Chaplins CornerBrothers, Once again the celestial bell has tolled for one of our own. MW Roy Crowther

passed to the Celestial Lodge above on September 7, 2013. He will be greatly missed by all Brothersof the Fraternity in Florida as he was the Grand Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of Florida for manyyears. Also during this time we wish to offer our deepest sympathy to MW Robert P. Harry on thepassing of his mother. Brothers, we also lost the widow of our MW John Kavanaugh, Lady Mikki.

These are all great losses to their families and I urge all Brothers to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Recently Brothers, we discovered that one of our Brothers, who had been lost to us due to no good ad-dress or forwarding to his family, has passed away. His date of passing was December 13, 2010. This justcame to light Brothers, so please if you can, confirm your address with the Secretary and keep the GrandLodge and our Lodge informed of your address or any changes. We dont wish this to happen again ever.

-Leesburg Lodge Chaplin -

Brothers,Some of you who came to Lodge and saw your officers

display their skills in rendering the Fellow Craft Degree, not only saw very fine work, but also saw the resultsof practice, practice, practice. Your officers had been practicing once every week since they displayed their

skills in the rendering of the Entered Apprentice Degree. This brothers is "DEDICATION". Being an officerrequires lots of dedication on the part of individuals. The rewards are few except when the "job" is done andall went well. This is the reward for this type of dedication. In case I scribbled to fast, I want to point out "theofficers showed up for practice one night every week ". On Monday night the 25th of November 2013, willYOU be dedicated enough to come to Lodge, and see and watch the Brothers who would like to govern yourLodge? This requires their time and skills to fulfill their duties in the offices they are elected or appointed to.

To the Past Masters, all of you "have gone there and done it". YES you have, and thank you!! Maybeyou all should think about giving back to the incoming group of officers. Your floor work may be a little hazy,and your ritual may have been forgotten in parts. BUT, you all have had the experience of being in the"chairs", you have also been "The Worshipful Master". You have shown DEDICATION to the Craft.You have had to fix what was broken, and most of all you sometimes wondered whether you lived at the

Lodge. DEDICATION was your driving point. You saw that some times you were not told of things youshould have been made aware of. You did the best to correct whatever it was.

To close this "dissertation" I ask that all brothers who would like to serve the Lodge pay close attentionto the word "DEDICATION". Your current "line" has shown that they are DEDICATED to serving you andyour Lodge to their fullest extent. May the great Architect view your labors and grant you peace.

HISTORY OF THE MASONIC APRON

The apron is not a modern invention; in fact,

aprons have been used in religious rites since timeimmemorialespecially when deliver-

ing burnt offerings and blood sacrifices

of various animals on the altars of an-

cient gods. On monuments and wall

paintings in ancient Egypt, a garment

which can best be described as a trian-

gular apron with the point upward, is

depicted in circumstances indicating that

the wearer is taking part in some kind ofceremony or initiation. In China, some

of the ancient figures of the gods wear

semi-circular aprons and some of these

gods are often depicted making the sign of a well-

known high-degree. In Central America, the an-

cient gods are constantly sculpted wearing aprons.

Its therefore no surprise that in ancient times,

priests wore similar aprons as a sign

of their allegiance to the gods and as

a badge of their authority. The earli-

est ceremonial apron known to be

used in Palestine was introduced by

a priest-king around 2200 BC.

These priests had their aprons made

out of white lamb skin. White lamb-

skin was eventually adopted by the

Freemasons who have ever since

used it for their aprons. Therefore

when it is explained to a candidatethat the apron is more ancient than

the Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle; more honorable

than the Star or Garter, he is not simply exaggerating

to make a point, he may actually be stating an actual

truth.

In any case there is a legend describ-

ing why Freemasons use lambskins for their

From the Secretarys Desk

W Hank DeBerryGreetings Brothers. Well I have asked

and asked but I guess it has not gotten through, so I

will be sending out Final Dues Notices to 39 Broth-

ers on the first day of this month. It is an onerous

task that I have to do, but, I will do it. If you have areason for not paying your dues that you are obli-

gated to pay, then please contact me as soon as pos-

sible so we can assist you! Brothers, no one in this

Lodge wants to see anyone go NPD. We have a pro-

gram in place to assist those in need when they are

unable through infirmity or financial situation. This

is the Emeritus program and has been in use for

years. There is no shame in being placed on the

Emeritus list. It is set up to assist our Brothers be-cause of circumstances beyond their control have

arisen and they are unable to help themselves. We

sincerely hope that the Brothers placed on Emeritus

can recover and be taken off the list but if they cant

be, then, we must continue to support them, as they

ARE our Brothers!

