-

jects and purposes of the Convention to be

1 To produce uniformity of Masonic work

2 To recommend such measures as shall tend to the elevation

of this Order to its due degree of respect throughout the world

at large

To accomplish the first object four Committees were ap-

pointed viz-



ldquoTo produce uniformity

of Masonic workrdquo



1 On the work and lectures in conferring the degrees

2 On the funeral service

3 On the ceremonies of Consecration and Installation

4 On Masonic Jurisprudence

To accomplish the second object three Committees were ap-

pointed viz-

1 To report on the expediency of adopting a regularly author-

ized Masonic Trestleboard and further to report on the propri-

ety of publishing a work of antiquarian research and learning

on the origin and history of the Order of such a character as

shall exhibit the excellence and antiquity thereof in its true

light

2 To report on further measures necessary to carry out the pro-

gramme of the Washington Convention of 1842 in reference to

Grand Lodge certificates

3 To report on the expediency of issuing a letter addressed by

this Convention to the Fraternity throughout the United States

on the general state of Masonry etc

The Committee on the work and lectures in conferring the de-

grees was appointed on the second day of the Convention

Tuesday May 9 and consisted of Dr Dove of Virginia

(Chairman) Moore of Massachusetts Barney of Ohio

Wadsworth of New York and Carnegy of Missouri It made its

first report the next morning Except as to one member a

satisfactory degree of uniformity existed

The official printed proceedings of the Convention show fully

all of the matter printed relative to the reports of this Commit-

tee the Proceedings state-

The Chairman of the Standing Committee on work stated that

the Committee had after mature deliberation decided on the

Lecture of the first Degree and proceeded to report - Br

Moore giving the answers

Herndon Past Grand Master of Alabama offered the resolu-

tion That the Lecture on the first degree of Masonry as re-

ported by the Committee be by this Convention now adopted

as the authorized work in that degree to be recommended to

the Fraternity throughout the Union The proceedings then

state After an animated discussion the question was taken on

the Resolution and it was adopted 14 to 1 the delegate from

New York (Wadsworth of the Committee) dissenting

On Thursday morning May 11 The Chairman of the Commit-

tee on Work reported on the opening and closing ceremonies

of the first degree which was adopted

Then The Chairman of the Committee on Work assisted by

Br Moore reported the Lecture of the second degree

Br Wadsworth moved an amendment to the report which was

rejected The resolution to adopt the report was then adopted

Then The Chairman of the same Committee reported on the

opening and closing of a Lodge in the second degree After

some discussion in which several brethren took part the re-

port was adopted Br Wadsworth requested to be excused

from serving longer on the Committee on Work Excused

and Br Herndon of Alabama substituted

On Friday morning May 12 The Committee on Work pre-

sented a verbal report on the opening of the third degree

which was adopted

Then The Chairman on the Committee on Work presented a

verbal report on the 1st section of the lecture in the third de-

gree which was adopted after a slight amendment

At the afternoon session of the same day Br Moore from

the Committee on Work reported the second section of the

lecture in the third degree Br Case moved an amendment

which was adopted The report as amended was adopted

Then Br Moore from the same Committee reported the

third section of the Lecture in the third degree which was

adopted

At the afternoon session Saturday May 13 The Committee

on Work reported another section of the work of the third

degree On motion the report was adopted by a vote of 12

to 1 Wadsworth of New York dissenting

On Monday evening May 15 The Committee on Work ex-

emplified the opening and closing of the Lodge in the third

degree And on Tuesday morning May 16 The lecture of

the first Degree was given and repeated

What was it that the Baltimore Convention adopted and rec-

ommended to the various Grand Lodges of the country

In a letter written twenty years after the Convention quoted

in The Builder June 1916 R W Charles W Moore said

The work and lectures of the first three degrees as adopted

and authorized by the Baltimore Convention in 1843 were

with a few unimportant verbal exceptions literally as they





were originally compiled by Bro Thos S Webb about the

close of the last century and as they were subsequently taught

by him during his lifetime and also by his early and favorite

pupil Bro Benjamin Gleason from the years 1801-2 until his

death in 1847 I had the honor to be a member of the

Committee and to report the amendments and the lectures as

amended to the Convention This I did without alterations

from the original and these are now in my possession They

are mostly verbal few in number and not material in their

results The only change of consequence was in the due guards

of the second and third degrees which were changed and

made to conform to that of the first degree in position and ex-

planation This was analogically correct

To the Grand Lodge of Vermont Grand Master Phillip Crosby

Tucker said at the annual communication of 1861-

There can be no doubt then that the Lectures communicated by

(Henry) Fowle to (John) Barney were the genuine Lectures

taught by (Thomas Smith) Webb and (Benjamin) Gleason the

same which Gleason received from Webb in 1801 or 1802 the

same which he taught as Grand Lecturer of Massachusetts from

1805 the same that I found among the Boston Masons in 1823

or 1824 and the very same which are taught there now

AL Kress in The Builder September 1926 stated-

In 1760 what is now the EA sign was

called the EAs due guard or sign What

are now the EA and FC DGs were un-

known or at least not used as such There

was only one sign each in the EA and FC

degrees Some time about 1800 (the date

is indeterminate) it occurred to someone

to incorporate one movement or action to

be known as the due guard and the other

as the sign These were as follows In the

EA degree what is now the due guard

was then termed the sign and what is now

the sign was called the due guard In the

FC degree the two were given almost as

now except they were never given sepa-

rately In the MM degree the due guard

was given with the right hand only In

1843 a convention was held at Baltimore

Md to agree on a uniform ritual Among

other things they reversed the procedure

in the EA degree What was then the due

guard they made our present sign and vice

versa In the MM degree they adopted the use of both hands in

giving the MM due guard

Under the title Immovable Jewels Dr Mackeys Lexicon

says

According to the old system in England the immovable jew-

els of the Lodge are the Rough Ashlar Perfect Ashlar and

Trestle Board but in this Country by the decision of the Bal-

timore Convention in 1843 they are made to consist of the

Square Level and Plumb

Apparently only three major changes of importance were

adopted by the Baltimore Convention The third is seen in

The Masonic Trestleboard the manual or monitor issued by

the authority of the Convention (the same may be seen in

many modern manuals and monitors) On Plate 3 appeared the

following cryptic figures

7 (34) 5 (32) 3

An explanation by Dr James W S Mitchell PGM (Mo) in

his magazine The Masonic Signet and Literary Mirror for

March 1852 reads About the time of the rage of anti- Ma-

sonry various schemes and devices and non-essential changes

were proposed among which it was gravely suggested that

all members of Lodges must be M Ms that the business of

the Lodge should be done in the third degree which would

require all applicants to visit to prove themselves to be M

Ms In some Jurisdictions this system was

adopted in others the good old way was adhered

to

Doubtless the reasons which impelled the Con-

vention to take this action were those which had

moved it to adopt the other changes or amend-

ments to prevailing words and practices

However that may be it seems clear that the Bal-

timore

Convention adopted with only three major

changes of importance the lectures as taught by

Thomas Smith Webb and recommended their

adoption by the several grand Lodges then in exis-

tence

Biography- Buzz Aldrin




Overview Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr born January 20 1930 is an American mechanical engi-

neer retired United States Air Force pilot and astronaut who was the Lunar

Module pilot on Apollo 11 the first manned lunar landing in history On July 20

1969 he was the second human being to set foot on the Moon following mis-

sion commander Neil Armstrong

Early life Aldrin was born in Glen Ridge New Jersey to Edwin Eugene Aldrin Sr a ca-

reer military man and his wife Marion Moon He is of Scottish Swedish and

German ancestry After graduating from Montclair High School in 1946 Aldrin turned down a full scholarship offer from The Massachusetts Institute of Tech-

nology (MIT) and went to the US Military Academy at West Point The nick-

name Buzz originated in childhood the younger of his two elder sisters mis-

pronounced brother as buzzer and this was shortened to Buzz Aldrin

made it his legal first name in 1979

Nasa Aldrin was selected as part of the third group of NASA astronauts in October

