The Mystic Shrine is not, properly
speaking, an order of Masonry, al
though none but knights Templar and
those who attained the thirty-second
degree in the Scottish rite are eligible
to become members of the Shrine.
A rite of Freemasonry is a scale Of
degrees. more or less in number fol-
lowing each other in regular order
and worked as a system under one
governing body.
Many rites have been worked, the
principal Of which, at the present day,
are commonly known as the English
or York rite the Ancient and Accept
ed Scottish rite and the Rita Moderne,
or French rite.
The three blue degrees-aDprentice
fellowcraft and master-belong to and
form a part of all the principal rites.
The Ancient and Accepted Scottish
rite consists of q body of the thirty
third degree, called Supreme Council.
OF these, the oldest existing one in
the world is that for the southern
jurisdiction of the United States,
whose see is at Charleston. 1t was es-
tablished on May 81. 1901, and from
it all other Supreme Councils now in
existence have mediateiy or immedi-
ately originated. The Supreme Coun-
ell for the northern jurisdiction of the
United States was established at New
York by the Supreme Council of the
United States at Charleston in 1913
and was afterward removed to Bos-
ton.
The laws by which the Supreme
Councils are governed are: First, the
constitutions and regulations of the
year 1852; second. the statutes, regu-
lations and institutes adopted at diff
ferent times under these; third, the
true secret Institutes, or. grand con-
stitutions Of the year 1886, which pur-

IN He knights Templar Triennial
CcnclaYe Of 1883 was the start
ing point for this State as con-
i vcntion State and san Francisco
as a convention city. 1t was
the first national gathering Of any
magnitude that had ever assembled
here. There were in 1883 more than
GO 600 strangers in the city, the greatest
body Of representative men that had
ever been gathered within the hospit-
able embrace OF San Francisco. Too
much stress cannot be laid upon the
good to US that resulted from that en-
carnpment and that will result from
the coming one. Within the body of
the knights Templar are contained
many Of the leading figures Of the day
in public life-captains Of finance and
industry, men prominent in commerce,
trade and manufacture and men idenu-
fed with professional and theological
activity. one Of the proudest memories
cherished by local knights Templar
is the memory of the magnificent re-
ception rendered by California Com
mandery to President William McKin-
ley. himself a Sir knight. upon the oc-
casion Of his visit here in 1901. Mr.. Nc
Kinley was pleased to say that the re-
ception rendered him by the knights
TempIar here was the finest testimonial
he had received on his entire tour.
No stone was left unturned in 1888 to
give our guests the very finest of recep-
lions. and TO the credit CT all be it said
that hardly a man approached for as
sistance, financial or otherwise, failed
10 respond. Excursions were held that
took in the points Of interest through
out the State. Every phase Of Cali
fornia industries was brought to the
attention of these representative visi-
tors from abroad. San Franciscans
and Californians seemed animated with
but one desire: they were one in
unanimous spirit to extend to our vis-
iting brethren and to their families and
friends a right royal welcome apd
hearty invitation to tarry with US.
Many Of them did, The knights Temp
lar Conelave of 1888 was incidentally
the greatest California exploitation
scheme that has ever been consum-
mated. The result ef the generous
treatment and open-hearted hospitality
was that these strangers went back
home carrying golden tales of the won
ders OF this far western shore, of her
fruit and flowers, her wheat and vines,
her equable climate, and the glories OF
river, valley and grove.

into two classes-active and honorary.

the thirty-third. and disclaiming any
authority to govern the symbolic de-
grees.
The Supreme Council for the South
ern Jurisdiction has also two other
honorary memberships:
1. Knight Commander of the Court
Of Honor; and
2. Grand Cross OF the Court of Honor.
These degrees are never applied for
and are given in the same manner as
the thirty-third. The former, while not
necessarily a stepping to the
thirty-third degree, is a prerequisite.
and no one can receive the thirty-third
degree until after he has passed a pro-
bationary period of at least two years
as a Knight Commander of the Court
of Honor. The honorarium of Grand
Cross is a great distinction, and is con-
and thirty-thirds, its possession being
a valued trophy OF which only a few
can boast.

