WORSHIPFUL MASTER’S MESSAGE
WORSHIPFUL BROTHER MICHAEL R PINO
Brethren,
I would like to thank the Brethren
who traveled with me last month. There is nothing more gratifying as
Worshipful Master than to have the support of your Officers and
Brethren when you travel.
It was disconcerting to see just
three Williamstown Lodge members participate in the ARC walk
at Washington Lake Park on Saturday, May 15. This was a statewide
project sponsored by the Grand Lodge. Brethren, this was in our back
yard!
As our labors come to a close for
the first half of the year, I wish you a safe, restful and happy
summer with family and friends.
LODGE; Webster defines a
lodge as the meeting place of a branch of certain fraternal
organizations.
LODGE; Dictionary of Symbolic
Masonry (1853) defines it as “Three well informed brethren form a
legal lodge, five improve it, and seven make it perfect.
The earliest description of a
lodge explains it as being just and perfect by the numbers three,
five and seven. This was subsequently exemplified in the following
prescribed form. A lodge of Masons is an assemblage of brothers and
fellows met together for the purpose of expatiating on the mysteries
of the Craft, with the Bible, square and compasses, the Book of
Constitutions, and the warrant empowering them to act. In the
formula used at the present day, a further amplification has been
adopted. It is here denominated an assembly of Masons, just,
perfect, and regular, who are met together to expatiate on the
mysteries of the Order; just, because it contains the volume of the
Sacred Law unfolded; perfect, from its numbers, every order of
Masonry being virtually present by its representatives, to ratify
and confirm its proceedings; and regular, from its warrant of
constitution, which implies the sanction of the Grand Master, for
the country where the lodge is held.”
Fraternally: Michael R. Pino,
Worshipful Master
