Had to post this when i saw it
New look for the Lodge Room
Calvin Coolidge once said:
“It has not been my fortune to know very much of Freemasonry, but I have had the great fortune to know many Freemasons and have been able in that way, judge the Tree by its Fruit. I know of your high ideals. I have seen that you hold your meetings in the presence of the open Bible, and I know that men who observe that formality have high sentiments of citizenship, of worth, and character. That is the strength of our Commonwealth and our Nation.”
Virtues we live by
We as Masons live by Virtues that we incorporate into our everyday lives. The four Cardinal Virtues which are Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice and represent the foundation of natural morality. At the end of the day, living by the Cardinal Virtues will bring each of us honor, and a reputation that is untarnished. Alternatively, failing to heed the teachings of these virtues can lead to a life of sadness, one where we are left trying to rebuild that which we once had. For our Lodges, as long as we govern ourselves by using the Cardinal Virtues as a guide, then we will continue to stand the test of time. We will, through our actions, ensure that the detractors of Freemasonry are overshadowed by the truth of Freemasonry. These Four Cardinal Virtues of Freemasonry provide a framework for daily living and serve as a guide for our relationship with God and our fellow man. As new Masons we must begin to develop and strengthen these virtues, which will help us grow and develop into better men. As experienced Masons, we should constantly remind ourselves of these virtues and their importance in our lives.

Old Building of National Lodge #589 coming down. So sad to see a District Icon being torn down.
More 21st District News:
Ashlar Lodge # 639 to merge with Summit Lodge #213.
Brethren, In this topsy-turvey world where all that is good is now bad, and all that is bad is now good, it’s no wonder that the rolls of Freemasonry are diminishing and Lodge’s are shutting down and merging. Such is the case with Ashlar Lodge #639. Ashlar Lodge #639 was Constituted in 1917 and through the years had grown to 600 members. They began in Newburg Heights. They then moved in with Brecksville Lodge. After a time there, they moved to Bedford Masonic Temple. They then moved to Maple Heights Temple where they began their famous Corned Beef Dinner. Maple Heights Temple building could not handle the Dinner. They then asked Summit Lodge if they could hold it at Summit Lodge and a relationship began. Their Corned Beef Dinners have seen numbers at 260. THAT’S a lot of work folks. They then became a tenant at Summit Temple and became our sister Lodge at Summit Temple. It’s very sad to see a Lodge give up its Charter. Ashlar Lodge is down to 65 members now and has gone through the process of merging with Summit Lodge. The Charities of Ashlar Lodge and upcoming events that have been planned will be carried out by Summit Lodge. The process will become final on April 17, 2025. Pictured below are the members that attended the final Ashlar Lodge meeting held on the 9th of April. Summit Lodge #213 will receive all of the members of Ashlar Lodge with open arms.
Did not know this. It makes sense now.
