To Masons he is the builder ofthe Temple. He is one of our original Grand Masters, a wise and goodking who built the resting place of the ark of thecovenant. We are familiar with the Hollywoodor simplified version but are not aware of thehistory and other accomplishments of this notablefigure.Solomon was the second son of the greatKing David and Bathsheba. He ruled the UnitedKingdoms of Israel and Judea taking the throneat a young age, about twelve years old, in approximately967 B.C.E. He ruled for 40 yearsbefore his death. His rule of four decades wasthe longest of any Jewish king and he was onlyone of three to rule over both Judea and Israel.Solomon also figures prominently in many ofthe Western traditions. He of course plays aprominent role in the Judeo-Christian traditionGrand Chaplain David R.

David RitchieGrand Chaplainbut also in the Islamic and Baha'i faiths as well. In Islam, Solomon orSulaiman. Sulaiman was the second son of Dawud and constructedthe Temple in Jerusalem. He is seen as a major prophet. In the Baha'ifaith Solomon is a minor prophet who brought God's intentions to thepeople of his time.The Ark of the Covenant which contained the Ten Commandmentsand other relics from the time of Moses, had traveled with the peopleof Israel for centuries and was kept in the tabernacle or tent. David,Solomon's father, had promised God to build a structure in which theArk would be stored. God told David that because David had killed somany in battle that not David, but one of his sons, would be set uponthe throne of Israel and that he would build the temple. That son wasthe twelve year old Solomon, not one of his older brothers.Upon David's death Solomon was to be anointed king. One nightGod appeared to the young king in a dream and told Solomon thathe would grant him anything he desired. Solomon's request, “ . . .and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in. Andthy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, agreat people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. Givetherefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, thatI may discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this thyso great a people?" His plea for wisdom so pleased God that it wasgranted. Not being for peace, or riches, or military might, or long lifeGod also blessed Solomon with these things as well.Solomon had inherited a great military empire from his father butSolomon's reign was known as one of the longest times of peace. Wisemen and rulers of this time traveled in search of knowledge and duringthe reign of Solomon they came to Jerusalem. Those who studied thelaw came to observe him pass fair judgement on those who appearedbefore him. Those who studied the heavens and nature came to hiscourt to discuss what had been observed around the known world.Theologians came to his court to discuss religion and philosophy.Rulers from distant lands came to study his rule and the governanceof his people, the most famous of these was the Queen of Sheba.Solomon was also a writer. He is credited with multiple volumes ofverse as well as the “wisdom writings.” These wisdom writings included,the books of Proverbs, Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes, allfound in the Judeo-Christian Sacred Book of Laws.After the Temple was completed Solomon began work on hispalace. The Temple taking seven years to complete, his palace wouldtake seventeen. These works provided for a strong trade economy.The strength of this strong trade economy lead to many treaties andtrade agreements with not only neighboring countries but also thoseat some distance. The Queen of Sheba traveled over 1,000 miles togain wisdom and set up trade. It was during the reign of Solomon thatmany of the trade routes came through Jerusalem.Solomon cemented many of these agreements through marriage,and tradition has it that he had over 700 wives and 300 concubines,most from foreign lands. Solomon was also famous for his horses. Ata time when donkeys and camels were more affordable, more durable,and more practical Solomon owned over 12,000 horses. His stableswere an architectural wonder.Solomon whose plea for wisdom made him great, Solomon whosecourt was a place for the sharing of ideas, Solomon the builder of thetemple which came to bear his name was a fitting Grand Master ofour Craft.Advertising rates upon request.

Reedsburg Lodge’s Famous “Chicken Pies”Prove to be Good Fundraiser for the LodgeBy Rich RyghBro. Robert Anderson the originatorof the famous Masonic“Chicken Pie” and his crew fromReedsburg Lodge No. 79 met atthe United Methodist Churchkitchen and fellowship hall onFeb. 16, to assemble 1,050 of thechicken pies.Question: My Question is in boththe 2nd and 3rd degrees when weteach the new brother the Passgrip, we tell him that it should beSyllabled. (1998 Blue Book pg 81line 26 and pg 116 line 7) Wedon’t, we just pronounce it out.Why don’t we syllable it?Bro. LesAnswer: You are taking theabove statement out of context. Itis important to read the entire partof the ritual referring to these particularmodes of recognition. Goback a few lines to line 22 onpage 81 in the FC degree and toline 4 on page 116 in the MM degree.If using the new version ofthe cipher, the part starts on page84, line 32 and ends on page 85,line 2 for the FC degree, and page126, lines 14 through 18 for theMM degree.It is explained in this part of theThe chicken pie sales haveproven to be a good fundraisingevent for the lodge going back tofall of 1993 when Bro.