1963 Test pilot experience was no longer a requirement so this was the first selection that he was eligible for After the deaths of the original Gemini 9 prime

crew Elliot See and Charles Bassett Aldrin was promoted with Jim Lovell to

back-up crew for the mission The main objective of the revised mission

(Gemini 9A) was to rendezvous and dock with a target vehicle but when this

failed Aldrin improvised an effective exercise for the craft to rendezvous with a

coordinate in space He was confirmed as pilot on Gemini 12 the last Gemini

mission and the last chance to prove methods for EVA Aldrin set a record for

extra-vehicular activity and proved that astronauts could work outside space-

craft

On July 20 1969 he was the second astronaut to walk on the moon and the first to have also spacewalked keeping

his record total EVA time until that was surpassed on Apollo 14 There has been much speculation about Aldrins de-

sire at the time to be the first astronaut to walk on the moon According to different NASA accounts he had origi-

nally been proposed as the first to step onto the Moons surface but due to the physical positioning of the astro-

nauts inside the compact Lunar Landing Module it was easier for the commander Neil Armstrong to be the first to

exit the spacecraft There was also a desire on NASAs part for the first person to step onto the Moons surface be

a civilian which Armstrong was

Buzz Aldrin was the first person to hold a religious ceremony on the Moon Aldrin is as he was a Presbyterian Af-

ter landing on the moon Aldrin radioed Earth Id like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in

whoever and wherever they may be to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours and

to give thanks in his or her own way He gave himself Communion on the surface of the Moon but he kept it se-

cret because of a lawsuit brought by atheist activist Madelyn Murray OHair over the reading of Genesis on Apollo 8





Aldrin a church elder used a pastors home Communion kit given

to him by Dean Woodruff and recited words used by his pastor at

Webster Presbyterian Church Webster Presbyterian Church a

local congregation in Webster Texas (a Houston suburb near the

Johnson Space Center) possesses the chalice used for communion

on the moon and commemorates the event annually on the Sunday

closest to July 20 Aldrin a Freemason also carried to the Moon a

special deputization from Grand Master J Guy Smith with which to

claim Masonic territorial jurisdiction over the Moon on behalf of the

The Temple Church in London famed for its rare circular nave called the Round was built by the Knights Templar in the 12th century It is one of only three Norman round churches left in Eng-land

History In the mid-12th century the Knights Templar or Red Knights (so called after the red crosses they wore) had their London headquarters at a site in High Holborn But by the 1160s the order out-grew the original site and purchased property near Fleet Street for establishment of a larger monastic compound The Temple Church was consecrated on February 10 1185 in a ceremony conducted by Heraclius the Crusader Patriarch of Jerusalem King Henry II may have been present at the consecration The Knights Templar held worship services and their secret initiation rites in the Round the oldest part of the Tem-ple Church The church was originally part of a large monastic compound that included residences military training facilities and recreational grounds for the military brethren and novices who were not permitted to go into the city without the permission of the Master of the Temple The order of the Knights Templar was very powerful in England in this early period The Master of the Temple sat in parliament as primus baro (the first baron of the realm) The Temple compound was regu-larly used as a residence by kings and by legates of the Pope The temple also served as an early depository bank sometimes in defiance of the Crowns wishes to seize the funds of nobles who had entrusted their wealth there The Temple was the scene of important nego-tiations leading to the signing of Magna Carta in 1215 Instrumental in these negotiations was William Marshal whose effigy is in the Round The original church had a small choir but this was greatly enlarged in the early 1200s when King Henry III expressed a wish to be buried there The new chancel was consecrated on Ascension Day 1240 However when Henrys will was read upon his death in 1272 it was discovered he had changed his mind and wanted to be buried in Westminster Abbey instead Having started out poor holy and dedicated to the protection of pilgrims the Knights Templar grew rich from showers of royal gifts Their popularity waned until in the 14th century they were charged with heresy blasphemy and sodomy thrown into the Tower of London and stripped of their wealth With the suppression of the Templars the Knights of Malta obtained control of the property In Part I of the 16th century play Henry VI by William Shakespeare the Temple Church is the scene of the start of the 15th century Wars of the Roses In the play the war was sparked by the plucking of two roses in the Temple garden In 2002 the Shakespearian tradition was commemorated with the planting of new white and red roses in the

modern gardens Later law professors who worked in the area began to rent a portion of the space in the early 1600s King James I granted control of the complex to their societies Each section of The Temple mdash Inner Temple and Middle Temple mdash has its own halls gardens courts and library collections but the Temple Church is held in common by both The Temple Church survived the Great Fire of London (1666) unscathed but received restorations anyway by Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723) In 1841 the walls and ceiling of the church were renovated in the Victorian Gothic style On May 10 1941 during the height of the Battle of Britain in World War II a German air raid of incendiary bombs severely damaged the Temple Church The roof of the Round Church caught fire which quickly spread to the nave and chancel All the wooden parts of the church including the Victorian renovations were destroyed After the war the Temple Church was fully restored it was rededicated on November 1958 Today the Temple Church is still the main chapel of those who work in the Temple area It also functions as an An-glican parish church with regular worship services and choir performances conducted here The head of the church bears the title Master of the Temple after the head of the order of the Knights Templar The present Master of the Temple is the Reverend Robin Griffith-Jones appointed in 1999 He gives regular lunch-time talks open to the public many of which have recently been on the subject of the Temple Churchs role in the controversial novel The Da Vinci Code (on which more below)

What to See One might expect the Temple Church to be dark and thickly atmospheric but later restorations have tamed its air of antique mystery Still its a lovely Gothic-Romanesque church whose chancel (the Oblong dating from 1240) has been accused of perfection The church is made entirely of beautiful cream-colored Caen stone One of the most interesting aspects inside the Temple Church are the 10 knightly effigies that lie in the old round church These were believed to be tombs until the post-WWII restoration revealed no bodies but only effigy memorials All the knights are on their back but are otherwise positioned in different ways some have their legs extended straight out while others have their legs crossed some wear tunics over their armor and others wear full-length robes some clutch their swords some pray and some have their arms straight at their sides One has no effigy at all but only a trapezoidal sarcophagus lid Look also for the Norman door and take note of the circle of grotesque portrait heads including many silly human faces and a goat in a mortar-board The use of gargoyles to express masons imaginations and irrever-ence through gargoyle sculptures is common in churches but it is unusual for them to be placed indoors This al-





lows you to examine each unique and fascinating face up close instead of high up on a drain spout as is more usual The nave part of the church (the Oblong) is lovely featuring colorful stained glass windows an impressive organ and a beautiful wooden altar designed by famed architect Sir Christopher Wren The altar was designed for the Temple Church but was mercifully in a museum in Durham when the Temple Church was nearly destroyed in 1944 It has now been restored to its intended position where visitors can admire the woodwork and read the Ten Com-mandments the Apostles Creed and the Lords Prayer in handsome gold script

In the Da Vinci Code The Temple Church is the setting of an action-packed scene in the popular novel The Da Vinci Code In chapters 83 85 and 86 Robert Langdon Sophie Neveau and Leigh Teabing arrive at the Temple Church pursuing the answer to their latest riddle In London lies a knight a Pope interred His labours fruit a Holy wrath incurred You seek the orb that ought be on his tomb It speaks of Rosy flesh and seeded womb

