Our Dead in Sister Jurisdictions


(For list see following page)


SAILING AWAY


Their barks have silently sailed away, Across the shadowy, unknown sea; The mists have hidden their snow-white sails, From the sight of gazers-you and me. Their ships will never be seen again, Nor lie at anchor near this fair shore; We have no chart of their lonely voyage, We know but this-they will come no more. We will watch and wait a little while, Till the Harbor-master sets us free; And then, with our freight of hope and faith, We, too, shall sail o'er the unknown sea.

A PERSONAL TRIBUTE Charles Clyde Hunt TOM BENTLEY THROCKMORTON, P.G.M.


June 1924 was a propitious month and year. It was then that the Grand Lodge of Iowa met in Des Moines to hold its eighty-first annual communication. On the Sunday evening preceding the open- ing of the Grand Lodge, Right Worshipful Brother LeRoy C. Dunn, Grand Treasurer, invited a few of his Masonic friends to a buffet supper at his home. I presume because I was Master of the lodge, of which Brother Dunn was a member and an honored Past Master, that I was included among the favored guests. It was at his home that I had my first close contact with the great and near-great in Iowa Masonry.


As my host introduced me to his guests-most of whom I had not previously met-it became my good fortune to clasp the hand of Charles Clyde Hunt, Deputy Grand Secretary. While I knew him by reputation, since I had read many of his articles as they appeared in the GRAND LODGE BULLETIN, still I never had met Iowa's premier Masonic scholar. His greeting was kindly but not effusive. His handclasp was firm but not overly strong. Rather it imparted to one's hand that sense of genuine wholesomeness which comes from the heart. All during the evening I noticed that Hunt was the center around which much conversation took place.


As I grew to know the man during the coming years I understood why he was so popular. His knowledge of things Masonic made him a much-sought-after individual, and his ability to dispense in- formation to his brethren created a forum of questioners and listeners whenever he happened to be among members of the Craft.


Following my personal meeting with Charley Hunt-for he was universally known by that name among the Craft wheresoever dis- persed over the globe-I was privileged to come more and more in contact with him. As I mounted the ladder which led to mystic fame in the Grand Lodge of Iowa, I learned to know him better and to appreciate his true worth. I ever found him friendly, kind, cour- teous, and helpful. I became deeply indebted to him during the year I served as Grand Master. I again present the tribute I paid him in my address before the Grand Lodge, for it sums up, in a few words, my appreciation of this truly great Mason.


"I am under lasting obligation to our beloved Grand Secretary, Charles C. Hunt. To me he has ever been an inspiration, a refuge in


270


Proceedings of the


[Cedar Rapids


time of trouble, and a tower of strength in the hour of need. Always anxious to be of assistance, of a quiet and gentlemanly demeanor, firm in his convictions yet ever ready to yield to truth and right, a Masonic scholar without a peer, he has stood by me, and for me, four-square. In a manner, which in no wise is a recompense, I herewith acknowledge my indebtedness to Charlie Hunt, my friend and brother. May he long be spared for Iowa Masonry is my earnest prayer."


When Hunt assumed the office of Grand Secretary in 1925 he brought to the Grand Lodge of Iowa something which it had lacked since the days of the elder Parvin. He restored to the in- stitution those things which could come only from a scholarly mind, well balanced and equipped for organizational purposes. He had a penchant for research, for detail and for orderliness. No ques- tion was too insignificant for him to make reply. No letter ad- dressed to him was too trivial to go unanswered. No research prob- lem was too great for him to undertake. As Grand Master Harry Belt once remarked, "He was a veritable mine of information."


It was not alone these characteristics which endeared Charlie Hunt to the Craft. Important as they were, yet I question if they alone would have sufficed to make him the great Mason that he was. Rather I am inclined to believe it was the foundation on which his Masonic super-structure was erected that made him so outstanding in the Masonic world. In the first place, Hunt came from good stock. He was not reared in the lap of luxury. He knew what it was to undergo hardship and he knew what it was to do manual labor. He was self-sacrificing. He was ambitious to better himself. He was determined to acquire a college education. Those persons who knew him best, understand the hardship and privation he underwent to realize that goal. But earn a college degree he did. He builded on the innate gentle breeding that was his by inheritance. He was a true gentleman. He was loyal to his friends, his family, his Masonic connections, and, above all, to his church. He was never offensive in his religious propensities; rather he allowed his daily life to reflect those things which came from an active daily, Christian experience. It is my belief it was upon these particular traits that he builded the great super-structure which stands today as a monument which depicts Charles Clyde Hunt as he was-the man, the scholar, and the Mason.


