In the East

Greetings Brothers, it looks like things

are starting to slowly get back to normal. We

have received authorization from the Grand

Master to resume meeting again. Our first

meeting will be the Family Dinner on 15 June

2020. Please RSVP our Junior Warden or

Chef Deb if you plan to attend so they will

know how many meals to prepare.

Per the Grand Masters directive we will

be following CDC guidelines for our meetings.

There will be hand sanitizing stations at the

desk at the front door and the Tyler’s desk. If

anyone wishes to wear a mask they are free to

do so but it is not mandatory (provide your

own mask). Anyone who is sick, does not feel

well, or is uncomfortable coming to lodge at

this time please stay home. Use your best

judgement your brothers will be waiting when

it is time for you to return.

Remember to check the Venice Lodge

Facebook page for updates. The officer’s post

any information they believe is useful to the

members so check it regularly for updates.

Our three Entered Apprentices will be

giving back their proficiency at our June meet-

ing so if anyone would like to volunteer to

help with the upcoming Fellow Craft degree

see our lodge instructor, JW Justin Broome to

sign up.

Congratulations to our Chaplain R:.W:.

Lou Ortt, who will be starting his new position

as District Deputy Grand Master. R:.W:. Ortt

and his committeemen will be holding their

official visit at our next meeting so come out

and meet everyone.

Great news brothers, the City of Venice

has agreed to the terms to lease our second

parking lot as a temporary Fire Station until

theirs is completed. This is the arrangement

started by Worshipful Adam Kendall last year

it just took a little time to finalize everything.

The wheels of government move slowly.

Toale Brothers Funeral Home has graciously

agreed to allow our lodge members the use of

their parking lot as overflow parking if needed

while the Fire Department is occupying ours.

Babe’s Hardware is also allowing the use of

their parking lot after hours.

Masonic Quote of the Month: “We Ma-

sons are among the fortunate ones who are

taught to meet together with others opposing

convictions or competitive ideas and yet re-

spect each other as Brothers.” Brother Albert

Pike, Western Star Lodge No. 2, Little Rock

Arkansas. 1850.

Venice Lodge No. 301 will be hosting

the next Master Mason Association meeting on

25 June 2020, 6:45 p.m. with the school of in-

struction following at 7:30 p.m. All Master

Masons are welcome to attend and join in the

conversation. Come out and get to know some

of your brothers from the other lodges in our

district. It’s always a fun time and our JW

Justin (Judd) Broome will have some type of

refreshment prepared. Hope to see you there.

Fraternally,

John R. Brandon, Worshipful Master

RITUALS

by R. W. Bro. O. P. Thomas 1969 Masonry has several different ways of working. This is sometimes confusing to a visitor, yet the essen-tials are universally the same. This divergence arises from many causes or reasons apparent in its development form an Operative Craft to a Speculative Institution.

Some writers assert the oldest account of Masonic ceremony is that of a ritual being prepared by Elias Ashmole, a celebrated antiquarian at Oxford in the 17th century, which was adopted by the Lodges in England This is disputed by others.

What the old ceremony was we do not know, but it is claimed by recognized authority that it consisted of only one form, and that the designations "Entered Apprentice," "Fellow Craft" and "Master Mason" were simply the names of the different classes of workmen, and did not refer to different ceremonies, as there was but one - that of initiation.

Who divided the old ceremony into three is not known, but that they were extant in London in 1725 is well established.

The rivalry among the Free Masons in England, 1717 to 1813, was the principal cause of different cer-emonial, and led to non-intercourse between the Lodges.

The Grand Lodge of England and the Grand Lodge of the Ancients had each their own particular way of working. The Masons in Ireland and Scotland had each their own methods. They were all active n spread-ing Free Masonry to the Continent and the Colonies of America, and naturally there followed divergence in Masonic instruction.

In the latter part of the 18th century, and near its close, another addition was made to Masonic ritual-ism in America by John Hamer and Thomas Smith Webb. The former was an English Free Mason who came to America in 1793. Thomas Smith Webb was a bookbinder, made a Mason in "Rising Sun Lodge," New Hampshire, in 1790, when 19 years of age; initiated December 24th and passed and raised on December 27th. For such procedures, the Lodge lost its Charter.

In 1796, when "Temple Lodge" at Albany, N.Y. was instituted, John Hamer was W.M., and Thomas Smith Webb the S.W. These men took the Prestonian Lectures, which had later come out from England, and, further dramatized them, formulating what they called the "York Rite", taking the name from the Grand Lodge of the Ancients, which at that time assumed the title, "Ancient York Rite Masons." This is generally called by well informed Masons, the "Webb Work." Hughan, writing of the term, "York Rite" says: "There is no such Rite, and what it was no one knows."

If, by the Term "York Rite" is meant the work of the "Grand Lodge of England," organized at York in 1751, then the ceremonies of the Masons under the Grand Lodge of England at London is York Masonry. Hughan, Sadler and Oliver said that the work of the Grand Lodge at York was similar to the London Grand Lodge.

The Webb work cannot consistently be called the American work, as rituals of many of the States dif-fer from each other materially.

At the union of the English Grand Lodges in 1813, the rituals of both were abolished, and a new ritual formulated called "The Union Degrees". These are not strictly followed, as in England is the "Oxford Ritual," the "West End Working" and others. Scotland is different, and Ireland shows a wide divergence from both.

It is not likely there ever will be a universal manner of working, though it might well be the same in any one particular jurisdiction of a Grand Lodge.

SUPPORT MASONIC YOUTH

Each year, the Grand Lodge of Florida strikes brass and silver coins with the

Most Worshipful Grand Master's likeness on the obverse side, and the Grand

Lodge of Florida seal on the reverse side. These coins

are presented in every District by the Chairman of

Masonic Youth Coins for purchase by the Craft.

The proceeds from the sale of the Grand Master's

Coins contributes directly the Florida Masonic Youth

Charities, a non-profit or-

ganization under the

Grand Lodge of Florida,

the sole purpose of which is to fund all Masonic

Youth activities within the Grand Jurisdiction.

Masonic Youth groups are the future of our Fra-

ternity, and depend on these contributions to fund

such youth activities as installations, group meet-

ings, group social events, and general expenses of

particular chapters.
