The Desecration of Our Temples

"A place for everything, and everything in its place."Recent events have again brought up the matter of

the use of our temples for other than Masonic purposes.

There can be no objection to the use of our halls forsocial gatherings, charitable functions and other non-Masonic events which in no way conflict with the ideals ofour Order. Nevertheless, there is a sharp line to be drawnbetween what is fitting in this respect, and what is not.Ordinarily, good taste and a modicum of common sense aresufficient for determining just what may be permitted andwhat may not. The question of revenue, perhaps of moreor less impertance to some of our Lodges, should have noweight in a discussion of this kind.

Any Mason or group of Masons, or any Lodge or com-bination o{ Lodges, that owns or controls a building usedas a meeting place of the Craft, and that permits its useby organizations not in sympathy with the Fraternity,spurious lodges, or organizations which through the use ofour emblems or otherwise pose as Masonic in character, isguiity of nothing less than sacrilege and is deserving of thecontempt o{ all True and Lawful Brethren.

Such procedure, so easily avoided by the use of a littlegood judgment and some slight understanding of thingsMasonic, can only result in those responsible falling intodisrepute as being ignorant or disloyal, and in drastic actionon the part of the suprerne authority which is vested in theGrand Lodge of the Philippine Islands.

Unpleasant results must foilow the desecration of ourtemples.

The Successful Master

In respect to his official and administrative duties,what constitutes an efficient and successful Master?

Too often a Master of a Lodge is spoken of as "suc-cessful" merely because he is letter perfect in the ritualisticwork, because he punctiliously attends eveSy lodge meetingduring his administration, or because of the large numberof degrees he has conferred.

These are admirabie and necessary qualifications forproperly filling the highest office in a Blue Lodge. Never-theless, there are other essentials that a Master shouldpossess if he is to leave behind hin-r a record of achievementworthy of the best. He should have dignity as well asgeniality in his dealings with the craft, and so conducthimself that he may inspire the respect due to his of6ceand to himself. The craft has a right to look to the Master

"s a teacher and a leader, and if he has Masonic knowledge

La Desecraci6n de Nuestros TemplosCiertos sllcesos recientes han hecho que surgiese de

nuevo la cuesti6n del uso de nuestros templos para finesque no sean mas6nicos.

No puede haber objeci6n al uso de nuestros localespara 'reuniones

sociales, funciones de beneficencia y otrosactos profanos que no est6n en conflicto con los ideales denuestra Orden. Sin embargo, cs preciso que se haga unadistinci6n exacta entre 1o que es conveniente en este respectoy 1o que no lo es. Ordinariamente basta un poco de dis-cernimiento y sentido comfn para determinar Io que es

permisible y lo que no 1o es. I.a cuesti6n de los ingresos,que quizis es de m5s o menos importancia para algunas denuestras Logias, no debe tener peso en una discusi6n deesta clase.

Cualquier Mas6n o grupo de Masones, o cualquieraLogia o agrupaci6n de Logias que posea o tenga el controldc un edificio que se utilice como lugar de reuni6n de laFraternidad, y que permita el uso del mismo por organismosque no est6n en simpatia con nuestra Fraternidad, o porI-ogias espurias u organismos que mediante el uso de nuestrosemblemas o de cualquier otro modo aparenten ser Masones,es cuipable de nada menos que sacriiegio y merece el des-precio de todos los hermanos leales v regulares.

Semejante proceder que tan f6cilmente se puede evitarmediante el uso de un poco de sentido comfn y algrin enten-dimiento de las cosas mas6nicas, por insignificante que sea,s61o puede resnltar en que los culpables se darSn de conocercomo ignorantes o desleales y que la Gran Logia de lasIslas Filipinas adopte las medidas dr6sticas que sean delcaso.

La desecraci6n de nuestros Ternplos no puede menosde tener consecuencias desagradables.

El Venerabl.e Maestro EfrcienteiQu6 es 1o que constituye al Venerable Maestro efi-

ciente en cuanto a sus deberes oficiales y administrativos?Con harta frecuencia se califica de eficiente al Venerable

d,e una Logia por el mero hecho de que conoce los trabajosritualisticos palabra por paiabra y asiste concienzudamentea todas las tenidas de su Taller, o por el gran nrimero degrados que ha conferido.

Todas estas son condiciones admirables v necesariaspara el desempeflo debido del cargo m5s elevado en unaLogia simb6lica. Sin ernbargo, hay otras condiciones esen-ciales que deben adornar al Venerable si ha de merecerque se le clasifique entre 1os mejores. Debe mostrar dig-nidad a ia par que afabilidad en su trato con los Hermanosy debe comportarse de modo que inspire el respeto que sele debe al cargo que desempefla y a 61 personalmente. LosHermanos tienen el derecho de mirar al Venerable comomaestro y caudillo, y si posee los conocimientos mas6nicos

he will be able to prepare the mind of the novitiate and thecraft for a better understanding of the real meaning of theideal brotherhood. He should have the ability to transmitto others the great ethical and fundamental truths of Ma-sonry which exemplify freedom of thought and humanita-rian ideals. He should be able to create a genuine fraternalspirit among the craft, through which Masonry will endure,and stimulate their desire for greater Masonic knowledge,thereby broadening their intellectual horizon.

The place which Freemasonry will achieve in theseIslands, reaching the cherished ambition of its devotedsupporters, by breaking down the barriers of ignorance andbigotry and becoming a force for the betterment of mankindand civilization, will depend in no small measure upon theintelligent, efficient, and successful Worshipful Master.

A Word for the Lodge SecretariesA11 Secretaries who have not already done so should

advise the Business Manager of the Caelnrow with regardto the present total membership of their respective Lodges.If this is not done, copies will be sent to each Lodge foronly those members shown in the Secretaries' reports ofNovember l, 1922, Thus members who have taken thedegrees since November 1 will not receive copies of theCasl-Bttow unless the Secretaries inform us as to their totalmembership to date.

At the end of each month the Secretaries should notifyus as to the number of new members during that month,so that we may send out copies of the following issue forthese new members also.

For ihe present we are unable to mail copies of theCeer,orow direct to the Brethren, and are sending to theSecretaiies for distribution or remailing. To insure promptdelivery of each monthly issue, each Secretary should pre-pare and address the necessary wrappers in advance. Thuson the arrival of the copies of the Caern'row from thisoffice they may be mailed to the Brethren without delay.