So much has been written about this good man's Masonic career and connections that it would be presumptuous on my part to at- tempt to enumerate them. His many activities are laid up among the records in the archives of the various Masonic institutions of which he was a member. They are legion and attest to his great love for the Fraternity and of his never-ceasing work in its behalf.

I make mention of but two honors which came to him. One was when he was elected by unanimous vote, in 1937, to become the first and only Mason to hold the unique distinction of Honorary Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Iowa. The other accrued when he served St. Bartholomew Conclave as Sovereign in 1943. Many Com- panions within the sound of my voice will recall the masterly address he gave one year on Constantine and the founding of this Order.


There was a side of Charlie Hunt's life which, perhaps, is not generally known. I speak of his absolute unselfishness in his desire to serve Iowa Masonry. This is best illustrated by a promise he exacted from me during my administration as Grand Master. Real- izing the frailties and uncertainties of life he confided in me one day that he had a horror of growing old and, perhaps, of not being able to realize what age does, so insidiously, to one's mental acumen. "Tom," he said on that occasion, "I realize that I am getting along in years, and while I would appreciate serving the Craft as Grand Secretary until the centennial year of the Grand Lodge is reached, yet, I would gladly forego even that experience and willingly would step aside at any moment if I felt my mental faculties were such I no longer could serve the Craft efficiently and well. Therefore, I am asking you, as one skilled in mental problems, to come to me at any time you feel that I am slipping and give me due and timely warning. Under no circumstances would I. want to embarrass the Grand Lodge by filling the office of Grand Secretary without being in possession of a mind which is functioning normally."


I am glad to say I never had to fulfill my promise, and it was with real satisfaction that I witnessed the realization of his heart's desire at the centennial of the Grand Lodge in 1944.


My last official contact with Charles C. Hunt was at Grand Lodge in 1947. As installing officer, I was privileged to present him to the brethren as I inducted him into the office of Grand Secretary Emeritus. On that occasion I spoke as follows :


"I am most happy to present one who needs no introduction, your friend and my friend, Most Worshipful Brother Charles Clyde Hunt, Grand Secretary Emeritus of this Grand Lodge. I want at this moment to again acknowledge before the Grand Lodge my great indebtedness to Charlie for what he did for me when, as a youngster, I was coming up through the ranks of the Grand Lodge. I only can tell you of the peace and confidence and serenity which came to my soul at times when I needed advice and I knew I could obtain it from this illustrious Mason who, for fifteen years, served as Chairman of the Grand Secretaries' Conference at Washington, D. C. He is a Masonic scholar without a peer. He is beloved, from coast to coast, by Masons who have come in contact with him; who


272


Proceedings of the


[Cedar Rapids


know of the splendid work which he has done in this Grand Juris- diction as its Secretary and Librarian; and who are familiar with the many splendid writings which have emanated from his pen and have gone throughout the length and breadth of that land."


The applause which followed that act attested to the love and esteem in which the former Grand Secretary was held by his Masonic confreres. That was his concluding appearance in Grand Lodge.


Quietly, peacefully, and without fear, Charles Clyde Hunt, born November 9, 1866, dropped forever the working tools of life and entered into life eternal July 24, 1948. His old friend and Past Deputy, Harry A. Palmer, P.G.M., conducted the ritualistic burial service. Surrounded by surviving members of his family and many of his Masonic brethren, his mortal remains were laid to rest in Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery.


It was a beautiful summer afternoon and the setting for such an occasion was perfect. And as the chimes in the nearby chapel tower rang out in sacred tune, their notes seemed to hover over the gathered throng as a hallowed benediction to the life of one who early had placed his trust in God and who knew, in so doing, that his faith was well founded.
