| A Symbol of Personal Responsibility The best known symbol of Freemasonry, the nation’s oldest and largest charitable fraternity is the Square and Compasses. They are reminders of a Mason’s duty to live by the highest moral standards, to practice brotherly love, and affirm loyalty to his country. Masons believe that the quality of a man’s life should reflect his faith in God and his ethical ideals. The Masonic fraternity offers men of good character the opportunity to share their ideals and aspirations with each other. Invite a non-Mason to attend our MASONIC INFORMATION NIGHT WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2009 Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Complimentary dinner and presentation at 7:00 p.m. Scottish Rite Masonic Center 6151 H Street, Sacramento, California Co-Sponsored by the Sacramento Scottish Rite and York Rite Bodies. |
| THE MASTER CRAFTSMAN PROGRAM Greetings Brothers, John Lindell, Past Venerable Master of the Lodge of Perfection, asked you in his February article, “Do you hear Gary Calling?” Well, I am now making that call to all of you. The Scottish Rite Master Craftsman study course is something that all of our Scottish Rite Brothers should experience. You really can’t beat the price. $35.00 buys you the Scottish Rite Ritual, Monitor and Guide. This book contains over 900 pages of information about the Scottish Rite and will serve you as a most valuable resource for you in your ongoing journey in Scottish Rite. This book, along with the Bridge to Light, serve as your textbooks for this course. If you can’t remember where you’re Bridge to Light book is? No problem. Our Secretary of the Bodies can get you one. Here is how the Master Craftsman program operates. You may purchase the Scottish Rite Ritual, Monitor and Guide on line at www.scottishritestore.org or order by phone at 866-445-9196 between 8:30a.m to 6p.m., M-F EST. Your book will arrive with your first quiz and a letter from the Grand Commander. Quiz #1 contains 20 multiple choice questions covering “Some Masonic and Scottish Rite Basics”. All of the quizzes in the course contain no more than 20 multiple choice questions. Each quiz that you receive will tell you the pages you are to read in the SR.Ritual, Monitor and Guide or in The Bridge to Light in order to answer the questions. EVERY QUIZ IN THIS PROGRAM IS OPEN BOOK. You move through this program at YOUR OWN SPEED. Once you have completed a quiz, you mail it back to the Supreme Council where it is read and corrected. NO GRADES ARE GIVEN. Your corrected quiz is then sent back to you along with the next quiz in the program. The entire program is made up of six quizzes. They are in order: “Some Masonic and Scottish Rite Basics,” “The Lodge of Perfection”, “Chapter of Rose Croix”, “Council of Kadosh”, “The Consistory of Masters of the Royal Secret”, ‘Scottish Rite Honors” Upon completion of the program, you are issued a framable certificate of completion and a lapel pin. I have found this program, and the Scottish Rite Ritual,, Monitor and Guide to be the source of clarification and meaning to me that I have looked for since I became a Scottish Rite Mason. I remember walking away from my Reunion unclear about so much of what I had experienced during my three day class. How about you? This program has been so helpful to me and I am sure it will also be for you. Don’t delay! Enroll today! As of this date, Brothers William R. Freeze, Robert F. Gee, Jack A. Jacobs, Gary C. Young and Jim Liggett, have completed the course Congratulations to these Brothers. GARY R. DARROW, Past Master of Kadosh |
