Welcome to Lake City Masonic Lodge
Holiday Greeting
The Master of Lake City Lodge No. 127, Christopher Reis and all of it’s members extend the very best wishes to all of our friends and the community for the Holiday Season. As we bring 2011 to a close and prepare for the new year it is a good time to reflect. We have extended our reach well into the community and continue to be blessed with many fine new members. District Deputy Grand Master R∴W∴ John E. Krauss reminds us that Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth are the core principals that have stood the test of time since the earliest days. Let us move forward with conviction and faith as we prepare to embrace the New Year while always extending our hand to a fellow Brother and to the community. God Bless all of you and have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season from all of us at Lake City Lodge No. 127.

Reference
Oil on canvas on panel by David Martin, 1767. Original: 127.2 x 101.4 cm (50.08 x 39.92 in). Current location White House Washington, D.C., United States.
Notes from Kloss, William, et al. Art in the White House: A Nation's Pride. Washington, D.C.:
The White House Historical Association, 2008: “The portrait of Benjamin Franklin was commissioned by Robert Alexander, of the firm of William Alexander & Sons, Edinburgh. The impressive beribboned document held by Franklin in the portrait is not a treaty or an Act of Parliament, but one of Alexander's deeds! The other books and pamphlets suggest the learned evidence brought in support of a wise man's decision. The bust of Isaac Newton, whose gaze is directed toward Franklin, invokes the greatest English voice of Reason.”
“[T]he portrait nonetheless sits squarely in the broader tradition of Enlightenment. The pressure of the thumb against the chin - expresses the pressure of concentrated thought (the painting has sometimes been called the ’thumb portrait‘), and the refracted light of Franklin's spectacles on his cheek furthers the effect.”
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.
