Junior Warden's Corner
Brethren, Another big weekend in store for us. It's time to honor those who selfishly place their lives in danger for us. I'm talking about the Firefighters of Globe/Miami. We have wanting to do this for a long time, as long as we have been honoring our Law Enforcement but they did not want to single out an individual to honor each year since they are a cohesive organization that relies on each other to act as a team. So, our Master decided that we will honor them as a team and invite them to lunch in their honor. Please come down to the lodge for lunch so we can show our appreciation for their sacrifices. One other items we plan to do is place jars in various business that will allow us to allow the community to support our Cloth-A-Child program. This program, which originally was started by the Shrine, was adopted by the lodge and we help deserving children get a new set of clothes for Christmas. The children are selected by the school officials based on their need. We did this last year based on donations and we thought that this is a way to let others know the types of programs we have to help the community and allow them help us. Donations are tax deductible if checks are made out to the lodge and designated for our charity fund. Please look for the jars or send donations to the lodge.
Bill Greenen, JW |

Something to Think About
What is the importance of the EAST in Masonry?
The camp of Judah was placed by Moses in the East as a mark of distinction; the tabernacle in the wilderness was placed due East and West; and the practice was continued in the erection of Christian churches. Hence, too, the primitive Christians always turned toward the East in their public prayers, which custom Saint Augustine (Serm. Dom. in Monte, chapter 5 accounts for "because the East is the most honorable part of the world, being the region of light whence the glorious sun arises." Hence all Masonic Lodges, like their great prototype the Temple of Jerusalem, are built, or supposed to be built, due East and West; and as the North is esteemed a place of darkness, the East, on the contrary, is considered a place of light.
In the primitive Christian church, according to Saint Ambrose, in the ceremonies that accompanied the baptism of a catechumen, a beginner in religious instruction, "he turned towards the West, the image of darkness, to abjure the world, and towards the East, the emblem of light, to denote his alliance with Jesus Christ." And so, too, in the oldest lectures of the second century ago, the Freemason is said to travel from the West to the East, that is, from dark ness to light. In the Prestonian system, the question is asked, "What induces you to leave the West to travel to the East?" And the answer is: "In search of a Master, and from him to gain instruction." The same idea, if not precisely the same language, is preserved in the modern and existing rituals.
The East, being the place where the Master sits, is considered the most honorable part of the Lodge, and is distinguished from the rest of the room by a dais, or raised platform, which is occupied only by those who have passed the Chair.
