VIRGIL P. SMITH,

Grand Master.

$0W€FS€thn JULY 15, 1909.

To 7726 erfz‘:

Charity, the greatest of Masonic Virtues, has been at all times fully realized and exemplified by the
Masons of Kentucky, the monuments which are the fruits of this Virtue speak in thunder tones.

Shall we go forward or turn back?

We have, by our generosity and love, gotten the Widows and Orphans’ Home on safe and stable
ground. Shall we also place the Old Masons’ Home in the same condition? We have a good farm and
sufiicient means in hands of the Board of Directors to erect a building. When this money is used there
will be no funds available to use for care and maintenance of the inmates of this Home. Some means
must be provided or we must retreat in ignominy and shame and abandon this great and noble undertaking.

Shall we retreat? [Vener/

I want this letter read in every lodge in this jurisdiction at a stated meeting before the returns are
sent to Grand Secretary, and a vote taken and report made and sent with annual report on blank here-
with enclosed on this question.

Are you in favor of increasing the Assessment 25 cents per member, to be used for maintaining the
Old Masons’ Home?

I trust every lodge in this jurisdiction will make report.

Yours Fraternally,
VIRGIL P. SMITH,
Grand [Was/67‘.

 1._- Resolved by Lexington Lodge No. 1 F & A.-M. that it is very
desirable to this Lodge, desirable to the Community in which said Lodge

is located, and greatly to the interest of the Home for aged Masons in

Kentucky, and to the cause of Masonry in Lexington that said Home

should be located in Fayette County Kentucky, for the reasons herein-
after stated and perhaps for other reasons which may not be covered by
these resolutions;

First, it is desirable to this Lodge because it is believed that
it will greatly increase and revive an interest in Masonry in this
section of the State; and it will be desirable to this Community
because of the increased businessizill bring to it.

Secondly, the advantages to the Home will be the central location
at Lexington, its easy access by excellent railroad connections from
every part of the State, its location in a quiet, orderly and thrifty
eommunity, in the very heart of the richest agricultural region of the
State, and where its inmates will be subject to the wholesome influence
of a surrounding population of culture and intelligence.

‘Resolved, that the master of texington Lodge No. 1 R. & A. M. be
and g: is hereby rmanssted to appoint a Committee in behalf of this
Lodge to confer with the committee of the Grard Lodge having the
location of said Home in charge, and that said committee be instructed
to confer with Devotion Lodge Committee and the committee already
appointed to this end by the Chamber of Commerce of fiexington, Ky. to

use all honorable and proper means to secure the location of said Home

in Fayette County Kentucky.
