It begins in 1872 at the Knickerbocker Hotel  in New York City led by dr. Walter Fleming and   actor William J Florence 13 Master Masons form  a social club for fun they create a mysterious   Near Eastern theme it’s called the ancient Arabic  order Nobles of a mystic shrine and the popularity  

Soars by 1880 there are 7,200 members and 48  temples by 1900 there are 55,000 members and   82 temples in 1922 they build the first hospital  in Shreveport Louisiana and commit to the mission   of helping children with polio soon there  are 22 hospitals and the medical mission  

Grows this is the story of this extraordinary  Brotherhood and how it has changed the world Shriners a history of Brotherhood and compassion well as they say in the beginning in the  beginning when the shrine was formed it go  

Back into the 1870s when New York was quite a  popular place for just about everything going   on in the world at that time the civil wars  ended and in America’s biggest city New York   City a group of Mason’s comes together who  think that it’s great to be a Mason but that  

Lodge meetings are a little bit on the stuffy  stale side they meet regularly for lunch at a   place called the Knickerbocker in New York City  Manhattan and decide that they need to form a   club that will require you to be a Mason to  be a member of it we had two very prominent  

People who were really the movers and shakers  to start the organization Billy Florence who   was a very famous and well-known actor at that  time and dr. Fleming who was a very prominent   physician in New York City they were familiar  with some of the customs and culture of the  

Middle East and they decided that they would  wrap this club that they were about to form   around an Arabian Nights sort of pageantry kind  of theme and so the ancient Arabic order Nobles   of the mystic shrine is born as a social club for  Freemasons in New York City it grows from there

The Fez comes from Morocco the name of the city  is fans Morocco the emblems the cemetery the   Crescent and so on is taken from basically  the various parts of the Arabic nations it was the mystique part of it I think that was  intriguing to a lot of people both outside of  

Main Street and inside as well of course  and that was I think a great drawing card this is the way the men socialized they quite  often socialized without their wives without their   children and so this was in keeping with what they  did there was a great fellowship organization and  

They really knew how to give great banquets and  had good cigars at their festivities and there was   a lot of fun in the various communities wherever  these shrine temples were located they were very   charitable just like other parts of masonry  you know had been in their basic blue lodges

In those days you know the charity  would really meant an awful lot to   a lot of people because you didn’t  have the program do you have today   in there to take care of people who were  in in dire need health-wise or otherwise

Some of our members went to serve and didn’t  come back some of our members went to serve   and came back forever changed some of our  citizens went to serve and came back and   then we’re looking for something where they could  continue fellowship with their comrades and many  

Of them did choose the Masonic fraternity and  eventually Shriners as their home eventually   some of the members felt that maybe there needed  to be a little bit more purpose than just having   a good time but we have to remember that the  reason that the organization was founded was  

Because Mason’s thought that Lodge meetings were  too stale and they needed to have an organization   where they would have a good time so there  was quite a bit of back-and-forth for several   years at our Imperial council sessions  over just what the Shriners ought to do

Frailing at kendrick was a great leader  he was a mover and a shaker he was a very   persuasive individual and he really felt that  this organization Shriner’s should have a one   central charity that would benefit what was  needed so badly in society at that time and  

That was for treatment of children with polio  in that day polio was the scourge of the nation   many many children were affected by polio and  crippled for life the bubble speech that was   a speech that was given at an imperial council  session during a debate over whether a hospital  

Should should be founded by the Shriners  and operated as a charitable institution
