Introduction

Pruclice undProcedurefor theScottishRite is at onceaworthy contribution to Masonicliteratureandvaluableasa handbookfor conductingthework of the ScottishRiteBodies.Thebackgroundstatementsfor thechapterson theFeastof Tishri andMaundyThursday,in particular,areinthe eloquentstyle of Brother Clausen,and their subjectmattermustbe mostinformative to our membership.Bothchapters,togetherwith the Ring Ceremonyandthe Cere-mony of Joint Installation, provide opportunitiesto pre-sentthe ScottishRite to Masonsandnon-Masonsalikein apleasingand effective manner,andtheir usein practicewill inspireagrowth in membership.

The introductorymaterial is especiallyhelpful andwilldo muchto bring into uniformity our decorumin dress,onfeastdays,and in receivingvisitors in our Bodies. Usefulsuggestionsaregiven for theconferringof the degreesandcareful attention to them will expeditethe conferralandenhanceits beauty. It makesfor convenience,also, tohave under one cover the ritual for the Scottish RiteFuneralService.

A thoughtfulstudy of the volumewill clarify andcor-rect many procedureswhich Officers of the Bodies may

haveneglectedandwill bring to attention,perhapsfor thefirst time, othersneveradoptedin practice.The Glossarywill give assuranceto ritualistswho seekto do their workto perfection.

Officers and theworkersin the Rite will welcomethiseffort of theGrandCommander.It is a work in which hemaywell takegreatprideandin whichwe shallsurelyfindinspiration.

CHAPTER ONE

General Instructions

The Name of The Supreme Council

The immortal bard Shakespeareasked,“What’s ina name?”The nameof The SupremeCouncil revealshistory, tradition, glory and accomplishment.It

should, therefore,be treatedwith dignity andrecord-ed with accuracy. The official, full name of thisSupremeCouncil is: “The SupremeCouncil (MotherCouncil of the World) of the Inspectors GeneralKnightsCommandersof the Houseof the TempleofSolomon of the Thirty-third Degreeof the AncientandAcceptedScottish Rite of Free N4asonryof theSouthern Jurisdiction of the United States ofAmerica.”

1

Location of The SupremeCouncilThe Supreme Council was organized on May 31,

1801, in the city of Charleston,Stateof SouthCaro-lina. It is appropriate,therefore,that this birthplace

should be the historic location of what is called theSee of The SupremeCouncil. The Executive andAdministrative Offices of The Supreme Council,however, are located in the magnificent structure

called the House of the Temple in our Nation’s

r Capital, Washington, D.C. To be authentic, allDecrees, Balustres, Charters, Diplomas, and other

official documentsmustbe issuedfrom the HouseoftheTemple.

Location of Subordinate Bodies

To assureproper form and attribution, all Subordi-

nate Bodieswill dateanddesignatetheir official pro-grams,announcementsand signaturesfrom its loca-tion called a Valley, in its city andOrient, includingthe title. For example, Alexandria, Virginia,A.~. &A.~. ~ of Freemasonry.

Houseof theTemple, Washington,D.C.

Toastsof Obligationarecentralto theRite’s Refectionsand may never be omitted. They are sacramental,ofsacredcharacterandare symbolic of the solemnObliga-tions thatbind usto the Rite. Also, the Toastsof Obliga-tion, reflectingthe order of the Rite, mustbe offeredandexecutedin this sequence:

1. To the Governmentof the Country.

2. To The SupremeCouncil.

3. To the SovereignGrandCommander,by name.

If therearevisiting Brethrenor guests,they are toastedassuch,but only after thesixth Toastof Obligation.If anyspecial toast is presented,as peculiar to the particulardegreein which the Refectionis had, it is given after thefourth Toastof Obligation.

The exact mannerof drinking the toast and the estab-lished drinking acclamationare followed as defined ineachdegree.

It is requiredthat all Toastsof Obligationbe given andsharedstanding.

Caps

The cap is consideredas a part of the uniform and istreatedas such. Consequently,it must not be removedwhen the flag is passing, while saying the Pledge ofAllegiance,or participatingin a prayer.On suchoccasionsas the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance or the per-

formanceof thenationalanthemin songor music, thecapremainson the head,and the ScottishRite Masonplaceshis right handon his heart.Whenpraying, the capremainsin place,but theheadis slightly bowedandthe handsareplaced in the “Sign of the Good Shepherd”:the left armfolded over the right with fingers outstretchedandtouching the shoulderscomfortably. This dignified posi-tion reflectsthecompassionatespirit of the ScottishRite inrecallingtheGood Shepherdashe carrieda lamb overhisneck, holding its feetwith his crossedhands.

The Altar

The centralfocus of all significant ceremoniesandfor-ma1 degreesin the Scottish Rite is the altar. It must bepreparedandarrangedwith meticulouscare.For monthlymeetings,the appropriateinstructionsof the FourteenthDegree,theEighteenthDegree,the Thirtieth Degreeor theThirty-secondDegreemust be followed. Consultthe indi-vidual degreesfor exactdetails.

For Reunions, the altar is arrangedaccording to thespecific direction of eachdegreein presentation.Refer to“Rituals” for relevantinformation.

Visiting Bodiesin OtherJurisdictions

The Great Book speaksof “the right handsof fellow-ship.” [Galatians 2: 9] In the ScottishRite, this fraternalgraspandthe bondof friendshipandBrotherhoodit sym-bolizesshouldbe sharedas oftenaspossible.Whetherontrips of pleasureor business,membersof the Rite areencouragedto witnessthework of other Valleys. Admis-sion doesnot require examination.To gainentrance,it issufficient for a visiting memberto presenta currentduescard or, in some instances, to display his MembershipPatentor Certificate.

Attending MeetingsandReunionsIn the Mother Jurisdiction

To assurethat only actual membersin good standingparticipatein the work of anyBody in theMotherJurisdic-tion, eachBrother must carry in his possessiona currentmembershipcardandbe willing to presentit on demand.If so desired,he mayalso be required to exhibit a regularPatentor Diploma of the HighestDegreeconferredin thatBody that The SupremeCouncil has issued.Only uponsuchcertificationas the abovemaya memberbe permittedto attendthe Bodyin which he holdsmembershipor visitany otherBody of the Rite in theMother Jurisdiction.

CHAPTER TWO

Degrees

Communication Text

My text, Clausen’sCommentarieson Morals andDog-ma, providesin a brief style cogentexplanationsof thedegrees.When for good reasonit is not possibleto exem-plify adegreein full form andthe exemplicationof whichis not mandatory,the appropriatesectionfrom this workmust be used becausethe Mother SupremeCouncil hasadoptedthis as the Official andrequiredform of Com-munication, under thesecircumstances.

Conferral Lectures

The wisdomof theRite is timeless.It shouldnot be sub-jected to personalopinionsor interpretations.Whencon-ferring or communicatingthe degrees,remain faithful tothoselecturesPROVIDED andADOPTED. Underspecialcir-cumstances,the lecturesmaybe abbreviatedsubstantiallyor omittedentirely, but neversubstituteanyotherlecturefor theauthorizedandacceptedversion.

