The highlight of the visitation was an Open Forum where doubtful points were resolved to the satisfaction of the Brethren by Most Wor. Bro. Orosa. In his closing address, the Most Worshipful Grand Master urged the patronage by the Brethren of the Masonic Hospital for Crippled Children. He said that the hospital is a tangible proof of the charitable aims of the Institution. He urged that those Brethren who were not as yet members of the hospital should send in their subscriptions. ------------oOo-----------Masonry is a means, not an end: and the reception of a degree, whether it be the first or last of a Rite, does not in itself make the recipient any better than he was before. It simply is the medium for broadening his knowledge of his duties, and the application of those duties in his daily walk and conduct. October, 1957 Page 127