After a careful examination of the ten knights the group learn from an altar boy that there are no tombs in the church only effigies

Eventually they realize the riddle refers to the tomb of Sir Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey but not before they are held at gunpoint in the church by the bad guys

On the way to the Temple Church (chapter 82) Leigh Teabing had explained to his companions that its architecture is pagan to the core He told them it is Pantheonically pagan ignoring the traditional cruciform shape in favor of a round shape in honour of the sun A not-so-subtle howdy-do to the boys in Rome They might as well have resurrected Stonehenge in central Lon-don

In reality it is generally believed that the round shape of the Temple Church was patterned after the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem which the Knights Templar were responsible for guarding during the Crusades There is no evi-dence it had anything to do with either the Pan-theon in Rome or worship of the sun (And the





more traditional chancel was added only a half-century after the Round) There are three other round churches in England including one in Cambridge

sbquoArchbishop allows freemason to be

bishop‛ The Archbishop of Canterbury is

at the centre of a row after it emerged he had appointed a

Freemason to be a bishop

By Jonathan Wynne-Jones

Dr Rowan Williams named the

Rev Jonathan Baker as the next

Bishop of Ebbsfleet despite

knowing he was an active and

senior mason

The appointment announced

earlier this month marked a sig-

nificant U-turn by Dr Williams who had previously said

that Freemasonry was ―incompatible with Christianity

and had refused to promote Masons to senior posts

Last week as news of Fr Bakerlsquos membership of the Ma-

sons began to circulate through the Church it provoked

growing concern and criticism from clergy and members

of the General Synod

When contacted by The Sunday Telegraph on Friday Fr

Baker defended his continued membership of the Masons

and insisted it was compatible with his new role as a

bishop

Yet yesterday he said he had changed his mind was leav-

ing the masons so he could concentrate on being a bishop

adding ―I wish nothing to distract from the inauguration

of that ministry

Freemasonry a secretive male-only organisation dating

back 300 years requires its members to declare a belief in

a ―supreme being and to undergo elaborate rituals

Fr Baker joined the Apollo University Masonic lodge in

Oxford while he was a student in an initiation ceremony

that involves promising to keep the ―secrets of Freema-

sonry

This ritual is said to involve members being blindfolded

wearing a hangmanlsquos noose and being warned that those

who break the oaths of allegiance will have their throat

slit and their tongue torn out before being buried in the

sand

He remained a member of the lodge

for more than 20 years until his resig-

nation yesterday rising in the organi-

sation to serve a term as an assistant

Grand Chaplain

Fr Baker who is currently principal at

Pusey House in Oxford said he had

told Archbishop Williams he was a

mason when they discussed his ap-

pointment to be the next Bishop of Ebbsfleet ndash one of the

―flying bishops who oversee clergy opposed to women

priests The post had fallen vacant when its previous

holder quit to join the Roman Catholic Church

He said on Friday ―For many years I have been an active

member and I continue to be a member This came up in

discussion with Rowan but it has not caused a problem

for me at any stage of my ministry and it wonlsquot cause a

problem now

He argued that it would not interfere with his role of over-

seeing traditionalist parishes and said he saw no conflict


June 2011


in being a bishop and a Freemason

―Ilsquove never found it to be anything other than an or-

ganisation that is wholly supportive of the Church

However yesterday he said ―I have concluded that

because of the particular charism of episcopal ministry

and the burden that ministry bears I am resigning my

membership of Freemasonry

He said that in his conversation with Dr Williams

about taking up the Ebbsfleet post the Archbishop had

asked him to reconsider his membership of Freema-

sonry but was happy for the appointment to go for-

ward while he was still a Mason

Yet Dr Williams has previously expressed serious

concerns about clergy being involved with the organi-

sation

In 2002 shortly before he became the Archbishop of

Canterbury Dr Williams wrote in a letter to Hugh Sin-

clair of the Movement for the Register of Freema-

sons ―I have real misgivings about the compatibility

of Masonry and Christian profession I have resisted

the appointment of known Masons to certain senior

posts

A year later he repeated this unease when he tried to

apologise for upsetting Freemasons with his com-

ments saying ―Where anxieties exist they are in rela-

tion not to Freemasonry but to Christian ministers sub-

scribing to what could be and often is understood [or

misunderstood] as a private system of profession and

initiation involving the taking of oaths of loyalty

His senior advisers went even further at the time ―He

questions whether itlsquos appropriate for Christian minis-

ters to belong to secret organisations said The Rev

Gregory Cameron a close friend and former chaplain

to Dr Williams ―He also has some anxiety about the

spiritual content of Masonry

A spokesman for Dr Williams said at the time that he

was ―worried about the ritual elements in Freema-

sonry which some have seen as possibly Satanically

inspired and how that sits uneasily with Christian be-

lief

He continued ―The other idea is that because they are

a society there could be a network that involves mu-

tual back-scratching which is something he would be

greatly opposed to

Last night Christina Rees a member of the Archbish-

opslsquo Council said ―The fact that Jonathan Baker has

resigned as a Freemason suggests to me there is a seri-

ous incompatibility between the organisation and the

Church If it was only a matter of perception surely he

could have stuck it out

Her comments were echoed by Alison Ruoff a promi-

nent member on the General Synod who said she had

been stunned to learn of Fr Bakerlsquos involvement with

the Masons

―Ilsquom pleased to hear helsquos resigned as a Mason because

it is clear that the gospel does not go with masonic be-

liefs she said

―I think Rowan should have said he could not be a

bishop if he continued to be a Mason

The Rev David Phillips general secretary of the

Church Society a conservative evangelical group

said ―The Church has said that Freemasonry is not

compatible with Christianity so appointing him as a

bishop seems to contradict its own stance

Lambeth Palace declined to comment

I would love to hear your comments about this Do you

think it was necessary to make him resign



sbquoFreemason charged in $1M embezzlement‛

A 58-year-old Maine man accused of embezzling more than $1 million from within the secre-

tive headquarters of the Massachusetts Grand Lodge of Masons is scheduled to be arraigned

today in Suffolk Superior Court

Vincent Paul Reed Jr of Shapleigh Maine spent $125 million in Mason funds on personal

travel expenses household pets utilities and credit card debt prosecutors said

The theft is alleged to have taken place from 2001 to 2008 mdash while Reed served as elected

treasurer of the Boston Council of Loyal Select Master Masons and the St Paullsquos chapter of

the Loyal Arch Masons said Jake Wark spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel

Conley

Both divisions of the ancient fraternal order meet at the Masonic lodge on Tremont Street

downtown

Neither Reed nor his lawyer could be reached

A spokesman for the Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts released a statement thanking

investigators for their hard work and saying they look forward to a ―swift resolution

―When we discovered Mr Reedlsquos actions we immediately reported our findings to the authori-

ties the statement said

―Honor integrity and trust are the bedrock principles of Freemasonry We hold our members

accountable for their actions and take transgressions seriously

The Herald reported in 2008 that Conleylsquos office began investigating along with Secretary of

State William Galvin after a member of the lodge discovered irregularities

In 2005 former Bay State Freemason Brad Bleidt was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison

for swindling millions from financial investors including about $2 million from the Masons

sbquoFreemasons to do a lsquoSwadesrsquo will

bring light to 50 villages in India‛ httpwwwdnaindiacom DNA DNA Correspondent Sunday May 8 2011 1320 IST

