funny how so many of our wartime

Bert likes plenty of butter on his

worker, Bert used to stick to a
temperate glass of beer on time off;

moderation.

committees that Prince Hall (Ne-

has been hailed with pleasure,
more so by those who were ignor-

Hall Masons. Although the seal
of approval of the validity Of the
procedure of Prince Hall Masonry
has been placed on 1t by the

status quo will undergo no change.

MASONIC HISTORY

Wednesday, March IL, history
was made in Boston When the
Grand Lodge of Masons of Mas
sachusetts acknowledge that Ne
gro Freemasonry OF the Prince
Hall Affiliation was Legitimate"
and duly constituted. Unanim-
ously approved was the report
submitted by a committee of six
Past Grand Masters who exam
ined and investigated Negro Free
masonry In this Commonwealth
for over a year under the super
vision of the Grand Master. The
committee declared "Thus for 10
years African Lodge and its sue
cessors have been functioning in
Massachusetts in good faith and
with the belief that their origin
and procedure were as regular and
legitimate as we have thought ours
to be-" Since 1881 Prince Hall

ficent influence upon the entire
community through the guidance
of the men of probity and dis
tinction in its leadership and mem
bership. No other lodge in the
United States has now in its
possession an original charter
granted by authority of the Grand
Lodge of England, on September
20, 1884, the Duke of Cumber-
land, Grand Master, who was a
member of the royal family, APP
pointed Prince Hall, Negro Bos-
tonian, as the first in long line
of illustrious Masters. AS the
crucial struggle for the abolition
of the slave trade and the insti-
tuition of Negro chattel slavery
intensified until its ultimate vic
tory in 1855, Masons remained
steadfast in the foremost ranks of
the abolitionists. Since then they
have consistently promoted broth
erhood and progress with Jealous
devotion. Their history is bound
up intimately with the history
of the Negro people in United
States.
