Most Worshipful Grand Master, very special guests of our Grand Lodge family,friends, and my brethren:

Another year has come and gone. We are about to begin a new masonic year. A wiseIndian philosopher once said "No one steps in the same river twice". Everythingchanges and is changing. Nothing remains the same. Our masonic family has changedfrom a year ago. Many of our brethren who were vibrant with the joys and activities oflife have silently slipped away from us. There is a time and a tide in the lives of men,said Shakespeare. Being human we do not fully understand. Being human we arenever ready for their passing. It is a bittersweet experience that we share with them inlife and death. At such times of earthly dissolution we realize our limitations and ourlack of understanding. We are frustrated by our inability to cope and to help. We wishwe could be more helpful in the continuing healing processes with which the familiesand friends are struggling. We miss these beloved ones. No one can fill their void ortake their place, because they are unique, very special, one of a kind individuals,elaborately and wonderfully made by the Great Source and Origin of All That Is to beHis sons and our brothers. We now express again our undying love for these brethrenand our gratitude and adoration to Him Who doeth all things well as we commitourselves and those dear ones into His holy keeping.

In keeping with time honored tradition in our Grand Lodge our Grand Master has setaside this time to be dedicated as a memorial to our departed brothers and to marveland be grateful for their lives and personalities. It reminds us of the grace and goodnessof the Great Overwhelming Lord God of Hosts Who so copiously pours unmeritedblessing and rich benefits on all who have eyes to see. It reminds us of the oft repeatedbiblical phrases "His loving kindness and tender mercies" and "For His loveendurethforever". We begin to see the height and depth and width and the fullness of the cry ofthe Psalmist "For the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding insteadfast love". But we must admit our loss and our pain. We must admit our honestfears and doubts. We are masons all. And as such we know that we all shall live again.We know that our Redeemer lives and that though this body shall vanish yet in ourflesh shall we see God. He has not put immortality into our hearts to mock us. Infinity,nature, and reason combine to assure us of immortality. No, my dear friends, the raceis not in vain nor does this weary pilgrimage lead to a dead end. He Who began His

10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

good and perfect work in us will complete it in due time. Of that we are certain. Weparticularly remember the families of our dear departed. We want to remain close toyou and helpful to you. This is written into the stars of our constitution and in the tabletsof the enduring marble of Freemasonry. Though our brother is not here in a narrowphysical sense he is to bound to us by cords never to be broken.

In addition to the multitude of our brothers who passed away this year the GrandLodge family suffered the following temporary losses: Bro. August Hank Lentz, Man-ager of the Masonic Temple Building for many years. R:W: Roy G. Stockton, Jr.,District Deputy Grand Master of the 18th Masonic District. R:W: S. Archie S. Evans,long time Past Grand Lecturer whose memorial will be given by R:W: Brother CliffordA. Bradley, Grand Senior Warden. M:W: Brother Fred H. Raiford, Jr., M:W: PastGrand Master, whose memorial will be given by M:W: R. L. Kleinpeter, P.G.M. M:W:Brother J. Luther Jordan, M:W: Past Grand Master, whose memorial will be given byM:W: Brother A. J. Lewis, Past Grand Master.

In concluding this memorial let us determine that in honor of the departed we willjoin hearts in the following pilgrimage ourselves: To rededicate ourselves to the highand holy principles of our craft. To seek peace on earth, goodwill to men and to pursueit endlessly, to unconditional surrender.

To respect the earth, its people, and its Maker and to be henceforth a part of thesolution and not a part of the problem toward a better life and a happier world. To loveand to help the widows and the orphans and the needy, and the helpless. Pleadingneither lack of time or want of opportunity. To these purposes we pledge ourselves.May they be our oblation in memory of our blessed dead forever!

So, until we meet again my brothers, until that blessed reunion farewell.

IN MEMORIAM

JAMES LUTHER JORDANBorn: January 23,1895 Died: March 11,1984

In the words of Charles Hanson Towne, who said:"They have triumphed who have died;They have passed the porches wide,Leading from the House of NightTo the splendid lawns of light,They have gone on that far roadLeading to their new abode,And from curtained casements weWatched their going wistfully.

They have won, for they have readThe bright secrets of the dead;And they gain the deep unknown,Hearing Life's strange undertone.In the race across the daysThey are victors and the praise,Theirs the glory and the pride,They have triumphed, having died."And so it was, that on the early morning of Sunday, March 11, 1984, the Supreme

Grand Master of heaven and earth, removed from our midst, one of Louisiana's Mighty

"It isn't the cut of the clothes you wear,Nor the stuff out of which they are made,Though chosen with taste and the greatest of careAnd it isn't the price you paid;It isn't the size of your pile in the bank,Nor the number of acres you own;It isn't a question of prestige, or rank,Nor of Muscle, nor sinew, nor bone,It isn't the servants who come at your call,It isn't the things you possess,Whether many, or little, or nothing at all,It is the Service which measures success.""Return unto thy rest, my soulFrom all the wanderings of thy thought,From sickness unto death made whole,Safe through a thousand Perils brought."

IN MEMORIAM

FRED H. RAIFORD, JR. (1922-1984)

There are stars that go out in the darknessBut whose silvery light shineth on,

There are roses whose perfume still lingersWhen the blossoms are faded and gone.

There are hearts full of light and sweetnessWhen no longer their life current flows,

Still their goodness lives on with the livingLike the souls of the star and the rose.

He was a member of the Ancient and Ac-cepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Valley of Baton Rouge, being coroneted a 33rddegree Inspector General Honorary in 1975. Additionally, he served as Secretary of allfour Scottish Rite Bodies, Baton Rouge Consistory for a period in excess of 15 years.

He was a Past Member of the Advisory Board, Order of Rainbow for Girls, havingbeen presented the Grand Cross of Color, and was also the recipient of the Legion ofHonor, Order of the DeMolay.

Having assumed the Office of Grand Master of Masons in Louisiana during anunrestful period, Fred H. Raiford, Jr. met the challenge, served the craft in a highlycommendable manner, and with a capacity not possessed by any other individual.Fred H. Raiford, Jr. was tall in stature, big of heart, a fair but firm leader, and waded intotroubled waters without fear and with but one resolution - to be of service toFreemasonry according to the dictates of the Great Architect of the Universe.

