Send an e-mail to:

and identify yourself and your Lodge, and we'll get this going.

Thanks!

Interesting Finds

While going through some of the old records of the Lodge last night, we came across two interesting items:

This is the first page of a monitor that was printed in 1920:

This monitor is in pretty bad shape (just old, not storm damage). I'm going to see about restoring it.

This is a page from a Kosmos ritual book from 1904:

It includes everything we currently have in the ritual book, plus the catechism for all three degrees. It's all in German, so I'm not sure about the specific differences in their version of the Work and ours. I'll be researching this in the future.

Click on the images to get even larger versions.
