Excerpt from Fiftieth Anniversary, Oakland Lodge No; 188, Free and Accepted Masons, Oakland, California, 1868-1918
To the pioneer it seems as if Masonry in the Days of Gold meant more than in these present days. Perhaps it is due to the fact that distance lends enchantment to the view, or it may be that the multiplicity of fraternal orders in these modern times, when organizations seem to spring up in a single night like mushrooms. Or perchance there were more opportunities for brotherhood when the Pacific Coast was thronged With pilgrims from almost every land on earth, and the term brother meant really the tenets of our Order, Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. How or whv we know not, but this we do know, that the Square and Compass were symbols of true fraternity in pioneer days, and that even the sons of pioneers can bear witness of the great services rendered by the brethren of the Mystic Tie. The roster of the Grand Lodge, F. A. M., is largely the roster Of men who did things, and did them honorably, and the Mason who can read the names and deeds of California pioneer Masons, without emotion, has lost his enthusiasm, or never had any to lose.
On April 17, 1850, a meeting was held, attended by representatives of four Masonic Lodges, to consider the advisability of forming a Grand Lodge for the State of California.
