Brethren,

I hope you have all enjoyed your time off this summer. It is now time to be

called from refreshment to labor, and come back to the Lodge and pursue our labors. Freemasons

have two gavels. One is the Master’s Gavel, Symbol of authority that must be wisely used to pre-

serve harmony within the Lodge. The other is the working tool of the Entered Apprentice. In either

sense the Gavel is of ancient origin and honorable history.

As a symbol, of authority, the gavel always has ruled deliberative assemblies. From the gathering of

a neighborhood sewing club to legislatures, congresses, supreme courts, presidents and monarchs,

the gavel brings order and obedience. Handing the gavel to another transfers for the time the au-

thority of the one who originally wielded it. A Master of a Lodge is an autocrat while in possession

of his gavel. The Grand Master does not actually take over a Lodge until the Master yields his gavel.

Our other gavel, that of the Entered Apprentice, is for the workmen to employ in their labors. It ap-

proaches in importance the gavel of authority. In one sense it is as important as the other gavel, for

no Master may open a Lodge unless the workmen are present. He cannot preside and supervise

the work unless the workman are at their labors. He cannot be successful in his conduct of the

Lodge and his supervision of the work unless the workmen are willing ones. He cannot drive them

to their labors, autocratic as his powers may be, even when they are at his bidding or summons.

The Master’s term in office, his supervision of the work, must all fail unless the workmen are inter-

ested in their labors, unless they have pride in the kind of work they present for inspection, unless

each workman is able to vision the completed work and voluntarily uses his gavel to produce a fin-

ished Ashlar of service, that Ashlar to either support or surmount the Perfect Ashlars of other

Brethren.

Brethren, I hope to see you all at our Stated Meeting.

Craig Montgomery, WM

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF

OK, now indulge me for a minute and let me pose this question: If you swear an oath in the middle of the forest and no one is around to

hear it, did you still make a bona fide oath?

It is my opinion, and I think that most good Masons would agree, that a valid oath was still made. On the other hand, if you break your

oath in the middle of the proverbial forest (or anywhere else for that matter) and no one witnessed it, was it really violated? I think we can

all agree that the answer would be “yes”.

I present this line of questions because of some disturbing reasoning I have picked up on recently. I heard or read about a few brother ma-

sons who divulge our Masonic secrets openly and to the uninitiated. The argument being rationalized is that the oath of secrecy in Mason-

ry, which we all so solemnly and sincerely swore before God and our lodge, has little value these days because anyone can look up just

about all our secrets in a good public library or by the click of a mouse on the internet.

There is no doubt that anyone who cares to do the research, or even watch the Discovery Channel for that matter, can find out most of

what we hold as “secret”. This completely misses the point of swearing the oaths of our obligation. I don’t believe it is so much a question

of whether a non-mason will discover some of our Masonic secrets. Certainly, there is nothing we can, or should do about the content be-

ing in public domain as in a public library or a TV documentary. The important thing is, it’s a question of whether those secrets were dis-

covered from one of us. Keeping the oaths of our obligation is a testimonial about our personal integrity as men and as Masons.

We swore an oath before God to keep these secrets, not to protect Masonry, but to provide ourselves with a tool to measure our worth as

men. And although God may sometimes be our only witness, when we swear an oath, we make a pact not with other Masons, but we

make a promise to ourselves. And for anyone who has an ounce of self-respect, to violate that promise would be to profoundly let our-

selves down. And what would that say about us as men or as Masons? Taken in part, FROM THE EAST master of Blue Hill Lodge

I hope to see you all in lodge

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Bob Cole

Senior Warden

The Twenty-Four Inch Gauge

Over the last months of my new job I have pondered the meaning of the twenty-four inch gauge. As humans we try very hard to keep up with the times, trends, and culture we live in. We want to devote our time to many things, such as family, friends and God. I’ve noticed that sometimes we lose sight of why we work and become very materialistic in our climb to the top and can find ourselves imbalanced in our daily life. We each know somebody that gave work more attention than their family and be-came divorced or neglected their work and would eventually find themselves unemployed.

We all want the nice car, or the big house and we want it now, so we work overtime, have two or three jobs, so that we can maintain or obtain the status we want. I myself have thought about talking a part-time job just to earn more money when I don’t even need it. However, I remembered the lesson of the twenty-four inch gauge.

