URROUNDED by friends, and with a large number of its
own family circle in evidence, Hawaiian Lodge on the
evening of Monday, May 5th, 1902, celebrated its fiftieth
anniversary. It was an occasion full of meaning for the
members of the oldest lodge in point of continuous life in
the Islands, a lodge which has numbered among its members,
Kings and ministers, professional men, and toilers in the humbler
fields, magnates and clerks, and the filled room and the close attention
to the historical features of the evening showed the significance attached
to the anniversary by Masons.
It was a celebration full of oratory and reminiscence, of music and
good fellowship. Hawaiian Lodge is known as a host and the Temple
was filled to the doors, and out into the ante-rooms even, by the many
who came to join in the congratulatory messages from sister organiza-
7
tions, and to enjoy the flow of reason and soul which was the marking
distinction of the evening. There was not a vacant seat long before
the procession of Masters and Past Masters passed into the lodge, and
the session was declared open, and the applause which punctuated the
historical address of Past Master Hassinger, and the laudatory one of
Past Grand Master Estee showed the strength of the Masonic feeling
among its people.
The Temple, with its delicate frescos and jeweled imagery, was
transformed into a tropical auditorium by the introduction of palms
and maile. Fronds of date palms arched above the jeweled emblem
of the order over the chair of the worshipful master of the lodge and
were met by potted plants which surrounded the rostrum on which
were placed the past masters of the craft and the presiding officer.
From the electroliers above depended loops of tri-color, interwoven
shades of the banners of the present and the past. From the center,
beneath the "Eye," was suspended a banner inscribed "1852-1902,”
with the square and compass. The colors were in evidence again in
the two flags of Hawaii and the Union, which draped the stand from
which the speakers read. All about the room palm fronds arched
against the sky-tinted walls, and about the standards supporting globes
were wound maile, which stood out against the dark woods. The
decorative scheme was entirely that of Brother Joshua D. Tucker.
The entire auditorium was filled with chairs, but the 275 seats
thus provided were all too few for the craftsmen who gathered to aid
in the celebration of the golden jubilee, the first of such gatherings
that will mark the early years of the century. The audience was an
impressive one, numbering as it did the most representative men in
the business and professional world of the city. In the company were
kamaainas and malihinis, men whose Masonic life began in America
and Europe, as well as those whose experiences are confined to this
city. Nearly one-half the audience was made up of ladies, whose bright
gowns relieved the masses of black which represented the men gathered
to participate in the ceremony.

܂
There was no hurry about the gathering, for it was in more than
one sense a reception, and for nearly an hour before the session of the
lodge was called to order by Worshipful Master Frederick Whitney,
who was visibly affected by the occasion, and the honor which fell to
him as the presiding officer of Hawaiian Lodge, the members received
their friends in the outer rooms. In calling the meeting together Mr.
Whitney said:
"It is a source of great pride that I have the pleasure, on behalf
of Hawaiian Lodge, of welcoming so many to participate in the cele-
bration of our golden jubilee. Masonry is of great antiquity, and its
beautiful tenets have passed down to us through the corridors of time.
Its principles have enriched and beautified the nobler fraternal feelings
of our nature, and now in this, the twentieth century, all nations, from
the crowned heads to the tiller of the soil, recognize the influence
Freemasonry exercises for good and the benefit of mankind.
"In tracing back through the mists of time we find that it has
always been a custom, on important occasions, to select from among
the brethren those well versed in our mysteries, to interpret intelligently
and wisely the various subjects selected. I am singularly fortunate as
the presiding officer of this lodge in having associated with me brethren
of mature intellect and wide attainments, and those selected to speak
this evening I am sure you will listen to with a great deal of pleasure,
in their treatment of the subjects on our program selected for this even-
ing's exercises. As the program is somewhat lengthy, I will not occupy
further time but will call upon P.. M.. Brother Alexander Mackintosh
to offer up prayer.”
At the conclusion of the prayer, the Dillingham Quartet, Messrs.
W. F. and Isaac Dillingham, C. E. Elston and Clifford Kimball, sang
with such effect that they were recalled and compelled to give an en-
core.
In introducing the first speaker of the evening, Worshipful Master
Whitney said that Past Master William Fessenden Allen was the oldest
II
member of the lodge, one who had twice served as its master and whose
memories of the past were full of interest.
P.. M.. W. F. ALLEN'S ADDRESS.
WORSHIPFUL MASTER, BROTHER MASONS AND LADIES:-Hawaiian
Lodge No. 21, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of California,
Free and Accepted Masons, have invited you to join them this evening
in the celebration of the semi-centennial anniversary of the founding of
their lodge, which occurs this fifth day of May, A. D., 1902.
It is one of the strongest characteristics of Masons that wherever
a few Masons are, they at once long for a lodge, and the close fellow-
ship of the lodge meetings. This longing was particularly strong fifty
years ago. Here, in a foreign land, with a small foreign population ;
influenced by this feeling, some of the Masons who were in Honolulu
in the year 1851, desirous of having a lodge under American jurisdic-
tion, joined in a petition to the Grand Lodge of California for a charter
to organize a lodge of Master Masons in Honolulu, Island of Oahu,
Hawaiian Islands.
This petition placed the Grand Lodge in a very unique position,
as there was no precedent in all Masonic law allowing a Grand Lodge
in America to grant a charter to a lodge in a foreign country off the
continent. After due consideration by the best and most talented mem-
hers of the Grand Lodge, a dispensation was granted to open and or-
ganize a lodge in Honolulu, and four months later, on May 5th, 1852,
a charter was granted to Hawaiian Lodge No. 21, Free and Accepted
Masons, and this is the charter we now work under.
Our number, twenty-one, shows that we are one of our parent
body's oldest daughters, who now number over three hundred.
At the third annual communication of the Most Worshipful Grand
Lodge of California, held in the Masonic hall in the city of San Fran-
cisco, commencing May 4th, 1852, and terminating May 8th, 1852, the
Deputy Grand Master in his report said: "On the twelfth of January,
12

