Talk by RW Alan Wakeham on Philately and Freemasonry.
Preceptor thanked RW Bro Wakeham on his lecture and how it is possible to advance in Masonic Knowledge by studying Stamps. There followed discussion on this subject.
What I am about to read is a précis of a 23 page document given to me by Wor Bro Alan Bunn of Victoria many years ago.
Philately is another name for stamp collecting.
The word Philately is derived from the Greek word "Philos" meaning loving and "Tele" free from tax.