His task was made easier by a tremendous following of devoted friends but hisaccomplishments resulted mostly from a love of Masonry, extreme courage undertrying circumstances, and, most importantly, from an infectious personality whichcaused everyone who had contact with him to immediately succumb to his personalwarmth and charm.

In 1975, he inherited a most undesirable task, that of removing dissention andrestoring brotherly love. He fulfilled his task without fear of the critics and certainlynever entertained any thought as to where any credit might fall. He knew his task and,not being a timid soul, his goal was achieved and all Freemasons in this grandjurisdiction are the legatees of his achievements.

It is extremely difficult to descriptively capture in words the exceptionally outstand-ing role fulfilled by Fred H. Raiford, Jr. and to properly commit to perpetuity anadequate resume of his warm and friendly qualities. It has been written that the greatestmemorials are not made of granite or steel and that they are not created from anysubstance erodible or subject to the ravages of wind and rain.

Longfellow, perhaps wrote the most appropriate tribute in the following words:Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime,

I 14 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

And, departing, leave behind usFootprints on the sands of time.

Footprints, that perhaps another,Sailing o'er life's solemn main,

A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,Seeing, shall take heart again.

Footprints, leading from the pastTo the future.

of the Grand Lodge where he served for twenty-one years.Brother Evans was one of the strongest columns of the Masonic fraternity. In all of

these accomplishments we can see the signs that determine a great man and Mason. Aman with whom you may agree or with whom you may disagree but regardless ofwhich it might be, we must recognize that all he did was that of a man of principle. .

As we mourn the passing of this Brother, we can see the great possessions that werehis, those which make up the fullness of life which he learned at the altar. Those of thespiritual qualities of faith, hope, charity, patience and moral integrity which hasmarked his station with God, with his brethren and made him a devoted family man.

ADDRESS OF GRAND MASTER

To The Officers And Members Of The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Of The State OfLouisiana, Free and Accepted Masons:

It is my great pleasure to welcome all members of our Grand Lodge to New Orleansfor the One Hundred Seventy-Fourth Annual Communication, and to you, our mostdistinguished guests, I extend my sincere appreciation to you for being present. I trustthat your visit with us will prove to be beneficial as well as enjoyable.

Many in attendance have heard me state that I consider my election to serve as yourGrand Master to be one of the greatest honors in my life. Considering the many dutiesand responsibilities of the office which I have endeavored to fill during the past year, Ihave certainly enjoyed each moment to the fullest extent.

Aside from the fact that in several Constituent Lodges some minor disagreementshave developed, the entire year can be characterized as one of peace and harmonythroughout our Fraternity. I am of the opinion that we have made great strides inputting behind us all thoughts of regional and sectional differences within our Grandjurisdiction. It was my goal to serve as Grand Master to all Masons in Louisiana, andwhenever a visit was made to any part of the State, I found devoted members of theCraft who expressed their belief in good fellowship toward all. Thank you, one and all,for joining together in such a splendid effort. Our Fraternity can now move aheadassured of full cooperation from all members.

Each Grand Master honestly believes that he has had the very best team of individu-als he could assemble, and of course, I am no exception. I do believe that the GrandLodge Officers, the Past Grand Masters, the Board Members, the Committee Membersas wel I as the entire Grand Lodge Staff have done an exceptional job during 1984. Thesupport given to me has been truly outstanding. The Masters, Wardens, and Brethernof the Constituent Lodges have assisted in creating an atmosphere of enthusiasm and aspirit of cooperation which seems to have permeated throughout our Grand Jurisdic-tion. There is no doubt in my mind that this expression of good fellowship will growunder our new Grand Master. The many acts of kindness displayed to me, as well asthe professional manner in which all activities were handled, will always be re-membered by me with great appreciation.

Now that my tenure is completed, I offer my future services to this Grand Lodge ofMasons for whatever task you believe me capable of performing in return for thewonderful opportunity which you have extended to me during the year 1984.

To my lady, Edna, I thank you publicly for yor love and affection; and I want you toknow that I deeply appreciate not only your encouragement but also your assistance.You may now return to your club activities and golf game with my thanks for yourmany sacrifices.

If the work done this year has been helpful to Freemasonry, then we have achievedsomething. If it has not been helpful, then I shall always be disappointed that I was notcapable of better work. I do have the opinion that the response to improve things in ourGrand Lodge is an indication that some progress has been made during the year I984.1close my remarks by expressing my sincere appreciation to each and every one whomade a contribution to this effort.

Following is an accounting of the Grand Lodge activities during the past twelvemonths.


NECROLOGY

During the past year we have been saddened by the unexpected passing of two PastGrand Masters. M:W: Brother J. Luther Jordan died at Mansfield, Louisiana on MarchII, 1984. The Masonic Service was conducted by W. Brother Virgil Roby Aubrey. OnApril 5,1984 we were informed of the death of M:W: Brother Fred H. Raiford at BatonRouge, Louisiana. The Masonic Service was conducted by M:W: Brother Howard M.Sigler, P.G.M.

On Feruary 1,1984, W:Brother August H. Lentz passed to the great beyond. He wasthe manager of the Masonic Temple building for many years, and an excellent workerin our Craft.

O n August 6,1984, R:W: S. Archie Evans, Grand Lecturer Emeritus, passed away atDe Ridder, Louisiana. The funeral service was conducted by R:W: Julius W. Pool,Grand Lecturer.

On July 22,1984, R:W: Roy G. Stockton, Jr., District Deputy Grand Master of the 18thMasonic District passed away at New Orleans, Louisiana. His many years of service toMasonry wi l l be remembered.

Brothers Jordan, Raiford, Lentz, Evans and Stockton had lived fully and with distinc-tion in their every station in life. Each has left his mark in our beloved Craft.

We mourn the passing of many other Masonic brothers who have departed this earthto go to their reward. May they be granted eternal peace with the Great Architect. Anappropriate memorial service wil l be conducted by the Necrology Committee for ourdeparted brethren.

