To the Masonic student, ,vho never goes below the surface of resolutions and words, these proceedings appear but a vast accumu.. lation of statistics, dry and musty as the statutes of a legislature j hut to him who worlts out by diligent application the foundation principles upon which all law is baseu, ,,"ill find in the annual ad.. dr~~ses, and the reports of officers and cOlnmittees, and the decisions rendered upon inlporiant questions continually arising, food for thought and study which will richly repay all the labor he bestows upon them. To read theln only requires much time and reflection, and to analyze them,. and present their contents in a 4i«_ed form f<i)r the Cra.ft, requires much. labor, and this labor has b~en assigned as a part of the oftieial d\ltles of :rour humble Comnlittee, ,vhich duty he has .1ldeaV'or~d to perfornl outside of llis regular hours as Grand Secretary, for no man can talk to a l"lalfdozen persons at once, and at the same tIme ,vrite a report on I?areign Oorre&pondence. ~jvery corr~SpOlldel1t, ,ve UQW, naturally shrinks £rOlla writtng his report, but as there is no (Jtrodging ours we must proceed with the work, and tIle :ir$t @'n~ which presents itself in alph8r~eticCal (>Jrd~r j~ tha,t from the good old State of

" In this wOl,.Jld, where everything is transient and unsettled, we look with. peetlliar anxiety fOT something that is permanent; we liite to create objects whieh can sUl"vive the fleeting life of 1n&11 ; objects which, banded down from generatioll 00 generntio~ll, are revived in each succeeding race, and amid the DlortaHtyof the W'orid, catch an ilnmortality froln the zeStI and devotion of roBiD. &"Uch objects 81S these are tIle perpetual vehi01eSl of thought; they impe:>se upon both the same mystic bonds, and weave the diatallt portions of the human 1"aoe together in one gteat family . "By the force of this fraternal con11exiol'l, the antipathJes of hostile natiollS are overcon1e; pauNiotism breaks o'Vcr the bounds of clime and 1&n8uag~t allt! enlarge'S until it embtaCles the world.

U Our Order, founded upon truth, has for its Il1aker and builder, GOD., Then how proper and important is it for us to give unto our Great and Glorious l\Iaster Builder our ,vhole llearts in adoration, prMse, and thanksgiving, for his wonderous work, and grace, and goodness, to the children of men? Not unto us, not unto us, but unto Him be all the praise, adoration, grace, and glory." When one concludes reading thoughts like these, it n1akes us rethat all the ,vork of the heart l\fasol1 and the soul Mason has not been in vain. It tells us: that every tree shall bear its O'V11 frUit, and that no fruit shall be worthless when gathered from a tree planted beside the pure waters of virtue and truth. ali~e

The Grand Master pa,id a fitting tribute to the melnory of Bro. â&#x20AC;˘Ja8. L. Price, P. D. G. M_ of Als,bama, and of Bro. Chas. A. Fuller, P. G. M. and Grand Secretary of Tennessee, also of Bro.. Jalnes l'>enn, P. G. "M. of Alabama. In spe,aking of the Orphans' flome, &t Lauderdale Springs, Mississippi, he recites this simple but tonching story, and the heart which can beat U111110ved at the thought of that little girl's heart should go to a land where innocence and helplessness is a crime. He says: ft In Mississippi, at Lauderdale Springs, a Honle for orphans iB in sllcoessful operation; there are now within its "ralls ninety odd orphans of Masons, besides many others; a little girl liVing ill Ke~tuck:Y, Jennie Moxley by name, nine years old, became iUlpressed with the importance, of the SUbject, and gave all her money she was saving to buy a doll for the benefit of the Home at Lauderdale Springs; still not satisfied, she, after much concern of mind, Oonsented to part with her Inen10ry string, composed of beads and flowers, very precious to her, and made nlCl1 tion of her desire to her mother, who informed her that no one would purchase her memory string; she replied in simple but grand faith) I can 'but try. She requested a gentleman of her acquaintance to take tI1& memory string and sell it, &nd send the proceeds to tIle Honle, w1;Lo upon meeting a friend .nd rel8tting the circumstance! imnlediately gave him ten clollar~t And returned it to hirn; and by repeated sales, this simple off~ing of & child of great faith, brought to the Home one thousand doll.rs~1'

found correct working, and a strong desire to conform to the work

of the Grand Lodge; but deficient as to the History, Jurisprudence and Philosophy of the Order, and 'V auld recommend to the Lodges that more attention be paid to Masonry, as a science; that a brother be appoiIlted to deli vcr an address, at each communicatioll, when time will adnlit, all the History, Jurisprudence and Philosophy of our ancient Order, its usages:and influence for good to man, which can readily be done by reference to the many excellent works published; particularly the Universal Masonic Library, so munificently presented. to each Lodge; the first and only Grand Lodge that thought it necessary to cultivate the intellect of its members and Lodge's by this lnagnificcllt gift.

"rrile Ritual is useful and necessary, but lllucil curnbered with ruallY words; but it is uy no nleans Masonry; the elucidation of our symbols in tho sen,r<;h of Truth, and the practice of its deductions thereby learneu, I consider to be, in deed and in truth, Masonry in its highe:::,t sense, as to uniformity, except in the essentials, 1.,iz: the G. W. and S., together with the traditions; it is a myth, and can ne'v'er JJe accomplished. II I ,vould also reCOU1111elHl that the Graud Lodge take action relative to the elothing suitable for the three degrees, and forbid the motley appearanee so often seen on festival occasions. Let us, brethren, seek out the old paths, and walk therein. Masonry is not for show or glittering jewels, or spangled garbs, but for deeds of usefulness, 'let not thy right hand know ","hat thy left doeth, 7 should be our Inotto. .

"I would also recolllluelld that our ancient law relati ve to the appearance of Masons in public on festival days be strictly ob-

served, and that perlnission be first had of the Grand Master for sucb. public display.. I would also reconimend that all voting ill Lodges, e:x:cept by ballot, be done by uplifted hands, the ancient mode.J H I r~oommend that the Lodges be required to cause the petitioners for initiation to insert in their petitions that they have never applied to any other I..lodge." i<

He favors a change in the Constitution, restol~illg to the Grand Master the power to choose bis own Deputy, on the ground that the Deputy should be in perfect accord With the Gr~nd Master. He delivered very sensible l'elllark~ l路elativa to keeping the Grand Dodge of Aucient York Rite free from all the so-called Rites of the day~ This was drawn forth by a communication from Paris, &OOllt a difference between the Grand Orient of Fr&noo and the

M. W. Bro. Wnl. C. Penick, Past Grand l\Iaster, sulHuitted Ull able report 011 correspondence, reviewing forty-two Grand I..JodgeR, ours of 1867 included. In opening his report he says: H If we should be a little sharp on those who grant dispensa.. tions to make or advance Masons, in short time, or in violation of Masonic law and usage, it is because we th.ink them in error; \vt\ have no personality of feeling in the matter, and if we are wrong in the matter give us a reason. Obsta principiis. If Masonry is not now: what it was, there is no security for the future. IJet there be unanimity, universality and fraternity." Under the head of J.\!Iissouri he pays a very lligh cOlllplinlent to Grand Master Vinci!, by quoting largely from his address of that year 7 and our modesty forbids us saying anything of his flattering notice of our report; sufficient to say, it met his 11eartyapproval. M. W. Bro. Geo. D. Norris, M. D., of Ne,v Market, ,vas elected Grand Mastel"; R. W. Bro. Daniel Sayre, of Montgomery, ~ras reelected Grand Secretary, and Bro. Wrn. C. Penick, M. D., of W()tumpka, was re-appointed COlnn1ittee on Foreign CorreApondenee. OUf alphabetical arrangenlents still find us in tIle sUllny South, and we cross the ".Father of vVaters" to dwell awhile ,vith our ~ister Btate of

ARKAN8AS. Here we find that the Grand Lodge Inet on the 16th of Novelllber last, at which M. W. Bro. Elbert H. English presided oyer the representatives of 98 Lodges, out of 196 in the State, 185 of ~,rhi<:h made annual returns.

Bro. ]Jnglish, in his annual address, still loves to linger in the great field of scientifio and literary illustrations of our grand old symbolism. We love to read his deductions from these investigations, because they are rich in thought and furnish food for reflection, and regret that space will not permit us to reproduce Ilis entire 路 address, but shall ask you to dwell in patience for a few mon1ents while we extract a sample of the fruit he has gathereti from the tree of knowledge. He says: " ~Iuch the nlore interesting features of lVlasol1ry are legen<.h:l.ry, transmitted to us through successive generations of craftsmen, froIn the earlier ages of the world-from ages whell there was no printing, wh~n book-making was rare, books were fe,v, and men learned wisdom from tIle Great Book of Nature.. "Not long sinoe a venerable Hebrew brother told me a stor:Y' which I had never heard before; and which he said he learned

&, boy, ill the fatherland, frOJll his ~1ged uuele, \vho \Vab a Mason, and who assured hinl that he had it in a very ancient parchment m&lluscript, whtch had never been printed. Pleased with the story, I said to birll that I would tell it to the Grand Lodge sE:>Jue day, and let it be printed, as it was no secret.. So I give it to you now for what it is \vorth. It is the story of SOLO-

MON, THE RA.VBN AND TIlE WORM.

"SOl{)nlOn, the Most Wise, ,vas sitting ill a grove, near his rural palaee, observing a raven feeding her young.. Whilst she was off in search of food, telling a servant to bring him a glass bowl, he plaoed it over h~r nest so as to cover the young birds.. When she re.. tUlltled to the nest, the young ravens opened their mouths to receive the supplies whieh the Inother was &Cctlstolned to bring thenl; and she, llleeting with the transparent obstruction, fluttered about it for some time in vain attempts to reach her iInprisoned children. Vexed, she made repeated but ineffectual efforts to break the vessel with her beak. Despairing of success in this nlode of attacl{, she lighted upon a linlb, near by, and sat for :,01ne tinle, seerning to medItate. 'l'hen leaping into the air, and spreading her black ""vings;,. she moved off vvith lapid flight in the direction of an island â&#x20AC;˘ in the Mediterranea.n Sea. Our Grand Master, who had watched 'vith interest all her movemellts, sat ,vaiting for her return. Fi.. nally she eame, bearing in her beak a large white wornl; and plal~ing it on the rim of the nest J near the edge of the bowl, it crAwled over the vessel, and along its track the glass instantly era.ok0d, as if cut by a diamond, parted, and fell to the ground! H The rnaions were in the quarries preparing stones for the ternp1e. They used the drill and the wedge, but the process of parting the stones by these simple implements ,vas tedious. The idea tI&shoo upon the millU of SolomoIJ. that, by the instinct of the raven, Previdelloo had p}a,ced in his hauds a ,vollderful, but most effective iD&trQmellt.. 1?&king the "\VOltK to the quarries, he placed it upon SIt gre:&t stoo~ which the la,bv:rers had heaved out from the mOUllbaJ:D; it ~r&wl$d ateooas it, arn-l to the an:u\zement of the wise man, .~ eton~ opeuM along its path, ttnd tumbled apart.. Thousands of Âˇ $~n_ were thus separated into s4JtitabLe rough ashlers, to be :finished by the chisels and mallets of the craftsmen!

uSach is the fntbst&11ee of thE; stolY. It may be a mere fable.

It nl~ be that the in9'eet exmr6ted trom its body some mysterious ohemieal sltbs'ba:.rtee that part.t .~ ~las;s and the stone. Or it may be that PrOVidence, who oo1\fou.nds the wisdom of men by using simple means to effect great P~tlpOSe$, supplied to Solonlon this eraftsmaLll t to aid in. the great work of erecthltg a temple for his worship.. wonde~ful little

"Be thiE, as it lllay, I have repeated this' Strange Story' to illustrate the fact that SOlOI11011, like Job, ,vas a student of the Book of Nature, fl"Olll every great page of ,vhich-whether he looked upon the sea, into the air, upon the earth, all teem.ing with life, or up into the heavens, sparkling with the lamps of night-he learned, as all Masons may, lessons of ,:viro;doln. II It i~ a prevailing opinion that if a man can neither read nor wlite, he is necessarily uneducated. But this does not follow. Adam never had a book, and yet he must have been a man of WOll .. (lerful int&lligence,. to have given names to the infinite variety of objects "which surrounded hinl-the names expressillg, too, tIle peculiar nature of each object, as .JoRephus tells us, '\vho insist~ that he spoke the Hebrew language.

"The bee hive is a prominent syn1bol in the third degree. Tll(~ bees are wise little craftsmen. They are skilled in 111athenlatics, for the form of their cells, the hexagon, is a figure best adapted to compactness and solidity. They hnve a king and a queen, and in this they harmonize with tho prey-ailing usage of mankind in all age~ and countries. Whether the Alnericans have acted wisely in departing from the olel forUl of government, and erecting our boasted republic, is yet to he Roen. N1ttiol1s have their infancy, maturity, decay and death; and new nations spring up from their graves. History but repeats itE,elf. vVhat is to be the fate of this gre~tt structure, founded in n10tives of purity and patriotisln, is not yet written. Judging fron1 the fate of republics which have preceded it, it may be doubted ,vhether it is founded upon a rocIt, and will prevail against tho COIning floods. As coming events cast their shadows before thelll, some rnen fancy they now see the diul sbadovvs, lengthening in the distance, which pre""iIldicate the dOOIU of this mighty fabric. 1 f AO, degenerate alld prodigal sons "rill squander the great inheritanee left then} by their forefathers.

"It is not, however, in the forulof government that Il18tSOnS imitat~ the bees? for we keep the

queens on the outside of the lodges, and have no kings in blue Inasonry. The forin of (}ur government is reI~ublican, and the craftslnen have always elected the Grand llasters, Masters and vVardens of the lodges. But we have no candidates in our elections, and no partie;an raceR, hcnc(\ we have 110 fuss and wars about the result. "The bee hiv"e is l)laced U!)Ol1 our carpets as a sylnbol of illdustry; and the non"vvorking D;.1aSOl1S are our drones,. and we appreciate them as little as the bees do the lazy members of their fan1ily, "\\"!lo are fond of eating, but reluctant to labor.

The bees labor for food only; all else is supplied to them. But the nlason must toil for bread, for rain'lent, for shelter, and for KNOWLEDGE. He comes into the world naked, and destitute of all ideas; and some go out of it, in advanced age, but little improved; while others, with no greater natural endowments, but ill the exercise of n10re industry, acquire vast stores of knowledge. " My brethren, you nre the representative 11:laSOnS of the StateHave the craftsmen of your lodges, during the last twelve months, l1nitated the industry of the bee hive, in the active pursuits of life, in the acquisition of useful knowledge, and in the doing of worl\;s of Dlasonic charity. How Inany hours have you labored, and how Inany lutve you wasted doing nothing? If ono hour, it is gone forever. rriIl1e flies like the weaver's shuttle, and life flows like the sandb of the hour-glass, and is soon gone." Bro. O. C..

In this connection the question has been l)resented as to the to confer the remaining degree or degrees upon a dismeIUbared Entered Apprentice or Fello'\v Craft, such dismemberment having occurred subsequently to his initiation or passing. In the CAge presented, I decided that as the applicant was physically perfeet at the time of his initiation, his faith and good intentions toward Masonry, together with the fact that he had received partial knowledge of our mysteries, vvould justify the Lodge in conf~rring the remaining degrees upon him, provided he was able to oonfottn liteTally to the requirements of the relnaining degrees. I am aware that this deoision may be considered by eminell,t MaSGIlS, learned ill Masonic law, as ineon,eistent vvith our General Regulati'lons on this subject, but I trust the question 11lay he dUly COI1SideT'ed ltlld definitely settled at the present session."

the following, ,vhich he uttered a few mOluents after, viz.: " Errors" easily corrected if discovered in thne, gro,v to be serious elements of discord after the lapse of a few months." From the report of the Grand Treasurer we find a balance in the Treasury of $4,263 50 to the credit of the Representative Fund, aRd $802 32 to the credit of the General Fund. On the first lnorning of the sossion, Bro. WUl.. H. Hill read his report 011 Foreign Correspondence, revie,ving 40 Grand IJodges, ours of 1867, included. His repol~t shows hiln to be 011e of the few who go down into the nlerits of Grand Lodge ,vork, and one who does not merely skiln over the surface of things, but who brings out the pure wine from amollg the" beggarly array of eI:npty bottles." His rel)Ort must llave been refreshing to our Oalifornia brethren, lUi it has been luost in teresting to us, save the high aud undeserved encomiunls he has p&id to the humble succebsor of our lalncnted O'Sullivan. He fully endorses the vie,vs of our Grand Master, as also of ourselves, in opposition to granting dispensatiolls to maiIlled candidates to receive the degrees, except ill cases of erne1"gency, ,vith Whicll we do not agree. In short, the more vve read of Bro.. Hill's report, tlle lnore we are satisfied that he has drank deeply of the fountain of pure, conservative nlasonic ideas, and is opposed to the thousand and one isms which endeavor to sap nnd u,ndermine our institution. He admired the labor bestowed by our Grand Master during his term, but is evidently in favor of short speeches, as he intimates, to fiave medical expenses. He closes with tlle fr~1.ternal remarks"And here the ,vriter gladly lays down hi~ peu. He llas IlO more apology to offer at the close than at the beginning. Whethelin all cases the brethren coincide in opinion :,vith binl or not, he feels qUite sure that he has ,vritten nothing that can justly give offence, or vvound the feelings of a single brother. His 011e aim has been union and brotllerly love, and to cast oil on the troubled WAters) that evermore, instead of the telnpest of raging passiQn and mis.. und8!standing, there may be peace and a caln1." And we hope for 11<> "storm after the oalrn." 011 the second day of the sessioIl, W. Bro. Jno.

oetween the adnlisbilJle and the non-adluissilJle, anti. I have felt it to be a safe course, and one sure to result in good to the fraternity 7 to refuse all petitions of that nature. From various parts of our

jurisdiction I have learned with great regret that the ambition of some of our brethren SeeUl'i to have outrun their disoretion. " in several illbtanceb thib has 1.>een cttrrie<1 so ftLr as to re8ult in the formation of t,vo or more parties in a Lodge, and under the eagerness and excite111ent which such a state of things invariably produces, open canvassing for office has been actually resorted to. Brethren, this is an evil of great Inagnitude, fraught with most disastrous consequences, and it ought not to be tolerated either in private Lodges or in Granu Lodge. To be elected to a prominent position in the craft is doubtless an honor to whicll all deserving and duly qualified brethren Inay aspire; yet it ought always to he remenlbered that Inerit and ability alone are the true grounds of preferment among Masons, and it is Inost unsoenl1y that a:nything like electioneering for office should ever be attempted. It is to be hoped that ill future every brother ,viII denounce and discoulltell'" ance such proceedings by every J:11eanS in his power. The nl0~t effective mode of securing the complete abolishment. of this evil practico will be for e"v'ery brother, whqn approaohed in this way, to cast his vote against, instead of for, the party who resorts to such improper methods for the purpose of obtaining office."

The Grand Master dwelt feelingly upon the settlen1el1t of the d.ifticulties in Nova Scotia, by the union of all the Masonic bodies in that province. At the close of the Aes~ioll an elegant bauquet was given to the members of the Grand Lodge, by the Lodges ill Montreal, and among the toasts given the Grand I.Jodges of America were not

CONNECTICUT, vVbere the Grand Lodge met at New Havell, on the 12th of ~Iay, 1869, presided over by M. 'V. Bro. Wm. Storer, Grand Master. Number of Lodges represented not enumerated.

lIe reports having visited thirteen Lodges and granted dispenfoiations for four new ones.

He rf\ports having deposed the Grand Treasurer for defrauding the Gralld Lodge out of its funds, and leaving it without any money. St. Johns Lodge, No.4, loaned the money for printing the proceedings, through R. \V. Bro.. Wheeler, Grand Secretary; and I>ro. George Lee, of Hartford, was appointed acting Grand Treas.. urer, &nd was subsequently elected to that post. In his decisions ,ve notice that he decided, where the Grand

I.lodge had ordered subordinates to revise their by-laws at once, and where the revision had taken place and been confirmed by the Grand Lodge, they were valid, although voted upon and adopted b~Y' the Lodge, '\vithout lying over one or nlore months, t'ts provided in the old code, which decibioll we think a very sensible one. We do not look upon a revision of by-laws in the same sense as an amend... 7"iUtnt, for the reason that when an arp.endment is offered by a member it is his property until it lies over and is taken up, and becomes the property of the Lodge, according to the section for "amendments." But when the Lodge itself orders a revision to be made of the by-laws, and appoints a committee to do the work, it is ipso facto the property of the Lodge, and when the committee reports we hold that the Lodge can act on that report without oompelling it to lie over under the section prescribing the manner of U amendment." At first glance, SOllle of our brethren take revision and amendnlent as synonymous terms, but when we take into consideration that one is originated by an individual, and the other by the Lodge itself, it will be readily seen that they are en.. tirely different, although both may reach the same result. The annual address sho\\rs the Grand Master to have been an active Masonic worker and thillker, and during a membership of twenty-six. years in the Grand Lodge he has never once been absent from its sessions.

The Grand Lodge adopted resolutions declaring the Grand Lodge of Louisiana the only regular Grand Lodge for jurisdiction, and cOlldemlling the action of the Grand Orient of France in recognizing the Supreme Council of Louisiana.. R. W. Bro. Jos. K. Wheeler submitted his report on Corres-

pondence, which is a clear and sensible paper, fraternal and courteous throughout. From the recapitulation ,ve find 943 initiations during the :y-ear, and 881 raisings, showing a deficiency of 62 in closing up the work; 102 were adlnitted and 220 dimitted; 148 passed from the troubleH of earth to the reward and peace of the good; 406 were deelned un,"vorthyof the mysteries. Totallnelnbership 12,784, ,vhich shows a very large average for each Lodge. M. W. Bro. AnlOS E. Cobb, of Nor,vich, was elected Grand JVlaster, and R. W. Bro. Jos. I{.

The address of the Grand Master shows that he has a deep interest ill elevating the status of Masonry in his State, not only at home but abroad, and in this he has been ably seconded by his efficient Grand Secretary, to whon1 he paid a fitting compliment.

Deleware hs,s ever been celebrated for 11er oonservative tenden-

cias, and it is properly exemplified by the Grand Master in refusing to grant any dispensations to confer degrees inside the time fixed by law, and hopes that bis successors ,viII follow his example in this respect. His advice to his subordinate Lodges relative to applications, &e., is sound to the core. Upon the question of burying a $o1iL ic ide, he very wisely leaves it to be governed by circumstancef-.

" lYfasolls should r0111eIll bel" that hy merely taking the 'degrees' they have but reached the thresholu of l\Iasonry, and further, that all the beauties of Masonry are afterwards to be disoovered only by those who will apply thelnsolves in studying that which will disclose and bring to light the hidden treasures. Those ,vho have no desire to obtain this knowledge, I believe are useless material to the craft. By surh I Ineall the aclulissiol1 of menlhers who have 110 desire to beconle active and bright '\vorkmell.

The Installation COllllnunication was held December 28, 1868, presided over by Bro. B. B. French, Grand Master. In Ilis address at that tirne he referA tl) the Inultitndc of eornn1unications an<l says: "I have long been of opinion that this Grand Lodge should have one more stated comnlunication during the year. Our annual meeting is held. on the first Tuesday of November, at which the officers are elected, and, by the terms of tho Constitution, it is made inlperative that the election shall take place after all the regular business of the Grand Lodge is transacted.

meeting, and the imposing and interesting ceremonies of installa.. tion are hurriedly and superficially performed, as a mere adjunct to a business ll1eeting. "The newly elected Grand 1\Jlaster takes his seat, the Grand Lodge is closed, and, unless he thinks proper to call it speciall~y together, he has no opportunity to again meet his brethren in Grand Communication nntil the succeeding May.

"Ho'v much better ,vould it be to transact as much busine6s as could be well done at the Annual Communication, and postpone the rest to a stated cOlnmunication to be l1eld in January, and let the installation communication be for the installation alone." Bro. M. C. Baxter submitted an enlergent report on correE,.. !:>ondence, in the absence of the chairman, reviewing briefly several Grand Lodges. The Grand Lodge adopted the following very ilnportant resolutions: ct .Resolved, That no Inember shall appear in any Masonic proeession without conforming to the rules in relation thereto, that is to say: be shall wear blaek coat and pants, black hat, white glove", ~~nd a white lamb-skin apron. (t .Resolved, rrhat this Grand Lodge recolumeud to each and every brother to purchase, without delay, a lamb-skin apron and white gloves, to be worn by them on all public Masonic processions." Whiclliooks very much like preserving harlnony in Masonic dress, as well as in Masonic work.

GEORGIA, Where the Grand I..iodge met at Macon on the 27th of October, 1868, presided over by M. W. Bro. Jno. Harris, Grand Master. Number of Lodges represented not enu1l1erated.

