Putting children first. It’s a philosophy that rallied Dallas ortho-pedic surgeon William Beall Carrell, M.D., and

a group of Masons in 1921 to establish Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. During the 1920s, the po-lio epidemic was affecting hundreds of thousands of children across the country and throughout the state of Texas. Concerned about the consequences of the disease, Dr. Carrell began to treat local children with polio without charge at his Dallas clinic.

As Dr. Carrell’s polio caseload continued to grow, the Masons raised the necessary funds to build and open a hospital with Dr. Carrell at the helm. The origi-nal building was a fifteen-bed facility located on three acres at the corner of Welborn Street and Maple Ave-nue. As the number of patients continued to increase, the need to build a larger, more modern facility was evident. In 1977, a new hospital, built on six levels and covering 400,000 square feet, opened its doors. By the late 1980s, a new 200,000-square-foot addition to the facility was completed.

Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children truly is a special place where every child is treated with compas-sion, generosity and respect. It is a place that provides some of the finest medical care in a child-friendly envi-ronment, while always putting children’s medical needs above all else. Since its inception, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children has treated more than 130,000 patients and touched the lives of many through its commitment to research and study. Today, we provide ongoing care for more than 13,000 children.

Cathedral Endowment Fund (Million Dollar Club)

The Cathedral Endowment Fund of the San Antonio Scottish Rite Li-brary and Museum, Inc., is a fully tax exempt means of saving for the fu-ture. The Fund is the principal insur-

ance against inflation and maintenance costs, and is the major means by which we can save the beautiful Cathedral and the Library and Museum for our chil-dren’s children. Interest earned by the Fund is used to improve, maintain, repair and support the Cathedral, to preserve it for the ages.

It is critical that the Fund continue to grow, for as the Cathedral ages, the cost of maintenance and improvement also grows. Membership in the Million Dollar Club can be obtained for $1,000.00, either in cash, pledge or bequest through a will or insurance policy. Each leaf on the “Tree of Life” in the Hall of Honor attests to the generosity of members and their families.

Scottish Rite Dormitory for WomenScottish Rite Dormitory, known affectionately as

SRD since 1922, is situated on seven expansive and gorgeous acres just one block north of The University of Texas at Austin. Close to the hustle and bustle of UT, SRD has maintained the elegant tra-ditions of the past and blends them with modern amenities to provide a special place where the whole per-son is considered and supported. All Scottish Rite Masons are invited to stop by for a tour.

Scottish Rite Learning Center of South Texas (Dyslexia)

The Scottish Rite Learning Center is a charitable foundation created by the San Antonio Scottish Rite Bodies of Freemasonry, and chartered by the State of Texas. It was created and dedi-cated to assisting children with learn-

ing disabilities. These are children who, despite nor-mal to above normal intelligence cannot learn to read or write without special training. The Learning Center wants to help these children to become productive and worthwhile citizens.

The Learning Center is funded entirely by con-tributions from Masons and non-Masons alike. It is a 100% tax exempt foundation and donations to it are 100% tax deductible. The Foundation offers an oppor-tunity for gracious giving. A gift is a precious thing, and through it, the giver can live forever in the hearts of others.

No charges are made for any of the services of the Learning Center. The Learning Center operates with extremely low overhead, with all administrative re-quirements and costs met by the use of volunteers and through cooperative agreements with the San Antonio Scottish Rite Bodies and the San Antonio Scottish Rite Library and Museum, Inc.

Since its beginning the Learning Center has moved from the training and employment of special-ized teachers to the implementation of a new break-through teaching device: a two-year video tape course developed by the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. The new video course enables any qualified teacher to conduct the course of corrective training, using the OrtonGillingham Multi-sensory Alphabetic Phonics procedure.

As contributions are made available to the Learn-ing Center, continued expansion of the new program throughout South Texas will be pursued, and more and more children can be helped. Phone (210) 222-0133 in the San Antonio area or (866) 222-9293 toll-free.

The Order of DeMolay for Boys was founded in 1919 in Kansas City, Missouri, by a young Scottish Rite Mason named Frank S. Land, who saw a need for a youth program which provided leadership and or-ganizational training as well as a strong moral foundation. Starting with just nine young men, the Or-

der quickly began spreading across the United States. Immediately sensing the importance of this fledgling group, the members of the San Antonio Scottish Rite Bodies set about bringing a DeMolay Chapter to town.

On June 30, 1921, Albert Pike Chapter No. 58 was instituted under the sponsorship of the San Antonio Council Knights Kadosh. The Chapter soon flourished as the young DeMolays built one of the most active Chapters in Texas under the guidance of an Advisory Council composed primarily of Scottish Rite Masons.

