 INTRODUCTION 
 
 For many years it has been the wish of the members of Oakland Lodg'e No. 
 188, h\ and A. M., to compile in convenient form some data concerning" the 
 organization and accomplishments of the Lodge, and some brief record of the 
 brethren who guided the association in the pioneer days of its existence. The 
 fiftieth anniversary of the birth of 188 has been deemed a fitting occasion for 
 such a record and a committee consisting of Brothers Wilber Walker, Thos. I. 
 Miller and Chas. X. Walter have compiled the booklet herewith presented and 
 olter it for the information of Masons in general and Oakland Lodge Xo. 18S in 
 particular. 
 
 The committee desire to thank the members for their co-operation and 
 assistance, especially those who furnished the pictures of om- brethren, many of 
 whom have gone to their eternal reward. 
 
 It is to be hoped that those who receive this publication w-ill not "view it 
 with a critic's eye, but will pass its imperfections by." 
 
 In these days of strife and misunderstanding, when even Civilization itself 
 seems to be on trial, may it not be a relief to consider for a brief season a few 
 records of those divine tenets of our beloved Order : Brotherly Love, Relief and 
 Truth, and above all Charity, the cap stone of the Masonic Arch?

MASONRY IN CALIFORNIA 
 1850-1918 
 
 This Masonic record would not be complete without at least a brief reference 
 to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge F. and A. M. of California. 
 
 To the pioneer it seems as if Masonry in the Days of Gold meant more than 
 in these present days. Perhaps it is due to the fact that "distance lends enchantment 
 to the view," or it may be that the multiplicity of fraternal orders in these modern 
 times, when organizations seem to spring up in a single night like mushrooms, 
 or perchance there were more opportunities for brotherhood when the Pacific 
 Coast was thronged with pilgrims from almost every land on earth, and the term 
 "brother" meant really the tenets of our Order, Brotherly Love, Relief and 
 Truth. How or whv we know not, but this we do know, that the Square and 
 Compass were symbols of true fraternity in pioneer days, and that even the sons 
 of pioneers can bear witness of the great services rendered by the brethren of 
 the Mystic Tie. The roster of the Grand Lodge, F. & A. AL, is largely the roster 
 of men who did things, and did them honorably, and the Mason who can read the 
 names and deeds of California pioneer Masons, without emotion, has lost his 
 enthusiasm, or never had any to lose. 
 
 On April IT, 18o(), a meeting was held, attended by representatives of four 
 Masonic Lodges, to consider the advisability of forming a Grand Lodge for the 
 State of Califori^ia. 
 
 On May 7, 1850, the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of California was con- 
 stituted at a meeting held in the city of Sacramento by representatives of the 
 following Lodges : 
 
 California No. 1, San Francisco. 
 
 Western Star No. 2, Benton City. 
 
 Tehama No. 3, Sacramento. 
 
 Berryman No. 4, Sacramento. 
 
 Benicia No. 5, Benicia. 
 
 Sutter No. 6, Sacramento. 
 
 Johnathan D. Stevenson was elected Grand Master. This handful of faith- 
 ful men took up the work with enthusiasm, and the amounts raised and expended 
 for relief seem almost like fairy tales in these modern days. 
 
 At the semi-annual communication in November, 1850, the following Lodges 
 were reported, with their membership: California No. 1, 56; Western Star, no 
 returns ; Tehama No. 3. 29 ; Jennings No. 4, 22 ; Benicia No. 5, 22 ; Sutter No. 6,

 ship is reported as 8,106, which includes Ferndale V. D., 8. 
 
 The Lodges in Alameda County in 1868 are included above. 
 For the year ended August 31, 1918, there were 369 chartered Lodges, the 
 membership of which cannot be given at this time, because all reports are not 
 yet in. There are three Lodges now under dispensation : Yorba Linda, formed 
 February 13. 1918; Lincoln, June 25, 1918, and Delta, August 17, 1918. 
 
