Eureka's Secretaries

"Masters come and go. Of Lodge Secretaries it has been written 'few die and none resign.' Lucky is the Lodge which has an old and experienced Secretary, and one of the reasons for that 'luck' is that the Secretary, continuing his office from year to year, in a short time comes to represent the Lodge to the individual member as few Masters ever can. It is to the Secretary that the member goes with his troubles. It is the Secretary of whom he seeks advice. It is the Secretary to whom he takes his Masonic joys and sorrows, and he is of the class of the best Secretaries who becomes all things to all the Brethren of his Lodge; who knows the individual circumstances of each Brother. It is the Secretary who knows when a Brother is ill, when a Brother has a birth or death in his family, who is a guide, philosopher, friend, first aid, good companion and really a Brother to every member of his Lodge."
