OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 11
Most Worshipful Grand Master, Most Worshipful Sirs, Right WorshipfulSirs, Distinguised Guests, Ladies, Families, and Friends:
Having opened our Grand Lodge meeting and having received impor-tant groups and individuals we are about to begin the important businessfor which we have assembled. But, before doing so we have set aside thisbeginning time, in accordance with the custom of this Grand Lodge formany years, to hold a memorial service for the masons of our Grand Juris-diction who have departed our midst in this masonic year and to specifi-cally remember again those dear ones out of sight but never out of mindwho have added so much to our lives and to the history of our Fraternity.Freemasonry is not merely the oldest and largest and most unique organ-ization on earth, but it is the most universal and inclusive, counting not onlymember brethren throughout the globe at present, but that long list ofbuilders and craftsmen who having left our immediate presence are stillmuch with us in spirit and example, already members of that universalcelestial Grand Lodge which we are all continuing our earthly pilgrimage.
It is the wish of ourGrandMasterthatwe again observe this in memoriamwhich like all of masonry and life is at best an inadequate symbol of thedeep love and attachment that will always bind brother masons withimmortal ties too strong to break and tears too expressive for words.
Our text from the great light is Psalm 103.Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, who forgives allyour iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems you from the pit,who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with goodas long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.
The Lord works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed. Hemade known His ways to Moses, His acts to the people of Israel. The Lordis merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.He will not always chide, nor will He keep His anger forever. He does notdeal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to ouriniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth so great is Hissteadfast love toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from thewest so far does He remove our transgressions from us. As a father pitieshis children so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame,He remembers that we are dust. As for man His days are like grass, Heflourishes like a flower of the field; forthe wind passes over it, and it is gone,and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the Lord is fromeverlasting to everlasting upon those whofear Him, and His righteousnessto children's children to those who keep His covenant and remember to doHis commandments. The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,and His kingdom rules overall. Bless the Lord Oyou His angels, you mightyones who do His word, hearkening to the voice of His word. Bless the Lordall his hosts, His ministers that do His will. Bless the Lord all His works, in allplaces of His Dominion. Bless the Lord, O My Soul!
12 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE
Dear Friends, the most beautiful fact in masonry is that it fully relies ondivine intervention in important and meaningful times of our living of thesedays. Let us therefore look to the throne of grace again for our praise toHim and instruction and power to follow Him.(RAPS 3)
O thou from whom all blessing flow and to whom all hearts withreverence humbly bow, we praise and adore Thy holy name for the greatgift of life in Thy presence, for family, friends, for brotherhood, for thecement of love that unites all into one common mass, for Thy providentialcare, for Thy forbearance of ourfailures, for good and wholesome work andleisure, for masonic light and knowledge, for inspiration and grace to seeThy mighty works, and for the sure promise of immortality to Thy children.
This morning our souls unite in prayer for those whom we have loveddeeply and lost for a season, for their dear families, and for their aggrievedfriends. May Thy peace and comfort be upon them during this difficult timeof adjustment. Reassure them of your marvelous, untiring love that neverlets us go.
Lastly, our Father, we thank Thee that death is merely a short part of lifeand thoroughly under your control, that we celebrate today the lives ofthose who now triumphantly reign with Thee, and we celebrate and rejoicein our lives, and the lives of each other. On this day we celebrate again thevictorious homegoing of our brethren, of their release from pain, and oftheir completion of that earthly tabernacle and their daily labors, and nowtheir glorious entry into the celestial holy of holies prepared for Thy faithfulfollowers from the foundation of the world. In all of these things wecelebrate the glory and greatness and wonder of our heavenly Father towhom be now and evermore all praise and glory, to the honor andperfection of Thy holy name. Amen.(Song By Mike Rooney)
This year like others has seen the passing of hundreds of masons fromour ranks. Many have distinguished themselves as leaders in masonry, inbusiness, in community life, in charities, and in religion. All have proudlyworn the square and compasses in honor to the fraternity and themselves.Lives have been enriched and enlightened by theirdedicated lives. Heartshave been touched, examples set, and history written. Each life wasprecious to us and we will never let it go.
All were great in their own way, contributing to the continuing life werepresent here today. Collectively and individually all are entitled to ourpraise and eternal gratitude. The Grand Lodge family suffered the loss oftwo mighty among us. Most Worshipful Bro. L.V. Noles, Past Grand Masterwho literally gave his life to masonry, education, his religion, and hisfriends, and Most Worshipful Bro. Gov. Robert Kennon, Former LouisianaGovernor and devoted Mason. In addition to the brothers who passedaway this year we remember and honor those of past years, onwhose foundation we still build. And we remember and honor Masons of
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 13
other jurisdictions and nations with whom we share so much so deeply. Inthis time of memorial we feel the presence of the unseen who like electri-city, gravity, and sound are all around us and part of us. We realize thatsuch things as love, prayer, character, honor, and truth are the reallypermanent things and that oceans, mountains, and dynasties are im-permanent and will pass away and become unreal. Blessed in the sight ofthe Lord are the death of His saints, who having been created, sustained,and saved are loved and justified forever.
That not a worm is cloven in twainor but subserves anothers gain
that not one life shall be destroyedor cast as rubbish to the void
till God hath made the pile complete.
No, brethren and friends, God has not put immortality into our hearts tomock us. It is written: eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither haveentered into the heart of man, thethings which God hath prepared forthemthat love Him.
Worshipful Bro. Larry Kennedy will now present the special memorial toMost Worshipful Bro. L.V. Noles. (Followed by rose presentation). MostWorshipful Bro. Dave Hartman will present a special memorial to MostWorshipful Bro. Governor Robert Kennon -- Let us arise and humblyapproach the divine throne of grace.
O thou without whose knowledge not a sparrow falls, look kindly uponthose who honor Thee as the Lord of life and master of death. Our timesand lives are in Thy hands, who faileth not and lieth not. We pray that thissimple memorial servicewill not be wordsalone but will be usefultoTheeinbuilding Thy kingdom; that Thy name herewith will be hallowed, Thy holywill be done, and Thy precious kingdom come, now and forever, in us andthrough us, or yet despite us, fully, finally, and perfectly till the earth will befilled with Thy glory as the waters cover the sea, and all flesh and Thy holyangels will shout aloud the truth: For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.Hallelujah. Amen.

While in theUniversity, he received the Alumni Award for the best scholastic record inthe institution. He was interested in college athletics for he was a tennischampion and earned a Varsity letter in football.
In 1923 he was commissioned in the Reserve Corps of the United StatesArmy, and in 1925 was made Captain of the Louisiana National GuardCompany at Minden.
Brother Kennon began the practice of law in his home city and during hisfirst year out of Law School was chosen Mayor of the City of Minden at the

age of twenty three. In 1930 he was elected District Attorney for theWebster Bossier District and in 1936 he was nominated for a second termwithout opposition.
In 1931 he married Eugenia Sentell who survives him along with theirthree sons, Robert F. Kennon, Jr. and Dr. Charles S. Kennon, both of BatonRouge and Kenneth Wood Kennon of St. Francisville. He is survived alsoby a brother George in Monroe and by five grandchildren.
Former Governor Kennon led Louisiana from 1952 to 1956 and was anorth Louisiana resident when elected. He stayed in Baton Rouge topractice law after his term as Governor ended. His accomplishments inState Government were many. He was often called "Judge" and preferredit in later life because, he said, it was Jess cumbersome then "Governor".He was elected to a twelve year term on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal in1940, but did not begin his term until 1945 after he returned from militaryservice in World War II.
He was federalized as a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander ofartillery with the Louisiana National Guard in 1941 and was a colonel,general staff corps, U.S. Army Reserve, at the end of the war. He served inthe 9th Army in England, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
After being discharged, he returned to the bench in June of 1945. Fourmonths later, the State Supreme Court selected him to fill the unexpiredterm of Justice Archie T. Higgins. He served there until January 1947,when he returned to the appellate court.
Though still young, Brother Kennon "travelled" extensively as a Masonand had manifested proficiency in the work. He was made an EnteredApprentice Mason while yet a student in the University in 1923. In 1929 hewas made the Master of Minden Lodge and again in 1931. Brother Kennonhas been High Priest of his Chapter, Illustrious Master of his Council andCommander of Crusader Commandery No. 21. Brother Kennon receivedthe distinct honor from his brethren by being elected Grand Master in1936. He received the honor of the 33rd Degree in 1963.

