We had the pleasure of MWB Jonathan R. Andrews, Grand Master of Masons in New Mexico visit us at our most recent regular communication. Additional special guests that evening were MWB Jeff Johnson and Grand Lodge Secretary, RWB Sky Olsen.

MWGM Jonathan R. Andrews paid his official visit to Cerrillos Lodge #19 for their Regular Communication. There was a wonderful meal (the first meal after Covid restrictions) followed by a short business meeting. MWB Jeff Johnson and Grand Secretary - RWB Sky Olsen were also in attendance. Although air conditioning would have been preferred, Cerrillos Lodge opened with their traditional observance ritual, and they also read the petition for a new member that will hopefully be joining our Fraternity. Thanks for a wonderful evening of friendship and brotherly love, Cerrillos Lodge!

In observance of Memorial Day, we’re featuring the next excerpt taken from a letter written by a Brother Mason to a grieving mother of a soldier from Farmington, New Mexico: Wilbur Pierce. Nearly 102 years ago, Brother Charles Huntley penned this beautiful correspondence from the French countryside to comfort the family of a fellow Mason in a profound gesture of brotherly love.
———————————————
“Arrived at the cemetery, the funeral train was drawn up in a hollow square, with the men on two sides, the band on the third and a group of officers and a firing squad on the fourth. There was absolute silence as first the flowers and then the flag for which they who rested beneath it had died, were removed from each casket and the caskets were lowered. A chaplain stood at the head of each grave – a Roman catholic between two Protestants, for one of the boys was of this faith.

The voice of the first one arose in that undying promise of life to come - ‘I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead yet shall he live.’ The next chaplain recited the Catholic service and then the third, who stood at your son’s grave, sent a fervent appeal to the Great Father of us all for comfort and consolation for those back home, a prayer that touched every heart and brought tears to many eyes. At its close there was a quiet command and three volleys rang out from the firing squad in honor of the men who had finished their work for their country. The bugler stepped forward and the sad sweet notes of the soldier’s goodnight, ‘Taps,’ sounded the final farewell. And just as he did so, an aeroplane, glistening snow white in the rays of the sun, went up and up along the eastern horizon like a soul silently winging its flight to a clime where there is no more sickness or sorrow or parting. Then the procession moved quietly back to camp. As it left another Mason who, like myself, is a Y.M.C.A. secretary – Mr. John S. Donald, exsecretary of state of Wisconsin – and I dropped sprigs of evergreen upon your son’s casket, according to our Masonic custom. We gathered a few flowers from the wreath upon his grave and enclose them in this letter.”
