Message:: Dear Brethren and visitors, I am passionate about two things -- Freemasonry and Leadership Development. I have been involved with the Johnson & Johnson New Leaders Foundation for the past five years, which espouses a values-based, vision-driven, inspirational model of leadership. I believe this model is highly compatible with Masonry. I would welcome correspondence with Masons on values-based leadership, and am more than happy to send information to anyone who is interested in the Johnson & Johnson program. Can someone please direct me to a definative work on Masonic core values? Fraternally, Stephen Lourey

Message:: In short terms please explain and refer to "the perfect points of my entrance" eluded to in the first degree
[Web-editor's Note:: Classically, there are usually said to be Seven virtues:
Four "Cardinal" (or "natural") virtues: temperance, fortitude, prudence, justice
Three "Theological" virtues: faith, hope, charity

In Massachusetts ritual (and that is the only one I can speak of with authority) "The Perfect Points of your Entrance" relates the four Cardinal Virtues (temperance, fortitude, prudence, justice) to various things you experienced during your reception, obligation, and instruction as an Entered Apprentice. By relating them to things you did or experienced during the degree, it is supposed to make it easier for you to remember the Cardinal virtues, what they mean, and why they are important.
You should ask your lodge's instructors about this for more detail.
(By the way, just so you know "elude" means "hide from, evade, escape detection". "Allude" means "refer to indirectly". In the ritual, we make reference to the Perfect Points, we don't evade them. :-)]

Message:: My Brothers of the world my project is to try and better understand why we are a separated fraternal society. We all understand the different affiliates which is not a problem but to be turned away or not enlightened because you are of a different affiliate is not the answer. From my experiences as a traveling man I have had conversations with Brothers of another affiliate but as soon as they found otu my affiliate the conversations was over. I ask why is this aren't we all of one brotherhood and represent the same. To know the same information, password, signs, etc.. we need to try and come together more as one. Point is if I am in need or a fellow brother I will not question him on his affiliate before I help him, if HE give the proper signs for distress than I HELP. LIGHTS continue to look to THE EAST for there is much more we need to understand. Be good and GOD bless. SO MOTE IT BE.....

Message:: My father Roy William Day passed away in February. I had forgotten that I had kept his billfold and found his cards for Scottish Rite 32 No.01467836, Hella Temple No. 039378 of Garland,Texas and a member of Trinity Vallley Lodge 1048 Grand Prairie Id No. 270782. Do you have any records on him that I might could have for our records. My brother has joined the masons in Colorado and we both would like to have information on our father. I also am rejoining the Eastern Star.I have a several memebers in my family that are masons. I have even found today that my Great Grandfather William Johnson Day was a mason in Brownwood, Texas as early as 1877. He died on May 26, 1898. Can I get any infomation on these two men? William Johnson Day was with the Freemasonry in Brownwood No. 279, A.F.& A.M. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you in advance. Joyce Day Austin

RQFC-topic: family history
Message:: I am having difficulty tracing my great-great grandfather, Marshall Morrow, and his brother, Courtland Morton Morrow. Both lived for many years in Monroe County, Ohio, where each served a time as county sheriff (we think). Tracing them is difficult becuae Marshall moved to Wisconsin in 1866, a year after Morton moved to Missouri -- and a year before the Monroe County courthouse burned, destroying county records. I have long suspected that Marshall Morrow was a Mason. I now have the obituary of Morton Morrow, which clearly states that he joined the Masonic Lodge in Ohio and maintained his membership in Missouri. That account is: Farmers Advocate (Hamilton, Mo.), Wed., Jaunary 22, 1896 (page one) Courtland Morton Morrow, an aged and highly respected citizen of this city, died on Monday afternoon at his home in the east part of this city. The funeral was held this forenoon in the M.E. church conducted by the Masonic Lodge of this city of which deceased was a member, the funeral sermon being preached by Rev. W.B. Dunn. Deceased was born in Belmont County, Ohio, March 21, 1820, was united in marriage with Jane Miller in Woodsfield, Ohio, May 14, 1845. Of this union seven children were born, six of which are still living. Mrs. James Allen of Grand Summit, Kansas, was the only child who was not present at the funeral, she being unable to come. The other children are Mrs. J.A. Thomson of Princeton, Mrs. John Fronk, Mrs. John Phillips, and Charley Morrow of this city, and Clifford Morrow of Hale City, Mo. Deceased moved to Hamilton in October 1865. He united with the Masonic Lodge in 1945 (sic), at Woodsfield, Ohio. The ADVOCATE joins in with the friends of the family in extending sympathy and condolence. It is my hope that some Masonic records remain for these two, which I could have access to. Can you help me? Thanks, Duncan Morrow