The July number of the CeelBrow will be mailed ordelivered to each Secretary before the end of June.

It would be greatly appreciated if the Lodge Secret-aries would place the CeelBrow on their mailing lists.

Comrnendable PromptnessIt has come to the attention of the Business Manager

of the Casr,prow that two of our Lodges at least deserverecognition for the promptness with which they mailed ordistributed copies of the first issue of the CaerBrow to theirmembers, immediately on receipt fronr. this ffice, In boththses the Worshipful Master gave his personal attentionto this matter, and those who were the first to receive theircopies may thank Wor. Bro. J. H. Schmidt of CosmosI-odge No. 8, and Wor. Bro. M. Goldenberg of MountLebanon Lodge No. 80, for their zealin this respect.

Every Brother should be privileged to receive his copyof the Casl-Brow as soon as published, which in the caseof the first issue was on May 29, all copies having beenmailed or delivered to the respective Secretaries of thevarious Lodges on that date.

The promptness shown by the Worshipful Masters andSecretaries of these two Lodges is worthy of ernulation bythe Worshipful Masters and Secretaries of all the Lodgesin this jurisdiction.

Men are not expected to take their business, politicsor religion into Freemasonry but they are expected to taketheir lVIasonry into business, poiitics and religion becauseMasonry is a set of constructive principles.

Since, as you say, this person is able to conform substantially towhat the several degrees respectively require of him, I see no objectionto his admission so far as physical qualifications are concerned, and ruleaccordingly. Neither do I see any objection to his rvearing a speciaishoe on his crippled foot.

As regards the case submitted by you, concerning acommunication received by your Lodge from the secretaryof a subordinate Lodge of the Grand Lodge "Valle deM6xico," proposing the exchange of representatives betweensaid Lodge and yours, I must inform you that, in the firstplace we cannot consider the Grand Lodge "Valle de M6-xico" and its subordinate Lodges as regular, for the reasonthat we granted fraternal recognition to the "Gran LogiaYork de M6xico" as sovereign Grand Lodge of the Republicof Mexico;and, in the second place, the exchange of repre-sentatives ("Garantes de Amistad") between our Lodgesand those of foreign Grand Jurisdictions is not authorized.

As to your request that you be furnished 'with a listof the regular Masonic Grand Bodies, I have to refer youto our Grand Lodge Proceedings, rvhich contain each yearlists of the Grand Lodges which have accorded fraternalrecognition to the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Isiands,and of the Grand Representatives exchanged.

The ancient cirarges, rvliile constituting in part tire

basis of Masonic l;rr'v, unlike the Aircient Landmarks are

subject to cirange. They do not in all particuiars embody

the law of this jurisdiction;for instance, we find in the old

charges that "no brother can be a Warden until he has

passed ttre part of a Fellorv Craft, nor Grand Master unless

he has been a Fe11ow Craft before his election," and that"the Grand Master has a power to choose his own DeputyGrand Master," whiie the N{asonic law' of the PhilippineIslands requires that a Brother must become a Master

Mason before he can be a Warden, and must have been

the Master of a Lodge before he can be Grand Master,

and the Deputy Grand Master is elected by ballot and notappointed by the Grand Master. As a matter of interest

to the Craft we give them as originally adopted and com-

mend them except so far as they are n conflict with the

written law of our Grand Lodge.

These charges, says Dr. Mackey, "$'ere presented tothe Grand l-odge of trngland by Doctors Anderson and

Desaguiiers in t721, and being approved by the GrandLodge on the 25th of lVlarch, 1722, were subsequentiypublished in the first edition of the Book of Constitution,with the following titie:

CONCERNING GOD AND RELIGION

A Mason is obliged, by his tenure, to obey the moral lav'; and ifhe rightly understarids the art, he u'il1 never be a stupid ATHEIST,nor an irreligious LIBERTINE. But though in ancient times L{asonswere charged in every country to be of the religion of that country ornation, whatever it was, 5,et 'tis now thought more expedient onlyto oblige them to that religion in lvhich all men agree, ieaving theirpartic!,lar opinions to themselves, that is, to be good men and true,or men of honor and honesty, by rvhatever denominations or persuasionsthey may be d.istinguished: whereby Masonry becomes the center ofunion, and the means of conciliating true friendship afiong personsthat must have remained at a perpetual distance.

IIOF TIIE CIVIL MAGISTRATE, SUPREME AND SUBORDINATE

A Mason is a peaceable subject to the civil powers, wherever heresides or works, and is never to be concerned in plots and conspiraciesagainst the peace and welfare of the nation, nor to behave himself un-dutifully to inferior magistrates; for as Masonry hath been alwaysinjured by war, bloodshed and confusion, so ancient kings and princeshave been much disposed to encourage the craftsrnen, because of theirpeaceabieness and loyalty, whereby they practicaily ans'n'ered the cavilsof their adversaries and promoted the honor of the Fraternity, who everflourished in times of peace. So that if a Brother should be a rebelagainst the state, he is not to be countenanced in his rebellion, howeverhe may be pitied as an unhappy man; and, if convicted of no othercrime, though the loyal brotherhood must and ought to disown hisrebellion, and give no umbrage or ground of political jealousy to thegovernment for the time being; they cannot expel him from the Lodge,and his relation to it remains indefeasible.

The Ancient Charges(I-os Anti$uos Cargos)

Los Antiguos Cargos constituyen en parte la base delDerecho N4as6nico, pero no son inmutables como los Anti-guos Linderos. No entraflan en todos respetos e1 derechovigente en esta Jurisdicci6n, Por ejernpio, vemos. en los

Antiguos Cargos que "Ningirn hermano puede ser Vigilanteantes de haber pasado la parte de un compaiiero, ni Maestrosin haber actuado corno Vigilante, ni Gran Vigiiante sinhaber sido Maestro de una Logia, ni Gran Maestre sinhaber sido compafrero antes de su e1ecci6n," y que "el GranMaestre tiene el poder de elegir su propio Diputado GranMaestre," mientras que la Constituci6n de la Gran Logiade las Islas Filipinas dispone que un hermano debe serMaestro Mas6n antes de poder ser vigilante y debe habersido Venerable Maestro de una Logia antes de'ser GranMaestre, y que el Gran Maestre delegado se elige mediantebalotaje y no es nombrado por el Gran Maestre. Porser de iumo inter6s parala Orden, los publicamos en la formaen que fueron adoptados primitivamente y encarecemos su

observancia excepto en cuanto a aquellas partes que estdn

en conflicto con las ieyes de nuestra Gran Logia.

