Brethren,
T H E M A S T E R ’ S 1 First, giving all honor and praises to the
S T A T I O N
Great Architect of the Universe, the Giver
T H E E D I T O R ’ S 2
C O R N E R of all our good gifts and graces. I am

2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 heartily, the Brothers of Charles H.
T H E “ C R O S S O V E R ” 4 - 5 Wesley Lodge No. 147, for electing me
W R E A T H S A C R O S S 6 - 7 to the office of Worshipful Master. As I
A M E R I C A reflect and look at the year 1990, it was
J O L L Y J A M 8 - 1 0 the year I graduated from high school and
M L K D A Y P A R A D E 1 1 the year this lodge was chartered. The
great Architect of the Universe had already

Lodge No. 147. The theme for this year is “Unity” and is complemented in Psalms 133

W I S H E S T O O U R King James Version:
B E L O V E D B E L L S
“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
F O R Y O U R 1 9
dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the
I N F O R M A T I O N
blessing, even life for evermore.”