A darkenedLodge room often is conduciveto aneffec-tive lecture, andin somecasesthe degreemay suggestalow level of lighting. Do not, however,plungethe roominto total darkness.This is an inconvenienceto many, asafety hazard,contrary to the intent of the degreedirec-tionsandin contrastto theCraft’s faith in the immortalityand invincibility of light.

Equation of Degrees Opening on Degrees

As the world’s only universal Fraternity, the Craftembracesall good meneverywhereand encouragestheexchangeof Masonicfellowship in pursuitof the Brother-hoodof Man underthe Fatherhoodof God. To foster thisspirit of unity, the Supreme Councils of England andWales, Scotland,Ireland, The Netherlands,theNorthernN4asonicJurisdiction, Canada,and the Mother Jurisdic-tion have approved the following Equation of Degreeswith the National Grand Lodges of Sweden,Norway,DenmarkandIcelandpracticingthe Ritesthat includetheScottishRite.

Music

Music is oneof themosteffectiveelementsin theconfer-ral of the Scottish Rite degrees.It establishesmood,touchesthe heart andelevatesthe mind. Control, how-ever, is crucial. Music must assist,not hinder, the degreeas a whole. Keep selectionsshort, appropriateandcom-plementary.Neveroverdomusicalaccompanimentso thatit drownsout the degree’smessage.Music is alwayssec-ondary to the lessonsymbolizedin the degree. In fact,severaldegreesrequireno musicat all. It mustbe remem-beredmusicduring adialogueis always inappropriateinthosethatbenefit from musicalenrichment.

Accordingto our Statutes:Whena Bodyis openedin itshighestdegreeall its degreesare openedand it may passfrom work in onedegreeto work in anotherwithout otherform than thedeclarationthat it does so.

Proposition for Degrees

Order is the hallmark of The GrandArchitect of theUniverse,andit is centralto the ScottishRite. Froma can-didate’sfirst tentativestepson the path of Freemasonry,set formsmustbe recognizedandfollowed. The “Proposi-tion for Degrees”as describedin theStatutes(1979,ArticleXVII, Section7) of The SupremeCouncil clearly states:

“Any qualified personresidingwithin the territorialJurisdictionof aBody maybe proposedatanystatedmeetingthereofby propositioningin writing, signedby one member and secondedby another,also inwriting. Such propositionmay be madewithout theknowledgeof thepersonproposed.A Body may, byits By-laws, requirecandidatesto apply for Degreesby petition in writing.”

Oncea “proposedBrother” is accepted,he is informedof this fact and invited to file a regular petition. If he isrejected,the matter is closed,andno one is notified. Anadherenceto the following rules applying to “proposi-tions” assurescorrect handling of this initial and all-importantportion of a Masoniccareer.

1. Proposeonly MasterMasonspersonallyknown toyou as worthy of Scottish Rite membership.Signyour nameas“proposer”andhavea mutualScottishRite Brothersign as “seconder.”

2. Give the “proposition” to your Secretarywho willnotify the candidate, if his election has beensuc-

1<

12 13

cessful. Preferably,suchnotification is presentedtothe-candidatein a formal, attractivecertificate ofelection.This custom,plus specialdelivery handling,impressesthe candidatewith the importanceof hisacceptancein the Rite.

3. A siK-monthperiod of petition allows thecandidateto inform himself aboutthe ScottishRite andto con-sider the significance of his joining the Rite. If hepetitions for membership,he is asked to designatethe memberwho most influencedhis decision.

4. Shouldunusualcircumstancesarise,a secondballotmay be required.

5. During the six-monthperiod following the originalproposition,no secondpropositionfor the samecan-didatemaybeconsidered,exceptasnotedin No. 4.

A copy of the “Propositionfor Degrees”facingthispageis furnishedfor your convenience.

Publicationof Namesof Petitionersfor Degrees

While not a “secret” organizationin anyinvidioussenseof the word, the ScottishRite must sustaina consideredselectivityandconfidentiality regardingcertainaspectsofits beneficial work. On apersonallevel, this is of especialimportanceregardingpetitionerswherea rejectionof theRite might act detrimentally on the individual’s personallife andcommunity status.Under absolutelyno circum-stances may any Subordinate Body of the MotherSupreme Council—its officers or other members—publish, circulateor in any otherprinted or written formmakeavailableto the membersof thatBody or to anyoneelse, a list of the namesof petitionersfor the degreesoraffiliation.

Reunions—Nameof Body or Class

Our Statutesclearlystatethat no Bodyor Classof can-

Ritualistic Illustrations

Thesublimemessageof Freemasonryis preservedfor allagesin the symbolicbeauty of our ScottishRite degrees.The complex meetingof rituals, rubrics, costumes,scen-ery, properties,forms and ceremoniesconveysan inef-fable meaning to the heart and mind of the preparedMason.Thesearenot mattersfor generalknowledge.[t is,therefore, strictly forbidden to print, publish or in anyothermannerduplicateandmakeknownanyaspectof theconferring of the degreesof the Ancient and AcceptedScottish Rite of the Mother Jurisdiction exceptas TheSupremeCouncilor GrandCommandermayhaveautho-rized. No program or other publication can extract,explain, summarizeor presentany part of the degreesanywhereat anytimeexcept in a tiled meetingor for thepurpose of communication or rehearsal. The famousAmericanpoet,Emily Dickinson,said:“Publication is theauction of the mind of man.” No member except asauthorized, may “auction” any element of our greatMasonic heritage epitomized in the degreesbefore theunenlightenedor unentitled.

Sequence

As steel first is temperedwith heat andthencold, sosequencemustbe observedin the creationof the ScottishRite Freemason.All degreesmust be conferredin propersuccession.To processsteel incorrectly yields a brittle,weak metal. Similarly, breaking the establishedorder ofthe degreesreducestheir effective patternandhinderstheinitiate’s attainmentof light. Never, forexample,presenta

degreeout of order, say theTwenty-sixthduring the dayand theTwenty-first at night, nor combinetwo or moredegreesinto one, such as the Ninth and Tenth or theNinth, Tenth and Eleventh as one degree.Centuries ofMasonicdevelopmenthave resultedin the presentorderandform of the ScottishPite degrees.To tinker or tamperwith this preciousheritageis to threatentheessenceof ourbelovedRite.

Signs, Tokens, Words, and Paraphernalia

The aim of eachdegreeis enlightenment.That whichaidsthisgoalis acceptable;whatdetractsfrom it shouldbeavoided.Thus it is permittedto deletethe explanationofcertainsigns,passwords,batteries,apronsandcordonsorcollars in some degrees(exceptthe Fourth, Fourteenth,Eighteenth, Thirtieth and Thirty-second) when suchommissionassiststhe overall impact of thework on theBrethren. In some cases, full explanation enhancesthedegree and should be retained. In any degree it is notrequiredthat the apron, cordonor collar actuallybe puton the candidate.Holding them up so that all may seeissufficient. Here, as always, symbolic importanceis pre-dominant,andtraditionallysomeslightvariationfrom thedegrees,as in the casesof the specific items above, isallowed in order to accent the messageof the ceremony.