The twenty-four inch gauge is a rule two feet long, which is divided by marks into twenty-four parts each one inch in length. The Operative Mason uses it to take the necessary dimensions of the stone that he is about to prepare. It has been adopted as one of the working-tools of the Entered Apprentice in Speculative Freemasonry, where it divisions are supposed to represent hours. Hence its symbolic use is to teach him to measure his time so that, of the twenty-four hours of the day, he may devote eight hours to the service of God and a worthy distressed Brother, eight hours to his usual vocation, and eight hours to refreshment and sleep. In the twenty-four inch gage is a symbol of time well employed.

I don’t believe that God wanted mankind to work or play all day, but to have a balanced life. This balance comes through the individual fulfillment through hard work, service to others, and strength through rest and refreshment. I was asked once if I like my job (which I do) and I replied, “a job is a job”. Whether you flip burgers and McDonald's or work for Goldman Sachs, it’s something to take pride in, you are earning your wages.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Mark Nelson

New DeMolay State Officers Sun City Masonic Center Related

At the 21-23 July 2017 Arizona State DeMolay Convention/Conclave in Tucson, two of the new DeMolay

State Officers have strong Sun City Masonic Center connections.

Installed as the State Deputy Master Councilor is Harrison Cantrell. Many of the Sun City Lodge members

know Harrison as a recently raised Master Mason who attends meetings of Sun City Lodge when his

schedule of work/school/DeMolay duties permits. Harrison served as Master Councilor of Glendale Chap-

ter and now is serving the Arizona State DeMolay Association as a state-wide officer.

Installed as the State Junior Councilor is Caleb Crabtree. Caleb has been serving as the Master Councilor

for PV Chapter, which meets in the Sun City Masonic Center, and was a critical part of the transition of PV

Chapter relocating to Sun City Masonic Center from Paradise Valley.

Sun City Lodge and the Masonic groups meeting in the Sun City Masonic Center are proud to see these

fine young men recognized for important leadership positions with Arizona State DeMolay Association.

Her mother is Susan Rial who is a Past Honored Queen, Past Grand Bethel Honored Queen from the State

Stewart Council #16 meets on the 3rd Monday of the month at Sun City Lodge #72 in Sun City. Our potluck begins at 6:30 and our meetings start at 7:30.

This last weekend we had our grand sessions in Mesa. There was a lot of official visitors from neighboring states and a lot of very useful information was discussed about the future and direction of Masonry in Arizona and the Councils in specific.

The two main areas of discussion concerned membership and retention. Our emerging leadership program is de-signed to bring “new Blood” into the craft and improve the leadership skills they bring to the table. Stewart Council has 65 members and while we added 5, we lost 5 and remain at 65 companions.

We had fair amount of legislation to review but the most noteworthy and discussed was to review that was present in all York Rite bodies was the instance the any elected officer must have a current dues card to preside over a chapter or commandery. The legislation did not pass but it is clear and evident that all elected officers must be in GOOD STANDING while serving.

St Andrew meets on the second Saturday of each month, Officers, sword and

ritual training at 7:30AM coffee & donuts 8:00AM Conclave at 9:00AM

Oasis Chapter RAM meets on the third Friday each month.

Pot Luck. 6:30PM Education. 7:00PM Meeting. 7:30 PM

The Sir Knights of St Andrew Commandery will be meeting on Saturday 09 September 2017 at the Sun

City Masonic Center. Coffee and doughnuts at 8:00 A.M. with meeting opening at 9:00 AM.

I would like to first congratulate five of our Commandery Sir Knights being installed in the AZ Grand Com-

mander Line; SK Doug Roberts, SK Dave Miller, SK Steve Wieters, SK Adrian Gohn, and SK Brian Turner.

I know these SK's and the rest of AZ Grand Commandery are going to do great things this Year.

Please bring in a Brother for greet and meet if they are interested in the Commandery.

We will be continuing some interesting education on "The Order of the Knights Templar", by W.F. Wilke.

This is just a brief history and book review done by James Burnes in 1829.

Stewart Council No 16 Cryptic Masons

Meets at Sun City Lodge N0 72

Welcome back Companions, The hot weather will be gone soon and we can get back our tasks. The Ari-zona Grand York Rite recently held their Grand Sessions. The event was held in Mesa Arizona. All three bodies presented and voted on legislation and elected and installed the new Officers, and Trustees. There was also a lot of fun and good fellowship, even the ladies had a great time playing cards, and visiting local points of interest. The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Arizona elected Joseph F. Zito as its new Grand High Priest. If you would like to know the results of the legislation that was presented and voted on, you can attend our next Chapter meeting, or contact me or Pat Hayes. One of the tasks we need to tackle this fall is our membership Program. It will be starting September 1

st. Our new Veils should be here very

soon, I hope they will be here before our next meeting, which will be September 15th. Please plan on at-

tending. It will be great to see you. Steve Wieters Excellent High Priest

VA BINGO

The West Valley York Rite Bodies have chosen to participate in supporting Bingo ac-

tivity at the Phoenix VA Home. On Wednesday, July 12 2017, three Companions/Sir

Knights initiated the assistance. Pictured below are the three participants: Corey

Chavez, Doug Robertson, and Myles Sagen.

