Commander-in-Chief’s Message
Dear Brethren,
A very busy but invigorating New Hampshire Scottish Rite Fall 2013 season
has now come to a close. As your Commander-in-Chief, I have done my
very best to spread awareness of New Hampshire Consistory, both within
our Rite, and throughout the appendant bodies.
Here’s a brief summary of my recent activities:








Attended the Order of Rainbow for Girls, Grand Assembly
Presented at the New Hampshire Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star
Spoke at the Rainbow Grand Officers Reception
Masonic Restoration Foundation Symposium event sponsor
Sponsored the purchase of polo shirts for New Hampshire DeMolay Conclave
Hosted Honorary and Active Members of Supreme Council and their guests in Washington, DC
Attended the annual DeMolay Chevalier ceremony
Attended Degrees in the Valleys of Concord, Nashua and Portsmouth-Dover
In August 2013 the annual Supreme Council Session was held in Washington, DC. My wife Tammy and I hosted
New Hampshire based Honorary and Active Members of Supreme Council and their guests. We also welcomed
Illustrious brothers Becker, Larson, Lobdell and Porter along with their wives as these distinguished brethren
were coroneted as Honorary Members of Supreme Council, 33 °. This was a highly enjoyable event, and truth be
told, all credit goes to Tammy for her tremendous organizational and catering skills.
Our Fall 2013 season culminated with our Reunion held on Saturday, November 2, 2013 at Merrimack Valley
High School in Penacook, NH. Seventeen candidates witnessed the exemplification of the 25°, and sixteen
received the 31° and 32° Degrees. On behalf of the candidates, dignitaries, guests and myself, I extend a sincere
thanks to the cast, stage crew, lighting team, musician, costume, makeup, directors, secretaries and everyone
associated with this wonderful day.
Now it is time to look to the future. Planning for the Spring 2014 Reunion has already begun. But in the
meantime, let us cherish our time in our great Fraternity. I wish you and your families a very safe and Happy
Holiday season and thank you for your continued support to New Hampshire Consistory.
Fraternally,
Ken Clay
Kenneth A. Clay, Jr., 33°
Commander-in-Chief
“Whuddaya Mean, I’m A Member of Nashua?”
Why am I getting information from Nashua? I’m a member of the Valley of (pick one) Concord,
Keene, Lancaster-Littleton, Portsmouth-Dover. That’s a question the office is continually asked.
As a 32° Scottish Rite Mason, you are a member of the Valley of Nashua. Why?
First, let’s review how Scottish Rite is organized.
In the U.S. there are two Supreme Councils, the governing bodies for Scottish Rite. You are
part of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction which is headquartered in Lexington, MA. There are
fifteen states that make up the Jurisdiction.
States are governed by a Council of Deliberation. Within the state, there are regional groups
called Valleys.
►Continued on Page 3
Volume 3, Issue 4
Page 3
I Belong to Nashua, Too?
Continu ed f rom Page 2
Your Home Valley is the Valley that has your Lodge of Perfection. That’s important because, in
addition to the dues, your Home Valley’s Lodge of Perfection collects your assessment for Supreme
Council. That means even if you decided to belong to all five Lodges of Perfection in the state, you
only pay the assessment to Supreme Council once, through your Home Valley.
Now to your membership. With the “Bookend Concept” of Scottish Rite, any member who has witnessed the 4° is a Scottish Rite Mason. After seeing three more degrees that have one of our Core
Values, he may see the 32°, when he becomes a Thirty-second Degree Scottish Rite Mason. That
means that when you’ve seen the 4°, you’ve joined the Lodge of Perfection, responsible for the 4°14°; the Council of Princes of Jerusalem for the 15°-16°; the Chapter of Rose Croix, covering the
17° and 18°; and the Consistory, for the 19°-32°. If your Home Valley doesn’t have a Chapter or a
Consistory, you join one in a nearby Valley.
We have only one Consistory in the state of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Consistory, which is
chartered in the Valley of Nashua. So if you are a member of any New Hampshire Valley, you are
also a member of the Valley of Nashua for New Hampshire Consistory as either a Scottish Rite
Mason, or as a 32° Scottish Rite Mason.
Core Values Subject of November Valley Stated
At the Valley’s Nov 19 Stated Business Meeting, Thrice Potent Master, John W. Jackson,
paused the usual agenda, for the members to see the new screen version of the 6°, Master of
the Brazen Serpent.
Even members who aren’t convinced about the use of a video format for our degrees commented, “How do you think they did that?” to a special effect, and, “Wow, no prompting.”
Following the presentation, a discussion took place about our degrees, the Core Values within
them, and the need to explain to our cast members, our current members, and our candidates,
what they are and how they are relevant in our daily lives.
One member said he got more out of the discussion, than he had being an actively involved
member of the degrees.
Ill Robert G. Bianchi, 33° Deputy’s Representative for the Valley of Nashua, said that going
forward, discussions with members and candidates will be an important part of our degree work
and our Reunions.
CORE VALUES
At its 2010 Annual Session, the
Supreme Council adopted, as the
Core Values of the Ancient Accepted
Scottish Rite, N. M. J.:






