Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons date from the creation of Light, calling it Anno Lucis, which they abbreviate “A.L.” signifying “In the Year of the Light.” The present year, “A.L.” 5918 is obtained by adding 4000 to the Vulgar Era. Thus: 4000 and 1918---5918.
Royal Arch Masons date from the year in which Zerubbabel began to build the Second Temple, 530 years B.C., calling it “Anno Inventions,” which they abbreviate “A. Inv.” signifying “In the Year of Discovery.” The present year “A. Inv.” 2448 is obtained by adding 530 to the Vulgar Era. Thus: 530 and 1918---2448.
Royal and Select Masters date from the year in which Solomon's Temple was completed, calling it “Anno Depositionis” which they abbreviate “A. Dep,” signifying “Year of Deposit.” The present year “A. Dep.” 2918 is obtained by adding 1000 to Vulgar Era. Thus: 1000 and 1918---2918.
Knights Templar date from the organization of their order, A.D. 1118, calling it “Anno Ordinis,” which they abbreviate “A.O.” signifying “Year of the Order.” The present year, “A.O.” 800 is obtained by subtracting 1118 from the Vulgar Era. Thus: 1118 from 1918---800.
Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Free Masonry date from the Hebrew Year, calling it “Anno Mundi” which they abbreviate “A. M.” signifying “In the Year of the World.” The present year “A.M.” 5678 is obtained by adding 3760 to the Vulgar Era. Thus: 3760 and 1918---5678. The New Year, 5679, will begin September 22, 1918 at sunset.
Sciots, so called from organization of Masonic Neighborhood Leagues existing in the Isle of Scio, near Greece, in the Aegean Sea, about 1160 B.C. Modern organization occurred in San Francisco 1906, so that 1918 is the 12th Sciot Year.
Members of the Eastern Star date from the “Year of the Rite,” A.D. 1850, at which time the degrees were arranged by Brother Robert Morris of Kentucky. The present year “A.R.” 68 is obtained by subtracting 1850 from the Vulgar Era. Thus: 1850 from 1918---68.