Wine and non-alcoholic beverageswill be served.Ask Hiram ?askhiram@wisc-freemasonry.orgritual that these two passes are notdone by syllable unless they aregiven outside of the qualificationsspecified. In other words, there isno need to syllable either one, ifthey are given in the lodge or to afamiliar officer of the lodge. Notbeing able to meet those qualifications,would require syllabling.The qualifications specified arealways met, and you will neverhear the passes given by syllablein a Wisconsin Lodge, nor will itbe done by syllable at the GrandLodge Annual Communication.The pass is given as it was receivedwhile holding the pass gripof the degree at the Altar. This isthe instruction given in the ritual.The password is usually whisperedin the ear when it is given, and itis spoken by the visitor not by theBrother asking for it. You mustalso be assured that the Brotherasking for it is entitled to receiveand fine tuned the recipe over theyears. He says the secret to theflavor is in the herbs and spices inthe gravy. The pies are all meatwith an abundance of chicken andgravy and a flaky top crust.The chicken pies were originally9” deep dish pies and served at adinner hosted annually by theLodge. The pies were made on aSaturday and served at their dinneron Sunday. By request extrapies were made to sell to the publicas well, in their biggest yearthey produced and sold 400 of thepies.The Brethren decided in 2000to just make and sell the pies andnot host the dinner, and the demandgrew. Bro. Doug Bentleyjoined Bro. Anderson as co-chairmanin 2008. They switched tothe present day 6” deep dish pies,an individual serving, in 2010.Advance orders are taken andmost pies are sold before they aremade. They have quickly sold outthe last two years.The Lodge purchases the ingredientsfrom Reedsburg IGA (VillageMarket). The IGA allows theLodge to use their freezers and allowsthe Lodge to distribute theirorders from the store. The piesare made on a Saturday, quickfrozen and distributed on the followingday.The cost of the pies is $4.00 ofwhich the Lodge makes a profit ofabout $1.90. The profits go towardhigh school scholarships,other charities and Lodge operations.Bro. Doug Bentley proudlydisplays a finished “ChickenPie”. The Brethren produced1050 pies on Saturday, Feb.16 and they were distributedon Sunday Feb. 17.See photos on page 8it, otherwise, syllabling it might bein order.Your question does bring up aninteresting point. Wisconsin Masonsare in trouble if they everneed to give the pass by syllable.It is never taught in our lodges orduring degree posting. This is asensitive and private part of ourwork so I will not elaborate onhow it is done, but I will recommendto the Grand Lecturer thateducation in this area could bebeneficial and possibly appropriatefor the members of the Fraternity.Please send your questions toaskhiram@wisc-freemasonry.orgor mail your question to theGrand Lodge Office, c/o AskHiram, 36275 Sunset Drive,Dousman, WI 53118, and Bro.Hiram will receive them.NOTES FROM THE GRAND LECTURERBy Brother Kenneth C. GorgenMy Brothers,This is a busy time for the lodges and the District Lecturers in attendingand holding schools of instruction. I have attended severalschools and have discovered some minor partsof the ritual that are not only rarely used, buthave become almost non-existent in ourlodges; almost to the point of being so foreignthat it is never learned. Yet, these parts have aplace in the ritual and in the lodge. I’m talkingabout the “purge”, “taking of the pass”, andpresenting and retiring the Flag of the UnitedStates of America.To purge a lodge meeting means to assurethe Master that all Brothers within the tiledlodge room are entitled to be there. Usually theSenior Warden knows all of the seatedBrethren, and, therefore, purging is not necessary.But, what about those times when yousee a strange face and just assume he is okay to be in the room.Senior Wardens must be absolutely sure, because the Master iscounting on you. At his installation, the Master of the lodge promisedthat no visitors shall be received into his lodge without producingproper credentials and satisfying him as to his privilege tobe there. So Bro. Senior Warden, when he asks for your satisfactionthat all present are entitled to be there, do not say you are satisfiedunless you are 100% sure, and don’t be afraid to say, “I amnot satisfied”. The Master and your fellow lodge brothers are countingon you.If there is an unknown Brother who cannot be vouched for inthe lodge, the cipher explains that a paid up dues card is satisfactoryproof for admittance. If no dues card is available or the visitor is anEA or FC, he must be removed from the lodge room for examination.Hopefully there is a knowledgeable Brother in attendance toperform the examination. It does not need to be anything lengthy,but you need to assure yourself that the visitor is a Mason, and alwaysbe courteous assuming that he is a Brother.Another lost part of the ritual is the taking of the pass. This is afun thing to do in lodge, and it helps refresh the memory of aBrother that has been absent for a long period of time. Take thepass from the sideliners only after the Senior Warden is satisfiedthat all present are entitled to sit in the lodge, and then the Mastercan commence with the ceremony.The last long lost and almost forgotten ceremony is the presentingand retiring of the Flag of the United States of America. Whata shame that we would not periodically give the Flag the honor itdeserves. I have yet to see a lodge take the initiative to do this onits own. If your lodge does it on a regular basis, my hat’s off to you.Bringing the Flag in with all the Brothers saluting it as it makes itway to the East is something to behold, and retiring it at