The Fourteenth DegreeRing

Purity of Honor, integrity of the Sword, spotlessnessofthe Shield—thesewere the three highest ideals of ourancientbrethren.“Honor that neverbroke the faith withany one” was supremeand preserveddespitedangerorpersonalloss. ~iIntegrity of the Sword in never failing todraw it in defenseof innocentand right” was a dutyembracedwith fervor andacteduponwith courage.“TheShield never to be sullied by protecting oppressionand

16 17

wrong”wasthesymbolof eachbrother’sdedicationto theknighthood.Whenthe ancientknight passedto hiseternalhome, he bequeathedhis Honor, Sword and Shield toanother,onenearanddear, onehe knew would carry onhis questunblemishedandvictorious.

The Scottish Rite FourteenthDegreeRing symbolizestheseancientemblems.Eloquentlysimple, it is a flat, plainband of gold or other material resemblinggold, andembosedthereonan engravedor enameledplate in theform of an equilateraltriangle andwithin the triangle theHebrewletter “Yod.” In it thereis inscribed the ScottishRite Motto: VirtusJunxit, Mors No~’z Separabit(Virtue hasunited and death shall not separate).The ring’s circleexpressesthe fraternalbond betweenall menandall gen-erations. On its owner’s death, it should be given withdignity andpride to anotherScottishRite Masonsohe cancarry on asimilarMasonicHonor, SwordandShield thatthe ring symbolizes.

Although the ring may be altered to fit the newBrother’s finger, it neednot be changed.There is no off i-cial instruction designatingon what finger it should beworn. The positionis frrelevantsolong asthe ring is wornwith honorappropriateto the fallen Brother, hisfraternalheir, and the Rite. As an evidence of authenticity, thewearingof the ScottishPite ring is mandatoryunder ourrituals, vows, laws, regulationsandcustoms.

SeeChapterNine, page81, hereinafter,for furthersug-gestions.To drawattentionto the importanceof the ring,a numberof Valleyshave elicited enthusiasmamongtheBrethrenandopengeneralfamily attendancewith a com-bined ring and cap presentation.For such occasions,memorable thoughts concerning this honored Masonictradition may be distributedin the form of my essay,“IfYour ScottishRite Ring CouldSpeak.”

Feast of Tishri

Preliminary Note

Referenceshould be made to the origin of the Feastas

describedin the Book of Leviticuswhereit is said that the

Lord spokeuntoMosessayingthat on thefifteenth day oftheseventhmonth (thefirst month of theHebrewcivil calendar)when “ye [shall] havegatheredin the fruit ofthe land, ye shall keepa feastunto the LORDsevendays: ... . land]Ye shall dwell inboothssevendays..That your generationsmayknow that I madethe childrenof Israeltodwell in booths,whenIbrought them out ofthe landof Egypt.”

[IIEtrog, “Descendantof theHigh Priest”Isider KaufmanKeterPublishingHouse,Ltd

Why the Feast of Tishri?

The oi~iginsandsignificancesof the Feastof Tishri makeit the most ScottishRite of festivals. No other occasionepitomizesthe characterand purposeof the Rite morewholly thanthis historic celebrationof the dedicationofKing Solomon’sTemple.To marshalthe meaningsof thefeastis to summarizethe principle idealsandtraditionsofour Fraternity.

First of all, weobservetheFeastof Tishri becauseit is anage-oldcustomwhich now has thepower of law. Underthe Stcitutes of The Supreme Council, the feast is“obligatory,” asacramentalsharingof our fraternalspirit.Freemasonshavealwaysreveredordersincewe recognizethat thereis aSupremeOrder that structuresall creation.MasonicLaw reflects this divine order, andwe serve thepurposesof The GreatArchitectof the Universewhenweobservethis vow of obedienceto the Rite.

Secondly,the rich legendryof the Temple’sdedicationwhich is celebratedin theFeastof Tishri is anessentialpartof the FourteenthDegree. The symbolic details of theTemple’s position, design, construction, furnishing anddecorationcarry intensemeaningas they apply to thespiritual templeof Freemasonrybuilt in the soul of everyBrother. Through the symbols of the Temple we gainenlightenmentand we recommit ourselves to buildingFreemasonry‘‘in the heartsof menandamongnations.’’

Significantly, a king of peace and wisdom built the

Temple.The Lord forbadeDavid, a warrior anda manofblood, to constructtheTempleand,instead,deliveredthisresponsibility and glory to Solomon whose very namemeans peace.Thus in observing the Feastof Tishri we

reaffirm our dedication to human concord and thebrotherhoodof all menin aworld of peace.As individualsandasBrothersin theRite weresolveto build, asSolomondid, through harmony and cooperation, ever seekingpeacefor all mankind.

The consecrationof the Templemust alsobe observedat the Feastof Tishri, becauseit teachestheequalityandunity of all membersof the Rite. The people of Israel,unified underSolomon,wereequalin theirdevotionto the

King Solomon’sTemple—BealePhotographyby H ArmstrongRoberts,Philadelphia,Pennsylvania

48 49

Lord andequalin their sovereigntyto all othernations.Inthe Feastof Tishri, all Perfect Elus and thoseof higherdegreescanjoin at thebanquettableandsharethebondoffraternalunity.

Yet anotherreasonto keep the Feastof Tishri is thatsuch observancefosters the warm spirit of fraternalfellowship so vital to our Rite. We meet at a commontable, expressour mutual esteemand so promote thatessentialbondof cordiality andrespectwhich lightensandsharesthe weight of our Masonicendeavors.Suchsocialamenitiesopenus to eachotherin anatmosphereelevatedbeyond the sphereof normal, day-to-daycommunication.Within the context of the Feastof Tishri we realizemoredeeplythaneverbeforethevalueof ourfellow man,with-out which the individual is lost in a self-imposedprisonofhumanisolation.

Lastly, the law, legendry, peace,equality, unity andfellowship of the Feastof Tishri combineto makethis theMasonic feastof feasts.At the RefectionTableall men—Jew, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and others—join in acommonvoiceof thanksgivingto God.The Feastof Tishriis a Masonic feastof thanksgivingwhere every man cansharehis gratitudeandexpresshis sincerethanksto Himwho made all things. The Deity has given us life, thestrengthto live it fully, and the joy of sharingthebeautyandgoodnessof His creationwith our fellow man.Mostof all, He has given us freedom. The Feast of Tishricelebrates this freedom the Israelites won with theguidanceof providence,despitethe shacklesof Egypt andthe armiesof the Philistines.

50

This ancient victory celebratedin the dedication ofSolomon’sTempleis keptforeverfreshthroughour keep-ing of the Feastof Tishri. It promisesto all men that theburdensof tyrannyare temporary,that the darknesswillyield to light, that knowledgewill conquerignorance,andthat theCreatorintendedmento be free. The messageofTishri comes to us strongly andclearly from acrosstheagesbecauseit hasbeensopreservedin thesymbolismandallegory of the ScottishRite. Throughour observanceofthis greatfeast of thanksgivingwe, as heirs of Solomon,perpetuatehismagnificentTempleof freedomin our lives,our communities,our Country and, most of all, in ourbelovedRite.