Today, our DeMolay Chapter is the largest in a De-Molay International which now spans all fifty states and many foreign countries, and it continues to pro-vide a fun and educational atmosphere for the young men of San Antonio. The three large trophy cases which stand in the south end of the lower hall are a testament to the success of the young men of Albert Pike Chapter and should be a great source of pride for all San Antonio Scottish Rite Masons.

FAST FACTS ABOUT DeMOLAY:• Membership is open to young men between the

ages of 13 and 21. A Masonic relationship is not a prerequisite for membership in DeMolay.

• Meetingsare held every Monday evening at 7:30 PM in the “DeMolay Room” of the Scottish Rite Cathedral. All Master Masons are encouraged to attend any DeMolay function.

• DeMolaysaretaughtsevenCardinalVirtues: Filial Love (Love of Parents), Reverence for Sacred Things, Courtesy, Comradeship, Fidelity, Clean-ness, and Patriotism.

Albert Pike Chapter No. 58 has been awarded Chapter of the Year in Texas fourteen times, while Al-bert Pike Priory No. 38 has been awarded Priory of the Year in Texas twelve times. In ritualistic and athletic competitions the Chapter has won four international championships, and eight regional championships in competition with Chapters in Texas and several other

In State competition with DeMolay Chapters in Texas the Chapter has won 45 State championships in ritualistic competition, 111 State Championships in athletic competition, 59 State Championships in ora-torical competition, and 37 championships in Central Texas Area competition including 29 Area ritual cham-pionships and 8 Area athletic championships.

Degrees of the Scottish Rite of FreemasonryIntroduction to the Degrees

The work of the Scottish Rite is to inspire and teach man that he must improve, refine, and perfect

himself. He must become a fit and worthy recipient of the Royal Secret, with the requisite knowledge that such a responsibility demands.

The Degrees of the Scottish Rite constitute a jour-ney towards ever-broadening horizons of knowledge. They teach of virtue, honor, truth, and the duty to direct one’s life towards those ends in all we think, speak, and do.

Though each Degree, or Body of Degrees, may have a general theme, no Degree teaches only a single

lesson, just as no symbol has only a single meaning. Rather, our Rite is a great tapestry of knowledge, where various threads of moral, ethical, philosophical, reli-gious, political, and mystical thought and symbolism are interwoven to create a great Body of teachings and lessons. These lessons have their application both for the individual and for society as a whole. Some of the lessons are easily apparent; others reveal themselves only to the determined seeker or worker in the quar-ry.

What you put into your Scottish Rite experience will be returned to you in like measure.

4° - Secret MasterThe Fourth Degree is the first step into the inner sanctuary of the Spiritual Temple, where he who seeks, finds Truth. In this Degree we are to learn the duty of obedience to law, not to the edict of a tyrant, contrary to the law of God or nature, but the law that is an expression of the will and judgement

of the people and for the benefit of the whole people.

5° - Perfect MasterThe Fifth Degree, emphasizes the two virtues, Industry and Honesty. The Master Khurum (Hiram) had both of these virtues. Idleness, the great enemy of growth, whether mental or spiritual, is the brewer of mischief and vice. “To sleep little, study much, say little, think and hear much, to learn to do earnestly

and vigorously whatever is required by duty” are the precepts of the Mason who follows the Master. A Mason should always be honest in his contracts, sincere in his statements, and keep all promises and covenants even to his own disadvantage.

6° - Confidential SecretaryThe Sixth Degree teaches us to be zealous, faithful, disinterested and benevolent. No good Mason can be worldly, covetous or sensual, but must be kind and affectionate, broadminded and charitable; keeping thoughts only on the good and true, with a feeling

of thankfulness for all favors rendered and a sincere desire to do unto his Brother as he would wish done unto him.

7° - Provost and JudgeThe Seventh Degree, or Provost and Judge, has for its chief lesson the great principle of justice. Those with the power of judgement should judge impartially without any personal consideration, without prejudice or preconception and without

haste. Two kinds of injustice may be done to a fellow-man: one where a man does an injury to another, the other where he fails to avert an injury both by God and man, yet the consequences remain. In judging a wrong we should remember the motive and temptation. Some men are born with noble instincts, while others are less fortunate. Perhaps the man who leads a clean life has never had the temptation which came to his fallen brother; so we should judge with charity and pitying kindness.

