The Old Black Shoes The old black shoes are looking glum As I pass the lobby door, What’s wrong with you? they seem to say,... We’re going out no more. We’ve taken not a single step, Not third or even first, And ne’er a sign we’ve seen you give, Has Masonry been cursed? It has, I said, by virus vile, We have to stay at home Until such time the plague has passed, Then once more we can roam. The Masons’ Halls are empty, Regalia put away, Gavels now stay silent, DCs hold no sway. Volumes of the Sacred Law On pedestals redundant, Now Brother Jim contacts his friends By social posts abundant. No handshake, word or secret sign, No friendly Festive Board No Tyler’s song to say Goodnight, No organ’s well-loved chord. Black shoes, I said, do not despair, Our Chain is firm and strong Our flag of love remains unfurled We’ll sing again our song. And though our Brethren may have passed To Grander Lodge Above, We’ll look upon their memories With everlasting Love; And in their name, we’ll offer help And soothe the burdened heart; We’ll comfort those who are distressed, Thus Masons play their part. And when this crisis is resolved We’ll sing the old refrain, Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part, Happy to meet again. RW. Roger Pemberton PGM Province of Shropshire.
Here is a text of the latest reminder email from the Grand Secretary regarding cancellations. "Simply making sure that everyone is aware. Thank you March 26, 2020 (Thursday) (7:30 PM)... MLOP- Regular- (Mctn) Further to my communication of March 12 and the ever evolving nature of the COVID-19 spread within Canada, after much consideration I deem it necessary to cancel all Scottish Rite Meetings, Activities, and Events (other than by teleconference) within Canada for an indefinite period of time effective immediately. Please advise your members that no Scottish Rite Meeting, Activity, or Event (other than by teleconference) is to take place until further notice. Valley of Moncton A & ASR Grand Secretary/Registrar"
This story is a grave one in light of the current circumstances but it is one about a hospital with connections to our order. https://www.cnn.com//georgia-coronavirus-girl-h/index.html
Brethren all, Well wishes to you all and a reminder to check in on each other as we all face different circumstances in these unique and trying times. Some brotherly love, relief and truth will win each and every day and ensure that we come out the other end of this stronger than before.... Be safe, one and all.
