PRESENTATIONS
Prior to the opening of Grand Lodge, M:W: Brother James M. Walley,
P.G.M., G.T., presented the Collingwood Travel Gavel to be used by M:W:
Lewis J. Faciane, Grand Master, in opening the Grand Lodge in its 177th
Annual Communication, and to be used in the closing by the newly elected
Grand Master.
The Collingwood Travel Gavel was made possible by the National
Sojourners, Inc., an organization of Master Masons who are or had been
commissioned or warrant officers in one of the U.S. Armed Forces.
The Collingwood Travel Gavel is made of wood from the historic chestnut
oak that grew on the grounds of Collingwood on the Potomac, a part of
what was once George Washington's River Farm. That great oak has
spanned the years from the 1770s/1780s to this date. The National Park
Service, in a letter dated September 18, 1981, has advised: "It is the
opinion of the park staff that a reasonable age estimate for this tree is in
excess of 200 years and may range from 206 to 212 years". This could date
it as early as 1769.
M:W: Brother Lewis J. Faciane, Grand Master, called the following to be
presented West of the Altar;
Elven E. Ponder, P.M., Robert L Kleinpeter, P.G.M., Malcolm A. Ballard,
G.P., Irving I. Berglass, P.M., Leslie F. Tanner, Jr., P.M., Leon L Stockwell,
P. M. (not present) and John E. Beaumont, III, P. M. (not present). The Grand
Master presented each with certificates of appreciation for outstanding
work for Freemasonry. Brother George Walker received the award for
Brother Stockwell.
Grand Master Faciane then introduced his family, and thanked them for
coming to Grand Lodge.
NECROLOGY
M:W: Brother N. Harris McClamroch, P.G.M. conducted the Necrology
Service.
He stated that this time was set aside by this Grand Lodge for many
years to hold a memorial service for the Masons of our jurisdiction who
have departed. Brother Eugene R. Musgrave, gave the text from Psalm
103, and gave a prayer. Brother Mike Mooney sang the song "How Great
Thou Art". Brother Larry Kennedy, P.M., gave the memorial for M:W:
Brother L.V. Noles, P.G.M. M:W: Brother David S. Hartman, P.G.M. gave
the memorial for M:W: Brother Robert Floyd Kennon, P.G.M. The 19
D.D.G.M.'s each presented a red rose on the altar in memory of the
departed brethren. Prayer was given, and taps was played by Brother Russ
Delaune.
The following necrology report was delivered by M.W: Brother N. Harris
McClamroch, Jr.

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Most Worshipful Sirs, Right Worshipful
Sirs, Distinguised Guests, Ladies, Families, and Friends:
Having opened our Grand Lodge meeting and having received important groups and individuals we are about to begin the important business
for which we have assembled. But, before doing so we have set aside this
beginning time, in accordance with the custom of this Grand Lodge for
many years, to hold a memorial service for the masons of our Grand Jurisdiction who have departed our midst in this masonic year and to specifically remember again those dear ones out of sight but never out of mind
who have added so much to our lives and to the history of our Fraternity.
Freemasonry is not merely the oldest and largest and most unique organization on earth, but it is the most universal and inclusive, counting not only
member brethren throughout the globe at present, but that long list of
builders and craftsmen who having left our immediate presence are still
much with us in spirit and example, already members of that universal
celestial Grand Lodge which we are all continuing our earthly pilgrimage.
It is the wish of ourGrandMasterthatwe again observe this in memoriam
which like all of masonry and life is at best an inadequate symbol of the
deep love and attachment that will always bind brother masons with
immortal ties too strong to break and tears too expressive for words.
Our text from the great light is Psalm 103.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all
your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems you from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good
as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.
The Lord works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed. He
made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the people of Israel. The Lord
is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide, nor will He keep His anger forever. He does not
deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our
iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth so great is His
steadfast love toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the
west so far does He remove our transgressions from us. As a father pities
his children so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame,
He remembers that we are dust. As for man His days are like grass, He
flourishes like a flower of the field; forthe wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the Lord is from
everlasting to everlasting upon those whofear Him, and His righteousness
to children's children to those who keep His covenant and remember to do
His commandments. The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,
and His kingdom rules overall. Bless the Lord Oyou His angels, you mighty
ones who do His word, hearkening to the voice of His word. Bless the Lord
all his hosts, His ministers that do His will. Bless the Lord all His works, in all
places of His Dominion. Bless the Lord, O My Soul!
12
Dear Friends, the most beautiful fact in masonry is that it fully relies on
divine intervention in important and meaningful times of our living of these
days. Let us therefore look to the throne of grace again for our praise to
Him and instruction and power to follow Him.
(RAPS 3)
O thou from whom all blessing flow and to whom all hearts with
reverence humbly bow, we praise and adore Thy holy name for the great
gift of life in Thy presence, for family, friends, for brotherhood, for the
cement of love that unites all into one common mass, for Thy providential
care, for Thy forbearance of ourfailures, for good and wholesome work and
leisure, for masonic light and knowledge, for inspiration and grace to see
Thy mighty works, and for the sure promise of immortality to Thy children.
This morning our souls unite in prayer for those whom we have loved
deeply and lost for a season, for their dear families, and for their aggrieved
friends. May Thy peace and comfort be upon them during this difficult time
of adjustment. Reassure them of your marvelous, untiring love that never
lets us go.
Lastly, our Father, we thank Thee that death is merely a short part of life
and thoroughly under your control, that we celebrate today the lives of
those who now triumphantly reign with Thee, and we celebrate and rejoice
in our lives, and the lives of each other. On this day we celebrate again the
victorious homegoing of our brethren, of their release from pain, and of
their completion of that earthly tabernacle and their daily labors, and now
their glorious entry into the celestial holy of holies prepared for Thy faithful
followers from the foundation of the world. In all of these things we
celebrate the glory and greatness and wonder of our heavenly Father to
whom be now and evermore all praise and glory, to the honor and
perfection of Thy holy name. Amen.
(Song By Mike Rooney)
This year like others has seen the passing of hundreds of masons from
our ranks. Many have distinguished themselves as leaders in masonry, in
business, in community life, in charities, and in religion. All have proudly
worn the square and compasses in honor to the fraternity and themselves.
Lives have been enriched and enlightened by theirdedicated lives. Hearts
have been touched, examples set, and history written. Each life was
precious to us and we will never let it go.
All were great in their own way, contributing to the continuing life we
represent here today. Collectively and individually all are entitled to our
praise and eternal gratitude. The Grand Lodge family suffered the loss of
two mighty among us. Most Worshipful Bro. L.V. Noles, Past Grand Master
who literally gave his life to masonry, education, his religion, and his
friends, and Most Worshipful Bro. Gov. Robert Kennon, Former Louisiana
Governor and devoted Mason. In addition to the brothers who passed
away this year we remember and honor those of past years, on
whose foundation we still build. And we remember and honor Masons of
13
other jurisdictions and nations with whom we share so much so deeply. In
this time of memorial we feel the presence of the unseen who like electricity, gravity, and sound are all around us and part of us. We realize that
such things as love, prayer, character, honor, and truth are the really
permanent things and that oceans, mountains, and dynasties are impermanent and will pass away and become unreal. Blessed in the sight of
the Lord are the death of His saints, who having been created, sustained,
and saved are loved and justified forever.
That not a worm is cloven in twain
or but subserves anothers gain
that not one life shall be destroyed
or cast as rubbish to the void
till God hath made the pile complete.
No, brethren and friends, God has not put immortality into our hearts to
mock us. It is written: eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, thethings which God hath prepared forthem
that love Him.
Worshipful Bro. Larry Kennedy will now present the special memorial to
Most Worshipful Bro. L.V. Noles. (Followed by rose presentation). Most
Worshipful Bro. Dave Hartman will present a special memorial to Most
Worshipful Bro. Governor Robert Kennon -- Let us arise and humbly
approach the divine throne of grace.
O thou without whose knowledge not a sparrow falls, look kindly upon
those who honor Thee as the Lord of life and master of death. Our times
and lives are in Thy hands, who faileth not and lieth not. We pray that this
simple memorial servicewill not be wordsalone but will be usefultoTheein
building Thy kingdom; that Thy name herewith will be hallowed, Thy holy
will be done, and Thy precious kingdom come, now and forever, in us and
through us, or yet despite us, fully, finally, and perfectly till the earth will be
filled with Thy glory as the waters cover the sea, and all flesh and Thy holy
angels will shout aloud the truth: For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah. Amen.

IN MEMORIAM
L.V. Noles, P.G.M.
1910-1987
In the early morning hours of November 1, 1987, The Supreme Grand
Master called another dedicated Mason to be with Him in Heaven.
Masonic Graveside Rites were held for M:W: Brother LV. Noles on
November 3, 1987 at Providence Cemetery in Ringgold. His Love for
Masonry and his fellowman was evident by the number of Masons from
throughout the State who came to pay their respects.
L.V. Noles was born in Ringgold, Louisiana on August 14,1910, the son
of Doctor and Mrs. John Grey Noles. He grew up in this Bienville Parish
Community and attended public school in Ringgold. He gained the respect
of his classmates and demonstrated his leadership abilities. He graduated
from Ringgold High School in 1930, having been elected as President of
the Senior Class. Brother Noles continued his education by attending
Louisiana Tech in Ruston, Louisiana. He received a B.S. Degree in 1934
and received a gold watch for outstanding service to the College.
Brother Noles' love for the Lord and his dedication to his church was
demonstrated by his daily actions. He was baptized in 1921, becoming a
memberofthe First Baptist Church in Ringgold. Among the many positions
of service, he served as Sunday School Superintendent and was active on
the Deacon Body until his death.
Brother Noles began his career in Public Education in 1934 immediately
after graduating from La. Tech. He began as a Teacher at Ringgold High
School and then became principal in 1938 and remained in that position
for thirty years. In 1968, he became Senior Counselor for the Louisiana
Department of Education Rehabilitation in which capacity he remained
until he retired in 1974. Brother Noles touched many lives in his forty years
in public education. Many times over the years, when one of his former
students would become a Mason, he would proudly introduce and refer to
them as "one of his boys".
Brother Noles married Miss Gertrude Singleton, daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. R.W. Singleton, on November 20, 1940.
Brother Noles was a charter member of the Ringgold Kiwanis Club,
organized in 1951. The following year, he was named "Man of the Year"
and was presented a plaque at the first charter night banquet.
Brother Noles had served on the Board of Directors of the Bank of
Ringgold since January 7, 1952.
Brother Noles was initated, passed and raised in Mackey Lodge No. 122
on September 5, September 17 and October 8,1935 respectively. During
his fifty-two years in Masonry, he served in every office of Mackey Lodge.
He was Worshipful Master in 1943 and 1944 and was Treasurer from 1978
until his death. He held a Gold Certificate of Proficiency for over 20 years.
15
Brother Noles served Masonry well and was elected Grand Master in
1963. He began attending Grand Lodge shortly after being raised to the
degree of Master Mason and only missed one Grand Lodge Session due to
illness. Southern Hills Lodge No. 464 was organized the year he was
Grand Master and he became a member of the Lodge when it was chartered the following year. Brother Noles served on the Appeals and Grievances Committee since before becoming Grand Master, and was until his
death, Chairman of the Committee. He was a member of the Board of
Directors of the Masonic Educational Foundation, Inc.
Brother Noles was a member and Past Patron of Ringgold Chapter No.
131, O.E.S. He and Gertrude were initiated on the same night 49 years
ago, neither one knowing the other was to be initiated that night.
Brother Noles was a member and Past High Priest of Ringgold Chapter
No. 8 1 , R.A.M., Shreveport Council No. 23, R. & S.M., Crusader Commandery No. 21, Knights Templar. He received the degrees in the Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite from the Fourth through the Thirty-Second
Degree in Shreveport Consistory in 1957, and was invested with the rank
and decoration of Knight Commander of the Court of Honor in 1963 and
coroneted a Thirty-Third Degree Honorary in 1975. He was a member of El
Karubah Shrine in Shreveport and Red Cross of Constantine in Monroe.
We mourn the passing of Brother Noles, but rejoice in knowing that he is
in the presence of the Supreme Grand Master of the Universe. We will be
separated from our friend, but for a short while, at which time we will be
together again for eternity. We thank God for the Life of this servant, his
love for God, his Family, Masonry and his fellowmen. We have these and
many more pleasant memories that will always be with us.
ROBERT FLOYD KENNON
Grand Master 1936
We of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana want to honor our distinguished
Past Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Robert Floyd Kennon. He
was born August 21, 1902 in Dubberly near Minden, in Webster Parish,
Louisiana and died on Monday, January the 11,1988 in Baton Rouge.
After graduating from Minden High School, he entered Louisiana State
University, from which institution he first graduated with a B.A. Degree in
1923, and finished the University Law School in 1925. While in the
University, he received the Alumni Award for the best scholastic record in
the institution. He was interested in college athletics for he was a tennis
champion and earned a Varsity letter in football.
In 1923 he was commissioned in the Reserve Corps of the United States
Army, and in 1925 was made Captain of the Louisiana National Guard
Company at Minden.
Brother Kennon began the practice of law in his home city and during his
first year out of Law School was chosen Mayor of the City of Minden at the
16
age of twenty three. In 1930 he was elected District Attorney for the
Webster Bossier District and in 1936 he was nominated for a second term
without opposition.
In 1931 he married Eugenia Sentell who survives him along with their
three sons, Robert F. Kennon, Jr. and Dr. Charles S. Kennon, both of Baton
Rouge and Kenneth Wood Kennon of St. Francisville. He is survived also
by a brother George in Monroe and by five grandchildren.
Former Governor Kennon led Louisiana from 1952 to 1956 and was a
north Louisiana resident when elected. He stayed in Baton Rouge to
practice law after his term as Governor ended. His accomplishments in
State Government were many. He was often called "Judge" and preferred
it in later life because, he said, it was Jess cumbersome then "Governor".
He was elected to a twelve year term on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal in
1940, but did not begin his term until 1945 after he returned from military
service in World War II.
He was federalized as a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of
artillery with the Louisiana National Guard in 1941 and was a colonel,
general staff corps, U.S. Army Reserve, at the end of the war. He served in
the 9th Army in England, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
After being discharged, he returned to the bench in June of 1945. Four
months later, the State Supreme Court selected him to fill the unexpired
term of Justice Archie T. Higgins. He served there until January 1947,
when he returned to the appellate court.
Though still young, Brother Kennon "travelled" extensively as a Mason
and had manifested proficiency in the work. He was made an Entered
Apprentice Mason while yet a student in the University in 1923. In 1929 he
was made the Master of Minden Lodge and again in 1931. Brother Kennon
has been High Priest of his Chapter, Illustrious Master of his Council and
Commander of Crusader Commandery No. 21. Brother Kennon received
the distinct honor from his brethren by being elected Grand Master in
1936. He received the honor of the 33rd Degree in 1963.
Let me close with this poem, author unknown.
WHEN THE CURTAIN FALLS
When through our tears of sorrow
We see a curtain fall
And know a dearly loved one
Has gone beyond our call
We must have faith and confidence
In God and in his way
For He will raise the curtain
On a fairer scene someday.