8° - Intendant of the BuildingThe Eighth Degree impresses upon the candidate the futility of advancing unless the lessons already taught have been carefully considered. The

jurisprudence, learning and morality of Masonry and not merely the work and ceremonies should have our most profound thought and attention. We are seekers after Light and we shoul d consider the earthly life of ours a field for noble action, the beginning of heaven and a part of immortality. This Degree teaches us that we have high duties to perform and a high destiny to fulfill on this Earth. We should love this Earth as the garden on which the Creator has lavished such miracles of beauty, has made it the dwelling place of the wise and the good, the place of opportunity for the development of the noblest passions, the tenderest sympathies and the loftiest virtues.

9° - Elu of the NineThis Degree is consecrated to bravery, devotedness and patriotism. Its duties are summed up in “Protect the oppressed against the oppressor and devote yourself to the honor and interest of your country.” Masonry calls for active service in comforting the unfortunate and raising the degraded. It requires

initiates to work actively and earnestly for the benefit of their brethren, their country and mankind. Most men have sentiment to the right, but do the wrong. They may talk much of virtue but live little of it. They may even talk much of wrongs but do little to eradicate them. He who fights against cruelty, oppression, wrongs and abuse fights for his country’s honor. Life is not measured by days, but by the deeds we have done for our fellow man and our country. “Unselfish and noble acts are the most radiant epochs in the biography of souls. When wrought in earliest youth, they lie in the memory of age like the coral islands, green and sunny, amidst the melancholy waste of ocean.”

10° - Elu of the FifteenThis Degree is devoted to religious and political toleration and to the enlightenment of the mind of soul. Toleration holds that every man has a right to his opinion, and liberally claims that no human being can say he alone knows the Truth. Whatever a man sincerely and concientiously believes is

truth to him, and only through enlightenment and education are intolerance and fanaticism put down. Masonry is not a religion, but is founded on the essential truths of all religions; it is the universal morality underlying every creed. A belief in the one true God and a moral and virtuous life are the only requirements that Masonry promulgates as a necessity for membership.

12° - Master ArchitectThe human soul ever travels toward the Light and God. It never loses the sense of its own powers, but there are many faculties within us of which we are

dimly conscious; to arouse that slumbering soul-consciousness to the realization of Truth is the divinest object of all human helpfulness. Masonry strives to develop these half-forgotten, God-given traits and to accept them as their guide. Life is what each man makes of it; the optimist turns every trial into a blessing, the pessimist sees only ruin and disaster. All our earthly transactions and institutions are based on faith in our fellow-man. How much more so must we believe in God. The belief in a Supreme Being is an instinct in all races. No man can suffer and be patient, can struggle and conquer, can improve and be happy without faith in a just, wise and beneficent God.

13° - Royal Arch of SolomonFor centuries the Hebrews have been forbidden to pronounce the sacred name of God and whenever it occured they have read the name “Adonai” instead.

The knowledge of the true pronunciation was supposed to give to the possessor supernatural powers. This idea of the sanctity of the Creator’s name was common to all ancient nations. Among them the conception of God varied according to their intellectual capacities; among the ignorant He was invested with the lower attributes of humanity, among the spiritual He was a Being, pure and holy. This knowledge of God, however, was not given out to the common people, but was kept secret by the favored few. The communication of this knowledge of the true nature of the Creator, with other esoteric truths, is what is now called Free Masonry, which under other names has existed since the beginning of the human race.

This Degree, in fact, forms the climax of the ineffable Masonry. It is the keystone of the Arch and discovers that which is revealed in the succeeding Degree of Perfection. It is a most important and interesting grade, and so intimately connected with its successor as to appear like a section of that Degree. The dark clouds and mists that have hitherto veiled the sacred mysteries now begin to be dispelled; the glorious dawn illuminates the East with its bright effulgence, and its rays penetrate into dark and hidden places.

14° - Perfect EluThis Degree is the last of the Lodge of Perfection, and we have reached the point where each individual Mason must discover the secret of Masonry for himself. This can be done only upon reflection of its symbols, and a wise consideration and analysis of what is said and done in the work. Perfect

Truth is unattainable, yet we must ever press on, more nearly approaching it. We receive as much of the Divine Light as we are capable of understanding. God has arranged His great purpose so that each man has a work to do, a duty to perfom to help in the progress of the great plan for enlightenment and growth. The Mason believes that the sorrows and trials of this life are a part of the plan of God designed to purify and strengthen our souls. Surely a wise and merciful God would not send these things upon His children without some ultimate good resulting. On this life depends our future well-being, and we should so live that death will have no terror for us, but will only be a release from the earth to spiritual realms above.

15° - Knight of the EastThe Fifteenth Degree is the first Degree of the Rose Croix, and the leading lesson is fidelity to obligations and constancy under difficulty. Masonry carries on a war against ignorance, intolerance and error. The chief stumbling blocks on the way to success in this

crusade are the indifference of its own members and the world. Masonry teaches that God is paternal, having concern for each individual, for each individual soul is an emanation from Him, made for good and not for evil. We must, therefore, persevere even as the ancient Brethren have done, notwithstanding all obstacles. We must resist temptation and be upright and virtuous, assisting in God’s great plan for the eternal salvation of the universe. We must pass through the darkness to reach the Light.