Conducting the Feast

Pcirt One

The celebrationof the Feastof Tishri will be observedby the Lodgesof Perfectionon the15th dayof the Hebrewmonth of Tishri. It will be divided into two parts:thecon-duct of the Lodge, with a following feast of celebrationand its appropriateceremonies.

Except for the “Toasts of Obligation’ given during thefeast, the following suggestionsfor planning and sharingthe feastarenot sacramental.They maybevaried as fitsthe needsof the individual Lodge of Perfection.A properflexibility of the celebrationallows the maximumbenefitfor the Brethrenwhile sustainingthecoreof tradition andform inherent in the observationof this great Masonicfeastday. As a patternwhich hasproved its worth, thefollowing guideholdsgreatvaluefor theLodgesof Perfec-tion andfor our entireScottishRite of Freemasonry.

51

ii:

I

A&cording to its establishedcustom,theFraternityofPerfect Elus will meet in its usual place of assembly.Thenthe Officers or Brethrensodesignatedwill “Open”the Lodge in full or short form. If possible,the full formshouldbe used.Often a largenumberof Valleys in theMother Jurisdiction confer the degreesat ReunionsorConvocations.Time seldompermitsthefull form of the“Opening” and “Closing” ceremoniesof the Lodge ofPerfection,and many Brethren have never heard theinspiredlessonsandeloquentwords of thesesections.

II

After the Lodge has been “opened,” the VenerableMaster, the Secretaryor some other Brother who hasbeenselectedfor the honor will read the messageofyour SovereignGrand Commanderstatedpreviously,“Why the Feastof Tishri.” (Page48.)

III

Following the reading of the Grand Commander’sMessage,a Brother respectedfor his eloquenceandclarity will readaloud theObligationof theFourteenthDegreeof the ScottishRite so that all the Brethrencanhearandrespondagainto the responsibilitiestheyhavegladly acceptedasBrethrenof the Mystic Tie.

IV

The Brethrenwill thenjoin in prayerrequestingguid-

52

anceand inspiration befitting this greatfeastday. The

following prayer would be appropriate:

“SovereignAuthor of the Universe, we pay untoyou thesincerehomageof ourferventgratitudefor allthe blessings which Thy infinite goodness hasbestowedupon us. We beseechThee to purify ourheartsin the sacredfire of Thy love,andto guideanddirect usin thewaysof virtue. Let PeaceandCharityform the chain of our union; causeus in this Lodgefaintly to imitate the condition of the Elect in ThyHoly andSpiritualKingdom; enableusin all thingstodiscernandadoptthe goodandreject the evil; let notpretendedzeal and devotion deceiveus, nor let usdeceiveourselvesas to ourweaknessesanderrors;aidusin advancingthepurposesandattainingtheobjectsof the true andgenuineMasonry; andthusenableusto serve our fellows andassist in carrying forwardThy greatdesigns.Somote it be. Amen.”

V

TheLodgewill thenbe“closed” in full or short form.

VI

After the Lodge of Perfection has been officially“closed,” the Brethrenwill join their guestsat theban-quethall andenjoy the feast.

Part Two

The essential element in any Masonic refection isfellowship, not food. Thereforethe table set to celebrate

53

the Feastof Tishri maybe assimpleor assplendidlyladenas the good judgmentof the Brethrendecides.Whetherasimple fraternal breaking of bread or the sharing of asumptuousbanquet,the dinnerwill be causeof rejoicingbecauseit recallsto usthegreatdaywhenSolomon’sTem-ple wasdedicatedandtheRitebeganits illustrioushistory.

I

The only absolutelyrequiredelementsof thecelebra-tion of the Feast of Tishri are the “Toasts ofObligation.” The ritual of the degreesof the Lodge ofPerfectionstatestheyare“sacramentalandcanneverbeomitted.” Traditional in wording and sequence,thesetoastsmust be given in order andwith great dignity.“All the Toastsof Obligationaredrunkstanding.”Thetablefor the refe.ctionof theLodge,asprescribedin theritual, shouldhavea traditional form, eitherhorseshoe,crossor rectangle.Officers, similarly, will assumetablepositionsassignedto them in the ritual.

The “Toastsof Obligation” are set forth on page6.

II

A very desirableaspectof the Feastof Tishri is theinclusionof variousspecialfeaturesbetweentheToastsof Obligation. Appropriatevocal or musical selectionscanaddmuchto the atmosphereof the occasion.Also,ashort theatricalpresentationor scenicrepresentation

of aMasonicor patrioticnaturecanprovideadramaticaccent. A short inspirational addressby a selected

speakerwill give fresh perspectivesto the feast day.Ideally, a combination of theseor other elementstheindividual Brethren of the Lodge of Perfectiondevisecanmakethecelebrationof the Feastof Tishri themostmemorableMasoniceventof theyear.

Joy and celebrationare the keynotes of this feast.Everythingmustbe aimedat sustainingthisspirit; there-fore, the programmustneverbe long or tiresome.Per-formersandspeakersshouldbe chosenasmuchfor theirbrevity as for their musical, dramatic or rhetoricalexcellence.Very definiteandshort timelimits especiallymust be appliedto all participants, and to thosewhorespondto toasts,if suchresponsesarepermittedat all.

The overall planning and conductof We festival ofTishri are left to the discretionof the individual Lodgesof Perfection and their Brethren. The above outlineoffers suggestionsthat have proved appropriateoverthe yearsin attractingnew members~o the Rite and inencouraginggreaterparticipationamongpresentmem-bers. The details of each celebration of the Feast ofTishri areleft to the good tasteandskill of the Brethrenin chargeof the festivities.

The Mystic Bond

“Of a truth, menaremysticallyunited:amysticbond ofbrotherhoodmakesall menone.” Thesewordsof ThomasCarlyle expressthe essenceof the Scottish Rite. In cel-ebrating the Feastof Tishri we rejoice in this bond and

5455

shareit acrossthe festive ritual table. It is a time of joy,love, peaceandfellowship. It is the mostMasonicof feastsand should be celebratedamongall Brethren of the Ritewith adeepsenseof gratitudefor all The GreatArchitectof the Universe has given to us. This day of Masonicthanksgiving originated in the dedication of Solomon’sTemple,but in continuing this celebrationof the FeastofTishri our belovedRite of FreemasonrybuildsanotherandgreaterTempleamongmenandnations—theTemple ofUniversalandEternalBrotherhood.

The Feastof Tishri: Symbol, Significance,Law

Friedrich von Schiller, the great German poet anddramatist,observedthat “a deepmeaningoften lies in oldcustoms.”Many will observetheholly of Christmas,thecandlesof Hanukkah,thepaintedeggsof Easter,the fire-crackersof the Fourth of July andthe stuffed turkey ofThanksgiving.The more thoughtfulwill seebeyondthesefestivesurfacesto thefundamentalthemesinherentin eachobservance.The treasuredhope of Christmas, the deter-mined courage of Hanukkah, the confirmed faith ofEaster, the true patriotismof the Fourth of July and thenationalgratitudeof Thanksgiving—eachhumanemotionand aspirationsymbolizedin theseoccasionsis part ofnature,anelementin theeternalplanof The GrandArchi-tect of the Universe. Togetherthey presenta pattern oflife. Theyoutline man’splacein existenceandtherole he isto play in the drama of creation.