FREDERICK WHITNEY,
Master.
1852, I received an application from thirteen brethren located at Hono-
lulu, Sandwich Islands, soliciting a dispensation to open a lodge at that.
place, accompanying which was a letter from the honorable Secretary
of State of that government, a well known brother, and highly recom-
mendatory of the petitioners. The proper recommendation accompany-
ing the petition being regular, I granted a dispensation to enable the
aforesaid brethren to open a lodge at Honolulu under the title of
Hawaiian Lodge. I cheerfully recommend that a charter be granted
them at this session, as evidence is given that they are 'bright lights'
in the midst of darkness."
At the meeting held May 8th, 1852, the Grand Master announced
"that charters had been ordered at this communication for six lodges,
among them one for Hawaiian Lodge No. 21;" and at the fourth an-
nual communication, in May, 1853, the Grand Master reported that he
had issued a dispensation to R. C. Wyllie, Past Master, to install
Hawaiian Lodge November 21st, 1852," and in the reports of this com-
munication of our Grand Lodge, Hawaiian No. 21 appears for the first
time with list of officers and members, numbering twenty-eight, none
of whom are now living.
Our lodge was for the first time represented at the fifth annual
communication May, 1854, by the Grand Secretary, Levi Stowell, since
which time we have had a representative at all annual meetings of the
Grand Lodge.
In consideration of our being so far from home, our parent Grand
Lodge has shown us great consideration, for several years remitting
our Grand Lodge dues, and freely giving us advice in our work.
Since the date of its charter, Hawaiian Lodge has been an active
working lodge, has always stood for good citizenship, and has always
joined in all progress that would advance the best interests of the com-
munity.
We have numbered among our members government officers from
the sovereign down, men prominent in all the professions, including the
15
clergy, and our roster has always borne the names of the most promi-
nent merchants and mechanics in the Islands.
Situated as we are, in the midst of the Pacific ocean, we have had
many calls on our charity, in assisting unfortunate brothers, that lodges
on the mainland do not have, and I can say without boasting, that we
have always responded to those calls by helping the unfortunate and in
cases of death, burying the brother, and writing the absent relatives,
giving what consolation we could.
That our material prosperity has increased with our age and num-
bers, this temple that we have built amply proves.
Fearful of trenching on our historian, who follows me, I shall
close by referring all brother Masons to the age of our Order, and
emphasizing the fact that an order which has existed so many years
in all countries, and under all governments, whether emperors, kings
or presidents, without getting the ill-will of any, must be well founded
on good Christian principles, or it would not have withstood the opposi-
tion and enmity which the Order has had to contend with in former
times, so I charge you, brother Masons, never to forget that each one
of us has the individual duty of keeping the reputation of our Order
up to its present high standard.
At the close of Past Master Allen's address "Spring Time" was
sung impressively and beautifully by Mrs. J. T. McDonald, the violin
accompaniments by Prof. J. H. Amme and piano by Miss Annie May
Whitney.
In presenting P.. M.. John Adair Hassinger, who made the his-
torical address of the evening, Worshipful Master Whitney said it gave
him great pleasure to introduce one who had been a prominent Mason
for many years and who, next to P.. M.. Allen, was the oldest member
of the lodge. Twice, he said, Mr. Hassinger had been called upon to
fill the chair as master.

•
P.. M.. HASSINGER'S ADDRESS.
WORSHIPFUL MASTER, LADIES AND BRETHREN: Historical remin-
iscences, save to those who may have special interest in the line of his-
tory under review, are generally devoid of interest, and my only en-
couragement on this occasion, lies in the fact that Freemasons are in-
clined to a fondness for "any ancient history" so long as it may include
some legend of the order, and they are diligent students when oppor-
tunity permits them to trace Masonic history to days long gone by,
provided the dates and occurrences may seem to be authentic.
If you will bear with me, I will endeavor to lighten the burden
upon your patience, by avoiding as much as possible of "dry detail" in
my attempt to make this outline of Masonic history in Hawaii a con-
nected recital. It will be necessary to weave in some threads of local
surroundings, in those days when the banner of the "Compass and
Square," closely following the standard of Christianity, was planted
in these Mid-Pacific Islands.
Permit me to draw aside the misty curtain covering some sixty
years of the shadowy past and give you a glimpse of Honolulu as it
appeared about the year 1843.
The village or town consisted of scattered groups of habitations,
chiefly the native grass house, mingled here and there with adobe
buildings after the Spanish style, a few buildings of hewn coral stone
and a gradually increasing number of wooden residences, built mostly
of lumber brought around Cape Horn, some of the buildings having
been already framed before shipment. Porches, verandas and the cool
lanai adjunct were much in evidence as a protection from the scorching
rays of the sun at high meridian. Except during the rainy season the
soil was parched and dry. The plain upon which the town stood was
bare of either trees or shrubbery to relieve the eye or cool the air. In
the distant background stood enormous walls of mountain closing in
the plateau of the upper Nuuanu valley. Across their summits, swept
masses of cloud which broke and fell in mist-like showers, feeding the
upland streams and nourishing terrace upon terrace of kalo plantations.
19
But the rain was mostly dissipated by the hot air of the lower
levels long before it reached the precincts of the town itself. Old
Punchbowl crater, parched, grim and forbidding, loomed a silent land-
mark above the scattered village. A few auwais or irrigating ditches
enticed wavering rivulets as far down in places as the present line of
School street, forming the only green spots that, oasis like, bordered
the inland boundary of the town.
And even then it was considered that rapid strides had been and
were being made in the matter of public improvement. To quote the
words of a local writer at the time: "Every year's developments afford
additional evidence that the Sandwich Islands are acquiring a growing
importance among the nations of the earth, while the influence of trade
decidedly tends to make this town the center of commercial interest.
To those who have visited Honolulu five or ten years ago, the rapid
changes which have taken place are the most common topic of remark.
May those who shall sketch the progress of advancement and describe.
the future of this rising town, be enabled to speak of it as still ad-
vancing in everything which is honorable, praiseworthy and becoming
a civilized and Christian community."
The harbor front of the town had then two jetties or boat landings,
known as Charlton's and Ladd & Company's. The ownership of the
former of which, with its surroundings, was about to be, or in fact had
already become a source of anxiety and trouble to the government of
that day, ending in the seizure, for a brief period, of the Islands and the
hoisting of the British flag, which event occurred on the 25th day of
February, 1843.
B
Between the jetties and beyond them to the northward, the waters.
of the harbor washed the inner beach, until it connected with the Nuu-
anu stream, where now spanned by the King street bridge, and vessels
in the harbor, which were always loaded and discharged at their moor-
ings, rafted or towed their water casks up this stream to obtain their
supplies of fresh water; the inhabitants of the town being principally
supplied by wells sunk upon their premises.

On the other hand, to the southward a fort, built with coral blocks,
backed with earth, fronted the narrow entrance to the harbor and ex-
tended along the front of the present line of Queen street, crossing
Fort street, where the Main entrance was located, giving that street
the name still retained, thence down the boundary of the present Allen
& Robinson lot, from thence across the shallow line of reef to a little
beyond the present line of Fort street, thence back to the upper line.
The Esplanade of today did not then exist.
How different the picture from that of Honolulu and its sur-
roundings at the present day.
Only twenty-four years previous to that time, the Hawaiians had
destroyed their idols and stood revealed as a "country witl out a God."
Closely following this event was the opportune advent of the
pioneer missionaries from New England, who arrived at Kailua, Ha-
waii, April 4, 1820, and these Islands speedily became an outpost of
civilization and Christianity, cut off from the outer world by thousands
of miles of ocean and months of weary voyaging. The coast of Cali-
fornia, some 2100 miles distant, was then but little known and important.
chiefly for its products of hides and tallow, and if one should propose
to return to the civilized portions of the United States, it would be
about the last place to be considered as a landing for that purpose.
The few vessels trading beween these Islands and the Coast, gen-
erally made the bay of Monterey their object point, with occasional
changes to Yerba Buena in the bay of San Francisco.
When in 1842, the Government of these Islands deemed it urgently
necessary to send commissioners to the United States and Europe, to
plead for recognition of their independence and protection from foreign
agents and war vessels that were scheming to seize the group, they took
what was considered the shortest practicable but somewhat hazardous
route, going by schooner to San Blas and across Mexico to Vera Cruz
on horse or mule back.
It was about that time and under those conditions that there came
into this harbor of Honolulu on March 30th, 1843, a French whaling
K
23
vessel, the ship Ajax, Le Tellier commander, of Havre, France, some
ten months out from home.
Captain Le Tellier, an enthusiastic Freemason, was held in such
high estimation by the highest of French authority in Freemasonry in
those days, as to be empowered by the Supreme Council 33 degree of
the Scottish Rite in France, to institute Masonic lodges in ports of the
Pacific and South Seas, in places over which no other Masonic jurisdic-
tion had been established.
Captain Le Tellier remained in port until May 3rd, of that year,
when he sailed on a whaling cruise to the northwest. During the inter-
val he met several brother Masons, both among the residents and the
officers of whaling vessels frequenting this port and it was mutually
agreed that now was the time and the opportunity to establish a lodge of
Freemasons, and he granted authority to these brethren to organize a
lodge under the name of "Le Progres de l'Oceanie."
The first meetings of this lodge were held on board the Ajax, and
when the time came for her departure, the meetings were held at the
residence of Bro. John Meek on the upper side of King stret, where
Smith or Konia street, was cut through about twelve years ago.
From Captain Meek's residence the lodge moved and became reg-
ularly established in a two-storied frame building on the lower side of
King street and opposite to Captain Meek's, he, as owner, having
donated the use of this building for lodge purposes. The upper floor
was fitted up for lodge and ante-rooms and the lower floor made a
spacious and convenient banquet hall.
As this building stood back from the street and was surrounded by
a high board fence, it was in every way well fitted for lodge purposes
in those days.
A diligent search has been made for the document containing the
names of the original members of this first lodge, but without success.
As the earliest record book with other papers was burned when the res-
idence of Henry Sea was destroyed by fire a few years later, it is to be
feared that the identity of all but three of the founders of Freemasonry
24