16° - Prince of JerusalemThe story of the rebuilding of the Temple at Jerusalem is of peculiar interest to Masons, and while we no longer plan to rebuild it, yet its story

ever conveys to us the thought that the world and every noble heart is God’s Temple, and we should labor to establish the reign of love and peace, thus building a lasting temple to God. The trowel is the emblem of this Degree, teaching Masons the ennobling effect of honest labor. The work of the soul, developing the virtue of patience and gentleness ought to be as important to us as earning our daily bread. The beauty of Love, charm of Friendship, the sacredness of Sorrow, the heroism of Patience, the nobleness of Sacrifice, make life to be life indeed, and we are its grandeur and power. They are the priceless treasures and glory of humanity.

The story of Cyrus and the adventures of Darius form one of the most interesting and fascinating chapters in the history of the Persian Empire. They are rich in tradition and clouded in fable, and yet Scriptural and historical reference to their deeds and exploits entitle them to a position among the empire builders of Persia – men with vision and foresight, whose efforts at conquest and attempts at the liberation of oppressed peoples seem to have been divinely authorized. It is upon these epochs in Persian history that the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Degrees are founded, and the lessons in the ritual are drawn from events that transpired during the lives of Cyrus and Darius.

17° - Knight of the East and WestThis is the first of the Philosophical Degrees which penetrate the inner mysteries of Masonry. In all times truth has been concealed in symbols.

At the time of John the Baptist, all the ancient philosophical and religious doctrines became intermingled on account of the various conquests which brought the nations together. John, who taught some creed older than Christianity, must have belonged to a sect of the Essenes, which was very similar to Christianity. It is from the Essenes that this Degree is sprung. The Essenes believed that Truth was scattered throughout the world among different sects. They believed it the duty of every man to gather these fragments of divine revelation into a harmonious whole to be used in spreading the right thinking and right living among mankind. Thus, they combine the thought of the Orient and the Occident, from which fact we draw the name of this Degree.

18° - Knight Rose CroixThe ceremonies of this Degree are interpreted by each individual according to his own faith for in no other way can Masonry retain its universal character. To all antiquity, Light was the type of Good while Darkness was Evil. Evil was a principle

represented in demons and fallen angels, who first having fallen themselves, tempted others to do so, thus bringing sin into the world. The future life was to be obtained by purification and suffering, through the Redeemer who would overcome Evil. The belief was general that He was to be born of a virgin and suffer

11° - Elu of the TwelveThe duties of this Degree are to be earnest, true, reliable and sincere; to protect the people against illegal impositions; and contend for their political rights. It is a Mason’s duty to serve his Brothers, not Masons alone, but all humanity. The safety of every free government depends upon the integrity

of the common people. The nation that bases its greatness on tyranny over prostrate states, heavy and unjust taxation and crafty alliances will find its empire tottering in ruins. Masonry should do all in its power to protect the people, to better their living conditions and to supply their needs.

Council of Knights Kadosh The Chivalric & Philosophical Degrees

19° - PontiffThis is the first Degree of the Council of Kadosh. In it the fact of the influence of the past upon the present and future is forcibly exemplified. The true

Mason labors for the enlightenment of future ages. All good men hope to live after death through the work they have done. We still feel the influence of deeds of heroism done in the past and are uplifted by the monuments of art and literature of ages gone by. It is the dead that govern. The living only obey. The thoughts of the Past are the Laws of the Present and the Future. That which shall live when we are dead, as a part of the great body of law enacted by the dead, is the only act worth doing, the only thought worth speaking. Then let us so live that our acts may endure to uplift a Brother yet unborn.

20° - Master of the Symbolic LodgeAs Grand Master of all Lodges, one must first learn to be able to teach. There is nothing more sublime than leading the initiate into the sublime truth of Masonry, but to do so properly requires study and thought. The legends and allegories recited by

Masonry are of worth only when understood. The lessons of this degree are Liberty, Fraternity and Equality. These must be applied to everyday life and not reserved for the lodge room only. The world will judge us by our acts and Masonry itself will be judged by the character of its members. Let the light shine always.

21° - Noachite or Prussian KnightIn the 21st Degree we are admonished to be modest and humble, speaking only of the good in mankind and forgetting the evil. Slander is the exact opposite to mercy, for “Mercy blesseth him that gives and him that takes” while slander curses him that speaks

it, and to say the least, does no good to the other. Our ancient brethren met to redress wrongs and defend the helpless. Masonry today has the same greaet mission and woe to him who would attempt to destroy it.

