Lodge Stirling Royal Arch No. 76 attracted a
large number of Brethren despite their regular meeting falling on Easter
Monday.
Instead of a regular degree, the Lodge
organised a unique opportunity to see and hear all four tracing board
lectures from Scottish Craft Freemasonry.
Bro. Russell Scott, IPM of Lodge Ladywell No.
1474 kicked off the evening with an superb Entered Apprentice Tracing
Board.
The Lodge was then passed and Bro. Mel Durbin,
IPM of Ldoge St. Andrew No. 199, gave the Fellowcraft Tracing Board
lecture that included floor working with columns and representative
steps.
After the Lodge was raised Bro. Allan Jarvie
Simpson, SM of Lodge Polmont No. 793, explained how he was presented
with an old ritual book by his father PM Wallace Simpson which contained
a third degree tracing board. He had learned it and shared the
excellent lecture with the Brethren present.
The Lodge was reduced and then advanced to the
Mark Master Mason degree and Bro. David McMillan, PM of Lodge St.
Kentigern No. 429, rounded off a superb evening of Masonic enlightenment
with the Mark Tracing Board.
