The short film "On the Wings of Words" and the colorful book Masonic Philanthropies: A Tradition of Caring (right) have become Masonic classics. Hosted by Ill. Ernest Borgnine, 33°, G.C., "On the Wings of Words" pictures the expanding work of our 136 Scottish Rite Childhood Language Disorders Centers, Clinics, and Programs.

Glimpses of therapy sessions and interviews with parents and clinicians combine with animated sequences to make this 17-minute film or VHS videotape a pleasure to watch and share as a Blue Lodge or Scottish Rite program. In addition, the videotape is a fine way to introduce our Order's main philanthropy to a wide variety of educational, civic, or service clubs such as PTA, Rotary, and Kiwanis. Combine viewing the film with a brief introduction and a question-and-answer period for a dynamic and inexpensive program everyone will enjoy. Ordering information is noted below.

Like "On the Wings of Words," Masonic Philanthropies by Dr. S. Brent Morris, 33°, is a delightful book that highlights not only the Scottish Rite's work with children but also the entire spectrum of Masonic philanthropy. Masons don't like to brag, but we shouldn't hide our light under a bushel either! The book's lavishly illustrated, updated, and expanded second edition provides an overview of the history and purpose of Masonry and shows how our Craft and its many Appendant Bodies are supporting a kaleidoscope of philanthropies ranging from medical research and specialty hospitals to scholarships and public buildings. This book is especially effective in answering the perennial question, "Just what do Masons do?"