22° - Knight of the Royal AxeThe lessons of this degree have always been of great moment to a large number of people. The respect

for labor itself and sympathy for the laboring classes are purely Masonic. Masonry has made the working man and his associates the heroes of her principal legend, and himself the companion of kings. From first to last, Masonry is work. Labor is man’s great function, his peculiar distinction and his privilege. He pours his own thoughts into the molds of nature, fashioning them into forms of grace and fabrics of convenience. But greater than these, every man has work to do in himself, upon his own soul and intellect, and so may attain the highest nobleness and grandeur on earth or in Heaven.

23° - Chief of the TabernacleIn most of the ancient ceremonies of public worship and private rites, called Mysteries, only the initiated could attend. Only after years of practice of the

most rigid virtue, and great spiritual development, could the initiated hope to attain the greater mysteries. These ceremonies were often held at night in some secret place and consisted of sacred dramas, portraying some legend which contained a lesson, but little explanation was given and each candidate was left to interpret the truths for himself. Moses undoubtedly received from the Egyptians these Mysteries and in turn taught them to the Hebrew priesthood, emphasizing the doctrine of the one God, supreme and unapproachable.

death. The Cross has been a sacred symbol of earliest antiquity among many nations, with various meanings. In this degree its interpretation was taken from the Egyptian hieroglyphic for life emananting from Deity, the eternal life for which we all hope. The Rose is the symbol of dawn, of the resurrection of life. Together the Rose and Cross represent the dawn of eternal life. In all religions there is a basis of Truth; in all there is a pure Morality. All that teaches the cardinal tenets of Masonry we respect; all teachers and reformers of mankind we admire and revere. Masonry also has her mission to perform. With her traditions reaching back to the earliest times, and her symbols dating further back than even the monumental history of Egypt extends, she invites all men of all religions to enlist under her banners and to war against evil, ignorance and wrong.

24° - Prince of the TabernacleThe Jewish tabernacle was more symbolic than an ordinary reading of the Scriptures would indicate. Whether it was copied after other religions or not has never been settled to the satisfaction of the

leading scholars. Josephus, the great Hebrew historian, says that in the construction of it, and its vestments and sacred vessels, the whole world was in some way represented. In this we again see the influence of the Egyptian teachings. The twelve loaves of shew bread signify the twelve months of the year and the candlestick the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Philo asserts that the cherubim represented the two hemispheres.

Symbols were the univeral language of ancient theology. Symbolic instruction was the uniform usage of antiquity as a system of mysterious communication. The Mysteries were a series of symbols which strive to recall man to his Divine Origin, and point out to him the means of returning hither. The great science acquired in the Mysteries was knowledge of man’s self, of the nobleness of his origin, the grandeur of his destiny, and his superiority over the animals, which can never acquire this knowledge. The human mind still speculates upon the great mysteries of nature, and still finds its ideals anticipated by the ancients, whose profound thoughts are to be looked for, not in their philosophies, but in their symbols, by which they endeavored to express the great ideas that vainly struggled for utterance in words, as they viewed the great circle of phenomena – Birth, Life, Death, and New Life out of Death – to them the greatest of mysteries.

25° - Knight of the Brazen SerpentThe serpent was regarded in olden days with reverence and was known as the author of the fate of souls. The serpet in coil with his head erect was the royal ensign of the Pharaohs. Other mysteries as well as those of the Hebrews and Gnostics consecrated it. In those of Bacchus Saba-Zeos it

was flung into the bosom of the initiate. In a system of degrees to complete the Scottish Rite, it was necessary to teach every religion and philosophy known, and so in this degree, we find the moral lessons of some of the older religions taught with vigor, especially that of the mystical death which symbolizes the descent of the soul into the infernal regions and afterwards its rise to the state of light, truth and perfection.

26° - Prince of MercyTo know many sciences and to know them thoroughly is an impossible task for our finite minds. But we can take time from our daily tasks to learn a little. That the light from some great sun has been traveling toward the earth for many centuries

and is not yet visible to us is almost unbelievable, when we know that light travels 186,000 miles each second, and yet is it any more wonderful to know that the great tree, the clinging vine and the little plant all sprang from seeds so similar that only a botanist can tell one from another? The truth is that everything in nature is a mystery to us and we are mysteries to ourselves. Then let us watch and pray for that understanding which comes only after being tried in the fire of time and experience.