 The condensed record of membership is as follows, but the reports not being 
 all in, the figures for August 31, 1918, are approximately correct: 
 
 November. 1850 258 
 
 August 31. 1868 8.106 
 
 August 31, 1916 57,856 
 
 August 31, 1917 60,384 
 
 August 31. 1918 63.979 
 
 Certainly this is a wonderful record as to numerical increase. 
 But the Fraternity has not only increased its membership, but has increased 
 its influence in the community and is now a power for good throughout the great 
 State of California. Surely the humble acorn of 1850 has grown into the sturdv 
 oak of 1918 
 
 [10] 
 
With a gain of 3,. "586 members, the greatest annual increase in the sixty- 
 nine years of its existence the Masonic Grand Lodge of California, which opens 
 its annual session in San Francisco Tuesday, October tS, 1918, will be advised 
 that its membership is now 03,979, the greatest membership of any fraternal 
 organization in the State. The Order has established another record in the 
 induction in the service of Uncle Sam in his war for democracy of 5,349 
 Masons. Its nearest approach to the large gain in membership the past year 
 was in 1915, the Exposition year, when the Order made a gain of 2,700 mem- 
 bers in California. 
 
 The largest gain in membership is reported in the Southern part of the 
 State, five Lodges of Los Angeles showing a membership of more than 500 
 each. Hollenbeck Lodge No. 319 of the Southern city, now leads the Lodges 
 throughout the State in membership, with 967, passing Mission Lodge No. 1G9 
 of San Francisco, which for many years, held the record for membership. Mis- 
 sion Lodge has 900 members. 
 
 There are now twenty Lodges in California with a membership of more 
 than 500, San Francisco has seven Lodges with more than 500 enrolled. 
 
 BUY LIBERTY BONDS 
 
 The 382 Subordinate Lodges purchased from their treasuries Liberty Bonds 
 amounting to more than $300,000. Individual purchases by the membership run 
 to many millions of dollars. 
 
 The Grand Master's special war fund, raised by voluntary contributions of 
 members, for the care of returning soldiers who may be in need amounts to 
 $00,000. 
 
 The Order also maintains employment bureaus at Los Angeles, Oakland and 
 San Francisco, placing members of the Order out of employment in positions. 
 
 One of the most important matters to be considered will be a report on the 
 proposed recognition by the California Masonic fraternity of the Masonic fra- 
 ternity in France, Belgium and Italy. Until a year ago the Masonic fraternity 
 of the United States did not recognize the Masonic organizations of these coun- 
 tries nor those of Germany, Masons of this country not being permitted to visit 
 or hold any intercourse with these foreign Masonic bodies. 
 
 LET DOWN B.\RS 
 
 Last year, for the first time in the history of the California organization, 
 the bars were let down and permission extended its members to visit the Lodges 
 of France. This action was taken because of the war and the close relationship 
 now existing between France and the L nited States. 
 
 The 1917 Grand Lodge appointed a special committee with Grand Master 
 William R. Hervey of Los Angeles as chairman to make an investigation of the 
 Masfiuic organizations of France, Italy and Belgium with a view of according 
 full recognition by the California fraternity of the Masonic organizations of 
 those countries. This committee will present a complete report and, it is under- 
 stood, will recommend recognition of the Masonic bodies of those countries. 
 The Masonic fraternity of Great Britain and the United States have long rec- 
 ognized the jurisdiction of each other. The reason given for lack of recognition 
 of the Masonic organizations of France, Italy and Belgium is that to a more or 
 less extent political action has guided their destinies.

FIFTY YEARS OF MASONRY IN ALAMEDA 
 COUNTY (1868- 1918) 
 
 \\'hen a dispensation was granted by the Most Worshipful Grand Master to 
 form a Lodge, which w-as subsequently chartered as Oakland Lodge Xo. 188. 
 there w'ere three Lodges then at w^ork in Alameda County : Live Oak Lodge 
 No. 61 at Oakland, with a membership of 04 Master Masons ; Eden Lodge No. 
 113, at San Leandro with a membership of -tO Master Masons; and Alameda 
 Lodge No. 16T. at Centerville, with a membership of 42 Master Masons. 
 
 The records of the Craft in this county in the early days are few, and the 
 numbers of the brethren were small. But they made up in ijuality what they 
 lacked in quantity, and sturdy old Live Oak can certainly point with pride to its 
 founders and those who carried the burden in the pioneer days. 
 
 When we think of such brethren as Reverend Benjamin Akerly. Judge Sam 
 Bell McKee, Francis K. Shattuck, Thatcher P. Wales, P. G. M. Edward H. Hart, 
 J. J. Warner, and others on the Roll of Honor of No. (il, and when we recall 
 that some of the leading citizens of the county were on the rolls of No. 113 
 and No. I(i7 we realize that the foundations of Masonry in Alameda County 
 were laid on the solid rock of character and ability, and that that solid founda- 
 tion has developed a structure of which the Craft in Alameda County may well 
 be proud. 
 