STATE OF THE ORDER

M:W: Brother James H. King, P.G.M., started his State of the Order message with aquote which read: "Masonic leadership is the art of changing a Lodge from what it is-towhat it should be." In many of the other Grand Jurisdictions there seems to exist atendency by their Masonic Leadership to maintain a status quo; however, I am proudto report to you that the Masonic leadership in the State of Louisiana does not fall intothis category. It has been said that nothing is as permanent as change, and progressdemands change. The many changes which have been made in our Grand Jurisdictionover the past several years have produced excellent results and I am of the opinion thatchanges will prove to be even more beneficial in the future.

As a result of my attendance at the Conference of Grand Masters in North America,the Southeastern Masonic Conference, several Annual Communications in sisterGrand Jurisdictions, and comparing conditions of Freemasonry in Louisiana with otherStates, I am very pleased with our status. We are making progrss and moving forward inmany of our endeavors. There seems to be a strong under-current of enthusiasmthroughout our Grand Jurisdiction, and this bodes well for our future. In addition, thisenthusiasm is a fine tribute to all Masons in our State, and especially for those who arein positions of leadership.

It has been my distinct pleasure to make many visits to the Constituent Lodges aswell s many other Masonic organizations throughout the State of Louisiana. I havebeen cordially received on each occasion, and I certainly appreciate the manycourtesies extended to me, to the Grand Lodge Officers, and to our wives.

Thank you

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS

The District Deputy Grand Masters have served us exceptionally well during mytenure as Grand Master. Several Lodges have experiencd some internal difficulties andthe Deputies involved responded in an excellent manner to assist in solving theproblems. The reports submitted to me have been a valuable asset in determining thestatus of our Craft for the year 1984.

The Advance Report submitted by M:W: Brother D. Walter Jessen, P.G.M. for theyear 1979 indicated that the selection of District Deputy Grand Masters by the"rotation" systems does not always produce the best results. He suggested that theDistrict Lodge members make their recommendation to the Grand Master based on aBrother's past services, his ability, the amount of time he has to devote to his office, andhis love of the Craft. I concur.

On behalf of the Grand Lodge and the Masons of the Grand Jurisdiction, I extendsincere congratulations to the District Deputy Grand Masters who have represented usso well this year. You have been a very valuable asset in 1984.

GRAND LECTURERS

The Grand Lecturers, R:W: Junius B. Sharp and R:W: Julius B. Pool have continuedto perform their duties in a very efficient and proficient manner during the past year.The workshops which they have conducted were excellent, and interest in proficiencyhas increased to the extent that we have signed over 250 Certificates of Proficiencyduring 1984. The Masons of the Grand Jurisdiction thank you both for your dedicationand hard work.

MASONIC HOME FOR CHILDREN AND GRAND MASTER'SHOMECOMING

The Grand Master's Homecoming was held on Sunday, May 20, 1984, and al-though the weather was inclement in many sections of Louisiana, there was a largenumber of people in attendance. The program was a great success and I extend mysincere appreciation to W: Brother Eugene F. Love, P.M.; W: Brother ClarenceFilipi,P.M.; Co-Chairmen and the entire committee for their outstanding effort inmaking the Homecoming such a success. In addition, we extend our thanks to Dr. J.D.Scott for his inspiring message.

The Order of the Eastern Star held its Annual Pilgrimage to the Masonic Home onSunday, September 23, 1984. Due to a conflict in schedule I was unable to attend;however, R:W: Ray W. Burgess, Deputy Grand Master represented the Grand Lodge atthis program. The Order of the Eastern Star has always supported our Masonic Homefor Children and we sincerely appreciate this generous assistance.

Brother Harold Moye, Superintendent of the Masonic Home, and his staff continueto give dedicated and devoted service to our children. We are all indebted to them forthe guidance and direction given to our children.

SOUTHEASTERN MASONIC CONFERENCE

The Southeastern Masonic Conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia with the GrandLodge of George as the host Grand Lodge and many of our officers attended, namelyM:W: Grand Master James M. Walley, R:W: Ray W. Burgess, Deputy Grand Master,R:W: Clifford A Bradley, Grand Senior Warden, R:W: Lewis J. Faciane, Grand JuniorWarden, W: Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., Grand Senior Deacon, W: Larry J. Plaisance,Grand Marshall, W: John Gazave, Grand Tyler, W: Evans M. Ballard, Grand JuniorDeacon, along with Past Grand Master, E. R. Minchew, W: Malcolm A. Ballard, GrandPhotographer, Thomas A. Wilson, Chairman, Masonic Education Comm., and yourstruly Delwin P. Laguens, Grand Secretary.

COMMISSION CARDS AND CERTIFICATES

Commission cards and certificates are authorized to be issued to all elected andappointed officers as well as committeemen and holders of proficiency certificates,indicating their election or appointment as such. This was done in the early part of theyear.

TWENTY—FIVE AND FIFTY YEAR CERTIFICATES

The Grand Lodge is authorized to issue twenty-five and fifty year membershipcertificates to all members in good standing in Lodges of our jurisdiction when theyhave attained twenty-five or fifty years accumulative, but not necessarily continuousgood standing in the Masonic Fraternity. No such certificate will be predated to permitpremature presentation. These certificates are prepared by the Grand Lodge Office,based on the computer run, which we receive and issue tothe various Lodges. This pastyear we prepared 91 fifty year certificates and 1448 twenty-five year certificates.

CENTENNIAL PLAQUES

There were no centennial plaques issued this year.

DATA PROCESSING

Our computer system is working quite well. The majority of our programs thathave been written have given us very reliable reports throughout the year.

The coding of monthly reports and the delays in sending in the same by theSecretaries continues to be the heaviest workload for our office. It is essential thatLodge Officers also take an interest in seeing that these reports are submitted on timeso that we can correct the machine produced rosters sent to each Lodge in January ofeach year.

List of suspensions and expulsions are sent to each District Lodge in the State andother Masonic Bodies for their review.