While observingall theabovefeastsandmore, the Scot-tish RiteFreemasonpaysspecialreverenceto anotherday,long recognizedin Masonictradition and law—the Feast

of Tishri. This day,aboveall others,speaksto theheartofevery Masonandsymbolizesthe ancientorigin andcon-tinuing truth of our Rite. Surviving recordsindicatethatthe Brethren havealways celebratedthe Feastof Tishriwith proper ceremonies.The customdid not take on theforce of law, however,until 1866 whenthe Statutesof TheSupremeCouncil selectedthe 15th day of the Hebrewmonth of Tishri as the official feastday of the LodgesofPerfectionand as “the day of the dedicationof the firstTemple,” the Templeof Solomon.

In 1885, aRevising Committeemadethe feast“obliga-tory” andset its dateasDecember27, but in 1886,GrandCommanderPike in his eloquentAllocutionspokedirectlyto the issueandrevealedthat all soundevidencepoints toan earlier date for the feast. He declaredthat “The 15thday of Tisri [Tishri], whichgenerallybeginsin September,should be the FeastDay of the PerfectElus.”

The SupremeCouncil immediately acceptedthis posi-tion andfixed the feastday of the Lodgesof Perfectionas“the 15thday of theHebrewmonth of Tishri, the day ofthededicationof thefirst Temple.” Thelaws of 1905 andlater Statutestacitly acceptedthis dateandthe Brethrengatheredeachfall to sharein afraternalreflectionin cele-brationof thatfirstTempleandits significancethroughoutMasonichistory andritual.

No feast day in the ScottishRite of Freemasonryhasever hador everwill have greatersignificancethan theFeastof Tishri. It is the symboliccornerstoneof our Rite.It forms the centralthemeof mostof our degrees.It is thefeastof feastsin Freemasonry.To understandthe FeastofTishri and its symbolic significanceto the Scottish Rite,

56 57

pastandpresent,is to touchthe “deepmeaning,” the veryheartafid soul of our Fraternity.

A Templeof Spirit andStone

The first Feastof Tishri wasthe culminationof oneofthe greatestarchitectural achievementsman ever con-ceivedor God inspired. It climaxedmany long years ofhard labor and was the fullfillment of the Lord’s directcommandgiven to King David, the “Warrior King” ofIsrael. By the tenthcenturybeforeChrist, David hadsub-dued his people’senemies.His handheld victory, but hehadwon triumphwith the sword. The Lord God of Israelsaid to him:

“Thou hastshedblood abundantly,andhastmadegreat wars: thou shalt not build an houseunto myname,becausethou hastshedmuch blood upon theearthin my sight. Behold,asonshallbe born to thee,who shall be a man of rest;and I will give him restfrom all his enemiesroundabout: for hisnameshallbe Solomon,andI will give peaceandquietnessuntoIsrael in his days. He shall build an housefor myname.

So it came to Solomon, whosenamemeanspeace,tobuild the first Hebrew Temple in Jerusalem.What aresponsibility for so young a man! He ascendedto thethroneabout977B.C. To him wasgiven this greattask: tosustain a nation basedon peaceand to build a templefounded on love. With his own handshe laid the cor-

55

nerstone.Following the visions which the Temple’s truebuilder,The GreatArchitectof theUniverse,gavehim, hesketchedits symbolic dimensionsandplannedits impres-sive decorations.He set its famous pillars, Jachin andBoaz, asmagnificentindependentcolumnsat theTemple’sentrance,andhe saw to it that the interior was heavilyoverlaid with an abundanceof glistening gold. Thoughmodestin overall size, the Temple’smassivesubstructure,formedaboutamountain, lifted it high aboveall thesur-roundingbuildingsandtemplesmaking it the focal pointof ancientJerusalemand awonder to all who viewed it

The Liturgy of the FourteenthDegreesays that “theTemple.. . [was] completedin theyear3,000,six yearssixmonthsandtendaysafterKing Solomonhadlaid the firststone.” Using the modern calendar, the date would beabout966 B.C., but the Templestoodemptyfor nearly awholeyearbecauseit wasthe will of God that the dedica-tion take place during the month of Abraham’sbirth. Inthis way the Temple’s dedication would be a doublethanksgiving, a tribute to Abraham who guided theHebrews,a peopleoppressedandat war, anda tribute toSolomonwho brought Israel to nationhoodand peacewith prosperity.His wisdom, brotherhoodandlovemadeSolomon famous throughout the ancient world, and inthis first Temple theseidealswere realizedin living rock,fine timber andpreciousgold.

The Temple’sMystic Communication

In manywaysthededicationof the Templeof Solomonis acelebrationof freedom.It marksthebirth of Abrahamwhosespirit of independencesustainedthe tribesof Israelduring their generationsof bondageand suffering. KingSolomon’sdedicationof theTempleis alsothefinal stepinthe formation of Israel for the first time as a sovereignentity, a secureandprospei~ousnation at peaceamongnations.Appropriately, thededicationcoincidedwith thefirst day of the Feastof Tabernacles,a “most holy andsolemnFeast,”Josephustheancienthistoriantells us,keptby the Hebrewsbeginningon the15thdayof themonthofTishri.

Thisgreatfeastrememberedthe Exodusfrom Egypt, theland of slavery. It recalledthe sojourn in the wildernesswhen the fleeing peoplelived in makeshifttents. It com-memoratedthe generationsof wanderingandstruggle.Itcelebratedthe freedomof the PromisedLand. The peoplewould go to the fields, erect tentsas their ancestorshad,andthen decoratethe tents with the fruits of autumn’sharvest. Philo of Alexandra said of the custom, “afterreceiving the perfectionof all the fruits of the year, it isbecoming to give thanks to the Being that madethemperfect.”

On thatmostmemorableof dayswhenthe Templewasdedicated,whatmusthavebeenthe joy of thechildren ofIsrael as they gatheredin Jerusalem!Solomonhad calledthem from everypart of the land. The Templehadbeendecoratedin keepingwith the solemnity of the occasion.Great numbersof musicians andsingerssang of God’sglory andmercy.White-robedpriestsformedagrandpro-

cession.Theyboreon their shoulderstheArk of theCove-nant, the Holy of Holies, thesymbolof God’sprovidenceandIsrael’s salvation.

With utmostreverence,the Ark wasplacedin theTem-ple’s most sacredquarter,the Cubical Room. At last, insymbol and in fact, Israel wasfree. Comingas it did dur-ing the autumnalequinox, the dedicationof King Solo-mon’s Temple and the Feast of Tishri marked the richmaterial and spiritual harvest brought to the people ofIsraelandthroughextension,to all menwho fulfill thewillof God. Solomonknew, however, that there would befuture trials, awinter of testing to follow this autumnofattainment.In order to assurethat the lessonsof this Feastof Tishri neverbe forgotten, Solomonchose 25 superiorElus (Brethren)andbrought them to asecretvault wherehe conferredon them the fruits of his wisdom.