Segfn nos informa el Dr. Mackey, estos Cargos "fueronpresent4dos ante la Gran Logia por los Doctores Andersony Desaguliers en l72l y apiobados por la Gran Logia el

25 de Nlarro de 1722 y posteriormente publicados en elLibro de Constituciones con el siguiente titulo:

- lt is either particular or general. and willbe best understood-by attending it, and by the regulations of the Gen-eral or Grand Lodge'hereunto annexed. In ancient times,,no Masteror Fellow could be absent from it, especially when warned to appearat it, without incurring a severe censure, until it appeared to the Masterand Wardens that puie necessity hindered him.

The persons admitted members of a Lodge must be good and truemen, free-born, and of mature and discreet age, no bondmen, no women,no immoral or scandalous men, but of good report.

All preferment among Masons is grounded upon real-worth.andpersonal merit only; that so the lords may be well served, the brethren'not put to shame,-nor the royal craft deipised; therefore no Master orWarden is chosen by senioriiy, but for hls merit. It is impossible.todescribe these thingi in writirig, and every Brother must attend in hisplace, and learn thEm in a waf

'peculiar to this Fraternity: only-candi-

iates'may know that no Masiei should take an Apprentice, unless !ehas sufficient employment for him, and unless he be a perfect youth,having no maim br defect in his body; that may render him uncapableof leaining the art, of serving his Master's lord, and of being made aBrother, at d then a Fellow Claft in due time, even after he has servedsuch a term of years as the custom of the country directs; and th-at h-e

shouid be descended of honest parents; that so,rvhen otherwise q,lalified,

. he may arrive to the honor of being the Warden, and then the Master'.of the'Lodge, the Grand Warden,-and at length Grand Master of all

the Lodges, according to his merit.No Brother can 6e a \\iarden until he has passed the part of a Fellow

Craft; nor a Master, until he has acted as a Warden, nor Grand Wardgn,until he has been Master of a Lodge; nor Grand Nlaster, unless he has

been a Fell,cw Craft before his ele-tion, rvho is also to be nobly born,or a gentlernan of the best fashion, or solne eminent scholar, or some

curioils architect or other artist, descended of honest parents, and whois of singular great merit in the opinion qf ths I, odges. And for thebetter arid easi-er, and more honoraLle discharge of hiJoffice, the GrandMaster has a power to choose his own Deputy Grand Master, who m,ust

be then, or must have been formerly, the Master of a particular Lodge,and has the privilege of acting whatever the Grand Master, his prin-cipal, should act, uiless the said principal be present, or interpose hisauthority by a letter.

Theie rulers and governors, supreme and subordinate, of theancient Lodge, are to be obeyed in their respective stations by all th-e

brethren, according to the'Old Charges and Regulations, with allhumility, reverence, love, and alacrity.

vOF THE MANAGEI{ENT OF THE CR.{FT IN WORKING

All Masons shall lvork honestly on working days, that they maylive creditably on holy days; and the time appointed by the law of theland, or confirmed by custom, shall be observed.

The most expert of the Fellow Craftsmen shall be chosen orappointed the Master or overseer of the Lord's 'ra.ork: w'ho is to be calledMaster by those that work under him. The craftsmen are to avoid ali illlanguage, and to call each other by no disobliging name, but Brother orFello'lv; and to behave themselves courteously rvithin and without theLodge.-The Master, knowing himself to be able of cunning, shall under-take the Lord's lvork as reasonabiy as possible, and truly dispend hisgoods as if they were his ot'n; nor to give more '$r'ages to any Brotheror Apprentice than he really rnay deserve,

DE LAS LOGIAS

Una Logia es el lugar donde se reunen los Francmasones paratrabajar, instluirse e iluslrarse en los Misterios de la Antig-ua Ciencia.En eite sentido lato se aplica tanto a las personas.como al lugar; pue-s,

toda asamblea regular o-reuni6n de Masones debidamente organizadase llama Logia. -Todo hermano debe pertenecera una- Lg8;ia, y.est6sujeto a su R"eglamento y a las Regulaciones Generales de la Fraternidad.Uia Logia es-general o-particulai, lo que se entender6 mejor asistiendoa ella, y-s6lo Jsi se puede tener conocimiento de los usosestablecidos yde lai-costumbres-de la.Fraternidad. Desde los antiguos tiemposningrin Maestro o compailero pod[a estar ausente de su Logia, especial-.mente si era llamado a comparecer en ella, sin incurrir en una censura

severa. a no ser que al Maestro y Vigilantes pareciere que s61o ia necesi-

*t f"l'3iilTXlon1l;.. Masones o admitidas cor,no miembros de

una Logii deben ser hombres, buenos y leales, libres de nacimiento,de edad-madura y discreta; y de sano juicio; ningfin esclavo, ningunamujer, ni hombre! inmoraleJo escandalosos, sino los de buena reputa-ci6n, pueden ser Masones.

DE LOS MAESTROS, VIGILANTES, COMPAfrEROS Y APRENDICES

Toda oromoci6n entre los Masones est6 basada solamente en elvalorreal y el m6riro personal; de modo quc los Jefes son bien atendidos,los hermanos no son avergonzados ni es desestimado e1 Real Arte;asi es que ningrin Maestro o Vigilante es elegido por su rango sino porsu m6rlto. Es imposible describir estas cosas por escrito, y pur esta

raz6n todo hermano debe estar en su puesto y aprenderlas por el mediopeculiar de esta Fraternidad. Los Candidatos deben sin embargoiaber que ningrin Maestro puede tomar un aprendiz sin clue tenga sufi-ciente bcupaci6n para 6l; y sin que sea un jovcn per[ecto; sin mutila-ci6n o deflcto en'su cuerfo, que le haga incapaz-de aprender el Artede servir al Dios de su Maestio, y de ser hecho hermano y en seguidacompafrero en el tiernpo debido, despu6s de haber servido e1 t6rminode ahos que la costunabre del pais reclana, y que descienda de,padreshonradosl de manera que, expresando esto de otro modo pueda alcanzarel honor de ser Vigilanle y despu6s Maestro de la Logia, Gran Vigilantey al fin Gran Maeitre de todas las Logias, conforme a su m6rito.