P.. M.. JOHN ADAIR HASSINGER.
in Hawaii, as an evidence, is forever lost. These three were Captain
Le Tellier, John Meek and Henry Sea. It is barely possible that in the
archives of the Order in France, there may still be preserved the orig-
inal list of names of those who were instrumental in the organization
of Freemasonry in our little Island world. If so, some of our enthus-
iastic brethren of Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie may again "bring to
light" for record here, the broken link in our chain of Patriarchs.
When in 1849 the tide of humanity from all parts of the world,
both civilized and uncivilized, swept in resistless current towards the
golden shores of California, these Islands furnished their full quota in
the mad, wild rush for fortune's favor. Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie
and its membership seemed to have been scattered to the "four winds"
and after a vain effort by the remnant still remaining to keep the lodge
together in working numbers, it ceased to labor and was considered
extinct.
But the spirit of Masonry still existed, although circumstances be-
yond control forced it to lie dormant for a time. Brethren, whose lives
were spent mostly upon the sea, missed the lodge and its influences,
when they touched at this port. Brethren who had not been drawn into
the vortex that was stirring our nearest neighbors on the Coast,
lamented the loss of the opportunity to gather in the temple, where the
lessons of mutual esteem, unfeigned friendships and benevolence were
duly impressed and exemplified, and it was not long before they realized
the necessity of repairing the foundation and building anew the struc-
ture of the lodge, seeking the jurisdiction of some grand body of the
order nearer home, and with whom they could have the benefit of more
frequent communication.
Meanwhile, California had become some place. Under the touch
of the golden wand, it had suddenly sprung into existence as a country.
whose name was a household word in every portion of the habitable
globe; whose wealth was beyond computation and whose population
was already counted by its tens of thousands and daily increasing.
Even in those early days Freemasonry came to the front in that
27
wonderful "Golden Land," and the Grand Lodge of California was
organized April 19, 1850.
Of the earlier lodges scattered over the western portion of the
United States and the Pacific Coast, under the jurisdiction of the Grand
Lodge of the District of Columbia, California Lodge of San Francisco.
had ranked as number 13. Upon the organization of the local Grand
Lodge, California immediately transferred its allegiance and as Califor-
nia Lodge Number 1, held its first meeting under its present jurisdic-
tion, May 23, 1850. Thus began the numerical system of lodges under
our Grand Lodge, which at the date of its fifty-second annual commun-
ication, October 8, 1891, numbered in existence 273 lodges.
On the evening of December 8, 1851, a meeting of Master Masons
was held at the residence of Captain John Meek in this city, to take into
consideration the practicability of forming a regularly constituted lodge
of Free and Accepted Masons in the city of Honolulu. Those present
were Lemuel Lyon, Chas. W. Vincent, Alex. J. Cartwright, Andrew C.
Mott, Thos. W. Russom, Jacob Brown, John Meek, F. W. Thompson,
D. P. Penhallow, Wm. Wond, C. B. Chappel, E. Low and Calvin
Bradley.
Brother Lemuel Lyon presided and after a full discussion, it was
resolved that a petition be addressed to the M. W. Grand Lodge of Cal-
ifornia, praying that a charter be granted to the petitioners for a Master
Masons Lodge in this city.
At a meeting held on the succeeding evening, Bro. Lyon was
recommended to the Grand Lodge as Master of the proposed Lodge,
with Bro. John Meek as senior warden and Bro. Charles W. Vincent as
junior warden. The form of petition was read and approved and it was
resolved that the word "Hawaiian" should be inserted as the name of
the lodge. As Bros. Lyon and Penhallow were about to visit California,
they were appointed a committee to wait upon the Grand Master with
the petition and they were given full power to exercise their own judg-
ment in the furtherance of the wishes of the brethren here.
The next meeting was held February 11, 1852, at the residence of
28

P.. M.. JOHN NEILL.
Bro. Meek, when the names of Bros. Joseph Irwin and J. G. Sawkins
were added to the original roll. At this meeting, Bro. Lyon having just
returned from the Coast, presented the dispensation granted by R. W.
Benjamin D. Hyam, deputy grand master of the Grand Lodge of Cali-
fornia to Hawaiian Lodge, to work on probation as a lodge of Master
Masons.
This dispensation was dated January 12, 1852.
It was voted to accept thankfully Bro. John Meek's kind offer of
the room previously occupied by the brethren of Lodge Le Progres de
l'Oceanie as a lodge room, and which I have already described. Thus
was Hawaiian Lodge provided with a cradle.
The first regular meeting of Hawaiian Lodge under dispensation
was held in that lodge room on the evening of February 10, 1852, at 7
o'clock.
Here an election for membership was held and the following
brethren were declared as forming Hawaiian Lodge U. D.: Lemuel
Lyon, D. P. Penhallow, F. W. Thompson, John Meek, Wm. Wond, A.
J. Cartwright, Charles W. Vincent, J. G. Sawkins, Jos. Irwin, F. M.
Stokes. And the list of officers was made complete as follows: Lemuel
Lyon, W. M.; Jno. Meek, S. W.; Chas. W. Vincent, J. W.; Jos. Irwin,
Treas.; A. J. Cartwright, Secy.; Wm. Wond, S. Deacon; F. W. Thomp-
son, J. Deacon.
Petitions for degrees were received at this first meeting from men
who became well known in the business as well as Masonic circles of
our community. They were Michael Harvey, Henry Macfarlane, Rich-
ard Coady, James Dean and John Montgomery; and at the second reg-
ular meeting held March 18, 1852, two of these applicants, Michael R.
Harvey and Richard Coady, had the distinction of being the first to be
initiated in Hawaiian Lodge.
On the 5th day of May, 1852, the Grand Lodge of California
granted the charter which authorized Hawaiian Lodge to work as a reg-
ularly constituted lodge under its jurisdiction. And thus was born into
full fellowship Hawaiian Lodge No. 21 of Free and Accepted Masons.
31
and the first lodge created beyond the territorial limits of the United
States by the Grand Lodge of California.
The first local celebration of a Masonic occasion of note was on
Thursday, September 4, 1852, the centennial anniversary of the initia-
iton of George Washington into the mysteries of Freemasonry, which
occasion was generally observed by the Masonic order throughout the
United States.
On that day Hawaiian Lodge was convened at 3 o'clock p. m., and
accompanied by a large number of visiting brethren, and preceded by a
band of music, marched in procession to the Seaman's Bethel, at the cor-
ner of King and Bethel streets, where an oration suitable to the occasion
was delivered by Brother the Rev. Lorrin Andrews.
After the services, the brethren again formed in procession and
marched through the several streets of the city, returning to the lodge
for its formal closing.
The first annual election of officers under charter was held at a
special meeting, on Friday evening, December 31st, 1852. Those elected
were Charles W. Vincent, W. M.; William Wond, S. W.; F. W.
Thompson, J. W.; A. J. Cartwright, S. D.; M. R. Harvey, J. D.; R.
Coady, Treasurer; Jos. Irwin, Secretary. It will be noticed that some of
the present appointive officers were then elective.
The appointment at that time of a standing committee to care for
the sick and the destitute, with discretionary powers as to expenditure;
the purchase of a burial lot in Nuuanu cemetery, and an order given
for a substantial iron fence to enclose the same, are ample evidence that
the lodge was fully alive to the duties imposed by its Masonic obliga-
tions and the brethren were quietly but diligently endeavoring to soothe
calamity, alleviate misfortune, compassionate sorrow and in other ways
exemplify those tenets of their profession: Brotherly love and relief.
In that "City of the Dead," in our beautiful valley of Nuuanu,