Freemasonry one of the worlds largest and oldest organisa-

tions often described as a secret society has decided to do a

Swades in India In the movie Shahrukh Khan with the help

of local residents electrifies a village to rid it of its power

woes This is exactly the work Freemasonry has embarked

upon

As part of their Golden Jubilee celebrations the organization

has decided to electrify 50 villages which do not have access

to electricity Villages in the state which are yet to get elec-

tricity supply are also covered under the project

We have embarked on project Jyotirgamaya (Let there be

light) under which we plan to light up 50 villages in the coun-

try using solar energy Work for the project is in different

stages of implementation in 26 villages We plan to cover 50

villages by October 31 Dr Balaram Biswakumar Grand

Master Grand Lodge of India told reporters

Biswakumar informed that the organization would spend

around Rs2 crore for lighting up the 50 villages

Sunday will be a special day for the 250-odd residents of Ba-

naskanthas Nalwas village one of the few villages in Gujarat

yet to be electrified Freemasonry has included Nalwas under

Jyotirgamaya and the project will be inaugurated tomorrow

Nalwas will be the sixth village in the country to be electrified

under the project

Ironically mobile phone connectivity is available in the re-

mote and tribal dominated village but villagers have to travel

20-25 km to charge their phones However they will be

spared the trouble with the launch of the electrification pro-

ject which has been completed at a cost of Rs35 lakh

The system consists of PV solar module charger storage

batteries LED lamps and electric wiring from solar panels to

hutments The modules produce direct current from sunlight

which charges batteries through a charge controller After sun-

set the stored energy from batteries will light the village

said Rajiv Sethi assistant regional Grand Master

Biswakumar said that they are in the process of identifying

more un-electrified villages in the state which could be cov-

ered in the project

sbquoWant to know a secret

All is told at Mason exhibit‛ By PATRICK BALES EDITOR

The St Lawerence Lodge No 131 is commemorating

its 150th anniversary and to celebrate this momentous

occasion a new exhibit is now officially open at the

Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre in South-

ampton

Freemasonry -A History Hidden in Plain Sight

opened Saturday afternoon with more than 200 people

from across the province in at tendance to get the first

look at the one-of-a-kind exhibit which features vari-

ous displays showcasing the history of freemasonry

not only in Bruce County but all around the world

Also included is a model of the actual lodge the local

masons meet in

In fact Barbara Ribey curator of the museum told

those gathered for the opening ceremony the exhibit is

the only one like it currently in Canada However it is

an exhibit that is designed to travel and there is inter-

est already from other museums in the province to rent

it following its inaugural showing in Southampton

The opening ceremony for the exhibit was held in the

OPG feature gallery in the museums lower level The

exhibit itself which was prepared with assistance

from a $13600 Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant is

in the Bruce Gallery on the third floor

The Freemasons in Bruce County -specifically St

Lawrence Lodge -have an intriguing his-tor y of dedi-

cated community service and fellowship ip said

Huron Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell in a letter Mitchell

was unable to attend Saturdays grand opening and her

remarks were delivered by Ron Oswald who is not

only a member of the Local Ontario Trillium Founda-

tion Grant Review Team but also has been a Mason

for more than 50 years This exhibit offers an excit-

ing opportunity to learn more about the mystery sur-

rounding Freemasonry and the role it has played in our

local heritage Mitchell The guest of honour for the

opening ceremony was Brother Raymond SJ Daniels

Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the

Province of Ontario Daniels spoke at the ceremony

before the ribbon cutting proclaiming Saturday to be

a great day for freemasonry in Ontario

The goal of the exhibit is to inform arouse curiosity

and promote the heritage and cultural identity of Free-

masonry in Canadian communities as well as show

the public the history role and admirable qualities of

Freemasonry and the role of the Masons in Bruce

County in decades past wrote Shannon Paiva market-

ingspecial events co-ordinator for the museum in a

news release

The exhibit will show the role masonry paternalism

played in development of the county and this great

province said Garry MacGregor the media represen-

tative for the Masons for this exhibit and emcee for

the opening ceremony

The exhibit is absolutely spectacular Daniels raved

after he and Ribey cut the ribbon and the mass of peo-

ple poured through Its one of the greatest exhibits

Ive ever seen and Im so proud of the work the fellows

here have done on it

The idea for the exhibit was credited to Doug Pedwall

a past master of the St Lawerence Lodge No 131 and

chairman of the 150th anniversary committee Being

formed in 1860 just two years following Southamp-

tons incorporation as a village the lodge is the oldest

continuous service group in Saugeen Shores

If you stop and think what other organization in

Southampton has been active here at the heart of this

community for 150 years Daniels said

The original intention Pedwall said was to do a

small display about the lodge itself Then it morphed




into something much larger encompassing many more

elements of masonry and many more groups There were

15 lodges involved in putting the exhibit together from

both the Bruce and North Huron districts

Pedwall is a bit of a history buff and has done plenty of

reading and research on the masons over time so the in-

formation presented in the exhibit was not really surpris-

ing to him however many pieces of information such as

the philanthropy of the various lodges might be news to

several of the museums visitors

All lodges tend to be small in numbers at any given time

but they are very long and very active in their communi-

ties he explained As we went through the minute

books we found out that prior to the (public health care)