Address of Grand Master
To the Officers and Members of The Most Worshipful Grand L odge Of The State Of
Louisiana, Free and Accepted Masons.
It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to Baton Rouge for the One Hundred and
Seventy-Seventh Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge.
I want to welcome our out-of-state guests. We hope you enjoy our Louisiana
hospitality. Anything we can do to make your stay here more pleasurable, please
let us know.
To serve as Grand Master has been most exciting and rewarding. Thank you, my
Brothers, for giving me that honor.
As I traveled across the state, to other states and even other countries, I became
more convinced that as Masons we are different. We are committed to excellence
in our lives and we are not willing to compromise ourselves for the sake of popularity. As Masons we spend our life-time affirming our beliefs in moral conduct,
brotherhood and compassion. We do it for the honor of human spirit. Freemasonry
is a complete moral system tightly and warmly enveloped in the cocoon of the
Masonic Fraternity.
I have reached the conclusion that Masonic education must be an ongoing part
of every Masonic gathering, not necessarily a program, but an activity in the life of
the lodge.
In the turmoil of this modern world, Masonry is a spiritual Oasis where we can put
away our daily situations and think about humanity, about the fraternity of men
under the auspices of the Grand Architect of the Universe.
Masonry teaches us just as God commanded "Love One Another". First, we must
find God, we must love Him with all our being. Secondly, in that love of God we must
fashion our lives by works of friendships, compassion, understanding, and self
giving. Without brotherly love, peace and harmony cannot prevail.
I cannot leave this office without expressing my concern about the decrease in
membership. I am also concerned about the lack of attendence. I think both
problems can be solved by continuing education. Solicitation of any profane forthe
degrees of Masonry is prohibited, but "There is no objection to a neutrally worded
approach being made to a man who is considered to be a suitable candidate for
Masonry. After the procedure for obtaining membership in a Lodge is explained
the potential candidate must be left to make his own decision and come of his own
free will".
In these difficult days of labor layoffs, dismissals and lower take home pay, it is
essential that we be much more careful in suspending a Brother without obtaining
all the facts. Charity through our remission of dues may be a very real assist to some
of our brothers in their temporary time of need.
I would also suggest that every lodge give consideration to adopting a "mentor"
or "buddy" system so that every new Mason would have a brother invite him to all
Lodge functions. He would have a brother to guide and encourage him. I am sure
attendance would increase.
Another way to see that our lodges continue to grow and prosper is to see that the
Grand Lodge has enough money to continue to operate. It is important that we
increase our annual assessment to seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50). Each
delegate has a chance to make or break this great fraternity.
32
This Grand Master is at the end of his term of service to the Grand Lodge of
Louisiana. It has been a happy year. My Grand Lodge Officers have been terrific.
Howwellthey demonstrate thatservice truly is love made visible. Thankyou, Grand
Lodge Officers for making my year a truly good year. My thanks go to the Past
Grand Masters for their guidance and advice. I also want to thank the lodges for
their hospitality and kindness when we made our visits.
In closing, let us all look to the future with hope founded on the knowledge that
what we are and what we stand for is needed in our time as it has never been
needed before. Let us all continue to labor in the quarries of Freemasonry joyfully,
with fervency, and with zeal, forming our lives for the Master Builders use with
square, level and plumb.
For the lack of understanding others have of our Fraternity, each one of us share
that responsibility. If we fail to let the world know what we stand for, we are
imposing upon ourselves and out Fraternity more years of unfounded criticism.
Remember also "By their deeds ye shall know them."
NECROLOGY
The Supreme Architect of the Universe has seen fit to remove from us Most
Worshipful L.V. Noles. Brother Noles was Grand Master in 1963. We mourn the
passing of our Beloved Brother and offer our sincere sympathy to his wife,
Gertrude, and his many close friends.
We also mourn the passing of many other Masonic brethren who have departed
this world. May God's blessings be with them. Appropriate memorial services will
be conducted by the Necrology Committee for our departed brethren.
STATE OF THE ORDER
This year a few problems arose among the brethren in some of the Lodges, lam
happy to report that most of the problems were solved. They were solved because
the Masons in the State of Louisiana honor the traditions which give guidance and
directions for living. Charles Dickens wrote "It is the nature of things that man can
not really improve himself without in some degree improving other men." If we as
Masons remember this, we can only continue to grow. I am not talking numbers, I
am talking character. What we do today as Masons to build a better world will be
returned many fold to our children and to all mankind.

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS
Being a District Deputy Grand Master is not an easy job. I appreciate all that they
have done on behalf of the Grand Lodge.
Each of the District Deputy Grand Masters has responded promptly and wisely
when needed. They have been a truly dedicated group of Masons. Thank you.
This has been the third year for District Grand Lecturers. They are doing a good
job. At this time there are 216 gold certificate holders and 456 certificate holders.
We are working toward a goal of 700 certificate holders. Keep up the good work.

MASONIC HOME FOR CHILDREN
The Grand Master's Homecoming was held on Sunday, May 17, 1987, at the
Masonic Home for Children. The highlight of the day was the performance of the
children. When we see these beautiful children, how can we help but understand
why Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the
kingdom of God."
My son, Rev. John Paul Faciane, brought the message. I was very proud of him.
He closed his message by reminding the Brethren of their charitable obligation to
continue support of the Children's Home.
To R:W: Brother Eugene Love, Grand Senior Warden, and his committee, go my
gratitude and appreciation for their loving efforts to make this event such a tremendous success.
We are grateful to Brother Harold Moye and his staff for the love and care they
give the children in our home. The Masons brought love gifts totalling $11,280.78.
The Order of Eastern Star held its Annual Pilgrimage to the Masonic Home on
September 27,1987. We are grateful for their continued support. This year, under
the leadership of Sister Ruth Spoffard, Grand Worthy Matron, The Eastern Star
contributed $10,210.71 to the Masonic Home.
MASONIC HOME EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
The Masonic Home Educational Foundation continues to be supported by the
freewill contributions. We can only use the interest from the funds which we
receive. Interest rates are still low, and we can not help as many students as we
would like. This committee has continued to serve our Fraternity well and we
express our appreciation to them for a job well done.
MASONIC HOME ENDOWMENT FUND
The Masonic Home Endowment Fund has the goal of reaching each Mason in
the .penny-a-day program to raise the $2,000,000 to make the Home selfsupporting. The Chairman, Most Worshipful Brother E.R. Minchew, P.G.M., sent a
letter out to each member in our jurisdiction and will file a full report for this
program.
NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES
On September 16, 1987 our Masonic Home for Children was placed on the
National Register of Historical Places. This is a great honor for our Masonic
Home.
MASONIC EDUCATION
Masonic Education Seminars were conducted in Shreveport, Monroe, Alexandria, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. These Seminars were planned and conducted by the Districts under the direction of Brother Thomas Wilson and his
committee.
I received many favorable comments from the Masons in attendence. They also
expressed a desire to continue these seminars. R.W. Brother Jack Crouch also
46
held a very informative session with the secretaries of the lodges at these
seminars.
The Achievement Awards will be distributed to the District Deputy Grand
Masters for their districts.
Thank you Brothers for a job well done.
FIDELITY MEDAL
Now that the medals are in, we can go along with this program. I was a visitor to
the presentation of a medal in Open Lodge. The recipient was very appreciative of
this honor. I feel these presentations should always be done in Open Lodge
whereby the family can be present with the recipient.
HIGH SCHOOL AWARDS PROGRAM
In my year, this has been the bright light of all the programs we have in Louisiana.
The potential of this program is only beginning.
I would like to commend all the officers of the Lodges who participate in this
program.
A special thank-you goes to W: Brother D.L. Aldridgeand R:W: Brother Malcolm
A. Ballard for Co-Chairing his committee.
MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING
The Masonic Temple Building has about 66% of the commercial space rented at
this time. Our Building Manager, W: Brother Bowdre McDowell and his personnel
continue to improve the appearance of the building.
I thank R:W: Brother Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., D.G.M., Chairman forthe wonderful
job he has done in this capacity.
The Executive Committee which meets monthly continues to do a good job.
A complete report of the Board of Directors will be included in the Annual
Report.
BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
As Masons, ours is a priceless heritage-we have long stood in the vanguard of
those who live and give their lives for freedom. Masons began in this country
risking their lives for freedom.
We must work diligently to preserve our Masonic heritage. This was the purpose
of our Bicentennial Celebration. Our intent was to pass it on with rekindled light
and understanding to future generations.
The Grand Lodge of Louisiana celebrated the Bicentennial of the United States
Constitution on Saturday, September 12,1987 in Blackham Coliseum, Lafayette,
Louisiana. M.W. Ray Burgess, P.G.M. served as chairman and acted as Master of
Ceremonies. The speakers were W: Brother Richard O. Rush, M:W: James M.
Walley, P.G.M., W: Brother John R. Rarick.
My sincere hope is that we were able to impress on others the great importance
Masonry played in the forming of the Constitution of the United States.
Thank you M.W. Brother Burgess for a job well done by you and your committee.

GRAND MASTER'S CONFERENCE
The Grand Master's Conference of North America was held in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada, February 14-18. The opening ceremonies were beautiful and impressive.
Brother Norman Maclver, Chairman, brought a dynamic message called "Back
to Basics". Brother Robert Singer, Co-Chairman, brought an informative address
about our youth, drugs and alcohol. There were many more interesting
speakers.
At the end of the session, I questioned why there was no media coverage of the
opening ceremonies whereby favorable publicity would prevail. We fail to publicize
the good of Masonry, nor do we properly publicize our many charitable
programs.
Those in attendance from Louisiana were M:W: Lewis J. Faciane and Annette,
R:W: Eugene A. Wagner, Jr. and Gloria, R:W: Eugene F. Love and Dhale, R:W: Allen
G. Tidwell and Fran, and R:W: Jack Crouch and Mary.
WILLS AND LEGACIES
As Grand Master, I have appointed a committee to handle the details of
bequests. These bequests can be in the form of a memorial to our Masonic Home
Endowment Fund, to our Masonic Home Educational Foundation, or to the Grand
Lodge.
Brother Roland McKneely, Jr., is the Chairman of this Committee. Brother
McKneely and his committee are already hard at work. His address is:

RULING

Northeast Lodge No. 435. In response to a request
from Northeast Lodge regarding a petition from a blind
man, I ruled that since the man was self-sufficient, and
gainfully employed, Northeast Lodgecouldreceivethe
petition of Jeffrey Lynn Rainwater.
EDICT

The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, Free and Accepted Masons, is the
sole legal power of symbolic Masonry and Sovereign in the State of Louisiana. It is
supreme and so recognized by all Masonic Grand Jurisdictions through the world
and all true Masons within this Grand Jurisdiction owe obedience to her and are
48
obligated to conform to every regulation and edict of The Grand Lodge; and,
WHEREAS, an amendment to the By-Laws (Article 23, par. 3238, subsections (e)
and (f) of the Imperial Council of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine of North America was adopted and became effective on June 25,
1987, which provides for an appeal to the Imperial Council when a Noble (member
of the Shrine) has lost membership in a prerequisite Masonic body for any reason
other than non-payment of dues and if the appeal is sustained by the Imperial
Council, then the loss of membership in the prerequisite Masonic body will not
result in the Noble's loss of membership in his Shrine Temple; and,
WHEREAS, in the Grand Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the State of
Louisiana, F. & A.M., the loss of membership in a constituent Lodge results in the
loss of membership in any and all appendant, concordant or related Masonic
bodies or associations, including the Shrine, and,
WHEREAS, the amendment to the By-Laws of the Imperial Council, set forth
hereinabove, conflicts with and is repugnant to the Constitution and Regulations
of The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, as well as the Principles of Freemasonry
I, Lewis J. Faciane, Grand Master of Masons, in the State of Louisiana, do hereby
issue the following edict to be effective on the date set forth on the bottom hereof:
EDICT
I.
Loss of membership in a constituent Lodge within this Jurisdiction automatically
results in the loss of membership in any appendant, concordant, or related
Masonic bodies or association, including the Shrine.
II.