 The following is a list of all Lodges now in Alameda County, w ith member- 
 ship as reported August 31, 1918 : 
 
 Alameda No. 107, 113; Alcatraz No. 244, 420; AHsal No. 321. 77; Apollo 
 No. 396, 178; Bay View No. 401, 248; Berkeley No. 363, 385; Brooklyn No. 22.'). 
 439; Charter Rock No. 410, 405; Durant No. 268, 451; Eden No. 113. 139; 
 Eucalyptus No. 243, 111 ; Fruitvale No. 336, 381 ; Live Oak No. 61, 789 ; Mosaic 
 No. 218, 95 ; Oak Grove No. 215, 448 ; Oakland No. 188, 641 ; Rockridge No. 468, 
 58; Sequoia No. 349, 620; Standard No. 440, 133; Yerba Buena No. 403. 248. 
 Twenty Lodges in all, with a total membership of 6,379 Master Masons. Plea.se 
 excuse the statement that this is going some. 
 
 The growth of the Craft has been a steady, healthy growth, and the quality 
 of the membership is remarkably good. A large portion of the new membership 
 consists of sons and grandsons of pioneer members, and who shall say that such 
 stock will not reflect honor on our ancient and honorable Fraternity? 
 
 In the last half century our county has increased in population, wealth and 
 resources, but in no respect has the increase been as great as it has been in our 
 beloved Order. Alameda County can well be proud of its growth, and the 
 Masons of our county can certainly feel a commendable pride in the wonderful 
 development locally of the influence of the Mystic Tie. The Fraternity which 
 numbers in its ranks such citizens and patriots as George Washington, Benjamin 
 Franklin, Henry Clay, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, and many others 
 of illustrious fame, cannot fail to be held responsible in a large degree for the 
 welfare of the community in which it resides. It is up to the Masonic Fraternity 
 of Alameda County to so centralize its great power as to hold in check those 
 tendencies which are inimical to good government. 
 
 It is the duty of our great Fraternity to safeguard the liberties of the nation, 
 so that "Government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not 
 perish from the earth."

HISTORY OF OAKLAND LODGE No. i88 
 
 "To their follies often blind 
 To their virtues ever kind" 
 
 XCE UPOX A TIME, as the fairy tales often express it, more 
 tlian half a century ago, the County of Alameda was discovered 
 by the outside world. Its magnificent soil, climate and situation 
 began to have their efifect and a wonderful growth started ; not 
 a boom, but a steady increase in population and resources, which 
 has continued ever since and, in the opinion of the writer, has 
 in the year 1918 only entered on its first chapter. The writer 
 has resided in California since 1852 and in Oakland since 1855. He has witnessed 
 a wonderful development in that sixty-three years, but what will be the population 
 of Alameda County in 1981, as seen by the grandchildren of those now here? 
 
 In 1868 the total population of the county was less than 20,000 and the city 
 limits of Oakland were bounded on the north by Thirty-sixth Street and on the 
 east by what is now Lake Merritt, but which at that time was an open branch 
 of the estuary. 
 
 The Oakland of 1868 was not the Oakland of 1918. In 1868 the northern 
 limit of business was Tenth Street, and when Broadway Block, still standing, 
 was built, it was considered doubtful whether its location, Broadway between 
 Eleventh and Twelfth, west side, was not too far out of town to attract business. 
 The advent of the first transcontinental railroad to San Francisco Bay at Oakland 
 was an event of world-wide importance. The dream of the century was realized* 
 and when the first train passed down First Street to the wharf at West Oakland, 
 the people of Oakland believed the future of the city was assured. Oakland 
 began a growth which has continued and will continue. 
 
 Where we then secured one transcontinental railroad, we now have three. 
 
 Fifty years ago there were three Masonic Lodges in Alameda County: 7..ive 
 Oak No. 61, at Oakland; Eden No. 113, at San Leandro ; and Alameda No. 167, 
 at Centerville. Live Oak then held their meetings in Shattuck Hall, on the corner 
 of Eighth and Broadway. Live Oak was proceeding along in the even tenor of 
 its way under the leadership of its conservative officers, when something happened 
 which caused these brethren to sit up and take notice. 
 
