“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 />
