From the East
Brethren,
As the long summer days begin to give way to the slightly cooler evenings of autumn, we are reminded of the cycles of time and the importance of balance in our lives. September offers us the opportunity to reflect on the work we have accomplished so far this year and to prepare ourselves for what still lies ahead.
Our Lodge has been blessed with growth, renewed energy, and the steady dedication of its members. I encourage each of you to remain active—whether it is by attending stated meetings, participating in degree work, or simply reaching out to a Brother you have not seen in a while. Masonry is strengthened not by the walls of our Lodge, but by the bonds we build with one another.
As we enter the fall, let us continue to labor diligently in the quarries of self-improvement, remembering that every effort we make—no matter how small—contributes to the strength and harmony of our Lodge. I look forward to seeing many of you in Lodge this month as we carry on the great work entrusted to us.

From the West
Greetings from the West,
STS. JOHN DAYS. June 24 & December 27
By history, custom, tradition and ritualistic requirements, the Craft
holds dear the days of St. John the Baptist on June 24, and St. John
the Evangelist on December 27. Historians believe that only after
1717, when the Mother Grand Lodge was formed, did Freemasons
generally hold festival meetings on either or both June 24 and
December 27.
Symbolic Significance
St John the Baptist: He is seen as a figure of material and earthly
reality, representing the fiery, passionate, and active aspects of life.
His association with the summer solstice symbolizes the peak of
material light and the connection to the material world.
St John the Evangelist: He represents introspection, spiritual wisdom,
and the written word. His connection to the winter solstice and the
concept of the “Word” from the Gospel of John makes him a figure of
illumination and enlightenment, linking to the pursuit of knowledge
and the abstract concepts of Freemasonry.
Fraternally,
Eric Figueroa
Senior Warden
From the South
Greetings from the South, Brethren!
As we move into the Fall of the year, it is a good time for reflection.
This has been a very good year as we have seen our lodge flourish under the leadership of Worshipful Richard!
With that, we have seen an increase from an average of 25 to 30 at the beginning of the year to now an average of 40 to 45 brothers enjoying our meals together.
We have also seen many more brothers staying after the meeting to enjoy dessert and good conversation.
I so appreciate the brothers who have stepped up to assist with serving the meals when needed.
It is my pleasure to serve you, my brothers!

Reminder: Street Cleanup, Sunday September 21st,

dies with us; what we have done for others
and the world, remains and is immortal."

From the Secretary
Fraternal Greetings Brethren,
Please try to attend our Junior Grand Wardens Homecoming on September 6 th , 2025, hosted by Amara Shrine. Kindly take note of the attached flyer. R:.W:. Estell Jr. is a member of our lodge which we are all very proud of and he will be our Grand Master in a few years. In fact R:. W:. Estell is a member in a number of lodges within our Jurisdiction as well.
Also Brethren, I have attached a separate Masonic Education article I find
of value. Not so much for it’s military facts but for a display of honor and
valor that this senior Marine recruit displays in boot camp and in battle
during World War II. Pease read the attached article.
I sent out two emails a month apart, then a month later mailed letters to 23
members asking that they remit their 2025 dues. Unfortunately, I will now
ask members to make some phone calls requesting payment so that these
Brothers remain in good standing. I find it so disappointing that we have
come to this stage of the process, creating much more work for the
secretary and not valuing their Masonic obligations. If you are reading this
and still owe 2025 dues kindly remit them soon.
Grand Lodge just emailed out the form for 2026 dues cards and
statements. I will be mailing them out during the second week of October
of 2025 to all our members. Please do not confuse yourself when
remitting either 2025 or 2026 dues. You cannot pay 2026 dues if you are
still outstanding in paying 2025 dues. Also evert member received a
statement, even if you are a perpetual or a 50-year member.
Wishing our young Brother Ben Cohen the best as he is off to Law School.
Brother Ben earned a Gold Card in record time for his excellence in
memorizing and displaying his proficiency in all ritual and degree work.
Lectures, sitting in all the officer’s chairs and teaching as well. It will not
surprise any of us if he completes law school and passes the Bar in no time
at all. Congratulations to his parents as well, good work in bringing up
Ben.
In closing I ask our several new members, either raised, transferred or
plural members, to join a committee and share your talents and
experiences with the Brethen.
Fraternally,
R:.W:. Sinatra

