News From Lincoln Valley
Scottish Rite November 8th, 2006
Frank Sherman Land
June 21, 1890 - November 8, 1959
Founder, Order of DeMolay
This is the inscription on the
simple marker of his grave, level with the earth as are all other markers in the
cemetery, tells such a brief story.
Frank S. Land, known as "Dad" by thousands of boys he worked with and millions
whom he never met, was an inspiring individual whose story is worth telling.
From a struggling high school drop-out trying to support his family, to
successful businessman, and eventually, a member of the Kansas City Board of
Educations; from a Scottish Rite social worker with a dream of helping young men
to the founder of an international youth fraternity; from a timid young art
student to a man of national Masonic prominence who counted among his personal
friends the Presidents, Congressmen, Judges, and military leaders of the United
States; Frank Land's idealism and concern for youth touched the lives of
millions of Masons and young men.
On Sunday, November 8th, the call came from the hospital to the Land apartment.
As the family gathered in his room "A smile hovered upon the closed lips, the
closed eyes saw into the hidden world in which his soul began to wander. There
was a deep tranquility like a beautiful ritual of peace. He felt himself once
again speaking to his beloved boys. His wife and sister bent over him and
perhaps only in their imagination, heard the last words he scarcely breathed as
his soul passed into the great adventure beyond this life."
"It is the beginning."
Let us take a moment and remember this great man who
has touched millions of lives all over this world.