WHEN THE CURTAIN FALLS
When through our tears of sorrowWe see a curtain fall
And know a dearly loved oneHas gone beyond our call
We must have faith and confidenceIn God and in his way
For He will raise the curtainOn a fairer scene someday.

OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 31
Address of Grand Master
To the Officers and Members of The Most Worshipful Grand L odge Of The State OfLouisiana, Free and Accepted Masons.
It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to Baton Rouge for the One Hundred andSeventy-Seventh Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge.
I want to welcome our out-of-state guests. We hope you enjoy our Louisianahospitality. Anything we can do to make your stay here more pleasurable, pleaselet us know.
To serve as Grand Master has been most exciting and rewarding. Thank you, myBrothers, for giving me that honor.
As I traveled across the state, to other states and even other countries, I becamemore convinced that as Masons we are different. We are committed to excellencein our lives and we are not willing to compromise ourselves for the sake of popular-ity. As Masons we spend our life-time affirming our beliefs in moral conduct,brotherhood and compassion. We do it for the honor of human spirit. Freemasonryis a complete moral system tightly and warmly enveloped in the cocoon of theMasonic Fraternity.
I have reached the conclusion that Masonic education must be an ongoing partof every Masonic gathering, not necessarily a program, but an activity in the life ofthe lodge.
In the turmoil of this modern world, Masonry is a spiritual Oasis where we can putaway our daily situations and think about humanity, about the fraternity of menunder the auspices of the Grand Architect of the Universe.
Masonry teaches us just as God commanded "Love One Another". First, we mustfind God, we must love Him with all our being. Secondly, in that love of God we mustfashion our lives by works of friendships, compassion, understanding, and selfgiving. Without brotherly love, peace and harmony cannot prevail.
I cannot leave this office without expressing my concern about the decrease inmembership. I am also concerned about the lack of attendence. I think bothproblems can be solved by continuing education. Solicitation of any profane forthedegrees of Masonry is prohibited, but "There is no objection to a neutrally wordedapproach being made to a man who is considered to be a suitable candidate forMasonry. After the procedure for obtaining membership in a Lodge is explainedthe potential candidate must be left to make his own decision and come of his ownfree will".
In these difficult days of labor layoffs, dismissals and lower take home pay, it isessential that we be much more careful in suspending a Brother without obtainingall the facts. Charity through our remission of dues may be a very real assist to someof our brothers in their temporary time of need.
I would also suggest that every lodge give consideration to adopting a "mentor"or "buddy" system so that every new Mason would have a brother invite him to allLodge functions. He would have a brother to guide and encourage him. I am sureattendance would increase.
Another way to see that our lodges continue to grow and prosper is to see that theGrand Lodge has enough money to continue to operate. It is important that weincrease our annual assessment to seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50). Eachdelegate has a chance to make or break this great fraternity.
32 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE
This Grand Master is at the end of his term of service to the Grand Lodge ofLouisiana. It has been a happy year. My Grand Lodge Officers have been terrific.Howwellthey demonstrate thatservice truly is love made visible. Thankyou, GrandLodge Officers for making my year a truly good year. My thanks go to the PastGrand Masters for their guidance and advice. I also want to thank the lodges fortheir hospitality and kindness when we made our visits.
In closing, let us all look to the future with hope founded on the knowledge thatwhat we are and what we stand for is needed in our time as it has never beenneeded before. Let us all continue to labor in the quarries of Freemasonry joyfully,with fervency, and with zeal, forming our lives for the Master Builders use withsquare, level and plumb.
For the lack of understanding others have of our Fraternity, each one of us sharethat responsibility. If we fail to let the world know what we stand for, we areimposing upon ourselves and out Fraternity more years of unfounded criticism.Remember also "By their deeds ye shall know them."
NECROLOGY
The Supreme Architect of the Universe has seen fit to remove from us MostWorshipful L.V. Noles. Brother Noles was Grand Master in 1963. We mourn thepassing of our Beloved Brother and offer our sincere sympathy to his wife,Gertrude, and his many close friends.
We also mourn the passing of many other Masonic brethren who have departedthis world. May God's blessings be with them. Appropriate memorial services willbe conducted by the Necrology Committee for our departed brethren.
STATE OF THE ORDER
This year a few problems arose among the brethren in some of the Lodges, lamhappy to report that most of the problems were solved. They were solved becausethe Masons in the State of Louisiana honor the traditions which give guidance anddirections for living. Charles Dickens wrote "It is the nature of things that man cannot really improve himself without in some degree improving other men." If we asMasons remember this, we can only continue to grow. I am not talking numbers, Iam talking character. What we do today as Masons to build a better world will bereturned many fold to our children and to all mankind.

MASONIC HOME FOR CHILDREN
The Grand Master's Homecoming was held on Sunday, May 17, 1987, at theMasonic Home for Children. The highlight of the day was the performance of thechildren. When we see these beautiful children, how can we help but understandwhy Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is thekingdom of God."
My son, Rev. John Paul Faciane, brought the message. I was very proud of him.He closed his message by reminding the Brethren of their charitable obligation tocontinue support of the Children's Home.
To R:W: Brother Eugene Love, Grand Senior Warden, and his committee, go mygratitude and appreciation for their loving efforts to make this event such a tre-mendous success.
We are grateful to Brother Harold Moye and his staff for the love and care theygive the children in our home. The Masons brought love gifts totalling $11,280.78.
The Order of Eastern Star held its Annual Pilgrimage to the Masonic Home onSeptember 27,1987. We are grateful for their continued support. This year, underthe leadership of Sister Ruth Spoffard, Grand Worthy Matron, The Eastern Starcontributed $10,210.71 to the Masonic Home.
MASONIC HOME EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
The Masonic Home Educational Foundation continues to be supported by thefreewill contributions. We can only use the interest from the funds which wereceive. Interest rates are still low, and we can not help as many students as wewould like. This committee has continued to serve our Fraternity well and weexpress our appreciation to them for a job well done.
MASONIC HOME ENDOWMENT FUND
The Masonic Home Endowment Fund has the goal of reaching each Mason inthe .penny-a-day program to raise the $2,000,000 to make the Home self-supporting. The Chairman, Most Worshipful Brother E.R. Minchew, P.G.M., sent aletter out to each member in our jurisdiction and will file a full report for thisprogram.

Thank you Brothers for a job well done.
FIDELITY MEDAL
Now that the medals are in, we can go along with this program. I was a visitor tothe presentation of a medal in Open Lodge. The recipient was very appreciative ofthis honor. I feel these presentations should always be done in Open Lodgewhereby the family can be present with the recipient.

I would like to commend all the officers of the Lodges who participate in thisprogram.

BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
As Masons, ours is a priceless heritage-we have long stood in the vanguard ofthose who live and give their lives for freedom. Masons began in this countryrisking their lives for freedom.
We must work diligently to preserve our Masonic heritage. This was the purposeof our Bicentennial Celebration. Our intent was to pass it on with rekindled lightand understanding to future generations.
The Grand Lodge of Louisiana celebrated the Bicentennial of the United StatesConstitution on Saturday, September 12,1987 in Blackham Coliseum, Lafayette,Louisiana. M.W. Ray Burgess, P.G.M. served as chairman and acted as Master ofCeremonies. The speakers were W: Brother Richard O. Rush, M:W: James M.Walley, P.G.M., W: Brother John R. Rarick.

GRAND MASTER'S CONFERENCE
The Grand Master's Conference of North America was held in Calgary, Alberta,Canada, February 14-18. The opening ceremonies were beautiful and impressive.
Brother Norman Maclver, Chairman, brought a dynamic message called "Backto Basics". Brother Robert Singer, Co-Chairman, brought an informative addressabout our youth, drugs and alcohol. There were many more interestingspeakers.
At the end of the session, I questioned why there was no media coverage of theopening ceremonies whereby favorable publicity would prevail. We fail to publicizethe good of Masonry, nor do we properly publicize our many charitableprograms.
Those in attendance from Louisiana were M:W: Lewis J. Faciane and Annette,R:W: Eugene A. Wagner, Jr. and Gloria, R:W: Eugene F. Love and Dhale, R:W: AllenG. Tidwell and Fran, and R:W: Jack Crouch and Mary.

COMMISSION CARDS AND CERTIFICATES
Commission cards and certificates are authorized to be issued to all elected andappointed officers indicating their election or appointment as such. Cards areissued for each Board and Committee member indicating their election or appoint-ment. This was done in the early part of the year.
TWENTY-FIVE AND FIFTY YEAR CERTIFICATES
The Grand Lodge is authorized to issue twenty-five and fifty year membershipcertificates to all members in good standing in Lodges of our jurisdiction when theyhave attained twenty-five or fifty years accumulative, but not necessarily contin-uous good standing in the Masonic Fraternity. No such certificate will be predatedto permit premature presentation. These certificates are prepared by the GrandLodge Office, based on the computer run, which we receive and issue to thevarious Lodges. This past year we prepared 148 fifty year certificates and 872twenty-five year certificates.
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 59
CENTENNIAL PLAQUES
There were no centennial plaques issued this year.
TAXESFORM 990 - ANNUAL INFORMATION RETURN
All Lodges are reminded that the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. & A. M.and its constituent Lodges are exempt from the payment of income tax. However,under the provisions of the tax reform act of 1969, Lodges are now required to fileannual information return Form No. 990, "Return of Organization Exempt fromIncome Tax". Since the enactment of the tax reform act of 1969, the IRS nowconsiders this transition period to be over, and the penalties forfailure to file Form990 on the required due dates, which is May 15,1988 is $10.00 per day for eachday the report is late up to a maximum of $5,000.00. Lodges with gross receipts ofless than $25,000.00 may simply state on the face of Form No. 990; GrossReceipts Tax includes all income from every source, including dues, degree fees,rents, royalities, interests, dividends, donation, and building fund contribution. TheMay 15th due date is for Lodges using calendar year accounting periods, that isJanuary 1 st through December 31 st inclusive. All of our Lodges in this state usethis period. The IRS does not automatically mail forms to the Lodges. It is theresponsibility for the Lodges to secure form and prepare and send it. Generally,after one Form No. 990 is filed, a form is automatically mailed to the Lodge eachyear. Returns should be mailed to the Internal Revenue Service, Austin, Texas73301. Our Lodges are exempt from tax under Section 501 (C) (10) of the InternalRevenue Code.
In addition to the above, the G.E.N. or Group Exemption Number of the GrandLodge is 0144 and should be shown on any of the Form 990's completed by theLodge.
The original group exemption letter was dated October 5, 1940.
EMPLOYMENT TAXES
Exemption from income tax does not relieve the Lodge from liability for SocialSecurity Taxes or other applicable employment taxes.
Smaller Lodges who employ a Secretary or any other employee in a part timecapacity and who either remit his dues and/or pay him a token salary, would notgenerally be liable for employment taxes, unless such salary is $50 or more in acalendar quarter.
Larger Lodges employing a Secretary or any other employee at a larger salary,are liable for Social Security on his wages. Such taxes should be forwarded to theInternal Revenue Service each Quarter on Form 941. Federal and State Un-employment Taxes must also be paid.
You are reminded that Social Security taxes are 7.51 percent for 1988. Inaddition, federal unemployment tax is .8 percent and State Unemployment tax rateshould be furnished by the State Office.
60 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGESTATE AND LOCAL SALES TAX
Lodges are not exempt from payment of State and Local Sales Tax on theirpurchases. Lodges do not collect any taxes or make any reports concerning salestax, however, exemption from income tax does not apply to sales tax.
HANDBOOK OF MASONIC LAW
The revisions for 1987 were published as approved. Each Constituent Lodgeand Grand Lodger Officer received a copy and many individuals have purchasedsame. They are available from our Masonic Service Committee for $.75 pluspostage. The complete Handbook with all revisions, without cover, is $8.25, andwith the cover the cost is $11.75, plus postage.
MASONIC DIRECTORY
The annual Masonic Directory was published and will continue to be published inthe future. It contains the list of Lodges in various arrangements for referencepurposes. It also contains the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Mastersand Secretaries, plus meeting nights and locations; and the Committees andBoards of the Grand Lodge. One copy is furnished initially to Lodges and additionalcopies may be purchased for $3.25 plus postage.
The Lodge Secretary and Worshipful Master should review the line entry for hisown Lodge and be assured we have printed it correctly. Remember this infor-mation comes from your Off icers Sheets which you submit at the beginning of theyear.
MASONIC EDUCATION SEMINAR
There were six Masonic Education Seminars held this year. These were held inShreveport, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Monroe and New Orleans. Iconducted a class for the secretaries in Baton Rouge, Alexandria and New Orleansareas. The secretaries who attended have indicated that they were very infor-mative and beneficial and expressed their appreciation and desire that they becontinued in the future.
DATA PROCESSING
Continued cooperation between this office and the personnel of the DataProcessing department of American Bank has resulted in much more accuraterecords.
As in the past, address changes are one of our biggest problems. Due toproblems connected with reprogramming address entry into the computer systemto accommodate the new nine digit zip codes, all of the last four digits of the ninedigit codes have been deleted. We regret the inconvenience to the secretaries andcommend them on the diligent manner in which they have submitted the addresschanges this year.
We still receive call from irate widows who receive mail months after the demiseof their husbands. Understandably, this is very unpleasant for them. Secretaries,please report any death date as quickly as you can.
OFTHESTATEOFLOUISiANA 61
The coding of monthly reports and the delays in sending in the same by theSecretaries continues to be one of the heaviest workloads for our office. It isessential that Lodge officers take an interest in seeing that these reports aresubmitted on time so that we can correct the machine produced rosters sent toeach Lodge in January of each year.
In order for dues cards to show P.M., Sr., Jr., or III in the proper place, it isnecessary for each Secretary to go through his roster and make the corrections ona "Correction or Change of Name" form. When this is done, the dues cards willcontain all the correct information.
LISTS OF SUSPENSIONS AND EXPULSIONS ARE SENTTO EACH DISTRICT LODGEAND OTHER MASONIC BODIES FOR THEIR INFORMATION.
It is becoming more apparent with each passing month that the ever increasingdependence on data processing in our day to day operations makes it imperativethat serious consideration be given to the Grand Lodge leasing or purchasing if sown computer system. Bear in mind that in 1986 American Bank terminated ourData Processing services. After negoiations which resulted in increased cost forthese services, they agreed to continue with us for a short period of time. When theservices are not furnished to us as promised, we are in no position to complain.Even though we are paying for these services, the fact remains that the bankwishes to utilize the system for their own operations and would discontinue theirservice to us without hesitation.
APPRECIATION
To the Grand Lodge office staff, Mrs. Anna Bel Kelley, Office Manager, Mrs.Marian Rosenzweig, Mrs. Mary Crouch, and John Giardina, Accountant, I wish toexpress my deep appreciation forthe cooperation they have given me thisyearandfor their dedication to this office. I also extend my thanks to each committeemanand officer of the Grand Lodge for their cooperation and assistance during theyear. I am deeply indebted to each of you for the many courtesies that have beenextended to me.
CONCLUSION
All accounts have been audited by the firm of Pepperman, Emboulas, Schwartzand Todaro, Certified Public Accounts and report will be made available.
To the Lodge Secretaries I offer my heartfelt thanks. Your cooperation andunselfish devotion to our Craft makes my job easier.
In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks again for the confidence you haveshown in me by allowing me to continue as your Grand Secretary. The respon-sibility is tremendous, and I accept the challenge with great respect andhumility.
Fraternally submitted,
Jack Crouch,Grand Secretary

