MASONIC CALENDAR.
Freemasons possess dates peculiar to themselves, and all documents of a Masonic nature should be dated accordingly This distinction should always be adhered to.
Symbolic Masonry dates from the creation of the world, using the Latin names Anno Lucius, signifying the year oi light. Thus, to ascertain the date, to the common calendar 1890, add 4,000, give -5 5890, the date of Ancient Craft Masonry.
A. D. 1890, A. L. 5890.
