At our first stated meeting in March we launched into a series of discussions on the article “Laudable Pursuit<\/strong>” published by the Knights of the North, a group of Masons discussing online, two booklets originally written by PGM Dwight Smith in the early 1960’s <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the years since its publication it has been featured on many websites including the “Freemasons for Dummies<\/a>” blog hosted by author and Brother Chris Hodapp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the original “Knights” who contributed to the article went on to write books, form new lodges, and even became the core founders of the Masonic Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll continue with part two of our discussion of some of the ideas contained in this publication at our first stated meeting in April. All brothers are invited to join us. A link to copies of the articles that we will be looking at are provided below for your convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
