All Masons Day in Frankfort
Grand Master Todd Eastham and Kentucky
Governor Steve Beshear in the Capital
Rotunda.
On Thursday, February 25,
2010, Freemasons were recognized
in Frankfort for their charitable
contributions and efforts to support their local communities
throughout the Commonwealth of
Kentucky.
The day began with a breakfast prepared by Hiram Lodge No.
4 in Frankfort, Kentucky. On behalf of the brothers who attended
the breakfast, thanks to all of
those who helped in preparing the
April, 2010
meal. Most Worshipful Grand
Master L. Todd Eastham along
with several past and present
Grand Lodge officers, were recognized on the floor of the Senate
and House of Representatives.
Several members of the House and
Senate gave testimonies of how
Masons have helped in their local
communities.
It was a proud day to be
Mason, and our thanks and gratitude go out to everyone who had a
hand in making this day a success.
Special thanks go to the Governmental Affairs Committee; Brothers Michael Yount, Chairman,
Andy Dixon, and Bill Cannon, for
the dedication and planning to
make this a very successful day.
While waiting in the hall to be
introduced on the floor of the Senate, I observed a young teenage
lady, who had asked our Grand
Master if she could take his picture. As she walked off, her friend
asked her who it was that she had
taken a picture. The young lady
replied to her friend, “It was a
Mason”. You could tell by her expression a Mason at sometime had
left an impression on her.
Let us all continue to proudly
support our local communities,
and Freemasonry throughout the
Commonwealth.

Grand Master’s Message
L. TODD EASTHAM
Grand Master
The further backward you look the
further forward you can see.
The quote by Brother Winston Churchill
is as true now, as when it was first used by
the historic Mason and Statesman. Great excitement and debate has arisen around our
Jurisdiction regarding the history of Entered
Apprentice and Fellowcraft Masons and what
their places in Kentucky Lodges were at one
time in recent generations. This month, I will
attempt to share a little Kentucky and American Masonic History and some key data that
has been found through research which will
hopefully give some Masonic Light to this
great Craft of Kentucky.
The minutes from Greenup #89, Landmark #41, and Jerusalem #9 all agree that up
until about 1853, each of these three Lodges
opened their regular meetings in the 1st degree of Masonry agreeable to “ancient form
and usage.” This could show us that our Jurisdiction had Master Masons, Fellow Crafts,
and Entered Apprentice Masons sitting together in fellowship within the same Lodge
room opened on a Stated or Regular Communication. What this means will differ to each
Mason who this article reaches, but the fact
that business was conducted, ballots cast, and
all were entitled to voice opinion remains a
pointed piece of our Masonic history. The
burning question for me personally as a
Mason is simple, could it be possible that an
innovation was made in and to the body of
Masonry without our knowledge, and without
our consent. The 1824 and 1850 edition of our
laws state that “Apprentices and Fellow
Crafts have no right to vote on any subject,
except the admission and advancement
of candidates.” To the discerning reader,
these statements from our own laws open
many endless possibilities.
To reinforce this just a little, I had a
Brother send me a quote from Mackey’s unrevised 25th Landmark which states: The last
and crowning Landmark of all is this,
that these Landmarks can never be
changed. Nothing can be subtracted
from them-nothing can be added to themnot the slightest modification can be
made in them. As they were received
from our predecessors, we are bound by
the most solemn obligations of duty to
transmit them to our successors.
Given Mackey’s oratory, could it not be inferred that our Great Grand Fathers did not
hand Kentucky Masonry to us as it was given
to them. Masonic history also teaches that
the Morgan Affair and the Washington
and Baltimore Conventions of 1842-1843
played a large part in why this may have
happened. It was at that time a committee
called the “Committee on General Regulations Involving the Interests and Security of
The Craft” was formed and concluded the following: “The Committee considered it an "impropriety" to transact "business in Lodges
below the Degree of Master Mason, except as
such that appertains to the conferring of the
inferior Degrees and the instruction therein."
It credited the Grand Lodge of Missouri for
bringing this to the attention of Freemasons
everywhere. The Committee went on to say
"Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts are
not members of Lodges, nor are they entitled
to the franchises of members." I find it very
curious that our Brothers in Missouri led
this charge, but in September of 1994 reversed their policy and now require
lodges opened on the 1st degree before
proceeding to the higher degrees. It was
also during the Washington and Baltimore
Conventions that one committee wanted to
form a General Grand Lodge of the United
States, which we all know has been attempted to the disdain of many jurisdictions.
