Greetings!
Its been a long sad week for Sunrise.
The stewards want to cheer us up a tad with a Fried Chicken Dinner before Tuesdays Night Meeting, Picnic Style to warm us up. So come hungry !
****************************************************************
THE GOLDEN FELLOWCRAFT
A very old and
wizened gentleman arrives on the night of the Lodge's monthly meeting and asks
to become a Fellowcraft.
When advised that he would have to become an
Entered Apprentice first,
the old man nods "I was entered as an apprentice
in this Lodge 86 years ago."
He gives the date and the records are
examined. Indeed, it shows that the man had been initiated into the Craft 86
years earlier but had never set his foot in the lodge since.
When asked
why he had not been there in 86 years, the old man smiled and said "I've been
learning to subdue my passions!"