We in the ScottishRite representthis transferor confer-ral of hierarchicknowledgein the Degreeof the PerfectElu. HereeachBrotheris instructedon theconstructionofthe perfectspiritual temple,an inneredifice of virtue andbrotherhoodthat rivals the material splendorof the out-wardTemple.The Degreeof PerfectElu wasconferredonthesechosenbrethren,and eachsharedin thewisdom ofSolomon.Eachpledgedto live in peaceandharmonywithhis fellow man. Each dedicatedhimself to be a templebuilder within himself andamongall men.

It is from thatmomentof mystic communicationnearly3,000yearsago that the ScottishRite derives its original

impetus. Since then countlessgenerationsof Brethren inthe Rite~havekeptalive the sacredspirit of freedomanditseternallights of truth and knowledge.Dedicatedto fightall tyranny and to preserveall virtue, Brothers havelabored,as did the first buildersof Solomon’sTemple, tobe worthy of theglory of Freemasonry.Our taskbeganinthe dim reachesof time, but our dedication today is asfirm andour courageas strong as that of those heirs ofSolomonin thatmagnificentTempleon that historicFeastof Tishri nearly three millenia ago. As Scottish RiteFreemasons,we are all heirs of Solomon.Let us remainworthy of this inheritanceof freedom.

Maundy Thursday

An Overview of theDay

“A new commandmentI give untoyou, That ye loveoneanother.”[John13: 34] Thesearethewordsof JesusofNazareth,wordsspokenashe broke breadwith hisDisci-ples. They are simple words. Yet they expressthe mostsublimetruth: all menare brothers.We shareoneoriginand onecommon obligation. The GreatTeacherin thisonemandaturn novurn, NewCommandment,summarizedthehighestwisdomof all ages.Heknewhis timewasnear,that in afew hourshe would bebetrayed,humiliatedandcrucified. Despite this knowledge, he loved and taughtlove as the one absoluterule that can measurelife.

In commemoration of this truth and of its centralrelevanceto the Scottish Rite, all Rose Croix ChaptersobserveMaundyThursday(its name,acorruptionof the

A

Latin word rnandaturn—commandment)on the middleday of Holy Week. It has beencalled, variously, “HolyThursday,” “The Day of the Supperof the Lord,” “TheDay of Mysteries.” Traditionally, the Christian worldfixes it usingthe dateof EasterSunday,which is the firstSunday after the full moon which happenson or afterMarch 21, the vernal equinox. Also traditionally, Free-masonryhas rememberedthis specialday, andBrethrenhavegatheredthroughouttheworld to reaffirm their faithin the universalfraternity of mankind. The first writtenrecord of such observanceis a ritual of the EighteenthDegreeCharlesdeLadebatpreparedandpublishedin 1856in New Orleans.The Code of Statutesadoptedin 1866lists MaundyThursdayasafeastday, andasof 1878, theStatutesindicatedits observanceas obligatory. So it hasremainedeversincein theMother Jurisdiction. So it mayeverremain.

The wordsof MaundyThursdayspeakto theheartsandminds of all men. But words alone do not suffice. TheGreatMastermatchedhis words to acts.He knelt beforeeachof his Disciplesandwashedthefeet of eachas an actof total humility and love. In this symbolic act of self-sacrifice andservice,the messagetook on practical form.The truthwasgiven substance.Intentionwithout actionisof little use.

On Maundy Thursday,Jesusspokethe truth andlivedits words.So we of the ScottishRite in observingMaundyThursdayhonorits messageandrecommitourselvesto itsfulfillment. Fraternally, we love one another, and weextendthatNew CommandmenttheGreatMastergavetoall mankind, everywhere,at all times.This is the meaningof MaundyThursday.This is the messageof Masonry.

Tenebrae

Light-dark. Good-evil.Life-death. Hope-fear.Theseare the polar oppo-sitesof life. They representthe endsof thespectrumofexistence.In their dynamicjuxtaposition,their eternalcombat,we can see life asa creative, developingforce. “More light!” These,the last words of the greatpoet Goethe, representthephilosophyof ScottishRite Freemasonry.We seekmorelight. Even when faced with the darkest of times, withapparentdeath itself, we know that light and life willtriumph, that the myriad demonsof ignorance,prejudiceand hatred cannot overcomethe forces of knowledge,fraternity and love. The dawnwill come. “That was thetrue Light, which lighteth everymanthat comethinto theworld.” [John 1: 9] It will nevergo out.

Theseare the conceptsrepresentedin our ancientritualof Tenebrae,the “Extinguishing of Lights.” One by one,we see the candlesquenched.Bit by bit, the darknessgathers. Evil strengthens.The forces of chaos cometogether.Despairloomsandseemsto triumph as the lastlight disappears.We are cast into utter darkness.Thereseemsno hope,no salvation,no rekindling of life possible.

Then, miraculously, the splinter of light shatters thedarkness.It flickers.It seemsto vanish.Thenit glowswitha renewedbrilliance, all thebrighterit seemsfor sheddingits beamsin total darkness.Feedingupon hopeandcour-age and compassion,it flares forth reigniting the candles

Darknessmust yield to light. Tyrannywill fallto freedom.Orderandtruth will everconquerchaosandconfusion.

Passover

Throughritual we defineourselves.We join, in ameansdeeperthanwords, in asharedtradition. Whetherwe arein a ritual or only observingit weact ourbeliefs, andin sodoing webecomewhat we believe.This is true of the Jew-ish Passover,a covenantmeal wherebya peoplecreateditself andcontinuesto defineitself. Theritual’s roastlamb,bitter herbs and unleavenedbread commemoratetheExodusfrom Egypt. Mosesforewarnedto let the Hebrewpeoplego. The Pharaohof Egypt endurednine plaguesthatdevastatedtheland, yet he was stubborn.He deniedIsrael’scry for freedom.Then camethe tenthplague.

The Angel of the Lord struck down the firstborn ofevery Egyptianfamily, including that of thePharaohhim-self, but the Angel “passedover” the homesof the childrenof Moses.They hadplaceda ritual lamb’s blood on thedoorpostsand lintels of their homesas a token of their~1~ *

65 69

fidelity to Jehovah.Crushed,Pharaohgaveordersfor theHebrews to leave—andquickly. They did, pausingonlylong enoughto eathurriedlythe hastyritual mealtheyhadprepared.

Through the timeless prism of history and myth, thePassoverritual givesperspectiveto currentsituations.Thepeopleof Israelrecall in it thebondageof Egypt, the flightto the PromisedLandandtheir unendingbattle to securefreedom. In the Passover,we seea reaffirmation of the

covenantbetweenGod and man, a reinstatementof theprinciple that all menmustbe free andthat theywill havedivine sustenancein this effort.