The reputation Of San Francisco as
the ideal convention city OF the United
States is established beyond question
Other cities have claims that cannot
be entirely ignored, or otherwise there
would be even more conventions held
out here than there are. BY these con-
ventions we have been advertised
to greater advantage, perhaps, than
any other State in the Union And
this is largely the result. as I
have stated, Of the conclave OF
1888 and Of the fact that the residents
of this State were quick to realize that
an opportunity had been presented to
them through the efforts of knights
Templar here Of bringing their State
before the eyes Of the whole country
influential and representative bodies
in the United States and they grasped
the opportunity ably and decisively
The conclave spirit has been growing
tremendously until it has become stu
pendous task to entertain the body Of
Templars and visitors that attend the
triennial conclaves. In 1888 there were
1000 TemDlars in line in the grand pa
rade; this year there will be approx
mately 1900. 1t is impossible to state
how many visitors will be present dur
ing the coming week; from the reports
given out by those in position to
know, Il, 900 would be a conservative
estimate. However. preliminary esti-
mates on visitors to a conclave are
pretty difficult to give satisfactorily.
We will not have as many as cities such
as boston and Pittsburg and Washing
ton had, because they had such large
centers to draw from, but we will see
the greatest gathering within the his
tory Of San Francisco.
nose who attended the concIave OF
1ss: and who are returning to at
tend the coming conclave will see
many notable and impressive changes
along the line of the parade. Every
seven-story steel structure building
has been erected since then. The Call
building. the Examiner building, the
Chronicle building and the Mutual
Bank building. on the four corners
from which the grand parade viii
start, have all been erected since then.
Those who come in by way of the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific will
enter the city through one of the most
imposing ferry depots in the United
States At the ferry building they
will find the terminals of streetcar
lines, especially the electric systems
radiating to the south. whose districts
cover practically all of the territory
from the Cliff House to San MateO.
The city has put on the dress of
modern architecture within the twen-
ty-one years that have intervened be-
tween 1888 and 1904. Our pOpula-
ton has doubled. Hundreds of acres
of land then vacant are covered now
with homes and business blocks. Some
Of the old cranks still thought there
was doubt as to the stability of San
Francisco. 1 believe they are all dead,
and from their ashes have risen men
whose faith in the future Of San Fran
cisco cannot be shaken. Everything
points to us as the entry point of the
United States for the Orient. When
we look back fifty years and see what
San Francisco was then we cannot be
said to be dreamers If we say in fifty
years hence San Francisco will be the
second city in the union.

~ONcERNING the degrees in
/ Masonry, the first three degrees
No are: First, entered apprentice
degree; second, fellowcraft de-
gree. and third, master Mason degree.
These three degrees are conferred in
the Blue Lodge and. when one has
received them, he is as much Of
Mason, for all practical purposes, as
ne can ever be. From the master
Mason's degree there are two rites,
known as the York rite and the Scot
tish rite. Pursuing the York rite,
master Mason takes the mark mas
ter's degree, then the past masters
degree, then the most excellent mas
ter's degree and then the Royal Arch
degree. Those four degrees are taken
in the Royal Arch Chapter. The
royal masters degree, select masters
degree and super-excellent masters
degree are taken in the council. In
the commandery is conferred the Or
der of the Red Cross, the Order Of the
Temple and the Order of Malta. On
receiving these degrees and orders in
the sequence named. one becomes a
knight Templar. The various subor-
dinate lodges, comforting the master
Mason's degree, have a State organiza-
ton known as the Grand Lodge, and
so the chapters have a State organiza-
ton known as the Grand Royal Arch
Chapter. In the same manner there
is a Grand Council and there is
Grand Commandery of knights Temp
lar. representative of all the subor-
dinate communicates of the State. The
national Templar organization. repre-
sentative of all the Grand Comman-
deries. is known as the Grand En-
campment. 1t is the Grand Encamp-
ment that meets in San Francisco in
triennial conclave the first week Of
September.

in 1882. Grand Master Stoddard at
tended that conclave as grand sword
bearer. Four other officers of the
Grand Encampment who attended the
conclave of 1888 have since been hon
ored with the highest station within the
gift of the Masonic order: Robert e.
Withers, then deputy grand master;
John P. S. Goblin. then grand captain
general Warren LaRue Thomas. at
that time grand junior warden. and
Hugh McCurdy, at that time grand
senior warden.
SO 1 state that one of the greatest
benefits that has accrued to San Fran
cisco, California and the entire coast
through the knights Templar Con-
cleve of 1883 was the stamp it placed
upon this city as the ideal convention
city. That one thing was the initial
impulse resulting subsequently in
bringing thousands upon thousands of
men OF various professions, pursuits
and callings, men prominent in civic,
activity, out here on visits of busi-
ness mingled with pleasure and curl
osity in various national conventions
in the past twenty years; and to the
knights Templar of this State for the
schedule of entertainment afforded
their guests, no less than to the resi-
dents of this State for their
hearty cooperation, is the
credit due for the lasting
good impressions our
guests bore away and

fits that have

II is not difficult to understand why
cities strive so zealously for the honor
of entertaining the Grand Encampment
at each successive trienaial conclave.
The Grand Encampment Is made up of
ali past grand commanders of State
Grand Communicates. in addition TO
the grand commander, grand gener-
al.ssimo and grand captain general of
State Grand Communicates holding Of
fee during the encampment year. The
officers OF the Grand Encampment hold
Office for three years. As, a usual rule
men who attain official rank in State
jurisdictions are men of more or less
public prominence. This can be readily
seen by glancing over the list Of officers
Of the Grand Commandery of Califor-
mia. In similar way the membership
of Grand Communicates is made up Of
all past commanders of all State Com
manderies and of the three highest Of
ticers of commandery, namely the
commander, the generalissimo and the
captain general SO it is easy to be
seen that the constant sitting tends to
produce strength in the higher bodies.
and tends to make them bodies OF men
who stand for substantial and sterling
worth in their jurisdictions.
The encampment of 1855 was not Sc
cured Tor San Francisco without a con-
test. But after it was all over and the
returning cavalcades were setting forth
reluctantly from the city, Grand Com