Ningfin hermano puede ser Vigilante antes de haber pasado laparte de un compaflero, ni Maestro sin haber actuado como Vigjlante,ni Gran Vigilante sin haber sido }llaestro de una Logia, ni Gran Maestresin haber sido compafrero antes de su e1ecci6n, quien tarnbi6n deberiser noble de nacimiento o un caballero de mejor rango, o un eminenteliterato, o un arquitecto distinguido u otro artista descendiente de padreshonrados y que sea de un gran m6rito singular en la opini6n de lasLogias. Y para el mejor, m6s ficil y mAs honorable desempeiio de sucargo, el Gran Maestre tiene e1 poder de elegir su propio Diputado GranMaestre, quien debe ser o haber sido antes Maestro de una Logia par-ticular, y el que tiene el privilegio de funcionar comc ei Grar, Maestre,su Jefe, funcicnaria, a no ser que este Jefe est6 presente o interpongasu autoridad por medio de una carta.

Estos directores o gobernantes, supremo y subordinados de laantigua Logia, deben ser obedecidos por todos los herrnanos, en sus res-pectivos puistos de conformidad con los antiguos cargos y regulaciones,con roda hurnildad, reverencia, amor y alegria.

acquired the habit of saying "Ah-men!" -at the close of ap.ayer. This is a barbarism and an abomination. The'lvord is "A-men," with the long sound given to the firstsvllable. exactlv like the "a" in the word "{ate." Thepronunciation '-'Ah-men" is permissible in singing, but underno oth.er circumstances.

A considerable number of otherwise well-informedpersons seem still to be unaware of the {act that the oldAnglo-Saxon rvord "hele," still in use in our language,

should not be pronounced "hail," but like the word "heel."It means "to-cover up, to hide," and rhymes with such

Masonic Law-Ley MasonicaReading for the Young Mason-Lecturas para un Joven Mas6n.

By Won. Bno. Tnooono M. Ker,ervNilad No. 12

The primary obligation of the young Mason is to get La primera obligaci6n de un j6ven mas6n es conoceracquainted with the Masonic Law in ail its aspects. Our la Ley Mas6nica en todos sus aspectos. Nuestra LeyMasonic Law is derived,from three principal sources: ,/sl- Mas6nicareconoce tresfuentesprinciplles:i.o-Los antiguoiThe Ancient Landmarks or unwritten iaw; ?nd-the linderos, o la ley no escrita; Z.a-Los reglamentos y leyesregulations and general laws compiled since antiquity for generales recopilados desde tiempos antiguos para uso de lathe use of the Fraternity; and 3rd-the local iaws and Fraternidad; y 3.a-Las leyes y reglarnentos locales.regulations.

I. LOS ANTIGUOS LINDEROSI. THE ANCIENT LANDMARKS

Masonry being an ancient institution the origin ofwhich is shrouded in mystery, its code of fundamentalprinciples exists in the form of unwritten law. ManyMasonic authorities have endeavored to reduce these tradi-tional principles to u,riting and their efforts have resultedin an interesting diversity of literary form, though allcoincide so far as the essentials are concerned. The EnglishMasons called this collection of principles "The AncientLandmarks of Freemasonry". Other Masonic GrandBodies, especially those of the Latin countries, such as theGrande Oriente Espaflol, generally adopt prior to theirconstitution, a "Declaration of Principles," which is like-wise a compendium of the ancient traditional principles.

Although not all agree in the enumeration of theseprinciples, we can say, nevertheless, that, as a rule, theMasonic authorities are not at variance on the following:

That Masonry has its peculiar modes of recognition;that its teachings are imparted in three degrees, those ofEntered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason;that the legend of the third degree must be preserved inall its purity and integrity; that the Grand Master is thesupreme chief of the Fraternity;that all Masonic teachingis based on the recognition of a Supreme Being, universalmorality, and the natural law; that Masons congregatefrom time to time in fraternal gatherings called Lodges;that the government of each Lodge is vested in a Worship-ful Master and two Wardens; that the Lodge so convenedmust be protected {rom the curiosity of the profane; thatevery unkno\yn person must be examined before he is per-mitted to enter the Lodge; that only free men, of goodhabits and mature age, can be made Masons; that e\reryMason must belong to a Lodge, attend its rvork, and sharein its common burdens; that every Mason is entitied torepresentation in the Grand Lodge; that every Mason hasthe right to appeal to the Grai'rd Lodge from the decisionsof his Lodge; that every Mason is entitled to visit otherLodges; that every Mason is subject to the lalvs of theMasonic Jurisdiction in which he resides; and that all Masonsare equal, as sons of the Great Father of Humanity.

II. THE ANCIENT REGULATIONS

Such is the unrn'ritten law of the Institution. Asregards the written1aw, its principal.sources are the compiia-tions made since times immemorial and handed down tous to serve as immediate foundation for the constitutionsof the Grand.Lodges. The most important among themare the foliowing:

First.:lhe Constitulions of York of the year 926, which aredeemed to be the oldest. Many of rhcir provisions are now comoletelvolsolete, as nearly all those contained in the so-called Fifteen irticlei.What can still be used to a certain extent are the F,iJteen Po.ints, a com-pendium of Masonic ethics as they rvere then understood. These rules,

Siendo la Masoneria una instituci6n antigua, cuyoorigen se pierde en la noche de los tiempos, su c6digo deprincipios fundamentales permanece en forma consuetu-dinaria. Muchas autoridades mas6nicas han tratado des-pu6s de expresar por escrito estos principios tradicionales,resultando de esto una amena diversidad de forma literariaaunque coincidiendo todos en 1o substancial. Los masonesingleses llamaron a tal conjunto de principios "The AncientLandmarks of Freemasonry," lo cual, traducido al caste*llano, podria decir: los arctiguos li.mites o l,ind,eros de la Maso-neri,a. Del mismo modo el Grande Oriente Espaflol y otrosgrandes cuerpos mas6nicos, sobre todo de la rama latina,suelen establecer una especie de Declaraci6n de Principios,previa a su Constituci6n, que constituyen igualmente uncompendio de los antiguos principios tradicior-rales.