are inseparable from its early history and where also lie the remains of
many strangers whose life journey ended here, is located this our burial

plot, secured as one of the first thoughtful, fraternal acts of our lodge,
for the interment of such brethren as might have no burial place of their
own. This plot has been added to from time to time as the space was
required. And there, at the close of the fiftieth year of our lodge life,
is gathered at rest from all earthly labor our "Silent Lodge," whose
membership increasing one by one, as they "fell by the wayside,” a
majority of whom were strangers in all but the fact that they were
brother Masons, now numbers 34.
In the center line of this plot, placed equi-distant, are the monu-
ments of our sixth and seventh masters, Henry F. Poor and Benjamin
F. Durham, whom we were permitted thus to place and mark.
They there sleep, surrounded by those to whom in life they were
endeared by all the ties of friendship and brotherhood, and also by those
to whom, as strangers in a strange land, they had ministered in the last
hours of earthly existence.
Requiescat in Pace.
The first installation in Hawaiian Lodge was held January 7, 1853,
when the officers elected December 31st previously, were installed by
Brother Robert C. Wyllie, then Minister of Foreign Affairs of the
Hawaiian Government, who had been specially deputized by our grand
master to perform that service.
On St. John's Day, December 27, 1854, the first presentation of a
past master's jewel was made by the lodge. The recipient was Past
Master Charles W. Vincent. Bro. Vincent had modestly declined the
proposed honor in view of the already heavy tax upon the brethren for
purposes of charity, but his objections were finally overruled.
In 1856 Hawaiian Lodge obtained the rental of a portion of the
third story of the Makee & Anthon block, at the corner of Queen and
Kaahumanu streets. This building, which was lately completed, was the
first three-storied brick building erected in Honolulu, all of the material
being imported from Boston for that purpose.

Here the lodge, whose membership had now increased to 46, held
its fiftieth regular meeting on the evening of Monday, October 6th of
that year, and continued in occupancy until September 30, 1879, a
period of twenty-three years.
A short time previous to this removal Lodge Le Progres de
l'Oceanie had made arrangements to resume work under its French
jurisdiction and several of our brethren who had originally been mem-
bers of that lodge demitted and renewed their allegiance to that body.
Much vexatious delay attended the transmission of the long-ex-
pected charter granted by their supreme authority. Vessels were not in
the habit of coming direct from France in those days but sometimes
they consumed a year or more on the indirect voyage. It is said that the
original charter and a duplicate were each lost by disaster at sea, but a
third copy was at length safely delivered; and at a meeting of Hawaiian
Lodge, held Monday, May 2nd, 1859, the Worshipful Master of Lodge
Le Progres de l'Oceanie, having intrusted to a committee appointed for
that purpose, the authority, under seal of the Supreme Council 33
degree of France, empowering them to work as a regularly constituted
lodge under its jurisdiction, the same was laid before the Lodge and a
resolution was passed acknowledging them to be in full fellowship as a
Masonic lodge of "Scottish Rite" and a mutual and cordial relationship
was then established which has since endured, with no contention, save
that noble emulation "who best can work and best agree."
In 1860, the two lodges combined in the first laying of a corner
stone with Masonic honors of which we have any record in these
Islands.
A year or two previously, His Majesty Kamehameha IV., im-
pressed with the necessity of some action to induce his people to adopt
more generally the rational care and curative methods of the foreigners
in combating the various ailments to which flesh is heir, conceived the
thought of establishing a general hospital at Honolulu and impressing
upon and giving opportunity to the Hawaiians to obtain the benefits to
be derived from such an institution.

"

P.. M.. EVERETT HOWE
A temporary hospital and dispensary was established, but to ac-
complish his main object, the King himself went from house to house
among the business portion of the community, book in hand, to solicit
subscriptions. As has ever been the case with the Honolulu public, a
plea of this nature met with prompt response, all the more prompt and
liberal, perhaps, because of the earnest and manly plea of the Royal
solicitor. Funds rapidly accumulated and in July, 1860, all was ready
for the laying of the corner stone of what His Majesty designated as the
"Queen's Hospital," in honor of his much loved and gentle consort,
Queen Emma.
As a zealous Mason he determined that the impressive service of
our order would be a fitting ceremonial for laying the foundation stone
of an edifice for the general and lasting benefit of the sick and suffering
people of his kingdom and race.
Accordingly, on the 17th day of July, 1860, the members of Lodge
Le Progres de l'Oceanie and Hawaiian Lodge assembled at Kawaiahao
church and escorted the Acting Grand Lodge to the spacious grounds,
the free gift of Queen Emma, where the original hospital, with the ad-
ditions since made, now stands.
The King, as P.. M.'. of Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie, officiated
as Grand Master, assisted by Hon. Robert G. Davis, of Lodge Le Pro-
gres, D. G. M.; Benj. F. Durham, of Hawaiian Lodge, S. G. W.; A. J.
Cartwright, of Hawaiian Lodge, J. G. W.; John Meek, of Lodge Le
Progres, G. T.; Abraham Fornander, of Hawaiian Lodge, G. Sec.; Rev.
Lorrin Andrews, of Hawaiian Lodge, G. Chaplain; Chas. W. Vincent,
of Lodge Le Progres, G. Architect.
This first impressive public ceremony of the Masonic Order and
the earnest and eloquent address of the King upon this occasion, con-
tributed greatly to remove the prejudice in the minds of the people who
naturally hesitated to adopt so radical a departure from their old ways
and remedies.
The lodges of Freemasonry established in Honolulu have ever been
appreciated by the stranger-brother, who has, either from chance or dur-
"
39
•
ing his travels around the worid, touched at these shores. But by none
perhaps have they been more appreciated than by the officers of the
great whaling fleet visiting Honolulu upon their return from the north-
ern cruise in the late autumn months of the fifties and early sixties.
Here they discharged their stores of oil and bone for trans-shipment to
the Atlantic ports of the United States and refitted for their midwinter
trip to the southward, returning in the spring months to again refit for
the Arctic and Okhotsk sea.
This was for some years a regular occurrence and whenever the
semaphore above the old postoffice at the head of Kaahumanu street,
swung its arms to No. 17 (whaleship off Koko Head), we knew that it
meant a few more of the brethren returning to the welcome shelter of
our lodge and the names and faces of the masters and mates of this
fleet were as a household word and greeting until in 1865, the Confed-
erate cruiser Shenandoah swept the northern seas and annihilated the
fleet that carried only harpoons for self-defense, and sent the impover-
ished crews, densely crowded, upon the few vessels that they released
for the purpose of carrying them to this port.
In those days there was no Royal Hawaiian or Moana hotel, in fact
there was no hotel worthy of the name, unless it might be the neat and
well cared for "Sailor's Home," at the corner of Merchant and Bethel
streets, which sheltered many of the whalemen's officers and their wives
during the season. A few of the foreign residents had also accommo-
dation for boarders and lodgers. But for amusement and recreation
there was little save the occasional advent of some theatrical or minstrel
troupe, who, as a rule, were eventually stranded here, and it being "too
leep to wade," were helped back by generous contributions in the way
of prepaid passages to the mainland. This was considered the proper
method of aiding these professional waifs, for they generally confessed
to such a love for Honolulu and its surroundings that a money contribu-
tion tended to lengthen their stay as long as it lasted.
If the spirits of departed actors and actresses could haunt the
scenes of their temporary triumphs, we might find ourselves surrounded

