REETINGS FROM THE EAST
Brethren, first off, let me thank each of
you that attended the Grand Masters Dinner in Palatka last month. The 13th masonic District had an incredible turnout and it was duly noted by Grand
Lodge. I am excited that Pineland
Lodge will be traveling to see us for
our first stated communication. We
are going to be issuing out parking
passes from October 1st till the end
of the year, and you shall get with
Oscar Patterson or Worshipful Jim
Davis for issuance. Your first pass is
free any additional will be a dollar
each. Please take only what you will need,
and we will be keeping a log book. As my
year in the East is winding down, I am
allowing the other elected and appointed
officers to advance their duties and responsibilities for a proper pass down and
smoother transition. That being said, Election nominations are due no later than the
1st meeting in December. If you plan on
nominating someone, please ask them if
they have already been nominated first, as
multiple nominations are not necessary.
The Nominations Committee will be Worshipful Jim Davis, Br. Oscar Patterson,
and Myself. This new change has been
covered in Lodge and will be covered
again before December. I also want to
again congratulate Br. Oscar Patterson for
his achievement of 13th Masonic
District Mason of the Year. He exemplifies the Craft and I am honored to be in the East every time I
look South and see his face looking
back at me. During the 450th our
Parking lot raised over $2400.00for
our Masonic Youth Organizations,
and Child I.D. Program. Thank you
Worshipful Chauncey for stewarding that evolution, and Worshipful
Jim for keeping the rest of the V.I.Ps out
of trouble (as usual). The Outdoor Degree
has been postponed till January, but expect
a Family Night for November. In closing, I
hope you all are enjoying the new Lodge
appearance inside and out, and I am not
taking any breaks from continuing further
progress…until next year.

COMMITTEE

ROM THE CHAPLAIN...
My Brothers,
In our E.A. degree we were exposed to that theological ladder which JACOB, in his vision, saw extending from earth to
heaven; the three principal rounds of which are denominated
FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY. We were taught that the
greatest of these is charity because charity extends beyond the
grave, through the boundless realms of eternity.

Charity is the brightest gem that can adorn our Masonic profession. Happy is the man who has sowed in his breast the
seeds of benevolence, the produce thereof is love and peace:
he does not envy his neighbor; he does not listen to gossip,
when reported by slander; revenge or malice has no place in
his breast; he forgives the injuries of men, and endeavors to
blot them from his recollection. The objects of true charity
among Masons are, merit and virtue in distress; persons who
are incapable of extracting themselves from misfortunes in
their journey through life; industrious men, who, from inevitable accidents and acts of Providence, have fallen into ruin;
widows, who are left survivors of their husbands, by whose
labors they subsisted; orphans in tender years, left naked to
the world; and the aged, whose spirits are exhausted, whose
arms are rendered unable to procure for themselves the sustenance that they could in their youthful days. This is Charity,
the Keystone to our mystic fabric.
