ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED SCOT- TISH RITE. uesday—NMithras Lodge of Perfec- assembly: HRLE and in’ (GRAND Master of M kerson has inaugurated a drive within the Masonic fraternity to raise $2.000,000 for the erection of the pro- posed United Masonic Temple on Temple Heights, within the City of Washington. This drive began April 16 and will continue throughout the month. Its purpose and the reasons for it have been clearly set forth, with illustrations, in a circular issued for the purpose by the special com- mittee in charge, which is headed by Eugene E. Thompson, president of the Masters’ Association of 1925, who has as his assistants men designated by the 44 Masonic lodges of this jurisdiction. he Grand Master's slogan for the drive is “That which the Masons of Washington will to do, that they do.” $1,003,000 has al- ready been pledged, the circular states, but all the subscriptions have not been paid. The impression that if each Mason subscribed $100 the de- sired amount would be attained, the circular states, is not correct. The present campaign, therefore, is to col- lect the subscriptions already pledged and to raise at least $1,000,000 more. The Masters' Association consequent- 1y has planned a campaign whereby the site may be fully paid for and at least a nucleus raised for the erection of the new temple, which is to be a thing of unusual beauty. It is be- lieved that, in addition to the average contribution, some of the wealthier Masons of the city will make unusual donations, and thus it is hoped to be able to start work on the new struc- ture, completion of which probably will require considerable time. The Spring class of the Scottish Rite bodies, which started their re- union January 20, with the fourth degree, will complete the course in Albert Pike Consistory, M. R. S., with the thirty-second degree Tuesday evening. Rev. Dr. John C. Palmer will fill the station of Venerable Mas. ter of Kadosh, Melville D. Hensey, 32nd degree, will be high priest in the Zend invocations and Augustus Gum- pert, K. C. C. H., will direct the tableaux, while Frank E. Koch, K. C. C. H., assisted by First Lieut. Willlam J. Hope and Second Lieut. Melvin A. Wertz, K. C. C. H., will command the Albert Plke Camp Guard. The en- tire degree will be under the direc- tion of Charles B. Hanford, the dis- tinguished actor, who i§-directar of work of the bodies. Beginning May 26, the bodies of the Rite will hold their May reunion, when the gamut of the degrees will run on consecutive days, the 14th, 18th, 30th and 32nd degrees being ceremonially staged in full form, and will close Friday, May 29.