In order for dues cards to show P.M., Sr., Jr., or III in the proper place, it will benecessary for the Secretary of each Lodge to go through his own roster and make thecorrections on a "Correction or Change of Name" form. This way, when the duescards are prepared this information will appear in the right place on the card, afterthe name.

It would be a tremendous help if all Secretaries would make a special effort toreview their rosters and send them back to us with all corrections. We hope everyonewill understand and will help us to improve our programming.


TAXESFORM 990-ANNUAL INFORMATION RETURN

All Lodges are reminded that the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. & A.M.and its constituent Lodges are exempt from the payment of income tax. However,under the provisions of the tax reform act of 1969, Lodges are now required to fileannual information return Form No. 990, "Return of Organization Exempt fromIncome Tax". Since the enactment of the tax reform act of 1969, the IRS now considersthis transition period to be over, and the penalties for failure to file Form 990 on therequired due dates, which is May 15,1985 is $10.00 per day for each day the report islate up to a maximum of $5,000.00. Lodges with gross receipts of less than $25,000.00may simply state on the face of Form No. 990; Gross Receipts Tax includes all incomeform every source, including dues, degree fees, rents, royalties, interest, dividends,donation, and building fund contribution. The May 15th due date is for Lodges usingcalender year accounting periods, that is January 1st through December 31st inclu-sive. All of our Lodges in this state use this period. The IRS does not automatically mailforms to the Lodges. It is the responsibi I ity for the Lodge to secure form and prepare andsend it. Generally, after one Form No. 990 is filed, a form is automatically mailed to thelodge each year. Returns should be mailed to the Internal Revenue Service, Austin,Texas 73301. Our Lodges are exempt from tax under Section 501(0(10) of theInternal Revenue Code.

In addition to the above, the G.E.N. or Group Exemption Number of the GrandLodge is 0144 and should be shown on any of the Form 990's completed by theLodge.

The original group exemption Letter was dated October 5, 1940.

EMPLOYMENT TAXES

Exemption from income tax does not relieve the Lodge from liability for SocialSecurity Taxes or other applicable employment taxes are required.

Smaller Lodges who employ a Secretary or any other employee not in a full timecapacity and who either remit his dues and/or pay him a token salary would notgenerally be liable for employment taxes, unless such salary is $50 or more in acalendar quarter.

Larger Lodges employing a Secretary or any other employee at a larger salary areliablefor Social Security on his wages. Such taxes should be forwarded to the InternalRevenue Service each Quarter on Form 941. Federal and State Unemployment Taxmust also be paid.

You are reminded that social security taxes are 6.70 percent. In addition, federalunemployment tax is .8 percent and state unemployment tax rate should be furnishedby the State Office.

STATE AND LOCAL SALES TAX

Lodges are not exempt from payment of State and Local Sales Tax on their purchases.Lodges do hot collect any taxes or make any reports concerning sales tax, however,exemption from income tax does not apply to sales tax.

HANDBOOK OF MASONIC LAW

The revisions for 1984 were published as approved. Each Constituent Lodge and


Grand Lodge officers received a copy and many individuals has purchased same. Theyare available from our Masonic Service Committee for $1.25, plus postage.

MASONIC DIRECTORY

The annual Masonic Directory was published and will continue to be published inthe future. It contains the list of Lodges in various arrangements for reference purposes.It also contains the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Masters and Secretaries,plus meeting nights and locations; and the Committee and Boards of the Grand Lodge.One copy is furnished initially to Lodges and additional copies may be purchased for$2.50 plus postage.

The Lodge Secretary and Worshipful Master should review the line entry for his ownLodge and be assured we have printed it correctly. Remember this information comesfrom your Officers Sheets which you submit at the beginning of the year.

APPRECIATION

As in the past years, I am indebted to our Grand Lodge Office Staff, Mrs. Anna BelKelley, Mrs.Mary Crouch, Mrs.Marion Rosenzweig, and Brother Dave Walsdorf,Bookkeeper, for the fine service they render to our Grand Lodge. I also extend mythanks to the Committeemen and Officers of the Grand Lodge for their assistance andcooperation during the year.

Receipts for 1984 were $7,615.91 above the budget youapproved and disbursements were $7,815.22 below budget. Theseare unaudited figures, but should change very little.

The 1985 budget is presented for your consideration andapproval. Expenditures proposed in this budget are $4,810below those of the 1984 budget. Budget for stationery andprinting was increased $1500 for 1985. This increase is dueto itineraries of all Grand Lodge line officers being sentout each month.

It is necessary that the present Grand Lodge van betraded on a new van. This is a capital item and is notincluded in the 1985 operating budget. The new van will be paidfor with surplus funds from past years.

To The Officers And Members

The Grand Lodge Of The State Of Louisiana,F. & A. M.

We have examined the combined balance sheet of THE GRAND LODGE OF THE

STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A. H., comprised of the MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING, the

MA.SONIC CEMETERY, the GFAND LODGE OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A. M., the

PARAPHERNALIA and LODGE EQUIPMENT DEPARTMENT, the BOARD OF CHARITIES AND

BENEVOLENCE, the SPECIAL PURPOSE FUND, the LOUISIANA FREEMiSON, the WORLD'S

FAIR ACTIVITIES FUND and the STATUE OF LIBERTY FUND at December 31, 1984 and

the related statements of operations and changes in financial position for the

year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally

accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the

accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered

necessary in the circumstances.

In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly

the financial position of the Grand Lodge Of The State Of Louisiana, F. & A. M.

at December 31, 1984, and the results of its operations and the changes in its

financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with generally

accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the

preceding year.

We also examined the statement of receipts and expenditures of the Board

Of Charities And Benevolence, the Special Purpose Fund, the 1984 Worlds Fair


Activities Fund and the Statue Of Liberty Fund for the year ended December 31,

1984.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of receipts and expenditures

of the Board Of Charities And Benevolence, the Special Purpose Fund, the 1984

Worlds Fair Activities Fund and the Statue Of Liberty Fund for the year ended

December 31, 1984 presents fairly the cash transactions arising during the year

then ended, on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Our examination was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the

basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying schedules C-l,

C-2, C-3, D-l, D-2, £-1, E-2, E-3, G-l and G-2 are presented for purposes of

additional analysis and are not a required part of the basis financial state-

ments. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied

in the examination of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion is

fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial

statements taken as a whole.