Reverence for God
Integrity
Devotion to Country
Justice
Tolerance
Service to Humanity
Support Your Blue Lodges
They’re why we exist!

Scholarships Open to Members, Children, and Grandchildren
2014 marks the third year of the William E. Bryant Scholarship Program. Named for the late
Commander-in-Chief of New Hampshire Consistory, the scholarships may be awarded to Scottish
Rite Masons, their children or grandchildren, and to Masonic youth.
To be eligible for a Bryant Scholarship, an applicant must meet the following requirements:



Supreme Council &
NH Consistory’s
Scholarship Process
Starts January 1

Children’s Dyslexia Centers Creating Brighter Futures
Dyslexia affects one out of every five people, but until Scottish Rite Masons took action, no other
national charity had addressed the issue and its cost to individuals and society in a systematic way.

Dyslexia is an inherited neurological disorder that affects the way people learn to read and speak as
well as how they process things mathematically. Famous dyslexics include Thomas Edison, Winston
Churchill, Leonardo DaVinci, Walt Disney, Tom Cruise and Whoopi Goldberg. It affects boy and
girls equally. Children left with untreated dyslexia often suffer devastating personal consequences.
It is the number one reason teenagers drop out of school, and is a primary factor in juvenile
delinquency. Research reveals that children with untreated dyslexia can become underachieving
adults unable to contribute to society at their fullest capacity.
Dyslexia is, however, a treatable condition. Working with the world-renowned Massachusetts
General Hospital, the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of Scottish Rite saw the critical need and
launched the Children's Dyslexia Centers, providing tutoring at no charge to children from early
elementary through high school who have been diagnosed as dyslexic.
The goal of our Centers are:



To help children with dyslexia learn to read and to reach their full potential;
To help their families end the frustration, guilt and disruption caused by dyslexia;
To help communities by developing Children’s Dyslexia Centers to help youngsters
succeed in and out of school.
Since 1994, over 50 Dyslexia Centers have opened in 13 states. New Hampshire has two centers,
located in Nashua and Rochester. The Centers not only help children with dyslexia, but also train
tutors in the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching, so they become certified to teach children in the
school systems. The Centers also provide research information, to continually improve their
methods.
How can you help? Donate your time or your money to a Children’s Dyslexia Center Walk or Golf
Tournament; become a Center Volunteer; or donate through the Supreme Council’s Blue Envelope

Valley of Nashua—Scottish Rite News
Two Recognized With Most Seniority
In the Fall issue of the Scottish Rite News, Brother John Stephen Gikas was noted for his 70
years in Scottish Rite. Brother Gikas has the most longevity of any member of all four bodies in the
Valley of Nashua. Brother Gikas, a member of Washington Lodge #61 in Manchester, received his
degrees in April of 1944.
Brother Nelson K Ward, though, has the record. While his Home Valley is Portsmouth-Dover,
Brother Ward joined New Hampshire Consistory in the Valley of Nashua in April of 1943; 71 years
ago. Brother Ward is a member of St. John’s Lodge #1 in Portsmouth.
Congratulations on 65 Years in Scottish Rite
The Valley of Nashua is proud to congratulate Illustrious Brother Davis P. Thurber, 33° for his
attaining 65 years of membership in the Scottish Rite. His Scottish Rite degrees were conferred in
April of 1949.
Ill Brother Thurber is a member of Rising Sun Lodge #39 in Nashua, and received the Thirty-third
degree on September 27, 1972.
Happy Birthday, Brothers!