in the small hours of the night by the "spooks" of those who, many
years ago, delighted our isolated population, packed on sweltering
nights, in the illy-ventilated old Derby Theater, which occupied the very
spot where our Temple now stands.
Save for this occasional refreshment, there was only the barroom
and the public dance house to resort to. Under these circumstances our
brethren from the sea hailed the advent of lodge night.
Upon arrival in port they were prompt to report at the lodge room,
where they attended assiduously; joining earnestly in our labors and
ever genial in our hours of refreshment, until duty called them forth
again to their operative labor upon the mighty deep.
Among the most valued treasures of Hawaiian Lodge today—a
treasure upon which the casual visitor may gaze with but passing
interest, is a framed collection of daguerreotypes and ambrotypes,
including many of our former stalwart brethren, whose calling led them
to brave the dangers of the frozen north year after year in their hunt
after the great leviathan. Men inured to hardship of every form. Men
who had fearlessly faced privation and possible death, time and again
in pursuit of their venturous calling. Men, who in the pride of their
fraternal right, carried the banner with the square and compass to the
frozen Arctic seas, and at times they have told how, amid hardship.
and danger, eyes have been gladdened and hearts been warmed when
the blue flag of Masonry, with its well known symbol, has flown swiftly
to the mizzen truck in recognition and assurance to the ship of a brother
in distress; in assurance that those who flew the flag would come to
their aid, risking even life itself in the attempt for their rescue.
These were the men who knew truly the meaning of fraternal love.
These were the men, rough and bluff, perhaps, under the stern discipline
of a life spent largely away from the haunts of civilization, but under
whose weather beaten exterior carried hearts that beat as tenderly as
any loving woman's, when calamity, distress, sickness or sorrow ap-
pealed to them for relief. These were the brethren who were ever wel-
come within our portals and these also were the brethren who, when
43
disaster overtook them, knew that they were sure of relief and refuge
in this outpost of our order.
Very many of these men and brethren have vanished from the scene
and we have little left of them save these pictures and a fading remem-
brance. In a few years more most of the names will have passed from
recollection.
Yet they are not quite all gone, for on cur lodge roll we still carry
the names of two of those hale, hearty sailor brethren of the olden time
who claim Honolulu as their home. The lives of either of them would
make a book teeming with adventure that would be more wonderful
to read than many a published story of sea fiction. I refer to Brothers
Benjamin Whitney and Alfred Newton Tripp.
We are glad to have them with us upon this anniversary and we
trust to hold them with us long, for the sake of auld lang syne.
The corner stone of the new government building, “Aliiolani Hale,"
now known as the Judiciary building, was laid in the presence of His
Majesty Kamehameha V., on Monday, February 19, 1872. P.. M.. A. J.
Cartwright officiated, acting as the deputy of the Grand Master and the
various offices of the Acting Grand Lodge were filled by Past Masters
of the two lodges respectively. Jno. O. Dominis, P. C. Jones and H. A.
P. Carter of Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie, and Wm. F. Allen, John
A. Hassinger, Rev. G. B. Whipple and C. S. Bartow, of Hawaiian
Lodge.
On July 10, 1872, a dispensation was granted by Grand Master L.
E. Pratt to organize Maui Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons at Wai-
luku, the following brethren being named in the petition: Rev. Geo. B.
Whipple, W. M.; Daniel F. Sanford, S. W.; George Miller, J. W.;
Eugene Bal, Treasurer; E. W. Tallant, Secretary; M. E. Newton,
S. D.; C. Farden, J. D.; Samuel E. Ford, Tyler, also James Anderson
and Wesley Burnham.
On October 18, 1873, this lodge received its charter and was des-
ignated as Number 223 on the Grand Lodge roll.
The membership of Maui Lodge was somewhat scattered, many of
44

P.. M.. WILLIAM MONTROSE GRAHAM
the brethren coming from a distance—some from twenty miles or more,
to attend the meetings, necessitating their absence over night from
their homes on distant plantations and ranches.
After working in harmony for several years, some of the brethren
removed from the Island and it being difficult to obtain the necessary
officers from the scattered remaining membership, it was regretfully
voted to surrender its charter. The affairs of the Lodge were creditably
closed, its Books, Seal and Charter were transferred to the Grand Sec-
retary. All balances of dues were fully paid up, the cash balance for-
warded to the Grand Lodge and Maui Lodge declared extinct. Most of
its remaining members immediately affiliating with our Honolulu
Lodges.
The first official visit from a Grand Master to Hawaiian Lodge was
in 1878, when Grand Master John Mills Brown came to our shores. He
was received with all the honors due his rank; made a careful examina-
tion of all matters pertaining to the condition and work of the lodge and
paid the brethren some very pleasant compliments and congratulations
upon their devotion to the interests of the order and the prospects of
soon having a building of our own.
On Saturday, January 4, 1879, the corner stone of our first
Masonic hall at the corner of Fort and Queen streets was laid. Past
Master A. J. Cartwright, cur senior past master, was authorized by
special dispensation to represent our Grand Master in conducting the
ceremonies, in which he was assisted by past masters and members of
Hawaiian Lodge in the subordinate offices as follows: C. S. Bartow, D.
G. M.; Wm. F. Allen, S. G. W.; Jno. A. Hassinger, J. G. W.; Chas. T.
Gulick, G. Treasurer; D. K. Fyfe, G. Secretary, and L. Way, G. Arch-
itect. His Majesty, Kalakaua, was present at these ceremonies, wearing
his jewel as a past master of Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie, and
accompanied by Queen Kapiolani and the heir apparent, Liliuokalani,
and attended by all the Cabinet Ministers.
The members of the two lodges joined in procession, escorting the
47
acting Grand Lodge. The orator of the occasion was Past Master
Albert Francis Judd.
The lodge membership at this date numbered 78, but of those who
were upon the original lodge roll in 1852, but one survived-the acting
Grand Master, who then officiated.
The dedication of that hall on Tuesday evening, September 30,
1879, was without doubt the first Masonic dedication ceremony wit-
nessed in these Islands, it being the first building erected for Masonic
purposes, and was owned solely by Hawaiian Lodge.
The brethren convened for the last time in the old lodge room in
the Makee block at 7:30 p. m., where they were joined by the members
of Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie and numerous visiting brethren and
marched in procession to the new hall, escorting the acting Grand
Lodge, which consisted as follows: A. J. Cartwright, G. M.; Wm. F.
Allen, D. G. M.; C. S. Bartow, S. G. W.; John A. Hassinger, J. G. W.;
A. F. Judd, G. O. A choir of young Hawaiians, under Bro. the Rev.
Alexander Mackintosh, rendered the appropriate anthems and hymns,
and P... M.. A. F. Judd delivered the oration.
The corner-stone of Iolani Palace was laid on Wednesday, Decem-
ber 31, 1879, which, being the birthday of Queen Kapiolani, was selected
by His Majesty, Kalakaua, as a fitting day for the ceremonies.
All the local military and civic bodies took part in the grand pro-
cession. The representatives of foreign powers, officials of vessels of
war in port, and Government officials, with numerous ladies, assembled
under the spacious tent which was erected for the occasion. His Maj-
esty and Governor Dominis wore the insignia of the thirty-third degree.
of Masonry, and the ceremonies began at the hour of high twelve.
The following past masters officiated: David Dayton, of Lodge Le
Progres, D. G. M.; Wm. B. Wright, of Lodge Le Progres, D. G. M.;
Wm. F. Allen, of Hawaiian Lodge, S. G. W.; C. S. Bartow, of Hawaii-
an Lodge, J. G. W.; John A. Hassinger, of Hawaiian Lodge, G. Treas.;