To the Board of Trustees of

Grand Lodge of Louisiana, F.& A.M.

We have examined the balance sheet of Masonic Home for Children of the GrandLodge of Louisiana, F.& A.M., as of November 30, 1984, and the related statementsof revenue, expense, transfers, and changes in fund balance for the year thenended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditingstandards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and suchother auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

Adequate records are not available to satisfy ourselves as to the historical cost

of certain fixed assets acquired prior to December 1, 1972. Most of these assets

were acquired from 1922 to 1960. It was not practical to extend audit procedures

to enable us to express an opinion of the fair presentation of fixed assets on

the balance sheet. •

Except as noted in the preceding paragraph, in our opinion, the financial stace-aents referred to above present fairly the financial position of Masonic Hone forChildren of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, F.& A.M., as of November 30, 1984, andthe results of its operations and changes in fund balance for the year then endedin conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basisconsistent with that of the preceding year..

REPORT OF GRAND LECTURER JUNIUS B. SHARP

My Brethren:

In this report I am reporting not only my activitiesduring the past year; I am giving you a brief summary of myefforts toward Improving the ritualistic work of our GrandJurisdiction during the thirty-six years I have served as oneof your Grand Lecturers.

During the past twelve months I hav^ taught the workas usual. All the lodges in my normal Jurisdiction have beenvisited—some individually and eome In groups. Most lodgeshave been afforded the opportunity of at least two visits.More than 150 Certificates have been issued tc this date.Quite a number of Educational Workshops were conducted duringthe year, with good attendance In most cases.

I was first elected Grand Lecturer in 19^9. Afterstudying the ritual the two Grand Lecturers saw the need fora number of clarifications, so we met with thD Permanent Com-mittee on Work and the Grand Master and had a very rewardingsession.

In Iy52 I was the only Grand Lecturer for the greaterpart of the year. The Grand Lodge sent ate as an observer tothe annual meeting of the Mid West Education Association heldin Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This was a real educational experiencefor me as a young Grand Lecturer. I taught the work over theentire State in 1952, but before visiting the South Louisianalodges I met with the Committee on Work, with Brother JohnBurgess as chairman, and we agreed on all floor movements notalready covered in the ritual. We continued working togetherand, in 1953 when Brother Burgess was elected Grand Lecturer,he was my guest for several days while we held meetings andexemplified all the floor work to his satisfaction and nine.The degree work as the Grand Lecturers were teaching It wasapproved by the Grand Lodge at the 1954 annual Grand Communi-cation. Since that time I have consistently taught this GrandLodge-approved work to the best cf my ability. All floor move-ments are laid out in the ritual, there for anyone to follow.

1953 was a busy year for Brother Burgescs and me. Wedevised the plural language for taklr.g two or more candidatesat a time in the Fellow Craft and Master Mason degrees. Thiswork was subsequently approved by Grand Lodge. 'We requestedand received copies of Masonic lectures from all over theState. These had to be edited and In aoir.e cases re-written,and we published the first edition of the little MasonicLectures booklet. It has been lcproved and added to fro re timeto time, and has been an Invaluable idjunct In the conferring


and enhancing of our degrees. During this year of 1953 BrotherBurgess and I revised the Louisiana Monitor. This was a monu-mental task and we were gratified that this work was well-received by the brethren.

In 1964 the Grand Lecturers assisted in preparingcopy for the first Issue of the Educational Bulletin. It wasmy pleasure to contribute several articles for this much-needed booklet.

In 1973 I was elected, along with several others, bythe Grand Lodge to re-write the Handbook of Law. I spentmany hourB, days in fact, on this project, but it was a laborof love because I was working with Brother Woodrow A. Downs,chairman of the committee. This Grand Lodge has been extremelyfortunate to have such an ardent and dedicated worker asWoodrow Downs.

" In 1977 I was requested by Grand Master E. R. Mlnchewto re-write the Handbook for Lodge Officers. This task wasaccomplished with the assistance of M. W. Brother L. V. Nolesand W: Cecil Franklin Easley, Jr. This booklet has been widelyused by our brethren. This same year Brother Mlnchew, BrotherThomas A. Wilson and I revised the Education Bulletin.

My Brethren, as we begin a new system of teachingthe ritualistic work, I have this observation: We have someexcellent and well-informed brethren on the Permanent Committeeon Work as well as proficient District Lecturers and Certifi-cate Lecturers, and if these brethren will work as I believethey will, we should have no problem. My promise to them andall of you is that I will do anything I can to assist them.

As I conclude my tenure of thirth-slx years as GrandLecturer I am a bit nostalgic, having come to love and respectso many of you. I covet your prayers and best wishes, and Isincerely promise that I will continually pray for you andFreemasonry In general in tthet State of Louisiana.

Until we meet again.

Cordially and fraternally,

B. Sharp, Grand Lecturer



REPORT OF BOARD OF CHARITIES AND BENEVOLENCES

Before making the report of your Board, it is the consensusof opinion of the Board that, in the interest of Masonic information,a brief review of the criteria and guide lines for re-imbursementof 50% of monies expended by the Lodges and for re-imbursement ofGrand Lodge dues and assesments should be forthcoming.

Every constituent Lodge should set aside each year not lessthan $100.00 to be used for charitable purposes. The Lodge thenmay apply to the Board for re-imbursement.

All applications must be made no later than 1 year from dateaid was granted and then to members in good standing of the Lodgemaking application, or their widows, children and orphans. This isclearly reflected in the Grand Lodge proceedings of 1977.

In the proceedings of 1983 on page 235 the Board approved amotion that ,and I auote "Whenever a Lodge waives all dues for amember who is ill, disabled, unable to work or is in a financialdifficulty, our Board will consider reimbursement of all GrandLodge dues and assessments, upon application for each member onproper form stating reasons for waiver End quote.