It is written in the historical documents of
Freemasonry that Kentucky was one of the
Grand Jurisdictions that vehemently opposed
this notion. We all cherish our own sovereignty and frankly do not appreciate someone
else attempting to regulate our actions. That
suggestion did not take root, and therefore
faded away into Masonic lore.
Albert Pike spoke for the Grand Lodge in
Arkansas, in 1854: "We greatly doubt the antiquity of the usage that requires all ballotings to be had in a master's lodge. It certainly
was not known when all the lodges were composed of fellow crafts, and entered apprentices
spoke and voted in general assembly. It seems
to us, on reason, and in justice also, that the
rule should be otherwise. Let the other work
be done in a master's lodge.”
As late as 1856, a Masonic authority in
Georgia said: "Entered apprentices are masons, and by ancient usage were members of
lodges. It was only in this country, and not
April, 2010
here generally, if we are correctly informed,
until after the Baltimore Convention, in 1843,
that they were ousted of the latter right, by a
resolution, that the business of the lodge
should be conducted in the third degree only.
This, we think, is wrong."
So in actuality, before 1853 Kentucky
Lodges were opened on the 1st degree so that
all could participate in the fellowship, education, and enlightenment that a Masonic Lodge
had to offer. If any work was to be done in the
higher degrees, the Lodge was then opened for
such purpose and the inferior degrees knew to
leave and await their Brothers after the meeting for more discussion and fraternal relations. It is quite the opposite in our system
today, meaning that we open on the highest
degree, and then call down to the lower degrees. Our more ancient Brethren conducted
business the way it had been taught them, the
same way we conduct our business in the
ways it has been given us by our fathers,
grandfathers, and great grandfathers. The
most curious oddity of all is that the practice of
opening our Lodges on the 3rd degree is almost purely American, as our English
Brethren and others around the world continue to open on the 1st degree. Some American Grand Lodges do not consider Entered
Apprentices and Fellow Crafts members of the
Lodges nor entitled to any franchise or right.
In our Jurisdiction, we do recognize them in
many regards such as the right of Masonic
burial, but they are also charged dues.
With this said however, they have no right of
vote as to how their Lodge is governed or their
money spent. It is curious that the Founding
Fathers, Mason or not, believed that taxation
without representation was, or should be,
against the moral and social law. Had it not
been for their vision, their patriotism, as well
as Masonic teachings and practice, we may
well have not had the opportunities and freedoms we enjoy today.
I have no agenda, only the history that has
been uncovered to guide me, as it is to the benefit of the Craft to point out what the facts are
and let all Brothers decide for themselves.
Greenup #89 as you all know is my home
Lodge, but after several years of legislative attempts, the Craft has spoken, and we will not
be bringing anything to the floor of Grand
Lodge this year regarding the often coined
“EA Legislation”. My only goal is to offer some
historical facts to enlighten the reader. I hope
that we all have gained some Masonic Light,
had a veil partially lifted, and the knowledge
of our history heightened a little. I continue to
be proud to be your humble servant, and hope
that my actions and deeds make you proud as
well as relieved at your decision to allow me
this opportunity. God Bless you all during
your travels and I will hopefully see you all
down the road.

FROM YOUR
GRAND
SECRETARY
JOSEPH R. CONWAY, P.G.M. Grand Secretary
There are three very necessary and important sentinels posted at the entrance of
every Masonic Lodge. The first (at the South
Gate) is in the form of the recommendation of
two members of the lodge petitioned, testifying as to the character and qualifications of
the petitioner that they are proposing. The
second (at the West Gate) is the Investigating
Committee assigned by the Master to thoroughly investigate the character, reputation
and qualifications of the petitioner, and of his
willingness to conform to the rules of the
order. The third sentinel (at the East Gate) is
the membership of the lodge expressed by
ballot. If these three sentinels are duty conscience and efficient, there is no way an unqualified petitioner should ever reach the
door of the preparation room of any lodge.
While each, in its own right, is of equal importance, the first priority falls on the first
sentinel, since it is two signers of the petition
who initially vouch for the integrity, character and reputation of the prospective member, and recommend him for the degrees. The
second priority, of course, belongs to the Investigation Committee who must conduct an
in-depth and unbiased investigation of the
petitioner and report accordingly to the lodge
membership. The last priority, in due course,
is the responsibility of the total lodge membership. The last priority is no less important
than the other two simply because it is last in
order. In fact, more responsibility should fall
upon this sentinel because each member-should he have personal knowledge regarding
the petitioner--would have his own assessment of the character and reputation of the
petitioner, as well as the recommendations of
the other two sentinels, in order to make his
own personal judgment at the ballot box.
