 PASSING OVER THE MACE
Reading some of the letters in your column I am reminded of an experience that happened to me ten years ago but has puzzled with me ever since.
At the time I was employed by a local Borough Council and one of my duties was to act as deputy to the Macebearer (Sergeant-at-Mace) which, amongst other things, involves escorting the Lord Mayor to the Civic functions.
I remember my friend the Macebearer taking me aside and saying "One day there'll be a nice pair of shoes for you to step into". Presumably he meant that I'd be his successor.
Eight months later I dreamed that my telephone was ringing. I answered it and across a hissing line heard a faint and distant voice. "It's all yours now, Mike." I knew it was my friend the Macebearer and I tried to question him but only heard a sound akin to 'white noise'.
I was awoken in the morning by my front door bell. It was another colleague who had been sent from the Council offices. He had come to inform me that the Macebearer had passed away the night before!
Michael C - Sergeant-at-Mace
 Your friend and predecessor obviously loved his job and wanted you to inherit his position. One of his last earthly duties was to inform you of the job vacancy. I believe that many traditions are continued in the spirit world.
For example, I have myself often given mediumistic messages from spirit people who, as proof of their identity, have shown themselves dressed in full Masonic regalia. I presume that if Freemasonry continues in the Afterlife then so does the tradition of the Macebearing.