M:W: Brother Robert L Kleinpeter, P.G.M., referred to Resolution No.1988-3, which pertained to an increase of Grand Lodge assessment for$2.00 per year for each member to keep the Grand Lodge in operatingcondition. He recommended adoption of Resolution No. 3.
W: Brother Philip J. Walker, P.M. (300), and secretary of Osiris Lodgespoke in favor of the resolution be approved. He explained how the assess-ment was broken down, and then he explained how the cost of living indexhad increased from 1980 through 1987 43.7%. The money we received in1980 multiplied by the inflation index rate would cut our monetary gains inhalf. He stated at the rate we were going, Grand Lodge funds would beexhausted. He urged the adoption of this resolution.
W: Brother R.D. Bayliss, P.M. (436) spoke in regards to Resolution No. 3.He stated that the cost of every item used in Grand Lodge for supplies, etc.have increased tremendously these past 8 years, as also the taxes,Workmen's Compensation, hospitalization, and Social Security.

64 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE
raise for 8 years. The cost of living has been given, but that has not beengiven since 1986. No merit raises have been granted. He urged thebrethren to vote for the resolution and asked the brethren to second themotion with him.
W: Brother Joseph W. Strahan, P. M. (160) spoke in regards to ResolutionNo. 3. His lodge charged $11.00 when he was raised, and now it is $29.00.Their insurance has gone up, and they are not breaking even at $29.00.They take care of their older members, and do not send in or ask foranything. He stated a lot of Lodges do not have insurance on their Lodgebuildings because they can not afford it. Attendance is bad, a lot ofmembers have dropped out, and he moved that the resolution be rejected.
W: Brother George L. Maxwell, P.M., stated he had not been a Mason fora long period of time. The financial posture of the Grand Lodge will be atotal deficit if the resolution was not approved. He also stated that we arenot talking about an increase in salaries or services, we are talking aboutvital existence. He moved that the motion be adopted.
W: Brother Thomas Guzciki, W.M. (46) stated they have 8 other Lodgesmeeting in their Lodge Hall, and knew the problem Grand Lodge is facingat this time. They are barely breaking even in their Lodge and will have toincrease their rates next year. We must support our Grand Lodge and notlet our Grand Lodge go into a deficit, and was for the resolution.
Resolution No. 1988-3 was disapproved.
R:W: Brother Jack Crouch, G.S. then read Resolution No. 1988-11 whichfollows:
WHEREAS, All of the statements of fact listed in Resolution No. 1988-3still apply, and
WHEREAS, The surplus funds which have been available for any short-fall in the Grand Lodge budget will be exhausted by the end of 1989,and
WHEREAS, The Board of Budget and Control is required by LouisianaMasonic Law to submit a balanced budget; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED: That the monies allocated to mileage and per diem bediscontinued beginning at the 1990 Annual Grand Lodge Communication,if Resolution No. 1988-3 fails to pass.
M:W: Brother L Kleinpeter, P.G.M. informed the brethren this resolutionwas not proper, and this resolution should have been introduced in themorning session.
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 65
W: Brother Ed Yates, P.M. (456) stated if we could not introduce theresolution now, he voted against the other one, but he was for this, and hewould rather pay the mileage for his Master, and would like to see theresolution for next year and let it be effective for 1990.
Grand Master Faciane asked the brethren if they were willing to give uptheir per diem. There was a loud applause. He asked the brethren if theyunderstood that we would take this resolution and vote on it tomorrow.
Brother Kleinpeter informed the brethren that it would take2/3votetoaccept the resolution and a majority vote would be necessary in tomor-row's morning session. There was a standing vote of 2/3 for acceptance ofthis resolution.

REPORT OF BOARD OF CHARITIES AND BENEVOLENCES
M:W: Grand MasterDistinguished EastGuests and my Brethren all:
Your Board of Charities and Benevolences are pleased to report that allapplications for relief have been brought to a conclusion. Regrettably, itwas necessary to disapprove several due to not meeting the criteria, andalso it was necessary to return several for resubmissions as they were notfilled out completely.
It was also suggested the Lodges be reminded again that any portion ofrelief extended, gained through individual donations, does not qualify forany type reimbursement, only that extended out of Lodge funds; asoutlined in the Handbook of Masonic Law.
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 67
Due to loss of income in the operation of the Masonic Temple Building,and that it could very well be, we will not receive the $ 18,000.00, or that itmay be curtailed. By vote of the Board it was agreed that all applicationswill be acted upon, but payment will not be made until after October 1,1988, at which time it will be determined whether funds are available forsuch payment. Also by vote of the Board, all Constituent Lodges benotified that reimbursement of dues waived be discontinued until furthernotice of this Board.
Fraternally submitted,

RESOLUTION NO. 1988-1
WHEREAS, I have been alarmed by the steady loss of membership of the
Grand Lodge of Louisiana. Since 1966, a p»ri"* of 20 years, member-
ship had a loss of 10,243 and suspesions were 12,799.
WHEREAS, There are two methods to reduce this steady trend: First,
have a five year plan of a statewide coordinated r i n«rt-a-Kam»n t- pro-
gram of the Grand Lodge of La., the Grand Chapter of La., and the
Grand Council of La. Such a program was instituted in 1965. During
1975 and 1976, Yellow Pine Lodge No. 282, Oakdale Chapter No. 71 and
Oakdale Council 25, instituted a Program Of fcbrk. It conducted a
campaign for reinstatements in each body and secured obtained petiti-
ons in Oakdale Chapter and Oakdale Council; both were very sucassful.
Second, have each Lodge, Chapter and Council conduct their own re-in-
statemsnt programs. I prefer the first plan because many small tcvns
have only a Blue Lodge' and no Chapter or Council; hence we would lose
continunity of the York Rite Bodies.
BE IT RESOLVED, that a plan one be approved so that our suspensions
will decrease and the membership of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana will
be increased.

