The honorable station of Past Master is usually honored by the brethren; generally it is considered as second in importance only to that of the presiding Master. And he is a wise and good Master who sees to it that the brethren of his lodge understand that 'Past Master' is no empty title, but carries with it certain rights and privileges, certain duties and responsibilities, all set forth in the general body of Masonic Law, although differing in some respects in different Jurisdictions; certain unwritten attributes which become more or less important according to the character and abilities of the individual Past Master. - Excerpt, The Past Master, Short Talk Bulletin, 1931

Anaheim Lodge #207 was chartered in 1870 by a group of masons to assist a worthy brother in distress. Through the years, decades and even well past the century mark, our Lodge and our Craft has been served with distinction by many great men. As Masters of Anaheim Lodge #207, these men have shown great leadership by their deep involvement in Lodge activities and by the personal sacrifice necessary to steer the Lodge and plot the course for the future.

The Past Master is the backbone of the Craft and the Lodge. We honor those that have come before us. It is their wisdom, knowledge and experience that has lead us to the Lodge that we have become today.