Aunque no todos coinciden en la enumeraci6n de estosprincipios, podemos, sin embargo, decir que la generalidadde las autoridades mas6nicas est6n acordes en 1o siguiente:

Que la Masoneria tiene sus modos peculiares de reco-nocirniento; .que_sus enseflanzas se comunican en tres grados,el de aprendiz, el de compaflero y el de maestro; que iJle1,s11-da del tercer grado_debe conser\rarse en toda su purera eintegridad;.que el Gran Maestre es el jefe supremo de laFraternidad; que las ensefranzas mas6nicas esi6n basadasen el reconocimiento del Ser Supremo, en la moral universaly. en la ley natural; que los masones se reunen de tiempo entiempo en congregaciones fraternales llamadas Logias;que el gobierno de cada Logia reside en el Venerable Maeltroy en los dos Vigilantes; que ia Logia asi congregada debeestar a cubierto de la curiosidad de ios proTanos; quesedebe examinar a todo desconocido antes de permit?rselela entrada en la Lcgia; que solamente pueden recibirsemasones los hombres libres, de buenas costrimbres y de edadadulta; que.todo tras6n debe pertenecer a una Logia, asistira sus trabajos y compartir las cargas generales;-que todomas6n debe tener derecho de estar representado en IaGran Logia; que todo mas6n tiene derec[o de acelar antela Gran Logia de las decisiones de su Logia; que torlo mas6utiene derecho de visitar las otras Logias; que todo mas6nest6 sometido a las leyes de la jurisdicci6n mas6nica en quereside;.y _que_todos-los masones son iguales como hijos delGran Padre de la Humanidad.

II. LOS ANTIGUOS REGLAI{ENTOS

Tales son ias leyes no escritas de 1a instituci6n. R.es-pe"ct_o a las leyes escritas, hay que decir que ellas se hanoriginado principalmente de las compilaciones hechas desdetiempos re-motos que se han transmitido hasta nosotros paraservir de fuente inmediata a las Constituciones de las gran-des logias locales. Las m6s importantes de aquellas ro"r, la:siguientes:

Primera.-Las Constituciones de York del aflo 926, conside.adascomo las m6s antiguas. Muchas ile sus disposiciones esten hoy co-pte-tamente en desuso, como casi todas las que estin contenidas 6n losila-mados Qu,ince ArtTculos. Lo que puede usarse todavia hasta hoy e:r

more or less adapted to each locality, are still perrinent: everv Masonshall practice brotherly iove, love G6d and go to church; the cia{tsmanshall work diligently on working days in oider that he'mav eniov theholidays; the apprentice shall o6ey ihe counsel of his master and-shallnever rsveal to any one the secrets'of the Lodge; no Mason shall be falseto the Fraternity and harbor prejudice againsi his master or his fellows;every Mason shall be truthful to his mister and conduct himself as atrue mediator iri all disputes between men; if a Mason sees that hisbrother is not skilful in his work on the rough ashlar, he shall endeavorto teach him and correct him with gentle an-d kind words.

Second.--^the Constitutions of Edward III. so called becausethey were pr,o-mulg_a_ted during the reign of this king, between the years1327 and 1377. Many of the provisions of the6 Constitutions arealso obsolete. One of them rvas to the effect that apprentices mustwork honestly, love_their companions and be true to the King of Eng-1and, to royalty, and to the Lodge.

.Third"-The Regylations of 1663. Some of these are still veryuseful, as for instance the following: no person shall be accepted a Masonexcept it be in a regular Lodge, *ith the Worshipful Majter or one ofthe Wardens present; no person shall be accepted a Mason unless he beable-bodied, of honest family, of good reputel and obedient to the lawsof the nation.

Fourth.-Ihe Ancient Installation Charges. These precepts werefound.in a manuscript of the time of Jamel IL They arein theirmajority a repetition of the moral precepls already known to Masonry.

. Fi.Jth.-The Ancignt Charges at Makings. These are almostentirely obsolete.

- - Sixth.:lhe Regulation of 1703, which provides that the privilegesof Masonry must not be limited to operative-Masons, but must be mJdeextensive to men of various profeisions, provided these be properiyinitiated in the Order. This iegutation gave the Institution i pirrelyspeculative character, Masonry being bolh operative and speculativebefore that time.

_ Setenth'.-1he_Regulation of 1717, which was adopted when theGrand I odge of England was founded. By it, the organization ofLodgeg has been_governed -.ince that date, so that only thdse may v/orkas Lodges that have obtained a dispensation from the Grand l{asterduring the recess of the Grand Lodge.

Ei,ghlh.:fhe Regulation of 1720, approved on June 24, whichprovi-des that the Grand Masters rnay appoint DeputyGrand Mastersand Grand Wardens, which practice has also become obsolete.

N.inth..-The Charges approved in 1722. These are more im-portani and we sha11 speak of them in our next article.

Questions and Answers(Consultas)

Al.l, guestions relating to Masonic law, history, ethics and,

symbol,'ism will, be answered, in these colurnns.

1.-Some of the members of my Lodge do not approveof a certain resolution adopted by the Grand Lodge. Isthere no appeal? Unfortunately neither the Master northe Wardens of the Lodge attended the Annual Communi-cation of the Grand Lodge.

Answer.-It will be sufficient for me to copy the follow-ing text from a recognized Masonic authority: "It is theprerogative of the Master, with his'Wardens, to rePresenthis Lodge in the communications of the Grand Lodge.

As the Giand Lod.ge is the supreme tribunal of the juri.sdi,clion;

as all'its decisions on po'ints of Mason'ic law are fi,nal, and as

there can be no appeil, front its jud,gment, it is evident thatit is highly important that every Lodge should Ee, repre-sented

-in- its deliberations. The Master and Wardensbecome like the old Roman Consuls, invested with the care

of seeing that their constituents receive no detriment."