This joint effort by Oasis Chapter, Stewart Council, and St Andrew Commandery is an

activity to involve members in outreach to the community and extend the fellowship

of the Freemasonry to others. The event sponsorship involves providing several

small prizes for winning/playing the Bingo games as well as sodas to the Vets playing

Bingo for refreshment. There was much gratitude expressed to the three volunteers

for their time and contribution.

If you would like to participate in this York Rite outreach activity in the future, con-tact Doug Robertson (602.391.5634, execagent@cox.net) or Dave Miller (602.317.6136, dmiller154@cox.net).

Why is Freemasonry a Ritual Practice?

What makes something a “ritual?” Is it an evil connotation? Is it something sinister? Why then is Freemasonry con-sidered a ritual practice? How could something so full of moral virtues practice something ritualistic?

The use of the word ritual is described as the regular practice of the same series of ceremonies at each meeting.

Often there is a connotation of something sinister or counter to popular practice by the use of the term ritual.

To the contrary, it is instead meant to imply that the degree ritu-als are an established or prescribed practice to con-vey the knowledge and symbolism of the Fraternity in a repetition to impart their teachings.

What this means is that the same ritual ceremony is practiced with each candidate to induct him into the fraternity so that each man undergoes the same experience creating a unifying shared experience. That practice imparts the three principal tenets of the fraternity which are Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.

On Saturday, 26 August, the Chapter hosted a Laser Tag event at the Sun City Masonic Center. The goal was to de-

velop prospects for Chapter membership. As this item is being written in early August, the event’s results will be re-

ported in the October issue of the Trestleboard. Special thanks to the Sun City Lodge Trustees for permitting the use

of the building and to the members of Sun City Lodge for their generous financial support of this activity.

In August, there was also a Pool Party at Dad Bryon Howe’s residence. This event, plus the Laser Tag activity on 26

August, were part of a major effort by PV Chapter to increase membership of local teenage youth.

Over the 21-23 July weekend, the Arizona DeMolay Annual Convention was held in Tucson at the Hilton East. Receiv-

ing special recognition was Tiffany Rial, the PV Chapter Sweetheart, as Sweetheart of Year. Also receiving special

recognition as DeMolay of the Year was Caleb Crabtree, who is currently serving as Master Councilor for PV Chapter.

PV Chapter was well represented at the annual conclave/convention by both advisors and members.

DeMolay is a Masonic youth organization for young men between the ages of 11 and 21 years of age. DeMolay

Chapters confer two degrees for membership. The members engage in a variety of service and fun activities. Service

events include working with adult Masonic groups and working in local community charity events. DeMolay mem-

bers enjoy social activities with members of locally Masonic sponsored Rainbow Girl Assemblies and Job’s Daughter

Bethels, as well as recreational events involving sports and electronic game challenges. The Chapter meetings are

run by the youth Chapter officers with guidance from the Dad Advisor.

Currently, the following Sun City Lodge members serve on the PV Chapter Advisory Council: Jim Almrud; Glynn Ley;

Dave Lowry; Dave Miller; Craig Montgomery; and Mike Rial. For further information about becoming a member of

DeMolay, how to become a member of the Advisory Council, or PV Chapter meetings/events, contact Dave Miller at

The girls then came back to attend Royal Retreat. Bethel #22 is very excited to have Miss Kyra Rial win the Miss Arizona Job's Daughters International Pageant. We are so proud of the hard work and the love she has for the order. The Bethel had their first meeting on August 22nd. It went well with a lot of instruction. Tori Cantrell preceded over the meeting. On Sunday August 27th,they had their Go to Church Sunday at CCV in Surprise. It was a great sermon and the pastor spoke about becoming engaged in our spir-itual growth. On September 12 we have a Bethel Meeting. On Tuesday, September 26th at 7:00pm we have our honor our PHQ's. We invite all PHQ's and MM of Job's Daughters to come out and share your stories of Job's Daugh-ter with us. We always like to hear of what it was like then. Our Bethel is planning on going to California for Su-preme Leadership. This is a great opportunity for the daughters to get a better understanding of what our role is and how to improve. We will get to spend time at Disneyland while we are there.
