Thank you David.
I am wondering if in LDH or other Co-Masonic Orders do we have this "Corner stone levelling cermony?"

Not that I'm aware of, Bro:. Patrick -- but some of the elements mentioned in the article sound reminiscent of that of a consecration ceremony.

In 1908 the Grand Lodge of South Dakota conducted the cornerstone ceremony for the South Dakota State Capitol building in Pierre. We'll be re-enacting the ceremony on June 20, 2008, in a centennial celebration at the State Capitol. That's right in the middle of the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge - so you can kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Grand Lodge is in Mitchell. The State Capitol is 155 miles away in Pierre. Motorcoaches will leave Mitchell for Pierre and back early on Friday morning, June 20. Oh, by the way, it's pronounced "Peer" or "Pier," not "Pee-Air." Just didn't want to the locals laughing at your expense!

Back in the early 60's I remember the MPGC of the AFHR conducting a ceremony in Marie Deraismes L., involving corn (grains of wheat), wine & oil when the L. started meeting at a new location. The L. was represented by an oblong box which received the oblations. That was also the occasion when the public was invited to witness to L's adoption of two children of one of it's members. It had to have been memorable, since I can still remember that the word "Perseverance" figured prominently in the ceremony.

Bro Stepnwolf, that sounds like there was a Consecration of a New Lodge or the Temple in which it was held, then our Lewis Ceremony.