P.. M.. ANDREW BROWN
HAWAIIAN

W. M., of Hawaiian Lodge, G. Chaplain, and Lewish Way, of Hawaiian
Lodge, G. Architect.
An address in English by Chief Justice Harris was, in his absence,
delivered by Associate Justice McCully. This was followed by a his-
torical address in Hawaiian by Bro. John M. Kapena, of Lodge Le
Progres, and Brother P.. M.. the Hon. A. Fornander, of Hawaiian
Lodge, delivered the Masonic oration.
At the conclusion of the oration, P.. M.. John A. Hassinger, of
Hawaiian Lodge, advanced to the corner stone and by request of His
Majesty presented to Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie, through its
master, James S. Lemon, the working tools of massive silver which
had been wrought expressly for use upon this occasion.
The first public installation of lodge officers of which we have
record, was held at the hall of Hawaiian Lodge, December 27, 1880.
P.. M.. John A. Hassinger was the installing officer, assisted by
P.. M.. Wm. F. Allen. The hall was well filled with guests, of whom
about sixty were ladies.
At the close of the installation ceremonies Bro. P.. M.. Allen called
up Bro. Frederick August Schaefer, who after fourteen years of faith-
ful service as treasurer of the lodge had been again elected to that
responsible office and just installed for the fifteenth time, and with a
few appropriate remarks unveiled and presented to him in the name of
the lodge a handsome black marble drawing room clock.
After this pleasant incident, the chairs were speedily removed and
the spacious lodge room transformed into a ball room. Professor Ber-
ger and his band took charge, and dancing filled the remaining hours till
early dawn.
In 1887 we were for the second time honored by an official visit
from a Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of California. This was
Grand Master Edmund C. Atkinson, who was accompanied by a large
delegation of the grand officers. The Grand Master was greatly inter-
ested in our work, conferring degrees and otherwise rendering us val-
uable assistance.
51
The grand officers were liberally entertained during their visit,
enjoying among other pleasures, a grand feast in the Hawaiian style
and a banquet given in their honor by His Majesty, Kalakaua, at the
Palace.
After some years of occupancy of our hall at the corner of Fort and
Queen streets, the members of our lodge began to realize the fact that
the lodge location was not as desirable as could be wished. It was no
longer a central locality. In a decade of years the city had spread east,
west and north, leaving our hall-after the rush of business hours had
ceased, in the silent, deserted lower end of the town, and the convic-
tion was forced upon the brethren that a change should be made for the
better. So when a fair offer was made for our building, a more central
and convenient location was sought and finally the choice was made of
this spot, and on Tuesday, December 27, 1892, the corner stone of our
present Masonic Temple was laid.
P.. M.. Wm. F. Allen, the senior past master of the lodge, repre-
senting the Grand Master, conducted the ceremonies in the presence of
Her Majesty, Queen Liliuokalani, with past masters of Hawaiian Lodge
filling the stations of the principal grand omcers as follows: Jno. A.
Hassinger, D. G. M.; Theo. C. Porter, S. G. W.; Wm. M. Graham, J
G. W.: Jas. M. Monsarrat, G. Treasurer; Jno. Phillips, G. Secretary.
Bro. Paul Neumann delivered an impressive oration upon this
· occasion.
To the contents of the copper casket buried under this stone, we
added those from the stone under our first building, which were cut out
from the foundation stone for this purpose, a few days previously.
On the evening of Monday, November 27, 1893, our temple was
solemnly dedicated to Masonry. The members of Hawaiian Lodge.
again met for a last time in a hall where for fourteen years it had been
the scene of frequent gatherings in the interests of our order, and where,
when its altar had been placed and guarded by its "Three Great Lights,"
it had been fondly hoped that they would so remain for generations to
come.

The lodge was here joined by the brethren of Lodge Le Progres
de l'Oceanie and the two lodges formed an escort to the Grand Lodge
in the procession to the new temple. Scats were reserved for the wives
and children of brother Masons and a choir from the Central Union and
Anglican churches rendered the appropriate anthems for the service,
under the direction of Wray Taylor, organist.
The following past masters officiated: Wm. F. Allen, Grand
Master; Theo. C. Porter, D. G. M.; John Phillips, S. G. W.; Jas. M.
Monsarrat, J. G. W.; Rev. Alexander Mackintosh, G. Chaplain, and
John A. Hassinger was the orator of the occasion.
In 1895 a third Masonic lodge came into existence in Honolulu. A
dispensation was granted by the District Grand Lodge of Queensland,
under the Grand Lodge of Scotland, and bearing date January 4 of that
year, authorizing the establishment of Pacific Lodge, No. 822, under
that jurisdiction. The original list of officers was as follows:
Henry E. Cooper, R. W. Master; Jas. A. King, Depute Master;
C. B. Ripley, Substitute Master; John Phillips, S. W.; F. B. Auerbach,
J. W.; C. L. Dodge, S. D.; Edwin Hughes, J. D.; E. D. Tenney, Treas-
urer; H. H. Williams, Secretary; R. F. Lange, Chaplain. Its regular
charter was issued under date of August 1st of the same year.
Pacific Lodge has grown and prospered well and in its seventh year
has a membership of 140.
In the latter part of 1896 Freemasonry sprang into active life in
Hilo. On the evening of December 3rd of that year a meeting of
Master Masons was held at the residence of Brother William W. Good-
ale, at Papaikou, when it was resolved to petition the Grand Lodge of
California for a dispensation to establish a Masonic lodge at Hilo,
Hawaii.
On December 5th the second meeting was held at the same place;
the petition was drawn and the name "Kilauea" Lodge selected.
The brethren taking part in the preliminary organization were:
Warren Goodale, Robert Moore, Wm. W. Goodale, John T. Moir,
55
Harold V. Patten, O. B. Braddick, Robert B. Williams, James Webster,
Wm. Bohm, Oscar J. Davis, Lewis F. Turner and Elmer E. Richards.
Of these brethren, nine were from Hawaiian Lodge, which had also
furnished much of the material in organizing Pacific Lodge in 1895.
On February 22nd, 1897, the third meeting was held at the home
of Brother Goodale, and the dispensation presented, and on February
27th, Kilauea Lodge held its first meeting under dispensation.
Under date of October 15, 1897, a charter was granted and
"Kilauea" Lodge was placed on the Grand Lodge Roll as number 330.
The first meeting under its charter was held February 18, 1898,
when its first regular officers were elected as follows:
Robert More, W. M.; R. B. Williams, S. W.; E. E. Richards, J.
W.; W. W. Goodale, Treasurer; H. C. Austin, Secretary; E. Thrum,
S. D.; James Webster, J. D.; A. C. Steel and J. H. Bole, stewards; L.
T. Grant, Chaplain; S. S. Peck, Marshal; W. S. Bohm, Tyler.
Kilauea Lodge, No. 330, is now a full fledged lodge, peaceful, pros-
perous, progressive, and is ably and faithfully fulfilling its mission of
brotherly love, relief and truth. They have recently purchased a large
lot on Waianuenue street and hope at an early date to see their way
clear to follow in the footsteps of Hawaiian Lodge and build for them-
selves a suitable and comfortable home.
As an evidence of the flourishing condition of Freemasonry in
Hawaii, we record the fact that there are four lodges of Master Masons.
in existence in our Territory, with membership on January 1, 1902, as
follows: At Honolulu, Hawaiian Lodge, 225; Pacific Lodge, 138;
Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie, 109. At Hilo, Kilauea Lodge, 79; or a
total of 551 Master Masons.
While I am supposed to confine myself to the history of Blue Lodge
Masonry, it would seem appropriate to record here the fact of the pros-
perous working of numerous higher branches of the order, including
Honolulu Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, Honolulu Commandery,
Knights Templar, Kamehameha Lodge of Perfection, Scottish Rite,
Nuuanu Chapter of the Red Cross, Alexander Liholiho Preceptory of
56