The minutes of the Executive Committee of the Months ofNovember, December and January were approved as mailed.
Right Worshipful Brother Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., reported thatthe finanaial picture concerning the operation of ourMasonic Temple Building is not a pleasant one. Presentlythe occupancy of the commercial space is somewhere around60 to 65%. The income for commercial space in 1987 wasdown $100,000.00 from what we budgeted early last year;also, reimbursement for utilities was down approximately$28,000.00 from what was budgeted for the year. As youall know, interest rates are down, so our interest incomewas also down. As was reported to you early in 1987, ourReal Estate taxes took a big jump and it was necessary totake a little over $100,000.00 out of the R.0. & I. accountin January, 1987 to pay them. The way things are going,it probably will be necessary to take money out of thisaccount again this year in order to continue the Templeoperation.
The picture concerning cemetery finances is also an unpleasantone. Interments are down approximately $2500.00 for the year,and the interest on our investments is down due to the lowinterest rates.
Even though the total of our cemetery expenditures for theyear was below what was budgeted, we operated at a lossbecause of the large decrease in income.

CLOSINGPRAYER:
PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGEAs per instructions from this board, your Executive Committeeproceeded to try to negotiate with Mrs. Dietrich for thepayment of the money she owes on Building Renovation andthe back rent on one of the leases she holds for CBDservices. We offered to settle with her for $20,000.00 onbuilding renovations and also for all the back rent she owesfor CBD services. However, she still feels that we shouldcancel all of the balance she owes on building renovations,and she should only pay the back rent. Therefore, yourExecutive Committee has informed Mrs. Dietrich in a letterthat she will be given until March 1, 1988, to either paythe $20,000.00 she owes on building improvements and theback rent for CBD services or vacate the area occupied byCBD services. If she decides to vacate the area, we willhave a wall erected and will proceed to try to rent thisspace.
The proposed 1988 budget for the Masonic Temple, see PaperNo. 1, was next presented after a few minor changes, itwas approved.
Paper No. 2 shows the Masonic Temple Building "R.0. S I.Investments" and the "Reserve for Depreciation" investments.A motion was made, seconded and passed that these two fundsbe combined into the R.0. & I. fund if this action meets withthe approval of the auditors.
The proposed 1988 budget for the Masonic Cemetery, see PaperNo. 3, was presented and approved.

For that reason, the Library Com-mittee has worked long and hard, and have taken a considerable amountof money out of their own pockets.

REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGE LIBRARY COMMITTEE
December 20, 1987
M:W: Grand Master:
When you appointed us to this Committee, you charged us toinventory and catalog all the books in the library.
Your Committee has inventoried every book, periodical, andproceedings in the library. A list has been recorded in a com-,puter and a printout made.
The broken locks on some of the bookshelf doors have beenrepaired.
Title and author cards are being added. A start has beenmade toward determining the subject natter contained in eachbook and writing the appropriate subject cards.
All the above, plus the additional expense of supplies,transportation and parking have been donated by members ofthe Committee.
Your Committee believes that the well-being of Freemasonrylies in more Masonic education and that Louisiana Masons wouldbenefit if the Grand Lodge Library would become a statewideMasonic information center.
106 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE
With this long-range goal in mind, your Committee recommendsthe following:
Many irreplaceable books are in serious stages of deterior-ation. Restoration of some is needed, and others deserve preser-vation from further decay. Funds are needed for this purpose aswell as to purchase additional books, literature, and supplies.
It seems natural that the Grand Lodge Library would be therepository for all Masonic research and written Masonic informa-tion in Lousiana.
A study should be made with the purpose of establishingabsolute security of the library and its contents.
When classification of books is complete, a minimum of onerepresentative from the Library Committee will be present fivedays a week for specified hours. At present, the Masonic TempleBuilding has a telephone number. The Grand Lodge offices have atelephone number, and the Department of Lodge Equipment and Supplieshas yet a third telephone number. The personnel in these officesare overworked. So that Masons from around the State could requestMasonic information directly from the Grand Lodge Library, it isrecommended that the Grand Lodge Library be equipped with a tele-phone under its own number.
The Louisiana Freemason is a quarterly of which we are proud.Its usefulness and interest could be even further enhanced with acontinuing notice of the availability of a Grand Lodge Library in-formation Service, as well as a continuing request for donationsof Masonic books.
Your Committee members are grateful for the honor to serve onthis Committee which has so much potential for the benefit ofLouisiana Masons and Masonry.
Respectfully submitted,
Leslie F. Tanner, Jr.,Chairman,Grand Lodge Library Committee

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGECOMMITTEE ON THE MASONIC HOME ENDOWMENT FUND
Your Grand Lodge Committee on the Masonic Home Endowment Fundbegs to report as follows:
The members of the Grand Lodge Committee on the Masonic HomeEndowment Fund has attempted to reach as many Free and AcceptedMasons in Louisiana as has been possible. Each member of theCommittee recognizes his responsibilities and has devoted muchtime and effort to increase the endowment. Our efforts have notmet with the response that we had hoped. The Penny-A-Day Program,supported by our Grand Master and the Line Officers, has not beenaccepted by every Lodge and every Mason. We again request eachsecretary of a Lodge to add a statement to the request for duesto read: "Don't forget the Penny-A-Day Program. Please add $3.65to your dues for the Masonic Home Endowment Fund". Where this hasbeen done, the results have been remarkable.
As of November 30, 1987 the amount of money in the EndowmentFund was $819,455.00. We have been most fortunate this year in thatone of our beloved Past Masters, W: Brother George Maxwell ofRayville and his wife, Lucille, (who are now deceased) have willedtc the Endowment fund their estate the sum of $96,000.00. The GrandLodge is grateful for the thought fulness and love of Brother andMrs. Maxwell. There should be others who, if properly approached,would include, the Masonic Home Endowment Fund in their wills. Let'sseek to find those people.
Your committee thanks all who have made a contribution tothe Endowment Fund during 1987 and to our Grand Master and otherGrand Lodge Officers for their support and encouragement during theyear .
E. R. Minchew, P.G.M., ChairmanCommittee on Masonic HomeEndowment Fund
M:W: Brother Thomas T. Elkins, P.G.M. gave a report on the GeorgeWashington National Memorial Foundation. Four years ago, at the GrandMaster's Conference in Dallas, Texas, he was elected to the GeorgeWashington National Memorial committee. Since that time, the Memorialhas spent over $261,000.00 in repairs and clean-up. A big ditch was builtaround the Memorial to protect it from vandalism. He thoroughly enjoyedhis association with the Memorial. The Memorial has initiated a vigorousrestoration and maintenance program of the past few years and it nowappears to be in beautiful condition, but there is still many things to bedone. The primary need of the Association is to increase the EndowmentFund for the maintenance and operation of the Memorial. Specific needsare: Increase the Endowment Fund from $3,614,895.00 to15,000,000.00. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania has given over$200,000.00 a year. We were one of the first Southern States to take partin donations to the Memorial. He appealed to our Grand Lodge to put$5.00 on the initiation fees of the E.A. Masons, which was approved. Now
114 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE
we have given better than $4,000.00 to this great monument. He en-couraged the brethren to visit the memorial. He thanked the Grand Masterfor reappointing him to serve on this committee.
W: Brother D. Vernon Dupree, P.M., Chairman, State of the Order,referred to his report in the Advance Report. He referred to the GrandMaster's report whereas the Grand Master concluded that MasonicEducation must be the central theme in every Masonic gathering to addvigor and new life to the Lodge. He had expressed concern for thedecrease in membership and attendance and believes that strong andcontinued Masonic Education will eliminate most of the problems. Hemoved the adoption of his report. Grand Lodge approved the report.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THESTATE OF THE ORDER
Our Grand Master extended welcome to all assembled in Baton Rougefor the One Hundred and Seventy-Seventh Annual Communication of theMost Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana. A hearty wel-come was accorded our distinguished out-of-state guests in wishingfor then a pleasant visit.
As he traveled about the State and to other States and foreigncountries our Grand Master became convinced that Masons are different,committed to excellence, not willing to compromise ourselves for sakeof popularity, spending lifetimes affirming our beliefs in moral con-duct, brotherhood and compassion. Be also concluded that Masoniceducation must be the central theme in every Masonic gathering, to addvigor and new life to the Lodge. Masonic education teaches the com-mandment "Love One Another" by first finding and loving God with allour being, and fashioning our lives with the qualities of brotherlylove.
In leaving his office as Grand Master, he expressed concern overdecreases in membership and attendance, and believes that strong andcontinued Masonic education will eliminate most of the problem. Heurges every Lodge to analyse needs for Masonic charity before suspend-ing a member for NPD, and to give relief wherever possible. He alsosuggests that Lodges give consideration to adopting a "buddy" systemso that every new Mason may have a brother invite' him to all Lodgefunctions, thereby enhancing chances for an increase In attendance.
He thanked the Grand Lodge Officers for their devoted assistancelast year; the Past Grand Masters for their counsel; and constltutentLodges for their cordial receptions extended him and members of hisofficial family in their visits.
A few problems arose among the brethren of some Lodges, but ourGrand Master happily reports that most of the problems were resolved,with peace and harmony prevailing.
Our Grand Master devoted 212 days last year to Masonic activities,including 49 days in visits to 14 other jurisdictions. The remainingvisits are catagorized as follows: Blue Lodges 70 days; DistrictLodge Meetings 6; Scottish Rite 17; Shrine 17; Board of Trustees ofthe Masonic Home for Children 10; Grand Lodge Hall Board 6; Order ofthe Eastern Star 6; Masonic Education Seminars 4; other acitlvltes 27.
Durations of attendance in other jurisdictions were: Arkansas 3days; Mississippi 2; Iowa 4; Tennessee 3; Florida 4; Alabama 2; Texas4; Conference of Grand Masters of North America, Calgary, Alberta,

