Chaplin’s Corner

Brothers, we need to keep Brother Ed Robbins in out prayers. He went in to LRMC last week for open heart surgery. He came through the surgery well and is ex-pected to be out of the hospital in just a few days at most. We wish him all the best for

a speedy recovery. Brothers if you know of anyone having sickness or distress I wish you would call the Lodge and let us know. Don’t wait until the meeting night to announce it. By that time it is usually over and done and no one has called on the Brother needing a lift of spirit! Be proactive on this Brothers! Let the Secretary know so he can send out Get Well cards at least. Let the Master know so he can call the Brother and see if he is receiving all he needs. It only takes a couple of minutes Brothers so make the call. Until next time God Bless.

“The Altar”

When we visit a lodge, one of the first things we observe is the altar, that piece of Masonic furniture which is

the spiritual, ritualistic, and physical centerpiece of the lodge. An altar is a raised structure which serves as a

center for worship or ritual. In biblical times, altars were simply raised earth to be nearer to heaven. Noah

erected the first altar, and the Bible also tells of later altars erected by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Most an-

cient altars are long gone; the oldest one discovered so far, is in France dated from the fifth century.

The word altar comes from the Latin Word meaning “burnt offering”. The Hebrew word for altar means “to

slay”. Both meanings allude to the ancient custom of offering an animal sacrifice to Deity.

Those offerings were usually goats, sheep, doves or pigeons.

In Masonic Legend, the most famous altars are the ones in the Tabernacle and later, the ones in Kings Solo-

mon’s Temple. Each had two altars. The Brazen Altar, also called the altar of burnt offering, which in the

Tabernacle, was about 7 feet square and stood a little over 4 feet tall. This altar was made of acacia wood and

overlaid in brass. At King Solomon's Temple, it was somewhat larger and made of brass. The other altar was

the Golden Altar or Altar of Incense. This altar stood before the veil to the Holy of Holies, and sweet spices

were continually burned there with fire that came from the brazen altar.

In Masonry, the Sacred Altar plays a part in the opening and closing of lodge and is in the resting place for the

Holy Bible, Square and Compasses. The altar is the spiritual, ritualistic, and physical center of our Lodge. It

is visible to every Brother at all times during every meeting. It is there to support the Three Great Lights,

which are to remind us of our obligations to God, our neighbor, and ourselves.

Greetings Brothers! I hope that you have enjoyed your summer as much as I have. I have had a most productive summer and am looking forward to the coming fall and winter when all our Brothers from the north will again be visiting us in Lodge. We have been busy this summer as you might al-ready know. We have one new EA Brother, Brother Jose Castro and we have one Brother in waiting for affiliation by transfer, Brother Henry Kuhn. Lets make both of these new Brothers to feel welcome when you see them in Lodge. The Officers are working very hard to get ready for a Fellowcraft Degree to be put on some-time in October with four Brothers to be passed. We will be following that with the Master Mason De-gree, but the date for that hasn’t been discussed yet. There are several degrees going on in the district right now and are being announced at Masters and Wardens for everyone to attend. Most recently, the Lodge has voted to sup-port Mrs. Elizabeth Carlton from Bayshore Elemen-tary School with a $350.00 donation of school sup-plies. Most times, the supplies that are used come out of the teacher’s own pocket and these supplies are very costly. We purchased the supplies, such as printer ink and paper, glue sticks, construction pa-per, and other items and then presented all of them to Elizabeth at the Lodge on Friday evening the 29th of August. To say that she was pleased would be an understatement. There are pictures of those attend-ing the presentation on the back pages of the TB. Brothers the new dues notices are going to be coming in and I will be sending them out in mid Oc-tober so get ready now and please make sure I have your current address so that we don’t get the notices back or get charged for forwarding. The Lodge has decided that we will be passing on the cost of for-warding to the Brother this year in hopes that they will all remember that change of address is very im-portant to the Lodge. Lastly Brothers I want to make sure that all the Brothers get the recognition they deserve, so if you are due to receive an award for 25, 50, 55, 60 etc. years, be sure and let me know so I can arrange to get it to you. If you would like to receive it in Lodge, we will be happy to do that but if you are unable to come to Lodge then we will try to get it to you at your home if possible. Thank you Brothers

for your attention and hard work.

First Aid for Burns

My Brothers, all of us at some time or another will re-

ceive a burn of some type. How we treat those burns is

very important depending on the severity of the burn. I

have decided this month to try and give you a small

education on these treatments and hope that they will

be of use to you or your loved ones if they are ever in

need of help.

To distinguish a minor burn from a serious burn, the

first step is to determine the extent of damage to body

tissues. The three burn classifications of first-degree

burn, second-degree burn and third-degree burn will

help you determine emergency care.

1st-degree burn

The least serious burns are those in which only the

outer layer of skin is burned, but not all the way

through.