Congratulations to new Fellow Craft

Brothers, James Thomas and Norman Novis, who

were passed to the degree of Fellow Craft on Sep-

tember 23, 2013. We had two brothers from Cler-

mont Lodge No. 226 come through the degree also,

Bro. James Gasque and Bro. William Bennington.

We look forward to seeing all these Brothers ad-

vance to the sublime degree soon. Our Officers of

Leesburg Lodge did a fine job of putting on the de-

gree and should be commended for their hard work

in the weeks leading up to it, in preparing. As usual

there was a beautiful Lecture given by R.:H.: Au-

brey Cross and an equally beautiful Charge given byW.: Bob Browning. Both of these Brothers do an

outstanding job every time we have ever asked them.

Last but certainly not least Brothers, is the

fact that we are fast approaching the end of the year

and need to think about our Lodge Officers for next

year. It is your choice for the Lodge Brothers

and the decision is yours alone. Take due no-

tice and vote for the good of the Lodge.

aprons which can be traced back to the building of King Solomons Temple. When the temple was under con-

struction, workmen were selected to carry out the different trades. Hiram, the Widows Son, proclaimed that

before entering upon the undertaking, the aid of God should first be invoked. As the temple was to be Gods

Holy House and erected to him, each workman having a part in the construction should offer a sacrifice to

God. The lamb in all ages has been deemed an emblem of innocence and was offered in sacrifice. Hiram had

the skins of the lambs made into aprons. The aprons were then given to the workmen. Finally, the Templarrulers forbade any personal decoration except the sheepskin, and further requires that the Templar wear a

sheepskin girdle about his waist at all times as a reminder of his vow of chastity, a context within which purity

and innocence are vital.

There is little doubt that the Masonic apron evolved from those worn by operative masons to protect

their clothes from being soiled. In Medieval times, all Masons, whether Free Masons

or Guild Masons, used aprons when at work. This type of apron used by speculatives

had changed very little in the middle of the 18th Century from those used by operative

counterparts. These aprons were long, coming down to below the knees, with a flap

or bib to protect the chest.

It was the speculative Mason who at some point in the 1750s began to deco-

rate their aprons. At this point in time, no definite scheme existed and each brother

was free to adorn his apron as he saw fit.

Now in 1813, the union of the Grand Lodge of England between the Ancient and Modern branches of

English Freemasonry brought into many changes in dress and ritual which prevail to this day. However, it was

felt they needed to standardize the look and deign of aprons and the results what we have today.

As you can see, the apron is not just a piece of regalia for cosmetic effect. It is a vital part of our ritual

and a very honorable garment -- one that we should treasure.Brethren, if youre interested, there is a lot more about our Masonic apron on the Web -- just Google

Masonic Aprons.

The History of the York Rite

The York Rite or American Rite is one of several

Rites of Freemasonry. A Rite is a series of progres-

sive degrees that are conferred by various Masonic

organizations or bodies, each of which operates un-

der the control of its own central authority. The

York Rite specifically is a collection of separate Ma-

sonic Bodies and associated Degrees that would oth-

erwise operate independently. The three primary

bodies in the York Rite are the Chapter of Royal

Arch Masons, Council of Royal & Select Masters or

Council of Cryptic Masons, and the Knights Tem-

plar orCommandry, each of which are governed

independently but are all considered to be a part of

the York Rite. There are also other organizations

that are considered to be directly associated with the

York Rite, or require York Rite membership to joinsuch as the York Rite Sovereign Collegebut in

general the York Rite is considered to be made up of

the aforementioned three.

The Rite's name is derived

from the city of York,

where, according to a Ma-

sonic legend, the first

meetings of Masons in

England took place, al-though only the lectures of

the York Rite Sovereign

College make reference to

that legend.