2.-As Secretary of my Lodge, I would like to askthe following question: Are members suspended for non-payment of dues entitled to receive copies of the CesrBrow?

Answer.-No. A member under suspension is entitledto no Masonic privileges whatever, and this of course in-cludes the CeBr-Etow, the official publication of the GrandI-odge.

3.-What is the meaning and use of the smal1 columnsat the stations of the Worshipful Master and Wardens?I have been unabie to find this information in any of ourrituais.

Answer.-{he column at the Worshipfui Master'sstation is the embiem of his office, and must always be kepterect in the Lodge, as the Brethren are at all times underhis governance and direction.

The column at the Senior Warden's station is aiso theemblem of his office and is a representation of the pillar atthe left of Solomon's porch-both signifying Strength.It should be kept in its erect position while the Brethren areat labor, as they are then under the Senior Warden's super-intendence, but placed in a horizontal position while atrefreshment.

The column at the station of the Junior Warden isalso the emblem of his office and is a representation of thepillar at the right of Solomon's porch, signifying Establish-ment. It should be kept in its erect position while theBrethren are at refreshment, as they are then under thesuperintendence of the Junior Warden, but placed in ahorizontal position while at labor.

4.-!Vho was the author of "Solemn Strikes theFuneral Chimes" ?

Answer.-Bro. David Vinton. This brother was de-nounced by the Grand Lodge of North Carolina about 1829for making manuscript notes of Masonry and died in pov-erty near Russellvilie, Ky., according to a footnote in theBook of Constitutions of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky.

A Famous Frenchnnan- and A Famous American Mason(Un C6lebre Franc6s y Mas6n Americano)

By Wonsirrrrul Bnornen Joseru H. ScnlrrorCosmos Lodge No. 8

The Great Frenchman: n[arqu'is de Lafayette.

Bro. de Lafayette, the great Frenchman of high lineageand princely fortune, r,vas foremost among those men offoreign birth 'ivho rendered invaluable services to the greatAmerican Republic during her War of Independence.

Bro. de Lafayette was born in Auvergne, France,on September 6, L757. When the Revolutionary Warbroke out, he stroirgly sympathized with the Thirteen Colo-nies rvho were striving for political freedom, and whoseaspirations for justice and right rn'ere being stamped outwith blood, by the mother country. Bro. de Lafayette,therefore, tried to induce the King of France to organizean expedition and send it to their support. Unable toinduce the king, he fitted a vessel at his own expense earlyin 177tr, and, on April 24th of said year, he reached SouthCarolina, with a small body of men who also offered theirservices to the Continental Army. Bro. de Lafayette'sservices and those of his men were gratefully accepted bythe Continental Congress, and he was given the rank ofmajor-general in the Army, under Bro. George Washington.

He served the nation for the next six years acceptingno cofirpensation for his services, and, further, contributedto the needs of hundreds of patriots, from his own means,with ciothing and other army equipment,

He returned to France in 7779 after being wounded inthe battle of Brandywine, and again tried to induce LouisXVI, the reigning monarch, to send help to the Colonists,and this time his petition was granted and France preparedto send help.

In 1780, he went back to America and remained thereuntil the close of the Revolution.

El Hmno. de Lafayette, un gran franc6s de noble alcur-nia y de fortuna regia, era el principal ehtre los hombres denacimiento extranjero que prestaron servicios valiosos a lagran Repfblica americana durante su Guerra de Indepen-dencia.

El Hmno. de Lafayette naci6 en Anvergne, en Francia,el 6 de Septiembre de 17 57 . Al estallar la Guerra de laRevoluci6n en Am6rica, era ardiente simpatizador de lasTrece Colonias que luchaban por su libertad poiitica ycuyas aspiraciones de derecho y justicia las anegaba ensangre la metr6poli. De consiguiente, el Hmno. de Lafa-yette trat6 de persuadir al Rey de Francia a que organizarauna expedici6n y la enviara en ayuda de los americanos"Fracas6 en sus gestiones, pero en los primeros meses de 1777arm6 un barco de su propio peculio y el dfa 24 de Abril detreferido afio arrib6 en Carolina Sur con un pequeio grup@

This iiiustrious Frenchman became the lifeiong anddevoted friend of America's greatest national hero (Bro.Washington), in whom he deposited his utmost con{rdence.He shorn'ed his devotion to the latter by naming his onlyson George Washington Lafayette. These two bosomfriends rn,ere eminent patrons of NIasonry. Before its altar,the great Frenchman and the famous American Generalknelt as brothers, and doubtless the fraternal relation whichthey thus bore to each other contributed largeiy to theintimacy and ideal friendship rvhich illumined their lives.

The private character of this nobie mar, and BrotherMason is an inspiration to all. He was fearless in theface of the worst perils and democratic ideals ever burnedin his heart, even during the terrible French Revolution,when he unjustly suffered imprisonment for five years.

When Bro. de Lafayette returned to France, Bro.Franklin, who was then in Paris, t'as instructed by Congressto present this young general'*,ith a s'word, as a gift from theUnited States Governr-nent, a tribute to himlvho had doneso much for the Americans.

In the years 1824 and 1825, he made an exteyrded visitto the United States for the iast time, and he was receivedwith open arms v'herever he went. He attended a greatnumber of Masonic meetings during his trip and was re-ceived with great lvarmth and acclamation in the differentlodges he visited.

Tn L821, he attended the iaying of the cornerstone of theBunker Hill Monument, and the famous American orator,Daniel Webster, addressed him thus: "Fortunate, fortunateman ! With what measure of devotion wili you not thankGod for the circumstance of your extraordinary iife! Youare connected with both hemispheres and with'two genera-tions. Fleaven saw fit to ordain that the electric sparkof liberty should be conducted through you from the New\,Vorld to the Old, and we who are now here to perform thisduty of patriotism have all of us, long ago, received it incharge from our fathers to cherish your name and yourvirtues".

This Illustrious Frenchman died on May 20, 1834.His tomb in the cemetery of Pipus Convent near Parisis the mecca -of Americans. A wreath is placed on thistomb everf Fourth of July by the American Government.This great Nlason was indeed one of the best friends Americaever had. He rendered invaluable services to her, buteven a greater one to his own country, by that very service.Did this nobleman ever dream what benefit his servicesto the American nation wouid bring to his own countryin the recent World War?

