A Century of Masonic Purpose 1951
The Grand Lodge of Oregon at the 1951 Annual Communication had the newly assigned Centennial Committee give a report on the progress of the upcoming September 1951 Centennial.
As a side note many Masonic Lodges in the Oregon Jurisdiction each were preparing for their own 100th Centennial Observance. In many of the lodge historical files held within the archives of the museum of the Grand Lodge of Oregon can be found the individual lodge centennial programs.
In 1951 an address was given at the Oregon City Senior Hight School. The program was called, “A Century of Masonic Purpose”.

pears to be a scan of a dues card not a certificate of standing. Dated 1848!
. I am peculiarly interested in the early correspondence between lodges during the 1860’s-1890’s. This time in Oregon Freemasonry were growing pains for the Grand Lodge of Oregon and how they received communications from their subordinate lodges and also communicating with them from the GLO.