P.. M.. MOSE EDMUND GROSSMAN
Knights of Kadosh, and Aloha Temple of the Mystic Shrine, at Hono-
lulu, and Kalani Lodge of Perfection at Hilo. It was a happy thought
to link in and perpetuate with local Freemasonry names and words
which are inseparable from Hawaiian history.
•
Nearly all the members of these higher branches are members of
the local Blue Lodges, although a few retain membership in their home
lodges in other lands.
Nor must I neglect to mention—and may I apologize for not
placing them first instead of last-the two chapters of the beautiful
"Order of the Eastern Star," "Hawaiian" No. 1, at Hilo, and “Leahi”
No. 2, at Honolulu. For membership in this order the wives, mothers,
daughters, sisters and widows of Master Masons are eligible. A num-
ber of the husbands and fathers are in evidence also as members, but
the lady membership alone of the two chapters on January 1st, 1902,
numbered 65.
The Native Daughters of Hawaii hold the world's record as grace-
ful, splendid, daring riders, sitting astride their horses, erect in form,
firm in seat, robed in the bright-hued, flowing kihei, or divided skirt,
and adorned with leis, they form a picture not soon to be forgotten.
Their sisters from other lands, who have made Hawaii their home,
and who have a fondness for horseback exercise, have as a rule been
prompt to adopt the more healthful, more graceful and decidedly safer
method in riding. Possibly this mastery of the "spirited steed" may
have tended somewhat to the rapid building up of the Order of the
Eastern Star. Self-confident of their ability as horsewomen, they no
longer dread the ordeal of initiation.
Standing at this, the fiftieth milestone, marking the years of our
existence, Hawaiian Lodge may look with pardonable pride over her
record of the past and feel that although there may have been sorrows
and troubles to mingle with her joys, her labors in the best interests of
the "Brotherhood of Man" have not been altogether in vain.
In this hour we reverently remember those of our brethren who, in
59
obedience to the call of our Supreme Grand Master, have laid aside
their working tools and now rest from the labors of life.
We congratulate those who have been privileged to join in this
celebration of our "Golden Jubilee," and we charge the younger genera-
tion who are just entering the portals, to gird themselves well for the
duties consistent with a truly Masonic life; for a work which if well
and truly done will prove to be the noblest work of all their manhood's
years. And may they so strive that when the century of our existence.
shall have rounded out, Freemasonry and its kindred associations in
Hawaii may be counted in the foremost rank of those who labor less for
selfish aims, but who, under emotion and reason, realize that it is better
to give than to receive, and with whom "the quality of mercy is not
strained, but droppeth like the gentle dew of heaven upon the earth
beneath." The charity and the mercy which blesseth him who gives
and him who takes and becomes the Crowned Monarch better than
scepter.
At the close of Past Master Hassinger's address Professor J. H.
Amme rendered a violin selection most acceptably, accompanied by Miss.
Castle in her usual brilliant and sympathetic style, and was compelled to
respond to an encore.
In introducing the last speaker of the evening, Mr. Whitney said
it was not often that the lodge had the pleasure of having before it so
distinguished a Mason as Judge Morris M. Estee. Twice, he said, had
he been made Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of California, from
which came the jurisdiction under which Hawaiian Lodge was organ-
ized. Judge Estee spoke as follows:
WORSHIPFUL MASTER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :—It matters little
to the people of this generation whether Masonry is a modern or an
ancient institution. It is now everywhere in the wide world where
intelligent and civilized man abides. It fits all civilized peoples. Its
power for good is universal. It speaks but one language and that is
the language of humanity. That it is a wise institution is shown from
60

HAWAIIAN
P.. M.. JOSEPH MUSGRAVE LITTLE
the fact that the more it is criticized, the more it increases in numbers
and in influence.
The universality of Masonry is demonstrated by the fact that a
Mason on these Islands is a Mason everywhere; that while English is
spoken here in the lodge room, in Germany, German is spoken; in
France, French is spoken; in Russia, Russian in spoken, but Masonry is
always and everywhere the same. It speaks but one language. It is
known by its works.
In whatever land its lot may be cast it teaches two principles, the
brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God.
Masons have no Masonic religion and no Masonic politics. A
Mason's rights are simply those of any other citizen. He is purely a
benevolent man.
Masonic tradition tells us that Masonry was founded at the build-
ing of King Solomon's temple. Whether this be true or not, its prin-
ciples are as old as time and as abiding as the hills. It shows neither
the decrepitude of age nor the frivolity of youth. It is great because of
the good it has accomplished, not because of its age.
Masonry teaches all men to be better tomorrow than they are today.
It is the hand maid of civilization and it increases in numbers and
influence as civilization advances. It is helpful to those who need help.
It is a harbinger of peace among men. Nations go to war. Masonry
never makes war. It is a school for young men and an asylum for old
men. It teaches them all something new. It not only teaches the prin-
ciples of personal independence but the greater principle of self gov-
ernment. And to do this it must be and is a levelling institution? On
the floor of a Masonic Lodge room, all are equals. You note the regalia.
It is a simple white apron worn by all. Masonic knowledge is common
to all Masons. We have no secrets which are not intended to and which
do not promote the good of Masonry. And no man who is a good
Mason can be a bad citizen.
Masonry does away with caste and class distinctions among men.
In our order no one brother is born greater than another. Indeed there
63
are no born Masons, all are elected and all pass through a tutelage
peculiar to the Order.
This is a missionary association which has a mission. It is one of
the great lights of civilization and a teacher among the people.
It is fifty years since this Lodge was established. None of its
charter members now survive. What changes have occurred since
then. All the early members are gone, but the Lodge remains. Men
die, but Masonry lives.
What progress has been made in every field of human activity
within the last fifty years. Human slavery has been abolished in the
United States and these and other Pacific Islands have been admitted
into the American Union as American territory. Serfdom in Russia
has been abolished.
During the last fifty years the march of civilization has met with
no rebuff from the ruling powers of Europe, while in America the most
advanced steps have been taken towards the amelioration of the condi-
tion of mankind. Wages have doubled in 50 years; commerce on land
and sea has, in this country, nearly quadrupled. The United States has
risen from a third to a first class power and no limit is found to Ameri-
can progress.
On the mainland, railroads, factories, school houses and churches,
towns and cities have taken the place of the pathless woods of the past.
While Masonry has nothing to do with civil government except to
sustain it, yet it has much to do with whatever benefits the people.
When the laboring poor prospers; families are made happy and the
people are generally benefitted. The toilers of the world are the wards
of this great Order.
Look at the masterful strides art and science and literature have
taken in the last fifty years. What progress the art of printing has
made. Note how American productions have increased. How our
population has more than doubled, our wealth multiplied. The knowl-
edge of electricity both as a power and as a means of communicating
thought by land and sea has made wonderful advances. Now thought