Masonic lodges were contributors to a number of hospi-

tals that patients from their community would go to For

example our lodge gave a yearly donation to the forerun-

ner of Sick Kids Hospital which was started by one of

our Grand Masters

Pedwall added most people may not realize how much

money Masonic lodges donate to various projects because

the groups often do not publicize their philanthropy For

many that is just part of some of the grand mysteries that

still surround Freemasonry There is hope Freemasonry -

A History Hidden in Plain Sight will help to dispel some

of those myths

Ive got a secret Daniels joked with the crowd during

his remarks before the ribbon cutting And today Im go-

ing to tell you But then he said he would not tell any se-

cret because of what the people were about to see

A picture is worth a thousand words he added

After the ribbon cutting Daniels touched on the miscon-

ceptions of the secrets of the Masons

Weve always been accused of being a secret society

which clearly we are not You can go in there and see any-

thing you want to see and there will interpreters to answer

questions you want to ask he said So what Ive been

describing in the last 50 years as Grand Master weve en-

dured a cultural revolution in opening ourselves up to the

public We have nothing to hide we have everything to be

proud of

The exhibit will be on display between April 30 and July

One of the first acts of Masonic Charity to occur in the

American Civil War occurred at the First Battle of Ma-

nassas or Bull Run on July 21st 1861 This act was re-

ported in the Boston Masonic Monthly which started

publishing in November 1863 and was edited by Ed-

ward L Mitchell

Colonel WH Raynor of the 1st Ohio left his command

and in the company of two sergeants went to fetch water

at a nearby creek Suddenly as they neared the stream

they heard the yell that eventually became known as the

Rebel Yell and the thundering hoofs of hundreds of

horses Colonel Raynor instinctively raised his pistol just

as a buckshot from a pistol hit the instep of his foot and

numbed it Finding a large tree nearby he dropped upon

his knees behind it and watched the battle rage around

him A horseman fired his pistol at Raynor and missed

and then as he passed by struck Raynor with his sabre

Lights flashed through Raynors brain and he fell to the

ground senseless looking almost dead

After a period of time Raynor slightly becoming con-

scious realized that someone was tugging at his clothes

Bewildered he leaned upon one elbow and realized that a

Rebel soldier was stripping the dead He had already

taken Raynors pistol sword canteen and cap and was

trying to take his coat The robber being startled at the

resurrection of the man he was trying to rob jumped on

his horse and rode off

Later coming completely to his senses Raynor realized

he was surrounded by the Confederate cavalry Two cav-

alrymen seeing him standing there grabbed him between

their horses and dragged him off a considerable dis-

tance Finally one lifted him and placed him in front of

him on his horse They rode till they came to a group

of Rebel wounded There he was placed upon the

ground and a group gathered around him cursing him

and calling him names Being weak from the loss of

blood and in considerable pain he just laid back and

ignored them His being quiet caused even more of a

commotion to the point that one angry wounded Con-

federate fired his pistol at Raynor but missed Then the

Southerners argued over this cowardly act By this

time Raynor had almost wished that the ball had

pierced his brain

Raynor was soon lifted behind a Rebel cavalryman and

carried to the junction about four miles away Here fresh

Confederate troops were unloading and heading to the

battle Raynor was again met by verbal abuse

It was now early evening and the Southern wounded

from the front were being treated at the junction in a sta-


ble Raynor was taken first to a surgeon who refused

to treat him because he was a Yankee and who said

that he had enough others to take care of from his

own army Finally another more compassionate sur-

geon was found and his wounds were taken care of

He was made as comfortable as possible His guard

JH Lemon of Radfords Cavalry truly acted the part

of the good Samaritan Lemon somewhere found

some ice and put it on the pounding head of Raynor

and inquired if Raynor needed any money

In response to Raynors

expressions of gratitude

pointing to the Masonic

pin on Raynors shirt

Lemon replied I can only

hope to get the same treat-

ment from your men if I

ever fall into their hands

If you will relieve the dis-

tresses of a suffering

Brother Mason when in

your power I shall be well

paid Lemon then

mounted his horse and

rode away

The next morning Raynor

was removed to a barn that

contained 20 other Union officers and he learned the

full extent of the Confederate victory

An example from a unit which also belongs to our

famed Iron Brigade of which we belong Colonel

Henry A Morrow commanded the 24th Michigan of

the 1st Brigade (Iron Brigade) of the 1st Corps

Wounded during the fighting on the first day at Get-

tysburg he was captured by the Confederates As the

Confederates prepared to retreat after the disastrous

Picketts Charge a Confederate (also a Mason) sur-

geon decided that Morrows scalp wound was too se-

rious for him to be taken along as a prisoner He also

figured that he would get better care in the North The

surgeon probably saved his life due to the hardships of

prison life

Another example LJ Williams of Harvard New

York enlisted in the 114th New York Volunteers at

the beginning of the Civil War He received the En-

tered Apprentice and Fellowcraft Degrees in Downs-

ville Lodge No 464 prior to his leaving home

Later during the war he was captured and impris-

oned near Savannah Georgia While in the prison

he communicated with his friends in the North His

lodge in New York through the proper officials got

in touch with Zerubbabel Lodge in Savannah and

stated that they would consider it a favor if the lodge

in Savannah would confer the

Third Degree on the Fellow-

craft Brother Williams

One night Brother Williams

was taken from the prison and

conducted to the lodge room in

Savannah He only had his

blue tattered uniform to wear a

token of his sympathy with the

cause he believed in The offi-

cers of the lodge were all in

Confederate gray Although on

opposite sides in the struggle

going on on the battlefields of

the South they were all Breth-

ren He was then and there

raised to the sublime degree of

Master Mason and acclaimed a

full Brother and friend to those who wore the gray

Later that night Brother Williams escaped When

asked about his escape he would smile peculiarly

You might put it down as an escape but it wasnt an

escape strictly speaking They put me in a boat and

carried me off some distance Then they deposited

me on neutral soil between the lines From there

Williams was able to find his friends Williams

never knew who exactly helped him escape He con-

sidered it as their secret and it was never disclosed

Williams stated I know exactly to whom I may at-

tribute my escape His name is Hiram

An example of how a lodge was saved After 4 years

of war the weary and almost defeated Confederate Army

was retreating and leaving the Confederate capital of

Richmond to its own fate As the army retreated fires

broke out in all sections of the city Hoodlums deserters

and criminals with no law and order began to pillage the

city

Just as the city seemed to be doomed a Union cavalry

unit swung up Franklin Street The bearded colonel

looked warily at the riff raff around him who were about

to fire a building which bore a sign Masonic Hall Tak-

ing command of the moment he halted his troopers and

ordered that an adjutant have all Masons wheel out of

column Almost half of his force moved out From this

group he ordered a suitable guard to protect the Masonic

Temple The column reformed and resumed its ride Later

General Godfrey Weitzel a Mason gave the order after

a request by the Lodge to continue the guard The build-

ing saved is said to have been the oldest purely Masonic

building in America with records dating back to 1787

and the historic building itself was built in 1785 by Rich-

mond Lodge 10 The Grand Lodge assembled here after

its formation in Williamsburg until its move in 1869

RW Houghton in a report relates a slightly different

story to the saving of the lodge in Richmond or he could

be referring to a different building

Emanuel Semon reported that Major AH Stevens the

Provost Marshal of Richmond raised the first Union

flags over the city of Richmond and that immediately af-

ter doing so went looking for the Masonic Lodge Brother

Semon was one of the first he met there and Semon stated

that he had quartered against the approach of cowans

and eavesdroppers for the last 25 years Major Stevens

immediately sent Semon a guard and made sure that the

officer of the guard was a Mason He also sent a guard to

Semons home Semons daughters home and to a number

of other Masons homes in the city

A third account exists of the saving of the Masonic Hall

