Bro. Thomas C. Barry
speaks on Middle Chamber Lecture
   
On Wednesday February 4th, Bro. Thomas C. Barry, a member of Lodge of the Ancient Landmarks and a professor of the Classics at University of BuffALo, delivered a paper of his suggested changes to the Middle Chamber Lecture. Brother Barry is urging the changes to the Lecture to bring it into step with modem men and to allow the Lecture to have meaning to the fleWly made Brother. Bro. Barry has been in contact with Grand Lodge regarding his work and has been encouraged by the Grand Lecturer in his study of this very important piece of ritual. Bro. Barry 5 comments and suggestions were enthusiastically received by the Brethren in attendance which included the Assistant Grand Lecturers of all three Erie districts, two current District Deputy Grand Masters and many current and past District Staff Officers. Bro. Barry's dedication to the Craft and his reputation as a Masonic scholar bring credit to our Lodge. Thank You Tom! 
  
 
BR ... W...  Trevor W. Rogers 
Class at Scottish Rite
 
The Valley of Buffalo, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, has announced that the Spring 1998 Class of new members Will be named after our own 
R... W... Trevor W. Rogers. Brother Rogers has served Freemasonry in Western New York since being raised in 1930. Always a leader in Scottish Rite activities, Brother Rogers was made a 33rd Degree Mason in 1954 and in 1956 served as both Commander-in-Chief of the Consistory and as Master of Lodge of the Ancient Landmarks # 441, which must have made for a very busy year. Brother Rogers was honored by the Grand Lodge in 1967 as Grand Representative to the Grand Lodge of West-ern Australia when the 
M... W... Frank C. Staples, Grand Master, traveled to Buffalo to present the honor personally. Brother Rogers has continued to be active in Ancient Landmarks, the Buffalo Consistory and Ismailia Shrine Temple in many capacities. There are very few men who have served Freemasonry with the fervency and zeal of Trev Rogers. 
  
If there are any Brothers of the Lodge who have waited for an appropriate time to join the Scottish Rite, there could not be a better time than now.