The annual address is brief, and chiefly local. Here we find there is no Deputy Grand Master, singly, as in other States, but four Deputy Gtand Masters for four Districts, elected by the Grand Lodge, and they all seem to exercise the jurisdictional powers of the Grand Master in their respective Districts, even to the issuing of Dispensations. They all COlllphtin of L' \vant of unifornlity in work," and we are not sUrl)rised ,vhen we take into consideration that no one head supremely governs the \vhole. The reports of the Tru~teos and l)rcsident of the Masonic 001lege all tend to show that it is in a l)recarious condition, and that it will require not less than. $15,000 or $16,000 to develop the purposes of the institution. We believe that that n1uch money would educate all the Masonic orphans in Georgia, in regUlarly established schools, and do it fu,r Inare thoroughly. We cannot help but come to the conclusion that of all the schemes advanced for the care of l')oor and helpless Masonic orphans this systelll of Masonic Colleges is the n10st expensive, and evinces the least business sagacity. The Committee on Jurisprudence subnlitted the following, which was adopted, and in which we fully agree: "The Worshipful l\faster of Morven Lodge, No. 254, Bro. John G. Polhill, reports: That on two applications' for permission to dissolve all connection \vith the institution of Masonry,' he had ruled' that a Lodge had no power to grant such a request,' and 'that a Mason can only leave a Lodge by demit, death or expulsion,' but not being able to find any lavv on the subject, desires the opinion of the committee.

"We endorse the ruling of the Worshipful Brother, that it is out of the power of a Lodge to dissolve a Mason from all connection with tl1e institution of Masonry. A brother may voluntarily withdraw fronl all active co-operation ,vith Masonry, but the obligations voluntarily assumed, and which rest on hiln, cannot be dissolved save by death or expulsion, from all the rights and privileges of Masollry by the Grand Lodge. Even this last does not release him from every part of his obligation, and cannot-as one part is between his own conscience and his God. The only regular lnode of withdrawing from a Lodge is by demit."

"We assemLle here again, 011 this the t\venty-fifth anniversary of our Grand Lodge existence, rejoicing that the sanle beneficent power that has lJuilt Ul) the State of Io,va, and elldo\vcd it so wonderfully with the element~ of greatness, has not forgotten lIB, but has luade the 'handful of corn' cast into the fruitful soil of onr State, a quarter of 11, century ago, 110\V ',vave like Lebanoll.' Ours, Iny brethren, has been a wonderful, an ullexanlpled gro,vth. I;ess than forty years ago-within the meul0ry of lnany of 'Us-the 8tatE~ of Iowa ,vas an alUlost unkno,vn land. rrrue, wonderful tales had crossed our ~river of 'bright field~ beyond the s\velling flood,' a'waiting the husbandman, and inviting hiru to enter and tak(.\ possession; but only here and thero hud a few restless spiritA enter-ed. NO'N, ho\v changed! Every\vhoro, allover our beautiful Stat~, ~tre the busy homos of thriving mon ~ vilhtgCA and eyen (路ities havo sprung up as if Ly ll1agic, and the wOIHlerful ' rrale~ of the AraLhul Nights' have seenlod to beeolue le~s incredible than the prosak details of our daily life. Not less \voIl<lerful has been tho ad vance of our institution. T\Vellty-fl ve years ago, ~four weak Lodges, ,vith 11 total nlenlbership of only 0110 hundred and one, 111et and plantod the shoot which has grown and flourished beyond thoir most sauguine expectations, and boneath whose wide-spread branches we today find pleasant and oongenial h0111e8. rro.. day the Grand I.Jodgo of Iowa bas gro\vn into an association of two hundred an<1 thirty.. t,vo chartered Lodges, with an aggregate Dlembership of over ten thousand-men "vhonl tIle ancient constitutions require shall be 'good and tru~ men, free-born and of mature and discreet ago, no bondmen, no womell, 110 immoral or sc:.andalous nlen, but of good f

Since the close of the last sessBion, the Grand Master has issued 23 dispensations for new Lodges-and in his review of Chartered Lodges, (by him ca.l1ed "particular" Lodges) he has evinced a deep degree of interest, and shown that nothing escapes his watohful e:ye.

that State, residing within the jurisdiction of Scotland county, Missouri.' The matter seems to have assumed some importance, requiring the attention of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, which, by a resolution, instructed Bro. Gouley to write the communication referred to. I promptly replied to Bro. Gouley's courteous letter, disavowing, on behalf of the Grand Lodge and its officers, any knowledge or approval of such discourtesy or invasion of the jurisdiction of Missouri Lodges; that it ,vas not only unauthorized, but would not bejustified or countenanced by the Grand Lodge of Iowa; and requesting him to furnis-h me the names of the offending Lodges in order that steps might be taken to prevent a repetition of the offence. I also wrote to Masters of the Lodges in those counties contiguous to the Missouri State line, informing them of the complaints made by the Grand Lodge of Missouri, and requesting them to inform me of all facts connected therewith, coming within their knowledge. To these letters I have received 110 response, neither did Bro. Gouley inform nle of the names of the I.Jodges thus offending." In our correspondence (as Grand Secretar~y") vve were unable to furnish the names of the offending Lodges, but referred the communiaatiQn, or the substance of it, to R. W. Bro. R. E. Anderson, who offered the resolution alluued to, and suppose that, through tIle properparties, he furnished the information sought; at any rate, we llave heard of no further infringement upon our territory, and feel assured that, if there ,vas, it has been through no fault of Bro. Mickle, whose fraternal feeling sho,vs that he is not the officer to allow of such irregularities. The Grand Master, in alluding to a clandestine I.Jodge starteu in his jurisdiction, says: a This is the first case of the kind we hava ever had in this ju~isdiction, and

I hope it may be the last. Howev~r, for the protootloll of the craft from imposition, I would respectfully recomlXtend that the Grand Lodge adopt a general regulation requi~ing eV0ry: partiCUlar Lodge to Iteep A VISITORS' BOOK, in which eyery vi;sitor shall be required, before an examination is had, to register hls name and residence, and name, number and location of his Lodge. Such a regUlation, S1(riotly enforced, might prevent many Lodges from being imposed upon. by the unworthy, as well as enarble the Lodges to follow up alld detect inlpostors." And the same regulation we would recQlnmend to our own &nd that the Grarnd Lodge enforce it, as these visitors' books are already printed, and 0&'11 be procured from anyone regu1(aJ:ly in the Masonic trade.

He concludes his admirable address with the following: " To me the principles of Freemasonry are a practical science, to be carried out in our every day lives and actions, and in our daily intercourse with each other and with the world, and herein, in my humble opinion, is to be found our best and surest defence against the incessant assaults of the malignant, fanatic, and selfish, narrow-minded bigot." 1-Ie submits answers to nineteen questions, which are very nl.uch in accordance with our o""vn jurisdiction, and regret that space wIll not permit a reprint of all of them.

The report of the Grand Secretary is, like all his productions, systematic and complete, and he deserves great credit for the thorough manner in which he does his work. Bro. W. E. Miller submitted an able and sensible report on Oorrespondence. Under the head of Missouri he refers to our argument on the status of an expelled Mason, wherein we said tha.t such person is not restored by the reversion of the expUlsion by the Grand Lodge, and ordering a netu trial,. but that he still remained expelled, or suspended, until the verdict of the new trial "vas announced, which was cOl1trary to the decision of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, and Bro. l\{iller says"The writer of this report thinks this e.x.oeption by our ::Mis$ouri brethren well taken. The action of the Grand Lodges leaves the status of the expelled brother as it was after the charges were preferred, and before the trial thereon, and he is certainly not in

Bro. H.

What ""ve did say ,ve 110"V reiterate, that nine-tenths of those 'VI10 apply for disl)ensations to get the degrees just before they are going to travel, do &0 fronlnlercenary Inotives; and further, we say that this power of granting dispensations to set aside a lJositive lCt~() of the Gra/nd Lodge 01' a 8ubo1~dinat6 Lodge, is not legitimately a "l)rerogative of the Grand l\rfaster," unless so specified ill the law itself, and if so specified, it ceases to he a lavv, antI the Grand Master becomes a lavv unto hinlself.

Three hundred and fifty out of 380 chartered Lodges, and 26 out of 31 Lodges U. D. were represented, making a total of 376. It . will sound strange to ~Iissourians to hear of Lodges U. D. having a regular representation, when it is not yet known how rnax;y, if any, of them ""vill ever be regularly con'3titutecl I.Jodges under charter. But so it is. The anilual addres~ i& a lengthy docurnent, and treats very fully of the affairs of the Grand Lodge, as well as a brief review of other jurisdictions, it being a part of his duty to render a report on foreign (;~xrespondence. He is sound on landmarks, which it has been the strenuous effort of SOlne to break dovvn. He.says: HOI1 May 1st, I was illfornled that Hiram Lodge, No. 42, had initiated a candidate vvith but one leg. I immediately appointed R.. W. Bro. John M. Branlwell to visit the Lodge, and take such actioll as required by rule 83. '1'11e l'eport of Bro. Bramwell shows that, on the 10th instant, he arrested the charter, and appointed Bro. Christian Fetta to take charge of the effects of said Lodge. This ease seenlS to be a willful violatioIl of the Ancient Landmarks, and is but a repetition of what occurred last year. I would suggest whether it is not about time to establish a prec:edent that shall prevent such tb ings in future. H

He recommends the District Lecture systeln, such as adopted by our Grand Lodge, and which has been found to work so well. He also reoommends that any Lodge which receives lectures from unauthorized parties shall forfeit its charter, and if the would-be lecturer belongs to the State, that he be suspended by his Lodge. He closes his attractive address by the following beautiful reItlarks:

It has a peculiar mission of its own, and by the distinct pres&utation of that mission, so that all may see it, the less will be the suspicion in tbe world against the institution, and the more plainly will its peCUliar nlerits be manifested and unfolded in fruits ()f beauty, rrchlless and delight. Masonry ib not a religious or a political body. I t is not exclu$i vel1 or prinu\trily a teacher of morality, or politics, in the sense of practically applying the nloral principles of allY religion, or the practical principles of any civil goV"ernment, but in conlmon with ~U religions, and all State au.. thority, it starts with the fact of the Brotherhood of the human race; and believing that to think over problems that relate to action between man a.nd man, without proceeding to act, is to 11000me speedilj'>' paralyzed; it Stets, and its Itction is a society. rrhe

rrhe fOrlllative principle of Masonry iilld~ its illustration in thnt principle of science by which the most minute, and a,pparen tly isolated facts resolve themselves into systems; these systems again are bound together in still wider systems; complex la,vs, as we ascend higher in the scale of being, unfold their complex operations, and assume Si111pler fornlS. And so we go from infinite diversity to a higher and higher unity, until ,ve find all reduced to a unity of one universe, beneath the throne of one God.

"Froln this funaurnelltal principle of science springs the developnlcnt of mind, in the activity of thought, and the various applications of the conclusions gained. " In the Brotherhood of 11lan, and the }1"atherhood of God, is the unity of one hunlan family; and this principle is the formative principle of Masonry. The realization of this subl!me fact develops

obligations, nloraI, religious and political. But Masonry aims not at the presentment or cnforcelnent of obligations abstractly considered, only at the inculcation of the falnUy relationship, from ,vhich spring morality, religion, civil obedience and progress. ~ Other organizations and instrulnentalities, Divine and human, have their legitimate place in the world's history, to which Masonry clainls only to be the handmaid, aud from which Masonry welcomes light and truth, and all elenlents that tend to the realization and perfection of the Brotherheod that it is her peculiar mission to insist upon and illustrate; 'For so the whole round eal"ih' is路every wa~t Bound by golden chains, about the feet of God ,.,

'fIle reports of the Comrnittees on Grievance, Chartered Lodges and Lodges U. D., are very full and cOlnplete. The Committee 011 Jurisprudence submitted the following:

"Resolved, That the paylnent of all dues for which a brother may stand expelled, or a 111ajority vote of all the Jnembers present of the Lodge inflicting the pflnalty of suspension or expulson, for a.ny other cause, shall restore the brother to all the rights and privile~es of a non-affiliated Mason, but it shall require a unanimous ballot to restore to 111embership in the Lodge any brother so SllSl~ended or expelleq for any cause whate''rer.'' \Ve C~tll understand all of the foregoing except the expulsion for non-payment of dues, ,vhicb, to us, is a llew &nd extraordinalJr severe punishment for such an offence.

" He Dtives as a reason that the Brother who cast the 1.>lack ball stat:d in open Lodge, that he did it through mistake, and \VUS Borry 7 &c. We very much regret that the Grand Master allo\ved his sylllpathies to be thus overconle t and set a prcedent \vhich ,viII haunt his Grand Lodge for years to ~ollle. Ill~tead of granting the dispensation, he should have !)ut tho declaring Brother undel~ Chal'gE)A for having dared to tell how he voteu, ,vhich i~ a clear violation of the secrecy of the ballot. It relninds us of a story of N apoleoll I., 'when a sold.ier once attclnpted to assassinate him by a pistol shot, but the pistol missed fire, and \vhen he was brought before thp Emperor and confessed his crime, he ordered him to be shot, not fOl' ~ttempting assassination, but for keeping his fir0arnls in snch bad

order. The Grand Master reports harluony in his small fUlnil.Y, but re路 grets that his correspondence aud decisions had bOOll destroyed h~y fire 011 the 19th of the same month . The following very sensible amelldlnent was offereu, t\ud lie~ over: " Provided that any alnendlnent nlay be made at any annunl conlluunicatioll by unanhnous consent..

We think, after they llave h&llied their Grnnd Lodge about the rrerritory for a fe,v yearH, and lost half of their archives, they will settle do\vn and" keep house." This is now the universal experience of old Grand IJodges. 'rhe tinle of meeting has been changed to October. In adopting a code of la,vs for trials it is provided that the vote shall be by a "show of hands." 'Ve rather like the nerve of wemk brethren w)lioh that sort of vote presumes on, but very much doubt the wisdom of trying it. _I\. secret vote is the luost certain of justice to all parties.

Taking a trip down tht? Missouri river ,ve find the Grand Lodge of

KANSAS, In session, October 20, 1868, at the city of La,vrence, and presided over by M. W. Bro. M. S. Adams, Grand Master. Number of Lodges represented not enumerated. The Grand Master reports having granted nine Dispensations for new Lodges. He also granted nine Dispensations to confer Fellow Craft and Master Mason degrees 011 candidates out of the regular time, "who w~re about to move from the State," and on some who were" not quite a resident of the State." Well, ,,"e have had our say about this sort of "special dispensation" business and do not propose to say any more, except that those ""vho were about to move away should have applied sooner, or else remained longer, if Masonry was worth anything to them or they to Masonry, either of whioh we very much doubt; and as for those who were not residents a year, we would like to know ,vhether they had permission froIn the State they last canle frOID, and whether they wanted to get through qUickly before their true characters could be found out. Experience in observing scallawag candidates roaming over the oountry justifies us in these queries.

The address, on the whole, is replete with sound advice to the brethren,and the decisions are well and clearly rendered. With one, however! we do not agree, ,vhich is in accordance with one rendered by our late Grand Master, viz: that IJodges under dispensation have no authority to try a Brother. For one we can see no rE!ason why a Lodge under dispensation, which has the power to make l\lasons, and therefore decide upon the qualification of its own membership, may not also be proper jUdges of Masons within its own jurisdiction, although we know our own law is 80 indefinite upon that point that it justifies the above decision, and we think it should be changed.

We notice that the Gl"'and Lodge granted a chatter to Mt. Moriah Lo.dge at Salt Lake City, notwiths~dingthe objections raised by the Grand Lodge of N evad&, whi,()h body originally had jurisdiction over said Lodge, and were, to all intents and purposes, the best judges of the members and materiaJ. To say the least, we think the Grand Lodge of Kansas would have "done the better part 11 to have let Nevada settle up its own. business; and if Mt.. Moriah Lodge shall hereafter give the M:aabnie world trouble, or cast dis~ra(}e upon its name, then our brethren" over the border" will regret sincerely their hasty action.

The Grand Lodge had seyeral votes as to where they would next carry the Grand Lodge, and it was finally settled to meet next year at Leavenworth. "And another I,;ocust went in and took a grain of corn." . R. W. Bro. E. F. Carr submitted an excellent report on Correspondence, in which J.\iIissouri receives very complimentary notice. From his tabular statement, ,ve find 435 were initiated and 361 raised, being a deficiency of 74 ; 201 adlnitted against 157 dimitted, which looks well for the immigration of the State; 78 were 8USpended, 157 rejected, and 20 died out of a total membership of 2,645.. M. W. Bro. J. H. Brown was elected Grand Master, and R. W. Bro.

E. F. Carr re-elected Grand Secretar:r, both of Leavenworth.

Still following down the great valley, ,ve come to the proceedings of

!{ENTUCKY, Where the Grand Lodge convened on the 19th of October, 1868, ill the city of Louisville, presided. over by M. W. Bro. Elisha S. Fitch, Grand Master. NUlnber of Lodges represented not added up.. The Annual Add.ress i& a long one, replete with beautiful thoughts, and we regret that time will not permit us to copy any extended extracts, there being but one copy before us. He reports having granted 14 dispensations for new Lodges. He very properly enjoins greater caution and scrutiny in recommending new Lodges by the nearest Lodge. Having had almost innumerable applications for dispensations to confer degrees out of time, and as he calls it, by "a sort of lightning express over tbe Masonic track" he reports having "persistently refused all such applications." Good for Bro. Fitch! He is right in saying that the precarious "sojourn of such candidates renders their membership in the fraternity of but little consequence." :Right here, ill reply to the Illinois Comnlittec, already referred- to, we will say that the arguments of Bro. Fitch are incontrovertible and fraternally refer Grand' Master Reynolds to a careful perusal of the same. He very truly renlarks, "regarding the Grand Master simply as th@ creature of the Grand Lodge, del~iving all his authority from that body, and subject to its laws, we do not believe that we are invested with any prerogative which might annul her edicts or contravene her avowed policy. The truth is, we have but little pa,;nience or sympathy with that ela8tic, mtangibZe, nOTrbdescript $romethrflng t ycleped p7"erogaiive, and instinctively suspect the sound-

He pays a deserved tribute to the cOlnmendable zeal of the craft itl getting better Lodge rooms, and also cOlnplilnonts the Grand

This looks very Inuch like LL business," and is in marked contrast to so many Granu Lodges vvho only live by unending taxes on the craft, and never have sagacity enough to look :five years ahead.

The annual address treats chiefly of "official doings." He reports having issued eleven DIspensations for ne,v I..Jodges; also, several "reluctantly granted" to candidates to receive the degree~ out of the regular time, and only set aside "the operation of any regulation of the Grand I.Jodgc" ,vhell convinced that it vvould accomplish "great good."

It is some gratification to know that the Grand Lodge took the trouble to inquire somewhat into the multitudinous list of representatives that are now being spread broadcast over the country by sundry foreign "Grand Orients;" some of which it found to be mere bogus affairs, and others it knew less about. We will guarantee the assertion, that when they inquire further, they will find that not one out of ten of them have any assimilation or sympathy with our Grand Lodges, and are only trying 011 a "little confidence game" of recognition. If they fool Missouri much, it will be after the present generation has passed away; ,ve have not yet forgotten the lesson of our late Bro. O'Sullivan, viz: that nothing i~ Masonry which is not l)Urely 'I Ancient Craft Masonry," and with thnything else (fraud Lodges have nothing to do. An iInmense amount of routine ,vork the aid of energetic committees.

~raA

accolnplished through

Bro. James B, Scot, chairman, submitted a very 11,ble report on Oorrespondence, in which Missouri is fraternally noticed. ~The committee, with ourselves, does not agree with our late Grand lVIaster, that "a Lodge should not hold a trial on a brother being tried before-. a civil court," except, as Bro. Scot says, it be a criminal prosecution, where the trial is speedily ended. For one, we are in favor of attending to our own business, no ll1atter whether the courts ever attend to theirs or not.

In the "Supplemental Report" on Correspondence we find a review of various Rites, etc., which had nothing to do 'Yitll the interests of the Grand Lodge or with symbolic Masonry, and was not rea,d before the Grand Body, but inserted on individual account, and, therefore, we presume we ha,te nothing to do with it as a part of the proceedings before us. We are willing to do now, as the Grand Lodge of Missouri has done in the past, viz: help the Grand Lodge of Louisiana in maintaining her integrity against foreign Masonry, and are, therefore, more than surprised that any countenance or notice should have been taken, or any recognition given to that from which has sprung all her woes. It is the old tale of the "Miller fly," enchanted by the candle light. We la-ad put down in full on this . question, but afterwards tore the manuscript up, for fear we might be deemed unfraternal. We hope that Grand Lodge, however, will learn wisdom from the experience of a bitter past, and stick strictly to its own Masonry and not dAbble in that of others nor allow ' others to interfere with it. From the tables we find 602 initiated and 490 raised; a discrep~ Riney of 112-rather large. 250 were affiliated and 394 dimitted, 285

M. W. Bro. Samuel M. Todd was elected Grand ~Iaster, and R. W. Bro. James C. Batchelor, M. D. (L. box 872.), re-elooted Grand Secretary; both of New Orleans. Turning north,vard again, we conle to the Grand Lodge of

l\IISSI8SIPPI, Which met at Jackson, on the 18th of January last, M. W. Bro. Thos. S. Gaithright, Grand Master, presiding over 182 Lodges represented, out of 255 011 the roll. The annual address is an interesting paper, and beautifully expressed. One great error into ,vhich Bro. l\Iackey's jurisprudence has led Lodges is, in stating that when a petition is reported ul1favorably upon it is not to be balloted 011, and the address completely settles that heresy by the following: H I have decided that when 8l non-affiliated Mason applies for Iuembership in any Lodge, or where a profane applies for initiation, and the conlmittee of investigation reports unfavorably, the Master is in error to rule that the party is rejected. If this be the proper view, many Lodges are doing wrong. I hold that the ballot must be spread in all cases. If an unfavorable report rejects, a favor.. able one elects. I decide that applications can be decided only by seoret ballot. Our by-laws say that if a petition be roferred and the committee report unfavorably, it cannot be ;withdrawn. How can you withdraw what is rejeeted? or what is the propriety of contemplating the withdrawal of a petition already rejected '? The regulation contemplates a ballot." It appears a case came before the Grand Master involving the status of an elected and installed officer of a Lodge, and he de!cided that the Worshipful :l\Iaster could depose him and put another in his place, and that by parity of reasoning the Grand Master could depose an elected officer of the Grand Lodge. As to the powers of the Worshipful Master, we can not agree with our M. W. brother that that officcr possesses such power, unless he prefexs charges against him, either in the Lodge or to the Grand Master. If in the Lodge, the charges must be acted upon and the verdict of the brethren ascertained; and if before the Grand Master, he must also see that the brother is charged and tried. If the officer is "entirely incompetent," that inoon'1p~tt)noy must be decided upon.

[Oct.

152

As to the powers of the Grand Master over his subordinates, the question i'3 not so clear, but of one thing there can be no doubt, viz: that it is the s,vorn duty of subordinate officers to obey their Gr~nd :l\Iaster, and if they disobey, or fail to do their duty, he undoubtedly can prefer his charge against them and depose thenl from office, and cite them to appear as menlbers of the Grand Lodge before it at the next sessio11, to stand trial; and in this the Grand JYlaster assunles a great responsibility, and should be ,veIl satisfiod of the truth of his charge before acting.

After the report of the Comnlittee on Credentials \ve find the following singular nlotion, 'w'hich was P\lt to vote and carried:

"Resolved, That the ~f. W. Grand Master be requested to deliver his address this evening, and that tho Most Worshipful th0 Grand Lodge when called off be called to meet at 7 o'clock. "On motion, the 1\1. VV. Grand Lodge was called from labor to refreshment.' ,

"The Most Worshipful the Grand I..Jodge was called fronl refreshment to labor, Deputy Grand Master Bro. R. A. Jones presiding. The M. 'V. C. W. Nash then delivered the follovving address." This is about as cool a proceeding us we think \ve have ever seen in a Grand Lodge. It might do very ,veIl for a National l\fasonic Convention, but to turn the Grand Master of Masons virtually out of his office, and adjourn the Grand Lod~e over his head by a "lnotion," is something entirely new to us. We do not know that the Grand Master is entirely excusabl(~ in this proceeding, for it will be noticed that he vacated his place to the Deputy Grand Master in the evening, and delivered his annual message as though he were a n1ere Grand Orator delivering an address by invitation of the Grand Lodge. Minnesota is a young Grand Lodge, to be sure, yet ,ve think a casual perusal of the published proceedings of older sisters would suggest the ancient and regular way of doing things. We should as soon think of seeing a Lodge adjourn on motion as the above, and to see the Senior Warden called to the East while the vVorshipful 1\faster delivered his instructions to the rnembers. We hope for better thingR as she grows older. The annual address shows the Grand Master to be a ripe schoh\r, and one whose soul and heart are interested in the great work before him. He reports having granted dispensations for seven ne,v Lodges. The address is chiefly confined to local interests.