The skin is usually red

Often there is swelling

Pain sometimes is present

Treat a first-degree burn as a minor burn unless it in-

volves substantial portions of the hands, feet, face,

groin or buttocks, or a major joint, which requires

emergency medical attention.

2nd-degree burn

When the first layer of skin has been burned through

and the second layer of skin (dermis) also is burned, the

injury is called a second-degree burn.

Blisters develop

Skin takes on an intensely reddened, splotchy appear-

ance

There is severe pain and swelling.

If the second-degree burn is no larger than 3

inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter, treat it as a

minor burn. If the burned area is larger or if the

From the Secretary

burn is on the hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks, or over a major joint, treat it as a major burn and get medical

help immediately.

For minor burns, including first-degree burns and second-degree burns limited to an area no larger than 3

inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter, take the following action:

Cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cool (not cold) running water for 10 or 15 minutes or until the pain

subsides. If this is impractical, immerse the burn in cool water or cool it with cold compresses. Cooling the

burn reduces swelling by conducting heat away from the skin. Don't put ice on the burn.

Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage. Don't use fluffy cotton, or other material that may get lint in

the wound. Wrap the gauze loosely to avoid putting pressure on burned skin. Bandaging keeps air off the

burn, reduces pain and protects blistered skin.

Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen

(Aleve) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Use caution when giving aspirin to children or teenagers.

Though aspirin is approved for use in children older than age 2, children and teenagers recovering from

chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should never take aspirin. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns.

Minor burns usually heal without further treatment. They may heal with pigment changes, meaning the healed

area may be a different color from the surrounding skin. Watch for signs of infection, such as increased pain,

redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If infection develops, seek medical help. Avoid re-injuring or tanning if the

burns are less than a year old — doing so may cause more extensive pigmentation changes. Use sunscreen on

the area for at least a year.

Caution

Don't use ice. Putting ice directly on a burn can cause a person's body to become too cold and cause further

damage to the wound.

Don't apply egg whites, butter or ointments to the burn. This could cause infection.

Don't break blisters. Broken blisters are more vulnerable to infection.

3rd-degree burn

The most serious burns involve all layers of the skin and cause permanent tissue damage. Fat, muscle and even

bone may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear dry and white. Difficulty inhaling and exhaling,

carbon monoxide poisoning, or other toxic effects may occur if smoke inhalation accompanies the burn.

For major burns, call 911 or emergency medical help. Until an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps:

Don't remove burned clothing. However, do make sure the victim is no longer in contact with smoldering

materials or exposed to smoke or heat.

Don't immerse large severe burns in cold water. Doing so could cause a drop in body temperature

(hypothermia) and deterioration of blood pressure and circulation (shock).

Check for signs of circulation (breathing, coughing or movement). If there is no breathing or other sign

of circulation, begin CPR.

Elevate the burned body part or parts. Raise above heart level, when possible.

Cover the area of the burn. Use a cool, moist, sterile bandage; clean, moist cloth; or moist cloth towels.

Get a tetanus shot. Burns are susceptible to tetanus. Doctors recommend you get a tetanus shot every 10

years. If your last shot was more than five years ago, your doctor may recommend a tetanus shot booster.

“The Modern Cowan” In Scotland, the op-

erative Mason knew cowans

to be ignorant builders who

put stones together without

mortar. They piled rough fieldstones into a wall

without hewing them true, or squaring them. They

masqueraded as Masters, but they did not have the

Word.

Now and again, today - fortunately not too

often - we find a modern equivalent of the opera-

tive imposter. One such is the Mason who manages

a place in an officer's line with little or no effect of

his own to deserve it. With only that exertion that

is necessary to maintain his place, he continues to

advance in line until he receives the jewels and

honors that he prizes so highly. But he does not

know the Constitution, and he does not understand

the traditions and dignity of the Craft. As a presid-

ing officer, his vocal ability is more noteworthy

than his executive ability; and when his term is

ended, he is seldom seen until another honour or

prize appears to be within his grasp.

He is a contemporary builder who works

without the benefit of the mortar of real enthusi-

asm or accomplishments. His structure is liken

unto the rough stone wall, having little beauty of

value. He is the cowans of modern speculative Ma-

sonry.

He is to be pitied, for he is a Masonic fail-

ure. His honors are shallow. Bringing no interest

to his position, he received little of the satisfaction

and respect that belong to the real Master.

Masonry has failed to reach him with a

clear understanding of those marks of true devo-

tion which she has to offer. He never knows the

opportunities that the Craft makes available to

those who diligently seek them. He misses the op-

portunities that the Craft makes available to strive

for a just and worthy cause. He misses the oppor-

tunity for continuing fellowship and friendship. He

misses the opportunity for loyalty and devotion.

He misses the opportunity for development of his

executive, intellectual and oratorical abilities. And

most of all, he misses the opportunity for service -

to God - to his community - and to his fellow man.

These are the jewels that Masonry has to

offer, but in his quest for position and honors, the

modern cowan misses them. Like the operative

cowan, he does not have the Word.