In the history of Lodge Francaise No 53 AF amp AM

published in 1874 their Tiler Brother Thomas Angel was

commended for saving the temple Recognizing that his

duties as Tiler not only pertained to guarding the en-

trance but also to the general protection and covering

the lodge from all harm Brother Angel with

commendable zeal energy and presence of mind took

action even with the Federal troops bearing down on the

city of Richmond

After conversing with Grand Secretary Dove of the Vir-

ginia Grand Lodge he proceeded to collect all the jewels

and what clothing he could find from every lodge in the

city and deposited them in the Masonic Hall on Franklin

Street Angel then proceeded to dress himself in the time

honored badge of a Mason and took his place at the door

of the Temple The Northern troops respected the guard

placed at the Temple by Major Stevens The guard under

the command of another Mason Sergeant Gibbs re-

mained with Brother Angel day and night for three

months

THE FINAL ACT BY A MASON IN THE

CIVIL WAR

It was an April morning

three days after General

Robert E Lee had surren-

dered to General US

Grant The Southern

troops led by General

John B Gordon a Mason

were marching in col-

umns towards the North-

ern troops who were

standing in formation

waiting for the Southern-

ers to stack arms and fold

their flags Suddenly a

shifting of arms is heard

Gordon looked up with alarm There was nothing to

fear General Joshua Chamberlain had ordered his

troops to assume the position of honor answering

honor Immediately the Confederate troops snapped to

attention and returned the honor It was the first act to

heal the wounds of a nation that had spent four years

and 618000 lives in civil war That command of honor

answering honor was ordered by a Mason

Major General Joshua Chamberlain was a member of

United Lodge 8 Brunswick Maine After the war he





became Governor of Maine from 1866-1871 and President

of Bowdoin College from 1871-83

And for my closing example we go back a few years but

now we are again on our own states soil in Gettysburg

and perhaps the best example of the ties of brotherhood

which occurred on the battlefield at Gettysburg This bat-

tle the turning point of the War saw 93000 Federal

troops doing battle with 71000 Confederates Of those

numbers more than 35000 were killed or wounded in the

three days of fighting from July 1 to July 3 1863 Of the

men who fought 17930 were Freemasons including the

roughly 5600 who became casualties

One of the most famous events and one that I have men-

tioned earlier that occurred at Gettysburg was the huge

Confederate infantry push known as Picketts Charge On

July 3 Pickett (a member of Dove Lodge 51 Richmond

Va) led nearly 12000 men on a long rush across open

fields towards the center of the Union line on Cemetery

Ridge It has been called the last and greatest infantry

charge in military history

One of the men leading that charge was Brigadier General

Lewis Addison Armistead CSA He was a member of Al-

exandria-Washington Masonic Lodge 22 in Alexandria

Originally from North Carolina he had attended West

Point and fought with the US Army for a number of years

before resigning his commission to fight for the Confeder-

acy During that time he had occasion to serve with now

Major General Winfield Scott Hancock USA (Charity

Lodge 190 Norristown Pa) while both men were in the

west The two had become good friends However with

Armisteads resignation it had been nearly two and a half

years since the two men had had any contact Until Get-

tysburg that is

It was Hancock who had taken command of the frag-

mented Union troops on Cemetery Ridge on July 1 and

organized them into a strong front that had withstood

three days of pounding from the Confederate guns And it

was his position in the center of the Union line that was

the focus of Picketts Charge General Armistead led his

men and vaulted the stone wall yelled give them cold

steel and headed for the cannons that had until recently

been firing on his men

As he laid his hand on one of the guns of the 4th US Artil-

lery the 69th Pennsylvania Infantry fired upon the gray

coated General and the men who had followed him Many

went down including Armistead He was heard to cry for

help as the son of a widow

Colonel Rawley W Martin of the 53rd Virginia lay near

by and witnessed as some of the men of the 69th Penna

Rose up and came to Armisteads aid Captain Henry H

Bingham (Chartiers Lodge 297 Canonsburg Pa) physi-

cian and Mason was brought to assist Armistead Ar-

mistead inquired of his friend and Masonic Brother Gen-

eral Winfield Scott Learning that Hancock had also been

wounded he entrusted to Bingham his Masonic watch and

personal papers to give to his friend and Brother General

Hancock Two days later Armistead died in a Union hos-

pital on the Spangler farm of his wounds

Bingham survived the war and in fact won a Congres-

sional Medal of Honor in 1867 He retired in 1867 and

went on to become a member of the United States Con-

gress where he served for 33 years He died in 1812 at the

age of 70

General Hancock survived his wounds though it was a

long time until he returned to the Army He later com-

manded the Department of the East of the United States

Army and died in 1886 still in command In 1880 he had

lost an attempt for the United States Presidency to James

Garfield

PART 2

MASONS AT THE BATTLE OF

GETTYSBURG THE MASONIC FRIEND

TO FRIEND MONUMENT

From the St Stephens Lodge 145

The Battle of Gettysburg which took place from July 1

through July 3 1863 is the most famous most bloody

and in many ways the most significant battle of the US

Civil War from 1861 to 1865 Robert E Lee took his





Confederate Army of Northern Virginia on a controver-

sial invasion of the Northern States in an effort to allevi-

ate Virginia from having armies continue to fight there

and also in an effort to bring the Union Army of the Po-

tomac out of its fortifications to a climactic battle that

could end the war and result in independence for the

Confederate States of America

Abraham Lincoln understood the significance of Lees

invasion of Pennsylvania and he appointed Union Major

General George G Meade to lead the United States

army with orders to prevent any attack on Washington

DC or Baltimore Maryland General Meade led his

army into northern Maryland while General Lee split his

army into different parts with missions leading to the

hoped-for capture of Harrisburg the capital of Pennsyl-

vania with other missions to follow However Lee did

not realize that Meades army was as close as it was until

June 28 Then he issued orders for the parts of his army

to regroup at Cashtown or Gettysburg

In the meantime some of Lees army was camped near

Gettysburg and some of Meades army was in Gettys-

burg They clashed briefly on June 30 and again in

much larger numbers on July 1 Both sides threw in rein-

forcements until the July 1 battle became a very large

battle very hard fought by both sides At the end of the

day the force of overwhelming numbers resulted in a

Confederate victory for that day The Union army re-

grouped on the hills and ridge south of Gettysburg in a

very strong position under the leadership of Major Gen-

eral and Brother Winfield Scott Hancock one of the

most widely admired generals of the Civil War

On July 2 General Lee attempted to defeat the Union

army by attacking both ends of it in another extremely

hard-fought day with thousands of casualties One of the

most significant events of that day was the defense of a

hill called Little Round Top by a Maine regiment com-

manded by Colonel (later Major General) and Brother

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain When his men ran out of

ammunition knowing that if he gave up his position the

entire battle might be lost he ordered a bayonet charge

that might have been suicidal Instead he won a highly-

praised victory plus a Medal of Honor and fame that

resulted in his being later be elected Governor of Maine

four times

The climax of the battle took place on July 3 After a

quiet morning in early afternoon General Lee ordered the

most massive cannon attack ever on the North American

continent Then he ordered about 12000 men to attack

the center of the Union position across about a mile of

open country Both the Southerners and Northerners gen-

erally showed great courage in facing each other realizing

that this might be the event that would decide the war and

the fate of our country Among the leaders of this event

known as Picketts Charge was Confederate Brigadier

General and Brother Lewis Addison Armistead The

leader of the Union force being attacked was the Union

Major General and Brother Winfield Scott Hancock

Armistead and Hancock were both career soldiers and

before the Civil War they were friends when both were

US Army officers in California Both were also Freema-

sons

When the Confederate attack reached the Union line at

Gettysburg there was fierce fighting General Armistead

was shot twice and as he went down he gave a Masonic

sign asking for assistance A fellow Mason a Union of-

ficer named Henry H Bingham then a Captain later a