Toasting an Historic Pitcher
Hilary Anderson Stelling, Scottish Rite Masonic Museum and Library
In past centuries, American Masons socialized, celebrated and toasted
together—all activities that called for drinking punch, wine and other
festive beverages. Brethren used pitchers, like this one, and other
vessels to share libations in a convivial setting. One lodge historian
noted that in the early 1800s, members of Saint Paul Lodge in Groton,
Massachusetts, made a “… drink to the health of every candidate who
was initiated, crafted or raised.” Lodge inventories taken around the
same time show that many lodges were well-prepared to offer hospitality. One Bostonarea lodge numbered three two-quart pitchers and six pint pitchers as well as a dozen
punch glasses and sixty-three wine glasses among its possessions—ample supplies for
a lodge of about thirty members.
English ceramics manufacturers, working in Staffordshire, Liverpool, Sunderland and
other locations, crafted a dazzling variety of transfer-printed earthenware pitchers for the
domestic and American markets. Among the thousands of vessels they produced and
ornamented, they decorated many with images calculated to appeal to Freemasons, be
they beautifying their lodges or their own homes. This pitcher, made around 1800 and
colored with a bright, canary yellow glaze, featured two transfer-printed images that
were likely interesting to Masonic consumers. On one side, makers ornamented the
pitcher with figures representing a lodge Master and lodge Wardens, along with a selection of Masonic symbols and a variation of the arms of the Moderns surround by a fanciful border of flowers, elaborate curves and flowing ribbons. Beneath the figures and
symbols, are lines from “The Entered Apprentice’s Song” by Matthew Birkhead (d. ca.
1723): "The World is in pain the secret to gain for a Free and Accepted Mason” that
reminded brethren of their obligation.

accomplishment of a prominent Mason. This transfer print showed a bridge, noted
as “…the Iron Bridge Over Wear near Sunderland,” also known as the Wearmouth
Bridge or the Sunderland Bridge. This all cast-iron bridge spanned, according to the
notation on the pitcher, 236 feet and reached 100 feet in height. It linked two communities that had previously only been connected by ferry. When builders finished
the bridge in 1796, it was the world’s largest single-span cast iron bridge.
With an unimpeded arch-shaped span, the bridge allowed tall masted ocean-going
ships to travel freely on the river. These ships carried coal, an economically important product in the area, to London and other areas by sea. Local landowner,

sonic ceremonies marking both the laying of the foundation stone of the bridge in
1793 and the opening of the bridge in 1796. The latter celebration took place before,
what one newspaper of the time described as “an immense concourse of people (computed at 50,000 persons).”
Typically the artists who created transfer prints for ceramics manufacturers used published sources such as book illustrations and membership
certificates as their inspiration. As a well-publicized engineering marvel and a source of regional pride, the Iron Bridge both captured the public’s
and many artists’ imaginations. Scholars have estimated that over twenty different illustrations of the bridge can be found on different ceramic
forms produced in the early 1800s. The engraver who created this image seems to have signed his work with his initials, E. A. As yet, research
has not identified this maker.
Like all fashions, the vogue for transfer-printed pitcher for use in the lodge or at home, eventually faded. Not only did consumers seek new forms
and novel kinds of decoration, but lodge sociability changed. By the early 1820s, many lodges decided to stop serving alcohol in deference to the
emerging temperance movement. Many lodges’ once-prized transfer-print pitchers also fell victim to loss or damage during lodge closures in the
anti-Masonic era from 1825-1840. Luckily, many of these intriguing pitchers escaped the scrap heap and, eventually, regained status as valued
possessed in lodges and museum collections throughout the country. If you or your lodge have questions about a historic pitcher, please feel free
to get in touch with the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum and Library at www.monh.org, and we will be happy to tell you more about your lodge’s
treasures.
