Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short course is meant to provide an Introduction to the Capitular Degrees for those who have decided to take the next step on Freemasonry, following the Three Blue Lodge Degrees. There are many excellent books about the symbolism of the Chapter, but many of them are about the English (or so-called 'Domatic') system, and don't make easy reading for an American reader. There are also number of impressive Monitors, written by great men and Masons. Thomas Smith Webb and Albert Gallatin Mackey are but two of these luminaries. However, again these serve more as reference books to those who are already familiar with the Rituals and their meaning. It is hoped that this book fills the gap for the modern Companion who needs a little help to understand the Capitular environment. For this reason this course, in addition to giving an overview of the Degree, also looks at practical topics, such as the organization of a Chapter, Grand Chapter, the Constitutions, the Charities, and General Grand Chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Capitular Development Course is designed to educate Royal Arch Masons, in particular those who are members of the American or York Rite practiced in the United States and a number of other countries around the world. While the book may certainly be read on its own, having a copy of the Holy Bible to hand would assist in understanding much of the symbolism. This book is also intended to be used as a part of a course, run by a Facilitator, when a copy of the State Capitular Rituals should be used to accompany this course. Upon completion of the course, the Companion may consider himself both well versed in the messages and symbolism of the Capitular Degrees, and qualified to pursue his own further education. To this end, a number of books and courses recommended for further study are given at the end of this book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch of Capitular Masonry: From Its Introduction Until the Year Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-Nine At the Annual Convocation of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Illinois, held at the City of Chicago on October 27, 1898, the Grand High Priest, M. E. Comp. Eugene L. Stoker, in his annual address, directed the attention of Grand Chapter to the approaching semi-centennial anniversary of its organization and recommended the appointment of a committee for preliminary work in connection therewith. The next ensuing Convocation would be the fiftieth in point of numerical arrangement, but fifty years would not, in fact, have elapsed since the date of organization, wherefore he suggested that the celebration should not be held until the annual Convocation of 1900. The recommendation was referred to the Committee on Accounts, which reported back an indorsement of the recommendation and Grand Chapter concurred. Nothing, however, was accomplished during the year and at the ensuing annual Convocation, held on October 26, 1899, the Grand High Priest, M. B. Comp. Wm. B. Grimes, renewed the suggestion of his predecessor, and recommended that the first four officers of the incoming administration, together with the Grand Secretary, be appointed a committee to take such steps as to them might seem necessary or expedient to carry out the theretofore expressed wishes of Grand Chapter, which recommendation was also concurred in by Grand Chapter. As a result of the annual election the committee became formed of the following Companions: M. E. Comp. Nathaniel Bowditch, R. Ex. Comps. Geo. W. Warvelle, Chas. H. Patton, Alfred A. Whipple, and Gil. W. Barnard. The Committee, in pursuance of prior instructions and suggestions and after due deliberation, decided to commemorate this epoch of our history by striking a medal, by a memorial volume, and by a fraternal banquet. In the present work they have brought together a brief summary of the introduction of Capitular Masonry Into the jurisdiction; a sketch of its development and progress, and the salient features of its history during the last fifty years. To this has been added brief biographical sketches of distinguished members of the craft, both living and dead, who, during the semi-centennial period now ending have been actively engaged in the work of Grand Chapter, and, whenever same could be obtained, their portraits have also been shown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch of Capitular Masonry: From Its Introduction Until the Year Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-Nine The symbolism was crude and undeveloped and the philosophical teach ings scarcely more than a suggestion. The fifty years that next ensued were marked by a restless and ever increasing activity. The schism of 1738 produced a keen rivalry that soon begat competition. The Scottish lodges abandoning their operative character entered the speculative field; Ireland did the same; and soon five grand lodges struggled for su premacy in the British Islands. Then it/was that the simple legends that formed the basis of the early ceremonial were eagerly seized upon by the enthusiast, the visionary, and, not infrequently, by the schemer. Allegory and symbol pieced out the fragmentary traditions of the Ancient Craft, and imagination furnished historical evidence where the facts were wanting. Beyond the seas rites and systems arose like the exhalations of magic, and the fundamental ideas of primitive Masonry were expanded to the last stage of attenuation through the extended scale of degrees which in many cases were adopted. These years may well be called the period of the Masonic renaissance. A new impulse was imparted to the fraternity by the development and expansion of its old legends; an im pulse that in many cases was made to serve the purposes of the charlatan and trickster, but in the end was productive of the highest good, and from the confused and ill-digested mass that marked this epoch have been evolved the great rites that now dominate the Masonic world. With the exception of the three primary degrees of the Symbolic Lodge no degree in Masonry is so well known or widely diffused as that of the Royal Arch. When, where or how it originated is not definitely known, but the favorite theory of the students is, that it was fabricated by one Lawrence Dermott at or about the time of the so - called schism of the fraternity in England. This latter event occurred in the year 1738, and the first mention of the Royal Arch, so far as known, was in the year 1743. It was employed as an adjunct by both of the rival Grand Lodges of England and by them was introduced into the American Col onies, where it continued to be practiced in connection with craft lodges, the lodge warrant serving as a full authority for its conference upon candidates.' Until the latter part of the eighteenth century its govern ment was that of the lodge, but about 1790 a separation commenced to take place. The convocations in which it was conferred were called Chap ters, and certain detached degrees as well as new fabrications were about this time added to and included in the chapter jurisdiction. This was largely accomplished through the labors of Thomas Smith Webb, who may with propriety be styled the founder of the American Masonic system. From the fact that the Royal Arch and its subsidiary degrees are con ferred in bodies called Chapters they have now come to be generally styled the Capitular Degrees.