comes to us along the bottom of the ocean "winged by the lightning and
guarded by the billows."
Thus in the whole field of science rare inventions have been
thought out; new achievements have been made in mechanics; steam
has doubled man's ability to do, while the electric current conveys to us
light by night and power by day. Fifty years ago, travel by sea was
mostly in sailing vessels; now travel by sea and land is by the power of
steam. Indeed
"God rules in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform."
Thus modern civilization means something. We enjoy more of the
comforts than we ever did before. The humblest laborer or mechanic
of today lives better, is better fed, clothed and housed than were the
rich men of many years ago. The advantages of free government.
among men, and the improvement of educational facilities means some-
thing to the people. The home life of the masses of men is everywhere
improving. At this time, age brings with it no necessities which cannot
be met.
""
Masonry is intended to aid in doing away with "man's inhumanity
to man. There should be no factions among Masons. A factious spirit
is a dangerous spirit whether it relates to a fraternal organization, to a
church or to a political party.
""
The master of a lodge owes a paternal duty to his lodge. It is the
first duty of the master of the lodge to set a good example to the mem-
bers of his lodge and then see to it that they profit by that example.
Masonry is not a temperance society, yet no good Mason can be an
intemperate man and it is the duty of the master to counsel with such
brothers as are intemperate, if any there be.
The Blue Lodge is the foundation of all Masonry. The three
degrees, the Entered Apprentice, the Fellow Craft, and the Master
Mason, are said to represent the youth, manhood and old age of
Masons. The legend of the third degree more particularly refers to
the immortality of the soul. In Masonry it is termed the sublime.
67
degree of a Master Mason. This is so as much for the importance and
solemnity of the ceremonies accompanying it as for the "profound les-
sons of wisdom which it inculcates."
We are taught that King Solomon's temple occupied seven years in
its construction and that during that time it did not rain in the day time
so that the workmen might not be obstructed in their labors. We all
know that this famous structure was supported by 1,453 columns and
2,906 pilasters, all hewn from the finest Parian marble.
The influence of Masonry reaches to all parts of the inhabited globe.
And yet we should remember that Masonry is a human institution
composed of human beings and it is possible in a great Order like ours,
that some one of us may make mistakes. A church, a school and a
Masonic Lodge room are found everywhere. They move forward as
men move. But whether as the pioneer of a new civilization or the relic
of an old one, it matters not, for Masonry is always the same great
society devoted to the same great purposes which has come down to us
unchanged by the lapse of time.
We always care for the sick, the widow and the orphan. We bury
the dead, we feed the hungry and we give drink to the thirsty.
Masonry stands in no one's way. It is jealous of no other society.
It has no quarrel with the churches, whether they are friendly or not.
There is work for all and room for all to work. Masonry stands for
peace and good order among men; for the enforcement of law; for the
maintenance of religious liberty, for liberty regulated by law, for free
schools, free speech and for public and compulsory education. In fact,
for every wise system of self government.
Masonry teaches that all men should love God and obey his laws,
but it leaves creed and sect alone, for Masons have no religious creed
which is not broad enough for all mankind. Masons have no political
party as such, and yet Masons take a conspicuous part in all free gov-
ernment. The order never dictates either the politics or the religion of
its members. It shirks no duty as good citizenship requires. In time of
national peril it defends its country as is its duty, but it never encour-
68

P.. M.. JOSEPH MORTON OAT
ages war or national strife. We do not claim that Masonry represents
all the good there is, but we know it represents only what is good. It
is said Masonry is the most conservative fraternal order in existence.
This is doubtless true and yet it advances as men progress. It is one
of the great teachers among men. It helps build up and never pulls
down.
Masonry does its work in secret and it does its charity in secret,
and so we are a secret order. It does not seek for popular applause nor
does it in any sense aspire to be a popular order. It is just good and
instructive and that is all. It teaches men the secrets of life and the
certainty of death and it seeks to improve the one and to prepare for the
other.
It should be remembered always that Masons owe a duty to the
family of the deceased brothers and to all sick and afflicted Masons.
When a brother Mason dies, it is the duty of his surviving brothers to
assist his unfortunate family if need be. Do not think your Masonic
duty ends with your attendance upon the Lodge or that all Masonic
charities must come from the Treasury of the Lodge. No man can be
a good Mason who is not prepared to dedicate some of his time and for-
tune for the benefit of others.
My brothers, Masonry is one of the sunbeams of human action,
Do not think the whole of Masonry consists in a perfect knowledge of
our secret or monotorial work, although these should be known; but
rather the soul, the spirit of Masonry, consists in our being better men
now and in not relying alone on what others have done before us.
Let us try to wisely fill the niche in the temple set apart to us. It
is contrary to the principles of our Order to ask any one to join the
Order. There are no objections to a Mason's explaining to a person.
who seeks admission into the Order some of our well known funda-
mental principles. But there is a most serious objection to a man's
attempting to persuade any one to become a member. The novice might
be disappointed: the burthens might be heavier than he would wish to
C
71
bear; and if so, he would soon become a luke-warm Mason, which is
worse than no Mason.
The best evidence of the great value of the Order is the fact that
the longer most Masons are members of the Order the more devoted
they are to its principles. Whenever you see any public demonstration
of Masons, you see side by side, men who are venerable in years and the
best young men of the country. You see men who are learned and
men who are plain and unschooled in books. You meet the man who
toils for his daily bread and the man of wealth and position, all of whom
stand together. Masonry as I have said before recognizes no distinc-
tions among men. There are no front seats for the strong nor back
seats for the weak; all are equal.
As the closing number of the program, Brother D. P. R. Isenberg
sang very effectively Adam's "Isle of Dreams," accompanied by Miss
Marie von Holt. In response to an encore, which was loud and long,
he responded with a German song, “O Schoene Zeit, O Sel'ge Zeit,"
Carl Moetze, which was equally well appreciated and applauded.
At the close of the exercises the audience adjourned to the Banquet
Hall and ante-rooms, where an informal reception was held by the
Brethren, who, forming themselves into an efficient corps of waiters,
attended assiduously to the refreshment of their guests. Sandwiches,
salads, ices, cakes, lemonade and a delicate and delicious punch were
plentifully supplied and the time passed in pleasant converse and con-
gratulations, and it was not until a late hour that the guests of the
Oldest Lodge departed.