The key to this(my Brethren,is.will consider -as you can readilyunderstand. In no way is it intended to relieve the constituentLodges of their responsibility and if a Lodge is in it self financiallyable to waive a worthy brothers dues, it should not expect re-imburse-ment from the Board. We know you can appreciate this when you realizewe have some 285 Lodges with a membership in excess of 42,000.

May we re-emphasize: All applications must be made on regularform as furnished by the Grand Lodge-filled out in its entiretyand must be submitted within 1 year.

We trust we have enlightened you to some degree as to the functionof your Board and as to requirements for application.

Let us never forget that Charity is the very cornerstone of ourgreat fraternity and that it is the brighest jewel in the MasonicCrown.

Brethren in view of the fact that many of you might not havereadily available,nor have opportunity to study Grand Lodge Pro-ceedings each year, we, the Board, whole-heartedly endorse ResolutionNo. 4 and solicit your'support and aDproval.

And now for the report.


Statement of income and expenses were reviewed. It was noted expenditures ex-ceeded income in the amount of $46.23. However, it was the consensus of the Boardthat the financial situation is in excellent condition.

The Board was advised that Brother Fendlason whose term expires, would not seekreelection.

The following applications were received and reviewed individually with thefollowing results voted unanimously by the Board:

Mansfield Lodge No. 250, approved $150 reimbursement.Denham Springs Lodge No. 297, approved $250.00, reimbursement.Ferriday Lodge No. 390, approved $50.00 reimbursement.West Monroe Lodge No. 419, approved $375.00 reimbursement.Fair Park Lodge No. 436, approved $50.00 reimbursement.St. Charles Lodge No. 445, approved $50.00 reimbursement.Pearl Lodge No. 456, approved $400.00 reimbursement.Sun Lodge No. 336, approved $45.00 for Grand Lodge dues and assessments.Fair Park Lodge No. 436, approved $45.00 for Grand Lodge dues and assessments.

Disapproved Doric Lodge No. 205 for $200.00 reimbursement and one for $50.00.Disapproved Pine Lodge No. 264 for $126.00 for dues and assessments.Disapproved W.H. Booth Lodge No. 380 for $100.00 and Pearl Lodge No. 456 for$50.00 as they did not meet criteria.

The application of West Monroe Lodge No. 419 for Grand Lodge dues and assess-ments is to be returned for proper application forms and to be resubmitted, only 1984dues are applicable.

Each Lodge is to be so notified and if the Lodge wishes to appeal the disapprovals,they are to submit new applications with more details surrounding the needs.

By vote of the Board on proper motion duly seconded it was agreed to donate amaximum of $5,000.00 to R.M. Crowson Lodge No. 281, whose Lodge was destroyedby fire in 1984. The Lodge did not have any insurance. Said donation is to be madewhen needed as determined by the Board.

Due to the $5000.00 to R.M. Crowson Lodge, it was recommended that no specificdonation be made to the Masonic Home for Children until the end of the year.


Due to apparent misunderstanding of the requirements for the reimbursement of theGrand Lodge dues and assessments waived by the individual Lodges, it was suggestedthat they refer to the Grand Lodge Proceedings of the Report of the Board of Charitiesand Benevolences as shown on page 235 in the 1983 Grand Lodge Proceedings. Also,Resolution No. 4 was carefully considered and it was the recommendation of theBoard that it be approved, this is in order to better clarify the criteria of the applicant.

On motion duly made and seconded and by vote of the Board, approval was grantedfor the issuance of bank signature cards for the newly elected officers of the GrandLodge, checks are to require 3 signatures.

No further business to come to the Board, meeting was adjourned with prayer byBrother Clyde B. Fulton, P.M.

Fraternally submitted,

Delwin P. Laguens,Grand Secretary

Report of the Committee on STATE OF THE ORDER

Our Grand Master opened his address with a hearty welcome to membersand distinguished guests to this One Hundred Seventy-Fourth Annual Commun-ication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, andexpressed hope that each will have an enjoyable and beneficial visit.Acknowledging the honor of having been elected Grand Master, he expressedjoy in endeavoring to fulfill the many duties and responsibilities of theoffice. His goal was to serve as Grand Master to all Masons of Louisiana,and as he visited any part of the state he reported finding devoted memberswho believe in good fellowship toward all. He pointed out that minor dis-agreements exist in several constituent Lodges,but is of the opinion thatregional and sectional differences have been put behind and that peace andharmony prevail. He believes, as other Grand Masters have felt, that theGrand Lodge Officers, the Past Grand Masters, Board Members, Committee mem-bers, and entire Grand Lodge staff constitute the best team one couldassemble. He also praised the Masters, Wardens and Brethren of constituentLodges who have created an atmosphere of enthusiasm and a spirit of co-operation throughout this Grand Jurisdiction. As his tenure is compelted,he offers his future services to this Grand Lodge in whatever task he maybe asked to perform. He expressed love and affection to his lady,Edna, withdeep appreciation for her encouragement and many sacrifices in her owninterests last year.

Regarding State of the Order, Our Grand Master referred to many changesmade in our Grand Jurisdiction the past several years which have producedexcellent results and he believes these changes will be even more beneficialin the future. In his many visits to sister Grand Jurisdicitons and otherMasonic functions outside of Louisiana and discussing and observing conditionsof Freemasonry in those states he believes this Grand Jurisdiction is makingmore visible progress in some areas of Freemasonry than is evident in someof the other states.

Our Grand Master lists 259 days spent in Masonic visitations and relatedactivities. He attended six Annual Grand Communications and seven otherout-of-state conferences, etc., for a total of 60 days; attended 82 con-stituent Lodges; 19 District Lodge meetings; 17 Scottish Rite; 15 York Rite;10 Shrine; and 13 meeting'sof the Grand Lodge Hall Board; with 43 days de-voted to visiting 29 other Masonic and related organizations or activitiesone or more times.

He officiated at the laying of cornerstones and commemorative plaques atsix Lodges and one church; dedicated 6 Lodges; instituted one; constitutedone; approved building plans for four Lodges; consolidated two Lodges withtwo others; and issued two duplicate charters. He made 12 appointments tovarious boards; granted dispensations to 35 Lodges to hold special electionsto fill vacancies due to deaths or resignations, and to ten Lodges to conferdegrees either in other jurisdictions or under special circumstances.

