Editorial
by R.W. Br. Dudley Fraser
Every so often a shot in the arm is needed to awaken our membership and our Lodges. All too often we seem to slip into a "safe mode" and let things happen that slowly erode our Order. We are all concerned about an aging membership and lack of growth. And, certainly, we should be. But, how often do any of us take the "bull by the horns" and do something about it.

Profundities of the Grand Master
by M.W. Br. John A. Prosnick
St. George's Lodge No. 10 (October 11th):

Perserverance
We must not hope to be mowers,
And to gather the ripe gold ears,
Unless we have been sowers,
And watered the furrows with tears.

It is not just as we take it,
This mystical world of ours,
Life's field will yield as we make it,
A harvest of thorns or flowers.

I See You've Travelled Some
by Unknown (Submitted by R.W. Br. Jules Wood)
Wherever you may chance to be--Wherever you may roam,
Far away in foreign places; Or just at Home Sweet Home;
It always gives you pleasure, it makes your heart strings hum
Just to hear the words of cheer,
I see you travelled some.

The Masonic Ring
by Br. Michael A. Srampe
Those men who help my dad each day,
They wear those mason rings.
A Square and Compass set in gold,
The praise of which I sing.

Thinking Outside the Box
by R.W. Br. Stephen Roberts
The report given by, V.Wor. Bro. Cliff Parfett and present to the Board of General Purposes, a copy of which you can read in this paper, is a well thought out working document. It clearly points out the problems facing the Masonic Foundation concerning the upkeep of the building we know as Grand Lodge. The problems facing the structure of the building and the expenses over the next 5 years is clear and plain. The report also offers possibilities in which this money can be raised. Am I the only one who is skeptical?
