Here was located in the fall of 1849 tne first Masonic and Odd Fellows Joint Relief Hospital and placed in charge of those noble Pioneer Brethren, Doctors John F. Morse and J. D. B. Stillman, whose personal sacrifices have long since been rewarded in the "Celestial Grand Lodge above where the Supreme Grand Master forever presides." Here came the first

Is there no physician there?" and receive the joyful answer, "Weep not, behold the Lion of the Tribe of Judah hath prevailed," and "Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth" of Masonry proved the strength of the "Mystic Tie."

THE CROWN OF OUR GLORY AND PRIDE OF THE CRAFT, AT DECOTO, ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
Corner Stone laid by the M. W. Grand Lodge of F. and A. M. of California on Oct. 14, 1896, by M. W. Edward Myers Preston, Grand Master, who labored seven long years as Chairman of the Committee and of the Board of Trustees to attain this noble object.
It was dedicated by the M. W. Grand Lodge of F. and A. M. of California on Oct. 12, 1898, by M. W. Thomas Flint, Jr., M. W. Grand Master. Its Corner Stone a Pressed Stone and its Cap Stone a Flint, in commencing and completing this noble monument and landmark of Cali. fornia Masons' charity. As it was in the beginning so it was in the dedication, that W. Bro. Jacob Voorsanger, as Grand Orator, charmed and delighted the hearts of all the thousands of the Craft, there assembled, their wives, daughters and sisters with his wonderful eloquence, and the hundreds of Masonic Veterans that were there present rejoiced in the realization of their efforts for nearly fifty long years of faith and hope. The Master Mason's trowel was plated with gold. The Keystone of the Arch blazed forth with "I am that I am," like the search-light of the sun in
became a telegraph pole radiant with and the Double Headed Eagle singing and proclaiming Charity's watchwords, Deus Meumque Jus God and my right. At the laying of the Corner Stone Alameda Lodge No. 167, F. and A. M., with W. Bro. Edwin Whipple as Master, acted the part of host as when David brought up the Ark of the House of the Lord into the City of David, "And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread and a good piece of flesh and a flagon of wine." In this case coffee was substituted for the wine. Four P's have supplied the Home with another P., for the five points, Preston, Pierce, Patton, Peabody and Plenty. But it was found necessary to have some Aikins there in order to administer relief as

THE GRAND BANNER OF THE MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST.
It was designed by Bro. Edwin A. Sherman, 33, the Right Venerable Grand Secretary. It is of blue silk and was painted by W. Bro. James T. Gardner, Past Master of Live Oak Lodge No 61, F. and A. M of Oakland, member of this Association. On the front are painted the portraits of W. Bro. Joseph Hull, the first Master Masonic Lodge on the Pacific Coast, Multnomah Lodge No. i, at Oregon City, Oregon, on Sept. n, 1848: M. W. Jonathan D. Stevenson, the first Grand Master of California; M. W. Benjamin Jennings, the first Grand Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of California, and the first Grand Master of Oregon; M. W. Christopher Taylor, 33, the first to be initiated, passed and raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason on the Pacific Coast by W. Bro. Joseph Hull, on Sept. ir, 1848, the date of receiving the Charter and organizing Multnomah Lodge, and the Twenty-Seventh Grand Master of Oregon; and also of W. Bro. Henry F. Williams, P. M., the first petitioner for the degrees of Masonry, the oldest Mason made in California, the present Most Venerable Grand President of the Masonic Veteran Association of the Pacific Coast. In the center is its Great Seal in gold, and between all the words, "Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations, ask thy fathers and they will show " On the reverse is the thee, thy elders, and they will teach thee title, and the States and Countries of its jurisdiction in Old English handsomely lettered in gold. The Grand Banner is heavily trimmed with the finest gold bullion fringe and tassels. At the top of the staff a gilt eagle from whose beak is suspended a silver trowel and in his dexter claw a silver compass, and in the left a silver square. The Banner was made and trimmed (and her first effort in that line) by Mrs. Edwin A. Sherman, the wife ol the R. V. Grand Secretary, as her contribution. It cost about $300.00 and the money was contributed by the
,
Cal., a to open a
members throughout its broad jurisdiction. It was duly consecrated with imposing ceremonies
in California Lodge No i, F. and A. M., in the Masonic Temple, in San Francisco, Cal., on August 20, 1891, in the presence of nearly seven hundred Master Masons. W. Bro. Joseph Hull, P. M., M. W. Jonathan I>. Stevenson, P. G. M., and W. Bro. Henry F. Williams, P. M., and our present M. V. Grand President were crowned with laurel wreaths under it at that time. It was taken by the R. V. Grand Secretary, who was accompanied by W. Bro. Joseph Hull, to Dayton, Oiegon and there, under it, in the home of W. Bro. Geo. K Detmering, the Master of Lafayette Ledge No. 3. on Sept. 9, 1891 M. W. Christopher Taylor, the first Mason made on the Pacific Coast, was under it also crowned with laurel by W. Bro. Hull, who had initiated, passed and raised him to the Sublime Degree ot Master Mason forty three years before at Oregon City and during all that time they had never met each other. The Banner was next displayed in the Hall of Lafayette Lodge No. 3, at Lafayette, Oregon, and in Multnomah Lodge No. i, at Oregon City, on the Forty-third Anniversary of its Organization, Sept. ir, 1891, when there was a very large attendance. There were present Bro. Joseph Hull, its first Master; Bro. Wm. B. Daugherty, its first Senior Warden; Bro. Peter G. Stewart, its first Senior Deacon; and Bro. Joseph Kellogg, who with his father, Orrin Kellogg, had brought the Charter of that Lodge from Missouri across the plains in 1848. Bro. Joseph
The Banner was next displayed in Harmony Lodge No. 12, at Portland, in the presence of a large number of Grand Lodge Officers and Brethren who gave a cordial welcome to the Banner Party. It was then taken to Temple Lodge No. 7, at Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia River, and warmly greeted After its return to California it was taken to Denver, Colorado, and displayed in the Temple during the Triennial Conclave of Knights Templar and when the Masonic Veteran Association of the United States was in session when the Right Venerable Grand Secretary thereof was elected National President under the Constitution which he had drafted, by direction of that body when first convened at Washington City. D. C., in October, 1889, of which he was one of the founders at that time and elected Vice-President for the Pacific Coast Division. It has been displayed in public processions of the Grand Lodge of California, at the laying of corner stones and dedication of the Masonic Home at Decoto. Alameda County, California. The office of Grand Standard Bearer will always be filled by a member of Multnomah Lodge No. i, at Oregon City, Oregon, where the first altar and fires of Masonry were erected and set aglow upon the Pacific Coast and which will never cease to spread their light as long as the fiery orb of day shall burn in the heavens which shines for all, upon land or sea, and from which the skilful navigator shall ever take his observations of it while persuing the trackless paths of the rolling seas.