 In the access of new population it was natural that members of the ^Masonic 
 fraternity should be included, and there were many applications for affiliation 
 with Live Oak No. 61. 
 
 On March 7, 1868, the following brethren met at the hall of Live Oak Lodge 
 No. 61 and petitioned Grand blaster William A. Davies for a dispensation to 
 form a new Lodge to be known as Oakland Lodge, being dimited from Lodges 
 as follows :

 If ever a man deserved the title of Master of a Lodge, that man was 
 Nathan Weston Spaulding, a kindly man, a brainy, brawny man, full of the 
 milk of human kindness and the true spirit of the teachings of Free Masonry. 
 With little of so-called culture, for his hands were calloused and his shoulders 
 bent by honest toil, he yet possessed the true culture of human sympathy. 
 
 That culture of the fraternal spirit attracted to his side kindred spirits, who 
 gave to him such loyal support and co-operation that he was able to produce 
 
 16 
 
grand and glorious results. Nathan Weston Spaulding was a born leader of 
 men. He appealed to the best in man, and though not always flawless himself, 
 he cultivated and brought out the best in others. 
 
 He quickly identified himself with public affairs, became Councilman and 
 Mayor of Oakland, and subsequently United States Sub-Treasurer, where mil- 
 lions of money passed honestly through his hands. When Mayor of Oakland, 
 he donated his entire salary to charity. 
 
 Brother Spaulding was a tower of strength not only to Oakland Lodge, but 
 also to Oakland Masonry. Between March IG, 1868, and December 34, 1868, 
 thirty-eight members were received ; during 1869, sixty-four members, and during 
 1870, twenty-nine members, which record surely caused No. 61 to sit up and 
 take notice. 
 
 The corps of officers associated with Brother Spaulding made this progress 
 natural and easy. All were representative men, business men, and commanded 
 the confidence of the community, especially as during a portion of his term as 
 Master he occupied the position of Mayor of Oakland. The new Lodge occupied 
 a hall built for its use in Broadway Block at the corner of Twelfth and Broadway 
 until the completion of the Masonic Temple in 1881. Oakland Lodge was 
 largely a commuters' Lodge, and many were the discussions of Masonic matters 
 on the afterdeck of the ferry boat. Saturday night was selected as the most 
 convenient meeting time, and though several efforts have been made to change 
 the evening on account of inconvenience to many of our members, we still cling 
 to Saturday night, and it is doubtful whether any change will ever be made. 
 
 At the institution of Oakland Lodge, when it was found necessary to raise 
 funds for the purchase of furniture and paraphernalia, it was suggested that as 
 many of the brethren as felt so disposed might purchase life memberships at one 
 hundred dollars each, and the funds so raised could be spent for the necessary 
 furniture. The suggestion was carried out, and the Lodge has always looked 
 with favor on life memberships. 
 
 The second Master was Joseph B. Scotchler, one of the most courteous gen- 
 tlemen who ever graced the Oriental chair in any Masonic Lodge. No. 188 
 continued to thrive during his term of office and the membership rapidly increased. 
 
 Enoch H. Pardee, the succeeding Master, embodied in his make-up many dis- 
 similar elements. Under a seemingly rugged exterior, he concealed the kindness 
 and Masonic consideration of a true brother. Many a destitute Mason in ill 
 health was relieved by him without money and without price, and the Doctor was 
 seemingly offended if even a few words of thanks were offered by the recipient. 
 While his ritual work often brought smiles to the faces of his fellow officers, as, 
 for instance, when he coolly ordered a certain individual to be taken without the 
 gates and have his head chopped off, the brethren knew that what he lacked in 
 book Masonry he more than made up in real genuine Masonic charity. 
 
 W. J. Gurnett succeeded E. H. Pardee and measured up to the standard of 
 his predecessors, and No. 188 continued to increase in membership and in 
 Masonic work. 
 
 James H. Wilson, Senior Warden, having for business reasons declined the 
 office of Master, the Lodge again called Brother Spaulding to the East and the 
 upward growth continued. 
 
 Brother Spaulding was followed by James Dods, W. A. Walter and J. J. 
 Porter, and in 1877 Brother Jesse Walton was chosen to guide the destinies 
 of No. 188. 
 
