As we start a newmonth, brethren, and look back at the cold,windy weather we had in January, we can bethankful for the warmth of a brother’s handshakeand a true and honest friendship.With the New Year, the Installation of Officersbegins, and the first was Bethel Lodge No. 699 inJanuary.The Ceremony of Installation is truly amemorable ceremony, with some of our mostbeautiful ritual. The most beautiful of all, in myopinion, is the General Charge. The Ceremony of Installation is one which unfortunately, toomany of our members see but once a year, and if the ceremony is slow, many members are tiredand don’t fully absorb the General Charge at the end.Most of the Installation Ceremony is done exactly as it was in England 200 years ago, with onenotable exception. The General Charge, delivered to the lodge at the end of the ceremony, is forthe most part, a “made in Canada” charge. It is a magnificent charge and contains the veryessence of Masonry.The complete General Charge was first put together in 1874 and published in 1876, by adevoted mason, Otto Klotz. Otto Klotz was a German, coming to Canada as a young man. Hewas a successful businessman and hotelkeeper in Preston, Ontario. He never aspired to thechair of Grand Master, but in recognition for his services to Grand Lodge, he was given therank of Past Grand Master, Honorary, in 1885.Various paragraphs of the General Charge were taken from different Grand Masters’addresses, but paragraphs four to eleven, on the ideal of a freemason, were composed byBrother Klotz and appear at the end of an article entitled “The History of Freemasonry” whichwas published in the Canadian Craftsman for March of 1868.When each lodge in our district has its Installation, make it a priority to attend. Listen to theritual and absorb it. The new master and his officers are starting on a daunting voyage to showtheir devotion to their lodge and the craft in general, and to exemplify what it means to be aMason. Give them your support!May the Great Architect continue to watch over our Craft.Fraternally,R. W. Bro. Clair BrackenD.D.G.M.