He congratulated the District Deputy Grand Masters who represented theirrespective districts well during the year. He recalled the suggestion byM:W: Brother D. Walter Jessen,P.G.M. 1979 that elections of DDGM's by the"rotation" system does not always produce the best results, and that DistrictLodges should make their recommendations based on a Brother's past services,his ability, the amount of time he has to devote to his office.and his lovefor the craft. Our Grand Master concurred in that suggestion.


He cited the proficient manner in which the two Grand Lecturers per-formed their duties during 1984, and noted an increase in interest in thework. More than 250 Certificates of Proficiency were issued.

The Grand Master's Homecoming at the Masonic Home for Children enjoyedthe usual large attendance, even with inclement weather prevailing. OurGrand Master expressed sincere appreciation to leaders and staff, and allthose connected with or who support the Home, for their generous assistance.

Our Grand Master urged all members to continue support to the MasonicHome Educational Foundation by volunteer contributions, and to the MasonicHome Endowment Fund through the "penny a day" program or other forms ofsupport.

The Chairman of the Masonic Education Committee was congratulated foroutstanding work with the achievement awards program, and for his work withthe Permanent Committee on Work in updating the Masonic Education brochurewhich should be ready for distribution soon. The Honesty and Integrityawards program for highschool students has many Lodges participating. OurGrand Master urges Lodges which have not participated in this excellent pro-gram to give thought to beginning the Honesty and Integrity Awards programin the near future.

The Grand Lodge Hall Board, the General Chairman for the World's Fairhos-itality suite for visitors and the many volunteers who manned the suite,and the Chairman and Editor of the Louisiana Freemason were all commendedby our Grand Master for the excellent service rendered in their respectivepositions.

From the foregoing analysis of those sections of the Grand Master'saddress which were referred to this Committee for review, it is the opinionof this Committee that our Grand Master has rendered a satisfactory account-ing of his stewardship during 1984.

Claude J./Bonnecarre,P.M.Joseph A. D. Loftin.P.M. Vernon Dupree,P. M.v Chairman


W: Brother Thomas A. Wilson, P.M., Chairman, Masonic Education Committee,reported on the progress of his committee. He recommended that each Lodge Wor-shipful Master send a copy of his program in writing to him in order that he might sharethis program with other Lodges. He also recommended that the Masonic EducationProgram be continued in 1985, and whatever changes or additions that are to beproposed by the incoming Grand Master, they will be incorporated, and be sent to theLodges. He requested that the D.D.G.M.'s send in their report for the achievementawards by November 10th. He urged the Lodges to make new goals, plans, andthanked everyone who helped to make this past year a success. He moved that hisreport be accepted, filed in the minutes and be printed in the proceedings. This wasapproved.

M:W: Grand Master, James M. Walley, spoke on the problems of many Lodges notbeing present, because of the weather conditions. He stated he spoke with theincoming Grand Master, Brother Ray W. Burgess, and Past Grand Masters about howsome of the Lodges would be in jeopardy of receiving their achievement award.Inasmuch as there was a problem beyond the control of some of the delegates inmaking this Annual Communication, a program was to be set up, whereby the absentLodges could take on some extra projects, this would allow them to still qualify for theachievement award. The incoming Grand Master has approved this, and he is to set upthe program and outlined this program at the breakfast with the incoming Grand LodgeOfficers, District Deputy Grand Masters, and District Grand Lecturers.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE O NGRAND LODGE H I G H SCHOOL AWARD

Report Number Eight

Grand Master, my Brethern all.

In the Great Light of Masonry, Matthew 7:7 it states,"Ask and it shall begiven you- seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened untoyou." THIS MORNING I AM KNOCKING....

Brethern, I ask you this question: WHERE IS THE CONSCIOUS OF A MASONLOCATED? Some would say within the heart. A good Moslem brother wouldtell you that the heart is but a glorified pump- that the stomach is thesource of all true and virtuous inclinations. Has not medical scienceproved that the heart is a pump, and the stomach and colon one continuousdisposal system. Still others will tell you that a Mason's consciousis located within his brain. Science can not prove this. Scientistshave located the areas of the brain that enable you to see, smell,taste, hear, and touch- but a man's conscious eludes them.

Brethern,! offer you to this thought to take home with you. "A MASON'SCONSCIOUS RESIDES WITHIN HIS SOUL- AS HIS SOUL IS IMMORTAL SO IS HISCONSCIOUS." On the Bay of Judgement, each Mason's soul and consciouswill stand before his Creator for judgement for deeds done while inthe body. Those things which are eternal have value in God's eyes.

For many years a printing salesman called at my office. Invariablybefore he left (and in the presence of younger men) Bill would askthis question: "D.L. do you know what I would BE if I couldn't bea Mason?""No, Bill, what would you be?" I would respond."ASHAMED, that's what I'd be, ASHAMED." With a smile and a wave of hishand he would be on his way.

Brethern, the challenge and the opportunity remains before us.Certain words live in the conscious of men and are therefore eter-nal: FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, HONESTY, and INTEGRITY are such words.They live as Mason's live and act. May your lodge hold high the stand-ards of our Fraternity.

During 1984, eighty one (81) of our constituent Blue Lodges parti-cipated in this voluntary program. 244 awards were presented tostudents throughout Louisiana.

Each lodge has a copy of the 1982 Proceedings of the Grand Lodge.Printed on pages 110 and 111 is the step by step sequence that leadsto having a successful Honesty - Integrity Award Program in yourlodge. Wardens and Masters, we challenge you to look it up and readit twice- pages 110 and 111 of the 1982 proceedings. May you befound guilty of giving a young man or woman a standard to live upto a HIGH STANDARD!

My personal thanks go out to all who have served on this committeein the past. We appreciate the support the program has recieved from


the Grand Master and the other Grand Lodge Officers.

Now is a good time to pick up your 1985 Honesty-Integrity Keysand Certificates.Brother Maurice Sable, Chairman of the ServiceCommittee, would appreciate your placing your order before GrandLodge adjourns. May the Grand Architect of the Universe strenghenyou and support you during 1985.

