Thoughts From M. Douglas
Adkins, 32o KCCH
Personal Representative of the Sovereign Grand
Inspector General and Chairman of the
Executive Committee,
Valley of Dallas
By the time you will have received your newsletter,
Extravaganza Le Cirque will be history. Many of our
members have responded beyond the call of duty in order to
produce this premier event. We must be ever viligant and
responsive to seize the opportunity to introduce ourselves to
the communities in which we live. We must be willing to pay
the price for embracing challenging events that allow us to
maintain our properties and our principles.
The One-Day Reunion will be held August 13, 2005. We
need to bring in petitions and encourage our Blue Lodge
brothers to take another step toward the light. i strongly
encourage you to be present to see the improvements added
to the Cathedral as a result of the Le Cirque show. The OneDay Reunion should be used as a springboard for the Fall
Reunion. Our new Black Caps are watching us to gauge our
enthusiasm, our devotion and our participation in the great
principles of Freemasonry.
See you at our Stated Meeting on July 11th, 2005.

Venerable Master of Dallas
Lodge
of

Independence Day: America’s Birthday
Although July 4th is celebrated as America’s official split from Britain’s rule and the beginning of the American Revolution, the
actual series of events show that the process took far longer than a single day. The original resolution was introduced by Richard
Henry Lee of Virginia on June 7, 1776, and called for the Continental Congress to declare the United States free from British rule.
Three days later a committee headed by Thomas Jefferson was appointed to prepare an appropriate writing for the occasion.
This document that we know as the Declaration of Independence was adopted by Congress on July 4th although the resolution that
lead to the writing of the Declaration was actually approved two days earlier.
All of this had occurred with some of the delegates to the
Congress not even present; New York, for example, did not even
vote on the resolution until July 9th.
Even more interesting is the fact that not a single signature was
appended to the Declaration on July 4th. While most of the
fifty-six names were in place by early August, one signer, Thomas
McKean, did not actually sign the Declaration until 1781.
Nevertheless, July 4th was the day singled out to mark the
event of the United States establishing itself as a nation.
Only four American holidays are still celebrated on their proper
calendar days: Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s and
Independence Day. Of all the secular holidays, the Fourth of
July is the only one whose celebration date resists change. Even
in more provincial times, suggestions to alter the day of the
festival to the preceding Saturday or the following Monday
when July 4th fell on Sunday were protested.
The feeling about the sanctity of America’s Independence day
was best expressed in a quotation from the Virginia Gazette on
July 18th, 1777: “Thus may the 4th of July, that glorious and
ever memorable day, be celebrated through America, by the
sons of freedom, from age to age till time shall be no more.
Amen and Amen.”
“Whenever any form of government
becomes destructive of these ends
(life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness), it is the right of the
people to alter or abolish it, and to
institute new government.”
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826),
from the Declaration of
Independence

*****
A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car
on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astonished
to see that the grandmotherly woman behind the wheel
was knitting.
Realizing she was oblivious to his flashing light and
siren, the trooper cranked down the window, turned on his
bullhorn and yelled, “Pull over!”
“No!” the woman yelled back, “It’s a scarf!”
