The next meeting is June 14, 2011
Be looking for the next issue of Missouri Freemasonry for an article by Bro David Cormier about our joint meeting with with Salomon ā trois Serrures lodge of Göteborg, Sweden! - Have you seen my Time Capsule? George Washington's Cornerstone... Today's custom of burying time capsules is in part an outgrowth of Masonic cornerstone-laying ceremonies. Through the centuries, Masons have officiated at rituals which often include placing memorabilia inside building cornerstones for later recovery. In 1793, George Washington, a Mason, performed the Masonic ritual upon the laying of the original cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol. Over the years, the Capitol has undergone extensive expansion, remodeling and reconstruction, but the original George Washington cornerstone has never been found. It is unknown whether there is anything inside of it.