Move the report be accepted and printed in the proceedings.

Respectively submitted,

D.L. Aldridge, ChairmanSpecial Committee forHigh School Awards

Dear Brother Laguens:

Following is the annual report for Louisiana Relief Lodge No. 1, F. & A. H.

During the year 1984 Louisiana Relief Lodge No. 1, F. & A. M. receivedseveral requests from sorjouming brethren or members of their families forfinancial aid, which we were happy to provide when the applicant was foundworthy. There were three Instances in which imposters attempted to unlawfullyobtain money from the Relief Lodge. In all cases we give the applicant thebenefit of the doubt but these three were obviously fraudulent.

In addition to requests for financial aid there were numerous requestsfor assistance 1n locating housing accomodaflons, transportation to the air-port, bus depot, hospital, etc. or help with problems which confront strangersin a large d t y with which they are not familiar. In addition to the personalrequests the Relief Lodge received many requests from lodges in sisterjurisdictions asking assistance 1n locating missing members or informationconcerning the health or financial status of their members living in the NewOrleans area. All of these requests were handled promptly and courteously;unfortunately, however we were unable to locate some of the missing members.

Louisiana Relief Lodge No. 1 conducted twenty-four Masonic Burial Ser-vices for sorjouming Masons or for local lodges and on some occasions provid-ed pall bearers for the funeral. There were never less than eight membersparticipating 1n the services and at times there were as many as eighteen.

In September of 1985 the forty-seventh Biennial Meeting of the MasonicRelief Association of the United States and Canada will be held in Alburquerque.New Mexice. It will be attended by Worshipful Brothers Glen H. Butler, PastPresident and Albert P. Selph, Executive Corrmitteeman of the internationalorganization.

OUACHITA RELIEF LODGE NO. 4Brother Delwin P Laguens, Grand SecretaryGrand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F&AM1300 masonic Temple Building333 St. Charles AvenueMew Orleans, Louisiana 70130

Dear Brother Laguens:

Active participation in the regular meetings of OuachitaRelief Lodge No. 4, is very poor at the present time. Dueto this laxity, there were not enough members present to havean election of officers for 1985. Therefore, the Officers whoserved in 1984 will continue in their stations until a properelection can be held. The officers retained for 1985 are:

Davis C. Lovelady Cadeville 229 Worshipful MasterW. P. Elliott Western Star 24 Senior WardenDavid Doane West Monroe 419 Junior WardenJohn P. Kersey Graham Surghnor 383 TreasurerH. B. Wilson Graham Surghnor SecretaryD. L. Aldridge West Monroe 419 ChaplainArnold Walker Urlm 111 Senior DeaconWesley Clark Cadeville 229 Junior DeaconRoy Patrick Cadeville 229 Tyler

Although our regular meetings are ill-attended, we stillhave a very commendable turnout for Masonic Funerals. TheRelief Lodge conducted eleven funerals in 1984 and assistedwith sixteen for local Lodges. We participated at everyMasonic funeral in Ouachita Parish and assisted with fourin neighboring parishes. We believe we are still serving avery necessary purpose for the Masons of Ouachita Parish.

Fraternally yours,

Herman 3. WilsonSecretaryOuachita Relief Lodge No.

I/ear Brother LeGuens,

I am pleased to make this report, to date, on the activities of theBaton .iouge nelief Lodge iio. 5 and to send you the list of officers for 1985.

The nelief Lodge was called upon to conduct (1} one out of otate Ledge,( Arkansas ), (3) three out of District Lodges funerals, and to assist in (15)fifteen lodges funerals, within our District.

A request to conduct a i'iasonic service for a sojourner was denied, onlyafter extensive investigation* It was found that the member had been suspendedfor non payment of dues in Paducka Lodge 12? in Kentucky. We were informedthat Kentucky Grand Lodge Law made no provisions in such cases.

At the rec.uest of your office, I in behalf of the rtelief Lodge, checkedon a Brother Harold A. rottorf a past i'iaster and member of perfection i.adgeAo. 193 in Denver, Colorado. I found this Brother had suffered a severe heartattack while traveling or. a tour in our area. Kis condition and circumstanceswas reported to the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lode* of Colorado by phone,followed by letter on the BrotherIs progress.

M:W: Brother Walter Thompson, Grand Master of Georgia gave greetings from hisGrand Lodge. He complimented his Grand Secretary, Carl F. Lester, Jr. He recom-mended that a knowledgable Mason be assigned to a new Master Mason, that willguide him and make him feel welcome. He congratulated the officers in the mannerGrand Lodge was conducted.

M:W: Brother James M. Walley, Grand Master, complimented Brother LarryHinyup and his committee for the great work he and his committee had done. Hestated they deserved a great big hand for their services. There was great applause forBrother Hinyup and his committee.

Committee on Foreign Correspondence

The following is submitted in accordance with Article III,Section I of the Handbook of Masonic Law.

The Proceedings of many of the Grand Lodges for 1982 and 1983have been recieved and reviewed. It is noted that the loss in member-ship continues in almost all Grand Jurisdictions; however the Stateof the Craft generally seems to be good.

There ware some problems among some of our Grand Lodges, namelyCalifornia and New Jersey and Indiana and Illinois, that were broughtto the attention of the Committee early in the year; however thesenow appear to have been resolved and no action on the part of theCommittee was required.

There have been no requests for recognition recieved this year.

Kleinpeter appointed me as Grand Senior Deacon of this GrandLodge, I did not dream that one day I would be standing before you as Grand Master.Then in 1982 after I had served almost a year as Grand Junior Warden, I Underwent anoperation to remove cancer cells from my right cord and was subjected to 60 days ofradiation. At that time I had doubts that I would be Grand Master. The cancerreoccurred and I had another operation last November. My doctors advise me that thecancer is gone and that I should make a full recovery. They further advise that I shouldhave my full voice back by the end of this month. The Lord has taken care of me and Iam very grateful and humble. I pledge to you that I will do my best. My Motto is "YOUCAN DO ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE ENTHUSIASM".

Thank you
