I would like to thank all who participated in the Cornerstone Ceremony for the Alexandria Academy. It was a most enjoyable evening and provided the public with a positive aspect of the Lodge and of Freemasonry.
Ladies Night will be held Saturday, October 21, 1995 at the Pier 7 Restaurant in Washington D.C. A reception will be held at 6:30 p.m., with a dinner at 7:30 p.m. followed by entertainment. Please attend and show the love and affection we have for our ladies who support and assist us in our Masonic activities.
As Master of the Lodge it is often difficult to deal fairly with the various personalities and actions of the Brethren. "It is easy to be angry, and equally easy to be unjust. If he is a wise Master, he will make haste slowly. There is need of tact, patience, and, above all, sympathy -- since all men are a little weak and a little strong, a little good and a little bad, and anyone may lose his way, befogged by passion or bewitched by evil. If we see a Brother going wrong in Masonry , or in anything else, we must take him aside and talk with him gently, man to man, Brother to Brother, and show him the right way. If the Brother will not listen we must admit that we have done our best and failed. Some inherent failing, some blind spot, has led him astray, dividing him from us by a gulf we cannot bridge. How should a Mason treat his Brother who goes astray? Not with bitterness, nor yet with good-natured easiness, nor with worldly indifference, nor with philosophic coldness~ but with pity, patience, and loving-kindness " *
Sincerely and Fraternally,
George D. Seghers
Worshipful Master