Buck Lodge No. 260.
The Grand Master's Homecoming at the Masonic Home for ChildrenMay 17, 1987 was highlighted by the performance of the children andthe message brought by Rev. John Paul Faciane, son of our Grand Master.Gratitude and appreciation were extended by our Grand Master to R:W:Brother Eugene Love and his committee for their contributions to asuccessful Homecoming; to Brother Harold Moye and his staff for theirlove and care given the children of the Home; and to Masons and Orderof Eastern Star for their generous donations for the Home.
The Masonic Home Educational Foundation Committee was praised forthe excellent job in helping as many students as possible on interestincome from Invested funds derived from freewill contributions. Currentlow interest rates yield a correspondingly lower income for this wor-thy endeavor.
The Chairman of the Masonic Home Endowment Fund urges Masons tocontribute a minimum of a penny-a-day, or more, if possible, to thisfund so that it may ultimately reach a goal of $2,000,000.00 to makethe Home self-supporting.
Our Grand Master expressed appreciation to the Manager of theMasonic Temple Building, to R:W: Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., Chairman; andto the Executive Committee, for managing affairs of the Temple so wellwith only about 66% space rented.
An impressive and successful Bicentennial Celebration arranged byM:W: Brother Ray Burgess, P.G.M., and his committee was held Septem-ber 12, 1987 in Blackham Coliseum, Lafayette. Speakers were BrothersRichard 0. Rush, M:W: James M. Walley, P.G.M., G.T., M:W: N. HarrisMcClamroch, P.G.M., and W: John R. Rarick, P.M.
Our Grand Master cited the valuable role served by the LouisianaFreemason published under direction of M:W: Brother Ray W. Burgess,P.G.M., and his committee, and urges all Lodges to contribute articlesabout their Lodges for publication.
From the foregoing analysis, the Committee of the State of theOrder is of the opinion that our Grand Master has given a splendidaccounting of his stewardship last year.

Grand Master, Lewis Faciane, your committee wishes to thankyou and your officers for- the support given this program duringthe year 1987. As per your request, we did sake available alisting of biblical references to the virtues of honesty and in-tegrity. These were mailed to every constituent Lodge and GrandLodge officer.

During 1987 148 Lodges participated In theprogram presenting Honesty-Integrity Awards to 450 students Intheir junior year of high school. The Constituent Lodges ofLouisiana have now presented over 3000 such awards. These stu-dents are travelers in time. They will be citizens of the twenty-first century, many of us will not. They carry the message Masonsare men that people look up to-Men of Honesty, Men of Integrity.Wouldn't it be great if lOOZof our Lodges made such a presentationin 1988? It could happen. The program is voluntary.
The Grand Lodge Service Committee informs us that 62 of theConstituent Lodges presented the Grand Lodge Fidelity Medal tothe Mason who has been longest a Mason in their Lodge. This newprogram is also a voluntary program. At the request of theDeputy Grand Master, Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., two presentation talkshave been written on the subject of fidelity. Copies are available.We urge each constituent Lodge which has not already done so, torecognize their Lodge's oldest Mason with "The Golden Palm Award",it's a great thing to do. While it is not something each Lodge willdo every year, each Blue Lodge secretary should consider it his dutyto inform the Worshipful Master when a particular brother is duesuch recognition. Do it soon. Do it before he dies. Both theFidelity Medal and the Honesty and Integrity key are availablethrough the Grand Lodge Service Committee. We appreciate theaccurate records they keep.
I move this report be accepted and printed in Jtfii proo€e)dings.

REPORT OF THEGOALS AND OBJECTIVES COMMITTEE
Only one meeting was held during the year and not very muchwas accomplished. Tour chairman feels that there is a great needfor this effort because long range "Goals and Objectives" arenecessary for the survival of our great Fraternity.
Area of concern such as finances for the proper operationof the Grand Lodge, insurance coverage for our Constituent Lodges,life membership, decling membership, suspension for non-paymentof dues, and Masonic education must be addressed. For this pro-gram to succeed it must have the complete support of the GrandMaster and his officers, the Past Grand Masters, and the officersand brethren of our member Lodges.

REPORT OF GRAND LODGE ARRANGEMENTS COMMITTEEE
The success of your Grand Lodge Session depends upon theco-operation of all the many masons involved. In 1986 it wasdecided by the elected line officers that each Grand Masterwould invite all qualified masons and their guests to attendthe various functions, with tickets being sold for each respectivefunctions. This practice was begun in February of 1987 at theGrand Lodge Session held in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
We are pleased to report that this procedure has saved theGrand Lodge a considerable amount of money and has afforded manymore masons the opportunity to attend any or all events of theGrand Lodge Session.
Thank you brethren for your co-operation. This is yourGrand Lodge, let us keep it great.
Thanks to our Grand Master, through whose efforts all wereable to attend and enjoy the fellowship together.