the endof the evening is like laying it to rest until we meet again. What agreat ceremony to honor our symbol of freedom! I would like tosee this done at every lodge meeting. It takes little effort to do theceremony properly, and will give a nice kickoff to the start of themeeting.Practice these three ceremonies as an education program for theevening. Get some of the Brothers out of the chairs and have themhelp. The more these parts are used, the more they become secondnature to us. The decision to put the three ceremonies into beingpart of the schools of instruction was originally implemented becauseof the plan to cover all of the ritual over a three-year period.I am happy they were included so that we would not lose sight oftheir existence.I was fortunate to be at one school and watch a lodge do an excellentjob of bringing in the Flag and retiring it. Yet, at otherschools it was evident that the Brothers did not even try to learnthis important ceremony. It is difficult to bring in the Flag properlywhen the ritual is being held in one hand for reading and at thesame time handling a rod with the other hand.Please note the direction given in the Multiple Letter Cipher. Itis there as an aid to help our Brothers learn the work. It is notmeant to be used as a substitute for performing the work as aMason. Page ii of the old and new cipher explain it well with thefollowing admonition:I have watched many of our Brothers read directly out of the ciphernot only at the schools, but also in lodge meetings, whichmight include copies made in a larger type so it is easier to readfrom the officer’s station. My Brothers, this is not right and is notwhat was intended when this book was made. Get rid of that crutchand memorize the work. You will understand so much more of it.Burn or shred those illegal copies and learn the work, and they areillegal copies of a copyrighted text. There is a brand new cipherout, which is printed in a much larger type size. Get a copy forstudying only.As always, I encourage you to remain committed to your lodgeand to the ritual. Study it with dedication and devotion to becomea ritual leader and not a ritual reader in your Lodge. Meet thatgoal and you will be a motivating force for new candidates. Mentorthem with fierce abandon. Your lodge will be proud of your effortsand then we will all see more Light.Feedback and questions are always welcome.Contact Grand Lecturer Ken Gorgen atgrand_lecturer@wisc-freemasonry.org or 262-691-0859Kenneth C. GorgenGrand Lecturer“This cipher is NOT to be open during ANY portion of a Degree,Opening, Closing, or Examination; or at an Official Grand LodgeSchool of Instruction unless permitted by the Lecturer. Its use isfor a rehearsal or practice session only”.Support the Businessesthat Advertise in yourWisconsin Masonic JournalWISCONSIN MASONIC JOURNAL - MARCH 2013 - PAGE 3

More Than Just Pancakes at St. Croix LodgeBy Bro. Milt HelmerThe people who visited St.Croix Lodge No. 56 in Hudson onSaturday, February 2, discoveredmore than just pancakes at theirannual fundraising breakfast.Sure, the Fraternal Brotherswere busy with the usual WesternWisconsin breakfast fare of pancakes,eggs, ham and luscioussausage gravy and biscuits. But allduring the chilly February morningthere was a warm sense of community.A sense of sharing andvisiting with neighbors that is fartoo rare in this fast paced life.There were young families huddledtogether enjoying quality familytime. Others discovered thejoys of just being with neighborsand friends, visited and got caughtup on the goings on in their world.The pancake breakfast is justone of the many events to markthe 24th annual Hot Air Affair inHudson. The weather was beautiful;cold, crisp and sunny with justenough of a breeze to carry peoplewith an adventurous spirit intheir hot air balloons to loftyheights over the city of Hudson.Among the many to enjoy thewarm and cozy family atmospherewas a gentleman from New Richmond.A member of a photo club,he had just invested in a newNikon camera and was takingphotos of the colorful balloons asthey rose quietly in the sky.A pair of bird watching enthusiastshuddled in rapt attention totheir other hobby of jigsaw puzzles.Ellen Capecchi of Inver GroveHeights, Minn., had seen the adin the papers and invited a friendto join her. Ellen felt a connectionto the fraternal society. Her greatgrandfather was in the first charteredKnights of Pythias Chapter.Ms. Cappechi showed her 100year old pendent she proudlywore around her neck to St. CroixMaster Milton Cardoso. She hadjust presented the Lodge with anantique tea cup and saucer thatcarried the Order of the EasternStar emblem. Her great grandfather,Frank Storms was part of thegreat Alaska Gold Rush. Youcould see the pride in her eyes asshe talked about her rich familyheritage.According to Cappechi, the fraternalorder of the Knights ofPythias and its members are dedicatedto universal peace throughunderstanding.The order wasfounded in Washington D.C. inFebruary of 1864 and embraces2,000 subordinate lodges in theUnited States and Canada. Theprimary objective of fraternal organizationsis to promote friendshipamong men and relievesuffering. The distinguishing principlesof the Order of the KnightPythias are “Friendship, Charityand Benevolence.”On this chilly day in February,the warmth of friendship and fellowshipwas quite evident in Hudson,Wisconsin.Ben Kellogg, a new petitioner at the Hudson Lodge, is shownlearning the fine are of making pancakes at the HudsonLodge’s annual pancake breakfast on February 2. His enteredapprentice degree was conferred on February 19.Master Milton Cardosa of St. Croix Lodge No. 56 is shownaccepting a gift of an antique tea cup and saucer to the lodgefrom Ellen Cappechi of Inver Grove Heights.