Grand
33, Right Venerable
Secretary.
In the month of May, 1872, while on a visit to the Atlantic States and sojourning for a few days in the City of New York, we there met with several distinguished Masonic brethren,
SICKLES, McClÊNACHAN, TlSDALE, MACOY, MORIARTY, and who had recently, on January 25, 1872, organized the others, Masonic Veterans of the City of New York, and were exhibiting the badge or button of their society, which had just been made by the jeweler and with which they were highly pleased. We society was, what were its objects, the inquired what th qualifications of membership, and all that could be learned about it, as it was the first time that we had heard the term "veterans" as applied to a Masonic organization. We learned that the qualifications were of being a Master Mason of twentyone years, in good standing at the time of making application,
its objects were sociability and the cultivation of acquaintance, with smoking the pipe of fraternity as incense to the presiding deity of good fellowship, and once a year to have a
and
grand reunion and a banquet with all "ye olden times" ingredients, and incidentally to gather historical and biographical matter, but in the main to have a good time. The idea struck us at once, that it would be a wise thing to organize a Masonic Veteran Association for the Pacific Coast, on a broader scale, more beneficial and more useful to the Craft in general, than having an organization of what would eventually become merely an old men's fraternal and social

club; and the more we thought of it, the more we were convinced, not only of the practicability, but that it was a duty devolving upon every pioneer Mason to unite and assist in the
organizing and maintaining of a historical, biographical, and

fraternal organization within the bosom of the Craft upon the Pacific Coast, which had a grander field for its work than any
found east of the Rocky Mountains; for the pioneers of Masonry and founders of new States and Territories were still living, well known to each other, and with a living history totally different and unknown to those of the older States of the Union, whose fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers, whose experiences were somewhat similar to our own, had passed awa} long before the present generation was born. We returned to California and Nevada, and to California again, and our public and private duties having demanded our time and attention, we were unable for several years to undertake the contemplated movement for an organization of the desired character.

The Constitution having been so frequently amended to meet the exigencies and changed conditions of the times, that it bears but little resemblance to the original; and we have had to "live and learn," and adapt our methods as practical experience has rendered the same necessary, and the Constitution and By-Laws as now govern the Association will be found These changes have been complete under its proper head. rendered necessary on account of its expansion and growth, and its Grand Jurisdiction being so wide and extensive as to embrace all the territory whose waters flow into the Pacific Ocean from Alaska to the Isthmus of Panama, embracing the following States and Territories and Countries: California,

In the visitation to Lodges, its members everywhere receive that due fraternal attention and courtesy which their merits deserve, and where the work of the Master and officers of a Lodge is well performed, which they have been invited to witness, just praise and commendation is given by these veterans of the Craft, who are qualified to judge.

its
members in their own unostentations manner, and in nowise interfering with the designs drawn upon the trestle boards of the Master and Wardens who carry forward the work
entrusted to their charge. Its material is of the very best in the land, from the humblest Brother who toils with his hands, to the most eminent
and distinguished statesmen, jurists, professional men, manufacturers and merchants, officers and men in various capacities in the United States Army and Navy, who are all upon the Masonic level and borne upon the rolls of the Craftsmen of the various Grand Lodge Jurisdictions embraced within the Grand Jurisdiction of the MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. No grander body of men and Masons exists upon the face of the earth, than our "Stiver Grays," our beloved brethren of this Association. Its mighty topotrestle-board corrugated with mountains and valleys, graphical with thousands of Masters and Craftsmen working out the
designs of the Grand Architect of the Universe upon it, furnishes the plans of a stupendous Masonic Temple, where
hundreds of thousands of the "Brethren of the Mystic Tie" can live, labor, love, and dwell in the Golden Empire of Fraternity on the western slope of the American Continent. There are now upon its roll nearly 1,000 living of Active and Honorary members, of whom one-fourth are Grand and Past
Grand Masters,

Not less than 150 of its Active members have been added to it from the beginning, whose admission fees have been paid by the R. V. Grand Secretary out of his salary, and he is the sole creditor of the Association. It may here be mentioned that he assisted in the temporary organization of the National Masonic Veteran Association of the United States at Washington, D.