27° - Knight of the Sun or Prince Adept

Practical charity, knightly attributes of character, and a scorn for the base and selfish...are but a few of the lessons taught in this degree. Truth and honor are more to be cultivated than the gathering of wealth and power, and while we have been studying

the historical, philosophical and religious lessons of Masonry, let us not forget the practical side of it, ever remembering our duties to the poor and helpless, the weak and the unhappy.

28° - Knight Commander of the Temple

The study of the ancient religions is of such vast proportions, that were one able to devote his entire lifetime to it, he could not hope to complete it. The worship of the sun and its planets, with more or

less variations, was the most prevalent, although originally the planets, as well as fire, light and heat, were but symbols or rather the outward manifestations of the Supreme Being or Intellect. Almost every heathen nation, or at least all of whose mythology we have any knowledge, believed in one supreme God, whose name was never uttered. All rites and creeds, the evolution of some one or more of these ancient beliefs, have come down to us, sometimes purified by experience and added wisdom, but often a distorted vision has made what was once pure gold nothing but dross. This Degree especially was the real belief of our first Brethren, who lived long before the Pyramids of Egypt or the first Babylon.

29° - Scottish Knight of St. AndrewTraditions and folk songs, handed down through the ages, are the foundation stones for the building of national character. The glorious achievements of our ancestors are the beacon lights of our efforts today. The Cross of St. Andrew has always been the emblem of humility, patience and self-denial, and

even more than these, that of charity and forebearance for the weak, the poor and the helpless. The knights of old held virtue and truth and honor the most essential qualities of character.

30° - Knight KadoshOf all the Degrees of the Scottish Rite, we should consider this one of the most important. “Lives of great men,” as the poet has said, “remind us we can make our lives sublime.” If in death there is life, then the great martyrs of history live indeed in the hearts of the follwers after Truth. Every Mason who

has attained this Degree should study the history of the Templars for it is as true now as then that the esoteric teachings of Masonry are only to be appreciated when studied diligently and continually. This Degree particularly teaches the great necessity of combating arbitrary and unscrupulous power and all influences which would keep the people in ignorance.

Consistory The Ceremonial & Official Degrees

31° - Inspector InquisitorThe title of this Degree conveys the thoughts of self-examination. Every man, and more especially every Mason, should meditate prayerfully and soberly on his thoughts and acts of the day. The wrongs of

today must not be repeated on the morrow, for each day should add some light and truth for our guidance for the next, and then as time goes by, our characters should be so far above reproach, so filled with the love of our fellowman, that the world would instinctively say: “There is a good man, for he is a Mason.” To correct the faults of others, to admonish with love and forbearance, is a duty we owe each other, but never to judge, for that is a divine prerogative alone.

32° - Master of the Royal SecretIn this degree the crowning point is reached by those who have studied and thought. The Royal Secret, like the occult science of the ancients, is concealed even here - but remember, “Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.” Magic, contrary to

the belief of many, is but the absolute science of nature and its laws, hence the Star of Hope shines for us as truly as it did for the Wise Men of the East two thousand years ago. Today, as in the first days of the creation, the univeral equilibrium still retains its predominant position in the eternal plan of the Omnipotent. Good and evil, right and wrong, justice and mercy, attraction and repulsion balance each other to teach us to remeber ourselves as immortal souls, retaining for each other respect and charity and remembering always that each is slowly climbing to that state of perfection, the final goal of all.

“Be sovereign over yourself, be neither intoxicated by success nor depressed by defeat. You must not usurp in order to be enabled to punish usurpation nor must you hate error so much as not to love mankind.”

The double-headed eagle was probably first accepted by Masonry, as a sym-bol, in the year 1758. In that year the body calling itself the Council of Emper-ors of the East and West was established in Paris. The double-headed eagle was likely to have been adopted by this Council, which claimed a double jurisdic-tion; one head inclined to the East to guard any and all who might approach from that direction, the other head guarding the West for a like purpose. The Council adopted a ritual of twenty-five Degrees, all of which are now contained in the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, to which eight more were added so as to make thirty-three Degrees of which our Rite is now composed.

The eagle, as a symbol, is rooted in antiquity. According to Albert G. Mack-ey, the great Masonic encyclopaedist, the bird was sacred to the sun in Egypt, Greece and Persia. To the pagans it was an emblem of Jupiter, and among the Druids it was a symbol of their Supreme Being. A distinguished reference is

frequently made to the eagle in the Scriptures.It is agreed by all that while the single-headed ea-

gle with extended wings as if in the act of flying, has always, from the majestic character of the bird, been deemed an emblem of imperial power and dignity, the extension and multiplication of that power and dignity is symbolized by the two heads. Among the pagans, the eagle also symbolized great strength and endur-ance as evidenced by its keen sight, aerial prowess and resourcefulness in outwitting its prey, never wanting for its daily necessities. Cicero, in speaking of the myth of Ganymede, as having been carried up to Jove on the eagle’s back, states that “It teaches us that the truly wise, illuminated by the shining lights of virtue, become more and more like God, until by wisdom they are borne aloft and soar to him.”

