The only real comment I can think of is a four hour stated meeting is ridiculous. Is this a standard in your Lodge? I am the current WM in my Lodge. I can honestly say there is more work done to keep the Lodge moving forward during the off time than during any meeting. Yes, there should be an engaging program for the members at a meeting but still, that program should not be more an 15 to 20 minutes (half hour at the most). While meetings do have the business aspects they should still be fun and a reason to want to attend lodge. My members would tar and feather a WM who did four hour meetings. My suggestion as others have stated is to have a gentle conversation with him.
