All Royal and Select Masters are invited to attend a full-form, costumed performance of the Super Excellent Master Degree, hosted by Houston Council No. 1, at the Scottish Rite Center at 2401 West Bellfort, Houston, Texas, on August 29 at 1:30 p. m.
This Degree is a drama of five acts depicting the Biblical events surrounding the fall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile. Chronologically, the events of the Degree fall between those of Most Excellent Master (the completion of King Solomon's Temple) and the Royal Arch (the return of the exiles to Jerusalem).
The degree of Super Excellent Master is not allied to the other two degrees of the Cryptic Rite, as far as its teachings and traditions are concerned. It is required to be conferred in some jurisdictions, while in others (such as Texas) it is only an honorary degree.