Acacia Temple, shall not permit a Shriner who is under suspension of expulsion
from any constituent Lodge, regardless of the reason therefor, to retain membership in the respective Temples or sit in a tiled meeting of the Temple.
III.
A Mason, within this Grand Jurisdiction, shall not sit in a tiled Shrine meeting if
there is present an individual who has been suspended or expelled by a Lodge of
any Grand Jurisdiction.
IV.
No Mason shall engage in any Masonic relationship, business, interchange,
discourse, or Masonic communication with any Shrine Temple or any of it's units,
clubs or other organization if the Temple permits a Mason who is suspended or
expelled in this or any other Jurisdiction, to retain membership in the Temple.
Any violation of this Edict shall constitute unMasonic conduct and subject the
Brother who violates the same to all of the penalties of Masonic Law.

together and exchange ideas and discuss mutual problems.
LOUISIANA FREEMASON
M:W: Brother Ray W. Burgess, P.G.M. and his Committee are doing a tremendous job with our Louisiana Freemason. Thankyou, Brother Burgessforyourtime
and expertise.
Every Lodge could have a big part in our paper by sending articles about what
your Lodge is doing and the activities they have. Brother Burgess would be most
appreciative.
CONCLUSION
This year has been a busy year for Annette and me. We have traveled all over our
great State. Everywhere we went everyone has treated us with kindness and love.
We have been to small country Lodges and big city Lodges, but they were all the
same - "full of love". Thank all of you for making my year as Grand Master so
wonderful.
At this time, I would like to also thank my sons, James, William, i. ewis and Henry.
for keeping the business going, for upkeeping our home and yard, for running
errands, and for putting up with my bad disposition. I wish to thank John for his
prayers and making the Grand Master's Homecoming so special. I would also like
to thank Melissa, L isa, and Beverly, for typing. I especially want to thank all my
family for their love and encouragement. Oh! yes, thanks for always seeing that we
were able to see the Grandchildren as soon as we returned home from trips.
Without all of my family I could not have been Grand Master.
Thanks go to all those who traveled with me and those who were present at
meetings.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to Malcolm Ballard for all the work he has done to
make this Grand Lodge Session so great.
Thank you R:W: Brother Jack Crouch for all those times you did my work!
Thank you, John Giardina, Anna Bel, Marian, and Mary for all the special "Hurry
up" jobs you all so willingly did for me throughout the year.
This"thank-you session" could go on and on, sol just conclude by saying, "Thank
you Fveryone".
Fraternally,
Lewis J. Faciane
Grand Master

REPORT OF GRAND TREASURER
TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND
LODGE OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A. M.: Brethren:
I extend my sincere thanks to the Masons of Louisiana for
permitting me the great honor of serving as Grand Treasurer during
the past three years.
On the pages that follow you will find many items of interest
which have been prepared by John Giardina, P.M., our Grand Lodge
accountant. The Grand Lodge accounts have been audited by the
appointed Certified Public Accountants, and the report will be
published in the Annual Grand Lodge Proceedings. In the opinion
of the Accounting Firm, the financial statements represent fairly
the financial position of the Grand Lodge at December 31, 1987.
The end of the fiscal year and the annual audit of the Grand
Lodge accounts is always a difficult period for our accountant,
and I thank John Giardina, P.M. for his hard work and dedication.
I recommend that the Grand Treasurer's Report be received and
ordered printed in the Annual Grand Lodge Proceedings.
ncejrely and fraternally,
fames M. Walley? P.G.M.

COMMISSION CARDS AND CERTIFICATES
Commission cards and certificates are authorized to be issued to all elected and
appointed officers indicating their election or appointment as such. Cards are
issued for each Board and Committee member indicating their election or appointment. This was done in the early part of the year.
TWENTY-FIVE AND FIFTY YEAR CERTIFICATES
The Grand Lodge is authorized to issue twenty-five and fifty year membership
certificates to all members in good standing in Lodges of our jurisdiction when they
have attained twenty-five or fifty years accumulative, but not necessarily continuous good standing in the Masonic Fraternity. No such certificate will be predated
to permit premature presentation. These certificates are prepared by the Grand
Lodge Office, based on the computer run, which we receive and issue to the
various Lodges. This past year we prepared 148 fifty year certificates and 872
twenty-five year certificates.
59
CENTENNIAL PLAQUES
There were no centennial plaques issued this year.
TAXES
FORM 990 - ANNUAL INFORMATION RETURN
All Lodges are reminded that the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. & A. M.
and its constituent Lodges are exempt from the payment of income tax. However,
under the provisions of the tax reform act of 1969, Lodges are now required to file
annual information return Form No. 990, "Return of Organization Exempt from
Income Tax". Since the enactment of the tax reform act of 1969, the IRS now
considers this transition period to be over, and the penalties forfailure to file Form
990 on the required due dates, which is May 15,1988 is $10.00 per day for each
day the report is late up to a maximum of $5,000.00. Lodges with gross receipts of
less than $25,000.00 may simply state on the face of Form No. 990; Gross
Receipts Tax includes all income from every source, including dues, degree fees,
rents, royalities, interests, dividends, donation, and building fund contribution. The
May 15th due date is for Lodges using calendar year accounting periods, that is
January 1 st through December 31 st inclusive. All of our Lodges in this state use
this period. The IRS does not automatically mail forms to the Lodges. It is the
responsibility for the Lodges to secure form and prepare and send it. Generally,
after one Form No. 990 is filed, a form is automatically mailed to the Lodge each
year. Returns should be mailed to the Internal Revenue Service, Austin, Texas
73301. Our Lodges are exempt from tax under Section 501 (C) (10) of the Internal
Revenue Code.
In addition to the above, the G.E.N. or Group Exemption Number of the Grand
Lodge is 0144 and should be shown on any of the Form 990's completed by the
Lodge.
The original group exemption letter was dated October 5, 1940.
EMPLOYMENT TAXES
Exemption from income tax does not relieve the Lodge from liability for Social
Security Taxes or other applicable employment taxes.
Smaller Lodges who employ a Secretary or any other employee in a part time
capacity and who either remit his dues and/or pay him a token salary, would not
generally be liable for employment taxes, unless such salary is $50 or more in a
calendar quarter.
Larger Lodges employing a Secretary or any other employee at a larger salary,
are liable for Social Security on his wages. Such taxes should be forwarded to the
Internal Revenue Service each Quarter on Form 941. Federal and State Unemployment Taxes must also be paid.
You are reminded that Social Security taxes are 7.51 percent for 1988. In
addition, federal unemployment tax is .8 percent and State Unemployment tax rate
should be furnished by the State Office.
60
STATE AND LOCAL SALES TAX
Lodges are not exempt from payment of State and Local Sales Tax on their
purchases. Lodges do not collect any taxes or make any reports concerning sales
tax, however, exemption from income tax does not apply to sales tax.
HANDBOOK OF MASONIC LAW
The revisions for 1987 were published as approved. Each Constituent Lodge
and Grand Lodger Officer received a copy and many individuals have purchased
same. They are available from our Masonic Service Committee for $.75 plus
postage. The complete Handbook with all revisions, without cover, is $8.25, and
with the cover the cost is $11.75, plus postage.
MASONIC DIRECTORY
The annual Masonic Directory was published and will continue to be published in
the future. It contains the list of Lodges in various arrangements for reference
purposes. It also contains the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Masters
and Secretaries, plus meeting nights and locations; and the Committees and
Boards of the Grand Lodge. One copy is furnished initially to Lodges and additional
copies may be purchased for $3.25 plus postage.
The Lodge Secretary and Worshipful Master should review the line entry for his
own Lodge and be assured we have printed it correctly. Remember this information comes from your Off icers Sheets which you submit at the beginning of the
year.
MASONIC EDUCATION SEMINAR
There were six Masonic Education Seminars held this year. These were held in
Shreveport, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Monroe and New Orleans. I
conducted a class for the secretaries in Baton Rouge, Alexandria and New Orleans
areas. The secretaries who attended have indicated that they were very informative and beneficial and expressed their appreciation and desire that they be
continued in the future.
DATA PROCESSING
Continued cooperation between this office and the personnel of the Data
Processing department of American Bank has resulted in much more accurate
records.
As in the past, address changes are one of our biggest problems. Due to
problems connected with reprogramming address entry into the computer system
to accommodate the new nine digit zip codes, all of the last four digits of the nine
digit codes have been deleted. We regret the inconvenience to the secretaries and
commend them on the diligent manner in which they have submitted the address
changes this year.
We still receive call from irate widows who receive mail months after the demise
of their husbands. Understandably, this is very unpleasant for them. Secretaries,
please report any death date as quickly as you can.
OFTHESTATEOFLOUISiANA
61
The coding of monthly reports and the delays in sending in the same by the
Secretaries continues to be one of the heaviest workloads for our office. It is
essential that Lodge officers take an interest in seeing that these reports are
submitted on time so that we can correct the machine produced rosters sent to
each Lodge in January of each year.
In order for dues cards to show P.M., Sr., Jr., or III in the proper place, it is
necessary for each Secretary to go through his roster and make the corrections on
a "Correction or Change of Name" form. When this is done, the dues cards will
contain all the correct information.
LISTS OF SUSPENSIONS AND EXPULSIONS ARE SENTTO EACH DISTRICT LODGE
AND OTHER MASONIC BODIES FOR THEIR INFORMATION.
It is becoming more apparent with each passing month that the ever increasing
dependence on data processing in our day to day operations makes it imperative
that serious consideration be given to the Grand Lodge leasing or purchasing if s
own computer system. Bear in mind that in 1986 American Bank terminated our
Data Processing services. After negoiations which resulted in increased cost for
these services, they agreed to continue with us for a short period of time. When the
services are not furnished to us as promised, we are in no position to complain.
Even though we are paying for these services, the fact remains that the bank
wishes to utilize the system for their own operations and would discontinue their
service to us without hesitation.
APPRECIATION
To the Grand Lodge office staff, Mrs. Anna Bel Kelley, Office Manager, Mrs.
Marian Rosenzweig, Mrs. Mary Crouch, and John Giardina, Accountant, I wish to
express my deep appreciation forthe cooperation they have given me thisyearand
for their dedication to this office. I also extend my thanks to each committeeman
and officer of the Grand Lodge for their cooperation and assistance during the
year. I am deeply indebted to each of you for the many courtesies that have been
extended to me.
CONCLUSION
All accounts have been audited by the firm of Pepperman, Emboulas, Schwartz
and Todaro, Certified Public Accounts and report will be made available.
To the Lodge Secretaries I offer my heartfelt thanks. Your cooperation and
unselfish devotion to our Craft makes my job easier.
In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks again for the confidence you have
shown in me by allowing me to continue as your Grand Secretary. The responsibility is tremendous, and I accept the challenge with great respect and
humility.
Fraternally submitted,
Jack Crouch,
Grand Secretary