Chairman
PRESS AND PUBLICITY COMITTEE
Most Worshipful Grand Master, Grand Lodge Officers, and My BrotherMaster Masons:
The report of the Grand Lodge Committee on Press andPublicity Is exceedingly short this year. It is as follows:
During the course of this past year, as has been the case Inrecent years, a number of negative news articles have been placedbefore the public which were against our fraternity. It is thefeeling of this committee that the most productive means tocounter this attack is not to lower ourselves down to the level ofour critics. We must take every opportunity to be positive! ,
We must promote the outstanding charitable and fraternalaspects of Freemasonry - in all its branches and levels. Anexcellent example of this policy was the Masonic Awareness Dayheld last year in Alexandria and the Constitution BicentennialCelebration held this year In Lafayette. Many local lodges areholding open meetings for family members and guests to attend. Wemust no longer hide our light under the proverbial bushel basket.Freemasonry has much to be proud of — we should be proud enoughtospeak up for it in the proper context and situation.
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 123Relations with the news media have not always been
adversarial. Fifty-one years ago, in 1936, WJBO-AM carried theopen installation of officers of Baton Rouge Lodge # 372 to itslistening audience* This is not to say that every event isnewsworthy to the general public, but we must contact the membersof the media weeks In advance if we expect to receive positivepublici ty.
Do something positive for Freemasonry - Share the Light I

Robert D. Lawrence, PMChairman, Grand LodgeCommittee on Press andPublicity
HISTORY COMMITTEE REPORT
The History Committee of the Grand Lodge of the State ofLouisiana would like to report three accomplishments:
1) Members of the Committee continue to be active in pro-moting the history, both sources and content, of our institution.Numerous addresses have been given before individual Lodges on thehistory of Louisiana Masonry with special emphasis on the 175thanniversary. Efforts are ongoing to encourage Lodges to provideessential historical information required by the Grand LodgeArchives. Such activity directed toward the preservation ofindividual Lodges histories have been, for the most part, whollyunsuccessful because of a lack of Lodge interest and participation.
2) With the assistance of the staff of the Special CollectionsDivision, Sandel Library, Northeast Louisiana University, the photo-graphic collection of the Grand Lodge Archives has been processedand catalogued. Although many of the photographs are unidentified,there is still a wealth of information, in the photographic format,that documents both the history of the Grand Lodge and numerous in-dividual Lodges. There is, for example, a complete photographicrecord of the construction of the present Grand Lodge building.
3) After a long delay, a complete history of Louisiana Masonry,Let There Be Light;A History of the Grand Lodge of the State ofState of Louisiana, 1763-1987, is finished and is in the process ofpublication by Windsor Press of Northridge, California. This studychronicles the history of the Grand Lodge and also mentions, withvarying degrees of depth, every Lodge chartered in the State. Some125-150 photographs illustrate the work. It is hoped that the volumewill be appreciated by the Masons of Louisiana.
It is the recommendation of the chairman that additional em-phasis be placed on the work of the history committee. A part ofthat additional emphasis would require that the committee meetannually during the Grand Lodge Session and that goals and objectivesbe established. It is hoped that the chairman will be able to directadditional efforts in providing leadership to this vital committeeduring the coming year.

GRAND MASTER'S HOMECOMING - 1987EUGENE F. LOVE,
CHAIRMAN
The Annual Grand Master's Homecoming was held May 17, 1987at the Masonic Home for Children, Alexandria, La.
The program began at 10:00 A.M. A capacity crowd enjoyedthe musical program presented by Judy and Clifton Bernard.(Clifton was so impressed with the love the brethren displayedtoward the children, their dedication to supporting the Home,and the friendly attitude among the brethren and their families,that he secured a petition and is now a Master Mason in EasternStar Lodge No. 151, Hinnfield, La.)
Children from the Home participated in the program. LorettaO'Neal led the Pledge of Allegiance and Regina Jasper gave thewelcome address to the visitors. Troy Eunice gave the benediction,and the entire group of children provided special music.
The Cenla Temple Guard from Alexandria gave an impressivepresentation of our flag.
It was truly homecoming for Dr. Gene Chambers, a formerresident of the Home. Dr. Chambers reflected upon his pleasantmemories of the Home and the security it gave him as a young boywithout a home. He is now a member of Alexandria Lodge No. 398.He gives the home the benefit of his professional training as heworks with the children.
Superintendent Harold Moye presented his staff and thechildren. He expressed his love and appreciation to those who sogenerously contribute their time and talents to the welfare of thechildren.
Grand Master Lewis J. Faciane spoke briefly to the large crowd.He expressed his thanks for their attendance, their love and supportof the Home and he encouraged all Masons to remember that theirlives are like a sign board on the highway, what people see in youis their impression of Masonry. The Grand Master and Grand Treasurer,M:W: James M. Walley, P.G.M., received gifts from Lodge.8, AppendantBodies and individuals in the amount of $11,280 for support of theHome.
Rev. John Paul Faciane, the son of Grand Master Lewis Faciane,delivered an inspiring message. Rev. Faciane, a young minister witha slight southern accent, entertained the group with his fine senseof humor and wthe love he has for God. The sincerity and lovedisplayed in his message touched the hearts of those in attendance.
Picnic lunches, dinner on the grounds and entertainment for thechildren ended a very good day for Masonry.

DATA PROCESSING COMMITTEE REPORT
As indicated in my earlier report, prior to our committeemaking any specific recommendations, regarding hardware orsoftware, I believe we need a management review of currentpractices, and a sense of direction as to plans and programsfor the future.
We are in a "holding pattern" right now.
I can not say how long this "holding pattern" can be main-tained before our options become more limited than they now are.
Once the management direction can be established, otherscan more effectively evaluate budget constraints and recommendalternatives. Until then, my basic recommendations, coveredin great detail over a series of documents and reports overthe past year and a half, still holds.

Dear Brother Faciane;
I am pleased to report to you the completion of our TAKE STOCK IN YOURFUTURE program with the Masonic organisations of Louisiana for 1986-B7.Thanks to the Masons of Louisiana, we were able to schedule fifteenyoung men to a Leadership Conference this year.
All conference and travel fees were able to be paid for all fifteen ofthese young men to the best site for our state to Texas at BaylorUniversity. They traveled by Greyhound bus to and from, the mosteconomical means we could find.
As the attached financial summary indicates, we came within 157. of ouractual costs, rather close for this project, and unfortunately in thewrong direction. Luckily, however, there were monies remaining fromlast pear's program that not quite made up the difference. Several ofour young men could not make it at the very last minute, due to thetight financial conditions of their family. This also doubtlessexplains the average contribution being down from our constituent lodgesthis year (and the total **** was down, as well), doubtless for the samereason.
126 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE
It is the continuing participation and support of Louisiana Masonry thathas permitted this program to work successfully on the continuing basiswe have established. TAKE STOCK IN YOUR FUTURE may be a rallying cry-for Louisiana Masonry. It is the results of that support that helps usprovide added education and improvement to the individual chapterleadership.
For Louisiana DeMolay. we again thank you and your Family.

COMMITTEE FOR THE FEASIBILITY OF A LOUISIANA RESEARCH LODGE
TO THE MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER, GRAND LODGE OFFICERS, ANDMEMBERS OF THE LODGES OF LOUISIANA, FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS
Brethren:
The Special Committee assigned the task of studying thefeasibility of foraing a Research Lodge within Louisiana hasworked for three years. A draft set of By-Laws has been sub-mitted, a list of fraternal correspondence has been initiated,and a Resolution for establishing the Research Lodge has beensubmitted. Louisiana Is one of the few Grand Jurisdictionsthat does not have an established Research Lodge; and, this canchange at this Grand Communication with the passage of the Reso-lution calling for the establishment of a Research Lodge. It ishoped that the delegates will look favorably upon the Resolution.
It has been a great honor to serve this Grand Lodge in thisproject. With the support of Masonic scholars, history enthus-iasts, and seekers of knowledge in Masonic literature, Louisianacan enjoy the reputation of having a very fine Research Lodgewith a distinguished membership.
Our Grand Jurisdiction has many Masonic researchers; hope-fully, all of them will gather and support this new project.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
Fraternally yours,

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF BUDGET AND CONTROL
The Board of Budget and Control herewith submits this report forthe 1988 Session of the Grand Lodge. Receipts for 1987 were below thebudget approved last year. There is another loss from dues collectedas we continue to lose in membership and degree fees. Our interest onour funds and endowments continues at lower rates. We have lost over4,500 members since 1981.
We have continued to exercise savings in purchasing, printing, andsupplies for our Lodges. We purchased a new copying machine for theoffice for saving on our copy work.
The 1988 budget is presented for your consideration. It is about$36,000 over the 1987 Budget. We felt it is time to make a cost ofliving raise and adjustment in salaries for our employees.
If you approve, and we trust you will, these funds will not beavailable until 1990. At a loss of over 900 members per year, and over$23,000.00 per year in income, we must take action. The increase is,truly needed.

