West Virginia Masonic History
West Virginia became a new state on June 20, 1863. Six months later, Fairmont Lodge No. 9 issued a call for other lodges to meet at Grafton on December 28th, to consider the needs of the fraternity. The West Virginia Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons was formed at this meeting, and its first communication was held shortly thereafter on May 10, 1865 in Wheeling. Today there are 136 Masonic lodges scattered throughout the state with approximately 17,000 members.
Did You Know?
Arthur Ingram Boreman, son of Kenner Seaton Boreham and Sarah Ingram Boreham, the first governor of West Virginia, was born in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.
Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light; and
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so Much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying that we are born to eternal Life.
Amen.
A Bag of Tools
Isn’t it strange that princes and kings,
And clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
And common people like you and me
Are builders for eternity?
Each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass, a book of rules;
And each must make, ere life is flown
A stumbling block or a steppingstone.