If these three sentinels are functioning
properly, then it would seem to be impossible
for any unworthy petitioner to ever enter the
door of the preparation room of any of our
lodges. It’s only when one or more of these
guards get lax in conscientiously investigating a petitioner that an unworthy candidate
slips through, and, more often than not,
brings dishonor and/or discredit to the Fraternity. To serve on the Investigating Committee is one of the most important
assignments a member is called upon to perform. Should a petitioner’s integrity, reputation and character not measure up to the
standard for membership, it is much better
for him to be rejected – hopefully at the South
Gate – than he be admitted and bring dishonor to the Fraternity.
Many organizations - Masonic and otherwise – are, at the present time, very concerned about declining membership numbers;
and that is a reasonable concern, considering
that a growing membership is a positive sign
of the relevancy and interest of the organizations in the communities in which they are
located. However, our forefathers have set a
very high standard for those admitted into
the Masonic Fraternity, and we should be
very careful not to compromise the integrity,
honor and reputation of the Fraternity for the
sake of numbers. By carefully following the
procedures set out above, we have the best
chance of not admitting an unworthy candidate, one whom will have to be dealt with by
the Masonic Code at a later time. Let’s take
great care to keep these three sentinels
effectively at their posts!
AWARDS ELIGIBILITY LIST
Each Lodge Secretary should receive the
"Award Eligibility List" for those members el-
ThankYou from Kosair Circus
On behalf of the 2010 Kosair Shrine Circus, we
want to personally thank everyone who helped to
make the Circus a success once again this year.
We have already received positive feedback
from the community, commenting on the helpfulness and friendliness of every Kosair Shriner they
encountered.
Everyone's contribution is greatly appreciated.
From our Nobles who worked tirelessly throughout
the year collecting money at roadblocks, to our Nobles who were busy selling banners and advertisements and especially to all of you who helped at the
Fairgrounds - Thank you! We couldn't do it without you.

igible for the 50, 60, and 75 year Grand Lodge
Veteran's Awards from the Grand Lodge Office in early May. You will be sent instructions with your list that will explain
specifically how to fill it out. Please follow
these instructions precisely.
The plateaus in time that a Brother must
reach to qualify for these awards are significant, and the Grand Lodge Office wants to insure that those Brothers due the award
receive it timely. (PLEASE NOTE: The
awards are eligible for presentation as
soon as they are received from the
Grand Lodge Office). So, we encourage you
to give this matter your prompt attention.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LODGES
Just a reminder to each Lodge Secretary,
if you are communicating with another Lodge
within the Grand Jurisdiction of Kentucky in
an official capacity, you may correspond directly with the said Lodge. However, any
correspondence to a Lodge or Grand
Lodge - other than the one within whose
Jurisdiction your Lodge is locate—must
be transmitted through the office of the
Grand Lodge of Kentucky.
This procedure is intended to insure that
a complete record of the particular transaction is fully noted at each level. Following this
policy also saves time inasmuch as Lodges,
agreeable to Masonic Protocol, will not directly respond to correspondence from a
Lodge outside their Jurisdiction - thus creating delays by stalling the correspondence.
Just remember, all out-of-state correspondence must be transmitted through the respective Grand Lodge Offices.
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
Who is wise?
He that learns from everyone
Who is powerful?
He that governs his passions
Who is rich?

Who is that?

Christmas Miracle in Western Kentucky
West Ky Masons Give the gift of Christmas
to a National Guard Unit
The wind was cold, the Sky's cloudy, and a threat of
rain was in the air, but the excitement in the air
was electric. These were far to many children crying "I want Daddy", as Moms and
Wives said "shhhhhh,,, he will be home in a little bit".... The Soldiers were
almost home, the buses were just leaving I-24, and only a few miles out.
Our Soldiers were coming home for Christmas.
West Ky Masons, with help from all sectors of the Masonic and local
business community, have been actively involved with several National
Guard and Army Reserve Units over the past 7 years, providing Christmas
Parties, kids presents, summer picnic's, and the like. When one of the
units, the 2113th Transportation Unit found itself facing a crisis it could
not manage, they called upon the only group they knew could be relied
upon to make things happen, get results, and deliver on time and schedule,
as promised. They called the Masons.