 I might say many pleasant things about Brother Jesse. Certainly I could 
 not truthfully say any unpleasant things. Brother Walton is still with us, and 
 we hope for many more years. Those of us who now have the pleasure of 
 
 [17] 
 
Masonic fellowship with him realize that a Lodge under his guidance must be 
 indeed a pleasant meeting place. 
 
 Brother Alvah K. Clark succeeded Brother Walton, and Brother X. W. 
 Spaulding was again called to the Oriental chair in 18?9, 1880 and 1881. Oak- 
 land Lodge had by this time become one of the leading Lodges in the State of 
 California, and when in 1881 the Masonic Temple of Oakland, erected at a cost 
 of $100,000, was dedicated free from debt, it seemed as if Nathan Weston Spauld- 
 ing had placed the keystone in the arch of his Masonic work in Oakland. 
 
 The dedication of the Temple was an occasion for the gathering of the 
 Masonic fraternity of Alameda and San Francisco Counties, and the brethren 
 of Oakland felt that at last they had a meeting place of which they might well 
 be proud. 
 
 George E. Whitney succeeded Brother Spaulding in 1882, and during his 
 term was inaugurated the movement which culminated in the ^Masonic Home at 
 Decoto. It was advocated in the Grand Lodge by Brothers Whitney. Spaulding, 
 Walton, Clark and O'Keefe, and finally the action was taken and the purchase 
 of the site and erection of the first building were authorized. 
 
 During the term of W. M. E. H. Morgan, the pipe organ was built and 
 installed. The funds were raised by subscription of the various bodies meeting 
 in the Temple and I'rother ^Morgan deserves a large part of the credit for the 
 result. 
 
 In 1895, during the term of Charles F. Ott as Worshipful Master, a very 
 pleasing incident occurred in the raising to the Sublime Degree of X^'alter C. 
 Wilcox by the Grand Lodge of California. 
 
 In 1878. an epidemic of yellow fever at New Orleans deprived Walter of 
 his father and mother when he was only four years of age. In spite of his 
 tender years, he left New Orleans for Sacramento, California, with a tag in the 
 buttonhole of his jacket commending him to the care and protection of the 
 Fraternity whithersoever dispersed for his safe delivery at the home of his 
 grandmother in Sacramento. At the time of his arrival, the Grand Lodge was 
 in annual communication, and the boy was introduced by Grand Master Atkinson 
 to the Grand Lodge. He was adopted by the Grand Lodge of California, an 
 appropriation of twenty-five dollars per month was made for his support, and 
 Grand Treasurer N. W. Spaulding was appointed his guardian. The trust was 
 faithfully carried out and Walter Carey Wilcox is a member of Oakland Lodge 
 and engaged in the practice of his profession in Oakland. 
 
 Brother W'ilcox is a living illustration of the fact that Masonry is something 
 more than a mere abstract idea. 
 
 In a publication like this souvenir booklet, it is not possible to speak par- 
 ticularly of the details of each of the administrations of the forty-three Masters 
 w^ho have served No. 188 in the half century ending October 15, 1918. In the 
 language of the highway, we can only hit the high spots, as it were, and many 
 of the most useful and popular presiding officers have very little space in any 
 published record. 
 
 One brother of our Lodge was honored by being elected as Grand Master 
 of California. He had been a busy man. one whose time had ever been crowded 
 with work and whose able grasp of aflfairs often compelled him to turn night 
 into day in the development of his adopted State, the great State of California. 
 Nevertheless he always had leisure for Masonic work and the service of a dis- 
 tressed worthy brother. He was ever ready to travel from West to East, and 
 even from North to South, seeking further light in Masonry. To him. Masonry 
 was a great moral system and a religion to which he devoted all his leisure time, 
 and for which he often neglected his own orivate business, ^^'hen. at his 
 request, he was installed as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of California bv 
 
 r 18 1 
 
his friend and brother, P. G. M. George C. Perkins, we who were present Httle 
 thought that it would be his last visit to his mother Lodge, over which he had 
 presided in 1893. Able, honored and successful, he might well look forward to 
 years of enjoyment of his business and his services in Masonry. But it was not 
 so allotted in the plans of the Great Architect of the Universe. God took him 
 and he was not. 
 
 May the fragrance of the acacia, which was laid on his last resting place, 
 and the perfume of his many Masonic virtues waft perpetual incense about the 
 memory of William I"'rank Pierce, not as Most Worshipful Grand Master, but 
 just as "l<"rank." 
 