The proceedings were confined to State interests, and \ve notice nothing demanding further attention. The report on Correspondence ,vas submitted by Bro. A. '1\ c. Pierson.

From the tables we learn that 251 were initiated, and no record of raisings; 80 were suspended, 4 expelled, and 9 reinstated, 69 dimitted, and no record of admi~sions. 26 died out of a total mem.. bership of 4,791. Crossing the bay, we come to the Grand Lodge of

" The steady and uniform increase in our membership, the zeal and generous rivalry displayed by the officers and brethren of the sullordinate Lodess, in striving to pron'lote the best interests of our

institution, the increased proficiency of the officers df Lodges in rendering the work of Masonry, the decided improvenlent made in the preparation and adornment of Lodge rooms, and above all, the f~tct that so fe,v of our number have been removed from earth and earthly scenes during the past year-the~e all are causes for mutual congratulation and thanksgiving, as ",~e nleet once more in our nnnual assembly." He granted five dispensations for now IJodges. In noticing decisions we find, he says, the Lodge nlust vote to receive the charges before they can be entertained by the Worshipful J.\.Iaster. In this we do not agree, for the reason that a Lodge, b:y a Inere majority, may refuse to entertain the charges through caprice or prejudice, when, if the party were tried, he might be convicted by a two-third vote, or the accused might, by a Ina-re majority, be also deprived of the power to prove his innocence, and the rUlllors ~till prevail against him. vVe hold it to be tIle indefeasible rigllt of every brother to have a trial if ho demands it, and the charges are properly preferred and specified. He very properly decides that the Lodges of that jurisdiction have not the right to appeal for !)ecuniaryaid in other jurisdictIons, without the consent of the Grand Lodge. Ry the Grand Treasurer's report, we find $2,006 in the Treasury.

Amendments ,vere proposed to the By-Laws, ,vhich require tIle unanimous vote of a Lodge to give permission to another Lodge to receive and act upon the petition of a rejected candidate; also guarding against the increase of non-affiliates, by the adoption of the eX8iict provision of our own by-laws, both of which they will find "good," if adopted.

From the tabl~s we learn that 216 dinlitted, and none reported as admitted; 120 suspended, 6 expelled and 8 died, out of a total IXlembership of 7,729. Number initiated and raised not given. Bro. Joseph H. Hough submitted, as usual, one of the best reports on Correspondence it has been our pleasure to read. Ullc1er the head of Missouri he pays quite a compliment to the address of our Grand Master in 1867, and quoting so much of the "Edict" a.s relates to the opening of Lodges; says, "This is in exact accordance with the work in New Jersey," Stud says that the resolutioll which our Grand Lodge finally adopted on the question "look~ queer-it may be right, but if so our Masonic education has beell sadly neglected." As this question has now been settled, and the n resolution" spoken Of by Bro.

tion or fitting up a hall, the procuring the insignia and je,vels, the of the Grand Lodge fee, and the thousand other items, often grossly extravagant, but thought to be necessary, to enable them to compete sucoessfully "vith the established Lodges in their vicinity. The new Lodge is desirous of a large roll, of an elegant hall, of a full treasury, and is too forgetful that these good things, in themselves, may be obtained at the loss of the permanent welfare and prosperity of the Craft. By the gratification of these desires they are prevented from exercising that just discrimination and careful scrutiny as to petitioners for the degrees, absolutely essential to the securing suitable luaterial for the Masonic temple, proposed to be constructed by the new Lodge. The certain result is sure to follo,\v, and the temple under construction is erected of rough stones, and put together with untempered mortar r the true ,vork of Masonry lost sight of or negleted, and that temple Which, had it beert erected of good materials and in the proper manner, would have stood as an enduring I:t10nUlnent of the faithful labors of its founders, is soon leveled ,vith the dust of the earth, and the (place whi<:-h onoe knew it shall knew it no InOl~e forever.' There have already nlany such Lodges been organized, worked in this manner, And they are struggling for life, or have died; enough to show plainly how dangerous is the path ,va have trodden; enough sta:ndilllg as grave-stones of J\fasonry-monuments marking the sloughs into 'which the Craft have fallen froln the errors of the past. pa~rment

" In addition to these considerations, there is no necessity for so Inany new Lodges. One of the chief arguments urged to me, in many cases, for dispensations was, that those who applied had now to go over five or ten miles to reach their Lodge. If new Lodges are instituted in the rest of this jurisdiction, as thickly as proposed by mallY of the petitions I have reeeived, we should have in the State over two thousand Lodges. No sueh number, ner anything like it, can, with the slightest regard to the true interests of the Institution, be established.

It is the day of danger, for it is !lot in l1umbers that our true strength lies, but in tIle prinoiples of the Fraternity): thoroughly learned, and faithfully praetised by the brethren.

The nanlC of the location is spoken ()nce in conversing about or calling a Lodge, and that, in most c&ses, is quite sufficient to perpetuate that nan1c, \vhen desirable. It is therefore '\v!lolly unnecessary for that purpose; and if it were not invidious, a glance at the roll would show 路names of localities, that if omitted once, where twice entered, would do 110 possible irljury. One exception only Was made, that of 'DE RUYTEE,' named after the famous Dutch Admiral, 'the only European Admiral of reno,vn equal to that of the greatest generaL' "The name of a Lodge should certainly be Masonic; it is the

bAptism of the Lodge, and should express a 1\tlasollie idea, principle, or problem, or refer to something taught in, or some emblem of, the Fraternity, or perpetuate sonle Masonic fact, recollection, th~ory, incident, or tradition. It can not be possible that the literature of our Institution is so b:arren as to require that, in order to h$tll'le our Lodges, we should resort to maps or gazetteers. So f~tr from this is the fact, that our history and biography, our legends and poetry, are filled with beautiful and applicable names, and some of them peculiarly appropriate. Thus the Arabic or Hebrew names of the stars carry us back to the birth of ~Iasonry, and to races ~mong whom it was fonn<ied. Or, if it is preferred, take the names in Arabic or Hebrew of the mountains or the plains, the pilgrims or patriarchs, or cities of Arabia or Israel; or, if a mor~ modern or a classical name is preferred, it is easily found within tl1e limits pf Masonry." He draws proper attention to the important question of Gratld Lodge jurisdiction, and cites the cases where Lodges in his own StaYte have invaded other States, and gives them a genuine lectur() on the matter.

have returned the unifornl answer, that the Grand J.\Iaster, not even the Grand Lodge, can dispense with its requirement. It is a landmark, and cannot be removed. If the right exists to take it down stone by stone, it may be taken down bodily, and it thus ceases to be a landlnark. To cODlplaints of the removal, or attempted removal, of the landmark by Lodges, I have given prompt attention, and have stopped the attempt at the point where the knowledge of it reached Ine, and have interdicted the further communication of light in Masonry to initiated candidates thus situated, or any light to those not initiated. tL No ancient landnlark, nor indeed, any other rule of la\v can be maintained in strict force, \vithout there occasionally arising a Gase of apparent hardship. 'Ve should, then, consider whether it is not better to Illaintain the harmony and universality of Masonry by keeping up our landmarks, or sacrifice them merely to enable tbe stranger and profane, the maimed, halt, blind, deformed, or \vith sonlething super,fluous, to become initiates in our Fraternity. The commandment of the law is: 'Thou shalt not remove the landmark;' and again: 'Renlove not the ancient landmark thy fathers have set.'

.t( Applications have been made to 111e to remove the landmark in favor of 'an eminently worthy citizen,' - of 'an excellent and highly intelligent man, whom every member of the Lodge desired to admit,'-of 'an honored and respected man,'-and of one 'who, while in the United States army, and in the service of hi$ country, lost one of his limbs; '-and of many others, the particulars of which it is not necessary to state. I have uniformly refused to relax the rule, and have inflexibly upheld the ancient landmark in all its purity and simplicity.

H My brethren, we cannot reward merit and honor in civil life, or bravery and valor on the battle-field, by making such civilian or wa.rrIora Mason in violation of our principles. We confer no honor thereby, only stultify ourselves. We may, as citizens, confer the honors in our gift on him who has, faithfully served the State or the nation in its councils or offices, or crown the brave defender of his country with loving gifts in lifa, and erect an imperishable monulnent to his memery at his death. But there are some things be.. yond our power to confer; and if the candidate has become maimed, whether in the civil or milit8Jl'Y service of his country, or hew otherwise, Masonry is one of the gifts that cannot then be conferred on him; and this not on aCCot1nt of his unworthiness, but of our inability. We can 110 more confer these degrees on him lawfully than we can restore naturally the limb which he has lost. And the most that we could even attempt toward thai! restoration, would be to make for hinl a substitute for the thing lost-a limb of wo~(i

1869.J

or other substance, whicll would be no more like a natural limb, on.e of flesll and blood, and containing the principle of life, than he, if made a Mason, ,vould be like a perfect ashlar in the l\Iasonic tenlple.路 . "Numerous applications ha,\re been made to me for the granting of a dispensation to confer' all the degrees at once, or the second an.d third ill less than the constitutional time. There, no doubt, may be a case where it would be proper to confer all the degrees at once, but it would be a very extraordinary case indeed that would justify the granting of such a dispensation, and it has been uniformly refused by nle. H The second and third degrees should not in any case be conferred in less than the constitutional tilue, unless in case of some great and sudden necessity, or under rare circumstances. The candidate, in whose favor such applications are usually nlade, has generally resided within easy distance of the Lod~e, and if desiring Masonry from good motives could have applied for acceptance, and, if deemed ,vorthy, gail1ed adnlission, and regularly received and learned Masonry by precept and example, often illustrated and practised. But all at once he is called to go South, or West, or elsevvhere, and has heard that he ought to tal{e Masonry with him, but don't wish to remain here long enough to receive it regularly, or so as to profit by its lesso11s. He therefore makes application to the Lodge, and they, appreciating the necessity of hfl,ste, forward an application for a dispensation, and hurry hinl through, and confer the degrees of Free and Accepted Masonry as part of the preparation for his journey. Masonry, thus conferred, is of no real value to its receiver, and. no honor to the Lodge conferring the degrees. The person thus supposed to be nlade a Mason is a mere piece of untempered Inortar or rough stone from the quarry, 'which must be worked and 1110ulded, and mayhap gaveled, before it can be useful. Let a candirlate for tIle degrees take time to receive and know Masonry, as it ought to be conferred in our Lodges, ~nd he will find it truly valuable; but rush him. through, as has often been proposed to me, and it will be worthle-ss to him, and no credit to the Lodge doing such hasty "\vorlt."

Upon the question of the secrecy of the ballot, for which our

own Gralld

Lodge has fought

hard, and wh.ose principles are

ats.mped as in letters of iron upon her statute books, are fully oontlrmed by the Grand Master of New ):'!"'ork ill the following: H The secrecy of the ballot, on all application for initiation, is a l"admarlt, and the Constitution also ordaillS that it ' shall be inviol''bl1 secret..' This principle should be preserved, because it is a ~a1Xl垄lmark; and it should be respected and obeyed, because the reg-

[Oct

111a~lOn is neeer,sary to preserve the unity and \velfare of our Instr-

tution. There is 110 officer ill the Fraternity so high that he call disrog itrd tl1is eOllunandment, anclll0 melnbor, junior or E,enior, but if, entitled to qhelter hin1~elf fronl any qltestion on the 8ubjeet under the broad prillriple of its in violable secrecy. How can the ballot be secret if there is anyone in the IJoc1ge entitled to kno\1' its character "? If the reasons or nl0tive~ of a brother in casting a black lHtll ran he inquired iuto, then it foIlo\v'3 that the like inquisition can be hall as to the Inotives of tho~c casting "''''bite balls. And if luotiyos can he inquired for, and a llad one is stated, it logically foll<nv'j that the hrother ",rho l~ not actuated by nl0tives satisfacu)ry to otherb is subject to charges and a trial. Every l)r()ther voting on a petition has a l\fasollic right to vote a~ he thitlk~ proper. Ho ought to ,"()te ,vith a conseionce void of offense againRt God or llutU, hut ho is not responsible for the ~"L(}t fA> an)'" hun1all tribunal. 'Vhen a rejection takes place, the balloting &hould haye been so 'inviolably secret' that no one could pos~ibly kncHV ho"r any other voted, or who cast a r~jecting ballot. No one hab any right to kno",~, or even to inquire. On a ballot being Sl)read, tho hrethren arc placed under l\fasonic honor that each "vill 'vote ~ecretly, and that each one ,vill bear hi,; share of theburdetl of the result, he it what it rnay. If a rejection is declared J ea<;h one Yoting ~hould r-,tnnd as one \vho lnight haye cast the rejeetillg ballot, and no one ~hOllltl inquire of another as to his vote, or inquire at all, llluch less go about the I.Jodge Inaking confusiQ!l :and strif~, and angrily &eeking' unlawfully to JtJlOW by Wh()111 the rejecting hnllot ""vas oafJt.

And in the fttIDOUS prayer of our ancient Grand ]\{aster, at tho dedication of the Ternple, in the presence of tIle people, addressing he God of Israel, he asks hinl to ' bless tb.e stranger that cOlneth of a far country, for thy nanle's sake.' So also King David (PsalIn ~xv., 11) says: 'Ii'or thy nanlO's sake, 0 Lord, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.' And in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, (xlviii., 9) it is vvritten: 'For thy name's sake ,vill I defel: mille &nger.' And the Prophet Jerelniah alRo (xiv., 21) ,vrit(\r..;: '})o not a,bhor 111e, for thy name's sake.' "It follows, therefore, from '\vhat has been rcci~ed frolll Holy \Vrit, if the words questioned are &ectarian, that not only the

'Ve find a great deal in the proceedings, of the Grand Lodge worthy of notice, and much that we \vould gladly quote, but where to commence and where to lea ve off is the l'llost difficult question, ~nd \ve E;hall therefore hasten a conclusion by taking up the always able all1d tllteresthlg report of the Commi ttee on CorrespondQ:nc~, submitted hy Bro~" John L.

own jurIsdictions, and maintain them, and hence the Report on Correspondence of any particular jurisdiction furnishes a complete digest of the views of that jurisdiction on the various questions presented in the journals under review. We are clearly of opinion that no individual utterance would or could carry with it the weight of these semi-official expressions of opinion; nor do we believe that any permanent effect would be produced on Grand Lodge action by any other means; hence our opinion that these reports, laborious in preparation, voluminous and expensive in publication, as they are, form an indispensable desideratuln in arriving at a clear un<.1erstanding of current Masonic history." III 1868, in 'our report, noticing a decision made in Iowa, that when the Grand Lodge reverses the proceedings of a subordinate, the expelled Ineluber is thereby restored to good standing, we said:

" We cannot agree to this t for the reason that the action of the Grand Lodge does not do away with the charges, and certainly no lllember under charges can be said to be in good standing." The New York committee says = "We ackllowledge a good degree of surprise in finding Bro'. Gouley on the side of so unjust a doctrine. He must see that it assumes a Inan to be guilty without proof, and jeopardizes the $tanding of every ~Iason in the land, for if a brother's standing may be impaired by the mere fact that some one has thought proper to prefer charges against him, no one is or can be safe. Suppose charges to be preferred, and the brother thereby to lose his standing, and t upon investigation, there should be no proof to sus.. tail1 the indictment-we have known such cases-how is the brother to be compensated for the injustice done him? Why is it not time enough to assume a man's guilt when the proof has peen furnished Stnd he has failed to mQ.ke a valid defense? Why I3bould )!asons be less just than the profane, or more ready to think evil, ttnd why should we accord more ready belief to the accuser than to the &ocused? We knew of a cas~ onoewhere a brother was charged with having appropriated to his own use a sunl of' money belonging to a Lodge.. The papers were in regular form; day and d&te and amount were speoified with minute accuracy. TIle accused brother waited patiently until th~ time appointed for the trial t antt then, after beil1g duly arraigned, he stepped to the desk and 0l)en... ing the cash book, pointed to the efticiral receipt for th~ money in the handwriting of his accuser! The whole case was an injustice, but how immeasurably worse would it ha-vre been had the aecused l;neanwhile been prejudged and deemed guilty of a suppositous of". fense! Let us not go backward, or have less equity in our prooee1ciing~ than the profane."

This question has lJeen agitated sOlnewhat of late, and we Bhall review it here, for the reason that, as far as we call learn, ,ve have given our opinion on the side of the general usage of this jurisdiction, to-'\vit, that" a Mason under charges is not in good standing," and as we can find 110 Magonic usage in Missouri but what bas something to stand 011, ,ve shall attempt to repl:y to our N e\v York brethren. In the first place we hold theln to be in error vvhen they say we IlLre more unjust than the profane, for the reason that every man in the civil courts who is charged with any criIninal offence is not judged to be innocent till he is proven guiltless; for we know of 110 law which allows him to go free till he is tried, but is either put in jail or has to give bonds. The most that he can do, if he is illnocent, is to ask the public to withhold their judgmellt till he proves his case in court, and ill the meantime the public thInk what they please. If John Smith is an elnploye in the Post-otfice,{ and is charged with abstracting Inoney from letters, and the specifications given of the time, place and amount, we ask Bl路(). Simons whether John Slnith is allo'\ved to remain ill the office till his trial comes off? Again, if John SUlith commits an offence against the law in the streets, and is arrested by a poljcel1:1all, is he, because he says he is innocent, allowed to run free" without se..l curity, till he proves his innocence? Most assuredlfy not. Therefore, all this talk about the obsolete maxilU of a dead age, that "a man is judged innocent till be is proven guilty," will not hold to-day, for it has no existence, except in this, that if he is arrested for murder, and indicted by the Grand .Jury, he is not hung till he has a trial, but he must nevertheless give bonds for his appearance, or be locked up. New, to show that Masonry is more humane than the civil law, we will show that the offence is greater and the punisblnent is lighter, in this: That John Slnith has taken 110 voluntary oath that he will not ,break the peace, 01" steal, &o.,-he is merely a citizen by birth and necessity, without any other obligation than that of publie opinion or the penalty of the la,v-whereas the Mason is not only under that, but the additional voluntary obligation of respect for and obedience to the laws of his Lodge and the Fraternity. Jbhn Smitll is not only under a cloud of suspicion with the publio, but he is imprisoned besides, while the Mason is only temporarily suspended from the privileges of the Lodge, and gi-ves no bonds, but has the assurance of the law路 for a speedy and im~tial trial, and if he can prove the charges against him to be Dj1alicious, he has recourse against the accuser for gross urun 60:11duct.. If he is sU$p~nded or expelled, he has an appeal to the Grand

IJoQge, and if that body in its ,~isdom adjudges the trial not to have been regular in form, or the punishment greater than the evidene.e before them ju::,tified, th~y set aside the judgment and relnand it back for a ne,v trial, not, thereby, declaring the accused innocent of the charges, for then there would be no occasion for a new trial, but merely to give the accused. the benefit of the doubts entertained by the Grand Lodge. The ca~e ""vhich our New York brethren cite ib a very har<l one, ll.nd one that Inay occur, but it is the exception to the great gelleral law, for the Appeal Oommittee in their own Grand Lodge confirmed nearly all the Masonic punishments inflicted by the Lodges. If it shall be held that such cases are to form" usage," theI} we might agree ,vith them, but when ~ve conlpel it profane to COll'l8 under the tongue of good report, anti to nlail1tail1 thnt report thfoughout his degrees, and bind him by an obligation to he a good man and 111enlber, aIld specify the actual 1::;",v by which he is to be gO'v'erIled, then ,vo hold, that when he is not put in durance on l:nere report, but 011 specifications detailing the offense, it is inCOlllprehensible to us ho,v that In/an carn De said to be " in good Masonie standing." If our New York bl'ethrcn "vill take the trouble to first ue1ine ,vhat i'3 " good ~!asollic standing," and ,vill then sillow us how Bro. John Slnith, oharged with, perhaps, the arson of a brother's house, or the ruin of the virtue of his daughter, or ,vitia having stolen his property, comes under their definition of the above question, then we will be perfectly satisfied that they are right. We are ,veIl a,vare that InuI1Y trial::; arc based 011 very frivolous causes, ~Olne of them wholly VOid, as such, but then those who bring them in should be Inade to suffer severely, after the brother they accuse has established his innoconce.

We C&IllfJ.Ot judge it gel1eral law fronl a &pecial stand-~oillt; we 1l1Ubt vie\v It as whole, &nd Masonically, we Inust always judge the good uarue and honoroi the institution as paramount to all personal considcratiollS.

â&#x20AC;˘ The report of the Grand Secretary, Bro. W. A. M. Van Bokkelen, shows him to be mas'ter of his business, and from it we have no fear but his young Grand Lodge will have laid a :fiI'm foundation for systematic recol'ds. We appreciate his thanks to us for forwarding his proceedings from the St. Louis Post-office. We shall gbtdly aid hirn, and all others, whenever we can do so. Bro. R. H. Taylor submits a report on Correspondence which 'would do h0110r to tIle oldest Grand Lodge in the United States, and far eclipses any report ever Dlade by any Grand Lodge of the Old "\Vorld. His review shows that he lloticed evety point of interest, and is a valuable l,aper for the members of his jurisdietion. The same Brother, as Chairman of tIle Committee OIl Jurisprudence, presrented an excellent digest of Masonic la,~s. Resolutions of thanks were adopted to our late Grauel Master, Bro. DUl1scomb, and th-e Grand Secretary of Missouri. The general business of the Grand Lodge of Nevada shows that they have Inembers who have studied the formula of Grand Lodges to SOIne practical purpose.

From the tables of the Grand Secretary we find 145 initiated alld 137 raised, 144 affiliated and only 73 dimitted. There were 12 deaths out of a total membership of 921. M. W. Bro. Geo. W.

His Annual Address is a full statement of a very large amount of official business transacted, and is a good, practical document.

The Grand Master reported havillg i8sued four dispel1Rations for uew Lodges. His Annual AddreRs is a good one and to the point. Among hig decisions we notice one ,ve can not agree "\vith, to-wit: that in order for one hrother to vaucll for another, 11e luust have sat in Lodge,vith him "within one year," which precludes the voucher in case he sat with hin1 only two years ago. lIe made one other decision which, although founded on sound sense, viz: that an unfavorable report does not do away \vith the ballot, was reversed by the Grand Lodge; because, forsooth, Bro. "Mackey's Jurisprudence" decided otherwise.. From Bro. Stuith's decision before us, ,ve are satisfied that he kllO'VS fully as

much as Bro.. Mackey does on Jurisprudence, and ,ve lUUSt say 'we are astonished that any Grand Lodge at this day should have decided that a luan can be declared rejected without a ballot, and even ,vithout a formal objection. Bro. S. F. Chadwick rendered a faitful report on Correspond.ence, in ,vhich Missouri ,vas fraternally noticed.

The jurisprudence of Pennsylvania is in full accordanoe with that of other States; that is, as nearly so as the different States generally arrive at, and, although its usage is governed by the " Ahiman Rezon," yet its "law givers" recognize the great prineiples of Oonservative Freemasonry, and none 1110re so than the one whose annual address is before us, viz: Bro. ,raux. His addresses, both official and voluntary, show him to be a man "vIlo recognizes the genius of our institution, and they are so replete with thought and the sublime literature of the institution that we cannot do otherwise than arrive at the conclusion that he h&5 drank deeply at the fountain of Masonic inspiration. The last annual address and the oration 9.Jt the laying of the corller-stone have already been reviewed by us, and we regret that space will not permit us to reproduce rnallY of his beautiful thoughts. R. W. Bro. San1ucl C. Perkins submitted an ulluElually interesting report on Correspondenoe, in which our proceedings of 1867 reoei,red very fraternal notice.

vVe congratulate the Grand Secretary on realizing the vast i111pOd"tance of statistical tables r a,nd from them we gather that there were 8,681 initiated (raisings not reported), 583 affiliations, 838 resignations, 668 rejected, and 268 died, out of a total membership of .26,140. 'Ve do not like the ,vord "resigned;" it snlacks too much of the idea that a member may sever his allegiance to the fraternity.; we like better, the term dimit-which properly designates one who has boon dismissed from certain dues and membership, and not from obligations.

"The D. th'and Master delivered a beautiful extelnporaneous address." The Grana Lodge wisely decided that a Inember has not the right of a'"ppetlbl to the Grand Lodge because his Lodge did not find some one guilty.

It pays a fitting tribute to the death of Past Grand Master and Past Grand Secretary, Chus. A. Fuller, whose death we noticed in our last report.

The (iranu Lodges of Ne\v Bruns\viek and Nova Scotia were recognized. The decisions sublnitted by the Oomnlittee OIl Jurisprudence s,\re in full h&rmony with those of our o,vn jurisdiction. A conlnlunication was received from the Grand Master of Odd Fellows, requesting an harmonious burial service for such members 1\,8 belong both to our Fraternity and their Order, ,vhich was referred to a committee of Past Grand 1\JIasters, who reported that they could see no "ray in which such an arrangement could ue acoomplished.