***Paul Douglas 50-year old Marine Recruit***
The average age of a United States Marine Corps recruit is 21. When Paul Douglas enlisted in 1942, he left behind his wife, his child, and his career and reported to the Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot in South Carolina at the ripe age of 50.
Even though thousands of visitors have walked the halls of the Douglas Visitor's Center, very few know the story of the man behind the name, who became the oldest recruit in the history of Parris Island.
Born in 1892, Douglas embarked on a career as an economics professor, teaching at various universities across America from 1916 to 1942. In 1939, he ran for the Chicago City Council and won.
By 1942, Douglas had made many acquaintances in high places, including Frank Knox, an associate he befriended during his tenure at the Chicago Daily News who later became Secretary of the Navy. With a little help from Knox, Douglas enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as a private, five months after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, as the country was plunged into a Second World War. He had wanted to see combat and fight for his country, so, with his connections in the Naval Service, the Marine Corps became the most logical choice. The 50-year-old famed economist, professor, and politician found himself commanded by drill instructors whom he was old enough to have fathered. After completing boot camp, Douglas proudly wrote “I found myself able to take the strenuous boot camp training without asking
for a moment's time out and without visiting the sick bay.”
After impressing commanding officers during boot camp, he was assigned to the personnel-classification section on Parris Island. With influence from his connections in the Roosevelt administration, three weeks later, he passed a test to be promoted to corporal, and one month after that, staff sergeant. Following a recommendation from his commanding officer (and a strong recommendation from his old friend Frank Knox), Douglas was commissioned as a captain in the Marine Corps after seven months as an enlisted Marine.
During the battle of Peleliu, while serving as the division adjutant to the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, Captain Douglas made trips to the front lines to evacuate wounded and dead men. During one of these trips, he saw that the men were in desperate need of flamethrowers and rocket-launcher ammo. He swiftly returned to the rear and hand-delivered the men the ammo under heavy mortar and small-arms fire. For these heroic actions, he would be awarded the Bronze Star. Later in the campaign at Peleliu, Douglas came under fire and was hit by a piece of shrapnel, for which he received his first Purple Heart.
He went on to serve in the battle of Okinawa, often being remembered by Marines for running around the battlefield with the vigor of a much younger Marine. He was promoted to major during that battle. Pfc. Paul E. Ison said that it was after he had pulled his demolition team aside to assist in resupplying ammo to the front lines that he noticed Douglas had been injured.
He had been hit by machine-gun fire in his left forearm and was evacuated by the men that he had risked his life to assist. After being hit, he used his uninjured hand to take off his major's insignia so that he wouldn’t receive special attention.
Ison said, “If I live to be 100 years old I will never forget this scene. There, lying on the ground, bleeding from his wound, was a white-haired Marine major. He had been hit by a machine gun bullet. Although he was in pain, he was calm and I have never seen such dignity in a man. He was saying ‘Leave me here. Get the young men out first. I have lived my life. Please let them live theirs.”
Douglas expressed passionate interest in returning early to his men to continue serving on the front line. But he was hospitalized in San Francisco and subsequently moved to Bethesda, Maryland, where it took more than 14 months for him to be dismissed from the hospital. He was medically retired from the Marine Corps, only regaining partial use of his left hand. Noting his unusual bravery, an officer who served under Douglas said, “No one could keep the major out of the front lines. He loves his boys and was right in there with them all the time.” Under his command, it was common to see Douglas waiting in the back of the chow-hall line while fellow officers skipped to the front. Also, he picked up garbage so that young Marines wouldn’t have to, and he did anything else he could do to assist the men under him. All accounts from those who served with him reveal that he was greatly admired by his Marines. Commenting on the importance of honoring Douglas and his actions by dedicating a building to him, Dr. Stephen Wise, the director of the Parris Island History Museum, stated, “It’s important to remember Marines who made an impact and influenced the Marine Corps in a positive direction. Douglas was the oldest individual to go through Parris Island. He could have stayed safely on ship, and he chose not to; we want people to remember these men and
their actions.”
Because of his brave actions under fire and overall unselfish service, Douglas was promoted to lieutenant colonel a year after he retired in January of 1947. After returning to Chicago as a war hero, Douglas won a spot as Illinois state senator in 1949.
During the campaign, the opposing candidate refused to debate him, so Douglas sat down and debated an empty chair, switching chairs to answer for his opponent. He was noted for his support of Dr. Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement and. He served as senator for 18 years until he retired at age 74.
In 1977, Parris Island Visitor's Center was named in Douglas’ honor. His wife, Emily Douglas spoke about the tribute Parris Island had bestowed upon her late husband: “Later in his life, many honors came to my husband. But there is none that would have so touched him, made him so astonished as well as thrilled, as having his name associated here at Parris Island.” In public office, Douglas continued to advocate for the Marine Corps, and proudly kept the Marine Corps standard displayed in his office.
“All of us have standards by which we measure other men" said Paul E. Ison.
"Paul Douglas was one of the finest, bravest, and truest men that I have known during my lifetime. It was an honor to have been associated with him, to have shared danger with him, and to have observed his nobility of character when he was wounded and asked to be left behind so that younger men might live.”
Chaplain's Corner
Remember the hit song and video We Are The World, as a benefit in 1985 for African famine relief? It was the idea of Harry Belafonte, written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and sung to fame by 45 famous singers in one recording session. The song was repeated this year titled We Are The World 25, as a Haiti relief fund-raiser.
Critics have complained that despite the good intentions, the song and its successor do not tackle the underlying causes of the tragedies they help to relieve.
So it is with Freemasonry. Year after year, We are the Brothers. Some years we give an extra push, finding time and energy for special projects, sometimes coasting along with our usual good work. We are diverse, young and old, new and seasoned, a real mix. We have our stars- celebrity members, presidents, and children’s hospitals.
We take hits regularly for not doing more or better or different if we really want to make a difference. We are usually our strongest critics. The song starts “There comes a time when we heed a certain call.” Many lodges go dark during the summer. Maybe like us, who meet year round, they will gently hear the call as they resume their Masonic activities this fall. We are local and we are global. We are ancient, and we are today. We are the brothers, always welcome.
May the GAOTU continue to watch over all those in need. SMIB