W: Brother Roy B. Tuck, P.M. spoke in regards to the Masonic Trial
System as presented in 1987. He stated that a committee had been
appointed by Grand Master Faciane to study the trial system and they
would welcome any suggestions that might be helpful to this committee
composed by M:W: Brothers Robert L. Kleinpeter, D. Allen Long, James H.
King, Past Grand Masters and W: Brother Tuck.
W: Brother Irving I. Berglass, P.M. (396) Chairman, Permanent Committee on Work, presented the following Resolution No. 1988-10.
" Be it resolved, that an apron be authorized forthe members of the
Permanent Committee on Work to be designed and approved by
the Grand Lodge. The members of the Permanent Committee on
Work will pay for the aprons."
(s) Irving I. Berglass, P.M.
Jack Bridges, P.M.
Virgil F. Mauldin, P.M.
CarIT, Fatheree, P.M.
George H. Walker, P.M.
MilfordG. Busby, P.M.
It was moved and seconded that the resolution be received.
FIRST DAY — AFTERNOON SESSION
The Grand Lodge was called to labor at 1:00 P.M.
M:W: Brother Robert L Kleinpeter, P.G.M., referred to Resolution No.
1988-3, which pertained to an increase of Grand Lodge assessment for
$2.00 per year for each member to keep the Grand Lodge in operating
condition. He recommended adoption of Resolution No. 3.
W: Brother Philip J. Walker, P.M. (300), and secretary of Osiris Lodge
spoke in favor of the resolution be approved. He explained how the assessment was broken down, and then he explained how the cost of living index
had increased from 1980 through 1987 43.7%. The money we received in
1980 multiplied by the inflation index rate would cut our monetary gains in
half. He stated at the rate we were going, Grand Lodge funds would be
exhausted. He urged the adoption of this resolution.
W: Brother R.D. Bayliss, P.M. (436) spoke in regards to Resolution No. 3.
He stated that the cost of every item used in Grand Lodge for supplies, etc.
have increased tremendously these past 8 years, as also the taxes,
Workmen's Compensation, hospitalization, and Social Security. The
Workmen's Compensation is to increase about 35% this year. He stated if
the "out-go" exceeds the"in-go", you're in a terrible fix. He also stated the
Grand Secretary and the Grand Lodge employees have not received a
64
raise for 8 years. The cost of living has been given, but that has not been
given since 1986. No merit raises have been granted. He urged the
brethren to vote for the resolution and asked the brethren to second the
motion with him.
W: Brother Joseph W. Strahan, P. M. (160) spoke in regards to Resolution
No. 3. His lodge charged $11.00 when he was raised, and now it is $29.00.
Their insurance has gone up, and they are not breaking even at $29.00.
They take care of their older members, and do not send in or ask for
anything. He stated a lot of Lodges do not have insurance on their Lodge
buildings because they can not afford it. Attendance is bad, a lot of
members have dropped out, and he moved that the resolution be rejected.
W: Brother George L. Maxwell, P.M., stated he had not been a Mason for
a long period of time. The financial posture of the Grand Lodge will be a
total deficit if the resolution was not approved. He also stated that we are
not talking about an increase in salaries or services, we are talking about
vital existence. He moved that the motion be adopted.
W: Brother Thomas Guzciki, W.M. (46) stated they have 8 other Lodges
meeting in their Lodge Hall, and knew the problem Grand Lodge is facing
at this time. They are barely breaking even in their Lodge and will have to
increase their rates next year. We must support our Grand Lodge and not
let our Grand Lodge go into a deficit, and was for the resolution.
Resolution No. 1988-3 was disapproved.
R:W: Brother Jack Crouch, G.S. then read Resolution No. 1988-11 which
follows:
WHEREAS, All of the statements of fact listed in Resolution No. 1988-3
still apply, and
WHEREAS, The surplus funds which have been available for any shortfall in the Grand Lodge budget will be exhausted by the end of 1989,
and
WHEREAS, The Board of Budget and Control is required by Louisiana
Masonic Law to submit a balanced budget; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED: That the monies allocated to mileage and per diem be
discontinued beginning at the 1990 Annual Grand Lodge Communication,
if Resolution No. 1988-3 fails to pass.
M:W: Brother L Kleinpeter, P.G.M. informed the brethren this resolution
was not proper, and this resolution should have been introduced in the
morning session.
65
W: Brother Ed Yates, P.M. (456) stated if we could not introduce the
resolution now, he voted against the other one, but he was for this, and he
would rather pay the mileage for his Master, and would like to see the
resolution for next year and let it be effective for 1990.
Grand Master Faciane asked the brethren if they were willing to give up
their per diem. There was a loud applause. He asked the brethren if they
understood that we would take this resolution and vote on it tomorrow.
Brother Kleinpeter informed the brethren that it would take2/3voteto
accept the resolution and a majority vote would be necessary in tomorrow's morning session. There was a standing vote of 2/3 for acceptance of
this resolution.
REPORT OF APPEALS & GRIEVANCES COMMITTEE

REPORT OF BOARD OF CHARITIES AND BENEVOLENCES
M:W: Grand Master
Distinguished East
Guests and my Brethren all:
Your Board of Charities and Benevolences are pleased to report that all
applications for relief have been brought to a conclusion. Regrettably, it
was necessary to disapprove several due to not meeting the criteria, and
also it was necessary to return several for resubmissions as they were not
filled out completely.
It was also suggested the Lodges be reminded again that any portion of
relief extended, gained through individual donations, does not qualify for
any type reimbursement, only that extended out of Lodge funds; as
outlined in the Handbook of Masonic Law.
67
Due to loss of income in the operation of the Masonic Temple Building,
and that it could very well be, we will not receive the $ 18,000.00, or that it
may be curtailed. By vote of the Board it was agreed that all applications
will be acted upon, but payment will not be made until after October 1,
1988, at which time it will be determined whether funds are available for
such payment. Also by vote of the Board, all Constituent Lodges be
notified that reimbursement of dues waived be discontinued until further
notice of this Board.

Joseph W. Strahan, P.M.
M:W: Brother Howard M. Sigler, P.G.M., Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, Masonic Home and Masonic Home Education Foundation, Inc.
referred to his report as printed in the Advance Report. He pointed out
some of the details in his report stating they had 45 children go through the
activities of the Home. At the end of the year they had 36 children and
residents. Three children are attending college, and the Masonic Home
Educational Foundation pays for these students in college. He stated
children are fortunate to be placed in the Home. We not only furnish them a
place to live, but we also send them to college or trade school when they
finish High School, and pay for all their expenses.
He also reported on the Masonic Home Endowment Fund as printed in
the Advance Report, and the interest of that fund helps take care of the
expenses of the Home.
On his report for the Masonic Home Educational Foundation, he stated
that it is run by the same Board asthe Masonic Home, and only the interest
from the Foundation funds are used to assist students.
Grand Master Faciane thanked Brother Sigler for the outstanding work
he has done for the Home.

to the Home and praised the work Brother Howard M. Sigler has done for
the Home and mentioned Brother Sigler has been on the board since

RESOLUTION NO. 1988-1
WHEREAS, I have been alarmed by the steady loss of membership of the
Grand Lodge of Louisiana. Since 1966, a p»ri"* of 20 years, membership had a loss of 10,243 and suspesions were 12,799.
WHEREAS, There are two methods to reduce this steady trend: First,
have a five year plan of a statewide coordinated rî n«rt-a-Kam»n t- program of the Grand Lodge of La., the Grand Chapter of La., and the
Grand Council of La. Such a program was instituted in 1965. During
1975 and 1976, Yellow Pine Lodge No. 282, Oakdale Chapter No. 71 and
Oakdale Council 25, instituted a Program Of fcbrk. It conducted a
campaign for reinstatements in each body and secured obtained petitions in Oakdale Chapter and Oakdale Council; both were very sucassful.
Second, have each Lodge, Chapter and Council conduct their own re-instatemsnt programs. I prefer the first plan because many small tcvns
have only a Blue Lodge' and no Chapter or Council; hence we would lose
continunity of the York Rite Bodies.
BE IT RESOLVED, that a plan one be approved so that our suspensions
will decrease and the membership of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana will
be increased.

REFER TO ARTICLE VI, SECTION 1. of the General Regulations, Page
28, and the Digest of Edicts, Paragraph entitled "JURISDICTION,
RESIDENCE AND WAIVER", Page 86
WHEREAS, the above referenced Regulations and Edicts
concern the residency requirement of an applicant for
the degrees, and
WHEREAS,
there
are
numerous
Lodges
located
in
municipalities which border on the state lines between
Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi, and
WHEREAS, it is a common occurrence in such areas that a
potential applicant for the degrees physically resides
outside of Louisiana but owns a business or is employed
in Louisiana, his children attend school in Louisiana,
most of his friends reside in Louisiana, and the only
Lodge in which he would consider applying for the
degrees would be a Louisiana Lodge, and
WHEREAS,
in such
instances
it would be a great
advantage to Lodges in such areas to be able to
consider such applicants but only after obtaining a
written waiver of jurisdiction from the Grand Lodge of
the state of residence ; of the applicant as well as
written purmission of the Grand Master of Louisiana who
would consider same on a "case by case" basis.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED thats
1) Article VI., Section 1., Page 28, first sentence in the
first paragraph be amended to read as follows: "Every candidate
for initiation into Masonry must be twenty-one years of age
before making the application and, except he be a mariner, or,
non-resident of the State of Louisiana who has obtained a written
v/aiver of jurisdiction from his Grand Jurisdiction and the
written approval of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, must have been
a resident of the State Of Louisiana continuously for twelve
months before filing his application. Such
suspended."
and
2) The Digest of Edicts, paragraph entitled "JURISDICTION,
RESIDENCE AND WAIVER", Page 86, be amended to read as follows:
"Except for a non-resident of the State of Louisiana who has
obtained
written
waiver
of
jurisdiction
from
his
Grand
Jurisdiction
and
written
approval
of
the Grand
Lodge
of
Louisiana, twelve months continuous residence in Louisiana is
required to make any person eligible to apply for degrees in
Masonry, and one who has resided continuously for twelve months
in the State of Louisiana, and has established his legal domicile
herein,
is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of
Louisiana.
Citizenship thus acquired shall not be lost by
temporary absences from Louisiana if that person did not acquire,
and never intended to acquire, permanent residence outside of
Louisiana, or if such temporary residence has not brought him
under such outside Masonic Grand Jurisdiction. One, except he be
91
a mariner, without established residence cannot make application
for the degrees even if he is a federal or state employee or a
member of the armed forces of the United States of America. The
requirement of residence in the State of Louisiana, which may
involve citizenship and change thereof, cannot be waived by the
Lodge except with written permission of the Grand Master.
If one has
jurisdiction."

M:W: Brother D. Allen Long, P.G.M., Secretary of the Grand Lodge Hall
Board gave his report. He stated that the Board is doing its best in the
operation of the Temple and taking every opportunity to reduce cost of
operations and improve profits. The Masonic Temple is on the market, but
with conditions as they are we do not at this time have any real solid
prospects. The report of the board was unanimously approved.

REPORT
OF CHAIRMAN
OF EXEC.
COMMITTEE:
Right Worshipful Brother Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., reported that
the finanaial picture concerning the operation of our
Masonic Temple Building is not a pleasant one. Presently
the occupancy of the commercial space is somewhere around
60 to 65%. The income for commercial space in 1987 was
down $100,000.00 from what we budgeted early last year;
also, reimbursement for utilities was down approximately
$28,000.00 from what was budgeted for the year. As you
all know, interest rates are down, so our interest income
was also down. As was reported to you early in 1987, our
Real Estate taxes took a big jump and it was necessary to
take a little over $100,000.00 out of the R.0. & I. account
in January, 1987 to pay them. The way things are going,
it probably will be necessary to take money out of this
account again this year in order to continue the Temple
operation.
The picture concerning cemetery finances is also an unpleasant
one. Interments are down approximately $2500.00 for the year,
and the interest on our investments is down due to the low
interest rates.
Even though the total of our cemetery expenditures for the
year was below what was budgeted, we operated at a loss
because of the large decrease in income.
98
As per instructions from this board, your Executive Committee
proceeded to try to negotiate with Mrs. Dietrich for the
payment of the money she owes on Building Renovation and
the back rent on one of the leases she holds for CBD
services. We offered to settle with her for $20,000.00 on
building renovations and also for all the back rent she owes
for CBD
services. However, she still feels that we should
cancel all of the balance she owes on building renovations,
and she should only pay the back rent. Therefore, your
Executive Committee has informed Mrs. Dietrich in a letter
that she will be given until March 1, 1988, to either pay
the $20,000.00 she owes on building improvements and the
back rent for CBD
services or vacate the area occupied by
CBD
services. If she decides to vacate the area, we will
have a wall erected and will proceed to try to rent this
space.
The proposed 1988 budget for the Masonic Temple, see Paper
No. 1, was next presented after a few minor changes, it
was approved.
Paper No. 2 shows the Masonic Temple Building "R.0. S I.
Investments" and the "Reserve for Depreciation" investments.
A motion was made, seconded and passed that these two funds
be combined into the R.0. & I. fund if this action meets with
the approval of the auditors.
The proposed 1988 budget for the Masonic Cemetery, see Paper
No. 3, was presented and approved.
Paper No. 4 shows the Masonic Cemetery Investments in the
"Perpetual Care Fund" and the "Endowment Fund".
The Chairman of the Executive Committee requested permission
of the Grand Lodge Hall Board to cash in Treasury Bonds in
the R.0. & I. Fund and in the Cemetery Endowment Fund which
are only paying 4%% interest. The money would be invested
in an insured institution paying a higher rate. The Grand
Lodge Hall Board voted to permit this subject to checking
with a financial advisor and finding that it would be a
financially sound move.
R:W: Allen G. Tidwell, G.J.W. was elected to represent the
Board on the Educational Foundation.
M:W: Brother E. R.Minchew, P.G.M. offered the following
resolution:
RESOLUTION:
"Be it resolved, by the Grand Lodge Hall Board on this
6th day of February that the Grand Master appoint a committee
of three members of the Board to ascertain the per capita
cost for the essential services needed to maintain the operation of the Lodges throughout the State, and be it further
resolved that this information be available to the Grand
Lodge Hall Board not later than the July, 1988, meeting of
the Board. This was seconded by Brother I. C. Turnley.
PER DIEM:
M:W: Brother Minchew moved that the Grand Lodge Hall Board be
paid for two days per diem.
(PASSED)

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON WORK AND
RETURNS OF LODGES 1987
A careful examination has been made of the returns of the 284
Lodges and 1 Lodge under Dispensation for the year 1987. These returns appear to be accurate with the exception of a few minor adjustments .
011a Lodge No. 303 consolidated with Charles F. Buck Lodge No.
260 on September 28, 1987.
Marrero Lodge U.D. was granted a dispensation on April 12, 1987
to operate until December 31, 1987, and have submitted their records
and supporting papers with a request that a charter be granted to
them.
Your Committee acknowledges this request and recommends that
Marrero Lodge U.D. be granted a charter as Marrero Lodge No. 479.
102
The Committee appreciates and thanks the Grand Lodge Staff
for their splendid help and assistance in compiling this report.

