THE KOI XD TABLE While I am musing, I recall the words of that old Roman who said, “I ante, I saw, 1 conquered.” This may be the sentiment of the victorious re utblicans. However, it remains to e seen what use the victors will make of their opportunity. As a m-.rchman, “The Scribe" sees the hand of a kindly Providence leading this nation to the open door of oppor unity; query, will it enter? 1 now return to the consideration f the legitimacy of “Prince Hall" or N'egro Masonry in this country, quot ng freely from the writing of Brother "Tarry A. Williamson, deputy grand master of the grand lodge of New York state, Free and Accepted Ma sons (Prince Hall). "Two objections against the Negroes are: That the formation of African lodge was an error, and further, that it died a natural death about 1813. Both assertions are quite satisfac torily contradicted as follows: Brother Robbins in his report to the grand lodge of Illinois, in 1876, says: “We believe, and we think we have shown in former reports, that the orig inal legitimacy of African lodge is be yond question: and that its members were robbed of their rights when the grand lodge of Massachusetts was formed in 1792.” From the proceedings of the white grand lodge of Ohio for 1876, page 17: “Your committee deems it sufficient to say that they are satisfied beyond ill question that colored Free Ma sonry had a legitimate beginning in this country as much as any other Free Masonry: in fact, it came from the same source.” The most unusual comment made by i latter day writer upon the subject is from the pen of Rear Admiral M. W. Brother Geo. W. Baird, past grand master of the grand lodge of the Dis trict of Columbia, who states in an irticle written for Bulletin 36, pub lished by the International Bureau for Masonic Affairs* at Neuchatel. Swit zerland, that: “It was thought by many that the action of that military B t g J 1 B-1508 N B-3119 1 C O L N 1 B ' K | CITY TAXI SERVICE h .. ..... .. .

The good brother forgot there was no legal en actment in effect against the owner hip of slaves at that time; also that free Negroes" were descendants of foreign-born parents, or from the in dertnarriage of Negroes and Indians, .’therefore the insult? The first governing Jjody among the Negroes was styled ‘‘African Grand ' odge.” In 1S08 the name was changed > the ‘‘Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts,” in honor and memory f the pioneer Negro Masons. I call ■Mention briefly to some of its work, s follows: On the lt6h of February, 1S12, it issued a warrant for the estab lishment of Boyer lodge Ne. 1 in New Vork City. In the year 1826 it created Celestial lodge No. 2, Rising Sun lodge No. 3 and Hiram lodge No. 4. all in the same city with Boyer lodge. A iiftrtial '1st of the grand master of Prince Hall grand lodge is as follows: Nero Prince, 1807 to 1809; George Middleton. 1809 to 1811; Peter Lew, 181] to 1817; Samuel H. Mondv, 1817 to 1826; John T. Hilton, 1826 to 1827. The foregoing data, together with the statement that 460 meetings were held from 1807 to 1846. Is conclusive evidence that the lodge did not become extinct as has been charged. In concluding this lengthy article, we may add that In onr next article we will discuss some of the objections raised by our white brethren. Wp who are of darker hue realized long since that race and color preju dice is rampant in this country; yet ■e are developing a new Negro, one that has grown tremendously from the teachings of the late world war. Pa triotic to the core: giving freely with ut murmur his life for a land that fosters lvnehing of his kind. He dem onstrates to the world, to friend and foe the one faet—the Negro is a man Robt.
