“If the time ever comes when the <strong>Scottish</strong> <strong>Rite</strong> determines to remain<br />
static, when its philosophy may not be adjusted to the needs of a changing<br />
world, then is the time for its obsequies. Until then, its leaders<br />
should never abandon study of the philosophy of its ritualistic teachings<br />
that, by recast and revision, it may keep in the van of advancing<br />
civilization.”<br />
Melvin Maynard Johnson<br />
Sovereign Grand Commander<br />
(1943 Allocution)<br />
“It shall be the duty of the Committee on Ritualistic Matters to study<br />
and from time to time to suggest revision of all rituals and ceremonials<br />
of the <strong>Scottish</strong> <strong>Rite</strong> within this jurisdiction, to make recommendations<br />
with respect thereto, and to report thereon to the <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Council</strong> at<br />
each annual meeting.”<br />