Eugene A. Wagner, Jr.,D.G.M.
Chairman
R:W: Brother JackCrouch, G.S. and President of the Masonic Education
Foundation, Inc., referred to his report as printed in the Advance Report.
He stated we assisted over36 young men and women, but haven't added
any students, and a number of students have requested applications. He
moved that his report be accepted and printed in the Proceedings. Grand
Lodge approved the report of the Board.
MASONIC EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, INC.
The Masonic Educational Foundation, Inc. had a very good year
in 1987 by assisting 36 young men and women attending colleges or
universities this year. However, we had many requests, that, due to
lack of funds, we were unable to grant. Also, the number of grants •
we were giving have started decreasing due to the declining interest
rates. We should be able to maintain approximately 28 grants per year,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the other members
of the Board and Mrs. Marian Rosenzweig for her help this past year
and especially the Grand Lodge Accountant, W: Brother John Giardina,
for his help.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE COMMITTEE
Most Worshipful Grand Master, Crand Lodge Officers, Past Grand
Masters, Honored Visitors, and Brethren:
Fraternal Correspondence from Grand Lodges throughout the
United States, and abroad continue to keep us informed, as to
what is transpiring in their respective jurisdictions.
104
The Commission on Information for Recognition of the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America has provided assistance to Grand Lodges in North America seeking information on Foreign Grand Lodges requesting recognition. It
was with their assistance, that we are able to make our recommendations on the following requests.
In April of 1987, correspondence was received from the Grand
Lodge "GRANDE LOJA do RIO GRANDE do NORTE" of Brazil requesting
official recognition and an exchange of Representatives.
In August of 1987, correspondence was also received from
the Grand Lodge GRANDE LOJA do ESTADO de ALAGOAS" of Brazil
requesting official recognition and an exchange of Representatives.
In November of 1987, correspondence was received from the
trande Loja Maconica do Estado De Mato Grosso Do Sul"of Brazil requesting official recognition and an exchange of Representatives.
It is the Committee's recommendation, that the"Grande Loja do
Estado de Alagoas", the "Grand Loja do Rio Grande do Norte".and the
Grande Loja Maconica do Estado De Mato Grosso Do Sul" receive official
recognition from the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana along with
an exchange of Representatives. They are all in accordance with our
requirement for recognition.

accepted and printed in the Proceedings. The Grand Lodge approved the
report. Grand Master Faciane commented on the work of this committee
and how effective it has been throughout the State. The Grand Master
stated that through his travels, and the Grand Lodge Officers travels they
have noted the improvement, and the work is becoming more uniform.
Brother Berglass thanked the Grand Master for his remarks, and said that
the credit belongs to the members of the Committee, and to the District
Grand Lecturers.
PERMANENT COMMITTEE ON WORK

and the District Grand Lecturers, Certificate Lecturers, District Lodge
Officers, and the Certificate Associations.
105
The District Grand Lecturers held Workshops regularly throughout
the jurisdiction as did the Certificate Associations and District
Lodges. The Workshops are for the purpose of teaching the work correctly and to make the work uniform throughout the State.
Certificate of Proficiency Holders throughout the State are
as follows:
BRETHREN CERTIFIED- 672 NEW CERTIFICATIONS- 34

The Committee met four times this year, and had very productive
meetings. The Committee agreed on the proper manner the floor work
is to be done, and appropriate recommendations are being made for the
adoption of the procedures.
The Committee thanks the Grand Lodge Officers for the cooperation
and support given to assist us in obtaining our goals.

W: Brother Leslie F. Tanner, Jr., P.M. (190) Chairman, Library Committee, referred to his report as printed in the Advance Report. He stated
his Committee believes that Masonic Education is the ideal instrument
with which to strengthen our fraternity. For that reason, the Library Committee has worked long and hard, and have taken a considerable amount
of money out of their own pockets. He moved that his report be accepted
and printed in the Proceedings. Grand Lodge approved his report. He also
stated his committee had the opportunity to observe the Grand Lodge
Office and Service Committee in operation and considered them dedicated personnel.
REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGE LIBRARY COMMITTEE
December 20, 1987
M:W: Grand Master:
When you appointed us to this Committee, you charged us to
inventory and catalog all the books in the library.
Your Committee has inventoried every book, periodical, and
proceedings in the library. A list has been recorded in a com-,
puter and a printout made.
The broken locks on some of the bookshelf doors have been
repaired.
Title and author cards are being added. A start has been
made toward determining the subject natter contained in each
book and writing the appropriate subject cards.
All the above, plus the additional expense of supplies,
transportation and parking have been donated by members of
the Committee.
Your Committee believes that the well-being of Freemasonry
lies in more Masonic education and that Louisiana Masons would
benefit if the Grand Lodge Library would become a statewide
Masonic information center.
106
With this long-range goal in mind, your Committee recommends
the following:
Many irreplaceable books are in serious stages of deterioration. Restoration of some is needed, and others deserve preservation from further decay. Funds are needed for this purpose as
well as to purchase additional books, literature, and supplies.
It seems natural that the Grand Lodge Library would be the
repository for all Masonic research and written Masonic information in Lousiana.
A study should be made with the purpose of establishing
absolute security of the library and its contents.
When classification of books is complete, a minimum of one
representative from the Library Committee will be present five
days a week for specified hours. At present, the Masonic Temple
Building has a telephone number. The Grand Lodge offices have a
telephone number, and the Department of Lodge Equipment and Supplies
has yet a third telephone number. The personnel in these offices
are overworked. So that Masons from around the State could request
Masonic information directly from the Grand Lodge Library, it is
recommended that the Grand Lodge Library be equipped with a telephone under its own number.
The Louisiana Freemason is a quarterly of which we are proud.
Its usefulness and interest could be even further enhanced with a
continuing notice of the availability of a Grand Lodge Library information Service, as well as a continuing request for donations
of Masonic books.
Your Committee members are grateful for the honor to serve on
this Committee which has so much potential for the benefit of
Louisiana Masons and Masonry.
Respectfully submitted,
Leslie F. Tanner, Jr.,
Chairman,
Grand Lodge Library Committee
W: Brother Thomas A. Wilson, P.M. (380), Chairman, Masonic Education
Committee, reported that the committee had six workshops and seminars,
which were held in New Orleans, Monroe, Shreveport, Baton Rouge,
Alexandria and Lake Charles. He gave special thanks to M:W: Brother D.
Walter Jessen, P.G.M. and S.G.I.G. for arranging to have the meeting
places in the Scottish Rite Temples. He stated that R:W: Brother Jack
Crouch, Grand Secretary had some very informative sessions for the
secretaries. He recommended that the Seminars be continued. He urged
the Lodges to make every effort to qualify for the Achievement Award in
1988, and that all D.D.G.M.'s submit their quarterly report timely. The
reports for Achievement Awards should be sent in on or before November
10th, which can be supplemented as warranted. He recommended that his
report be received and printed in the Proceedings. Grand Lodge approved
the report.
Grand Master Faciane commented on the seminars and recommended
that the incoming Grand Master continue these seminars.

MASONIC EDUCATION COMMITTEE REPORT
FOR 1987
YOUR COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS:
1.
The committee on Masonic Education urges that the District
Deputy Grand Masters take a more active role In the Grand
Lodge Masonic Education Awards program by working with
their lodges and assisting them to comply and qualify for
the placque in this program.
108
Attendance at the Southeast Masonic Conference helped your
commltee glean valuable information that has been very
useful to your Grand Lodge and your Masonic Education
Committee. He recommend that the Grand Lodge get more
Involved In publishing and distributing similar material as
is being published by other Lodges in the Southeast Masonic
Conference District.
Masonic Education Seminars were conducted in Shreveport,
Monroe, Alexandria, Baton Rouge and New Orleans under the
direction of this Committee. Many of the Masons who
attended these seminars were favorably Impressed and
expressed a desire to see them continue. R.W. Brother Jack
Crouch held very Informative seessions with the secretaries
of the lodges at these seminars. We recommend that these
seminars continue.
That each Lodge in Louisiana make an extra effort to
qualify for the Achievement Award in 1988.
That all D.D.G.M.'s submit their Quarterly reports timely
submit their reports on achievement awards, on or before
November 10, 1988, which can be supplemented as warranted.

M:W: Brother E.R. Minchew, P.G.M., Chairman, Masonic Home Endowment Fund, referred to his report in the Advance Report and stated that
there were a few changes to be made in his original report. That report
follows. He reminded the brethren that the Endowment Fund started iri
1978. We now have approximately $850,000,000 with the help of the
committee and Grand Lodge Officers. This past year almost $49,500 in
interest was turned over to the Home from the Endowment Fund. He
encouraged the brethren to build the Masonic Home Endowment Fund,
and moved the adoption of his report. Grand Lodge approved the
report.
113
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGE
COMMITTEE ON THE MASONIC HOME ENDOWMENT FUND
Your Grand Lodge Committee on the Masonic Home Endowment Fund
begs to report as follows:
The members of the Grand Lodge Committee on the Masonic Home
Endowment Fund has attempted to reach as many Free and Accepted
Masons in Louisiana as has been possible. Each member of the
Committee recognizes his responsibilities and has devoted much
time and effort to increase the endowment. Our efforts have not
met with the response that we had hoped. The Penny-A-Day Program,
supported by our Grand Master and the Line Officers, has not been
accepted by every Lodge and every Mason. We again request each
secretary of a Lodge to add a statement to the request for dues
to read: "Don't forget the Penny-A-Day Program. Please add $3.65
to your dues for the Masonic Home Endowment Fund".
Where this has
been done, the results have been remarkable.
As of November 30, 1987 the amount of money in the Endowment
Fund was $819,455.00. We have been most fortunate this year in that
one of our beloved Past Masters, W: Brother George Maxwell of
Rayville and his wife, Lucille, (who are now deceased) have willed
tc the Endowment fund their estate the sum of $96,000.00. The Grand
Lodge is grateful for the thought fulness and love of Brother and
Mrs. Maxwell. There should be others who, if properly approached,
would include, the Masonic Home Endowment Fund in their wills. Let's
seek to find those people.
Your committee thanks all who have made a contribution to
the Endowment Fund during 1987 and to our Grand Master and other
Grand Lodge Officers for their support and encouragement during the
year .
E. R. Minchew, P.G.M., Chairman
Committee on Masonic Home
Endowment Fund
M:W: Brother Thomas T. Elkins, P.G.M. gave a report on the George
Washington National Memorial Foundation. Four years ago, at the Grand
Master's Conference in Dallas, Texas, he was elected to the George
Washington National Memorial committee. Since that time, the Memorial
has spent over $261,000.00 in repairs and clean-up. A big ditch was built
around the Memorial to protect it from vandalism. He thoroughly enjoyed
his association with the Memorial. The Memorial has initiated a vigorous
restoration and maintenance program of the past few years and it now
appears to be in beautiful condition, but there is still many things to be
done. The primary need of the Association is to increase the Endowment
Fund for the maintenance and operation of the Memorial. Specific needs
are: Increase the Endowment Fund from $3,614,895.00 to
15,000,000.00. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania has given over
$200,000.00 a year. We were one of the first Southern States to take part
in donations to the Memorial. He appealed to our Grand Lodge to put
$5.00 on the initiation fees of the E.A. Masons, which was approved. Now
114
we have given better than $4,000.00 to this great monument. He encouraged the brethren to visit the memorial. He thanked the Grand Master
for reappointing him to serve on this committee.
W: Brother D. Vernon Dupree, P.M., Chairman, State of the Order,
referred to his report in the Advance Report. He referred to the Grand
Master's report whereas the Grand Master concluded that Masonic
Education must be the central theme in every Masonic gathering to add
vigor and new life to the Lodge. He had expressed concern for the
decrease in membership and attendance and believes that strong and
continued Masonic Education will eliminate most of the problems. He
moved the adoption of his report. Grand Lodge approved the report.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE
STATE OF THE ORDER
Our Grand Master extended welcome to all assembled in Baton Rouge
for the One Hundred and Seventy-Seventh Annual Communication of the
Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana. A hearty welcome was accorded our distinguished out-of-state guests in wishing
for then a pleasant visit.
As he traveled about the State and to other States and foreign
countries our Grand Master became convinced that Masons are different,
committed to excellence, not willing to compromise ourselves for sake
of popularity, spending lifetimes affirming our beliefs in moral conduct, brotherhood and compassion. Be also concluded that Masonic
education must be the central theme in every Masonic gathering, to add
vigor and new life to the Lodge. Masonic education teaches the commandment "Love One Another" by first finding and loving God with all
our being, and fashioning our lives with the qualities of brotherly
love.
In leaving his office as Grand Master, he expressed concern over
decreases in membership and attendance, and believes that strong and
continued Masonic education will eliminate most of the problem. He
urges every Lodge to analyse needs for Masonic charity before suspending a member for NPD, and to give relief wherever possible. He also
suggests that Lodges give consideration to adopting a "buddy" system
so that every new Mason may have a brother invite' him to all Lodge
functions, thereby enhancing chances for an increase In attendance.
He thanked the Grand Lodge Officers for their devoted assistance
last year; the Past Grand Masters for their counsel; and constltutent
Lodges for their cordial receptions extended him and members of his
official family in their visits.
A few problems arose among the brethren of some Lodges, but our
Grand Master happily reports that most of the problems were resolved,
with peace and harmony prevailing.
Our Grand Master devoted 212 days last year to Masonic activities,
including 49 days in visits to 14 other jurisdictions. The remaining
visits are catagorized as follows: Blue Lodges 70 days; District
Lodge Meetings 6; Scottish Rite 17; Shrine 17; Board of Trustees of
the Masonic Home for Children 10; Grand Lodge Hall Board 6; Order of
the Eastern Star 6; Masonic Education Seminars 4; other acitlvltes 27.
Durations of attendance in other jurisdictions were: Arkansas 3
days; Mississippi 2; Iowa 4; Tennessee 3; Florida 4; Alabama 2; Texas
4; Conference of Grand Masters of North America, Calgary, Alberta,
115
(State of the Order)
Canada 5; Imperial Shrine Convention, Las Vegas 7; Southeastern Masonic
Conference, Gatlinburg 5; Bouse of the Temple, Washington 8; Blue
Lodges 2.
Our Grand Master officiated at events aa followst Laid cornerstones
for Corporation Building, Jefferson; Civic Center Building, Bossier
City; and Fair Park Lodge No. 436, Shreveport; Dedicated Fair Park
Lodge No. 436; Inatituted Marrero Lodge U.D.; and Consolidated 011a
Lodge No. 303 and Charles F. Buck Lodge No. 260.
The Grand Master's Homecoming at the Masonic Home for Children
May 17, 1987 was highlighted by the performance of the children and
the message brought by Rev. John Paul Faciane, son of our Grand Master.
Gratitude and appreciation were extended by our Grand Master to R:W:
Brother Eugene Love and his committee for their contributions to a
successful Homecoming; to Brother Harold Moye and his staff for their
love and care given the children of the Home; and to Masons and Order
of Eastern Star for their generous donations for the Home.
The Masonic Home Educational Foundation Committee was praised for
the excellent job in helping as many students as possible on interest
income from Invested funds derived from freewill contributions.
Current
low interest rates yield a correspondingly lower income for this worthy endeavor.
The Chairman of the Masonic Home Endowment Fund urges Masons to
contribute a minimum of a penny-a-day, or more, if possible, to this
fund so that it may ultimately reach a goal of $2,000,000.00 to make
the Home self-supporting.
Our Grand Master expressed appreciation to the Manager of the
Masonic Temple Building, to R:W: Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., Chairman; and
to the Executive Committee, for managing affairs of the Temple so well
with only about 66% space rented.
An impressive and successful Bicentennial Celebration arranged by
M:W: Brother Ray Burgess, P.G.M., and his committee was held September 12, 1987 in Blackham Coliseum, Lafayette. Speakers were Brothers
Richard 0. Rush, M:W: James M. Walley, P.G.M., G.T., M:W: N. Harris
McClamroch, P.G.M., and W: John R. Rarick, P.M.
Our Grand Master cited the valuable role served by the Louisiana
Freemason published under direction of M:W: Brother Ray W. Burgess,
P.G.M., and his committee, and urges all Lodges to contribute articles
about their Lodges for publication.
From the foregoing analysis, the Committee of the State of the
Order is of the opinion that our Grand Master has given a splendid
accounting of his stewardship last year.

