Brothers and Friends, It gives me great pleasure to serve you and our fraternity as your Worshipful Master. I will occupy the seat that 150 other Masters have sat in over the years. I am truly humbled and appreciative for the honor that has been given to me. Of course I did not do this alone and I would like to thank all of the brothers for whom have guided me along the way. I know together we will continue the heritage that our fore brothers established for us. I have been asked what freemasonry has done for me. Well, it has taught me that every man should have a religion of his own and be faithful to it in every thought, word and deed. It has lead me to understand that subduing our passions for the betterment of mankind is why we have been put here on this earth and to learn to love my GOD and fellowman, and to try to shun all evil. To me Freemasonry is just one more form of dedication to GOD and service to mankind. As your 151st Master I look forward to leading you to a fun-filled year, which will allow us further education in our craft. With your help we will have a very productive and fulfilling year! Sincerely and Fraternally, W:. Richard W. James |
