St. John's and St. Andrew's Lodges-Free Masonry in Boston, as indicated, dates from 1733, when Henry Price, claiming authority from the Grand Lodge of England, as Provincial Grand Master of New Eng- land, opened a Provincial Grand Lodge, July 30, 1733. With the aid of ten brethren, Price initiated eight candidates. This was the beginning of the St. John Lodge of Boston, which held undisputed sway over Masonry in New England until about 1752, when certain of the brethren insti- tuted the St. Andrew's Lodge at the Green Tavern. The organization was without warrant or charter, which was according to usage at that time, but when opposed by St. John's, a schism broke out which lasted for forty years. In 1760 St. Andrew's received a charter from the Grand Lodge of Scotland, which widened the breach. In 1769, it united with several ancient Military Lodges to form the Massachusetts Grand Lodge with Joseph Warren as "Grand Master of Massachusetts, in Bos- ton, New England, and Within One Hundred Miles of the Same."

sequently, Paul Revere served in this capacity. The death of Warren on Bunker Hill, resulted in the Massachusetts Grand Lodge declaring its independency and sovereignty, thus becoming the first Independent Grand Lodge of Masons in America. In 1792, the Grand Lodge for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was formed by the union of the St. John's and the Massachusetts Grand Lodges, and since that time the history of the Craft in the State has been marked by little dissension.
Masonry in New England-Masonry in America was closely con- nected with the British military troops foisted upon the colonies prior to the Revolution, and made but little growth among the Provincials. There had been Masonic lodges in England since 1617, the Grand Lodge of that country dating from a century later. There was only one degree in the order until 1724, when three were instituted. Brought to this country by the English troops and emigrants, there were a great many traveling lodges organized to meet the requirements. It is said that at least forty-nine charters were granted from 1746 to 1764 to lodges with the British troops, and the New England soldiers stationed away from home during the French Wars. After the Revolution, there was a gen- eral desire on the part of the veterans of the war for social organizations which would carry on the fellowships formed during the conflict. Many of the Masonic orders had disappeared with the British troops among whom they had existed, so that there was a large falling off in the num- ber of such bodies in this country. Before the end of the century, how- ever, there had been a general revival of the American Masonic lodges, and many of the New England and Boston organizations date from this time. Charlestown had a lodge relatively early; the Middlesex Lodge was formed at Framingham in 1795; the Washington Lodge of Rox- bury, the thirteenth chartered in Massachusetts, was instituted in 1796; and in 1797 several lodges were established, two, the Hiram of Lexing- ton, and the Meridian of Watertown, being the most notable of those in neighboring towns.
Masonic Temples-The first headquarters of Masonry in Boston was the Green Dragon Tavern or the Freemason's Arms. Later they were in a building on Tremont Street and Temple Place, which was formerly used for the United States Court House. The first of the Masonic struc- tures on the present site of the "Temple," corner of Tremont and Boyl- ston streets, was burned in 1864, and replaced by St. John's Day, June 24, 1867. The Masonic Temple of that time was a stately granite build- ing eighty-five feet wide, with octagonal towers rising to a height of one hundred and twenty feet. President Johnson was one of the many notables who were present at its dedication. The present hand- some Masonic Temple is another granite structure facing the Com-

Eastern Star-The Order of the Eastern Star, while not Masonry, is a fraternity open only to Master Masons, their wives, widows, chil- dren, sisters and daughters. The symbolism of its ritual clusters around the five pointed star of the Order, and the pentagon of the signet of Solo- mon. The society is supposed to have originated about 1850, but there is an account extant of the proceedings of an "Ancient and Honorable Order of the Eastern Star in holding a session and a ritual, May 18, 1793, at Boston." Women's orders had been introduced in Boston as early as 1776, and possibly the Eastern Star came in at that time. The organization was conspicuous for its charitable work during the war of 1812. The present order is usually credited to William Morris, a na- tive of Boston.
The official and chapters of the Order of the Eastern Star in Bos- ton are as follows :

Independent Order of Odd Fellows-In point of origin, the Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows was second only to Masonry to become established in this country. There was Odd Fellowship in England long prior to any such named organization in America, but this was evi- dently of a different character, "being formed for social and convivial

purposes and adopting the initiatory rites, phraseology and organization of the Masons." The present day body has little connection with the old except that of name, but in America is a direct descendant of a lodge of the order founded in Manchester, England, in 1812, although the American organization was completely independent of the English so- ciety. The objects of the American body were, "the relief of the breth- ren, the interment of the dead, and the care of their widows and orphans." To these purposes, there have been added, in recent years, "the giving. of unsectarian religious instruction and the elevation of human char- acter."
The first lodge in the United States was the Washington, No. I, instituted in Baltimore, April 26, 1819. The Siloam Lodge, No. 2 of Boston, was the second of the order, and organized just one year later to to the day. Commonwealth Lodge, of Dorchester, and Washington Lodge of Boston were third and fifth, respectively, to be founded in this country. The Encampments, composed of members of higher degrees, and the Rebekah Lodges, originated in Boston; and the Independent Order of Odd Ladies, was instituted in East Boston in 1845. The head- quarters of the Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment of Massachusetts, are at 170 Newbury Street. The various lodges meet in their neighbor- hoods, some having their own buildings. Details as to the different di- visions of the order, names, and meeting times and places are as follows :