W: Brother D.L Aldridge, P.M., Chairman of the High School Awards,
Stated that this was the 11 th year of the Honesty and Integrity Awards of
the Grand Lodge and read his report as printed in the Advance Report. He
recognized Level Lodge No. 373 as something unusual, they had two men
raised on the same night many years ago, and they presented awards to
both of them. He congratulated them. He recommended that it be
accepted and printed in the Proceedings. Our Grand Master commented
on this program and stated it is one of the finest programs we have in this
State. He complimented Brother Aldridge. The report was approved.
REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON HIGH SCHOOL AWARDS
REPORT NUMBER 11 - THE ELEVENTH TEAR 1987
Grand Master, Lewis Faciane, your committee wishes to thank
you and your officers for- the support given this program during
the year 1987. As per your request, we did sake available a
listing of biblical references to the virtues of honesty and integrity. These were mailed to every constituent Lodge and Grand
Lodge officer. Our annual areetlng was held at the Masonic Home
for Children on the afternoon of the Grand Master's Homecoming.
It was well attended. During 1987 148 Lodges participated In the
program presenting Honesty-Integrity Awards to 450 students In
their junior year of high school. The Constituent Lodges of
Louisiana have now presented over 3000 such awards. These students are travelers in time. They will be citizens of the twentyfirst century, many of us will not. They carry the message Masons
are men that people look up to-Men of Honesty, Men of Integrity.
Wouldn't it be great if lOOZof our Lodges made such a presentation
in 1988? It could happen. The program is voluntary.
The Grand Lodge Service Committee informs us that 62 of the
Constituent Lodges presented the Grand Lodge Fidelity Medal to
the Mason who has been longest a Mason in their Lodge. This new
program is also a voluntary program. At the request of the
Deputy Grand Master, Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., two presentation talks
have been written on the subject of fidelity. Copies are available.
We urge each constituent Lodge which has not already done so, to
recognize their Lodge's oldest Mason with "The Golden Palm Award",
it's a great thing to do. While it is not something each Lodge will
do every year, each Blue Lodge secretary should consider it his duty
to inform the Worshipful Master when a particular brother is due
such recognition. Do it soon. Do it before he dies. Both the
Fidelity Medal and the Honesty and Integrity key are available
through the Grand Lodge Service Committee. We appreciate the
accurate records they keep.
I move this report be accepted and printed in Jtfii proo€e)dings.

SERVICE COMMITTEE REPORT 1987
We, as a Committee, want to express our sincere appreciation
and gratitude to the officers and members of the Constituent Lodges
and to the officers of the Grand Lodge. The assistance and cooperation has made our task easier.
Our sales are beginning to increase. The acceptance of the
Fidelity Medal is gratifying. Even though our suppliers continue
to increase prices, we strive to keep ours as low as possible.
We have a nice selection of rings, watches, and lapel pins which
we encourage you to purchase from us. We are usually cheaper than
the jewelry stores, and we can special order almost any type of
jewelry item you want.
Let us encourage you to get orders in early for items that
need engraving or other work. We take pride in our services to you.
We wish to thank Rose Mary Wilson and Mary Gail Black for the work
above and beyond the call of duty. The assistance of W, Brother
C. Owen Helntz as Bookkeeper and Auditor was Invaluable.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE in
SUPERVISE PUBLICATION OF
LOUISIANA FREEMASON BULLETIN
Tour Committee has published four Issues during the year.
We have endeavoured to diversify lta contents so as to present
a more complete picture of Masonry in Louisiana. Stories about
Past Grand Masters, Governors vho were Masons, and Masonic Personalities have been included. Lodge News and items of Special
Interest have occupied most the space.
Next year we intend to add special accounts of Masonic
Appendant Bodies.
Some areas of the State are not adequately covered simply
because we do not receive any news. If your Lodge is never
represented, it is incumbent upon you to send a story to your
editor. Be sure to include a picture.
Ray W. Burgess,P.G.M«.Editor
REPORT OF THE
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES COMMITTEE
Only one meeting was held during the year and not very much
was accomplished. Tour chairman feels that there is a great need
for this effort because long range "Goals and Objectives" are
necessary for the survival of our great Fraternity.
Area of concern such as finances for the proper operation
of the Grand Lodge, insurance coverage for our Constituent Lodges,
life membership, decling membership, suspension for non-payment
of dues, and Masonic education must be addressed. For this program to succeed it must have the complete support of the Grand
Master and his officers, the Past Grand Masters, and the officers
and brethren of our member Lodges.

REPORT OF
COMMITTEE TO PLAN CELEBRATION OF THE BI-CENTENNIAL
OF THE
U.S. CONSTITUTION
Your Committee has been very active during the year. We
have caused several articles to be published in the Louisiana
Freemason, A number of constitutent Lodges held celebrations,
the most noteworthy of which vas Slidell No. 311 wherein Bro.
James K. Richmond played the role of Bro. Benjamin Franklin.
The highlight was the Grand Lodge celebration at Lafayette
on September 12, 1987. Our Grand Master encourages our Lodges
to continue the observance of this great event for the next
two years .

REPORT OF GRAND LODGE ARRANGEMENTS COMMITTEEE
The success of your Grand Lodge Session depends upon the
co-operation of all the many masons involved. In 1986 it was
decided by the elected line officers that each Grand Master
would invite all qualified masons and their guests to attend
the various functions, with tickets being sold for each respective
functions. This practice was begun in February of 1987 at the
Grand Lodge Session held in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
We are

PRESS AND PUBLICITY COMITTEE
Most Worshipful Grand Master, Grand Lodge Officers, and My Brother
Master Masons:
The report of the Grand Lodge Committee on Press
Publicity Is exceedingly short this year. It is as follows:
and
During the course of this past year, as has been the case In
recent years, a number of negative news articles have been placed
before the public which were against our fraternity. It is the
feeling of this committee
that the most productive means to
counter this attack is not to lower ourselves down to the level of
our critics. We must take every opportunity to be positive!
,
We must promote the outstanding charitable and fraternal
aspects of Freemasonry - in all its branches and levels.
An
excellent example of this policy was the Masonic Awareness Day
held last year in Alexandria and the Constitution
Bicentennial
Celebration held this year In Lafayette. Many local lodges are
holding open meetings for family members and guests to attend. We
must no longer hide our light under the proverbial bushel basket.
Freemasonry has much to be proud of — we should be proud enoughto
speak up for it in the proper context and situation.

HISTORY COMMITTEE REPORT
The History Committee of the Grand Lodge of the State of
Louisiana would like to report three accomplishments:
1) Members of the Committee continue to be active in promoting the history, both sources and content, of our institution.
Numerous addresses have been given before individual Lodges on the
history of Louisiana Masonry with special emphasis on the 175th
anniversary. Efforts are ongoing to encourage Lodges to provide
essential historical information required by the Grand Lodge
Archives. Such activity directed toward the preservation of
individual Lodges histories have been, for the most part, wholly
unsuccessful because of a lack of Lodge interest and participation.
2) With the assistance of the staff of the Special Collections
Division, Sandel Library, Northeast Louisiana University, the photographic collection of the Grand Lodge Archives has been processed
and catalogued. Although many of the photographs are unidentified,
there is still a wealth of information, in the photographic format,
that documents both the history of the Grand Lodge and numerous individual Lodges. There is, for example, a complete photographic
record of the construction of the present Grand Lodge building.
3) After a long delay, a complete history of Louisiana Masonry,
Let There Be Light;A History of the Grand Lodge of the State of
State of Louisiana, 1763-1987, is finished and is in the process of
publication by Windsor Press of Northridge, California. This study
chronicles the history of the Grand Lodge and also mentions, with
varying degrees of depth, every Lodge chartered in the State. Some
125-150 photographs illustrate the work. It is hoped that the volume
will be appreciated by the Masons of Louisiana.
It is the recommendation of the chairman that additional emphasis be placed on the work of the history committee. A part of
that additional emphasis would require that the committee meet
annually during the Grand Lodge Session and that goals and objectives
be established. It is hoped that the chairman will be able to direct
additional efforts in providing leadership to this vital committee
during the coming year.

GRAND MASTER'S HOMECOMING - 1987
EUGENE F. LOVE,
CHAIRMAN
The Annual Grand Master's Homecoming was held May 17, 1987
at the Masonic Home for Children, Alexandria, La.
The program began at 10:00 A.M. A capacity crowd enjoyed
the musical program presented by Judy and Clifton Bernard.
(Clifton was so impressed with the love the brethren displayed
toward the children, their dedication to supporting the Home,
and the friendly attitude among the brethren and their families,
that he secured a petition and is now a Master Mason in Eastern
Star Lodge No. 151, Hinnfield, La.)
Children from the Home participated in the program. Loretta
O'Neal led the Pledge of Allegiance and Regina Jasper gave the
welcome address to the visitors. Troy Eunice gave the benediction,
and the entire group of children provided special music.
The Cenla Temple Guard from Alexandria gave an impressive
presentation of our flag.
It was truly homecoming for Dr. Gene Chambers, a former
resident of the Home. Dr. Chambers reflected upon his pleasant
memories of the Home and the security it gave him as a young boy
without a home. He is now a member of Alexandria Lodge No. 398.
He gives the home the benefit of his professional training as he
works with the children.
Superintendent Harold Moye presented his staff and the
children. He expressed his love and appreciation to those who so
generously contribute their time and talents to the welfare of the
children.
Grand Master Lewis J. Faciane spoke briefly to the large crowd.
He expressed his thanks for their attendance, their love and support
of the Home and he encouraged all Masons to remember that their
lives are like a sign board on the highway, what people see in you
is their impression of Masonry. The Grand Master and Grand Treasurer,
M:W: James M. Walley, P.G.M., received gifts from Lodge.8, Appendant
Bodies and individuals in the amount of $11,280 for support of the
Home.
Rev. John Paul Faciane, the son of Grand Master Lewis Faciane,
delivered an inspiring message. Rev. Faciane, a young minister with
a slight southern accent, entertained the group with his fine sense
of humor and wthe love he has for God. The sincerity and love
displayed in his message touched the hearts of those in attendance.
Picnic lunches, dinner on the grounds and entertainment for the
children ended a very good day for Masonry.
125
DATA PROCESSING COMMITTEE REPORT
As indicated in my earlier report, prior to our committee
making any specific recommendations, regarding hardware or
software, I believe we need a management review of current
practices, and a sense of direction as to plans and programs
for the future.
We are in a "holding pattern" right now.
I can not say how long this "holding pattern" can be maintained before our options become more limited than they now are.
Once the management direction can be established, others
can more effectively evaluate budget constraints and recommend
alternatives.
Until then, my basic recommendations, covered
in great detail over a series of documents and reports over
the past year and a half, still holds.