higher officer and then a very influential Congressman

came to Armisteads assistance and offered to help Ar-

mistead reportedly asked to see and talk with his friend

General Hancock but he was told that Hancock had been

very badly wounded just a few minutes earlier Union

Brother Bingham then helped Confederate Brother Ar-





mistead off the field and to a hospital but Armistead died

two days later General Hancock to the surprise of

many recovered and resumed his command later in the

Civil War

This incident of a Freemason who was a Union officer

helping a Freemason who was a wounded Confederate

officer is one of the greatest examples of the ideals of

Freemasonry in action In 1993 the Grand Lodge of

Pennsylvania completed and dedicated a monument on

the Gettysburg National Cemetery with the cooperation

and support of the United States government that shows

Brother Bingham a Union officer assisting Brother Ar-

mistead This statue is extremely dramatic and it is

called the Masonic Friend to Friend Masonic Memo-

rial

In the words of Sheldon A Munn one of the Freemasons

who helped bring about the construction of this monu-

ment

The Friend to Friend Masonic Memorial at Gettysburg

will help demonstrate to the world that Freemasonry is

indeed a unique fraternity that its bonds of friendship

compassion and brotherly love withstood the ultimate

test during the most tragic and decisive period of our na-

tions history it stood then as it stands now as A Broth-

erhood Undivided

PART 3

Abraham Lincoln and Freemasonry

by Paul M Bessel

September 1994

Abraham Lincoln was not a Mason but he possessed and

displayed all the important qualities of Freemasonry faith

hope and charity belief in God the equality of all people

and the ability of each person to improve He came into con-

tact with many Masons and Freemasonry was a greater influ-

ence in society then than today

What then was his view of Masonry

and would he and Masonry have bene-

fited from his membership Why did he

not become a Mason How did Ma-

sonry affect his life and career

Lincolns Attitude Toward Freemasonry

--

How Lincoln and Freemasonry Would

Have Benefited from his Membership

The Grand Lodge of Illinois recessed

their meeting being held during the

1860 Presidential campaign to call on

Abraham Lincoln a candidate in that election and he is re-

ported to have said

Gentlemen I have always entertained a profound respect

for the Masonic fraternity and have long cherished a desire

to become a member

When a Mason told Lincoln in a conversation during that

campaign that all his opponents were Freemasons especially

noting that Stephen A Douglas was an early member of the

Masonic lodge in Springfield Lincolns home town and he

was not Lincoln replied

I am not a Freemason Dr Morris though I have great re-

spect for the institution

After Lincolns death the Grand Master of Masons in the

District of Columbia who had been a friend of Lincolns

wrote

He [Lincoln] once told me how highly he respected our Or-

der and that he at one time had fully made up his mind to

apply for admission into it

There are many reasons for Lincoln to have had a positive

view of Freemasonry A qualification to become a Mason is

a belief in a Supreme Being while leaving it to each one to

decide exactly what religious beliefs to hold and Masonic

ritual includes many references to the Bible and the concept

of spiritual rebirth Lincoln too had a fervent belief in God

and was an avid student of the Bible

He included Biblical references in many of his writings and

speeches the most famous being his second Inaugural ad-

dress and he regarded the entire subject of

religion as a matter of individual conscience

Lincoln could have been expected to have

been attracted to Freemasonrys attitude of

support for religion combined with strong sup-

port of freedom of religion and conscience for

all people Spiritual rebirth was one of the spe-

cial concepts alluded to in Lincolns Gettys-

burg address

One of the fundamental tenets of Masonry is

that it seeks to make good men better This

belief would have appealed to Abraham Lin-

coln who desired to see the best in people and

to see that each individual could advance in

life as much as possible

Likewise the Masonic support of equality and the brother-

hood of all people were also fundamental ideals with Lin-





coln Masonry examines the meaning of death and Lincoln

frequently meditated on this Freemasonry in the 1800s

even more than now focuses on philosophy -- what are the

long-term purposes and goals of our lives

Lincoln who talked of America as being the beacon of hope

for mankind and who said the goal of the Civil War was to

insure that free government would survive in the world

would have been interested in this Masonic tradition

There are more mundane reasons to think that Abraham Lin-

coln should have been a Mason Freemasonry and other fra-

ternal organizations are typical places for politicians for be-

come well known and seek support Lincoln was one of the

most ambitious politicians of his day and he could have

benefited from this connection Lincoln also had an active

law practice and Masons might have given him more busi-

ness if he had been a Mason

Another reason to think Lincoln should have wanted to be-

come a Mason is his desire for fellowship Lincoln enjoyed

the company of other men and strongly desired acceptance

from society He should have welcomed the opportunity to

be with men who are such close friends as to consider them-

selves Masonic brothers

He would have had the opportunity to share humorous sto-

ries discuss philosophical issues and exchange information

about their experiences Lincoln enjoyed politics in all its

senses and he would have likely risen to a prominent office

within Freemasonry

That would have satisfied his ambition in some way as well

as helping him achieve prominence in the community It

would have shown as Lincoln did in other ways that one

born without any likely prospects for success in life could

achieve much that even those who were more high born did

not

in New Salem Lincolns personal associations should also

have led him to seek to join the Masons Bowling Green was

a close friend of Lincoln and a prominent person Illinois

Lincolns first home town Green was a Master of the local

Masonic lodge and a member of the original Grand Lodge of

Illinois

Lincoln spent a lot of time with Green Mrs Green re-

quested that Lincoln speak at Judge Greens funeral which

included Masonic services in February 1842 and Spring-

field Lodge No 4 invited Lincoln to give a speech at a me-

morial service for Green in September Many of the impor-

tant men of Springfield with whom Lincoln was in contact

were Masons including Stephen A Douglas Ninian Ed-

wards and James Shields

The best man at Abraham Lincolns wedding to Mary

Todd was James Matheny a member of the Springfield

Masonic Lodge and a past Master of the Grand Lodge of

Illinois Lincolns closest neighbor James Gourley was

also a Mason as were other friends and business associ-

ates

Lincolns idol in politics was Henry Clay a US Senator

and Speaker of the US House of Representatives candi-

date for President several times and one of the most influ-

ential Americans of the first half of the 1800s Henry Clay

had been the Grand Master of Masons in Kentucky in 1820

-21 but in 1830-31 he said he had been inactive for many

years

This was during the height of the influence of the Antima-

sonic Party when Clay was seeking the Presidency but

still he refused to denounce Masonry and thus hurt his

chances to be elected Lincoln said Clay was his model in

politics so Lincoln could have been influenced by Clays

Masonic involvement and refusal to denounce it even that

would have helped him politically could be expected to

have possibly induced Lincoln to seek to join the Masons

For many reasons then one would think that Lincoln

should have wanted to become a Mason and that he would

have been welcomed He said he had a favorable attitude

toward Freemasonry his words and actions showed a de-

votion to ideals similar to those of Masonry the philoso-

phy of Masonry is similar to the beliefs Lincoln supported

membership in the Masons probably would have helped

Lincoln in his political and legal careers and would have

bolstered his desire to be accepted by others and to enjoy

friendly fellowship and Lincoln came into contact with

and admired many Masons

Why Didnt Lincoln Become a Mason

Speculation on the reasons Lincoln did not become a Ma-

son fall into several categories





Lincoln is reported to have told the members of the Grand

Lodge of Illinois during the 1860 campaign for US Presi-

dent that

I have never petitioned because I have felt my own unwor-

thiness to do so I might be overcoming my

hesitance and be petitioning at the present time but I am a

candidate for political office and by some such action would

be misconstrued For this reason because my motives would

be misconstrued I must for the present time refrain

After Lincolns death a friend of his who was a prominent

Mason said Lincoln had once told him the reason he did not

seek membership in Freemasonry was that I (Lincoln)

