 HEAD OF SHRINE

The order was instituted by the son. in-Iaw of the Prophet Mohammed. NaIif Alice, in the year of the Hegira. .5 GA. D. 64D at Mecca, in Arabia, for the purpose of dispensing justice upon criminals who escaped their just de- serts through the tardiness of the courts. The order took every precau ton to preserve secrecy and as it com Drised men of sterling worth. who would without fear or favor, try. judge and execute criminals, it soon caused alarm and consternation among the criminals under the Star and Crescent.
 IL is still one of the most favored secret societies in the Oriental coun- tries and includes in it's membership only a few of the best educated and cultured men in those countries It's membership includes Christians. Mos iens and Israelites.
 The ritual now in CSe was translated rom the original Arabic, having been found in the archives of the Order at Allepo, Syria and brought to London in 1860 by Dr. Walter M Fleming. William J.

 q LOGAN IF ALL GOOD SHR|NERS

And everyone is expected to go to Portland. Just think you Shriners, the Portland crowd has raised an honest to goodness cool 100, 900 beans for your entertainment. Not only have they raised it, but when they showed up at the Imperial Council they proudly and without any hesitation exhibited a certificate from the Portland Clearing Association that they had that small amount on tap ready to shoot the min- ute the first wearers of the Fez showed their countenance within the walls of their city. One hundred thousand smacks is no small amount even in these days of multi millionaire labor CTS, and that is just the starter
 In addition to the bank roll they have prepared a billion dollars worth of entertainment and hospitality. They didn't have to put that through the clearing house as evidence of their anxiety to have hordes of be-fezea guests on their hands. They are plan ming the most wonderful setting before which. the Imperial Shrine ever staged it's show. Yea even rumors have arisen m the air telling of the wonderful times to be placed on the program for the occasion

number of Knight Templars and thirty second and thirty third degree Masons assembled in Masonic Hall, No. IA. An official divan, with Dr. Fleming as the first potentate, was elected on September 2e. 1872
 Since the organization of this Mother Temple the order has steadily grow n until now there are 145 Temples of the Mystic Shrine in North America with a total membership of approximately 800. 900.
 The prerequisites to membership in the Mystic Shrine are that of a Knight Templar or a g degree A. A. s. Rite Mason in good standing in the pre- requisite bodies. An order devoted, not to the exposition of Masonry, but in tended to develop a spirit of charity. goodfellowship, fraternal feeling and a reverence for Allah and for God, and at the same time affording clean and wholesome entertainment it has es- tablished esprit de corps which dom mates all other orders, a social side touching it's members as does no other organization. It is the supreme con fraternity of fraternities, replete with Oriental symbolisms and impressive ceremonies. costumes of varied coIors. whirling dervishes and thoroughly drilled patrols. It's exemplifications $ and teachings are ancient and honor able.

originality, pep and jazz. New stunts have been originated and new ordeals invented until she looks like a big time for all concerned
 And another thing is deeply de- sired. In every well appointed eere monial there is an element which al though it is not present at the inner and deeper doings of the Shrine, is always in the offing. The Ladies must be here for a completely successful af fair. All Nobles are urged and en- treated to bring their ladies. A com mittee of women has been selected to furnish entertainment for the wives of Shriners who will visit Phoenix durng the ceremonial. At 2:30 on the afternoon of Saturday, the 14th the women who are relatives or wives of Shriners will have their duties as such relatives fully and completely ex- plained to them.
 For the feminine portion of the wis itors attracted here because their hus- bands, brothers or other relatives are in session, the one big event of The two days session will be the Grand Ball held Saturday night, the 14th. The affair will take place at the Pea cock, and will be an exclusive shrine affair, for Nobles and their ladies. Admission will be only on exhibition
Arizona republican., 1920-02-05

The first session of the Temple will be held at three o'clock on the alter noon of the thirteenth. All petitions must be in the hands of the Recorder not later than two o'clock of that day Following the initial session things are due to start moving. And when the Shrine starts things moving they move with the swiftness of an avail anche and they gather as much mo mentum as the law of gravity will all low The Patrol in other words the members who put on the heavy work, or the strong arm stuff as 1t has been termed have been working lonS and hard for this occasion. It Is the one big time of the year when every Shrirer feels that his existence has been justified and the Novice feels he has been ldeleted).
 From far and near. and even farth- CT and closer than that, Nobles of all sizes and dimensions, character and looks will congregate in Phoenix for the big doings-
 At seven o'clock of the evening when the Movies are to be prepared for the first dive into the cold crystal waters of Shrinedom, there will be a parade. Yes real parade, with camels, elephants, tigers. and whole host of other animals, but according to the Shrine bulletin put out on the subject, the one big outstanding feat ure of the parade will be the inclu sion of the Sacred Lallapoosa. the first time one has ever been brought to this country let alone exhibited in Phoenix. The Novices will become acquainted with this animal later in the night.
 The Ceremonial Session which is to start at eight o'clock has been pre- pared under the supervision of ex- perienced and efficient directors. Due to the fact that so much interest has been taken in the affair this year it is expected that the program will

