Reading of the 23rd Degree - University of Freemasonry

A very interesting session of the University of Freemasons was put on by the Knights of St. Andrew under the direction of W. Charles Smithson, Jr. Warden of the Lodge of Perfection.

The discussion following the reading was spirited and gave us all more to think about. The next degree reading will be in January.