In October, Robin Buts, the Family Readiness Coordinator called Dean
Owen, WM of Antioch Lodge #332 in tears, after 10 minutes of calming her
down he was able to understand the problem. Her husband’s unit, the
2113th, was going to deploy to Iraq, and over Christmas would be at Camp
Shelby MS for pre-deployment training. The military would give the unit
leave for Christmas, but not transport them home. The unit is full of
young families, most Soldiers would be unable to fund a trip home. The
unit CO was concerned, he did not want his Soldiers, men and women who
had been in heavy combat training and prepping for war, to scatter about
the 4 winds. He knew that was the recipe for disaster. But the quote from
Grey Hound Bus Service to get them, and bring them back, was $38,000.
By law, the Family Readiness Group can only keep $500 in its checkbook.
They saw no way to get the Soldiers home for Christmas.
After that lengthy phone call Dean told her "look, we are Masons, we
will get this fixed, give me a few days to get details lined out and turn off
the negative emotion for at least 96 hours, I am not good at dealing with a
woman crying". Once off the phone Dean started thinking "who do we
know in the fraternity who can leverage assets to get this done". Immediately he thought of Rod Pearce, Finance Director of Graves Co. Schools,
and PM of Paducah Lodge #127. Rod had just purchased new school
busses for the school, he wanted to know if they could leverage that to get
transportation. So he made a call.
It took Rod about 2 hours to talk with the Graves Co School Board,
several of whom are Brothers. But before the day was over, he had all the
authority he needed to commit the schools resources. At the next meeting
they would vote, and all would vote for the resolution. The school District
would provide the busses, Dean's group, the local Widows Sons chapter,
would provide the funds, and they could get this done. Over the following
months, the school, who was connecting Soldiers deployed with no one
home to talk to with 3th and 4th grade classes via e-mail and Facebook, got
involved. Each class wanted to provide a unique gift or contribution to the
cause. Even with the schools resources, it was a $12,000 expense, 150 Soldiers plus drivers and support personnel would be on the road for a total of
20 hours, it was a giant undertaking, and lots of opportunity for the schools
to provide much needed assistance such as goodie bags, sodas, games to occupy the 10 hour ride each way, and the like. Dean Owen stated "you
know, its a job finding tasks for so many classrooms full of motivated kids
to do, it was kind of cool seeing so much outpouring of community support I
got to be a challenge on how to utilize all of it".
Then Lone Oak Church of Christ donated a bus and drivers, more of
the fraternity working in the background. Donations started flowing in,
calls from the media, from the various military commands, it tuned into a
part time job just managing all the details.
But all that was history, today they came home. It was crazy, the
busses were supposed to be there at 09:00, at 05:00 they got a call they
were ahead of schedule, so be on point by 08:00, all were there, when they
got there we found one bus broke down 2 hours out... lots of drama, but
they rolled in at 09:00. Lots of managing the media, running around making sure the story told, everyone wanting to stop "The Masons" to say
thanks, but as usual, "The Masons" were busy with work....

But then the busses started rolling in... the Brothers all got together in a small huddle on the side lines and
just watched the Soldiers unload... gear coming off the busses.... they just watched quietly, not a word being said...
seeing the families huddled together, the 2 and 4 year olds who were screaming for the last hour and a half about
how they wanted Daddy finally in his arms... the Mother who was crying on our arms seeing her Son, the old Vet
who had a tear in his eye as he watched his Grandson exit that bus.... one Brother looked up and said "we did
this". It was humbling.
Rod Pearce and Dean Owen were discussing the event. They stated "You know, we sit in Lodge, but going to
Lodge did not make Masons great, DOING the work of our community did. Making a DIFFERENCE is what
made Masonry great, Masonry is something you are, but it shows because if you are a Mason, being a Mason is
something you DO. Our Soldiers need help, these units are horribly under funded, our fraternity did this, we
leveraged our relationships, and when we are focused on doing the right thing, this fraternity can change the
world".
The efforts of the Brothers in Western KY resulted in a recognition from numerous military commanders,
front page and local prime time media coverage 3 times in one week, and special thanks from the LT Governor
who presented an award at a pre-deployment celebration. But most of all, it gained the endearment of hundreds
of families who know they can turn to "The Masons" when they need help. In the end, what matters is the Soldiers, the men and women who go to war to defend this great Masonic experiment we call America, got home for
Christmas, and if The Grand Architect sees need to call them home while in combat, the Brothers know, those
families were united at Christmas. In the end, that is all the reward anyone really wanted.