q. CLAIRE PASSES OUT AFEW
 WORDS OF COUNSEL EOR MOST ' SHR|NERS TO TAKE NOTES ON

In view of the fact that the Shriners are to meet in Phoenix Friday the Thirteenth of February. and that the celebration is under the direct charge and care of Harry St. Claire, Recorder of the organization, it has been thought necessary that he send forth few words of counsel.
 Herewith those few words appear:
 It should be thoroughly understood that the Shrine is not the playground Of Masonry. but play ground for Ma-sons- The Shrine is a great insti- tuition with manifold opportunities to make the world better and happier. To bring back st3id business men to their days of boyhood is one of it's missions. To be kid again is wish which hankers in every mans breast. and that is what the Shrine tries to do.
 After a man has passed the 60- year mile stone and wants to be a boy again, with all it's accumulation of fun. it is a sure sign that the Lord made him right. In the Shrine we play, and we forget 1ife's trials. we turn a deaf ear to the daily tribulati1ns, and for once we are Arabs just for fun. The Shrine is the Masonic smile, the Ma sonic sunshine society Its principals are pleasures without intemperance. hospitality without rudeness. The fun is pure and clean and intensifies good fellowship. The Shrine doctrine is to radiate health, cheerfulness and good will.
 Have Your Cards
 The card this year is combina ton of gold and white. The price remains the same. notwithstanding the H. c. of l.. The 1920 card will admit all nobIes to the Ceremonial and Ball and all the privileges Of Shrinedom. The Recorder by the way has a fresh stock and is exceedingly willing to dispose of them.
 Stick Out Your Nit
 If a strange fez appears every Noble should at once constitute himself a committee of one to extend the glad hand Of welcome and good fellowship.

SHRINE DOCTRINE-'1t makes no difference who sang the song. if only the song was sung; it makes no diff ference who did the deed. be he old in years young; it makes no diff : ference who ran the race, so long as the race was run; SO why should the winner be proud of himself, because it was he who Won? If the song were sweet and helped a soul. what matters the singers name? The worth was in the song itself, and not in the worlds acclaim. The song. the race and the deed are one, if each be done for love. Love of the work (not love for seif) and the score is kept above"

TO VISITING MOBILES

We extend most cordial greeting The glad hand of the Nobility will be extended and what is ours to give will be yours to command.
 You are welcome as the flowers that bloom in the spring: as the shady dell on June day. with its rippling waters trout pools. song birds and little wild folk is to the nature lover and sports man: as warm milk 10 a hungry pun, or the fast fading light in the parlor to Romeo and Juliet. Meet with us- eat with us, and feel as if you own the whole works. The only thing re>. auired is your 1920 card.
Arizona republican., 1920-02-05

It is desired that every visiting Noble come and meet with Fl Zaribah. eat with us, and feel as if he owned the whole blooming works.
 Shrine Must Hustle It sure does mean some hustling to get the number of candidates we have aimed at. It is the object of the Shrine 10 have HOO members and it means that everyone has simply got to get out and hustle. Get busy and bring in the petitions you have been promising for some time. This ceremonial is go- ing to be the biggest ever, we are going to have the largest class and it is es- sential that every individual effort be put forth.
 Salute That Button
 When you see Shrine button salute it. for it stands for the principals that go to make fraternalism. The button is an invitation to every other wearer of the same badge to make himself at home with you, to speak to you and have a good time in general When you slap him on the back, do it easy, don't knock him down. just make yourself known, that's all. It's an outward manifestation that you are not only a Shriner by membership, but at heart and that you are willing to meet other Shriners on the ground of good, genu- inc fellowship. And when you see a woman wearing that button do your best to be of some service to her.
 Don't Hesitate
 Every Noble is requested to send in the petitions as soon as signed. It will facilitate the duties of the recorder
 You Gotta Have Card
 Remember that it is easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a world famed Needle, than it is for a Noble to get in without his 1920 card Get it and don't hesitate.
 Sign YoE Name
 As soon as you g@ that very neces- sary piece of paste board sign your name in the left hand corner. for the purpose of Identification and as a pre- vention of it's being used unlawfuly. And-don't think about con1ing-do it.
