Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by RW Bro Walter H. Brown, Past Grand Orator of the GL of IL, and is brought to us by WBro Michael Blum, DRI 14th ME and PM of Solar Star #14, Bath ME. The “furthermores” which we took while kneeling at the Masonic altar with our hands resting on the Holy Bible, square, and compasses constitute the finest set of guidelines ever compiled by the mind of men. One sometimes wonders if some of our brethren leave some of their furthermores lying there on the altar instead of taking them into their lives – incorporating them into their everyday living. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by Bro Sumner G. Whittier, Former Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, Director of the VA under President Eisenhower, and member of Galilean Lodge, Everett MA, and is brought to us by MW Bro Russ Charvonia, PGM - CA. Here we find a condensation of a speech Bro Sumner gave in 1961 at the Feast of St. John the Evangelist, which marked the 175th anniversary of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey. While these remarks were given some sixty five years ago, they might have been from these very days of ours. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Rev Thomas Sherrard Roy, PGM - MA, and is brought to us by MW Bro Russ Charvonia, PGM - CA. Five delegates from Massachusetts were members of the Second Continental Congress which adopted the Declaration of Independence and signed that document. They were John and Samuel Adams, Eibridge Gerry, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine. While Masonic membership has been claimed for Elbridge Gerry, a claim of doubtful validity, the only Massachusetts Masons we can be sure of were John Hancock and Robert Treat Paine. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Carl Claudy, and is brought to us by VW Bro Ambrose Dawson, DEI 14th ME. The Standard Dictionary defines education as “the systematic cultivation of the normal powers of the intellect, feeling and conduct, so as to render them efficient in some particular form of living, or for life in general.” Here we find an excellent discussion of how Freemasonry fits into this context. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode is a condensation of an address by the late RW Bro. Erford W. Poole of Massachusetts, and was furnished to The Masonic Service Association by MW Brother Thomas A. Booth, past grand master of Masons in Massachusetts, and is brought to us by WBro Michael Blum, DRI - 14th ME and PM of Solar Star #14 ME. In any study of the life of Washington, one is amazed at the fact that seldom in any history or biography, other than those purely Masonic, is it recorded that the Father of Our Country was a member of the Craft. In this approach to the 250th birthday celebration, let us pay additional homage to our brother, and father of these United States. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
