Thinking Outside the Box
by R.W. Bro. Stephen Roberts

The one day class held on March 4th at Harmony Hall was a success with 38 candidates receiving their third degree. To the Lodges, Officers, and Organizers who had the foresight to bring about this historic day congratulations are in order.

I hope that you also have the foresight to continue with these candidates. These candidates are the future of our lodges and should be treated as such. No only is getting your 3 degrees important but understanding what we are all about is equally important. I believe it is the duty of every lodge to assign a coach or mentor to all young masons; one person that is qualified to answer their questions and coach them in lodge protocol.

Histoire et signification du Premier Degré
by/par T.V. Fr. Jacques Ruelland
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
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 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?
