Maundy--Thursday


Maundy-Thursday
The ceremony of extinguishing the
seven Symbolic Lights, and spreading
the Mystic Banquet. is to be observed
on Thursday evening proceeding
Easter Sunday at the Scottish Rite
Cathedral.
This observance is called Mandy
Thursday, and is the one ceremony
that is obligatory upon all Knights
Idiction.
The Mandate is, that when there
are two brothers together, they are
to meet and observe the occasion.
one brother when alone on that day
is to meet his brothers in spirit il
not in the flesh.
The members Of the many Scottish
Rite clubs in the state will. as a mat
ter of course and as true Scottish
Rite Masons. assemble together as
societies of strict observance, and
celebrate the event.
The Symbolic Lights in the Chapt-
err of Rose Croix are supposed to
burn continuously, except for the
three DAYS between Manufactures
day (when they are extinguished)
and Easter Sunday (when they are
re-lighted). At both the extingu;sh-
ing and the re-lighting appropriate
ceremonies are carried out.
The Mystic Banquet. consists MAIN
ly of unleavened bread and Pascual
L.amb-or substitutes as near a.
these as circumstances will permit
and such other viands as may be de-
sired except intoxicants which are
strictly forbidden at all Scottish Rite
functions.
Humanity and War
It is cold somewhere in FRANCE. yes
doubly cold in the trenches. Those
warm sweaters and other wooden gar
ments will be a comfort and a pleas
ant reminder of home to the gallant
boys who are fighting for liberty and
peace.
Yet. in the endeavor to supply them
another ungent call has been answer
ed-and already in many towns in
the state noble women and girls are
working on layettes for the little
helpless Belgian and French babies
brought into the world in the midst
Of war, who will also suffer terribly
If provision of some kind is not pro-
vided.
Planning and getting the little gar
merts together can be accomplished
at home. the work is fascinating and
interesting, especially to those who
were never blessed with wee tots
of their own.
