A Digest of Masonic Law, Rules and Regulations of the Grand Lodge, prepared by Past Grand Masters Pasco and Puleston, was adopted. ORATION.
The Grand Orator H. S. Yerger, D. D., delivered a very instructive and interesting oration, but being entirely extemporaneous, the same was not published. MASONIC HOME AND ORPHANAGE.
The Trustees of the Masonic Home and Orphanage reported amount of funds on hand $11,033.93, and urged upon the Brethren continued effort to raise the amount necessary to carry out the enterprise. 'l'HE LIQUOR QUESTION.
The Committee on Jurisprudence, in reviewing the decisions of the Grand Master, reported: The first d~cision is in reply to the question. whether a member of a Lodge in Florida, who is bookkeeper and accountant for one engaged in the liquor business, is liable to charges under our regulations. If the bookkeeper is under no obligations to his employer to promote his liquor business or to aid in the sale and delivery of intoxicating liquors, and, as the Grand Master states, has no other connection with such business than that of a clerical character, the committee agree with the conclusion of the Grand Master that he has not made himself subject to the penalties of the regulations relating to those who are engaged in the路 liquor traffic.

We wonder some brOad-minded ~rother did not move to make it 130 pages,. but we pres~me some metaphy.sical wiseacre in the Grand Lodge had calculated just how many "Procee.dings" would have to be reviewed, the length, breadth