May the shining light of virtue guide and guard our life’s pathway.

Mottoes of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry

LUX E TENEBRIS. Light Out Of Darkness. A motto very commonly used in the caption of Masonic documents as expressive of the object of Freemasonry, and of what the true Freemason supposes himself to have at-tained. It has a recondite meaning. In the primeval ages and in the early mythology, darkness preceded light. So LUX being truth or Freemasonry, and TENEBRAE, or darkness, the symbol of initiation, LUX E TENEBRIS is Masonic truth proceeding from initiation.

VIRTUS JUNXIT, MORS NON SEPARABIT. Virtue Has United, Death Shall Not Separate. A motto inscribed in the Fourteenth Degree ring of the Ancient and Ac-cepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction.

SPES MEA IN DEO EST. My Hope Is In God. The motto of the 32° of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.

DEUS MEUMQUE JUS. God And My Right. The motto of the 33° of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, and hence adopted as that also of the Supreme Council of the Rite. It is a Latin translation of the motto of the royal arms of England, which is “Dieu et mon droit.” A motto inscribed in the Thirty-Third Degree ring of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Ju-risdiction.

ORDO AB CHAO. Order Out Of Chaos. A motto of the 33°, and having the same allusion as LUX E TENEBRIS. The invention of this motto is to be attributed to the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite at Charleston, and it is first met with the Patent of Count de Grasse, dated February 1, 1802.

When de Grasse afterward carried the Rite over to France and established a Supreme Council there, he changed the motto, and according to Lenning, ORDO AB HOC was used by him and his Council in all the documents issued by them. If so, it was apparently just a blunder.

Symbolism of the Double-Headed Eagle

The government of the Scottish Rite is lodged in bodies called Supreme Councils, one for each nation, except the United States of America, where there are two - the Northern having jurisdiction over the fifteen states north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi Rivers, and the Southern having jurisdiction over the other states and territories, our island possessions, China and Japan.

In the Southern Jurisdiction the number of mem-bers of the Supreme Council is fixed at a maximum of 33. The members are elected for life and vacancies are filled by the surviving members. The biennial meet-ings of the Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdic-tion are held at Washington, D.C. The members of the Supreme Council are known as “Active” Thirty-thirds, and there can only be one “Active” 33° in any one state entitled “Sovereign Grand Inspector General.” The Bod-ies in the State constitute an “Orient” and the Bodies in a city constitute a “Valley.”

While the See of the Supreme Council is at Charles-ton, South Carolina, the Supreme Council now sits in Washington, D.C., where its headquarters are main-tained at the House of the Temple. The Supreme Coun-cil meets in October in odd-numbered years.

Organization of the AASR

After the organization of the Grand Lodge of Eng-land in 1717, Masonry became very popular. It passed over the Channel to France in 1721 where many ritu-alists invented numerous “side degrees” subject to no governing body and hawked them about the country and through the continent.

In 1740, Chevalier Ramsey, a Scottish nobleman, gave some famous lectures in Paris and Bordeaux on the origin and objects of Masonry. He subdivided the “Three Degrees” and concocted degrees from the parts explained by his philosophic lectures. He es-tablished a Lodge which he called Harodim, but the French styled it Scotchman’s Lodge Masonry, which fact may have had something to do with the misno-mer, Scottish Rite.

The Scottish Rite had its beginning in France. In 1754, the Chevalier de Bonneville established in the College of Clermont in Paris a chapter of twenty-five so-called “High Degrees.” This college was a sort of refuge for the Stuarts of Scotland, which fact may

have had some bearing on the name Scottish Rite. The body established by Bonneville, including the three symbolic degrees, was called the Rite of Perfection. In 1758, these Degrees were taken by Marquis de Lernais to Berlin where they in the following year were placed under a body called the Council of the Emperors of the East and West, which was formed at Paris from the ruins of the Clermont Chapter.

In 1762, it is said that Frederick the Great “formed and promulgated” what is known as the Constitutions of 1762. In 1786, a reorganization took place in which eight degrees were added to the twenty-five and the name changed to the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. By these Constitutions, Frederick resigned the authority of Grand Commander, which title he had held since the adoption of the Grand Con-stitutions in 1762, and deposited his Masonic preroga-tives with a council in each nation to be composed of Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the Thirty-third and last degree of Freemasonry.