LANDMARKS OF FREEMASONRY
Based on Article XIII, Section 2 of the 2023 Digest of Masonic Law of Florida, the following are recognized as Landmarks of Freemasonry by the Grand Lodge of Florida:
Belief in the existence of one ever living and true God.
Belief in the immortality of the human soul and a resurrection to a Future Life.
The Volume of the Sacred Law, open upon the Altar, is an indispensable furnishing of every regular Lodge while at labor.
The Legend of the Third Degree.
Secrecy, which includes:
Words, signs, and tokens for recognition,
That every Lodge must be duly tyled,
Examination or avouchment of visitors,
Matters that cannot be written.
Symbolism of the Operative Art.
Qualifications of Candidates:
Must be a man, free born, of lawful age,
Of good repute and well recommended,
Without physical defects that inhibit learning or advancement (unless Dispensation is granted).
The division of Ancient Craft Masonry into three classifications:
Entered Apprentice,
Fellow Craft,
Master Mason.
Government by a presiding officer titled Grand Master, elected from the Craft, with prerogatives including:
Presiding over all assemblies of Masons in his jurisdiction,
Supervising and regulating Masonic affairs between Grand Lodge Communications,
Granting Dispensations,
Making a Mason at sight.
The necessity for Freemasons to congregate in Lodges.
These Landmarks are foundational and binding within Florida Freemasonry, although the Grand Lodge reserves the right to amend or reconsider them by appropriate constitutional means.
The Grand Lodge of Florida developed this comprehensive course of study to instruct Brothers on the proper procedures and responsibilities of each Lodge Officer, and how to conduct the important business of their particular Lodge. Courses are presented by the District Chairman, and a certificate is issued upon successful completion of all 15
modules.
The Grand Lodge of Florida provides Master Mason Examinations to be open book type exams designed to give any Master Mason the opportunity to increase his knowledge of some of the Ancient Tenets, Rules, and Regulations of Masonry. They contain a mixture of multiple choice, True or False, or essay questions which should be answered on the answer sheet, as provided in the exam downloads.
The Grand Lodge of Florida encourages all members of the Craft to further their knowledge of Lodge operation, especially those concerning the Elected and Appointed
Officers of each particular Lodge. The Lodge Officers Training program was designed to educate and test your knowledge of Lodge procedures, business, penal code, and other areas. Let There Be Light
