1 James K. Polk was raised a Master Mason in EA, FC, MM, in Columbia Lodge N 0 31, Columbia, Tennessee. He was exalted as a Royal Arch Mason in La Fayette Chapter N 0 4 at Columbia in President Polk, as a Freemason and elected Commander in Chief, assisted in the cornerstone laying of the Smithsonian Institution in the District of Columbia on May 1, Political Affiliation: Democratic Party James K. Polk was born in North Carolina, Polk s family moved to the Tennessee frontier in 1805 when he was 10 years old. His first speech in Congress led a fight for the elimination of the Electoral College and called for popular elections of the president..a staunch ally of President Jackson, Polk served as Speaker of the House from Following his career in Congress, Polk served a single term as governor of Tennessee from 1839 to He lost two re-election attempts to regain that office. First Lady, Sarah Childress Polk, was highly influential in the advancement of Polk s career. It is unlikely that he would have been elected without her advice and skills as a political spouse. She was the first presidential wife to serve as personal secretary to the president. James K. Polk and was instrumental in carrying out the Jacksonian philosophy of limited government that dominated the Democratic Party in the 19th century. He skillfully negotiated the Oregon territory dispute with Great Britain adding the Pacific Coast territories that now include the states of Oregon and Washington. The Polk administration brought the U.S. into a war with Mexico over the fight for New Mexico and California. Polk was an exceptionally successful president. His rigorous policies of manifest destiny led to the largest expansion of U.S. territory since Thomas Jefferson s Louisiana Purchase. Under the Polk administration, the U.S. acquired the state of Texas and the territories that today include the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. Polk ran on the promise of only serving a single term. He oversaw the opening of the U.S. Naval Academy and the Smithsonian Institution, the groundbreaking for the Washington Monument, and the issuance of the first postage stamps in the United States. Polk was an early supporter of westward expansion expressed in a term that Democrats would later call Manifest Destiny. Born: November 2, Died: June 15, Famous Quote: With me it is exceptionally true that the Presidency is no bed of roses.

2 Life is hard sometimes. It s impossible to live well without encountering struggle, and there are some seasons in our lives that are especially heart wrenching. The truth is, everyone experiences unhappy circumstances on occasion, but there is a big difference between experiencing bouts of unhappiness and living a habitually unhappy life. That s what chronically unhappy people do. And although many of these people are afraid to admit it, a vast majority of their unhappiness stems from their own self-neglect. The key is to give yourself the extra attention you need and deserve. Resisting and ignoring your own feelings and emotions does not serve you. It leads to stress, illness, confusion, broken relationships, and fits of anger and bouts of deep, dark depression. Anyone who has experienced any of the above knows that these states of mind are horrifically unhealthy, and when you re in the habit of self-neglect, it s near impossible to escape. You have to admit, to a certain extent, you have spent too much of your life trying to shrink yourself. Trying to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less needy. Less YOU. Because you felt broken, and you didn t want to be too much or push people away. You wanted to fit in. You wanted people to like you. You wanted to make a good impression. You wanted to be wanted. So you could feel healed. So for years, you sacrificed yourself for the sake of making other people happy. And for years, you suffered, but you re tired of suffering, and you re done shrinking. Right? Good! It s not your job to change who you are in order to become someone else s idea of a worthwhile human being. You are worthwhile. Not because other people think you are, but because you are breathing your own air, and therefore you matter. Your thoughts matter. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. And with or without anyone s approval or permission, you must be who you are and live your truth. Even if it makes people turn their heads. Even if it makes them uncomfortable. Even if they choose to leave. You may have been broken down by adversity, but YOU are not broken. So don t let others convince you otherwise. Heal yourself by refusing to shrink. Choose to take up a lot of space in your own life. Choose to give yourself permission to meet your own needs. Choose to honor your feelings and emotions. Choose to make self-care a top priority.