The annual address is an excellent paper, giving a praetical re... port of affairs. He properly l路ebukes tIle invasion of the jurisdietion of Louisiana by the Grand Orient of France, and also denounces strongly the use of cyphers, &c., ill the ritualistic work of Masonry. He reports baving granted four dispensations for Ilew Lodges. ~F'rom the report of the Grand Treasurer "vo find a fo;pecie bn'!.. nnce on hand of $3,510 57, and currency $1,368 00.

Happy Grand Lodge! 'Ve th}nk ,"ve have a faint recolle0tion of the Li chinl{ of coin;" we are satisfied to "nlako ends 11le~t" with currency, at about sixty cents on the dollar. From the proceedings, we see that one Lodge ceased to exist, be.. cause it only used the work of the Grand Lodge under protest, ~tH communicated by the D. D. Grand Master. As this is sOlnewhat analogous to a case in our

O,"Vll 8t~tte,

'\ve

will remark that, most of such cases arise, not so much from tho pad intentions of the members, as the want of knowledge by the Worshipful Master. Every Worshipful Master should know that it is his sworn duty to enforce the orders of the Grand Lodge,

whether the members like them or not, and when he entertains any motion to set them at defiance he is the guilty party, and slaoQld be taught a lesson for lack of information. SOlne members are green enough to propose all sorts of resolutions, and if the Wor$hipful Master is ignorant enough to entertain them, the rest of tho membexs take it tor granted that it is all right, and will adopt them; hence goes the charter and property, simply because one !nan does not know his duty. At this very point, we will take oCcasion to say a word about tile qualification of Masters, because it is one of the most impQrtant <'!uestions in MMonry, and one too much overlooked. In the first ~aee, he should not only know thc ritual, but the la~v and the regular u8age of Masonry, and if he does not know them when elected, lle shoold learn them at once afterwards, or else not have the brass to aocept a post for which he is totally unqUalified. He should bo man ()f nerve and decision of character, tempered witll 8> high ~nse of justio~ and mercy; not easily excited, and should neYer

show temper, but act with oahn deliberation and decision. If he laeks a full knowledge of any case, he should have the modesty to seek wisdom from those who do know. We have heard of Masters who boasted that they had run a Lodge a ,vhole year by common sense alone, without ever having studied the law of the Grand Lodge, or sought information through any other Masonic light, and we have revised the work of such Masters and found, on the whole, that Dogberry's clerk should have been Secretary, and" writ him down an Ass," in the minutes. A good workmall in the ritual is one thing, that is the accomplishment of a good journeyman; but to be a "Master workman" is to be a Master ,vho knows ho,v to l&y out his work on the r.rr~stle Board and see it properly executed, and this can only be done by going down below the surface of thing's in Masonic art, and developing its vast resources of thought, by analysis, and the combinations of la,v and work. How 111any are there? Alas! too few. The brethren will not STUDY. H Study" is one oithe working tools of Masonry unfortunately not laid down in the Master's charge. The Grand Lodge adopted a resolution prohibiting "double membership." The reports of the various committees show great diligence and thought, but we regret that they made so many supplemental reports, instead of combining the work of each committee in one report. Bros. M. F. Mott, M. W. Baker, and S. H. Gilman submitted a good 'report on Correspondence. From the tables, we find 875 initiated, and 725 raised, being a discrepancy of 150, whicll is very large; 738 aftiliated, against 854 dimitted ; 334 rejected, and 221 died, out of a total membership of 10,506. M. W. Bro. Philip C. Tucker, of Galveston, was elected Grand Master, and R. W. Bro. Geo. H. Bringhurst, of Houston, re-elected Grand Secretary. Bidding farewell to the Grand Lodges of the Southwest, we come next to the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of

VERMONT, Which met at Montpelier, January 9, 1867; presided over by M. W. Bro. Leverett B. Englesby, Grand Master. As these proceedings are now nearly three years old and the :rnatters treated of therein having been fully put before Craft in more reoent reports and Masonic publications, we shall hasten on in our already lengthened review to tIle Grand Lodge of

VIRGINIA, Which met in Richmond, December 14,1868; presided over by M. W. Bro. William Terry, Grand Master. Number of Lodges represented not enunlerated. The Annual Address is a good paper, giving a full review of official doings.

He reports having refused all applications for dispensations to <楼lnfer degrees out of the regular time, as he was satIsfied that "more evil than good is likely to result from this practice." Sensible. In treating of the ever recurring question of qualification of candidates, he decides according to the landmarks, and would to God that other Grand Masters would do the same, and then brethren would probably take the time to study what the landmarks prescribe, viz: sound limbs, sound head and a sound character,

and honesty and industry enough to earn a livelihood. Nine-tenths of the applicatiolls in 路our own State for such dis.. pensations arise from affiliated members from some other juris.. dictions, where any of these requirenlents may be set aside for the fee of $5.

The Grand Master reports fully upon the status of the Grand Lodge of West Virginia, and the subsequent action of the Grand I.Jodge of Virginia in recognizing the new Grand body, disposes of any future action on our part in the premises, beyond the recognition of the Grand Lodge of West Virginia, which we shall offer In a closing resolntion .

We find no report on Foreign Correspondence, and I"egret, also, that ,ve have no recapitulation of Lodges, work, or members. Could not the D. Grand Secretary give us some light on this question? M.

The Grand Master draws attention to the revision of the constItution, (now before us,) which has been well gotten up, and is in Sill respects a model code. He dwells with becoming severity upon the action of the Grand Orien t of France in Louisiana. He granted dispensations for three new Lodges. Bro. G. Bouck submitted a very brief report on Correspondence. A memorial for charity was read from Bro. David Stiles, lOB jtears old. From the tables we find 1,079 ,ver~ initiated and 956 raised, \vhich shows a deficiency of 123; 306 affiliated and 510 dimitted, a difference of 204; 586 were rejected and 84 died, out of a total membership of 8,551. M. W. Bro. Gabriel Bouck, of Oshkosh, was elected Grand Master; and R. W. Bro. Wm. T. Palmer was re-elected Grand Secretary, and Bro. S. Cadwalader appointed Committee on Foreign Correspondence. Both of Milwaukee.

We are now drawing the journal of our sojourn among the American Grand Lodges to a close, and shall conclude with a review of the farthest Northwest extremity of the Republic, up near the newly acquired Territory of Alaska, viz., the Grand Lodge of

,VASHINGTON TERRITORY, Which met in Ol;r111pia,011 September 17, 1868; opened by R. W. Bro. E. A. Light, D. Grand Master, &fterward presided over by M. W. Bro. James Bills, Grand Master. Ten Lodges were rep-resented. 011 the second day, tbe Grand Master delivered his annual &tldress, which is brief and lheal.

He reports having granted a dispensation to form a new Lodge Alaska, named Alaska Lodge; also, one for his own Territory. We regret th&t he granted dispensations to confer degrees on peraOJlS about leaVing home, the reasons for our regret having already btttll expressed in this report. A Charter was granted to Blue llountain Lodge, U. D., (No. 13,) and" Bro. Stine was duly adliaitt<id as the representative of Blue Mountain Lodge, No.1S, befQre the Grand Lodge." This we also regret, bec~use it is not in striot 8lGooJ;d8JJ,oe with the law or usage.

work, and its officers installed; after that was done, Bro. Stine mayor may nQt have been an officer of the Lodge, (aecording to th~ election by the Craft,) but by any circumstances he could not be the representative of a Lodge that had not been regularly set to work. The Grand Lodge (011 account of the 'l present situation" of the treasury) did not publish the full report on correspondence submit-. ted by R. W. Bro. Thos. M.. Reed, who, from the reputation of his former work, we are satisfied did his work well. Take courage, bre.thren, we hope for better times, when you may give to your craft the report of the far off and distant world of Masonry which lies to the east of you. From the tables, we :find 38 iuitiated and 25 raised, 12 admitted and 32 dimited, 21 suspended, 3 expelled, and 20 rejected, which, out of the number of applicants, is a very large percentage, and shows diligent scrutiny of the ballot box. 4 died, out of a total membership of 348. M. W. Bro. Benj. E. Lombard, of Port Madison, was elected Grand Master, and R. W . Bro. Thos. M. Reed, of Olympia, reelected Grand Secretary.

EUROPEAN GRAND LODGES. As Masonry is not confined to any particular part of the world, we take leave of the American Continent, and, with the Committee on Foreign Correspondence in the Grand Lodge of New York, we take a trip through such of the European Grand Lodges as have sent in their proceedings, and shall herewith publish a condensed form of the New York report.

As for European Masonry, outside of Great Britain, we have lost much confidenoe in its thoroughness and purity. It has become too much mixed up with the outside grades, and, as for the work and lectures in Continental Europe, it is almost a burlesque on the full and complete work of the United States. The juris.. prudenoe of Masonry ther'e is almost entirely neglected, and tbe jurisdictional rights of Grand Bodies are almost unknown. They pay but very little attention to the residence of a candidate (with rare exceptions), and they have only begun to improve by the perusal of American reports. If a report of such length, on FOI1'eign Correspondence, as the one we have just read, was presented, it would fall like a bombshell in any Grand Lodge in the world, outside of America.. It is only on this oontinent that Freemasons (u private members of a Lodge) are expected to read and know what

1869.J

Appe1~dix.

183

every Grand Lodge in the world does and says.. However, witllout any further preface, we shall proceed with our Europ~an to\lr; ENGLAND.

'Ve are favored with copies of the printed Transactions of this most ancient of Grand Lodges, at its several stated and special nommunications during the year 1868 ; and, accompanying them, we have notice of the sudden death I of the V. W. Wm. Gray Clarke, for many years Grand Secretary. At the annual Grand Festival held on the 29th of April, 1868, Grand l\rlaster the Earl of Zetland presided, and was for the twentyfifth time proclaimed Grand Master of Masons. At the quarterly communication on the 3d of June, 1868, the M. W. Bro. again presided.. The Board of Benevolence reported donations made to sundry applicants, and recommended others to the special care of the Grand Lodge; the sums thus disposed 0 for the quarter ending in May, amounted to about $4,000. The report of the Board of General Purposes led to a lengthy and interesting debate, especially to us on this side of the water,

where the mooted questions would bave been settled with very little argument. The first question was, the arraignment of the Master of a Lodge for having initiated seven candidates on one and the same day. During the discussiQn came up incidentally the propriety or impropriety of obligating more than one candidate at a time. The Grand Master deemed it highly inexpedient to obligate more than one candidate at a time. No action was taken on this incidental question, but the Lodge was suspended for its violation of the Constitution. Another Lodge was under complaint for having elected its Master at an emergent communication; but this error was condoned. A long debate followed on the propriety of legalizing life memberships in Lodges by one payment; the most noteworthy feature was the determination of several of the speakers to interpret the Oonstitution as they thought it ought to be, instead of as it reallyis. The principle of life membership appeared to meet with considerable favol, and the matter was finally referred back to the Boa;rd to present an amendment in proper form. An especial Grand Lodge was held on the 17th of J" une, for the purpose of laying a corner-stone. We have heard some discussion of late as to the propriety of forming Masonic pro<Yessions on occasions other than ful1e~als, right in front, or the Grand Master at

On the occasion her~ referred to, the form of the procession is given in full; the Grand Master being preceded by all the brethren, save the Grand Deacons, t,vo Grand Stewards, and the Grand Tyler, who follow him. At the specIal commnnication held on the 1st of July, measures \lyere inaugurated for celebrating in an appropriate luanner the twenty-fifth accession to office of the Grand Master of England, in.. volving, we infer from the remarks of the proposer, a tribute, or as we pbra&e it, a testimonial, to which all the Masons of the juris.. diction should have an opportunity to contribute. A.t the quarterly communication in September, an appeal came np from a colonial Lodge, which discovers the fact that a brother had made himself obnoxious to the Lodge, by inducing candidates not to present themselves for initiation after their petitions had been accepted. OWing to this trouble, the brother complained of paid his dues and asked for a dimit, which was granted, with direotion that on thc baclt of it should be copied a resolution of censure on the dimittingbrother, adopted by the Lodge. The order of the Lodge was obeyed, and oertified by the Master alld Secretary. The ag~rieved brothel' complained to the District Grand Master, who summoned the Master before him, directed hhn to expunge the proceedings from the minutes and issue a proper dimit. The Master" instead of obeying, undertook to argue, vvhereupon the District Grand Master suspended h~m from his functions, and his action was sustained by the Grand Lodge. Save the order to expunge from the minutes, the proceedings of the District Grand Master app8&r to us correct. At the quarterly communication 111 Decelnber, the Grand Lodge, by un~nimous vote, appropriated one hundred guineas aid of the $l;Cfferers by the earthquake in Peru.

The Earl of Zetland was again proposed for re-election. The Board of Benevolenoe reported charitable donations to the amount of $4,000.

The Building Committee &:n,uouneed the near completion of the Grand Lodge Hall, and its approaching dedication by the Gramd Master. The Transactions thus briefly notioed are printed on folio sheets of paper, and not by any means ill the best style of the art. We cannot but regret that this Gralld Lodge should not esteenl its printed Transactions of sufficient importance to put them in 8more convellient form for permanent preservation.

Craft In their several jurisdictloIlIS, we think the traubaetionb of the (j路rand Lodges on this continent will be adluitted to be considerably in advance of those of the source from ,vhence they derive their existence. FltANOE.

The (}eneral Absernbly of the Grand Orient of }i"rallce was held in the city of Paris, June 1, 1868. 280 subordinate bodies were represented by 272 brethren. M. W. Bro. Mellinet, Grand l\faster ; R. W. Bro. Thevenot, Grand Secretary. The annual address is really a very fine paper, opening '\vith congratulations upon the progress Inade during the past few years, notwithstanding the open and covert attacks upon the Craft, in.. viting retaliation, but failing.

The Grand l\{astcr, 'Yith SOIIle cOIllplacency, refers to the estab... hbhment of thirty-three ne\v Lodges in a single year, as a relnark.. able, and perhaps unprecedented fact. Considering the population represented by the Grand Orient, c0111pared with that in the jurIs.. dictions of our heaviest Grand Lodges, he '\vould hardly feel a$ great a degree of surprise in the progress of his jurisdiction, were be to note the pace kel')t up by many of ours. He calls upon. our enenlies to note the fact, that our success is not so much due to our own devotion and zeal, as to the torrent of calumny directed against us. Says he: "Indignation has shaken off indifference, and created Preemasons.' , He further ouserve&, a~ do so mallY of our Anleric&u Grand Masters, that danger is not so IDuch ta be apprehended from that direction, as from our own remissness.

He submits far consideration a nUlnber of questions, as for instance: U When the officers of a Lodge neglect their duties, an<l fall to attend the conlmunications of their Lodges, what is to be done? ~fay they be fined, others elected in their places, or must the Lodge patiently bear the evil until the regular elections?" If the question were asked us, ,ve should unhesitatingly mend the latter course.

We are under the unpression that the Granu Lodge of Missoun requires such election to be had; but we think that in all other Grand Lodges in this country the officers nunled in the warrant serve until the next regular time of choosing. He also submits the questiol1, ,vhether a profane, "vhose petition has been rejected, can afterward be initiated by the rejecting or any other Lodge? And concludes with a tribute of respect to the memory of Bro. Lengel, Deputy Grand Master, deceased. The Grand Orient engaged in a lengthy debate 011 a proposition to separate the legislative and judicial functions of the body, and in the amendment and adoption of a code of trials and appeals. It would require a small volume to reproduce the code, to say nothing of the debate. It has the fault of nlost of the French regulations, of being vastly too intricate, and hence liable to a multitude of abuses that might be avoided by &imple forms and less elaborate proceedings. The tendency of the Grand Orient to extend its legislation to the minutest details seems to us a weakness, although it is copied from the forms of the French municipal law . In this country it would either drive the brethren out of the Lodges, or into the Lunatic Asylum. After the discussion of the financial budget, the Grand Orator delivered a most eloquent address. In summing up the labors of the Grand Orient, he refers, among other nlatters, to its deterlnin.. ation to aid to the extent of its power in diffusing education and intelligence among the people, very truly saying that the cause of education is the cause of Masonry, that our duty incites us to COn1bat unceasingly against misery and ignorance, that to give ,vith th-e daily bread the bread of intelligence is our best answer to thooc who calumniate us. How many children, he asks, are kept from school by the stupid avarice or fearful misery of their parents? Who has not seen a mother receiving a letter from ller SOl1, sick beyond seas, and vainly seeking some one to tell her whether the paper that fairly burns her hands contains the life or death of her boy?

Wherever an upright idea is produced, wherever a generouE:, sentiment is manifested, wherever progress is realized, he would have the hand and the mind of Masonry recognized. Tbe session closed with the usual banquet. Thus far we have followed the proceedings of our French brethren with a certain degree of pleasure, for, notwithstanding their methods of transacting business lack that simplicity and directness characteristic of the AmericRll system, we perceive a desire to cultivate the true spirit of the Institution and to overcome the

many difficulties ill their waJ ; but we come now to a proceeding utterly without justification and whic11 we are obliged to condemn, because it violates one of the most firmly established and dearly cherished principles of Masonic government,-the right of exclusive Grand Lodge jurisdiction over the establishment and working of Lodges of Symbolic or Ancient Craft Masonry. This right is not only claimed, exercised, and respected by the Grand Lodge~ of this country, and indeed of the world generally, butis most jealously guarded from invasion; and not only will each Grand Lodge stand a sleepless sentinel over its own territory, but It will unite in protecting the adlnitted rights of its neighbors from allY and all attacl~s. The first and most offensive of such invasions of long and rightfully established jurisdiction occurs in the case of this Grand Lodge, the legitiu1ate territory of which has been and '3till is violated by the Grand Lodge of Hamburg, in planting two bllbordinat~s, o'\ving it exclusive fealty and allegiance, and yet located on New York soil. Another and not less discreditable attempt is now in the course of exelnplification at the expense of our peer, the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, where a spurious and clandestine body, styling itself a Supreme Council, but having no "iemblance of authority, has assumed to establish several subordinate Lodges, which proceeding 011 its part has been recognized by the Grand Orient as lawful and regular, and relations of amity have been entered into bet,veen the said Grand Orient and the socalled Supreme Couneil.

manaO'eme-nt of the frerein by able leaders has been so far success.. ful as to call for action of the various Grand Bodies of Gerluany, although, as might have been antIcipated, with no success as far as the adoption of its vie"vs is concerned. (5

The report of the COlllmittee appointed by the Grand Lodge of Saxony, on the luanifesto and proposed laws of the yrerein, is so thorough, able, and unanswerable, and so 11luch superior to any other ,ve have lllet With, that we feel fully warranted, and it give~ LtS 111uch pleasnre, to tran&fer the largebt portion of it to our pages. rrhe report ,vab unanimously adopted by the Grand Lodge. After stating that a report upon the submitted documents of the 17er"cin does not necessarily inJply a recognition of the body, th~

committee ~ay that the question involved is to critically investigate tIle propositions, vvhich they think should be done by every Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodges, if they choose, ,vould then be at lib~ erty to decline further participation; they alone being the compe~ tent authority to dispose of affairs of that nature, as is also fully acknowledged by the TTerein itself. If agitation, and with this partial disintegration of the Union, is to be prevented, the Grand Lodges must explain to their daughter Lodges the purport of the propositions, vvithol1t taking the legality of the Vereln in consideration, or whether it is recognized by the l\Iasonic Grand Bodies a& just and lawful or not. Without, therefore, entering any further ttpOll the discubsion of this point, the committee proceeds to the ex.amination of the fundaluental laws adopted by the Verein at its session in 1867, a synopsis of which, a~ $\tated before, will be found on page 150 of our la~t year's report. The eommittee goes on to say: ,( Tho Verein de~ltf>fJher Freirnau,-er, the presiding officer& of which are Bros. Seydel and Findel, of Leipsic, etc., consisting mostly of brethren of 'Vest German Lodges, adopted at its session held at Worms, in 1867, general fundamental laws of Freemasonry, a copy of vvh~ch, accompanied by a printed luanifesto, was trans:rnitted to all the Grand Lodg~s of the world, and the ,vish expressed that they should examine them with the vie,v of adoption, and the formation of National Grand Lodges, and a Universal Grand Lodge of the world. In the manifesto, the Ve1"6in expresses the opini'On, that a.lthough Freemasour:y' is universal, and all the Lodges and brethren on the face of the globe ill re&lity constitute one Lodge onlYt yet that during the last century it had undergone a centrifu.. gal motion by the fornlation of numerous Grand Lodges and systems, which had led to diversities in constitution and doctrine, in customs and activity. Unity was preserved only by a spirit of a comlnon brotherhood, and by the ties of the same forms unity 11al(l

'rile ll'erein further mentions, that it ,vould be advantageous if all Grand Lodges vvonld offer their aid ill calling together International Masonic Congresses, and in forming Adnlinistratlve COlnmittees for the "\vhole l Tnioll, as the 1Jniversal Grand Lodge of tho '\\1"hole world. "We will recur to the ÂŁsubject again, and wlllllO'\V proceed to the eOl1E,ideration of the funda111ental law, vvhich, in t\venty-onâ&#x201A;Ź sections, treats of the follo\ving pain tf:, : "Sections 1 and 2 ~tate the object of the Unio11 to be: 'The representation of the hunlan race a~ a totality, united in brot11erly love, to labor unitedly for all that is true, beautiful, U11d good; as the Union of all Unions; as the most extended community 011 earth, that invites all those to labor in common and friendly connection \vho honestly seek to commune witll those of the sanle mind, but that excludes such as exclude thenlselves, by the ,vant of a uniting love, and an active participation in these objects.' " Section 3 enumerates the Ineans by which this object is to ~e obtainetl: 1. By the confederation of itself. 2. By the elevating and instructive influences exercised by Lodge ,vorl{ and tIle ritual. 3. By external labor, particularly by the works of charity, the erection and support of useful institutions, the elevation of the masser:, by educatIon, and the support of scientific and other civilizing en-

terprises. '1Ve question ,vhether scientific enterprises are

o~jects

of Masonic inquiry, aside from the very broad conception; there

are needed for that purpose learned men, the aid of large amountE, of rnolleJ''', and the book trade.' ct

Sections 8-11 give the real pith of the Constitution of the Ilew

Union. According to these, l all Lodges that adopt the proposed fundanlent&llaws, and furnish a certificate from a Grand Lodge, or three recognized Lodges, as possessing the necessary moral Masonic qualifications,' shall be held la,vful Lodges, and form a part of the Union.

facted. Isolated Lodges are not to exist in future, but every isolated Lodge and Lodge Unions are to unite: 1. With the National Grand Lodge, designated a'S the National Lodge Union. 2. And through the mediuIll of this National Confederation, ,vith the Universal Grand Lodge of the world. According to this, Germany, for instance, might contain a number of Grand Lodges, but they ,vould have to unite as a .single German National Grand Lodge. The National Grand Lodge of the worlu would have to fornl the Universal Grand Lodge. This would result in a complete centraltzation of Masons into National Grand Lodges, and these again into a Universal Grand Lodge of the world. "We pass, as of no iInportance, Sections 8 and 9, treating of tho the election of officers and delegates; but ,vill dwell 011 Section 10, which treats of the '\vorking of the Grand Lodges. They are to labor by means of National and International Masonic Oongresseb, The Grand Lodges, at present stationary, would certainly have to transform thenlselves into annaul asseIllbli('s of Lodge deputies, trom which the respective officers would have to be elected. The Grand Lodge'3, conlposed of the deputies of tIle respective Lodge Unions, are to assemble periodically for their labors; but 'l.vhet"e this cannot be done, the several Lodge Unions (Grand Lodges) of the same Constitution, and which have relations with each other, shall meet together. From these National Lodge Unions, which are to elect their officers anew at every meeting, are to be selected the delegates to the international Masonic Congress, which is to hold its session every fifth or seventh year. This Congress has to deliberate and enact special laws, and decide on what is lawful Masonic work; it elects officers, gives them authority, and forms the Supreme Oourt for the support of the general lTnion laws. In cases of controversy, it is the highest Court of Appeals for the Confederation under its jurisdiction. "Section 11 requires that' every member of the Union ~hal1 be sUbject to the laws of the Confederation and the la\vs of the State.' This is self-evident to us. We must state, however, that the State that merely tolerates, but does not recognize us, has never enforced the laws relative to secret societies against us, nor have we ever given it cause to do so. " Sections 12-18 speak of the internal arrangements; for instan~e7 of the conditions of initiation, etc., where, as heretofore, politiclibl and religious discussions are excluded fronl the Lodge; also of degrees, which, since 1811, consists with us in the three St. JOhl'lts degrees; also of the right~ and duties of Masons. "Section 19, which treats of what the Freemason is to keep se(~ret from the profane, we think, is not precis~ ellough; ne~tbet

"IDes it enjoin to l~eep secret the syulbolisDl of lVlasonry and the ritual. The same nlay be said of ~he Lodge proceedings. U Although under section 20 the right of diluitting at pleasure froln the Lodge is enunlerated, yet we notice the ahsence of the elause that the real cause for the demand of a diwit Sllould be given by the Inelnuer asking for it. Affiliation with the Lodge must not rest upon too slight a foundation.

