Note: Sebasticook Lodge, has at the present time the 12^th Masonic District Traveling Gavel. Lets make the effort to get it at their next Stated meeting the 20^th of October; It takes at least 5 (five) Brothers to take possession of it, a number of Lodges are after it so it may take more then five of our members.

From Your Secretary: Please help me keep the records straight by informing me of any change of address, change of status, etc. It also helps if you send your dues payments in early so that I do not have the extra burden of chasing delinquent members. … 2006 Dues Cards are available…. I am basically a lazy person and I do not want to be required to sent out correspondence to members regarding past due payments. Please have the courtesy to answer any correspondence that I send so there is no duplication of effort. Thank you to the Brethren who enclosed a donation along with their dues. If you need an application to give to someone you feel might like to join the craft, please obtain one from the Secretary or any of the Officers.

We must adjust to changing times and

Still hold to unchanging principles.

Wisdom

A Persian king wanted to teach his four sons never to make rash judgments. So he told the eldest to go in winter to see a mango tree, the next to go in spring, the third in summer and the youngest in the fall.

After the last son had returned from his autumn visit, the king called them together to describe what they had observed.

"It looks like a burnt old stump" said the oldest. "No," said the second, "it is lacy green." The third described it as "beautiful as a rose." The youngest said, "No, its fruit is like a pear."

"Each is right," said the king, "for each of you saw the tree in a different season."

Perspective (‘con’t)

Before I met my wife, I’d never fallen in love,

Though I’d stepped in it a few times.

From the old records:

Oct. 16, 1850. "Voted that we meet precisely at three o’clock and open at that time. Voted that lodge meet on Saturday evenings for business & work."

Oct. 2, 1856, B. F. Cunningham "was duly initiated as an Entered Apprentice" and "passed to the degree of Fellow Craft".
