WM Victor M. Frederick, V
invites you to
come to a Stated Meeting of the Lodge. Support your favorite
Charity by participating in his “Charity of the Month”
program!
A
note to visitors to our Lodge from the Officers and Members :
Chandler Lodge No. 227 is proud to support our DDGM in continuing
the Pennsylvania tradition of requiring "Masonic Dress"
at our Stated and Extra meetings. Masonic dress is coat and tie
(We have extra ties),
but more than that it signifies a proper state of mind when
entering the Lodge, being dressed Masonically means to be ready
to leave the outside world of concerns to dwell in peace among
your Brethren.
Any Member of the Lodge in good standing is entitled to a Masonic Funeral Service.
Contact the Secretary for details...
Brunch with the Men will be at 8:30 Am., the Saturday following the Stated Meeting at a location TBD,
Or at the pleasure of the Worshipful Master. Watch your Notice!

Masonic
Thoughts
From James M. Frank, IV, PM
to the Brethren of Chandler Lodge No. 227
To my
Fraternal Brethren of Chandler Lodge No.227:
The
Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania is one of a few remaining Grand Lodges
in the World that works under the Ancients Constitution. The following
was copied from Wikipedia, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonic_manuscripts):
“ The Book of Constitutions,
or Ahiman Rezon, of the Grand Lodge of England According to the Old Institutions,
also known as the Antient Grand Lodge of England or the Grand Lodge of the Antients,
was first published in 1754. Its author, Laurence Dermott, was Grand Secretary of the
Antient Grand Lodge from 1752 to 1771. The full name of the first edition was Ahiman Rezon;
or a Help to a Brother; showing the Excellency of Secrecy, and the first cause or motive of
the Institution of Masonry; The Principles of the Craft; and the benefits from a Strict
Observance thereof, etc., etc.; Also the Old and New Regulations; etc. To which is added the
greatest collection of Masons' Songs, etc. A second edition was published in 1764, and subsequent
editions in 1778, 1787, 1800, 1801, 1807, and 1813. The second edition was reprinted in
Philadelphia in 1855 by Leon Hyneman. Dermott borrowed heavily from the Constitutions
of the Grand Lodge of Ireland which had been published in 1751.
The third Charge in the Ahiman Rezon reads in part:
CHARGE III. Concerning Private Qualities and Duties.
For the better attainment of these shining qualities, he is to seek and acquire, as far as possible,
the virtues of patience, meekness, self-denial, forbearance and the like,
which give him the command over himself
and enable him to govern his own family with affection, dignity and prudence;
at the same time, checking every disposition injurious to the world
and promoting that love and service, which brethren of the same Lodge or household,
owe to each other. Therefore, to afford succour to the distressed,
to divide our bread with the industrious poor and to put the misguided traveller into the way,
are qualities inherent in the Craft and suitable to its dignity.
But though a Mason is never to shut his ear unkindly
to the complaints of any of the human species; yet when a brother is oppressed or suffers,
he is in a more peculiar manner called to open his whole soul in love and compassion to him,
and to relieve without prejudice, according to his capacity.
James M. Frank, IV, Worshipful
Master 2020, 2021.