 No chronicle of any organization should be complete without reference to 
 the ordinary membership. Many members of the craft are too busy with other 
 things to devote much time to the service of the Lodge, but many such brethren 
 contribute to the general prosperity of the Order. 
 
 Oakland Lodge has been successful as well by the high character of its 
 membership as by the ability of its officers. Let us consider a few of these 
 brethren. 
 
 Henry Durant became an entered apprentice in No. 188 at the age of 68. 
 Although for years a Presbyterian minister, he found new significance in the 
 Holy Writings under Masonic teaching. A man of striking personality, of 
 unblemished character, he exemplified that charity which is the keystone of our 
 great Order. No student of the College of California, now the University of 
 California, fails to pay tribute to the noble character of Henry Durant, a man 
 who forgot the gold of the earth in his efforts to induce young men to seek the 
 gold of a cultivated and pure character. No name on the roll of Oakland Lodge 
 stands higher than that of Henry Durant, Mayor of Oakland and President of 
 the University of California. 
 
 Another member worthy of honor was Laurentine Hamilton, pastor of the 
 Independent Church and one of the most scholarly and useful ministers of the 
 gospel of pioneer days. 
 
 John B. Felton. ex-Mayor of Oakland and at one time leader of the bar of 
 California, was also a frequent and welcome orator at the early "modest colla- 
 tions" of the Lodge. 
 
 Fred M. Campbell, for many years City Superintendent of Schools and 
 afterwards State Superintendent, was also one of the most popular members of 
 No. 188. 
 
 The business judgment and popularity of Charles V>. Rutherford were a 
 factor in the growth of our Lodge. 
 
 William Bartling. William R. Davis, W. PL Craig, John A. Britton, John J. 
 Newsom, Edwin A. Sherman, Hugh Craig. James E. Blethen. Edward C. Ses- 
 sions, and many others, contributed valuable support to the oflficers of No. 188. 
 
 No stream rises higher than its source, and no corps of officers can dignify 
 an association unless its members are worthy and well ciualified. Masonry in 
 California in the pioneer days was composed of the better and most progressive 
 elements of society and was one of the keystones of good order and good govern- 
 ment. While Masonry is severely non-political, it still is impossible to prevent 
 Masons from taking an interest in political matters, and if the people persist in 
 electing members of Oakland Lodge to such positions as Mayor. Governor. Con- 
 gressman and United States Senator, how can we help it, except to regret that 
 they deserved such a fate? 
 
 Oakland Lodge has been honored ten times by the selection of one of its 
 members as Mayor of the city. The following members have been Mayor of 
 Oakland: N. W. Spaulding, Mack Webber, W. R. Davis, E. H. Pardee. James E. 
 Blethen, Henry Durant, John B. Felton, George C. Pardee, John L. Davie (twice). 
 
Past Master George C. Pardee has served the State of California as Governor, 
 and our distinguished brother, George C. Perkins, Past Grand Master of the 
 Grand Lodge of CaHfornia, after serving as Governor, has completed twenty 
 years' service as United States Senator, with credit to himself and honor to the 
 Fraternity. ^Masonry cannot too highly honor men of this type, men who have 
 reflected honor on our ancient and honorable fraternity, men who have not been 
 ashamed to mingle with their brethren before election, during their term of 
 office and after its expiration. 
 
 The service flags of the various Masonic Lodges show that Masonry is the 
 school of patriotism and that the teachings of our Worshipful Grand Master, 
 George Washington, have not been forgotten by his ^Masonic children. 
 
 On an appropriate page in this publication appears the roster of those 
 members of Oakland Lodge who have offered their services for Freedom and 
 Humanity. 
 
 Oakland Lodge has ever been blessed with harmony, and while of course 
 there have been, from time to time, differences of opinion as to details of man- 
 agement, at no period has there been any lack of fraternal feeling. \\'e have 
 moved on, steadily on, and today our association is stronger financially, stronger 
 numerically, and, best of all. stronger fraternally than ever before. 
 
 We have completed a half century of existence. \\'e must look forward 
 rather than backward. Who can picture the Oakland of 1968? Who can fore- 
 tell the Lodge No. 188 of 1968? Another will write the chronicle of the second 
 fifty years of our beloved Lodge. May his pen record as prosperous a period 
 and as useful a half centurv of Masonrv as are enclosed in this booklet. 
 