A MAN PLUCK OFF HIS

SHOE & GIVE IT TO HIS

NEIGHBOR

In a small town in mid-

19th century America a young

man said to his wife, "Mary, you

have a shawl you never use. May I have it?" She was puzzled

for a few moments, but got the shawl. He thanked her and left

the house. She was also suspicious, because several eveningsduring the past few months he had left after dinner without

any explanation. He was never gone long, and when he re-

turned he seemed to have an inner peace about him. He said

nothing, and neither did she.

About a week later, Mary was shopping in the village when

she saw her shawl again. She was shocked. It was on the

shoulders of a beautiful young lady. Angrily Mary followed

the girl to a shabby shack. Mary knocked on the door. The girl

opened it and smiled when she saw the visitor. She held the

door open and Mary stomped in. As Mary looked around she

saw an elderly lady propped up on a cot. The lady smiled andsaid; "How nice of you to visit us." Mary was stunned. She

did not really know what to say. The girl asked if she could

fix her a cup of tea. Mary nodded and the girl turned to put a

kettle on the stove. While the water was heating, Mary said "I

do not know exactly what to say, so I will tell you the truth. I

saw my shawl on your daughter and I was furious. Last week

my husband asked me for it, but didn't tell me why. I still

don't understand how you have it." The mother said "We have

no idea who left it. We have no idea who has been doing some

nice things for us for the past several months. Perhaps now we

can solve the mystery. It started soon after my husband died.

We had no money and I am unable to work. And Nancy

couldn't find a job. We were desperate. We had no food and

no fuel. Then one morning when Nancy opened the door she

found several packages of food, clothing and coal on the door-

step. You have no idea what that meant to us. "A short time

later, along with more packages, Nancy found a note telling

her to see Mr. Tompkins, the lawyer, if she would like a job.

She did and Mr. Tompkins hired her. He sent a doctor to see

me, and he has been coming regularly ever since. He won't

take any money. And we still find packages, but have no idea

where they come from. They drank their tea and chattedpleasantly for some time. The mysterious packages were men-

tioned from time to time. Suddenly Mary asked: "Was your

husband a Mason?" "Yes, he was," said the lady. "He loved

his Lodge. I don't think he ever missed a meeting." A short

time later Mary left, promising to visit often. After dinner that

evening, Mary worked on a quilt she was making while her

husband read. She looked up from her work and said "I think I

learned the great secret of Masonry today."

Continued from page 6

The York Rite is one of the appendant bodies of Free-

masonry that a Master Mason may join to further his

knowledge of Freemasonry. But the York Rite is not

found as a single system worldwide, and outside of the

York Rite there are often significant differences in rit-

ual, as well as organization. However in most cases pro-vided that the Grand Body in

question regards the parent

"Craft" jurisdiction as regular,

each distinct Order has recog-

nized fraternal inter-relations

with the respective Grand Body

within the York system.

Since the York Rite is actually a

grouping of separate organiza-tions joined in order, each body operates with relative

autonomy. And though they are referred to as one rite it

is common for individuals to be member of some bodies

and not others. For example in many jurisdictions Cryp-

tic Masonry can be skipped allowing the person to be a

member of just the Royal Arch and Knights Templar. It

is also common for non-

Christians to join only the

Royal Arch and Council of

Royal & Select Masters as the

Knights Templar require mem-

bers to be of the Christian faith.

But no matter what the Royal

Arch is always required and

membership in that body must

be kept in order to main-

tain membership in the

other two bodies.

Her husband looked at her with alarm and asked, " And what is

it?" Mary answered, "To do good and not say anything about it."

The Masons of that small town had plucked off their shoes to

help those in need. SHOULD WE DO ANYTHING LESS? Mil-

lions of great men have been and are members of the Craft.

Many have become truly Master Masons. But more have not.

Actually, only a few Freemasons over the years literally luckedoff a shoe and worked for the Fraternity. Imagine what a won-

derful difference it should make throughout the world if only

those millions who have received the Degrees would fulfill their

obligations. Will you ask yourself - "Have I sincerely plucked

off my shoe in testimony of my fidelity to Freemasonry? If

your answer is "No," will you consider plucking off

your shoe? Will you work for your fellowman through Freema-

sonry? If you will, you'll make a difference for the better in to-

day's uncertain world.
