2 FOURTH DEGREE FOURTEENTH DEGREE THIRTY-SECOND DEGREE Light and truth are within the reach of every man who lives, would he but open his eyes and see. Soldier of Justice, Right and Truth. THE FOURTH DEGREE - You now take your first step into our sanctuary in search of truth and knowledge, the most genuine and real of human treasures. You are reminded that your progress depends upon your secrecy, obedience and fidelity; secrecy for the security of obligations, duties, oaths, communications; obedience for the laws that reflect the will and judgment and benefit of the people, not the edicts of the tyrant or those that are contrary to God and nature; fidelity for the faith and to promises plighted family, friends, country and Masonry. Thereby you will avoid the diverting allurements of pleasure and indolence and permit the mandates of your obligations to be fulfilled. You must seek, read, study, reflect, digest and discriminate. The light of knowledge develops the soul of man and assures the reward of his aspirations for continuance after death. In the faithful pursuit of these ideals you will serve yourself, your fellow members, country and mankind. THE FOURTEENTH DEGREE - We now reach the point of reflection, of consideration, and of analysis. Each must discover for himself the Secrets contained in our symbols and in what has been said and done in the work. We press on toward the unattainable, yet more nearly approaching perfect truth. God has given each of us work to do and duties to perform in the progress of the great plan for enlightenment and growth. In this plan there are sorrows and trials that are designed to purify and strengthen our souls. It cannot be true that these are visited upon us for sadistic or cruel purposes. Ultimate good in accordance with merciful and wise divine guidance must result. Our future well-being depends upon how we perform in this life. Hence, we should so live that death will hold no terror for us. Instead, there will be a release from our earthly trials into spiritual realms above. THE THIRTY-SECOND DEGREE - This Degree presents the crowning power of designs we have drawn upon the Scottish Rite trestle-board. Those of the Lodge of Perfection traced for us how our spiritual nature is enabled to assert itself. In the Philosophical, the values of the virtues encourage us to subdue our animal passions and appetites. In the Chivalric, we learn how the spiritual and divine in man are superior. Life, we learn, is a battle. To fight that battle heroically and well is the overriding purpose of man's existence. Genuine Brotherhood requires mutual regard, opinion, esteem and charity. Brethren in the true sense of the word look for the good in others and expect and allow for evil, making generous allowance for the human faults and failings of God's imperfect children. As we progress toward the end of this Degree and seek seriously the Royal Secret which is concealed like the occult science of the ancients, we remember, "Faith begins where reason sinks exhausted." Magic, after all, is but the absolute science of nature and its laws. So the Star of Hope shines for us as truly as when, like a magnet, it drew the wise men to Bethlehem. Today, as at the time of the initial creation of the entire universe, the Balance of Equilibrium is the ultra activating force in the eternal plan of the Omnipotent. Thus, vacuum and matter, matter and antimatter, positive and negative, light and darkness, male and female, attraction and repulsion, evil and good, justice and mercy, are examples of what the Magic of Balance can create under the law of Universal Equilibrium. You will seek the Holy Doctrine-the Blazing Star of Truth, the Royal Secret-of creation. So do we slowly climb toward the final goal, the state of perfection. 2

5 KNIGHTS OF SAINT ANDREW P A G E 5 Other than being a service oriented group composed of 32nd Degree Masons, Black Hats, within the Fort Worth Valley of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, the Knights of Saint Andrew are a resource from which its members are placed into several roles to assist the leadership of our Valley. Whether it be in the capacity of serving on assorted committees, degree teams, Reunions, or any other capacity where they maybe needed, the Knights of Saint Andrew are always there to be utilized. We have many opportunities available where you can serve your Valley. We are a group based on the teachings and principles of the 29th Degree where the Knights Templar stationed in Scotland were utilized as part of King Robert the Bruce's forces during the Battle of Banockburn. As a result of their help, they were allowed to stay in Scotland, and their name was changed to the Knights of Saint Andrew to give them safety from their enemies, namely, the French and English kings and the Ecclesiastical authorities that held sway in Europe at that time. As a member of the Knights of Saint Andrew, if you choose to take an active role as an officer, you receive valuable experiences which help in your Masonic development in all aspects of your endeavors. So if you are interested in obtaining information about the Knights of Saint Andrew, also known as the Order of the Thistle, or want to become a member, please contact Hon. Cory Harris, 32ᵒ Venerable Knight, through the Fort Worth Scottish Rite Office. MEAL TICKETS For 2016 individual monthly dinner meeting tickets are $12. All fifty year Scottish Rite Masons receive one free ticket for the dinner. Tickets may be purchased for cash, check or by credit or debit card and will be collected as members pass through the serving line. If the cost of a meal ticket imposes an undue hardship please contact Ill. Sonny Tull, 33ᵒ or the Almoner of the Valley, Ill. John Merk, 33ᵒ.

6 7 November Meeting The November 2016 Dinner Meeting was highlighted by the introduction of our special guest, Addie Bryan. She was born with a rare bone disorder that contorted her legs and made her knees unable to bend. A long time patient of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital, she developed from a child not expected to walk to a child who runs with abandon. In the summer of 2015, Addie stood on a street corner with a sign seeking donations for the Hospital as her birthday gift. Addie originally sought $8,000 but raised $19,500. An anonymous donor added $50,000 to that sum. Addie interviewed for the WFAA news, said that her drive was not about her but that it was about the Hospital she calls her second home and the children treated there. Addie told WFAA "I think all the kids are going to be happy, and they can get out of the hospital faster."