The Passoveris a religiouscelebration,the “feast of allfeasts,”for Jewishsociety. It is alsoasymbolicstatementfor all mankind. In the Passoverritual we see hoperewarded,persecutionovercome,hardshipenduredandfreedomwon. Physicalandspiritual liberty arevictorious.Tyranny is overthrown.With God’s helpandwith unfail-ing faith in this divine guidance,all mencan look to theshininglight on themountainsof humandignity andfree-dom.The Passoverpromisesescapefrom theland of dark-nessandbondage—nomatterwhat the clime or time—toall men. It is this essentialthemethatbinds the ScottishRite of Freemasonryso closely to this greatestof Jewishfeasts,the Passover.

JamshedjiNauroz

The ScottishRite of Freemasonrytakesproperpride intracing its origins back to the Medieval Ages, and intoantiquity. The ancientwisdom of Pythagorasis as rele-vant as the mysteriesof Dionysusandthe annalsof KingSolomon.In fact, the taprootof theCraft goesdeeperstillto thevery oldestof culturesandreligions—Parseeism,orthe Fire Worship of PersiaandIndia.

It is no merecoincidencethat the Parseefestival namedJamshedjiNaurozoccurson the 21st day of March, thevernal equinox. King Jamshedji,the secondmonarchof

71

Israelites Passing Over he Red Sea—FugelPhotography by H Armstrong Roberts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

the old PeshdadianDynastywhich lasted700years,intro-duced the solar calendarto his peopleand declaredthefirst dayof the vernalequinoxafestival bearinghis name.This decisioncorrespondedwith aPersiantradition thatthe world was createdat the vernal equinox, the world’soriginal creationbeingechoedin theannualrebirth of lifeas springsetsin. The seasonalchangefrom dormancytogrowth reflectsadeeperphilosophicalprinciplewhichsug-gests that theseceremoniesanddiscoveriesof JamshedjiNaurozhadaMasonicderivation.

The religiousbasisof ParseeFireWorshipis Zoroastriandogma.Zoroastrianismrests on an absolutedistinctionbetweenlight and dark, good and evil, truth andfalse-hood.Thereis no moralor metaphysicalrelativism to blur

e edgesof moral categories.The believer is taught toclearly betweenright and wrong, embracingdistinguish

e first and abhorring the last. He is enjoined to seekght and to shundarkness,everto nurturein himself the

spiritual and beneficial while shedding gross materialinterestsanddesires:

The feastof JamshedjiNauroz, takingplaceat the ver-nalequinoxandplacingsuchstresson a dualistic interpre-tation of life, is definitely Masonic in character. Itsphilosophy complements the ideals of the Craft andrevealshow fundamentaland timeless the principles ofFreemasonryare to all humanity.

Conclusion

Christian, Jew, Parsee—eachkeeps the festival of thevernalequinox in his own mannerwhetherit is the obser-vation of Holy Thursday, the Passover,or JamshedjiNauroz. Each event—appropriateto its special signifi-cance—is combined in the Mystic Banquet which theBrethrenof the ScottishRite celebrateon MaundyThurs-day. Here the Rite commemoratesthe dignity anddivineorigin of man. It seesthe essentialtruth which structureseachritual. In the diversity of image,placeanddetail thateachobservanceaffords, the Rite brings into clearfocusthe elementallessonof rebirth, freedomandfraternity.

The ParseeJamshedjiNauroz teachesus everto valuetruth and virtue. The Jewish Passoverunderlines thealliancebetweenmanandGod, acovenantbuilt on free-domanddedicatedto liberatingmanfrom all dominationwhateverits form may be. The ChristianHoly Thursdaybrings us the absolute,New Commandment:“love oneanother.”The ScottishRite observanceof MaundyThurs-dayis like amighty river into whichmany streamsfeed.Itcombinesthe strengthsof eachtributarymaking the con-fluenceinto oneclearchannelof faith andaction. Refinedfrom age to ageandcountry to country, theoneMasonicmessagecomes to us in the Craft and Natureherselfsounderlines.

Each observanceis at or near March 21, the vernalequinox. As the earthbrings forth life, thesespecialdayspoint to man’s spiritual rebirth. Each promisesthat thervlystic Questfor the Lost Word will meetwith success.Man will find a reality that is seenwith morethaneyes.In

74

the midst of life’s fleeting shadows,theserituals shedabright light that revealsanabidinghope,a sustainingcon-fidence in man’s innateability to be reborn.

Like nature in spring, we can shed the burdensomewinter of selfishmaterialismandspiritual decay.We canbring forth new fruits of personalandcommunalaccom-plishment.Man is apart of natureandmadewith the samehandthatbroughtlight andshapeto anearthwhich “waswithout form and void.” [Genesis 1: 2] Both natureandmanareimagesof God; bothcamefrom the divineplan ofThe GreatArchitect of the Universe.The ScottishRite ofFreemasonryhas embodiedthis truth in Maundy Thurs-day, a ritual that fuses the great religions of man into asingle unified statementof divine purposeand humancapability. Let us join in this observance,a sublimecelebrationof light, freedomandFraternity.

It is hard to conceive of any ritual morebeautifulandinspiring or anyceremonyin Masonrymoresoul-stirring andprofound, than our Maundy ThursdayService, which includes theTenebrae(Extinguishingthe Lights) andtheFeastof the PaschalLamb, or as itis often called, The Mystic Banquet,or FeastObliga-tory. To our JewishBrethrenit signifies the Feastofthe Passover,which is an annual reminder of thepricelessheritageof freedomandacall to struggleforit by eternalvigilance. To our Christian Brethren it

signifies the Last Supper Jesus and His Disciplesattendedto celebratethis ancientfestival, after whichtherefollowed His deathandresurrection.

The Passoverwas a festival instituted to com-memorate Jehovah’s “passing over” the Israelitehouseswhile “passingthrough”thoseof theEgyptiansin order to destroythem.In the earlyhistory of thesecelebrationsa lambwithout blemishwas takenon thelath andkilled on the14thday of the HebrewmonthAbib, which occurredat the springof the year.Theblood of the lamb was to be sprinkledon the two sidepostsand the upper door post, and the flesh eatenwith unleavenedbread and bitter herbs before themorning. Jehovah,passing over the blood staineddoors, slew the first born in the Egyptianhousesnotsimilarly protected.St. Paul likens the PaschalFeastto the resurrectionof Christ, but no matterwhat theinterpretation,in Masonry it has no creedalsignifi-cance.To our Brethrenof the RoseCroix it is knownas the Mystic Banquet,and it is obligatoryfor everyKnight Rose Croix, on Maundy Thursday, to breakbread with a Brother and partake of a portion ofroastedlamb.This beautifulCeremonyis but another

method of bringing to our minds those greatmoraltruths with which we already have been indoc-trinated. It is in that spirit that we assemble,asMasonsandasBrethren,boundwith solemnties andno thoughtof any particularcreedor religion.