3 Welcome Brethren to this month s installment of On the Level. This month I am going to discuss the various meanings of the word, Mason. Discussing the origins of the word Mason provides context for the work we are doing today. The more I studied the word, the more I wanted to share it with you. According to the Online Etymology Dictionary: c.1200, "stoneworker" (as a surname, early 12c.), from Old French masson, maçon "stone mason" (Old North French machun), probably from Frankish *makjo or some other Germanic source (compare Old High German steinmezzo "stone mason," Modern German Steinmetz, second element related to mahhon "to make;" see make (v.)). But it also might be from, or influenced by, Medieval Latin machio, matio (7c.) which is said by Isidore to be derived from machina (see machine). The medieval word also might be from the root of Latin maceria "wall." Meaning "a Freemason" is attested from early 15c. in Anglo-French. Dictionary.com shows: a person whose trade is building with units of various natural or artificial mineral products, as stones, bricks, cinder blocks, or tiles, usually with the use of mortar or cement as a bonding agent. 2. a person who dresses stones or bricks. 3. (Initial capital letter) a Freemason. Origin: ; Middle English machun, mason < Old French machun, masson> Frankish *makjoof *makon to make The Free Dictionary.com states: ma son (mā sən) (1) One who builds or works with stone or brick. (2) A Freemason. (3) To build of or strengthen with masonry. [Middle English, from Old French maçon, masson, of Germanic origin; see mag- in Indo-European roots.] The information from Vocabulary.com highlights the tension that exists about the origin of the word, Mason: Usage experts can t quite agree on the origins of the word mason. Some believe that it traces back to the German word mahhon, meaning "to make." True or not, it s a good way to remember the meaning of mason: masons make things out of brick or stone. A mason is a skilled craftsperson who might, for example, carve stone for a memorial or do work on the brick walls of a house. Although there may be differences in where the word Mason originated, there is one consistent theme. The word Mason is synonymous with Freemasonry. Today, we may not be making buildings or large structures, but the metaphor of making or building something still applies to us today. Think about all of the activities we do that represent this concept: We make or build programs that help to make our community a better place. We make or build good men through our traditions and ceremonies. We make or build each other as we share our lives together. We make or build our families through our affiliation with each other. We make or build a legacy for those who come behind us. We make or build a better world for all. This demonstrates the importance of the work we do in the lodge and in our communities. How many other organizations can say that their core purpose, as Masons, can change the world? What are you doing, today, that can change the world? Final Though: work, no matter how small, can multiply and change the world.

4 Brethren, I noticed my Masonic Birthday in last month s Trestleboard and couldn t believe it has been that long. I have attended meetings at other Masonic Lodges and other Masonic Orders and see people that I have known far longer than my Masonic birthday.

Dad was a member of Glendale N 0 23 and Secretary of Hiram Daylight and was in the Culinary Unit of El Zaribah and we went to every parade they had. I joined the Order of DeMolay in 1975, but enough about me. I was just reminiscing.

5 Memorial Day is a holiday for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. This holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the war. By the 20 TH Century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who died while in military service. Making a blood donation is one way to pay homage to the service men and women who protect and defend our nation. Blood donation this time of year works as both a tribute and a testament to our nation s armed forces, so roll up your sleeve, and honor those who dedicate their lives to others, and give the gift of life to help others in need. Blood transfusions save the lives of cardiac patients during surgery Premature infants come into the world often needing blood to survive Accidents happen 24/7 that put our friends, family, and neighbors in danger You or someone you know will need blood at some point.

From natural disasters to unforeseen catastrophes, emergency hospital procedures, to life-long battles with chronic diseases such as sickle cell anemia. The demand for blood is constant.

7 This Scottish Rite Cathedral is a historic building designed by architect George F. Schreiber, located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. It is owned by the Valley of Indianapolis Scottish Rite. It was built between 1927 and 1929 at the cost of $2.5 million. It was built with every dimension (in feet) being evenly divisible by three (reflecting the three degrees in Freemasonry), with many being divisible by 33 reflecting the degrees a member of the Scottish Rite can achieve. The Cathedral is one of the largest Masonic buildings, and is one of the finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in the United States. The main tower features a 54-bell carillon and rises 212 ft. above Indianapolis. It also has a floating ballroom. Other features are patterned ceilings, ornate carved woodwork, and stained-glass windows. The auditorium has 1200 seats, and has been commended for the craftsmanship with which its fittings and decorations were made. It also has a large pipe organ. The main entrance, known as the Tiler's Room, is a cube of 33 ft. It features both Masonic symbols and the signs of the Zodiac. The ballroom also embodies the number 33 by being 99 ft. square, pillars defining the dancing area as 66 ft. square, and the white oak floor panels are 33 in square. The chandelier has 200 lights and weighs 2,500 lbs.
