In our efforts, other people in our community who have participated: the Motorcycle Club, Active Duty and Civilian Staff Members from Andersen Air Force Base; and Staff from Dededo Mayors Office. We also provided Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets to the less fortunate in our community. Additionally, we donated money to provide the children whose parents can not afford educational field trips. As a Group we provide maintenance and upkeep around the Bus Stop every month. Lastly, Members of all the Masonic Houses collected and donated money to pay for Mr. Jerry Guest’s funeral.

M A Y 1 — A U G U S T 3 1 , 2 0 1 6 THE PEER GAZETTE PAGE 9

I believe in God, the Grand Architect of the Universe.

The Alpha of the un-reckoned yesterdays, the Omega of the impenetrable tomorrows.

The Beginning and the Ending.

I believe in man, potentially God’s other self. Often faltering on his way upward,

but irrepressible in the urge to scale the spiritual Annapurna’s.

I believe in Free Masonry;

that corporate adventure in universal brotherhood, despising kinship with no child of the All Father.

I believe in Prince Hall Masonry;

a door of benevolence, securely tiled against the unworthy,

but open wide to men of good rapport, whether Aryan or Hottentots.

I believe in Masonic Vows;

the troths of true men, plighted to their better selves.

Latin phrases familiar to Scottish Rite Masons:

"Deus Meumque Jus"--God and My Right

"Spes Mea in Deo Est"--My Hope is in God "Laborare Est Orare"--To Work is to Worship

"Ordo ab Chao"--Order out of Chaos "Fiat Lux et Lux Fit"--Let there be Light and there is Light

"Lux e Tenebris"--Light out of Darkness

"Virtus Junxit Mors Non Separabit" (Whom virtue unites, death will not separate).

19th degree Grand Pontiff This degree proclaims the spiritual unity of all who believe in God and cherish the hope of immortality, no matter what religious leader they follow or what creed they profess. It is concerned primarily with the perennial conflict between light and darkness, good and evil, God and Satan. 20th degree Grand Master of All Symbolic Lodges; or, Master ad Vitam.