Our Illustrious Sovereign Grand Commander,Henry C. Clausen,330, hascommentedto me thatinat least oneValley in ourOrient, wherethe membershad gatheredfor dinner prior to the CeremonyofExtinguishingthe Lights, referenceto the Mystic Ban-quetwas completelyomitted andno referencewasmadeat that timeor afterwardto the symbols.Thesesymbols, which should be explainedto the Knightsattendingthe Ceremonies,are as follows:

1. The Matzo, or unleavenedbread, also calledbreadof affliction. It is symbolic of the breadwhich the Hebrewsmadewhentheyhastily leftEgypt, becausetheydid nothaveenoughtimetoallow their doughto leaven.The Matzo is themost importantsymbol of the Passover.

2. The Moror or bitter herb (representedwith asmallsliceof horseradish),symbolicof thehard-ships which the Israelites enduredwhen theywere slavesin Egypt.

3. The Haroses, a kind of paste of apples,nuts,andraisins,symbolicof themortarthe Israelitesusedwhen they were slavesin theconstructionfor thePharaohof the treasurecities PithomandRamses.

4. TheShankBone,aroastedbonesymbolicof the.PaschalLamb that was sacrificedandeatenoneve of the Passover.

5. The Hard Boiled Egg, symbolic of life andthespringtimewhennaturerenewslife.

6. The Four Cupsof Wine(to be substitutedwithgrapejuice), commemoratingthe four promisesmadeby God to Mosesto redeemthe [sraelitesandbring them out of bondage.

An explanationof thesesymbolsof the Mystic Banquetgives the Ceremonymuch of its true meaning.

The distributionof this [memorandum I hadmy approv-al and the concurrenceof the Committeeon Rituals andCeremonialForms.

You arecautioned,however,that the preceedingexpla-nation is not ritualistic andhenceshouldnot be includedassuchin anyCeremony;also, that it is not permissibletosubstitutean actual banquetfor the Mystic Banquet. Adinner precedingthe Ceremonyis appropriate.Seereportof the Committee on Rituals and Ceremonial Forms,TRANSACTIONS 1947, page294 in part readsas follows:

It is difficult for usto makea rule thatshould befollowed in all the Bodies,becausein someValleys,memberstravel a long distanceto attendthe Ser-vices, and a dinnerprecedingthe Maundy Thurs-day Service is found desirable. We think theyshouldnot, at this time, be forbidden.In the largerValleys no problemarises becauseof the old cus-tom of havinga repastprior to the Service.But, wefind that they do not distract seriously from thespirit and intention of the Maundy ThursdaySer-vice.

OFFICIANT All mankind is quiet in the presenceofdeath. Its solemn presencereminds allthat life is short; thatwe shouldnot wastethe preciousdays in petty quarrels andunworthy acts. This Rosy Cross [Motion-

ingl, so meaningful to members of theScottish Rite, adjuresus to forgive thewrong and cast away the animosity for-ever, that our Father,who is in Heaven,mayforgive usour debtsand trespassesasHe forgives thoseof our dearBrother.

The memoriesandexamplesof the goodand true Knights who leave us theselegacies are the precious treasures ofMasonry.Our praisesof themoughtto bepreservedlike laurels and coronets torewardandencouragethenoblestthings,andit is an office andchargeof humanityto speakno evil of the departed.Promisesmadeto them are inviolable oaths.Withthis symbolof the RosyCrosslMotomngl,all the Brethrenof thedepartedherepres-ent, do solemnlypromiseto speakhere-after only of the virtuesand excellenciesof him whosebody lies herebefore me.

What we do for the departedor for theliving, for their sakes,is gratitudeandvir-tue for virtue’s sakeandthenoblestpor-tion of humanity. Therefore, we do, bythis symbol of the Rosy Cross,solemnly

124 125

give to him, whosebody lies herebeforeus, our pledge that we will endeavortocomfort those whom he has left behindwho were near anddearto him; that wewill consolethem in their sorrowandper-form in their behalf all the duties ofMasons, Brethren and Knights of theRosyCross,expectingGodto exactof usthe due performance of this solemnpledge.

At this point, theOfficiant turnsover the podiumto the Brother selectedto deliver the eulogy ordelivers it himself.l

May we not forget the lessonstaughtus,but remembering the uncertainties ofhuman life and the little value of thosethingswhich menmost strive for; maywemost earnestlyendeavorto obeythe lawsof God, avoid dissensions,hatreds,andrevenges,and labor to do good to ourfellow man. May we be true andfaithfulandlive anddie loving our Brethren.

May the relativesof our Brother be con-soled in their great sorrow andsustainedin all the trials andhardshipsthey mayencounterin thisworld. OurBrothershalllive again! He is not dead,but liveth andhathreturnedto God, his Father.

OFFICIANT Out of theutter darknessof unconscious-ness,we emergeinto the light of this life,borrow abody from the elements,fret ourbrief hour away,andvanish.

The soul, like a bird, flies in at onewin-dow of thehall, flits quickly acrossit, andflies throughanotherinto outerdarkness.Intowhatstateit departsis not given ustoknow. It returnsnot to communewith us.We only know that we are, soit still is, inthe handsof God, who invites us to callhim our Fatherandto trust in His mercyand loving kindness.

Surely, to His keepingwe maybe contentto trust our friend andBrother, knowing

that thedivine soul is subjectto no law ofdestructionor dissolution but returns tothe Infinite from whenceit came.

Nor is our Brother wholly gonefrom ushere below: His influences survive, thethoughtshe utteredstill live andtheeffectof his action andexertioncanneverceasewhile the universecontinuesto exist. Hestill lives a real life in the thoughts,thefeelings and the affections of thosewhoknew and lovedhim.

While, therefore, Nature will have herway, andour tearswill drop uponhis cof-fin in sorrow for his departureand ourownloss, let it comfortusto reflect that it

is often a greatgain to die, andthat theomniscienceof God may seem to be ablessing.His memory will not be Forgot-ten but he will be rememberedwith affec-tion andregret, especiallyby thosewholoved him andwith thewondrousgift ofmemorywe can still seewithin ushis fea-tures, hear his words and possesshisthoughts.

We gently commit the body of ourBrother to its final resting place. Giveunto him eternalrest, 0 Lord, andmaythe immortal light illumine him. Let usdevoutly entreatthe assistanceandsup-port of our Heavenly Father [BrotherPrelate].

PRELATE [OR

Our Father,under Whom we live, it haspleasedThee to take away from thisworld our beloved Brother, leavingbehind the mortal tenementwhich nowentersits final restingplace.Enlargeandincrease,0 God our Father,all his influ-encesfor good that do survivehim. Let usnot forget thelessonsdeathtaughtusbut,rememberingthe uncertaintyof life, andthe value of those things for which mendo most strive, incline us more earnestlyto endeavorto obey Thy laws, avoiddissentions,and labor to do good to ourfellow men.

Consolehisrelativesin their affliction andsustain them in all the adversities andtrials which they may haveto encounterin thisworld. And maytheyandwe, lov-ing andservingThee,andtrustingin Thyinfinite beneficience,be in Thy good timegatheredin peaceunto our fathers andagainmeetourfriend andBrother, nearerto Thy throneof glory.