 'In those 'whom we condemn as ill, 
 I find so much ofi goodness Hill; 
 In men whom we pronounce divine, 
 I find so much of sin and blot, 
 I hesitate to draw the line 
 Between the two, where God has not.

A DOUGHNUT'S LAMENT 
 
 By Tauiesin Evans 
 Dedicated to Oakland Lodge Xo. 188, F. & A. M. {18G8— October 14—1893) 
 
 Years ago the "modest collations" of Oakland Lodge No. 188 consisted chiefly of dougli- 
 nuts, crackers, cheese, fruit and coffee. The doughnut cut the most conspicuous figure on the 
 banquet board, but it had grown so hoary with age that the brethren generally desired to see 
 it perpetually retired. The late Brother Charles E. Gillett was the Tyler and caterer of the 
 Lodge. Appeals by the Master, George C. Pardee, and others, fell on deaf ears. Brother 
 Gillett always falling back on the doughnut as necessary from a standpoint of economy. It 
 was finally abolished through the reading of the following lines by Brother Taliesin Evans, 
 at a banquet held on October 14, 1893, the doughnut speaking for itself: 
 
 It is twenty-five years, or p'raps more, ago 
 
 Since the hour when first I saw daylight, you know, 
 
 In a dingy old cellar on lower Broadway — 
 
 The town was in petticoats clothed, then, they say — 
 
 My form was well rounded, my features were fair. 
 
 And, O, I was feted and courted — well — everywhere ! 
 
 The "dad of the Lodge" was then handsome and young 
 
 And whispered sweet things that never were sung. 
 
 But, O, he was bashful, and so dreadfully shy — 
 
 He'd fondle me, then drop me, and never say why ! 
 
 And after him came others in annual course — 
 
 Each one in his turn making matters much worse. 
 
 'Till now, my dear friends, I'm like Northey's white hat — 
 
 I'm faded and jaded and old and all that. 
 
 The years have sped onward in rapid array 
 
 And I have grown wrinkled and haggard and gray ! 
 
 My form is now shriveled, my features are hard — 
 
 There's no one who'll touch me or say a kind word. 
 
 I've been kicked and been cuffed and been tossed all around, 
 
 I've been placed on the shelf and thrown on the ground, 
 
 Until I'm at last forced to sing my lament, 
 
 And say like the poet of old, "Let 'er went !" 
 
 For twenty-five years have passed o'er me, you see. 
 
 And now I'm as dead as a doughnut can be ; 
 
 So what is the use to cry or to fret — 
 
 I'll surrender the ghost without hindrance or let. 
 
 Saying good-bye to you, brethren, and ta ta to Gillett. 
 
 After the stated meeting, held December 3, 1910, the doughnut reappeared for the first 
 time in seventeen years at the banquet, which prompted the following lines, read at the 
 installation banquet, December 10, 1910, by the same author, the doughnut being again the 
 medium of expression : 
 
 THE RESURRECTION 
 
 By Tai.iesin Evans 
 Read at Oakland Lodge No. 188, F. & A. M., December 10, 1910 
 
 'Tis seventeen years since, on this mundane sphere, 
 
 You, brethren, gave me decent burial here. 
 
 I then gave up the ghost because old age 
 
 Had done its work and reached that crucial stage 
 
 Of impotence and positive decay 
 
 Which comes to every mortal in his day. 
 
 [22] 
 
The one who gave me birth has passed awav. 
 Returning whence he came to turn to clay ; 
 His shade has flown to that celestial land, 
 Where stands a temple builded not by hand, 
 To wait the trump of Angel Gabriel's horn, 
 That heralds break of Resurrection Morn. 
 
 You thought, no doubt, you'd seen the last of me, 
 
 And vanished as a bygone memory, 
 
 Which even Time could never more revive, 
 
 However energetic it might strive. 
 
 But here I am brought back to life. 
 
 And in that world of woe and ceaseless strife 
 
 And company, where once I reigned supreme. 
 
 And at each festive board was chiefcst theme. 
 
 Is this "the resurrection and the life" 
 
 A Mason treasures as he does his wife? 
 
 If in a resurrection he believe, 
 
 And final immortality achieve. 
 
 Then he should greet the miracle, by heavens ! 
 
 Accomplished by his brother, Robert Evans, 
 
 That brings me back once more to reign. 
 
 Dead doughnut though I be, I'm here again.