Dear Brother Faciane;
I am pleased to report to you the completion of our TAKE STOCK IN YOUR
FUTURE program with the Masonic organisations of Louisiana for 1986-B7.
Thanks to the Masons of Louisiana, we were able to schedule fifteen
young men to a Leadership Conference this year.
All conference and travel fees were able to be paid for all fifteen of
these young men to the best site for our state to Texas at Baylor
University. They traveled by Greyhound bus to and from, the most
economical means we could find.
As the attached financial summary indicates, we came within 157. of our
actual costs, rather close for this project, and unfortunately in the
wrong direction. Luckily, however, there were monies remaining from
last pear's program that not quite made up the difference. Several of
our young men could not make it at the very last minute, due to the
tight financial conditions of their family. This also doubtless
explains the average contribution being down from our constituent lodges
this year (and the total **** was down, as well), doubtless for the same
reason.
126
It is the continuing participation and support of Louisiana Masonry that
has permitted this program to work successfully on the continuing basis
we have established. TAKE STOCK IN YOUR FUTURE may be a rallying cry
-for Louisiana Masonry. It is the results of that support that helps us
provide added education and improvement to the individual chapter
leadership.
For Louisiana DeMolay. we again thank you and your Family.

M:W: BROTHER LEWIS J. FACIANE
Wardens & Brethren:
The following Is the annual report of the activities of the
Masonic Service Field Agent at the VA Medical Center in Alexandria,
Louisiana for the year of 1987:
I am on my 21st year as the Masonic Service Representative at
this VA Hospital and pray that I will be able to serve many more
years.
During the year we attended several Masonic funerals and also
several veterans funerals that were not Masons, that passed away
in the hospital,
During the year we visited patients in the hospital that time
would allow. We furnished soft drinks for the patients tours and
assisted in taking patients to the Mardi Gras parade and furnished
some food.
Georgetown Lodge No. 298 donated $25.00 to the Hospital Recreation Fund. This is the only Lodge that donated this year.
We participated in the patients Carnival Days at the Hospital.
We assisted in the Flea Market Money Raising Project for the VAVS
fund and donated a 2 seater tricycle.
I still try to play dominoes
and games with patients as time
will allow. We cooperate with the Chief of Volunteer Service in
all his requests for assistance that time and funds will allow.
In closing, I would like to once again thank the Hospital
Director and his staff for their cooperation and assistance they
rendered me as a Masonic Service Field Agent,

This has been a rapid year in passage.
My main activity is visiting members in hospitals, homes,

As chances come, I collected clothes for the needy, and
canned foods when available at reduced costs. Most interesting

COMMITTEE FOR THE FEASIBILITY OF A LOUISIANA RESEARCH LODGE
TO THE MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER, GRAND LODGE OFFICERS, AND
MEMBERS OF THE LODGES OF LOUISIANA, FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS
Brethren:
The Special Committee assigned the task of studying the
feasibility of foraing a Research Lodge within Louisiana has
worked for three years. A draft set of By-Laws has been submitted, a list of fraternal correspondence has been initiated,
and a Resolution for establishing the Research Lodge has been
submitted. Louisiana Is one of the few Grand Jurisdictions
that does not have an established Research Lodge; and, this can
change at this Grand Communication with the passage of the Resolution calling for the establishment of a Research Lodge. It is
hoped that the delegates will look favorably upon the Resolution.
It has been a great honor to serve this Grand Lodge in this
project. With the support of Masonic scholars, history enthusiasts, and seekers of knowledge in Masonic literature, Louisiana
can enjoy the reputation of having a very fine Research Lodge
with a distinguished membership.
Our Grand Jurisdiction has many Masonic researchers; hopefully, all of them will gather and support this new project.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
Fraternally yours,
William J. Mollere, P.M.
Chairman, Special Committee

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON LODGE BUILDINGS
1987-1988
Activities of this Committee during the 1987-1988 fiscal
year consisted of reviewing plans for the following Lodges:
Fair Park Lodge No. 436, Shreveport, La.
Robeline Lodge No. 344, Robeline, La.
Please express our thanks to the Grand Master for the
opportunity of serving on this Grand Lodge Committee.
F. Darden, Chairman
Committee on Lodge Buildings
R:W: Brother Jack Crouch read the following:
On Resolution No. 1988-11. "Whereas: All of the statements of fact
listed in Resolution No. 1988-3 still apply, and
Whereas: The surplus funds which have been available for any shortfall
in the Grand Lodge Budget will be exhausted by the end of 1989, and
Whereas: The Board of Budget and Control is required by Louisiana
Be it resolved: That the monies allocated to mileage and per diem be
discontinued beginning at the 1990 Annual Grand Communication, if
Resolution No. 1988-3 fails to pass.
Brother E. Doyle Freeman, J.W. of Slidell Lodge No. 311 urged the
brethren to reconsider, as the $2.00 is desperately needed. He recommended that we reinstate proposition 3.
M:W: Brother Lewis J. Faciane, G.M. asked the brethren to vote on the
substitute motion, which required a two-thirds majority. The substitute
motion is to reconsider the $2.00. The votes were 361 to reconsider, and
239 not to reconsider. We needed 396 votes to reconsider. It was
defeated.
W: Brother James Bryant, P. M. (420) asked for a written ballot. Vote was
taken against having a written ballot.
Vote was taken and counted for cutting out the mileage and per diem.
There were 402 votes, which was more than the 2/3 votes needed.

W: Brother Larry Kennedy, P.M. (122), Chairman of the Credentials
Committee gave his final report. Brother Crouch moved that the report be
received and printed in the Proceedings. This was approved by Grand
Lodge.

M:W: Brother Thomas T. Elkins, P.G. M., Chairman of the Board of Budget
and Control referred to his report in the Advance Report. He recommended that his report be approved. This was approved.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF BUDGET AND CONTROL
The Board of Budget and Control herewith submits this report for
the 1988 Session of the Grand Lodge. Receipts for 1987 were below the
budget approved last year. There is another loss from dues collected
as we continue to lose in membership and degree fees. Our interest on
our funds and endowments continues at lower rates. We have lost over
4,500 members since 1981.
We have continued to exercise savings in purchasing, printing, and
supplies for our Lodges. We purchased a new copying machine for the
office for saving on our copy work.
The 1988 budget is presented for your consideration. It is about
$36,000 over the 1987 Budget. We felt it is time to make a cost of
living raise and adjustment in salaries for our employees.
If you approve, and we trust you will, these funds will not be
available until 1990. At a loss of over 900 members per year, and over
$23,000.00 per year in income, we must take action. The increase is,
truly needed.

To The Officers And Members
The Grand Lodge Of The State Of Louisiana,
F. & A. M.
We have examined the combined balance sheet of THE GRAND LODGE OF THE
STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A. M., comprised of the MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING, the
MASONIC CEMETERY, the GRAND LODGE OF .THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A. M., the
PARAPHERNALIA and LODGE EQUIPMENT DEPARTMENT, the BOARD OF CHARITIES AND
BENEVOLENCE, the SPECIAL PURPOSE FUND and the LOUISIANA FREEMASON at
December 31, 1987 and the related statements of operations and changes in
financial position for the year then ended.
Our examination was made in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly
included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly
the financial position of the Grand Lodge Of The State Of Louisiana, F. & A. M.
at December 31, 1987, and the results of its operations and the changes in its
financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the
preceding year.
We also examined the statement of receipts and expenditures of the Board
Of Charities And Benevolence and the Special Purpose Fund for the year ended
December 31, 1987.
137
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of receipts and expenditures
of the Board Of Charities And Benevolence and the Special Purpose Fund for
the year ended December 31, 1987 presents fairly the cash transactions
arising during the year then ended, on a basis consistent with that of the
preceding year.
Our examination was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The accompanying schedules C-l,
C,2, C-3, D-l, D-2, E-l, E-2, E-3, G-l and G-2 are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a- required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the examination of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion is
fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 1987
The financial statements of the Masonic Home for Children have been prepared on the accrual basis. The significant accounting policies followed
are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements
to the reader.
Fund accounting To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of
resources available to the organization, the accounts of the organization
are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. This
1s the procedure by which resources for various purposes are classified for
accounting and reporting purposes into funds established according to their
nature and purposes. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund;
however, in the accompanying financial statements, funds that have similar
characteristics have been combined into fund groups. Accordingly, all
financial transactions have been recorded and reported by fund group.
The assets, liabilities, and fund balances of the Masonic Home for Children
are reported in three self-balancing fund groups as follows:
Operating funds, which includes only unrestricted resources, represent
the portion of expendable funds that is available for support of
operations.
Plant funds represent resources restricted for fixed asset acquisitions
and funds expended for fixed assets.
Restricted funds represent funds that are subject to restrictions Imposed
either by the donor or the Board of Trustees.
Income tax status The Masonic Home for Children is an exempt organization under Section
501{c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The organization has no
unrelated business activities that would be subject to Income tax.
Donations other than cash Donations other than cash are recorded as income at an amount equal to the
fair market value of the gift on the date of the donation. Items, such as
stocks and bonds, held at the end of the organization's year are adjusted
to their respective fair market values on that date, in accordance with the
recommendations of the Accounting Standards Division of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (Statement of Position 78-10).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Other matters All gains and losses arising from the sale, collection, or other disposition of Investments and other noncash assets are accounted for in the fund
that owned the assets. Ordinary income from Investments 1s accounted for
1n the fund owning the assets. Ordinary income produced by assets owned by
the endowment fund is available for and transferred to operating funds.
2.
OTHER FUNDS:
The Masonic Home for Children is composed of several funds and related
organizations. The Endowment Fund is not included in these financial
statements. The Masonic Home Educational Foundation, Inc. is an organization related to the Masonic Home for Children. It has been noted in the
financial statements where transactions have occurred between funds or
affiliated organizations.

Historical costs were unavailable for assets acquired prior to December 1,
1972. These assets were capitalized at their estimated value on the date
of acquisition. Depreciation of fixed assets 1s provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
November 30, 1987
4.
UNCERTAINTY:
On July 19, 1986, the Board of Trustees of the Masonic Home for Children
adopted a resolution to establish a pension plan for Its employees. A plan
document has not been submitted to the Internal Revenue Service for approval as a qualified plan. The Board of Trustees has dedicated the amount of
$54,128 for use in funding the pension plan. Due to lack of sufficient
data, it is not possible at this time to determine whether this amount is
adequate to fund the pension obligation, nor to determine the actual liability associated with the pension plan. When the Board of Trustees adopts a
plan which conforms to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
it will then be possible to determine the liability for pension plan
benefits.
5.
EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN:
As discussed in Note 4 , the organization adopted a resolution to establish
a pension plan for i t s employees during the year ending December 3 1 , 1986.
This plan w i l l cover a l l f u l l - t i m e employees of the Masonic Home for
Children. At t h i s time, no provision has been made for pension plan
expense, but $54,128 has been dedicated to fund this plan, and t h i s amount
i s included in cash and c e r t i f i c a t e s of deposit of Restricted Funds.
6.
PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT:
The Masonic Home for Children has adopted Statement of Position 78-10 for
guidance in accounting policy. In previous periods, certain l i f e insurance
p o l i c i e s existed in which Masonic Home for Children was the owner and 1t
was t h e i r understanding that they were the beneficiary only. These p o l i cies are assets of the Masonic Home for Children and, beginning in the
current fiscal year, are reflected as such. The organization's balance
sheet has been adjusted retroactively to November 30, 1986. We are
currently unable to assess the effect of this change, i f any, on the financ i a l statements of that period.
7.
RESTRICTED ASSETS:
Certain assets held by the Masonic Home for Children at November 30, 1987
are restricted by the Board of Trustees. They include the cash and certificate of deposit set aside for the retirement plan, the cash surrender
value of life insurance, and the beneficiary interest in trust.

We have examined the financial statements of the Masonic Home for Children for

January 11, 1988. As part of our examination, we made a study and evaluation of
the organization's system of internal accounting control to the extent we considered necessary solely to determine the nature, timing, and extent of our
auditing procedures. Our study and evaluation was more limited than would be
necessary to express an opinion on the system of internal accounting control
taken as a whole, and we do not express such an opinion.
However, during our examination we became aware of certain matters that, while
not Involving material weaknesses in internal accounting control, are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency. The
following comments concern those weaknesses and other operational areas together
with suggested solutions for your consideration and possible implementation:
We continue to recommend the following:
It is our understanding that the Masonic Home for Children adopted a resolution
to establish a pension plan during the year ended November 30, 1986. After
examination of the plan, we have concluded that the provisions in the resolution may not be adequate to obtain approval as a qualified pension plan under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 which sets forth
requirements for retirement plans. We recommend that the Board of Trustees
adopt a plan that meets the aforementioned requirements.
We will be pleased to discuss these comments and our recommendation in further
detail at your convenience, to perform any additional study of these matters, or
to assist you in implementing the recommendations.

