CIRCLE LODGE #638, F. &
A. M.
MADISON, MISSISSIPPI
UNDER DISPENSATION: 1990
CHARTERED: February 12, 1991
MEETS: Third Tuesday @ 7:00 P.M.
HISTORY
We have chartered under dispensation Circle Lodge U.D.
in Madison County
Report of Grand Secretary to Grand Lodge for 1990.
Twenty-one Master Masons who were members of ten
different Lodges having received the approval of the two nearest Lodges,
(North Jackson #620 and Museum Lodge #636), petitioned our Grand Master
for dispensation to work as Circle Lodge U. D. until this Grand
Communication.
A Dispensation was issued after all fees were paid. According to our
laws, this dispensation is now null and void at this Grand
Communication, and these Brethren now petition for a Charter for Circle
Lodge #638.
All books are in order, bank accounts have been established, both
checking and building fund, a promise of two acres of land adjacent to
the city limits of Madison, Miss., on a 4-lane parkway, now under
construction, will be given to the Lodge for a building site; said
Parkway should be completed in the spring of 1992, and the brethren hope
to be in a new building about the same time.
At the present time, these Brethren are meeting in the Hall on North
Jackson Lodge #620.
They have accepted furniture, jewels and other items from Tchula Lodge
#122 which is surrendering its Charter.
These Brethren are in full possession of the adopted work of this Grand
Lodge as Brother Alva Hill (Red) Rutledge is the Worshipful Master.
We also feel that Circle is an appropriate name for a Lodge, it being an
emblem used by Masonry, for by it we test our Square.
Most Worshipful Grand Master, we move that a Charter be granted to
Circle Lodge and the number 638 be assigned to the same.
We also recommend that the incoming Grand Master deliver the Charter,
Consecrate, Dedicate and Constitute them as a Just and Regular Lodge.
Charter and Dispensations Report to 1991 Grand Lodge.
On March 12, 1991, I and the other Grand Lodge Officers
had the distinct privilege of presenting Circle Lodge No. 638, Jackson,
Mississippi their new Charter. We also conducted the ceremonies of
Consecration, Dedication and Constituting the new Lodge. It was my
privilege to install the new officers.