"\Vhat is said in reference to discontinuance of cen~orshil), we pass with the single renlark that in Saxony it is not exercised by either the Grand Lodge or her daughter Lodges.

"No doubt the authors of these laws had before them the Ancient Oharges and. Regulationr,. We question, however, whether at the present tinle there is anyone ,vho could state the nature of ~fasoI1ry, so far as the saIne can be stated by words or ","riting, in a nl0re terse, Inore po-vverful, or in better language than it is done in the Ancient Charges. Au ~xanlil1atioll of' the proposed la"\vs ill detail we dee111 ulluecessary, for reasons which will hereafter appear, as a dic:>cussion of the fundamental principle which pervades the whole of the proposed laws is of far greater iInportance. We ther'efore proceed to state the general impression the work leaves on our nlin<1s. "For this purpose, ,ve have proposed the following questions to ourselveE> :

" .Are these pr'oposed jundalnental law8 necessary and 'Usejul to Jrlasonry, and can they be car9"ied into execution?

"Are they necessary, in the Lodges oj

~u~ejul,

and can they be car'ried into

eff~ct

~taxony ?

"In answering these questions, we point in the first place to the fact that the unity and a certain cohesiveness of the whole }:[as()Ilio community, vvhich, in spite of the various Grand Lodges and systems, manifests itself" is certainly only ideal, and not so strictly defined as are the political forms of a State, particularly if governed with strong centralizing power. 'fhe unity of Masonry on the face of th.e globe does not, ho,vever, manifest itself through one single central point, but through a mass of centers-Grand Lodges, and, .sirlâ&#x201A;Ź from that, through universally acknowledged and customar:}'I'

signs, words and grips of the St. John's degrees, through certi:fioates, through mutual recognition and representation of the Grand IJQdges among themselves, and consequently of the single Lodges, a.nd particularly by the mutually pledged ~ud practised spirit of 'brotherhood, alld in general by the secret feeling of mutually sym... pathizing spirits whicll cannot be expressed by words.

" These have thus far sufficed, and ","e Hoed look Lack only a century and a half' to transform 111anifold separations which oth.. erwise would have kept people apart, into u drawing nigh to each other,' and that ill a different ll1anner; that is to say, closer than either State or Church can effct it. Altogether they have operated to advance humanity, civilization, and a feeling of coherency, not of the Masonic world alone, but, in fact, of the hu?nan 1'"ace also. 'Vhere is the J\;Iason ,vho can or will deny that l\Iasonry, up to this time, has everywhere endeavored to solve these probleIlls, in spite of the defect of a strong formal unity, such as the papers before us demand. 'Ve are, ho,vever, not able to judge ,vith ,vhat success this effort has been cro,vned everywhere and in general, leaving out of consideration the constantly increasing nlunber of Lodges and brethren. 'Ve are, ho,vever, ,villing to believe '\vith Lessing, l that very m~tIlY and great deeds have been perfornlcd by l\Iasons ill the vvorld,' eyen great and good deeds, ,vhich strictly do llot come within the province of charity. Sblce the last cel1tur~r, stars of the first magnitude shone in splendor in the iirlnanlent of cultt1rei Ilut in Germany alone. rrheir naU1CS appear 011 the Lodge rolls. Their Masonic acts ,vere voluntary. Our U 11 ion doeb not give the ,vatchword for single great deeds. rl'h~y, nevertheless, received the inspiration for them ill the Lodges, and fron~ the noble principles of l\Iasonry, '\vhich, in spite of tho laek of a strict fornlal unity of the Institution, is the sanle every,vhere 011 the faco of the globe. What noble and great deeds have boen porfornled in the 路w"orld by the l\Iason~ of our times we ,vill not venture to determine. But enthusiastic and gifted members have co-operated to the present day, wherever enlightenment, adV.1IlCenlent and education, justice, and civilization were in question. For this they were not authorized by central authorities of Masonry, but were led to it by the Masonic heart and by their intelligence. Wherever l\tlasonry is not prohibited she has moved in great freedo111, as she only wants to create all that is noble. Of the rigor with which some Grand Lodges are said to govern their luembers ,ve cannot judge, as we have no reliable data to support the assertion. We can, however, say of our own Grand Lodge, tha.t she has not circunlscribed the liberties of her daughter Lodges, but rather protected and furthered them. Masons generally are not mere cyphers used by secret superiors to calculate arithmetical exam!)les. ' "The fruits of their efforts for truth, light, justice, and charity extend beyond the IJodges to the people. The true Mason acts not only in the Lodge, but also outside of it, according to the principles of Masonry. 'Ve, therofore;most decidedly dissent from. the assertion of the authors of the manifesto, that the Masonic institution is not truly and in the full sense a union of and for hurnanity, as long

as her unity is not based upon these fundamental laws. Our Lodge Union, and we are sure that others occupy the same position.. has always conceived Masonry to be a union for, and therefore also with, humanity. We are of the firm opinion that Masonry, even if some cotemporaries think that her progress and the further perfecting of her forms are slow, has not become decrepit. Neither do we believe that the moment has arrived when she, with all her forms, will be absorbed by the whirlpool of the world, and thus becolne public. At present, and for a long tinle to come, she will be of greater benefit to mankind if she retains and carefully improves her forn!. She will then remain a union for and with the human race, as she oontinually recruits herself from it.

We have met in this draft of laws lnany points and regulations which are not new to us, nor are they injudicious, as they are also contained in the constitution of our Grand Lodge and her daughter Lodges. But we have also met with regulations which arc entirely antagonistic to the spirit of numerous I.Jodges and Lodge Unions, working the high degrees and after the forms of an Order. They have reference to the formation of their Grand Lodges, to the abolition of the requirement of a profession of Chl路istianity, whicll has become obsolete with us long ago, etc., etc. 'Ve do not deem it necessary, however, to examine these points any further, as, mindfulof the institutions of our Lodge Union it is not our province to take under our protection or cOlubat tIle form of the Order of Masonry, and what pertains thereto. We believe, however, that the existence of Lodge UIlions in the form of an Order of Masonry, high degrees, and the requirement of a profession of Christianity amollg the brethren, would militate against a closer union with Lodges formed after the old English rite, without the forma of an Order, and with the greatest liberality of their regulations, particularly the German Grand Lodges as they now exist. More than that, we think it will make the projected formation of National Grand Lodges, which seems to be the main point of the proposed laws, an impossibility.

HIt is self evident that the future German National Grand Lodge alone can be of particular interest to us. At present there exist in Masonic Germany, if we may use that term, besides the three Prussian Grand Lodges, one of which for some time past bas been known as the Grand Lodge of Freemasons of Germany, :fi:'\1e Grand Lodges, viz., of Hamburg, StlXony, Baireuth, Darmstadt r a,nd the Eclectic Union of Frankfort on...the-Main. The full forms of ~n Order and high degrees are possessed by only two of tIle Prussian Grand Lodges, but in point of number of daughter Lodges tbud membership they far excel the rest of the German Grand Lodges. The other five German Grand Lodges have not the forma

[Oct.

of an order, nor the exclUSIon of non-ChrIstians. These eight Grand Lodges are to be thrown together into one German National Grand Lodge, but in other respects are to continue, each by itself, as Lodge Unions. It is not positively decided whether they are to follow the older political idea of Germany, or form themselves into a North Gerlnan or South German National Grand Lodge. But \vhatever form it mayassunle, in any case, the Berlin Grand Lodges far outnumberIng all other German Grand Lodges in the future German National Grand Lodges, would, of course, have secured to themselves an effectiV'e superiority; a circumstance whereby the position and influence of the rest of the Grand Lodges, possessing equal rights, would be greatly changed. But in this idea of 'National Grand Lodge,' as well as 'Universal Grand Lodge,' yet to be discussed, is enveloped a principle whicll calls for serious attention, and \vhich we have cursorily pointed out; it is the principle of centralization. We do not know, in advance, whether a National Grand Lodge, composed of eight Grand Lodges, ,vorking after somewhat differing rites, will be easily formed, and ,vhether thig mode of centralization, unknown and untried in Masonry, will be nlore conducive to the development of ,vhat is good, true, and beautiful, than the present independent forln of the German Grand Lodges. Neither do we know whether, sooner or later, intrigue would 110t creep into the place of brotherly love, and a feeling of jealousy and mutual mistrust spring up, a feeling which, we are pleased to say, does not now exist either bet\veen the single Grand Lodges or our daughter Lodges. If considered from this important point of view, we seriously question the utility of the formation of & German National Grand Lodge. Neither can we convince ourselves of the necessity of the same. For all German Grand Lodges, by mutual recognition, representation, and tIle exchange of printed Transactions, are so fully in communication with each other, that every German Mason may, and does, consider himself a full Inem.. ber of the great Masonic family, whereycr the 1fasonic gavel resounds in any of the Lodges of Germany. u Oentralization may be greatly conducive to clerical, political, and military power, but Masonry does not need it. She abhors positions of that kind, which might lead us back to the justly for.. gotten strict observance of the last century. Considering the high position Masonry occupies in Germany, ,ve know not of what use a l\-Iasonic national centralization would be. Perhaps the lrerein had in view a complete fusion of all existing systems in Germany, and the establishment of an entirely new system placed on a 路v'ery broad basis; but of this there is no mention made. An effort of that kind would encounter the greatest opposition.

"The same doubts arise when we consider the establishment of

tll Universal Grand Lodge. At the present time Europe bas twentythree Grand Lodges, but a mucll larger number exist in North, Middle, and South America. North America numbers thirty-nine; the whole of AmerIca, fifty-five. The whole world, therefore, would contain about seventy-eight Grand Lodges, a l)art of which, to SOl'ue extent, lay clahn to the ilnportance or form of National Grand Lodges, lIke those in the several States of America, ill England, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Portugal, and Prussia; although, if ~'re eO!1ceive l\Iasonry to be a union of the human race, the narrow political idea of nationality is not properly applicable to the conception of National Grand Lodge. All attempts heretofore made to centralize lVlasonry according to national districts or boundaries could not be carried out, and have failed. But the idea of centralizing the ~fasonry of the whole world is altogether novel, and is 'without precedent. Emanating, as this does, from Masonic brethren, we will suppose that their intentions were good only. The thought is ideal, very bold, but nevertheless impracticable. It will n1eet with much opposition, or at least will find no encouragement, and might even lead to the erection of a sort of modern tower of Babel. The execution would create an enormous po\ver. We are not llOW going into an analyzatioll of the significance of this Uni.. vGl'sal Grand Lodge, because it does not exist as yet, but simply ask, where shall it have its seat, and who shall preside over this universal empire? lIo,v shall the necessary strict obedience of the fungle National Grand Lodges 1>e regUlated and secured? Ho,v shall this imnlense power, ,vhich at pleasure may bring its influence to bear on all iIllportant interests of the human race, be limited and guarded against it possible alliance with political power and parties, or their justifiable jealousy, or against the changing current of the spirit of the times? How shall the existing great Inequality bet\veen the Grand Lodges of America and Europe, entitled to a vote, and \vhich of itself would give the former a superiority, be adjusted? We migb.t propound many more similar questIons, but these nlay suffice to justify our serious doubts. We therefore do not enter any further into a discussion 011 the possible utilIty of the project, or of single points, the more so as we believe that we are .justified in expressing the decided opinion that the eXecution of the \vholc 11roject ,vilI !lot onI:r not further, but it may even lessen, the strict unity and concentration of Masonry, its practice, its labor for all that is good, beautiful, and true. These are now under the guidance of single Grand Lodges, which are generally connected ,vith each other. Better it is, at all eve~lts7 to hold on to the good we already possess, than to chase a ph9Jlto~, the possession of which cannot be attained Without endangering the freedQn1 and h1dependence of the single Grand Lodges, or per-

haps sacrificing them to this centralizing idea. In giving this judgment, we particularly bear in mind our own Lodge Union, and are firmly persuaded that all our brethren will agree with us when we say that there is no reason why our Lodge Union should discard the autonomy of our union, and the admirably constructed fundamental statutes adopted in the year 1811, and carefully amended from time to time, and favor a concentration of Masonry, in itself unnecessary, difficult to form, and still Dlore difficult to execute. "The formation of Masonry on the face of the globe, through its nlembers and Lodges, into one ideal great Lodge; the continually increasing mutual relations and representation of Grand Lodges on both sides of the ocean; the still everywhere existing pledge of brotherhood; the agreement on Masonic principles; and also on the signs, grips, and words, appear altogether sufficient to secure the solidarity of Masonry and Freemasons of single countries and nations, as well as of the whole world, and in Lessing's excellent words, 'to give expression to the feeling of sympathizing spirits, and also to protect ~Iasonry from external forms and C011nections, which easily degenerate into civil ordinances.' "After due consideration of the manifesto and fundamental laws, we have arrived at the conclusion, l that inasmuch as we may consider the general situation of Masonry as being, morally, fully justified in itself, and everywhere as a brotherhood more or less secret, we do not expect that these fundalnentallaws and a hurried progress will remove all that is defective in it as a work made hy human hands. Without any desire on our !)art to question the well-intentioned tendencies of the same, we~ deem them neither useful, necessary, nor practicable; nor do they hold out any greater advantages to the Lodge Union of Saxony than it now tllready possesses ill its present Constitution, and in the whole of its present arrltngement.' 'Ve therefore have no hesitation in urgentlya<lvisin~ the Grand Lodge and the Lodges of Saxony not to enter upon the proposed project, but ~o reject the same, and to inform the V,rein deut8cher Freinmaurer of the conclusion arrived at in proper manner.

We cannot close this part of our report without expressing our satisfaction that our representative near the Grand Lodge of Saxony, R. W. Bro. Von Mensch, has received the merited distinction, from the Lodge of which 11e is a member, of being elected Senior Master, an honor peculiar to German Masonry. M. W. Bro. Warnatz, who was present on the occasion, complimented the brother very highly, justly attributing to his fidelit:Y' and untiring zeal the intimate and amiable relations that have uninterruptedly existed for the last twenty-four ycars between the Grand Lodges of Saxony and New York, and other Gl路and Bodies in the United States. We feel gratified that the merits of our venerable and zealous brother do not remain without recognition, and hope he will live many years to wear the honor so worthily bestowed. GRAND

LODGE ZU DEN DREI 1VELTKUGELN GLOBES), AT BERLIN, PRUSSIA.

(T}IREE

The printed Protocols of this Grand Lodge, dating from Febru.. ary 20 to Decen1ber, 1868, are before us.

R. W. Bro. Petersson, our representative, presented a con.. densed report from our Transactions for 1867.

The Grand Lodge has entered into more intimate relations, by the exchange of representatives, with the Grand Orient of Lusitania, at Lisbon (Portugal), the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, the Grand Orient Dos Benedictinos, at Rio Janeiro, and the Grand IJodge of Italy, at Florence. At the session of September 8th, the Grand Master reported upon the convention of Grand Masters of Germany, held at Berlin, May Slst, the particulars of which will be alluded to under the head of HGermany," in another part of our report. The Grand Lodge as.. sented to the propositions froIn I. to IV., inclusive; action on V. and VI. was postponed. The Lodge 1J.finerva, at Potsdam, affiliated with the Grand Lodge of Germany" at Berlin, celebrated her Oentenary Anniversary on the 13th of May, in the presence of the King, the Crown Prince of Prussia, the Grand Master, and a large number of breth.. ren from far and near. The Grand Master cautions the Dodges against the admission of strange visitors, as there were many impostors who had gained. admittance to the Lodges. 1-Ie impressed them with the necessity of & strict examination of these visitors, and stated that societies 0iX-

isted in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Italy, which, to some extent, had a slight similarity to Freemasonry in some external, immaterial form, but otherwise had nothing in COlumon with it. As a matter of course, the Grand Lodges '\vould not recognize as Freemasons societies like the Odd Fellows, Forresters, etc. J\.Iore caution should be exercised in the admission of foreign brethren, as of late certificates had been presented from Lodges which, upon inquiry, were found to be clandestine. The Grand Lodge instructed the daughter Lodges to acknowledge diploluas only that were certified to by Grand Lodges.

The Grand Lodge adopted the following schedule for the contributions of the Lodges to the Grand Lodge treasury: Lodges with 50 members, pay 8 thalers; 75 mell1bers, pay 10 thalers; 100 members, pay It thalers; 150 members, pay 20 thalers; 200 members, pay 25 thalers; 250 members, pay 30 thalers; 300 members, pay 35 thalers; 350 members, pay 40 thalers; 450 members, pay 50 thalers; 500 members, pay 55 thalers; 550 ITlembers, pay 60 thalers. 011 the 23d November, 1867, the Grand Lodge celebrated the seventieth anniversary of the adoption of her Constitution; the fundamental principles of "w'hich still fornl the basis for her present laws. At the session of December 5, 1867, the Granu Master Blade a full report on the German Masonic Lodges in the United States, which he closed with the following remarks: " According to information in our possession, the German Lodges of the United States are not only increasing in numbers, but, what is more pleasing, also in intellectual qualifications. It is stated, th&t their heretofore dull, meaningless existence is everywhere replaced by a clear consciousness, and a fuller knowledge of lVlasonie duties 8:nd questions," etc.

His opinion of the German element in this country is evidently not very exalted. We venture to say, however, that the mental qualifications of our German brethren in American will bear favorable comparison with those of our brethren in Germany, or elsewhere. The informatien on which our M. W. brother, of Berlin, bases his judgment must have been obtained from a jaundiced source. The Grand Lodge celebrated St. John's Day, it being also the One Hundred and twenty-eighth Anniversary of her existence. In the absence of all the Grand Officers, except the Jnnior Grand Warden, Bro. Bornemann, of the Directory of the three PrUSSi&ll Grand Lodges, presided.

From the address delivered by him on the occasion, we quote the following: "One thing will abide with us, and will remain ul1changed throughout all time, unshaken by the storms of the ,vorld, untouched by change of form-the sublime Idea oj .JIasonry! If she may have been in former times or may be novv momentarily obsoured by dark clouds, her light continues to shine unchanged. Like the sun, she breaks victoriously through the enveloping veil of clouds, and continues to enlighten the mind and ,varm the hearts of those who zealously seek her. If the Masons of to-day pursue different roads in search of the true and eternalligh t, they A.LL will come near to it, so far as that is perlnitted to mortal man on earth, if they only keep constal1tly in view the true polar star, that thro\vs light on the precipices and cliffs so that they may be avoided. "For although the essence 路of matter, and it encompasses the greatest spiritnal blessings of lifo, nlanifests itself to our mortal eye under CQver of a certain form, yet this forlu is essence itself, even if it is changed by time, or forms itself differently ill the views of individuals. As the Iigh t of the sun shining througll a prism reflects seven distinct colors, and stilll"emains the pure sunlight, so may the light of lYlasol1ry assume various shapes, according to the conception of the tiInes and the various systems. None of these forms can clain1- that it alone is the autllorized and enduring one, and no l\;fason may look down upon his brethren because they deem their system, differing fronl bis own, orthodox.

"The loud calls for refornl in Masonry that have manifested themselves of late cannot be called unjustifiable. But they will become such, if attempts are made to touch not merely the external shell, but also the true, inner substance of Masonry. It will beconle such, if it makes demands vvhich will drag the beauty and dignity of the noblest of all arts down to a level witll the common; if it attempts to divide the sublhne doctrines of our art, of its inner sub.. stance, the peculiar and intimately connected venerable symbols &11cl forU1S. Let us oppose such attempts, DIy dear brethren, as we bave lleretofore done, with courage and firmness. Do not let us l,)hut our eyes against th.at whicll we must acknowledge as good and beneficial to ~!asonry. Do not let us hold fast with obstinate contrariety to blsignificant peculiarities that have nothing to do with the spirit of Masonry, and which, as the offspring of the times~ may die ,vith time.. But do l10t let us permit the glorious edifice which our ancestors have erected with so much self-sacrifice for the $ublime objects of our Order, and With all th,w mental POW~$, and wbi(}h they have transmitted to us, with the sacred injunction to p:reserve in all its dignity, to be shaken, or perhaps altogether de-

stroyed! Do not let us permit our Temple to be robbed of its jevvela; the splendor of the three columns, Wisdom, Strength and Beauty, to be dimmed, and the Temple itself to sink to the level of a common assembly room! " etc. A proposition to change the right of voting in Grand Lodge by the daughter Lodges was rejected by a vote of sixty-five to eighteen. .A.n amendment to give the J.\lasters and Deputy Masters of Lodges when representing them in Grand Lodge a vote, even if they are not further advanced than the third degree, was rejected by forty-five to thirty-three votes. The motion to amend Sections 165 and 197, so as to permit the initiation and affiliation of non-Christians, "ras rejected by fifty... four to twenty. Not one of the thirty-seven propositions for amendment ,vas adopted; many of them are of much interest to the Fraternity outside of Prussia, as they show a state of affairs in than-- country entirely foreign to Masonry outside of it; and much as we desire to give, at least the pith of them, yet we are admonished that we have, perhaps, already occupied more space than we should have done with this subject. The Grand Lodge may for some time ~ta ve off a change ill her laws, and the relations she occupies to her daughter Lodges, in which she may be aided by the peculiar position Masonry occupies toward the Prussian Government. There can be no question that the change will eventually come. The kno.:-king at the outer door becomes louder day by day. The Grand Lodge has 106 daughter Lodges, with 11,950 members under her jurisdiction; she also has 681 honorary members on her rolls. '1'he condition of the Lodges is reported as prosperous. During 1867 the Grand Lodge expended 5,516 thalers in charities, and the Grand Almoner disbursed 2,055 thalers to 138 persons. From the Augu8tenstijtung, 1,003 thalers were distributed to 94 widows and orphans of deceased brethren. Full statistical reports of the condition of the daughter Lodges accompany the Protocols we have received.

GRAND LODGE OF PRUSSIA, ROYAL YORl{ ZUR FREUNDSOHAFT, AT BERLIN.

The Protocols transmitted to us by the above Grand Lodge are dated February 2, March 2, May 16, June 8 and 24, and Deoember 7: 1868.

The Grand Lodge declined to enter Into friendly relatIons with the Supreme CO'flseil, at New Orleans, but agreed to exchange representatives with the Grand Lodges of Portugal, and the Grand Orient of Italy, at Florence. The Grand Lodge of Illinois transmitted her Transactions for 1867, and in future the Protocols are to be forwarded to it in retur11. Grand Master Schnackenburg, ,vho delivered an address before the Grand Lodge on St. John's Day, alludes to the Convention of Grand Masters of Germany, 11eld at Berlin on the Slstof May, of which he says that it was a representation of a united Germany on the territory of Masonry. He also alluded to the annexation of the Hanoverian Lodges. "These two facts," he renlarks, "Inay be justly considered to be of the highest importance." * * * "But they also arouse thoughts and feelings in us that can not fail to be highly conducive to the natural development of Masonry ill our fatherland, and for our Masonic life in the closer circle. TIle unanimous determination of all the Grand Masters of Germany assembled on that day to adhere firmly to the spirit and regUlations of ancient Masonry as handed down to us, will strengthen and enable us to oppose successfully the sickly modern theories of leveling and nihilism. It will confirm us in the principle ever recognized by us, that the only true progress in Masonry is to be sought in the development and advancement of true, open, and honest brotherly love, and ill unshaken fidelity and truthfulness, based upon sound religion. To this standard may flock all members of our Union; and in whatever Lodge on the face of the globe it may be unfurled, we send to the brethren hearty and deep felt greetings on this St. JO]ln's Day." The Grand Orator, Bro. Wieprecht, followed with an address, in which he alludes to the colored Masons of America, and discovers, in the final admission of colored brethren to lawful Lodges in

America, the absorbing question of the day. The speaker expressed the joyful hope that this important question will also be deCided in the spirit of Masonry, that is to say, in a spirit of true toleraticn and equality for all, and rejoices that the initiative steps in this matter were taken by German brethren. 路 It is refreshing to meet with sentiments so fine and overfiowJllg with the milk of human kindness, as expressed by Bro. Wiepreqht, &nd, as :Masons, we fully elldorse them. The position take~ by him and others in Germany, in regard to the so-called oolored Masons of the United States, rests upon false premises. The colored Loclges in the United States are clandestine, and have no

That the negro Lodges of this country have no lawful origin, has been fully proven to the satisfaction of every unprejudiced mind. It is unnecessary to,go over the ground again and again, merely for the purpose of proving the felaehood of an unsupported assertion of those who choose to be wiltuliy blind. And as to the initiation of negroes in our Lod~, we ~ve ;repeatedly explained that the members of the Lo4~ ane tbe'Sole judges of whom they will receive or reject.

l{OTHER GRAND LODGE OF THE ECLECTIC UNION, FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAIN.

