Buried in the obscure fragments of a Greek lyric poet from the sixth century BC is the following tantalising line: “to be straighter than the compasses, rule and square”
For 2018 Prestonian Lecturer Christopher Noon, this is the earliest surviving literary example expressing masonic principles and encoded in masonic metaphors.

Hello Brethren,
First- I would like to remind all brethren that we will be having our District Wayfarers meeting starting at 6:15 pm before our District School of Instruction starting at 7:30 pm. Also that these events will be held at Springfield-Hanby Lodge No. 767.
Secondly- A reminder to all 2019 prospective Worshipful Masters, that your 2019 Lodge Agenda and Lodge Budget are due into me by this meeting for review. Thank you.
And now; Attached is a message from our School of Instruction Principal, Brother David R. Lewis PM.
Reminder school meets every Thursday (except the first Thursday of the month). For the month of September we will meet at Springfield-Hanby Lodge at 7:30 pm. All elected and appointed officers should be in attendance for continuing practice both Ritually and Mechanically.
Also I would like to remind all new candidates that you too are welcome and encouraged to join us at school where you can learn your Proficiency and meet many of your other brethren for some camaraderie.
Hope to see you there,
S & F,
David J. Coffman
District Deputy Grand Master

Brethren, this coming Thursday is another School of
Instruction session, and ONE OF FIVE LEFT
BEFORE THE DEADLINE TO GET CERTIFIED!
Remember that we meet at Springfield Masonic
Lodge, 400 W. Woodbine Ave., Springfield, at 7:30 pm. Those wishing to schedule a sitting rehearsal and/or a certification on the floor should email me pretty darn soon so that I can accommodate you. On the same note, if you are hankering to go for a certification on the floor, you better let your buds in your Lodge know, as they should be coming out to school and supporting you by filling the necessary chairs.
I stress that School is not just for the elective officers of you Lodge, but it is for EVERY Mason in the District! Appointed officers, you should be there! Master Masons, join us! EA’s and FC’s, come see what we’re about, and get involved in the Fraternity.
And on a different topic, there will be a Wayfarers meeting on the same night (September 20th) as school. It starts at 6:15 pm, and there is always discussion on different District topics that will impact all of us.
See you this Thursday!
S&F,
Dave Lewis
Principal