feared I was too lazy to do all my duty as I should wish to

were I a member and I have kept postponing my applica-

tion When the friend said it was not too late he said Lin-

coln laughingly replied Well perhaps some day I may ask

you to let me in

Mary Todd Lincoln when told by an Anti-Mason that he

would support her husband for President in 1860 if he did

not belong to a society with secrets (clearly indicating Ma-

sonry) replied Mr Lincoln has never been a Ma-

son or belonged to any secret order because he

was too busy with his business activities

Edwin M Stanton Lincolns Secretary of War was

an avid Freemason He wrote that he once elicited

Lincolns views of Masonry and Lincoln was non-

committal Perhaps Lincoln did not have strong feel-

ings either way joining the Masons Lincoln might

have avoided Masonry because of unfortunate but

interesting incidents with a couple of Masons

One is James Adams In May 1837 Lincoln took on

one of his first legal cases representing the widow and son

of Joseph Anderson in their effort to take possession of and

sell ten acres of land presumed to have been owned by him

at the time of his death

However James Adams Andersons former attorney and an

officer of the Springfield Masonic Lodge was found to be

in possession of the land basing his claim on a deed exe-

cuted to him by Anderson Lincoln felt the conveyance of

this land was spurious At the time of this lawsuit Adams

was running as a Democrat for probate justice of the peace

of Sangamon County against a Whig friend of Lincolns

During the campaign six letters were printed in the local

newspaper written by Lincoln and insinuating fraud by

Adams and a few days before the election Lincoln wrote

and distributed handbills in Springfield which stated ex-

plicitly that Adams obtained the Anderson land by fraud

Adams responded to these charges and Lincoln in turn

published replies

The affair was bitter and public Lincoln said Adams

spread rumors that Lincoln was a deist rumors that caused

Lincoln political harm in the future In the meantime Ad-

ams won the election and the contested land was still in

Adams estate when he died six years later James Adams

was a Master of the Springfield Lodge in 1839 and was

elected Deputy Grand Master of Masons in Illinois in

1840

Lincoln might not have wanted to join a lodge in which

Adams was a prominent member and Lincoln might not

have received unanimous approval to be accepted into the

Springfield Lodge after his 1837 run-ins with the promi-

nent Mason James Adams

A few years later Lincoln had prob-

lems with another Mason James

Shields He was an Irish immigrant

who settled in Illinois and became a

Mason in January 1841 following

Stephen A Douglas in the Junior War-

dens officer chair Shields was a De-

mocrat who became state auditor in

1841 Lincoln and the Whig party pro-

tested his policies and several satirical

letters appeared in the Springfield

newspaper questioning Shields hon-

esty and mocking his physical cour-

age

Shields was told that Lincoln had written these letters and

he challenged Lincoln to a duel All of Springfield read

Shields published challenge and there was great excite-

ment about the upcoming duel Lincoln attempted to end

the dispute with a partial explanation but said if a duel

was insisted on then he as the person challenged would

demand that both combatants be in an eight foot circle

holding the largest possible cavalry broadswords with nei-





ther allowed to passover a line in the center

These conditions were intended to mock the idea of this

duel especially since Lincoln was so much

taller than Shields but Shields persisted On September 22

1842 Lincoln Shields their seconds and others boated

across the Mississippi River to fight the duel in Missouri

where dueling was still legal Fortunately friends intervened

to get Shields to accept Lincolns explanation and the duel

was called off but Lincoln was mortified by the episode

Shields and Lincolns letters and all the details were publi-

cized and the dueling business and spirit raged in Spring-

field afterwards We can rightly suppose that Shields Ma-

sonic brothers knew all about this affair and possibly as-

sisted him

It is worth noting that one of the letters which so angered

Shields was published in the Springfield newspaper on Sep-

tember 2 1842 the next day Lincoln delivered a speech at

the Masonic memorial service for his late friend Bowling

Green (at the invitation probably made in July before the

anti-Shields letters were published of the Springfield

Lodge) a letter that was even more insulting to Shields was

printed in the newspaper on September 9 and the parties met

and almost fought the duel on September 22 It is likely that

there was a good deal of tension between Lincoln and

Shields Lodge brothers during this time

Lincoln had been in a highly public feud with one of the

leading members of the lodge This might have made him

reluctant to join the Masonic lodge to which Shields and his

friends belonged and they might have rejected him if he had

petitioned This episode plus the one involving James Ad-

ams might have left Lincoln with negative feelings about

Masons in general

Another possible reason for Lincolns not becoming a Mason

may have been political In the 1830s there was a very

strong anti-Masonic feeling and even an Anti-Masonic party

that elected some of its members to state and federal posi-

tions Some politicians gained favor and office by attacking

Masonry many lodges lost members and folded Becoming

a Mason could harm political careers and even some former

Masons took on anti-Masonic attitudes in their speeches

Lincoln might have decided to avoid the opposition of anti-

Masons by not joining the fraternity

Lincoln may have decided not to seek to join the Masons

because he thought that would be misconstrued as an at-

tempt to obtain political support from other Masons or he

may have truly felt himself unworthy or too lazy to prop-

erly perform his Masonic duties if he joined or he may

have been too busy with his regular business activities or

he may have had poor views of Masons because of his

prominent feuds with two of them or he may have felt that

those feuds would lead to his rejection if he tried to join or

he may have felt that anti-Masons would not support his

political ambitions if he became a Mason or he may have

just been indifferent toward Masonry

Perhaps the real reason was some combination Certainly

Freemasonry lost the opportunity to include among its

members someone who would have fit very well into the

Masonic philosophy and who could have assisted Freema-

sonry if he had so chosen Perhaps Lincoln also lost some-

thing by not becoming a member of the Freemasons the

opportunity to join with others in an organization seeking

many of the same basic goals that motivated Abraham Lin-

coln throughout his life

How Did Masonry Affect Lincoln

It is not possible to know if or how Abraham Lincoln was

affected directly or indirectly by Masonry Some guesses

are reasonable though

Freemasonry was especially strong in the 1700s and its

philosophy and goals had a strong influence on the found-

ing fathers of the United States many of whom such as

George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were active

enthusiastic and prominent Masons who applied their Ma-

sonic ideals in their work The Declaration of Independ-

ence in 1776 stated a fundamental position that was devel-

oped in Masonry earlier in the 1700s

We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are

created equal that they are endowed by their

Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these

are Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Lincoln in 1861 said

I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring

from the sentiments embodied in the declaration of Inde-

pendenceI have often inquired of myself what great prin-





ciple or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long to-

gether It was that sentiment in the Declaration of Inde-

pendence which gave liberty not alone to the people of this

country but hope to the world for all future time It was that

which gave promise that in due time the weights should be

lifted from the shoulders of all men and that all should have

an equal chance

This is the guiding spirit of the Masonic philosophy then

and now and it became a part of the Declaration of Inde-

pendence that in turn affected Lincoln so fundamentally

Lincolns middle position between Masonry and Anti-

Masonry may have helped him gain the Republican nomina-

tion for President in 1860 All his major opponents William

H Seward of New York Salmon P Chase of Ohio and Ed-

ward Bates of Missouri had anti-Masonic histories Masons

and there were definitely some at the nominating conven-

tion would have been more inclined toward Lincoln than the

others

Except for Lincoln all the candidates for President in 1860

were Masons Stephen A Douglas John C Breckenridge

and John Bell The President then James Buchanan and

other prominent political leaders were also Masons

The list of prominent people connected with the Civil War

and politics in that era who were Masons is very long in-

cluding

Winfield Scott George B McClellan Robert Anderson

Winfield Scott Hancock Benjamin F Butler Simon Cam-

eron Lewis Cass John J Crittenden Andrew G Curtin

David G Farragut Nathaniel PBanks John A McClernand

Thomas H Benton John A Logan Sam Houston Stephen

A Hurlbut Andrew Johnson Edwin M Stanton Gideon

Welles Albert Sidney Johnston PGT Beauregard Howell

Cobb John B Floyd Albert Pike Sterling Price Robert

Toombs Godfrey Weitzel Henry A Wise

It is possible that Lincoln saw some of the spirit of brotherly

friendship among these Masons and that their practice of

Masonic ideals had some affect on him

It is well known that Lincoln demonstrated magnanimity

even toward his enemies asking in his second Inaugural ad-

dress for malice toward none and charity for all and desir-

ing an easy peace and for the leaders of the Confederate gov-

ernment to be allowed to escape rather than being arrested

and condemned and his visits and friendly comments to

Confederate wounded Lincoln searched for reasons to re-

verse the decisions of court-martials calling for executions

Freemasonry also played a role in alleviating the harsh-

ness of the Civil War and this probably came to Lincolns

attention and may have affected his own attitudes to some

extent Masons from both sides got together to exchange

information assist wounded from the other side and ar-

range for Masonic burial services for fallen enemies

Some soldiers even escaped death because of their Ma-

sonic affiliation

Lincoln and his colleagues who were Freemasons demon-

strated charity toward others even while engaging in all-

out combat to accomplish goals they felt were worth

fighting for -- to maintain democratic government and to

prove that people could govern themselves

Abraham Lincoln was never a Mason but it is likely that

Masonry had some positive influences on him and he on

Freemasonry His political philosophy was affected by

Masonic ideals through the Masonic influence on the

Declaration of Independence and the United States Con-

stitution His spirit of charity during the Civil War was

probably affected to some extent by hearing how Masons

in the war helped each other while maintaining their ide-

als

Lincoln was probably helped in his political and personal

life by Masons Without overreaching Masons and all

who study Lincoln can rightly take some satisfaction from

the involvement of Abraham Lincoln a non-Mason and

Freemasonry