Our direct intercourse with this Grand Lodge has been interrupted for some time past. We are pleased that the appointment of llew representatives has paved the way for a more lIvely intercourse, and the regular exchange of the printed Transactions. We now acknowledge the receipt of the Protocols of the Grand Lodge, Nos. 38 to 45 inclusive, extending from May 31st, 1867, to August 28th, 1868. Tho June sessions of each year, were devoted to the celebration of St. John's Day, on which occasion addresses were delivered by the Grand Master, the Grand Orator, and others. The Supreme Oouncil of Louisiana, addressed a circular letter to the Grand Lodge, of the same tenor as that sent to other European Grand Lodges, a specimen of which may be found in our last year's report under the head of '\Hamburg," expressing a wish to enter into f.riendly relations by the appointment of lnutual representatives. '1'he Grand Lodge did not, however, respond to the invitation as desired, but confined itself for the present to the exchange of the printed Protocols. With the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, however, it has established more intimate relations by an exchange of representatives. At the seasion of December 6th, 1867, Bro. Herman Hoster was un&uimotlsly pleated Grand Master for the term 1867-69.

Bro. Hohagen, our newly appointed representative, was introduced to the Grand Lodge at the session of August 28th, and received by the Grand Master, who expressed the hope that the brother would endeavor to restore the direct communication between the two Grand Lodges, which had been interrupted, and this restoration of friendly intercourse would result beneficially to both bodies. The manifesto and fundamental law8 of the Verein Deutaher }l'reimaurer, of which the Grand Lodge had received a copy,

were

referred to a Committee of three.. The Grand Lodge resolved to enter into correspondence and exchange their printed protocols with the Grand Lodges of Kentucky and Illinois.

. The daughter Lodges under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge seem to be in a healthy and prosperous condition.

GRAND I.JODGE ZUR SONNE, AT BAIREUTH,

This Grand Lodge met at Stuttgart on the 11th of October, 1868, for the purpose of forming a new Constitution and to change their ritual. The former was adopted, but a change of ritual was declined. It was resolved, llowever, that every Lodge has the right to adopt any ritual best suited to its wants, provided it is approved by the Council of tIle Lodge as being Masonic. The new Constitution adopted by the Grand Lodge places it side by side with the more liberal and enlightened Grand Lodges of Germany; and it affords us pleasure to quote a few of its more promipent points, altllough there are others contained therein ,vhich American Masons would deem peculiar. Thus, a particular religious confession of the candidate is no longer necessary, according to Article III., which reads: "Freemasons adore God from whom moral life emanates, and to whom it always leads.. " H The Union requires no confession of a peculiar religious faith frOln its members."

" ART. IV.-The Union accepts free men, of good reDute, without reference to religion or a confession of faith, or to nationalit:~:r, politics, or standing in society, who in brotherly love unite in the effort for moral improvement. TIle Union indorses the moral principle of freedom of conscience, of religious belief, and of mind. It rejects every compulsion that endangers this freedom, and every persecution which may be practised against those who dissent in religions belief and thought. HART. XII.-The Union and its history, its principles and aims, are no secret. The Masonic secrecy to which the brethren are bound is for mutual recognition only; for the protection of confidentially expressed opinions within the Lodge, and for the moral influence exercised by the Lodge.

"SEa.. 11. The Grand Lodge has power to try the CounCil, the Grand Officers and the Grand Master on charges preferred; when the latter is tried, the officer next i!l rank presides. " SEC. 12. A motion to dismiss the Grand Master can only be made by the Oouncilof the Grand Lodge, or by at least three Lodges. If, on a vote, a majority of white balls does not appear for the Grand Master, his office becomes vacant, and a new election takes place. ~'SEQ. 16. A resolution, to have binding force, must be approved by the Grand Master. He may withhold his ltpprovaI, but

[Oct. in that case must again submit the resolution to the next assembly of the Grand L8dge: If re-aoopteci by the Grand Lodger it thereby a.oquires binding force. " SEQ. 21.

In regard to this, the points contained in Appendix marked 11., hereto annexed, should be taken into consideration. Nineteen Lodges responded to the brotherly invitation, and met in conference on the 19th of October; and it was unanimously re-

solved to treat with the Grand Lodge Royal York for affiliation; and if the negotiations should prove successful, it was resolved to form a Provincial Grand Lodge. Bros. Menge, Kistner and Noldeke were intrusted with the negotiations, receiving for instruction the points alluded.to in Appendix II. From a report of Bros. Menge and Noldeke, communicated to the brethren, it is known that the M. W. Grand Lodge Royal York has complied with their wishes in regard to point 1, and consented that the Hanoverian Lodges should retain the ritual used by them. In regard to point 5, the Grand Lodge Royal York. also consents that, until the revision of the Constitution, in 1872, Fellow Crafts and Entered Apprentices should retain their right of voting at the election of a Master of a Lodge~ All other points were refused, a~ being contrary to the interest of the older daughter Lodges, or against existing covenants. The brethren intrusted with this negotiation did not deem their duties closed with this decision, but again called on the brethren to meet at Hanover on the 14th of December, 1867. [Appelldix Ill.] The .Hanoverian Lodges were compelled either to dissolve or affiliate with one of the three Berlin Grand Lodges, and under these circumstantes had to submit to terms dictated to them, and relinquish all points without which they pronounced an affiliation an impossibility. Will the Grand Lodge Royal York be benefitted by this affiliation? Agitation on account of section 194 will follow, as predicted in the letter of the Lodges.

GRAND LODGE, ALPINA, SWITZERLAND.

The Thirteenth Annual Report of this Grand Lodge embraoes the years 1866 and 1867. .. The report speaks of the manifesto issued by the Verein deutscher Freimaurer, etc., and states that if at first the Verein did run counter to the ideas of a majority of the brethren by pursuing too radical a course, yet of late greater confidence was manifested toward it, on account of the more moderate course pursued by it at Eisenach and Worms. An idea had been instigated by it which already had been commented upon as timely in the Prow-

cola of the Grand Lodge ill 1861, and, as such, had been earnestly disoussed. It is undeniable that Masonry, as a unit, is not suffiaiently guarded on all sides. As countries are no,v brought ill close proximity to each other, and international intercourse ,vas con.tinually increasing, something should and ll1USt be done in regard to it.

On account of political disturbances, and other troubles, the L<>dge at Leistal suspended its labors. Four new Lodges had been added to the daughters of the Grand Lodge. "Canton Wallis," the report states, "is a territory Masonically

not so well cultivated as it ougllt to be; yet the nUlllber of active and non-affiliated Masolls was pretty large and increasing. Never-

theless, Freemasonry, in that canton, ,vas in a kind of torpor. It is like a :fire slumbering under ashes, which awaits an opportunity to break out, and should be fanned. Efforts had been lllade to form a new Lodge, but,oIl consultation among the brethren, and. a.dvising with the Grand Officers, the project ,vas finally aban<lo:m,ed. The reason ,vas, the breaking out of the old sYlnptoms ill favor of the Jesuits, and the ultramontane tendencies whioh were again manifesting thenlselves in all their strength for the purpo~e of impeding Masonry."

This deadly enenlY of Masonry nlust also be very active in other d.istricts of SWitzerland, as appears frolll the Protocol, which states th&t: urrhe Lodges of Zurich, BerIl, and Aarau, have entered into au agreement to notify eacll other of the reception of l)etitions froln eandidates for initiation, and await the return of the report before t~king action upon it, so that no wolf in sheep's clothes may gain ~dmission in the circle of the brethren in the cRntoIl Luzerne. Because the more dangerous their position in the heart of a country s() thoroughly in possession of the deadly enemy, the ultralllontane elergy, as is that district, the more careful should they be to enroll none but well-known individuals in the ranks of the Fraterl1ity. Existing circumstances make this caution necessary, as the position. of the brethren of Luzerne, in the nlidst of ~. .n ultra Catholic people, is a very peculiar one."

210

Appendix.

[Oct.

" whether the Grand Lodge had power to grant charters to Lodges outside of Switzerland." The Constitution of the Grand Lodge is based upon the supposition that the Swiss Lodge Union is composed of Lodges in S'Yitzerland only. The question arose upon the petition of Swiss Masons, residents of Alexandria, Egypt, for a charter. The Grand Lodge decided that the granting of charters for Lodges outside of Switzerland was against the provisions of the Constitution. . ~

Yet with this clause in her Constitution, the (Jrand Lodge of Switzerland denies the right of jurisdiction to Grand Lodges. 1'he new ritual, prepared by Grand Master Gelpke, was acknowledged to possess great merit. No definite action, however, was taken on it, as it was desired that the Lodges should have an.. other year in which to examine its practicability. Bro. Ruegg, of Aarau, was elected Grand Master for six years. The seat of the Grand Lodge changes witll the place of residence of the Grand Master 1 and it will therefore be at Aarau for the next six years. The Grand Lodge met at Aarau 011 the 4th of October, 1868, for the purpose of installing its newly elected Grand Master, and also to elect the balance of the Grand Officers and Inembers of the Ad.. ministrative Council. 'ÂŁ11e session was opened with an aduress uy the retiring Grand Bro. Gelpke, who, at the close, deposited the insignia of his office on the altar. According to the Swiss ritual, the Senior and .Junior Grand Wardens then proceeded to invest the Grand Master elect with the jewel of- his office~.. After taking the obligation, he addref?sed the Grand Lodge and dwelt on the great merits of his immediate predeoessor. The Constitution provides that thf? newly installed Grand Master shall propose three names for each office to be filled. One of those named is then elected by the Grand Lodge. The first of the three named was, in every instance, unanimously elected. ~{aster,

The Grand Lodge has now twenty-eight daughter Lodges, with a membership of 1,713 under her jurisdiction.

One of the most noteworthy Masonic events that has transpired in Germany during the year 1868, was the meeting held by the Grand Masters of Germany, at Berlin, on the 31st of May. The in~

vitation for that meeting emanated from the Grand Master of Saxony, M. W. Bro. Warnatz. The intention to become personally acquainted with eacl'l other, and to exchange in a brotherly manner their experience and views on the present situation of Masonry in Germany, was the problem for solution. No official character, however, is clailned for this convention, as it was not authorized by any of the Grand Lodges of Germany. The Grand Orient of Belgium has revised tIle Constitution adopted in 1838. The clause which made the office of Grand Master a tenure for life has been repealed; also the section requiring the candidate to possess a liberal education, which has been changed to "necessary education." The Catholic clergy of Europe IJersist in their crusade against Masonry. Their organs in Spain charge the dethronement of the Queen to the Freemasons. But their machinations will be of 110 avail to them. Wherever constitutional government has superceded the one man powar, the people have become enlightened, and Masonry finds a genial soil. It has been so in Italy, it will be so in Spain and Austria. The establishment of Lodges in both of the two latter is ill contemplation, and we shall be rejoiced to hear the sound of the gavel in their East. We hope, however, whenever such is the case, that our brethren will not lose sight of the cosmopolitan character of our Institution, a11d will steer clear of all religious and political questions and entanglements.

GRAND LODGE OF TIlE N:FJ'l'IiERLANDS.

This Grand Lodge held a session 011 the 7th of June" 1868, at Ha,gue. There were present ]3 Grand Officers and 93 Deputies, r.presenting 38 Lodges. Aocording to the Lodge list prepared for the year begining April 1st, 1867, and ending March 31st, 1868, there were contributing Lodge members at the first mentioned time, 1,908, against 1,942 at the latter period, of which 1,258 were Master Masons,J 171 Fellow Crafts, and 513 Entered Apprentices. The relations of the Grand Lodge with foreign Grand Lodges to be of the most friendly nature. Propositions had been received for the appointment of mutual representatives from the Qr&nd Lodges of Italy, Louisiana, San Domingo, and EA"ypt.

CONCLUSION. In concluding this report, we wish to draw the attention of our Grand Lodge, as well as of our Brother Foreign Correspo~dent~,to some few important facts which we deem worthy of consIderatIon. In perusing over ten thousand pages of printed matter for your information, we have noticed the following points: ]fTirst-More Masons are initiated than raised. JS1~wond-More Masons

dimit than affiliate. Third-Very few published proceedings give the number of Lodges" l"epresented" at the proper place, viz: at the foot of the column of Representatives.

Fourth-Very few Grand Masters give the number of "Dispensations" for new Lodges that they isssue, and merely give the names and dates. Fifth-In some Grand Lodges the important committees, such as Grievance, Appeals, By-Laws, Lodges, etc., will make many snpplenlental reports, instead of combining all the matter in one report for eaoh committee. Relative to our ji'tst item, we will say that we believe" more l)ersons are initiated than raised" arises from a radical defect in modern Masonry, viz: that it does not take the world as it finds it. This is a speculative age, and many men apply for our 111ysteries either through curiosity or from the hope of worldly gain. The first class are often disappointed, because the first degree is bunglingly done, aIld the officers show so little soul in their work that the candidate raJiionally becomes so dissatisfied that he never goes any farther. What should have been "Light" to him is nothmg but a, miserable "darkness; " when" brought to light," he probably found the officers sitting with their feet on the pedestal spitting tobacco juice into a spittoon three yards off, and the Worshipful Master, when he came to deliver his lecture, instead of standing up, with the dignity and perfectness of manhood, sitting down, poised on the back of his neck, and mumbling out inooherently what he did not properly understand or appreciate himself. III looking over the list of Entered Apprentices who have remained such for years, we find the great bulk of them are very intelligent mell, alld naturally came to the oonclusion that if the Entered Ap}Jrentice degree was a sample of the balance, that they h~d enough of it; that is, the degree in the shape in which it is too often conferred. When 'Vorshipful Masters will properly learn their work ~o

1869.J

213

and duties, as we have already expressed it in our remarks under the head of TEXAS, luuch of this difficulty will be avoided.

The second class, viz: Those ,vho join from Inercenary motives, and can" see 110 speculation in the eye" of Masonry, after initiation, they can be cured by a dose of Missouri ointment, such as was first introduced by us in Missouri Lodge, No.1, SODle years ago, viz: Make the fee for the Entered Apprentice degree a little over half the aggregate for the ,vhole three, thus the speculative candidate having that nluch cash invested in his speculation, wilillot let it be lost, ,vhel1, by a little ulore, he can get the benefits of a Master Mason, and, })erha!)s, if the other two degrees are properly conferred, he nlay be Inade ashanlecl of his cupidity and start out, for the first tilne, ,vith au honest anc1 ullselfish l)urpose of life. Try it; it will do no harnl. Relative to our second cOlnplaint, we arrive at

t~vo

c0J?,c!usions,

vi7.f: That many 8tates include in their reports those who dimit to form new Lodges, and, in the returns, are l10t included as affiliates, t\S in our own State, and we, therefore, make due allowance for such States; but that class being few, as Ill0St Grand Lodges do not demand dinlits '\vith petitions for dispensations for new

Lodges, ,ve take SUCll States, where the dimit is a bona fide withdrawal from the Lodge. In examining the Constitutions and ByLaws of such Grand I.lodges we fiud but few restrictions on dimits; a.ny ou,e can get it, by the Dlere asking, while in Missouri each one must declare that he intends to join another Lodge, or help to form a rrew Lodge, or intends renl0villg from the jurisdiction. Our third cOluplaint touches the delinquencies of Grand Secretades in not giving, at the close of representatives, the number of I;odges represented, expecting foreign correspondents to do this work for them, just as if these oorrespondents had nothing els~ to do but write reports and do other peoples' work for nothing. We look upon the item of representatives as a very important one; it is the expression of life in the face of a Grand Lodge. Our fourth complaint refers to the delinquencie-s of Grand Mas-

oors who never wrote reports on correspOndel1:Ce, and take it foo: ~anted that they do the craft great honor by simply talking to them, and not caring a straw for statistics. They too often 1001t upon their address as the only one whiql1 goes to the world, like Sloma people who write to a public office, under the supposition that theirs is the ollly letter sent, and that they Deed furnish 110 data to go by. OU~ fi.:tibh complaint is of committeessendil1g in & dozen rep'~rts dttring the session, each ~ith a long preamble and half page of sig-

natures, when the whole thing could be boiled down in one report and thus foreign correspondents could get at the gist of the matte~ in one-tenth the time. Having thus had our say, and proposed certain reforms, which suggestions are valuable in a Republic of Grand Lodges like this of ours, we close by saving that, throughout all these reports, we find universal harmony prevails. The blatherskites who have assembled ill Pittsburg and Chicago, and tried to raise a storm against our beloved and ancient institution, have at last subsided into the miserable contenlpt they deserve. After looking over the list, we find lTIany of thenl to have been Army Chaplains who picked the pockets of the dead on the battle field, and furnished their homeR with the plunder stolen froln Widows and Orphans. Like a set of harpies that they are, they would vote against admitting into their membership, Judas Iscariot r because he did not sell Jesus Christ for more than thirty pieces of silver; their price would have bankrupted the Court of Rome! We have met many of tlhem during the la~t few years, !\nd only last summer, we came across one on the deck of a Sound Steamer, clothed in black ~cloth and a white choker, who told us over his stale hash of Anti-Masonry, and when a passenger made complaint that his baggage had been stolen, "ve ,vere not at all surprised to find that our reverend friend (?) was the last one seellllear the state room door of said passenger, and that he got off at the last tOWll where the boat stopped. These charlatans alwa:y's seek the easiest class of lleople to swindle, consequently they went into the ministry, because in that field they could best work on the tender consciences of nlel1, women &nd children, and get the largest proceeds on the rascality invested. That harvest having nearly been gathered with the sickles of bom.. ba.stic patriotism, they turned in the mowing machines of Anti.. Masonry, but finding more rocks and stumps than theyanticipated r they have about bursted up their hybrid factory, viz., Oberlin Oollege, and are now calling for aid to lift the debt on that concern. The best way we can suggest for them, is to get the Devil to tarke thQ. first I.Q,ortgage and give their souls as security, ,,"e will guarantee his Satanic Majesty that the security will be forthcoming on call. It is a glorious thing to know that God Almighty in his wisdom and knowledge, judges men by what is inside of them, instead of their words and clothing, therefore, these miserable thieves, seducers and slanderers, are every now and then caught up by the arm of the civil law and punished.

~r. 'V. SIlt AXD l~l~O'l'IIBR-As D. Deputy Granel l\Iaster of the Second I)istrict I herewith snbnlit Iny report for the !)ast year.

I regret to say, o,ving to the In'esB of business and fronl otller causes, I have been unable to visit all the Lodges in this District. On the 21st d~\y of 1Iay I called a convention to be held at Sllelbina. I ,vas unable to go myself; 'V. Bro. W. C. Fornlan attended and exemplified the work. Representatives from Shelbyville, Clarence, and other IJodges, ,vel~e present.

The District Lecturer inforll1ed Inc that the Brethren "'ere bar.. rnonious in that part af the District. On the 25th and 26th of May, Bro. I t'orrllan instructed the breth.. ren at Clarence in the work. I ha,"e devoted D1Y tinle to the care of the Craft more especially in this city. There has been some trouble here amol1g tho brethren duril1g the past year, principally eaused by intemperance, of

which vice I am sorry to say there is entirely too much,·and in fact so much of it that I have trembled for our beloved order, fearing that she would fall by this weight of sin. I ha v~ been compelled to arrest some of the brethren in this city for offences com:mitted against the principles of our order, during the past year. Most of the cases I have reported to you heretofore, but I must "gain call your attention to Lodges who permit men who disgrace the name of Mason to renlain within their sacred precincts unrebuked and untouched, until they finally die on their hands, then they are ashamed to own them nc; Masons, and, not with proper respect for themselves or their Lodges, give them the right of Masonic burial.

This Qught not to be so, and I hope that the 1110ral health of our order will continue to improve, as I aln happy to say that I think the order in this place is more healthy than it was a year ago. According to your order I attended St. .John's Lodge, No. 28, for the purpose of presiding at a trial of certain brethren under grave charges. I found that out of a 111enlbership of about 150 there was not much more than a quorum present, I therefore or.. dered the Lodge to commence again, and to Sluumons all resident members to be present. The result of that trial you have been made acquainted with by the Secretary of the Lodge. According to your order of the 31st of August, Icon vened the Grand Lodge of Missouri on September 3d, for the purpofSe of laying the corner stone of the ~I. E. Church of this city, with the fol.. lowing officers: John Ure as Grand Master. W. C. Forman as Deputy Grand Master. J. G. Foss as Senior Grand Warden. VV.. B. Dresher as Junior Granel Warden. John Yolk as Grand Treasurer. F. H. Tibbits as Grand Secretary_ S. H. Anderson as Grand Chaplain. G. H. Crowyn as Senior Grand Deacon. John H. Hall as Junior Grand Deacon. A. J. Bean as Senior Grand Steward. A. J. Cunningham as Junior Grand Steward. Oscar PindeI as Grand Tyler. rÂŁhe Grand Lodge opened at 2:30 P. M. 'fhe corner stone haVing been prepared according to law, we repaired to the site of the church, escorted by the Lodges of this city, "\vith Excelibar Commandery Knights TempIar as a guard of honor. After the stone was properly laid, W. Bro. W. C. Forman delivered an a.ddress. The Grand Lodge then returned to Masonic Hall, and closed in form, peace and harmony prevailing. In regard to the work in the District, I think the brethren are trying to conform to the work of the Grand Lodge.

DEAR SIR AND BRO'l'IIER-! here submit my annual report as D. Grand Master of the Third Masonic District, for the current Masonic year. Absence from home, and my private matters, haye delayed my report beyond the time appointed by law.

Lick Creek Lodge, No. 302, having received a charter, I visited this Lodge and installed the officers, on the 18th day of N ovenlber. This Lodge is in a prosperous condition; the officers and Inembers appear to be disposed to discharge their IVlasonic duties faithfully.

Florida Lodge, No. 23.-1 was at Florida last November? for the purpose of visi ting the Lodge officially, and notified the Secretary; but, for some cause, if the Lodge met, ! was not informed. The Secretary furnished Ine the records, which I exanlined and found correct in the main. 1 addressed a letter, in the spirit of Masonry, to the Lodge, in which I pointed out some irregularities; one of which was, that the Lodge, on the 20th of April, 1867, pernlitted a petition to be withdrawn, contrary to the third section of tIle by-Ia"W's. The meetings of the Lodge have been irregular; sonleti~es months have passed without opening the Lodge, without allY cause being asslgned for such failure to nleet. New London Lodge, U. D., baving received a dispensation, I visited the m@mbers in October, and set it to work; found the offioersand members tolerably well qu&lified, and desirous to discharge their Masonic duties. ThE> Lodge occupies a large' and secure room in the Academy. I have frequently met in this Lodge, and cheerfully recommend the granting of & charter.

:Ralls Lodge, No. 33.-Being a member of this Lodge, I have met with the brothers several times during the year and witnessed the 'Work. I found the records in fair condition, and the Lodge prosperous, until recently, a difficulty has occurred between some of th,e members, but the Lodge has promptly appointed a commit.. tee: to endeavor to settle the matter. Their report is not due until the :next nteeti:ng. Otherwise, the Lodge is working ereditabl:r.

Perseverance Lodge, No. 92, had a public demonstration and dinner, etc., on the 23d of February, to whieh I was invited, but was unable to attend. I have been informed that Bro.

A portion of the luembers were absent, attending a ~Iasonic funeral, and I declined to call a nleeting, but had the presence of several prolninent nlomoers, examined the record of proceedings, ,vhich I report as being generally well kept and in good condition. rrhe Lodge appears to be probperous and in good ,vorlting order, having a hall nearly CODlploted, 40 by 60 feet, in the third story of a good brick building, the eost of '''hich ,vill be ~6,600,

The Worshipful Master has since notified 111e that the cause has again been set for trial, the result of ,楼hich has not been communicated to nle. 1J.[onroe Lodge, ~to. 64,,-By special invitation, I visited this Lodge and installed the officers for the }:>resent year; being very kindly,received by. the brethren. I examined the records, and report them in good order, made up by Bro. Swift, the model Sec... retary. The Lodge meets in a safe, good hall, and well furnished. I would say much more of this Lodge, but am admonished to be brief ill my report. I appointed two Lodge~ of Instruction during this year, to-wit: 'rhe first at New London, which met at the Masonic Hall, on the 27th day of May, at which time, Bro. W. A. Prall, of St. Louis,

In vic,v of these facts, I ,vould SUggcbt the propriety of vesting the appoilltillg po,ver in the I). I).

I have failed to visit the other Lodges in the district, partly on account of the &tate of 111J" private affairs, but mainly for the reason that there h~s been 11o.District Lecturer, who is the authority to give the work and lectures. It not being my duty or privilege to le9ture, I declined to uooertake that business, intending to confine myself to the duties prescribed for nle by law. In conclusion, permit D1e to Atate that my private affairs are such that will conlpel me to be absent at the next Grand Communioation, where I very much desire to meet my brothers.

CI-IARLES,

Mo., JSepternber 18, 1869.