I have examined the balance sheet of the MASONIC EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION,
INC. as of December 31, 1987 and the related statements of receipts and
expenditures, fund equities and changes in financial position for the year
then ended. My examination was made in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, and accordingly included such test of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as I considered necessary in the
circumstances.
In my opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Masonic Educational Foundation, Inc. as of December
31, 1987 and the results of its operations and changes in financial position
for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

MASONIC HOME FOR CHILDRENNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT

4. UNCERTAINTY:
On July 19, 1986, the Board of Trustees of the Masonic Home for Childrenadopted a resolution to establish a pension plan for Its employees. A plandocument has not been submitted to the Internal Revenue Service for appro-val as a qualified plan. The Board of Trustees has dedicated the amount of$54,128 for use in funding the pension plan. Due to lack of sufficientdata, it is not possible at this time to determine whether this amount isadequate to fund the pension obligation, nor to determine the actual liabi-lity associated with the pension plan. When the Board of Trustees adopts aplan which conforms to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,it will then be possible to determine the liability for pension planbenefits.
5. EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN:
As discussed in Note 4, the organization adopted a resolution to establisha pension plan for i t s employees during the year ending December 31, 1986.This plan wi l l cover al l fu l l - t ime employees of the Masonic Home forChildren. At this time, no provision has been made for pension planexpense, but $54,128 has been dedicated to fund this plan, and this amountis included in cash and cert i f icates of deposit of Restricted Funds.
6. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT:
The Masonic Home for Children has adopted Statement of Position 78-10 forguidance in accounting policy. In previous periods, certain l i f e insurancepol ic ies existed in which Masonic Home for Children was the owner and 1twas their understanding that they were the beneficiary only. These po l i -cies are assets of the Masonic Home for Children and, beginning in thecurrent f iscal year, are reflected as such. The organization's balancesheet has been adjusted retroactively to November 30, 1986. We arecurrently unable to assess the effect of this change, i f any, on the finan-c ia l statements of that period.
7. RESTRICTED ASSETS:
Certain assets held by the Masonic Home for Children at November 30, 1987are restricted by the Board of Trustees. They include the cash and cer-tificate of deposit set aside for the retirement plan, the cash surrendervalue of life insurance, and the beneficiary interest in trust.

To The Board of TrusteesMasonic Home for ChildrenAlexandria, Louisiana
We have examined the financial statements of the Masonic Home for Children forthe year ended November 30, 1987, and have issued our report thereon datedJanuary 11, 1988. As part of our examination, we made a study and evaluation ofthe organization's system of internal accounting control to the extent we con-sidered necessary solely to determine the nature, timing, and extent of ourauditing procedures. Our study and evaluation was more limited than would benecessary to express an opinion on the system of internal accounting controltaken as a whole, and we do not express such an opinion.
However, during our examination we became aware of certain matters that, whilenot Involving material weaknesses in internal accounting control, are oppor-tunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency. Thefollowing comments concern those weaknesses and other operational areas togetherwith suggested solutions for your consideration and possible implementation:
We continue to recommend the following:
It is our understanding that the Masonic Home for Children adopted a resolutionto establish a pension plan during the year ended November 30, 1986. Afterexamination of the plan, we have concluded that the provisions in the resolu-tion may not be adequate to obtain approval as a qualified pension plan underthe Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 which sets forthrequirements for retirement plans. We recommend that the Board of Trusteesadopt a plan that meets the aforementioned requirements.
We will be pleased to discuss these comments and our recommendation in furtherdetail at your convenience, to perform any additional study of these matters, orto assist you in implementing the recommendations.

REPORT OF THE MASONIC LAWAND JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE
(1987)
M.W. GRAND MASTER AND BRETHREN:
We, the Masonic Law & Jurisprudence Committee, report asfollows:
I.
With reference to those portions of the Grand Master'saddress referred to this Committee, namely:
Building plans approvedAppointments during YearBy-Laws approved-disapprovedPermissions grantedDispensations grantedDispensations deniedOfficial acts
are all in accordance with Masonic Law and are approved.
II.
With reference to the Rulings, the Grand Master made thefollowing rule:
September 9, 1987-(Northeast Lodge #435)"In response to a requestfrom Northeast Lodge regarding a petitionfrom a blind man, I ruled that since the manwas self-sufficient, and gainfully employed,Northeast Lodge could receive the petition ofJeffrey Lynn Rainwater."
212 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE
The committee reports that we have no specific provisions inThe Handbook of Masonic Law with reference to applications ofblind persons. The only provision which is applicable is foundin Article VI, of the General Regulations, page 29 of The Hand-book of Masonic Law, and provides "....no Lodge shall receivethe application of one who cannot speak, understand, read andwrite the language used by the Lodge to confer the degrees andtransact its business, nor of one mentally incapacitated orseriously physically handicapped "
Several Grand Jurisdictions have specific legislationdealing with blind persons. Generally, the rule to be followedis that if a person is legally blind, but not totally blind,it lies within the discretion of the Grand Master to accept orreject the applicant. The general purpose of our requirementsas contained in Article VI, General Regulations, is that anapplicant should be able to see and understand the ritual andaccordingly, should be able to speak, understand, read and writethe language used by the Lodge and should be able to recognizeor communicate any sign or symbol but if seriously physicallyhandicapped to the extent that this is not possible, by beingtotally blind, then the application should not be received.
III.
EDICTS
During the year the Grand Master issued an Edict effectiveOctober 13, 1987 in response to an amendment to the By-Laws(Article XXIII, par. 3238, sub-sections (e) and (f) of theImperial Council of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles ofthe Mystic Shrine of North America) which was adopted and be-came effective on June 25, 1987 providing for an appeal to theImperial Council when a Noble (member of the Shrine) lo%t,*mem-bership in a pre-reguisite Masonic body for any reason otherthan non-payment of dues and if the appeal was sustained bythe Imperial Council, then the loss of membership in the pre-requisite Masonic Body would not result in the Noble's loss ofmembership in his Shrine Temple.
The Edict issued by the Grand Master sets forth and recog-nizes that The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, Free andAccepted Masons, is the sole legal power of symbolic Masonryand sovereign in the State of Louisiana, and so recognized byall Masonic Grand Jurisdictions throughout the world and thatall true Masons within this Grand Jurisidiction owe obedienceto The Grand Lodge and are obligated to conform to every regu-lation and edict of The Grand Lodge, and further recognizes thatthe amendment to the By-Laws of the Imperial Council, A.A.O.N.M.S.,conflicts with and is repugnant to the Constitution and regula-tions of The Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana as well asthe Principles of Freemasonry, and issued the edict which provides:
1.
Loss of membership in a constituent Lodge within thisJurisdiction automatically results in the loss of membership inany appendant, concordant, or related Masonic bodies or associa-tion, including the Shrine.
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 213
2 .
Jerusalem Temple, El Karubah Temple, Habibi Temple, BarakTemple and Acacia Temple, shall not permit a Shriner who isunder suspension or expulsion from any constituent Lodge, regard-less of the reason therefor, to retain membership in the re-spective Temples or sit in a tiled meeting of the Temple.
3.

OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 215