Second Convention of Elective Officers of the Lodges ofManila and Yicinity

(Segunda Asamblea Mensual de los Dignatarios de las Logias de Manila y Pueblos Cercanos)

The second monthly convention of elective officers ofthe Lodges of Manila and vicinity was held at the ScottishRite Hall of the Masonic Temple on the Escolta, Manila,in the evening of Thursday, May 31, 1923, with approxi-mately 50 Brethren in attendance.

After opening the meeting, M. W. Grand MasterFrederic H. Stevens introduced Wor. Bro. Teodoro M.Kalaw as principal speaker for the evening, saying that hehad been very fortunate in inducing such an authority onmasonic jurisprudence and eloquent orator as Wor. Bro.Kalaw.to address the convention on the important subjectof Masonic Law.

Wor. Bro. Kalaw began by referring to the amalgama-tion of the former Lodges of the Gran Oriente Espaflolwith the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands, whichbrought about masonic unity in this country and was, per-haps, one of the most important events in modern masonic .

history. The brethren who had seen the masonic lightunder the Spanish Grand Orient found themselves con-fronted by the necessity of changing from the Latin ideaof Masonic law to the law as practised by the Jurisdictionswho descend from the Grand Lodge of England.

The speaker then explained the nature of Masonic lawand the difference existing between the two systems referred.to. The Grand Orients of Latin descent, upon organizing,adopt a Declaration of Principles on which all their legisla-tion is based" The Grand Lodges erect the structure of theirmasonic legislation upon a constitution derived directlyor indirectly from the constitution of the Grand Lodge ofEngland. All these constitutions are based upon theAncient Landmarks, the immutable foundation of the entiremasonic structure, adherence to which is indispensable forevery regular Grand Lodge. These Landmarks everyMason and especially the Brethren chosen to direct andguide the Lodges should know.*

Our Constitution has come to us from England, throughthe United States, and our English-speaking brethren de-siring to familiarize themselves with its spirit and the juris-prudence on the subject have therefore a wealth of masonicliterature in English at their disposal. It is not so withour Brethrerfnot familiar with English, for the reason thatthe few N{asonic works in the Spanish l-anguage deal withthe Spanish system of Masonic law and jurisprurience.There is, however, Alrneida's work, published in Spanishin 1883, and which contains much valuable information;but, unfortunately, it is to a certain extent out of date and

La Segunda Asamblea Mensual de los Dignatarios delas Logias de Manila y pueblos cercanos se celebr6 en elSal6n del Rito Escoc6s del Templo Mas6nico, en la Escolta,Manila, en la noche del Jueves, 31 de Mayo de 1923, conuiros cincuenta Hermanos presentes.

Abierta la sesi6n, el Muy Ilustre Gran Maestre FredericH. Stevens present6 al Ven. Hermano Teodoro M. Kalawcomo orador principal de la noche. Dijo que habia sidomuy afortunado al conseguir que un hermano tan conocedorde la jurisprudencia mas6nic* y tan brillante orador comoel Ven. Hermano Kalaw dirigiese la palabra a la asambleasobre e! tema importante del derecho mas6nico.

El Ven. Hermano Kalaw empez6 por referirse a Ia fusi6nde las antiguas Logias del Grande Oriente Espaflol con iaGran Logia de las Islas Filipinas, fusi6n 6sta que cre6 launi6n mas6nica en este pais y se puede contar entre lossucesos m5s importantes de ia historia mas6nica moderna.Los Hermanos que habian visto la luz mas6nica bajo elGrande Oriente Espaflol se vieron entonces en la necesidadde substituir Ia concepci6n latina del derecho mas6nicopor el derecho mas6nico que se practica por las potenciasmas6nicas que provienen de la Gran Logia de Inglaterra.

El orador explic6 luego la naturaleza del derecho mas6-nico y las diferencias que existen entre los dos sistemasreferidos, Dijo que los Grandes Orientes, al formarse,adoptan una Declaraci6n de Principios como base para todalegislaci6n futura, mientras que las Grandes Logias levantanel edificio de su legislaci6n mas6nica sobre una constituci6ncalcada directa o indirectamente en la constituci6n de laGran Logia de Inglaterra. Todas estas constitucionestienen por base fundamental los Antiguos Linderos o AncientLand,marks, o sea, la ley inmutable cuya observaci6n esindispensable para toda Gran Logia regular. Estos Anti-guos Linderos los debe conocer todo Mas6n y m6s quenadie todo Hermano que haya sido elegido para guiar losdestinos de su Logia.*

La Constituci6n de la Gran Logia de las Islas Filipinasnos viene desde Inglaterra, por conducto de los EstadosUnidos, y nuestros Hermanos conocedores del ingl6s quedeseasen enterarse del espiritu y la jurisprudencia de dichaconstituci6n tienen por lo tanto abundante material a sudisposici6n. No sucede lo mismo con nuestros Hermanosque no poseen el ing16s, porque las pocas obras mas6nicasescritas en castellano tratan del derecho y jurisprudenciadel sistema espaflol o latino. Hay, sin embargo, la exce-lente obra de Almeida, que se public6 en castellano en 1883y contiene muchos informes valiosos; pero desgraciadamente

the edition is exhausted. In the English system, the axis

around which masonic government revolves is the GrandMaster and not the Master of the Lodge. Our Constitutionprovides that the legislative powers of the Grand Lodge

extend to every case of legislation not expressly delegated byitself to the Lodges. The loca1 legislation consists of thedecisions of the Grand Masters.

With all these laws, the officers of the Lodge mustmake themselves thoroughly familiar. Moreover, theymust know the parliamentary rules, of which unfortunatelymany Lodge officers and members are ignorant to such an

extent that in a number of Lodges the authority of the chairis insufficiently respected.

The speaker said that a book on masonic jurisprudence

would be of great help to all concerned.

Bro. Josb Guingona suggested that a committee be

appointed with instructions to compile all necessary masonicjurisprudence.

Wor. Bro. Leo Fischer suggested the publication of adigest of the decisions of the several Grand Masters inTHB Caer,rrow, as a preliminary measure.

