Message from the East
Dear Brothers of the Craft,
I thank all who participated in the Master Mason degree on the 22nd of January. It was a real pleasure to see the many Brothers that night taking part in Raising Brother Alamo and Brother Borruel. I know that our new Brothers appreciated the work and proficiency with which we worked.
Brothers, we all know that in order to maintain our quality of work, we must continue to study our work so we can do our work with confidence and ease. In April we will start a new cycle of degrees, so please start brushing up on the Enter Apprentice Degree, and your floor work from your study book. We have done good work in the past; I am sure that we can do better.
As I had mentioned in my February trestleboard, the foundation is in place, and it is up to us to help in the building of knowledge in Masonry. When our new Brothers are at Lodge, give them time to ask questions, and answer them the best that you can. Remember; be respectful, caring and truthful. I find that a lot can be learned from those who have more knowledge than myself. I am reminded that "that every human being has a claim upon your kind offices". Let others see you in a different light.
Fraternally, Erwin Teichmann, W.M.
