Delphian Lodge No. 44

Delphian Lodge No. 44 Meetings on the 2nd Thursday at 7:30 p.m. except for July & August.

Variously known as Freemasonry, Masonry or The Craft, the beginnings of our fraternity are lost to history. Although Masonry is believed to be the oldest surviving fraternal organization in the world, the exact date of its founding is uncertain. Freemasonry can, however, be easily traced to sixteenth century Scotland although the first Masonic governing body was not founded until 1717 in London. B

y 1723, the Constitutions of the Freemasons were assembled and published and although that document explicitly refers to an alleged meeting of masons in England assembled by Prince Edwin, the son of the tenth-century Saxon king Athelstan, there is no supporting evidence to this claim. Despite this, theories that the fraternity is much older than the Age of Enlightenment exist, and most historians accept that the Craft is descended from the medieval stonemason’s guilds.

A good friend of Delphian Lodge has laid down his earthly working tools and is now working directly with the Grand Architect.

A rare occasion.

It's been a day or two since its been seen but, while moving the Tyler's desk out from the wall, we found the history paper that goes with the picture that has been hanging on the wall over the desk for years. Nobody in modern times knew the significance of the picture, but it seems one of our secretaries did some research. (See how important those minutes they take are...who knew!) ❤

As we start on our 159th year in Garnett, we look forward to the unknown journey ahead.

As we prepare to move, we have rediscovered the records from the lodges in Greeley (211) and Westphalia (Avon 305) which consolidated with us. As we continue, we hope to find the records from the Richmond Lodge (426) which we helped charter in 1922.

In Freemasonry, we find unity in our diversity, strength in our brotherhood, and purpose in our shared principles.

Kansas Lodge of Research - KSLOR Director Alex Powers was a surprise visitor at our meeting and the Master unexpectedly called upon him to provide Masonic Education. He knocked it out of the park with a seemingly off-the-cuff talk about the history of the Kansas Grand Lodges and the upcoming 25 year celebration. (Make sure and get registered to attend.)