Bto.. John D. Vincil, hi. TV. Grand Master: I herewith submit Iny report as D. D. Grand l\faster for District No.4, composed of the counties of Rt. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren. In these counties, eleven Lodges are at work, all chartered, to wit: Pauldingville No.11, Auburn No. 14, Troy No. 34, Wentzville No. 46, New Hope No. 199, Douglass No. 54, Dardenne No. 224, Warrenton No. 231, Palestine N~. 241, Mechanicsville No. 260, and New Salem No. 270. The two last named ,vere chartered at the last communication of the Grand Lodge, and were set to work by my authorit~r, the first by Bro. Jno. C. Edwards, Worshipful Mas.. tel" of Dardenne Lodge, in October, 1868, and the la&t by Bro. J. W. Welch, Worshipful Master of New rlope Lodge, in January, 1869. I have, during the year, visited Pauldingville, Wentzville, Deardeli1ne, Warren tOll , and J\-Iechanicsville Lodges, and have, withou.t exception, I believe, attended every regular and called communication of my o\vn Lodge, Palestine No. 241, I have not been able to visit Auburn, Troy, Douglass, New Hope and New Balenl Lodges, nor any of them. This has been much to my regret, but, as you know, the nature of my business is such that, only in very exceptional cases, and those arising from unavoidable necessity, can I be absellt from my place during business bours; hence, I could only 'Visit those Lodges which can be reached by railroad or by half a11 afternoonrs buggy ride. Independent of any personal reason, f think that Illy district is badly oonstructed. In my jUdgment, Lincoln county belongs mOl路C p:roperly to the District next above it, than to this, and, if it be a .sine qua non that two counties be attached to St. Charles, I suggest that St. Charles, Warren, &nd Montgomery be erected into lit District. Or, instead of that arrangement, if it cannot conveniently be made, allow me to suggest that an additional number of Districts be created. This last suggestion seems to me to be proper in view of the fact that the system of Diatricting now in use by the Gr'l1nd Lodge was instituted for the convenience of the Order at large; and I presume that other D. D. Grand Masters Iluve found inconveniences in their Districts as I have in mine. Pauldingville Lodge o,vn their own Lodge, with all the house in which it is situated; and though they are somewhat in debt, they

harve their finances so arranged that they will not probably be inoommoded by reason of the debt. }Ventzville Lodge own the rOOln ill whicll they meet, that is, it \vas built at their expense, and the title is in one of the members, and as '-0011 as certain 11latters in which they are not directly interested can be adjusted, the title to their Lodge room will be oonveyed to theIne You are l)~rSonal1y cognizant of their situation in this particular, and it is not l1ecessary for me to enlarge on it. They arc in debt also, and, ""vhen I visited them, ,vere endeavoring' to arrange their affairs, and I aul. informed by the Worshipful Master that they bave 'Since r-,truck it balance sheet, and find that their assets considerably overrun their liabilities.

Dardenne Lodge, although a young Lodge, have about $200 in cash and invested. They now lueet at Cottleville, ten miles from St. Charles, and about four miles from the N orih lVlissouri Railroad. rrbeyare taking steps to remove to O'Fallon, on the railroad, whioh I think ,vill be an advantage to the Lodge, and will oertainly lnake thelll more accessible to the outside ,vorld. They will probably ask the Grand Lodge to sallctioll their removal, and I strongly recolnlnend that their request be gralltecL

TVarrenton, :JIechanicsville and Palestine Lodges are not ill debt, and all have funds on hand, Warrenton l'laving more than eit~her of the others. I speak of these things because I am satisfied, and bave so told the Lodges, that one of the best ""vays t6 kill a Lodge is to run it heavily in deht. I have inquired particularly of the Lodges on this point and have cauti0v-ed them against beCODl.ing involved in debt, for a Lodge so involved is a Samson shorn of his locks. All the Lodges that I.,have visit路ed have their rOOlns properly guarded from intrusion. The situation of Mechanicsville Lodge is not entirely satisfactory to me, but I do not see that the brethren aan remedy it; and with a little extra precaution they can make themselves as retired as any. I !{no"v of but three cases of discipline in the Lodges under my jurisdiction during the past year; and I believe that peace and harmQ:ny are prevailing among the brethren in my District. The Lodges are judicious in the use of the ballot, and som~ of them I might say are severe ill its application in some instances. On the 2d day of February I ~ommenced a Lodge of Instruction at St. Charles, which continued through several days. At tb-.t Lodge, Douglass, Warrenton, Pauldil1gville, Wentzville, AulK.~, Da.rd&nne, Palestine and Mechainiesvi11e were represen'ted, (:)ach by one or more delegates, some of the brethren m,aklng oon-

In both these Lodges of Instruction we wrought day and night, all laboring '\vith diligence in accolnplish.. ing the purpose of our lueeting. I ,vish here to ackno'\vledge my indebtedness to Bro. John A. Kellar, a lllelllber of Iny own Lodge, for the valuable aid vvhieh he so cheerfully rendered me in these arduous labors. I think I can truthfully say that the brethren who attended these Lodges made an hOllc"t effort to obtain the lvork; and if any of the IJodges inll1.y Di'3trict have failed in this regard, th.e failure has not resulted fl"om a ,vant of disposition to learn the authorized work, but because other luatters intervened and the)1" have not been able to take the necessary tiIne froIn their usual avocations and the delllands of active life.

We have had no Grand Lecturer in this District, the I.Jodges not having selected o'ne. I have visited all the Lodges in Iny District during the year. They are in peace and harmony, not doing as nluch work as formerly, but from-the number of rejections believe they are more particular as to the material worked in the absence of a D. D. Grand Lecturer. I have given such instructions as I was able-socially, but not officially-in the ,vork. I desire to be present with you at the Grand Lodge, but fear I will not be able to meet with you there. Should I not be at the Grand Lodge, I hope the Grand Master elect will appoint some other brother in this District. I have served the Craft for a nunlher of years, to the best of my ability, and hope who ever may receive the appointment may be more cOlupetent and discharge the duties better than I llave done. Hoping you may have a pleasant and harmonious nleeting in the Grand Lodge, I remain, yours, J. B. HENDERSON,

I visited Clifton Hill Lodge, No. 161,011 the 14th th:\iY of Novenlber r and ordered an electioll of officel~s, they having failed to hold an election for several years.

I again visited thiS' Lodge 011 August 19th, examined their min~ utes and work and found~them to be correct. I conferred the Past Master's degree on Bro. .N..

They have an excellent hall and are in a prosperous condition. I examined tl1eir minutes, and found them correct and in good style, and left them in peace and harmon:y'.

Mo., September 10, 1869.

M. W. John D. Vincil, Grand lrfaster: DEAR BROTHER-As required by law, I llerewith submit a report of my stewardship as D. D. Grand Master and District Lecturer for the Eighth Masonic District, embracing the counties of Livingston, Linn and Chariton.

On the 28th day of November, A. L. 5868, I visited Jackson Lodge, No. 82, at Linneus, installed their officers and conferred the third degree. During my sojourn among the brethren of this Lodge, by their large-hearted liberality, a sufficient fund was contributed to carpet and refurnish their hall in splendid style. It was my pleasure to nleet the brethren of this Lodge again, April 2, 1869, at which time I exemplified the work in the second degree. This Lodge own their hall, are out of debt, doing considerable work, and the membership, with one or two exceptions, are men of good moral character. Bro. Sandusky, one of the oldest Masons of the West, is the accomplished Secretary, and has been for the past seventeen years. For nearly forty years in active Masonic service, the old veteran is yet as prompt, zealous and energetic in the discharge of duty as when first he started out in his Masonic career" YO'Q.! visit to this Lodge, February 12, 1869, was highly appreciated by the brethren, and has resulted in much good.

On the 15th day of December, A. L. 5868, ill obedience to the requirements of the Grand Lodge, I convened a Lodge of Instruction in this city. Forty-six representatives were in attendance, representing the following Lodges in my own district, viz: Friendship, Ja,ckson, Cypress, Spring Hill, Benevolence, Westville, Brookfield, King Solomon, Bucklin, and Chillicothe Lodge, U. D., Vinci!, Mirabile, Kingston, Hamilton, Wakanda, Miles Point, Trenton, Jamesport, Victoria, Lindley and Houston Lodges, of other districts, were also represented. During a session of three days, the most gratifying interest and commendable zeal were exhibited. All 'were pleased and profited by the exercises; many strong ties of friendship were formed and renewed, and regretfully the Lodge of Instruction was closed, all feeling of a truth ,t it was good to be there." W. Bro. WIll. A. Prall, of St. Louis, at my earnest solicItation, was present, and deservedly won high enconiums for the patience, assiduity and ability displayed in answering questions, removing objections and teaching the ritual. I would, also, with grateful feelings, Most Worshipful, tender to you, as also to R~ w. John Ure, D. D. Grand Master Second Masonic District, R. W. D. J. Heaston, D. D. Grand Master Tenth Masonic District, and R. W . â&#x20AC;˘J. W. McDonald, D. D. Graud Master Fortieth Masonic District, my heartfelt thanks for your presence and counsel, and desire to assure you your efforts cOlltributed largely to make the convocation what it was-a flattering success. December 26, A. IJ. 5868.-Visited Spring Hill Lodge, No. 155, and exemplified the ,york and leature of the tllird tlegree. September 6, 1869, I again visited this Lodge, and presided at a trial, in vvhich a member was suspended. The records of this .Lodge are well kept; the Lodge is out of debt and own their hall, but doing no work.. Sterling integrity and high-toned mOl'al worth characterize the membership of this Lodge, but I greatly fear the bl18th.. ren have lost much of the energy and zeal that once made this Lodge the pride of the Grand River Valley. December 28, A. L.5878.-Visited Benevolence Lodge, No. 170, &t Utica, illstalled their officers and conferred the third degree.

June 19, A. L. 5869.-1 again Inet the brethren of this Lodge, and With the assistance of Bros. Middleton, Eddy, Browll and Bird, of this city, exemplified the work and lecture of the third degree. They &rt renting ~ secure hall, but entirely too small; out of debt; &bout $80 in the treasury; doing some work and have a harmonious membership.

On the 27th of January, A. L. 5869, met the officers and m~m...

Grand Master Seventh Masonic District, ex.. emplifiecl the "vork and lectures of the three degrees. Despite the swollen streams, and roads that were deeply nluddy, a large l1umb~r of zealous craftsll1ell were present. This Lodge had distribu.ted, from January 9, 1865, to the date of my visit, $853 55 for charitable purposes. What a noble record! They have a well-furnished, spacious h.all, about :five hundred dol.. laps in the treasury; records in good COlldition; peace and harmony prevailing. On the 23d day of February, A. L. 5869, Dlet the officers and members of Brookfield Lodge, No. 86, conferred the degree of Fellow Craft 011 two applicants, and that of Master Mason 011 one.

This Lodge h,as a well-furnished, tabty hall; officers who;tre thoroughly proficient in the work; a good Secretary; a harmonious and zealous membership; in short, it is a .jewel of which the Grand Lodge need not be ashamed. .a.pri16, A. D.1869.-Visited King Solomon Lodge, No. 90.. at St. Catherines, and exelnplified the ,,,,Tork and lectures of the three de.. gr~es.

This Lodge is in a flourishing condition. The Lodge room is a paragon of eleganee and bearo. ty. The furniture and fixtul路es of the LOClgie have been selected with exquisite taste. Everything is in .. charming proportion, while ljare and costly paintings beautify and embellish the hall. The finances of the Lodge are in good condition and the records 8Jre correct. ...L\.pril 7, A. L. 5869.-Visited Salisbury Lodge, No. 208, and, ,vith the eflicient ~ssistanGe of Bro. H. C.

This young and vigorous Lodge has secured and fitted up in good style a oommodious and well-ventilated hall. Had a pleM2l\J).t meeting and cordial reception, and could only regret nlY inabili;tqr to remain longer "vith the brethren.

Much to DIy surprise, the Master and Senior Warden flatly 1"0fUse<.l to c011forn1 to the work. In this action of its officers~ t,vo ulonths after, 'Varren Lodge concurred, by a vote of four to twenty, SInd again about the 8th of August, when the brethren were kindly Informed by you that tbey must "recede" from their defiant position, they re-affirmecl their action by a vote of nineteen to thirty.. eight.

Not doubting the C01"'rectnes8 of the work I taught, the brethren boldly made the issue with the Grand Lodge. III the endea.vor to enforce the la,v and maintain the dignity and authority of the Grand Lodge, you ,vere c0111pelled to arrest the charter, which was done August 10, 1869. 'Vith you, I deeply regret the line of policy the brethren havo pursued in this matter, and earnestly hope that atter more Inature deliberation, they will recede froln their })ositioD. Being unable to give the attention I desired to the Lodges in Chariton county, by reason of the failure to complete the Chilli-

cothe and Bruns,vick Railroad in the early part of the Masonic year, I requested Bro. H. L. Gaines, of Brunswick, to visit the Lodges in said county. In compliance with this request, he has free!uently lnet the officers and members of Salisbury and Warren

Lodges. l?ureka Lodge, ]{o. 73, at Brunswick, of '\vhich Bro.

the Lodge is improving. I visited thib Lodge officially, June 26, A. L. 5869, and installed their officers. Bro. J. E. Cadle, the genial gentleman and accomplished Mason, is Worshipful Master. Ohillicothe Lodge, constituted under dispensation by yourself, December 16th, A. L. 5868, during the session of the Lodge of Instruction, has had an exceedingly prosperous and harnl0nious history.. Although the Lodge has been crowded with work, so far as my knowledge extends, they have admitted none but good men. The Lodge has now about $300 in the treasury, $150 of which is loaned out at interest. The officers are thoroughly proficient in the ritual, and I would cheerfully recommend that a Charter be granted them at the coming session of the Grand Lodge.

On the 28th day of June, A. L. 5869, by your authority I organized Bottsville Lodge, under dispensation, at Bottsville, Linn county, with Bro. Jas. A. Howe, as W. M., Bro. J. M. Thompson, as S. W., and Bro.vVm. Folsonl, as J.W. Was ably assisted on this occasion by Bros. Eddy, Pendleton, Snlith, Perkins, and others.

Pursuant to a resolution of the Grand Lodge, adopted 1854, a Board of Relief has been organized in this city by Friendship Lodge No. 89, Chillicothe Lodge, under dispensation, and Lone Star Chapter, No. 30, of which Bro. R. F. Dunn is President, J.1\1:Alexander, Secretary, and Ct. P. Pepper, Treasurer. These organizations have, in addition to purchasing a splendid Cabinet Organ for the use of the Lodges and Ohapter, bought a beautiful lot in Chillicothe Cemetery, in which to deposit the remains of members of the Masonic family who may be called home during their sojourn in our midst. During the year I have necessarily given nlany decisions on questions of usage and jurisprudence, which I anl pleased to know in every instance have met your approval. I deeply regret that I have been unable to devote rnore time to visiting the Lodges of my district, but I regret it the less as I am proud to know that within my jurisdiction Masonry has never been more pl路osperous and popular, and her disciples never more devotedly attached to the grand foundations of 'l)~oral principles upon which the whole superstructure of Masonry is erected. Indeed, Most Worshipful, the almost unparalledpopularity and prosperityof the Order, I greatly fear, will ultimately jeopardize the: interests of our Institution, and I have, therefore, not hesitated to'

In submitting my annual report for the Ninth Masonic District of Missouri I shall endeavor to be brief. On the - day of November, 1868, I set Lodge of Love, at Lancaster, to work, under their charter granted by the last Grand Lodge. They are moving along nicely, antl I believe are doing good and square ,york. On the 14th of June I bet Paulville Lodge to \vorlt, unuer a di~.. pensation granted by yourself. In obedience to the requirclnents of the Grand Lodge, I called a meeting of the Masters and Wardens of the Ninth District, to convene on the 17th day of June, at Masonic Hall, in Kirksville, Missouri" The Ineeting ,vas well attended, all the Lodges in the District being represented-except

altogether, we had a very pleasant and profitable llleeting. I believe the system will work well and prove a blessing, if carried out in the true spirit. Your visit, Most Worshipful,-after the close of the Lodge-and lecture at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, was well received and highly appreciated, and left a lasting impression. for good in this part of our Grand jurisdiction, and on behalf of the craft we give you a cordial invitation to visit us again. We would be glad of many such. Since ,vriting the above, the D. D. Grand Lecturer visited our Lodge, and we find the work in Inany respects changed and difter.. ent fron'l what it was in 1865 and 1866, and it is to be regretted that the ,vork should be changed so often. Let sonle uniforlu system be adopted and never change it, if it will do at all. Some por.. tions of the present work are seriously objected to. Hoping that the great moral principles of our noble Order lnay prevail and triumph over every opposition, I am ever and truly yourlS,

JI. W. J. D. Vincil, Grand lJ-faster Of ltIissouri: DEAR SIR AND BROTHER-Very unexpectedly I received a letter from you last October notifying nle that you had appointed me as your Deputy in the Tenth Masonic District, comprising the counties of Daviess, Grundy, Mercer and Harrison, and now in " pursuance of the law in such case made and provided" I herewith render unto you an account of my official stewardship.

On the 30th of October, A. L. 5868, I received from the Grand Secretary charters for Lindley Lodge, No. 253, Lodge of Light, No. 257; Ravenna Lodge, No. 258, and Earl Lodge, No. 285, with orders to set them to work under charter.

On the 8th of November, 1868, I visited the brethren at BaleDl, in Daviess county, and set Earl Lodge, No. 285, to work under the charter, dedicated their hall and installed their officers. The brethren at Salem have built a small but well arranged, safe, and comfortable hall, which they paid for by contribution. They thus save paying rent, and can expend their accruing funds for furniture and inlproveUlents. On the 21st of November I visited the brethren at Eagleville and set Lodge of Light, No. 257, to work under charter, installed tbe officers and delivered a short address to the brethren.

Being unable to attend in person Ravenna Lodge, No. 258, J appointed Bro. J. W. Stockman, Past Master of Somerset Lodge, No. 206, my proxy to set the Lodge to work under charter, which he reported was done on the 20th of November, 1868.

I appointed Bro. G. H. I-lubbell, Past Master of Trenton Lodge, No. 111, as my proxy to set Lindley Lodge, No. 253, to ,vork under charter, which he reported was done on the - day of November, 1868.

On the 15th of Decelnber, 1868, I attended a Lodge of Instruction at Chillicotlle, called by R. W. Bro. A. M. Dockery, D. D. Graud )'\'Iaster of the Eighth District, where I had the pleasure of meeting many prominent Masons, and among the number ,vas the Grand Master of Missouri, who delivered a fine public address and several effective private lectures, of which, however, you will no doubt be properly informed by the District Deputy of the Eighth District. Great credit is due to Bro. Dockery and the brethren of Chillicothe for the efforts used to make the Lodge of Instruction a success, which it was, very <1ecidedly.

Being inlpressed '\vith the idea that Lodges of Instruction are good things in many ways, especially when attended by the Grand Master, I called a Lodge of Instruction to be held at Gallatin on the 15th of February, A. D. 1869, and invited the Grand l\laster to attend, but regl路et to have to report that neither the Grand Master nor his Deputy l' came to tilne." Owing to Il1uddy roads, rainy weather, ann swollen streams, it was almost inlpracticable to travel in the "rural districts." Besides, Bro. Wm. G. LeWiS, at the time Worshipful Master of Bethany Lodge, No. 97, was lying dangerously ill, and. died on the 18th of February. Bro. Lewis was a, prominent citizen and lawyer in northwest Missouri, and hi~ death, though not unexpected, cast a gloom over the entire neighborhood. Bro. Lewis was a zealous Mason, an exemplary Christian, & good man,. resl)ected and loved by all who knew him, respected l\ighest &nd loved most by those who knew hbn best.. He had

236

[Oct.

been my intimate friend for years, and while on his dying bed I could not leave him. I was pleased to learn that our zealous Bro. Wm. A. Prall, ill pursuance of IllY invitation, overcame all obstacles and reached Gallatin in safety, and spent several days in instructing the brethren that were in attendance.

Being unable to procure anything like uniformity of recommendation from the different Louges of the District for D. D. Lecturer, I gave the Lodges notice that one would be selected by the Lodge of Instruction. The Lodges present recommended for Bro. R. W. Grove, Past Master of Daviess Lodge, No. 116, I took great pleasure in recommending him to the Grand Lecturer. Bro. Grove visited St. Louis, received the work and a eertificate of qualification to teach it from the Grand Lecturer, and has done good service ill visiting the Lodges and giving instructions in the

""vork. On the 8th of May, 1869, I visited Western Star Lodge, No. 15,

at Victoria, Daviess county, delivered an address on lVlasonic duty, examined their records, and found them well kept." I attended their regular meeting on the 15th of May, and conferred the second degree upon a candidate. \v estern Star Lodge is in good condition, the brethren are zealous and harmonious; the Lodge has erected and paid for a new and comfortable hall, which is well furnished, and the Lodge is out of debt. On the 12th of l\;Iay, I vis{ted Daviess Lodge, No. 116, delivered short lecture on JYlasonic duties; examined the records and found tllem well kept, except the Secretary did not keep the minutes recorded promptly, which error he agreed to correct. This Lodge has a large membership, generally well informed, but a few are not so harmonious as they should be. The members generally are very anxious to be correct in the work.

On the 24th:of June, I attended 9r cel~bration at Eagleville, given by Lodge of Light, No. 257. The Lodge had a public installm.tion of officers, and a free dinner for Masons and their families, prepared by the Lodge and lady friends.

Bros. Speer, Woodward, and 111yself each delivered a short address. Bethany Lodge, No. 97, has a large membership, a large and safe hall, well furnished, financially in a good condition. There have been some disoords in the Lodge which have given cO'1l8idelfable trouble. The Lodge during the last year has been wOlrltiiD:g rather badly, Bro.. Lewis, the Worshipful Master, baving died

during his tern1, left the Lodge witll0Ut any head, and the sequence was loose and indifferent work, but the brethren are laboring to correct all irregularities, and from tIle number of men and true in the I.Jodge, r hope it will do better than before.

connow good' eve, â&#x20AC;˘

I regret that professional ~usiness, together with rainy weather lind bad roads, prevented me visiting all the Lodges in the district. r have reports from all, and believe they are generally doing well.

This district is a very large one, comprising four large coun ties, and, perhaps, more territory than any other district in the State, \with seventeen Lodges, and not touched by a railroad, which renders it rather laborious to visit i),ll the Lodges ill the district. There are SOlne suggestions J would like to Inake in reference to by-laws, trials in the Lodges, and other matters, but this report is already too long, considering the fact that tllere are forty such reports to be mad e. vVith many wishes for J"'our future '\velfare and happiness, al1d for the prosperity of the Fraternity at large, I am, truly and fraternally, yours,

over that Lodge for several years, has suddenly broken up and drifted away, let us hope to return no more forever. The Lodge is now working harmoniously and with a little more attention to the :citual will compare favorably ,vith any Lodge in Iny jurisdiction. I have visited Mirabile Lodge, No. 166, and. find its affairs in a highly satisfactory condition. The utmost harmony and good feeling seem to permeate the whole institution, and I must say for the brethren of that Lodge, that their machine grinds out some very good work for one so T'ltsty as it is. I called a Lodge of Instruction at Hamilton, on the 20th of May, at which all the Lodges in my district was represented, with the exception of Richmond Lodge. Instructions were '"given in the work and lectures of Anciellt Craft Masonry, by Bros. W. A. Prall and Jas. E. Drake. Too much praise cannot be given Bro. Prall for the efficient and thorough manner in which he gave his instructions, or for his untiring patience and unflagging zeal. The live D. D. Grand Master of the Eightll District, R.W. Alex. Y. Dockery, paid us a flying visit and lent us a willing hand during . his stay. An enthusiastic and devoted Craftsluan. Would that we had more like him. It is unnecessary for me to detail the unfortunate circumstances leading to the arrest of the Charter of lIouston Lodge, as you are fully conversant with all the facts. I am sorry to state that my business engagements did not permit me to visit either Wakanda or Richmond Lodge, but knowing

that they have among them more than a fair proportion of the bright lights of my district, and hearing favorable reports front them, I feel assured that they are not suffering from Iny neglect. I visited Knoxville Lodge, under dispensation, in June, and conferred second and third degrees. Found the Lodge working very well, and believe from what I saw that it is exerting a very good influence in that little town. The hall occupied by the Lodge is very shabby, but perfectly safe. The brethren are now erecting It more suitable bUilding, which will be completed in a short time.

r received you dispensation for the organizing of a Lodge at Hardin, Ray county, but being unable to attend in person, I authotized W. Bro. Jas. E. Drake, of Wakanda Lodge, to set the !lew Lodge at work, which he did durJng the month of August, I am unable to give the exact date, as he hasofailed to report to me. Hamilton Lodge is working harmoniously, and its affairs in very satisfactory condition.

The Grand Lodge would run no risk in granting them a charter this Communication, for they have the honor and good of the Fraternity at heart. August 21, 1869-Visited Parrott Lodge at Maysville, under the Mastership of Bro. R. A. Hewitt. This Lodge is doing good work on good materialllere; the laws are rigidly enforced, and it is the determination of the brethren to have a good Lodge if their numbers are few. Bro. Ransome does not come about them, I understand. He vie,vs them as clandestiue, from the fact that by your ord~r the dispensation was arrested and changed; and it is well, Most Worshipful, you did that, for if the Lodge had started as it was then intended it would have been of short duration. I recomInend a charter.