Origins of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry

In 1761, the year before Frederick the Great was said to have taken under his patronage all Masonry in Germany, Stephen Morin of France was commissioned Inspector General for the New World by the Grand Consistory of Sublime Princes of the Royal Secret in Paris to introduce the Rite in America. Morin estab-lished bodies in Santo Domingo and Jamaica, but he did not enter the continent. He did, however, commis-sion Henry Andrew Francken who had come to Jamai-ca to establish the Rite in the American Colonies.

Francken reached New York in 1767 and estab-lished a Lodge of Perfection in Albany, the first in continental “America”. Francken brought a copy of the Grand Constitutions of 1762 with him, which he left at Albany. Both Morin and Francken were given au-thority to establish Lodges and to appoint Inspectors possessing powers equivalent to their own. Records of many established Lodges of Perfection seem to have been lost, but some accounts are still extant. A Lodge of Perfection was established at Philadelphia in 1781. In 1783, one was organized at Charleston, South Caro-lina, by Isaac DeCosta.

The Lodges of Perfection from the beginning were in full harmony with the Symbolic Lodges, assuming no authority over them and invariably beginning their work with the Fourth Degree. Agreeable to the Con-stitution in 1786 the United States was divided into two Masonic Jurisdictions of the Rite. The Northern Masonic Jurisdiction consists of fifteen states, and the Southern Masonic Jurisdiction of thirty-three states. Since 1845, each jurisdiction, “In deference to the Constitution of the York Rite practiced in this country, waives its rights of privileges, so far as they relate to the first three degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry.”

When the Grand Constitutions of 1762 were rati-fied in Berlin and proclaimed throughout the world for the government of the “Ancient and Accepted Rite over the surface of two hemispheres,” a copy was sent to Inspector General Stephen Morin, who accepted the resolutions, Before the adoption of the Constitutions of 1786, which provided for a Supreme Council, no Su-preme Councils had been established. The powers and duties now vested in such councils rested upon the authority of Deputy Inspectors General within certain geographical limits.

The new Constitutions of 1786 provided for a Su-preme Council of nine members in each nation, who had all Masonic prerogatives within their districts. Two Supreme Councils, however, were provided for within the realm of the United States of America with equal powers in their respective jurisdictions.

The first Supreme Council to be established under the Constitutions of 1786 was at Charleston, South Carolina. On May 31, 1801, the Supreme Council of the Thirty-third Degree was “opened with high honors.” It recognized Morin’s Patent of 1761, the Grand Consti-tutions of 1762, and the Grand Constitutions of 1786. The founders of the Council were John Mitchell and Frederick Dalcho, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General who soon enlarged the membership to the requisite number nine. The names added were Emanuel De La Motta, Dr. J. Auld, Dr. James Moultrie, Abraham Alex-ander, M. C. Levy, Thomas B. Bower, and J. De Lieben.

The Supreme Council, 33°, whose See is at Charles-ton, South Carolina, now sitting in Washington, D. C., is in truth, “Mother Council of the World,” but she claims no rights and privileges superior to those tendered her daughters throughout the world.

32° Knight Commanders of the Court of Honour (32° KCCH)At its biennial session certain 32° Masons who have been 32° Masons at least four years, and who have rendered singular service to the Rite, are chosen by the Supreme Council to receive the Rank and Decoration of Knight Commander of the Court of Honour, at the ratio of one K.C.C.H. to every fifty 32° Masons created in the State during the preceding two years. The decoration is conferred in a very impressive ceremony of investiture in the local Bodies. This is a rank and decoration and not a degree. The members who hold it are designated “32° K.C.C.H.” A member must be a K.C.C.H. for at least four years before he can be nominated for election to receive the 33°.

33° Inspectors General HonoraryThe Thirty-third is a Degree conferred by the Supreme Council upon the members of the Rite in recognition of outstanding service to the Rite, or, in public life, to the principles taught in the Degrees. The 33° cannot be asked for, and if asked for must be refused. At its biennial session the Supreme Council elects members of the Rite to receive the Degrees - not more than one 33° for each two hundred 32° Masons created in the State during the preceding two years. These 33° Masons are Inspectors General Honorary and Honorary Members of the Supreme Council. The Active Members of the Supreme Council are chosen from among them.

33° Grand Cross of the Court of HonourBefore the first day of each regular session of the Supreme Council, each Sovereign Grand Inspector General or Deputy of the Supreme Council may, by sealed letter addressed to the Sovereign Grand Commander, nomi-nate one Inspector General Honorary from his Orient for investiture with the dignity of Grand Cross for signal services and unusual merit., which he shall specify. A unanimous vote of the Supreme Council is necessary for the approval of this singular honor.
