of England, became its successor.
Soon after its organization, about
the year 1888, the grand lodge of Eng
land established the first lodge among
white men in America, known as St.
Johns lodge, at Boston, Mass, with
Henry Prince as grand master; but on
account of the American racial dis
elimination no black men were admit
ted to membership in this lodge. But
in the year ITS, during the siege of
Boston by the British army under
General Gates, a military lodge Of
Englishmen, who knew no race dis
tinctions, operating under authority
from the grand lodge of England, in
itiated, passed and raised to the sub
lime rank of Master Mason fifteen

bus, Buesten Singer, Prince Taydan,
Cato Speain, Peter Best, Frotin How
ard, Prince Rees, John Canten, Peter
Freeman, Benjamin Tiber, Duff Bu-
form and Richard Tilley, and granted
to them dispensation under which
they operated until the year 1884,
when they received charter direct
from the mother grand lodge naming
Prince Hall as tn first Negro worship
full master, Boston Smith as the first
Negro senior warden and Thos. San
derson as the first Negro junior war
den, authorizing them to operate a
lodge in the city of Boston, Mass, to
be known as African lodge, No. 459.
This charter, though now 1873 years
old, is still in existence.
Shortly after the chartering of Afri
can lodge, No. 459, the grand lodge of
England, finding that the white breth-
rem in America were not propagating
the mystic art among black men, COM
missioned Prince Hall as provincial
grand master, with authority to found
other lodges among his people; and
under this commission he established
other lodges, representatives of which
he assembled at Boston on June "a,
1871, and founded what he then called
the grand lodge of Massachusetts, now
known as the Prince Hall grand lodge
of Massachusetts, From the grand
lodge of Massachusetts Negro lodges
were established in Philadelphia and
other cities in Pennsylvania, repre-
sentatives Of which met in Philadel-
phia on December 27, 1915, and organ
lied the grand lodge of Pennsylvania.
From the grand lodge Of Pennsylvania
Negro lodges were established in Ohio,
representatives of which met in May,
1849, and organized the grand lodge
of Ohio.
From the grand lodge of Ohio, Me-
gro lodges were established in Mis-
souri,, representative of which met at
St. Louis in June, 1866, and organized

Ladies and Gentlemen: Two hun
dred years ago today there met in the
city of London, England, representa-
tives of the only four lodges then in
existence in southern England, and or
ganized what afterwards became
known as the most worshipful grand
lodge of England, from which has des.
cended by some process, either direct
or indirect, every regular Masonic
lodge now in operation throughout the
civilized world, whether composed Of
white, black, yellow, brown or red
men.
And while it is true that there is no
other fraternal organization now ex-
tant that can trace it's origin back two
hundred years, yet would not have
you understand that this was the be-
ginning of Freemasonry, for all of
you who have been initiated, and many
of you who have not are aware of the
fact that Masonic tradition traces the
origin of our institution back to the
date of the building Of King Solomon's
temple at Jerusalem, the first house
erected for the worship Of the true
God, a thousand years before Christ
We also have authentic records of
groups of men who in the first century
after Christ came together at stated
intervals to receive instruction in the
fundamental principles of our fra
ternity. As early as the year 926 rep
resentatives of these organizations
from all over England came together&
at York, England, in what is common
ly referred to as the Grand Lodge of
York, and which continued to meet at
stated times between that date and the
year TIT, about which time it ceased
to operate, and our mother grand
lodge, the most worshipful grand lodge

The above cut is that of Mr.. A. w.
Hardy, formerly physical director of
the Y. M. C. A. OF Kansas City, Mo-.
He is also a graduate of Washington
college, Topeka, Kans. He is that type
of young man of which the race can
justly feel proud, having all the at
tributes that are essential for a we'll
rounded character, developed to the
highest; he stands out pre-eminent
among the many other young men who
have come to Ft. Des Moines for
training.
That pure patriotism brought him
to the fort for training can be evinced
from the fact that he left at home a
loving and talented wife and four
months old baby. His wife, who form
erly was Miss Effie Grant, graduated
from the musical conservatory Of Yale
and is singer of national reputation.
