BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR FIRST GRAND MASTER, PRINCE HALL

Last week we related how one Henry Price received permission from the Grand Lodge in Eng. land (modern) to set up Pro vincial Grand Lodge in New Eng land. We related how the schisn Masonry to the New World. We noted that Prices Lodge called St. Johns represented the Mo- derns and St. Andrews represen ted the Ancients. The boys fin ally got together, however. Ii happened thus.
 The question that plagued the what happened to a Provincial Grand Lodge when it's Grand Mas ter died. Some thought the Provincial Grand Lodge could carry on; others held that it died with it's Grand Master.
 Therefore when General Joseph Warren Grand Master of St. An drew's Grand Lodge was killed at Bunker Hill and left the statue Of St. Andrews Grand Lodge in doubt. To clear the matter up and get on with their work a group of Masons - most of them St. Andrews members - met and set up an organization called the Grand Lodge of Mas sachusets, with the full quota of Worshipfuls thereto belonging. The move seems to have split the Massachusetts Ancients into two factions. To heal this new breach a committee was organized to get the ancients, faction together They did not succeed but they did make an important contribu- tion to future harmony. In 17S2 this committee offered two resolu- tions. - That since this coun- try was now independent of the mother country all Masons in this country were likewise independent of all Old World Masonic Juris- diction.
 2. They recommended the estab- O4 c 1lC" 01 d11d to be called the Massachusetts Grand Lodge of Ancient Masons, Independent of Old World Bodies.
 This new Grand Lodge was accepted by all Ancient lodges except St. Andrews. She pre- ferred to continue her allegiance to the Grand Lodge of Scotland.
 To this point in fraternal his tory the Moderns were Modern and the Ancients were ancient and the twain refused to meet, together or or maintain any off, cial Masonic intercourse.
 From the year 1782 to 1792 we find four distinct groups of Masons operating in Massachu- sets all proclaiming their own regularity but irregularity or worse for others. To name them we had St. John Provincial Grand Lodge (Modern). Prince Hall

 Many enjoyed a gala afternoon last Saturday. The afternon was very lovely. The affair was given by the Trustees Board of Cross Street AAIE Zion Church. It was a great success.
 ***********
 Due to the illness of Rev. z. A. Hart, pastor of litle Zion Baptist church, Rev. l.. A. Barco, the assistant pastor, delivered the morning sermon. Rev. Barco used Genesis 3-8 for the source of his deliberation. His subject was: "I heard a voice but saw no man." Mans disobedience eau sed God to chastise him. Adam and Eve heard the voice of God but saw no one. They were ashamed because they had done something which they knew was wrong. Too many of us have strayed away from God and if it weren't for the true spirit of some of us our cause for right ness would be lost. Are we list ening for the voice? The voice through man. Man is his own star and the soul that can render unto himself the fruitful benefits of brotherly love.
