Masonic Organizations Throughout Country Installed
Newly Elected Officers Yesterday.

Masonic organizations throughout the
tival Of st. John the Evangelist. recOg-
nized patron Of the Ancient and Honor
able Fraternity Of Free and Accepted
Masons. 1t is also the day wuen all
grand lodges install their newly elected
officers with all the pomp OF their order
Wherever there is a lodge the same
ceremony prevails and It was conducted
yesterday AT the same hour all over the
world.
The present organization OF grand
lodges, according TO Mackey's Lexicon
OF Free Masonry" "is by no means CO.
eval with the origin Of our institution.
Every lodge was originally independent:
and a sufficient number OF brethren
meeting together we're empowered TO
practice all the rights Of masonry with
out a warrant OF constitution. The
members we're IN the custom Of meeting
annually. az least as many as conven-
!ently could. for the purpose OF confer
ence on the general concerns OF the or
der. and on this occasion a grand mas
Ter or superintendent Of the whole fra
ternity was usually chosen.
The privilege OF attending these an
nual assemblies was not restricted as It
now is, to the grand officers, masters,
and wCrdens Of subordinate lodges, but
constituted one Of the obligatory duties
of every Free Mason. Thus. among the
ancient Masonic changes in possession OF

and the frst most excellent grand mas
ter. Christian grand lodges are most
ly dedicated 20 St. John the Baptist or
St. John the Evangelist. With respect
TO the original cause Of this dedication
the English lodges have preserved a
tradition. which as a matter OF curiosity
Is interesting.
FROM the building Of the first temple
az Jerusalem to the Babylonian captlv-
ity, Freemasons' lodges were dedicated
to King Solomon; from thence 90 the
coming OF the Messiah to Zerubbabei
builder Of the second temple, and from
the time OF the hnal des tructiOn of the
temple by Titus. in The reign or Yes
pasian. they were dedicated to St. JOh-
the R.aptist. Owing to the many mas
sacres which attended that memorable
event, FreenasOnry declined for the
want OF a grand master 10 patroniZe t.
Seven Of the most eminent members
of the fraternity waited upon St John
the Evangelist, who was at that time
Bishop az Ephesus. and requested him
10 take the Office Of grand master. He
was ninety years OF age at the time. but
he accepted the cfIlce, and through his
leading the fraternity increased and
prospered. and 10 this day. the 9th day
Of December, the festival Of St. John the
Evangelist has been recognized as the
proper and fitting day for the grand
lodge officers 10 assume the functions OF
their new tasks"
