From the South To The Celestial Lodge Above: Greetings from the South! Today is Friday, April 24th around 11pm and I just got home from the Lodge. It was Past Masters’ Night and I just had to write down a few words about the event. One word comes to mind. WOW!! The Past Masters, around the time of Past Masters’ Night, usually joke about “if you want to see ritual done the way it’s supposed to be done, come to Past Masters’ Night”. Well I have to say, they lived up to the billing. It was fantastic and the candidate, Bro. Jefferson Edmonds, was raised in a ceremony that he will undoubtedly remember his whole life. I take great pride in my ritual work, but tonight I bow to the Past Masters. They really showed me how it is done and have inspired me and, I hope, all the other officers in the line, to work hard and aspire to greater heights. Thank you for showing me the way.