The M. W. Grand, Master explained that the propo-

sition of publishing a book along the lines suggested, some-

thing like the "Blue Book" of the Grand Lodge of Cali-fornia, had been taken up on various occasions, but had had

to be dropped on account of the lack of funds. He stated

that he would take the matter under advisement.Bro. Antonio Gonzales suggested that a revision of the

Spanish translation of the three degrees be made and thata committee be appointed for this purpose. After some dis-

cussion of the merits of the present Spanish translation,the Grand Master said he would refer the matter to theCustodians of the Work, with instructions to report thereonat the next Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge.

Courtesy DegreesSt. John's Lodge No. 1, of New York, conferred the

second degree on September 22, and the third degree onApril 12, 1923, on Bro. Antonio Viterbo, as a courtesy toBagumbayan Lodge No. 4.

Birmala Lodge No. 836, of Birmingham, AIa., conferredthe degrees of Masonry upon Bro. James Henry Cody, as

a courtesy to Charleston Lodge No. 44, of Agafla, Guam,P. I.

Broken ColurnnsWor. Bro. Leandro G. Salvador, P.M. of Lincoln

Lodge No. 34, of Olongapo, has been called to the CelestialLodge above; he was buried at Castillejos, Zambales, onJune 17th. The Grand Master sent a personal messageof condolence to the Lodge and delegated Wor. Bro. AlbertoC. Donor to represent him at the obsequies.

Bro. Benigno Zihlcita Y Bravo, Pintong-Bat6 LodgeNo. 51, Bacoor, Cavite, responded to the call of the SupremeGrand Master of the Universe May 26, t923. The lastrites were held at Solomon's Temple, Bilbao, Tondo, Manila,May 30, the burial being in the Cementerio del Norte.

Brother Henry W. Elser, Far East Lodge No. 10,departed this life June 18 at San Francisco. Bro. Elserhad been in failing health for some time previous to hisdeparture from Manila and went to the homeland in verypobr condition physically, though until recently hopes haibeen entertained for his recovery.

A Pil$rima$e to CebuWhen, on June 20th, the S. S. Cebu sailed for the port

after which she is named, she had on board a regular masonicexpeditionary force bound for the southern cit1r. Tl-rere

Another party on board the S. S. Cebu rlas headed byWor. Bro. Michael Goldenberg, as chairman of the com-mission sent to Cebu for the purpose of conferring the

' Scottish Rite degrees from the 4th to the 32nd upon candi-dates in u'aiting. Other members of his party are Bros.

Jos6 Arpal, Salim Akad, Joaquin Pardo de Tavera, AntonioGonzales, and Luis R. Yangco. The wives of Bros. Gold-enberg, Pardo de Tavera, and Yangco accompany theirhusbands.

Wor. Bro. Goldenberg has given much time and hardwork to the preparations for the voyage and the arduous

.' work that awaits him in Cebu, and, judging by past per-'' formances, we are sure that the commission headed by him

will perform its work in a highly satisfactory and efficient' manner.

The "Plailippine Trowel"Several Filipino Brethren in the United States have

organized a societl, knou'n as the "Phiiippine Trowel,"which meets at the West Side Masonic Temple, 12 SouthOakley Boulevard, Chicago, I11., every f,rst and thirdWednesday evenings of the month, and the purpose of whichis to tighten the bonds between American and FilipinoMasons.

The president of this organization is Bro. GabinoA. Hicaro, a member ol Zapote Lodge No. 29, Rosario,Cavite, P. L, the secretary being Bro. P. Catuncan, and thetreasurer Bro. A. A. Belen.

Bro. Hicaro having requested data on PhilippineMasonry for iecture purposes, the Grand Secretary's ofificehas placed the "Philippine Trowel" on the mailing list of theCaerBrow and furnished other literature to this buddingmasonic organization, which has our best wishes.

Degree Work by Tearn of Civil EngineersAt Baguio, Benguet, P. I., on May 9, at a me6ting of

Baguio Lodge No. 67, the first degree of Masonry was con-ferred by a team composed exclusively of civil engineersof the Bureau of Public Works rvho were attending the Dis-trict Engineers' Convention then being held at the moun-tain capitai. The members of this team came from differ-ent Lodges scattered throughout our .wide-flung Archi-pelago, and the fact that only two practice meetings wereheld and yet the work was put on in remarkably excellentshape, shows not only proficiency and interest in Masonryon the part of our builders of roads and bridges, but uniform-ity in the ritualistic work throughout the Islands.

THE CABLETOW

A Copy of the "Cabtretow" for Every BrotherIn connection with subscriptions to Tne Carr-erow,

the following should be noted by the Brethren:At the last Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge

a resolution was-passed providing for an annual contri-bution from each subordinate Lodge toward the supportof the official publication of the Grand Lodge. This annualcontribution from each Lodge is in payment of a subscrip-tion to the Caslnrow for each and every member of thatLodge, copies of each monthly issue to be forwarded tothe Secretary of each Lodge, and then forwarded or deliver-ed by him to the members of that Lodge.

If a member fails to receive his copy within a reason-able time, he should take this matter up with the Secre-tary of his own Lodge. Copies for the members are mailedor delivered to each Secretary a few days before the begin-ning of the month to which they correspond, and, if theSecrqtaries are prompt, each member should receive hiscopy on the first of the month, or soon thereafter.

We are already in receipt of payments for a numberof subscriptions sent us direct by various Brethren. Ineach case the money will be returned to the subscriber,unless he happens to belong to a Lodge not in this juris-diction, in which case he will be allowed to pay for hissubscription, as of course he will not receive copies throughhis own Lodge.

Masonic CourtesiesFrom time to time the Grand Lodge has received

requests from Brethren in the United States that Masoniccourtesies be extended to friends or relatives who are tem-porarily in the Philippine Islands. As an example of theappreciation in which these courtesies are held, the follow-ing letter is given:

The astonishing testimonial to Firestone quality the record of the race at Indianapolis gives is only one outof several hundred similar, though flot so stupendous, testimonials.

Considering the strain to whichtaxicab tires are constantly subject-ed, this is a testimonial of qualityof FIRESTONE tires in actualservice that proves more explicitlyto the average tire buyer the tre-mendous value he is getting whenhe buys the tire that gives mostmiles per peso-FIRESTONE.
