At the Stated Meeting in January, 1917, the Fees for initiation and membership were increased to $100, of which $20 were applied to the Masonic Homes of the Grand Lodge.
At the March meeting Brother Jacob H. McConnell was elected as Trustee in place of Brother Henry Price, deceased.
The use of chain letters by Masonic Lodges was strictly pro- hibited by the Grand Master in a communication dated March 17, 1917. The chain letters concerned the "so-called Masonic Prayer".
An edict by the Grand Master was received stating that not more than 50 new members may be added by any one Lodge in one year. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania urged each member to contribute $2 to a fund to be placed in charge of the Grand Lodge and to be used for the benefit of needy dependents of members of the various lodges now engaged in war. 126,000 members ( Masons) were in the State of Pennsylvania at this time.
By a resolution adopted on October 2, 1917, at a regular Stated Meeting, Chandler Lodge Resolved : "to co-operate with the Masonic Relief Association of the United States and Canada and to con- tribute one cent per capita thereto." The Masonic Relief Association is a non-profit organization made up of the representatives of 40 odd Grand Lodges and over 100 Masonic Relief Boards. Its purpose is to prevent imposition upon the fraternity by impostors and un- worthy members.

CHAPTER VIII 1918-1928
The decade 1918-1928 was an era of great national prosperity and saw Chandler Lodge increase its membership to 921, a gain of 369 members.
