The Masonic Blue Slipper
by/par Br. Clyde H. Magee
Are you familiar with the Masonic blue slipper?

It is a small lapel pin in the shape of a blue slipper. Over the years it has been my habit to ask my wife and my daughters to wear one of these slippers on a coat or dress when traveling alone away from home.

What is the meaning of this blue slipper and why should female relatives of Masons wear one?

Histoire et signification du Premier Degré
by/par T.V. Fr. Jacques Ruelland
à la Loge Jean T. Désaguliers no 138 (G.R.Q.), M.A.F. & A. 12 janvier 6006 (A.L.)

L'histoire de la Maçonnerie symbolique est jusqu'à un certain point celle de principes et non de formes, de règles ou de coutumes rigides. Les cérémonies maçonniques ont varié au fil du temps, tant dans leur contenu que dans leurs formes. Le corps de la Maçonnerie est demeuré intact, mais son éthique et certains de ses éléments constitutifs ont, selon les circonstances, modifié, étendu ou altéré les coutumes.

History and Meaning of the First Degree
by/par T.V. Fr. Jacques Ruelland
Delivered to la Loge Jean T. Désaguliers no 138 (G.R.Q.), M.A.F. & A. January 12th, 6006 (A.L.)

The history of symbolic Masonry is to some extent one of principles rather than of forms, regulations and rigid custom. There have been times when the ceremonies of advancement in Freemasonry have varied – and that both in matter and in manner. The body of Masonry has been kept intact, but the ethics, and other considerations of circumstance and condition, have modified, or extended, or altered customs to a great degree.

The Origins of Freemasonry
by/par T.V. Fr. Jacques Ruelland
The following was delivered to John T. Gladston Lodge # 102 (G.R.Q.) A.F. & A.M. on May 10, 6004 (A.L.)

For centuries the brotherly message of the Freemasonry finds an echo in the heart of millions of men; those who aspire to an existence that is more enlightened by the spirit and to a personal quest open to the other person and to the world and free from the weight of systems; those also who experience the sentiment that their personal search should be less uncertain if it planted itself in a brotherly community, can find in the Order an ideal place to live and express their feelings.

The Master Chooses An Apprentice
by/par T.V. Fr. Richard Laframboise
Presented to Laurentide Lodge on November 9th, 2000.

A few months ago, (don't all sermons begin this way), a brother made me realize that even religious organizations are losing their members, that many churches are deserted, and, that certain churches have even hired real estate agents in order to find eventual buyers for their estate.

Le Maître
se choisit un apprenti
by/par T.V. Fr. Richard Laframboise
Donné à la Loge Laurentide, Jeudi le 9 Novembre 2000.

Il y a quelques mois - tous les sermons ne commencent-ils pas de cette façon - un frère me faisait remarquer que même les religions commençaient à manquer de clients et de fidèles, que les églises étaient désertes et que certaines avaient été confiées à des agents d'immeubles afin de trouver des acheteurs éventuels.
