To the members of Cannon Memorial Lodge Let me begin by saying, thank you, for the interest that many of you have shown this year, since the new Officers have moved to their new duties...I am very impressed an realy feel that we are on our way to another great year. We did have to move our 1st. degree to a later date, due to weather, and we are receiving the District Deputy Grand Lecturer at our Second Stated. I am sure the School of Instruction will be just around the corner and we will be ready for that... one of my main concerns is to see you at lodge meetings. Attendance has been good, however, I would like to see it better! So, I  will save you a seat at our next meeting.Remember, "forget not the duties which you have heard so frequentlyinculcated and so forcibly recommended, in Masonry"...                                                             Yours in Masonry,                                                         Gene Pennell, PM,Master WB Richard Secoolish is now taking the position on the Left Hand of the Master. He will now be our new secretary and I hope that everyone will give him as much respect, and help as we have been able to give to WBro. Ken. Thanks Richard for being able to take over this job and we wish you all the success in the world. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for ever more. PSALM 133 "Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.  And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou?  And I said, a plumb-line.  Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel:  I will not again pass by them any more."  Amos vii. 7,8 "Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain; In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of windows be darkened; And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets; Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel be broken at the cistern.  Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."  Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.      Eccl. xii. 1-14
