Three Raised Last Night:

Last night's communication featured the raising of three to the Sublime Degree. Several guests were there to witness the event from Chamblee, Fulton, Atlanta - Peachtree, Masters and Justice Lodge of Lima, Peru.

The candidates received their degrees in the warmly illuminated South Lodge. All of the Brethren participating did a great job in the Raising. However, last night's standout was Zeithlin Waters, Catechism Coach, who has led two excellent proficiency examinations in just two weeks. Great job!