R:W: Brother Samuel M. Lewis, Jr., G.S.W., Grand Lodge of Florida,
brought greetings from his State in behalf of their Grand Master and the
80,000 Masons in Florida. He thanked Galileo-Mazzini Lodge No. 368 for
presenting the Fidelity Medal to his father, which made him very proud. He
invited the brethren to visit the Sunshine State. He is the Grand Representative of Louisiana and stated it was a privilege to be here at our Grand
Lodge and thanked the brethren.
M:W: Brother Byron L. Robb, P.G.M., Grand Lodge of Montana, spoke
and stated that he was considerably pleased and proud to be present at
Grand Lodge as Montana's representative to the Grand Lodge of
Louisiana. He enjoyed his visit with the brethren. He encouraged the
brethren to do what you can inyourown Lodge, and inthisGrand Lodge to
preserve and perpetuate Masonry. Not only to perpetuate it, but to
improve it when and where you can.
R:W: Jack Kelly, P.G.M., Grand Lodge of Texas, stated he was designated as a personal representative of the Grand Master of Texas. He gave
greetings of the 195,000 Masons from Texas. In August, M:W: Grand
Master, Lewis J. Faciane, accompanied with Illustrious D. Walter Jessen,
S.G.I.G., presented a new charter for the Grand Lodge of Texas. Brother
Kelly presented Brother Faciane with a souvenir plate that was specially
made to celebrate the 150th birthday of the Grand Lodge of Texas and also
a video tape of the dramatic presentation of the history of that Grand
Lodge. It is called "A Square, A Compass, A Star".
Grand Master Faciane called Brother Leslie Tanner to receive the plate
for the library.
W: Brother LeslieTanner, P.M. (190), Chairman of the Library Committee
received the plate. He thanked Brother Kelly for the plate and suggested
that he may have instigated more collections of Masonic material, which
would result in much eventual benefit to the Masons in Louisiana.
211
M:W: Brother James M. Walley, P.G.M., G.T., read the report of the
Chairman of the Masonic Law and Jurisprudence Committee, which is
printed in the Advance Report on pages 52-56. The Grand Master's
Report, which was referred to them was approved. The committee ruled
that the agreements, endorsements and sponsorships are prohibited and
in violation of the specific prohibition contained in the Handbook of
Masonic Law. Accordingly any such endorsements, sponsorships, or
agreementsshould be terminated and/or cancelled and not undertaken in
the future.
Brother Walley also referred to the resolutions received on time.
REPORT OF THE MASONIC LAW
AND JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE
(1987)
M.W. GRAND MASTER AND BRETHREN:
We, the Masonic Law & Jurisprudence Committee, report as
follows:
I.
With reference to those portions of the Grand Master's
address referred to this Committee, namely:
Building plans approved
Appointments during Year
By-Laws approved-disapproved
Permissions granted
Dispensations granted
Dispensations denied
Official acts
are all in accordance with Masonic Law and are approved.
II.
With reference to the Rulings, the Grand Master made the
following rule:
September 9, 1987-(Northeast Lodge #435)"In response to a request
from Northeast Lodge regarding a petition
from a blind man, I ruled that since the man
was self-sufficient, and gainfully employed,
Northeast Lodge could receive the petition of
Jeffrey Lynn Rainwater."
212
The committee reports that we have no specific provisions in
The Handbook of Masonic Law with reference to applications of
blind persons. The only provision which is applicable is found
in Article VI, of the General Regulations, page 29 of The Handbook of Masonic Law, and provides "....no Lodge shall receive
the application of one who cannot speak, understand, read and
write the language used by the Lodge to confer the degrees and
transact its business, nor of one mentally incapacitated or
seriously physically handicapped
"
Several Grand Jurisdictions have specific legislation
dealing with blind persons. Generally, the rule to be followed
is that if a person is legally blind, but not totally blind,
it lies within the discretion of the Grand Master to accept or
reject the applicant. The general purpose of our requirements
as contained in Article VI, General Regulations, is that an
applicant should be able to see and understand the ritual and
accordingly, should be able to speak, understand, read and write
the language used by the Lodge and should be able to recognize
or communicate any sign or symbol but if seriously physically
handicapped to the extent that this is not possible, by being
totally blind, then the application should not be received.
III.
EDICTS
During the year the Grand Master issued an Edict effective
October 13, 1987 in response to an amendment to the By-Laws
(Article XXIII, par. 3238, sub-sections (e) and (f) of the
Imperial Council of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of
the Mystic Shrine of North America) which was adopted and became effective on June 25, 1987 providing for an appeal to the
Imperial Council when a Noble (member of the Shrine) lo%t,*membership in a pre-reguisite Masonic body for any reason other
than non-payment of dues and if the appeal was sustained by
the Imperial Council, then the loss of membership in the prerequisite Masonic Body would not result in the Noble's loss of
membership in his Shrine Temple.
The Edict issued by the Grand Master sets forth and recognizes that The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, Free and
Accepted Masons, is the sole legal power of symbolic Masonry
and sovereign in the State of Louisiana, and so recognized by
all Masonic Grand Jurisdictions throughout the world and that
all true Masons within this Grand Jurisidiction owe obedience
to The Grand Lodge and are obligated to conform to every regulation and edict of The Grand Lodge, and further recognizes that
the amendment to the By-Laws of the Imperial Council, A.A.O.N.M.S.,
conflicts with and is repugnant to the Constitution and regulations of The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana as well as
the Principles of Freemasonry, and issued the edict which provides:
1.
Loss of membership in a constituent Lodge within this
Jurisdiction automatically results in the loss of membership in
any appendant, concordant, or related Masonic bodies or association, including the Shrine.
213
2.
Jerusalem Temple, El Karubah Temple, Habibi Temple, Barak
Temple and Acacia Temple, shall not permit a Shriner who is
under suspension or expulsion from any constituent Lodge, regardless of the reason therefor, to retain membership in the respective Temples or sit in a tiled meeting of the Temple.
3.
A Mason, within this Grand Jurisdiction, shall not sit in
a tiled Shrine meeting if there is present an individual who
has been suspended or expelled by a Lodge of any Grand Jurisdiction.
4.
No Mason shall engage in any Masonic relationship, business,
interchange, discourse, or Masonic communication, with any Shrine
Temple or any of its units, clubs or other organizations, if
the Temple permits a Mason who is suspended or expelled in this
or any other jurisdiction, to retain membership in the Temple.
Any violation of this Edict shall constitute unMasonic
conduct and subject the brother who violates the same to all
of the penalties of Masonic Law.
This Edict is in accordance with Masonic Law and is approved.
IV.
Recommendation and Sponsorship of Business Enterprise
During the calendar year 1987 the Grand Master of Masons
and The Grand Lodge of the state of Louisiana, F. 6 A.M., circulated written communications or information to the entire
membership of The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. & A.M.,
on stationery of The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana,
sponsoring, endorsing and recommending a trip handled by a
Travel Agency entitled "SPECTACULAR SCANDINAVIA", the letter
being signed by the Grand Master and recommending that the members
charge their reservation deposits to their American Express,
VISA, or MasterCard.
Secondly, the Grand Master of Masons and three Grand Lodge
Line Officers, signed a letter commitment with FIRST BANKCARD
CENTER, First National Bank of Commerce, wherein The Grand
Lodge of Louisiana, F. & A.M. became an "AFFINITY GROUP MEMBER"
in a credit card agreement, approved, endorsed and sponsored
by The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. & A.M.
Additionally, the membership of The Grand Lodge of the State of
Louisiana, F. & A.M. received a communication on the stationery
of The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, recommending this
credit card program to the membership.
214
This activity and agreement is in violation of a specific
prohibition contained in The Handbook of Masonic Law, page 72,
which provides:
"The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana does not
recommend, sponsor, or guarantee any life insurance
or any other business enterprise; nor does it take
or accept jurisdiction over contracts of any business nature entered into by another member of
the fraternity and any individual or institution."
(underscoring supplied).
The Committee rules that these agreements, endorsements
and sponsorships, are prohibited and in violation of the specific
prohibition contained in The Handbook of Masonic Law. Accordingly,
any such endorsements, sponsorship, or agreements should be terminated and/or cancelled and not undertaken in the future.
V.
With reference to the resolutions submitted, the Committee
recommends as follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 1988-1:
This resolution was not properly submitted and, therefore,
cannot be considered.
Additionally, this resolution, or the contents thereof,
was adopted in 1965.
This resolution provides for the annual commication of
The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. & A.M. to be held
in Alexandria, Louisiana, or some central location, in 1990.
This resolution seeks to increase the annual assessment
per member by $2.00 for Grand Lodge assessment making a total
of $7.50.
This resolution attempts to provide an exception to the
rule that an applicant for Masonry be a resident of the State
of Louisiana for the twelve months preceding his application.
The purpose of the exception is to make it convenient for an
individual, and perhaps only one person, who resides outside of
the State of Louisiana, but near or on the border, has children
in the State of Louisiana, and perhaps a business in the State
of Louisiana.
The Committee is against this proposed resolution.
215
This resolution would amend Article VI, Section 10, General
Regulations, to require a two-third majority vote for purposes
of affiliation, instead of the "unanimous" vote now required.
The Committee is against this resolution.
This resolution relates to the insurance problem and suggests that the Grand Master develop a continuing communication
with the Louisiana Rating Commission in an effort to secure a
favorable rate classification.
This resolution contains no more than a suggestion for the
Grand Master and contains nothing to be voted upon.
This resolution seeks to amend Article I, Section 1, General
Regulations, to change the annual Grand Communication to the
first Monday in March of each year.
This resolution seeks to amend Article VIII, Section 1,
of the Constitution, to make the exemption from the payment of
dues, fees or assessments to The Grand Lodge by a fifty year
member permissive, rather than mandatory and the fifty year
member must notify the secretary that he desires to take advantage of the exemption.
The Committee has no objection to this resolution except
that the resolution should have a grandfather clause so that it
applies equally to those who have previously become fifty year
members.
This resolution creates a new Section 11, under Article XI,
of the General Regulations to provide for a Research Lodge for
The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana.
This resolution seeks to amend and re-enact Article VII,
General Regulations, Handbook of Masonic Law, in its entirety
providing for trials, punishments and appeals.
This resolution was not properly signed when submitted,
as required by The Handbook of Masonic Law, and cannot be considered unless received by The Grand Lodge in annual communication.
216
If this resolution is received in annual communication,
your Committee is against the same inasmuch as it places the
original jurisdiction for all trials in The Grand Lodge of the
State of Louisiana. It refers to the office of Judge Advocate,
but it does not create the office nor set forth the qualifications and without the same, this amendment would be totally
inoperative.
Other members of this Committee are:
M.W. Grover L. Covington, P.G.M.
M.W. James M. Walley, P.G.M.

INDEX
CONDENSED DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIOUS RESOLUTIONS
PRESENTED AT THE 1988 GRAND LODGE COMMUNICATION
RESOLUTION No. 1988 - 1:
This resolution was not properly submitted and, therefore, could not be considered.
This resolution provides forthe annual communication of The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana. F.
& A.M. to be held in Alexandria. Louisiana, or some central location, in 1990. (APPROVED)
RESOLUTION No. 1988-3:
This resolution seeks to increase the annual assessment per member by $2.00 for Grand Lodge
assessment making a total of $7.50. (DISAPPROVED)
RESOLUTION No 1988-4:
This resolution attempts to provide an exception to the rule that an applicant for Masonry be a resident
of the State of Louisiana for the twelve months preceding his application. The purpose of the exception is
to make it convenient for an individual, and perhaps only one person, who resides outside of the State of
Louisiana, but near or on the border, has children in the State of Louisiana, and perhaps a business in the
State of Louisiana. (DISAPPROVED)
This resolution would amend Article VI, Section 10, General Regulations, to require a two-thirds
majority vote for purposes of affiliation, instead of the "unanimous" vote now required.
(DISAPPROVED)
This resolution relates to the insurance problem and suggests that the Grand Master develop a continuing communication with the Louisiana Rating Commission in an effort to secure a favorable rate
classification.
This resolution contains no more than a suggestion for the Grand Master and contains nothing to be
voted upon. (NO ACTION NEEDED)
This resolution seeks to amend Article I, Section 1, General Regulations, to change the annual Grand
Communication to the first Monday in March of each year. (DISAPPROVED)
RESOLUTION No 1988 - 8:
This resolution seeks to amend Article VII I, Section 1, of the Constitution, to make the exemption from
the payment of dues, fees or assessments to the Grand Lodge by a fifty year member permissive rather
than mandatory and the fifty year member m ust notify the secretary that he desires to take advantage of
the exemption, was amended to state all 50 year members be notified that they can voluntarily pay their
dues if they so desire, and would apply equally to those who have previously become fifty year members.
(PASSED AS AMENDED)
This resolution creates a new Section 11, under Article XI, of the General Regulations to provide for a
Research Lodge for The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana. (DISAPPROVED)
This resolution would provide for the Permanent Committee on Work to have an apron designed and
approved by the Grand Lodge for their use. (APPROVED)
RESOLUTION No. 1988-11
This resolution specified that the monies allocated to mileage and per diem be discontinued beginning at the 1990 Annual Grand Communication, if Resolution 1988-3 fails to pass. (APPROVED)