Stewardville is blessed with many bright Masons, and it is impossible that they could ma.. terially err. Osborn Lodge, U. D., is a good Lodge and should have a charter, prOVided they succeed in expelling from the privileges of Masonry SOIlle of the rotten material that is afloat in that vicinity. If they have the firmness to vindicate their honor as Masons by enforcing th,e Masonic law against all offenders, I reconlmend a charter, and not otherwise.

Gentryville Loclge, No. 125, is where I hold my membership. We have a good hall, good officers and good members, but are too sla0k in enforcing the law. I am aware that a Lodge of Masons should not be ruled over with rigo1'", but I do contend that the honol of the Fraternity should be preserved unsullied. You perceive, Most Worshipful, that I llave visited all the Lodges in .my DistJ:ict, and I have but one suggestion to offal路, I believe it should be made the duty of the D. D. Grand Mast@fs to deliver a lecture in each Lodge in Ilis District on the duties of Masons to each other. They appear to be more negligent on this point than any other, and in many instances it is for lack of knowledge. With many wishes for your future welfare and happiness, I anl Yours fraternally, AHIRA MANNING,

GRAND MASTER, THIRTEENTH DISTRICT)

BARRY, ~~[.

Mo., September 1, 1869.

W. John D. Vincll, Grand 1rJaster oj the Grancl Lodge of Mi88ourri:

DEAR SIR AND BROTHER-I herewith submit an account of my stewardship as Deputy District Grand Master for the Thirteenth District, embracing the counties of Platte, Clay and Clinton.

On or about the 1st of Noveluber, A. D. 1868, I notified the several Lodges in my District of the change in the District Deputy system, and requested them to elect some brother in the District to act as District Deputy Grand Lecturer, in accordance with resolution adopted by Grand Lodge at its last Annual Communication. This request, I regret to say, was not complied with by many of the Lodges, and I was unable, therefore, to secure the services of any brother in that capacity. On the 14th day of November, A. L. 5868, I set to work Acacia Lodge, No. 289, under charter granted by Grand Lodge in Ootober, A. D. 1868, dedicated and consecrated their hall and installed tlleir officers, whom I know to be "good men and true," well posted in the work, and possessing a zeal for and fidelity to our ancient order unsurpassed by any Lodge in the District. I have learned they are in a prosperous condition, both morally and financially, having added some good material to the "Temple." On the 21st day of November, A. L. 5868, I visited Newmarket, Platte county, and installed the officers of "Newmarket Lodge, No. .274," and set them to work under charter granted them by Grand Lodge at its last COlnmunicatioD. This Lodge was organized in and occupies a hall in common with the "Odd Fellows," but, I understand the brothers intend purchasing and occupying the hall exclusively. I regret that I was not able to visit this Lodge after its' organization, but it is with pleasure I state that Bro. Dibble, of Camden Point Lodge, informs me they are doing very "fair work." On the 12th of December I sent the dispensation for Kearney Lodge to Bro.. Wm. A. Hall, of Liberty, (as I was unable to be present), requesting him to organize said Lodge for me; but owing to the ll(!)gleot of some Postmaster, he did not get the dispensation until tJhe 6th of January, consequently the Lodge was not organi~ed until the 11th of January, 1869, at which time Bro. Hall vis-

ited Kearney for mc, performing the work, and reported things in " good condition." On the 4th day of March I visited LathrOl), in Clinton county, to ascertain the propriety of forming a Lodge at that place. After investigating the matter thoroughly, I recomnlended that a dispen~ation be granted to the brethren there, and in due time the same was received.. I, therefore, 011 the 23d day of March, A. L. 5800L again visited Lathrop and organized "Lathrop Lodge," U. Do, with Bro. Y. 0 . K. Gant, Worshipful MaE:lter; Bro. James Gordon, Senior Warden; Bro. S. D. Young, Junior "Varden. The wmensi4!)DS of Hall, location. and surroundings, it was my privilege to communicate to you on a previous occasion.

On the 24th day of July, 1869 t I convened a Lodge of Instrtt~ tion in the ball of Liberty Lodge, No. 31, at I.Jiberty, Clay count1\ Missol1ri. R. W. WIn. A. Prall, of st. IJouib, was present as Grand Lea.. turer, disppnsing trtU3 Jtfasonic light, and at the end of three days, when the I.Jodge was closed, each brother present must have felt that it had been three days well spent, and that much efficient good must result from such meetings .

But while there is so much cause of congratulation frron tbis meeting, it is with regret that I say there were only seven. Lodges< represented there, out of fourteen, some of them, I fear, failed to be represented through carelessness; others, however, I SUbsequently learned, did not receive the notice in tiIne. At this meeting I' had the opportunity of visiting Lioorty Lodge, No. 31, at 8ÂŁ called eommunication, aDd found the evidences of brethren-" good men and true," and officers, "worthy and well qualified" for their ees~ective duties.

Karally, Liberty Lodge takes position with tile first Lodges of the State, but, financially, she is somewhat in arrears, for her oh([}Jtity has ertel!Icred greatly beyond her jurisdiction. No" memo. berof the human family, more especiaUy a worthy brother,'" ever knocks at her door in 'Uain, for charity. On the 18th day of August, I visited Conlpass Lodge, No. !2Q, at Parkville, Platte county, ~nd exemplified the work, as taught by the Grand Lecturer. I found them in a prosperous condition, guarding well the interests of the craft at large, and possessing a, sincere desire for true Masonic light and ]\:nowledge. Rising Bu'Jt .Lâ&#x201A;Ź)dge, No,. 13~ at this place, I s,m h~ppy to $ta~e, ~ in fl uite a prosperou9 conditiou, both rXlorally and :ftn&n~i&lly.

243

I am satisfied that our District Deplity 'System, as it now stands, is a great improvement on the old plan, but there are grave defi-

ciencies yet denlanding Masonic legislation. The Grand Lodge makes it obligatory upon tIle D. D. GrandMasters to hold a :yodge of InstrtllCttion, a"t least once :it year, in 'thear respecb.i.ve districts, but does not compel the L@dges to attend said "Lodge of InstructilQn.." We think it sh()uld be eqlU.aLly bindillg UpOll both, and i\lVOtJlld most respectfully call the attootioD.. of tbe Grand Master to this matter. As a means to accomplish said object, we would n'1ost fraternally s1UUgest that the Secretary of th.e subordinat,e Lodges be required to eolleet from each member of his Lodge the sunl of twenty-five cents, and forward the same to the Grand Ludge Secretary, to be paid through llinl to the District Deputies. In case no such Lodge of Instruction is held in any district, all such monies shall go to their credit for Grand Lodge dues. This small ~um from each m'ember in the State woulcl give Qver three th~usand five hundred dollaTs to " the cause of ingiyruetion," and th'€l·eby insure more zeal upon. the part of the deputies, more ene-rgy UP()'I\ the part of the Lodges and the eraft generally. Having thus expended their mone:y", and paid for it in advance, they will be more lik€ly to use some effort to reap the fall benefits of it by seeking after l\f8;sonie lign t. I regret that I "\-vas unable to visit all the Lodges in Iny district, bitt bU$iness of a private cl~~acber, Sind ci:roomsItanoes OVler which I ha.d!ELO control, prevented me. I cannot close this .;repollrt without returning thanks to R. W. Bro. W. A. PraU~ of St. Louis, for his valued services in our Lodg.e of Instruction, and to asS\lr~ llim he will alw~y1S have a warm place in the hearts of all the brethren pr~8ent at that meeting. These, Worshipful Master, comprise all my official acts daring the l\{,asonic year, which, in an inexperienced way, is respectlull:r submitted.

A,cting under your authority, I constitw.ted the following LQdgea under eharters ordered by the M. W", Grand Lodge:

October 19-Aurora, No. 267, St. Louis. October 20-Grove, No. 296, Webster. October 31-]'enOOn, No. 281, Fenton. November 2-Cosmos, No. 282, St. Louis.

they will seriously entertain the subject of dividing their numbers, by the formation of a new Lodge. This, however, is a question for their own consideration.

Good Hope, No. 216, is making good progress, both in work and membership, and will rank with nearly any of our city Lodges. Beacon, No.3, and Aurora, No. 267, now occupy their new quarters, in the new hall recently finished, on the corner of Benton 1tnd Broadway, which, for arrangements, convenience and room, is not surpassed by any similar building in the city. It is a credit to the Lodges interested in it, and to the Union Hall Association that erected it. I have not been able to visit the Lodges in the county, as 1 had purposed doing before making this repol~t, the time I had set apart for that purpose being taken up by me in the investigation of the affairs of Meridian Lodge, of which you have been duly advised.

In the beginning of December last, I organized a Lodge of Instruction in the city, giving due notice of the same to all the Lodges in the district. This Lodge continued to meet every Saturday evening till the last weel\; in April, R. W. Bro. T. E. Garrett, Grand Lecturer, assisting me, by taking special charge of the work. I am satisfied that the number of brethren who regularly attended c1eriYed a great benefit from this course of instruction, but I also think that there were many absent, both officers and members of Lodges, who ought to have been there. The inference from their absence would be that they had nothing to learn, and it is a pleasant reflection, such being the case, that we have in our midst such a large number of brethren well versed in the work and lectures of symbolic Masonry-they are perfect. The formation by the Grand Lodge of a permament Lodge of Instruction in this city, has frequently been suggested here. Of the utility of such an organization I think there is but little question; but I doubt if brethren would avail themselves of its teachings so long as one of the great incentives to learn the work and lectures is wanting, and whilst our present system prevails of proficiency in work succeeding and not preceding the election and installation of officers of Lodges, officers elect will commence to learn when they should be qualified to teach, and our Lodges will COIl'" tinue to be schools of practice for exhibitions of such ignoranoe as should not be permitted outside of a Lodge of Instruction. That this is a chronic evil amongst us, and the cause of a great lack of interest in the work, &c., is, I am afraid, unquestionable. It may be inferred from the larger attendance at the meetings of Lodges Where the work is reputed to be well done, and the slim attendance

where the reverse is the case-though it also follows, under the system I allude to, that the best working Lodge of this year may be the poorest one next. . . With the opportunities supposed to exist here, it is natural for our brethren from other parts of the State to look to the city Lodges for correct and skilful work, and as such is not to be relied upon, as a general rule, a permanent Lodge of Instruction here might be the means of furnishing it, and so disseminate it to some extent through the state. Since the first formation of the Board of Relief there has been an immense increase in the duties devolving upon it, and they are faithfully performed by its zealous members. Few of our brethren outside of it being aware of the time and patience devoted to their duties J nor of the amount of trouble whicll is thereby saved to the Lodges in this most practical part of the objects of our Institution. With the increase of calls upon this fBoard, though the contribu路 tions have also increased, yet they have not been adequate to the relief required; and as the contributions reqUired to be made by the Lodges are no higher than they were when the Board was :first formed, it might be advisable to llave some change in that respect, in addition to the stipend that is usually contributed by the Grand Lodge. At the saIne tinIe, as the Board has become a fixed instition, as well as a lal"ge and growing one, I would suggest that it should make annual reports to the Grand Lodge, and also that the Grand IJodge should approve of its rules and regulations, or provide a code of snch that will be suitable for its management. This Board deserves great credit for its general efficiency, and it should be supplied with means sufficient for the claims upon it, without its individual members being taxed to supply any deficiency. I close this general review with my thanks to you for the trust reposed in me by you for the past two years, regretting only that business has prevented my visiting the Lodges in this~ District as much as I should have wished. I have to acknowledge the uniform oourtesy and respect which I have always met with, and the readiness which I have always found manifested by the Lodges and their officers to receive instruction and advice.

John D.. VinelU, JL lV. a/rand 1J.Iaster oj lJICtsons of lJ-fi880'url: DEAR SIR AND BROTHER: 1 herewith sulnuit the following report for the Seventeenth Masonic District:

Since the meeting of the Grand Lodge I have vibited the following Lodges: Pacific Lodge, No. 159; Union Lodge, No. 173; Cedar IJooge, No. 37; Hope Lodge, No. 251; Shekinah Lodge, No. 256. I received the charter of Cedar Lodge, No. 37, and notified the brethren to meet me 011 the 5th of Noveulber, 1868, and organized the Lodge, installed their officers and put thenl to work. Received the charter of Shekinah Lodge, No. 256, and the O:retb.. ren met me in the Lodge-l'oom 011 the 11th day of November, 1868. Organized the Lodge, installed the officers, and left them in a prospering condition. Received the charter of Hope Lodge, No. 251. Notified the brethren and organized the Lodge; installed their officers and put them to work in good order, peace and harll10ny prevailing. The following Lodges I could not viE,it, btlt from strict inquiry I find them in good and wholesome condition: Evergreen Lodge, No. 27; Su.llivan Lodge, No. 69; De Soto Lodge, No. 119; Joachim Lodge, No. 164. I could not visit them officially, but sa,,, some of their members and they are all in good spirits. I installed the officers of Hope Lodge, No. 231, on the 24th day of June, 1869, and at the same time listened to an address from our brother P. M. Pinckard, who gave us some good and wholesonle instructions. On the 17th day of July, 1869, I installed the officers of Pacific Lodge, No. 159. I am sorry to say that some of the Lodges are financially in a b&d, conditiQn, but I ho:ge, wiJth the 3$sistance of the brethren of the neighboring Lodges, they will be able to come out all right. Nearly all of the Lodges in this District have good halls and are secure from intrusion. Acoo:rding to the by-laws of the Grand Lodge, requiring the District Deputy Grand Masters to hold a Lodge of Instruction during the, Masonic yea:r, I netified the offieers and members of the Lodges of the Seventeenth District to meet me in the hall of Hope Lodge,

The fullowing Lodges sent delegates to attend the Lodge of Instruction: Hope, No. 251, Cedar, No. 37, tJnion, No. 173, Evergreen, ~o. 27, and Shekinah, No. 256. But the following Lodges did not, fr0111 some cause, respond:

Pacific, No. 159, Sullivan, No. 69, De Soto, No. 119, and Joachim, No. 164. There have been some errors that have crept into some of the Lodges of this District, which I have el1deavored to correct; but if there has been any Inaterial wrong, it has been an error of the head, and not of the heart. The prosperous condition of the craft in the Seventeenth District is my excuse for the brevity of this report. So far as I ha"te' been able to ascertain, our beloved Order ill this District has never been in a more healthy and prosperous condition. I have now, ill as short a Inanller as possible, given you a llistory of my operations since the Grand Lodge last met, and will close by wishing you individually the most perfect happiness and success in this life.

So far as I have been able to ascertain, the three above named Lodges have never been in a more healthy and prosperous condition than at present.

Saline Lodge, No. 226, I have not been able to visit. The re.. ports I hear about it are not very favorable. As. soon as Bro. Harris received his certificate of qualification as District Lecturer, I called a Lodge of Instruction, which was attended by a part of the officers of Marcus, Farmington and St. Francois Lodges, who appeared very anxious to learn the work cor.. rect. Bro. Harris also appeared to take pleasure in giving the nec.. essary instructions. The officers of Saline Lodge did not attend; they do not appear to take much interest in Masonry; they have had no election or installation for some two or three years.

On Wednesday before the full moon, in October, 1868, (their regular communication,) I met with Marble Hill Lodge, installed their officers and set them to "vork under the charter granted by last Grand Lodge, with a fair prospect of building up a good Lodge. They have a large jurisdiction and ought to have plenty of good rnateriaI. On the 22d and 23d of January, 1869, I, by request of Mystic Tie Lodge, No. 221, at~Oak Ridge, met with them, installed their officers and instructed them in the work and lectures. They h.ave a good Lodge, aloe doing good work, and are well posted. I called a meeting of Instruction to be held at this place on Monday, the 3d day of March, 1869. It was represented by every Lodge in the District, and close attention was paid to instruction . I trllst the time was spent both pleasantly and profitably.

If the meetings of the Grand Lodge were held in May, as formerly, it would suit the physicians (in this part of the State at least) better than the time now set, it being our sickly sesson. We are all busy and nobody to turn our patients over to, and the farmers, who compose the greater number of the Grand Lodge, are busy sowing wheat, &c. vVith Iny best respects, I am yours fraternally,

DEAR SIR AND BROTHER-The following brief report of my official duties for the year ending October, A. D. 1869, is herewith submitted: April 28th-I visited Tyro Lodge, No. 12, in cOlnpany with Bro. J. T. Ahe, the District Lecturer of this district. Owing to some personal difficulties between some of its members, the Lodge was not doing well. This Lodge is composed of excellent n'laterial, but little interest is manifested in its work, consequently it does not work as smoothly as it should. After an exemplification of the work by the Dis.. tri~t Lecturer, and on examination of their books, etc., we left them, convinced that in the future we might expect better of the Lodge. We also visited Potosi Lodge, No. l31, and Irondale Lodge, No. 143. We found them in good oondition, doing good work, and considerable of it. This is especially so of Potosi Lodge, as their report will show for the current year. Each of the above Lodges own the building in which they meet, and are very well furnished and fitted for the purposes intended. On the 3d and 4th of this month we held a Lodge of Instruction, at Irondale, at which time and place there was a very good attendance from the various Lodges in this district; there was considerable interest manifested, and I believe considerable good was accomplished.

[Oct

Lebanon Lodge is making improvements In the Hall of twenty years ago; when completed will add very materially to the comfort ot the members, and particularly of the officers. The steady growth of Rolla Lodge will require the building of a larger and Dlore commodious Hall, at no very distant day. The Halls now occupied by both Evening Star and Salem Lodges, are each too small-poorly adapted to the purpose for which they are used, and in my;judgment neither of them very safe. Hence I urged upon the officers and Inembers of these Lodges, the necessity of taking steps at once, to build them a house of their own. I am fully satisfied that a very large proportion of the Lodges of this Grand Jurisdiction, hold their meetings in bUildings that are insecure. This should not be tolerated. When a new Lodge is organized, it should be on the condition of their taking steps at once, to build a good and safe house to meet and work in. Brethren are wont to say, "Oh! ,ve cannot build-we are poor, and have not the money." I would say to all such, "Economise-be careful of your appropriations-leave expensive celebrations alone, until you have built you a house to live in. What would be thought of a man-a laborer, and he without any house of his own, a renter, a tenant at will, who once in every twelve months, gave a great banquet to his friends, that consumed all his earnings for the year, and left him with unpaid bills hanging over hiln ?" Evening Star Lodge is doing but little work, owing, in a nlea.. sure, to its small territorial jurisdiction. The finances of the Lodge are healthy, and Records fairly kept. The brethren are beginnIng to see the importance of having a Hall of their own, and are agi.. tating the subject. On the 17th of July, I installed the officers of Lebanon Lodge, publicly, and in the presence :of quite a respectful and attentive audience. This District has been this year without a Lecturer; and though I found the brethren anxious for information in the work wand lectures of the Craft, yet I could only say to them, that I understood things thus and so, but eould not require a brother who differed with me to relinquish his idea for mine-matters not how well I waS satisfied of my correctness. Has the District Lectures arrangement been a success? Does it not put into the machinery too many wheels? Very respectfully and fra tern~~Jly,

As I have but five Lodges in my District, I concluded not to call a School of Instruction, thinking it would be better for the various Lodges to visit them, and instruct them in their own Lodge rooms; consequently I notified each Lodge to let me know when they desi;red my services.

nucleus towards which all unfortunates wander. Jefferson is the "open sesame" of their desires, and the worthy (and often un,vorthy) are not turned empty-handed away. You will perceive, Most Worshipful, that I have visited all the Lodges in the District, except Moniteau Lodge. I notified the Master that, whenever they desired my services r to let me know. OWing, I rpresume, to the absence of the Master of that Lodge, I have not been called to visit them for the ptlrpQ~e of instruction. I had intended during the mOJath of August to make them a visit and e~amine their records, &c., but my own business rendered it ilnI>ossible to do so.

I think, ~fost Worshipful Grand Master, we have cause for congratulation in the improved moral tone and earnest zeal manifested by Masons in this District. Lodges throughout the District have strictly enforced the law in regard to drunkenness, gamb~ ling and unmasonic condnct; the utmost harmony and good feelms prevail; prosperity and peace abound within our border, and the universal desire appe&TS' to be "who can best work an'<i best agree."

DEAR SIR AND BROTHER-After my respects to you, I will give you my report.

I appointed, by consent of the Lodges, a District Lecturer; but owing to the distance and expense attending a trip to St. Louis he failed to qualify, so we have had no Lodge of Instruction. There are but four Lodges in the Thirty-first District.

Granby Lodge, No. 216, is doing a moderate amount of work. Good, safe hall. Finances and morals good.

Newton Lodge, No. 175.-Doing a large amount of work; have nearly completed a large and well arranged hall. Morals and work fair. Neosho Lodge, No. 247.-1s doing a large amount of work. Have refitted and enlarged their hall, which is now a good one. Morals good. Finances easy. . I have not been able to visit Yancey Lodge, No. 148, at Pine路 ville, but learn they are doing a fair amount of work.

Remarks.-Masonry in this District is progressing; the brethren are zealous, active and determined to advance in knowledge and usefulness, ~nd show due caution in the material they use in the Masonic edifice. Yours Frsternally,

jI. JV. John D. Vincil, G1路and :Jfaster of Masons of Mi880uri: DEAR SIR AND BROTHER-In obedience to the by-laws of the M. W. Grand Lodge of Masons of Missouri, I have the honor to make the following report of my acts, as D. D. Gl'and Master of the Thirty-second District, during the year past, viz: ..

October 31, 1868, I instituted Sarcoxie Lodge, No. 273, Sarcoxie, Missouri. ~ November 26, l86S-Instituted A villa Lodge, No. 278, at AVilla, Missouri. December 5,1868-1 opened Rock Prairie Lodge, No. i,269, and presided over the sanle until the officers were elected, the same evening. Not being able at that time to get a convocation of Past Masters, I did not install the officers, but authorized Bro. H. MQDowell, D. D. Grand Master Thirty-third District, to do so, which he afterwards did.

I called a meeting of delegates from the several Lodges in the District, at Sarcoxie, December 15, 1868, to select a D. D. Lecturer. I was selected as such at said meeting. 1 immediately proceeded to St. Louis and got the work from the Grand Lecturer. January 18, 1869-1 opened a Lodge of Instruction in Sarcoxie Lodge, which continued four days. January 25, 1869-0pened a Lodge of Instruction a:t A villa Lodge, and continued four days. February 22, 1869-0pened a Lodge of Instruction in Rock Prairie Lodge, and continued three days. February 25, 1869-0pened a Lodge of Instruction in Mt. Vernon Lodge, No. 99, and continued three days. June 18, 1869-Set Medoc Lodge, U. D., to work, and gave them ~Xlj$tructlol1S.

Jane 24, 1869-1 opened a session of the Grand Lodge at Carth 1\ge, and laid the corner-stone of a hall being constructed by Car.-

thage Lodge, No. 197. Some time during the summer I recovered a portion of the books alld papers of the late Jasper Lodge, No. -, and forwarded them to the Grand Secretary. The late Secretary of said Lodge also paid Ir.\ethe sum of $50 25, being funds in his hands when the Lodge

On the 11th of November I visited Index, Cass county, and set Index Lodge, No. 277, to work under their charter, and dedicated their hall. November 14th-I set Grand River Lodge, No. 276, located at Morristown Oass county, to work under their charter, and dedicated their hall. November 30th-I visited Butler, Bates county, and set Butler Lodge, No. 254, to work under charter, and dedicated their hall. ,

On the 8th of March I received a dispensation for a Lodge at Altoona, Bates county, and being unable to attend in person I commissioned Bro. John J. Miller, a Past Master residing at that place, to set the Lodge to work, and he reported that lIe did so on the 1st day of May, and the Lodge commenced with favorable prospects. On the 17th day of May I opened a Lodge of Instruction, in the hall of Cass Lodge, No. 147, in Harrisonville, Mo., which continued for five days and was attended by representatives fronl all the Lodges in the District, except Papinville, No. 140. R. W. Bro. James E. Carter, District Lecturer for the Twenty-seventh District, was present and conducted the instructions in a very able and satisfactory manner, for which I am under many obligations to him. The brethren present were well pleased with the result, and all concur in the oplnion that uniformity in the work and lectures can only be attained by diligence and effort on the part of the officers of the various Lodges. The Lodge of Instruction resulted in great good, and the brethren present will long remember Bro. Carter as a most successful as well as companionable teacher of the work and lectures. July 15th-I opened a Grand Lodge by your order in the hall of Butler Lodge.. No. 254, and, with the usual Masonic ceremonies, laid the corner stone of the new Court-House in Butler, and delivered an address. I was assisted by brothers F. V. Holloway, G. M. Houston, O. D. Austin, and other brethren, and enjoyed a very interesting and pleasant time. The brethren of Butler Lodge design fitting up a Lodge room in the third story of this bUilding, and as the bUilding is to have a French roof they will be enabled to obtain a convenient and commodious room at comparatively little cost. While at Butler I exemplified the work in the three degrees, and found the Lodge very proficient for one so young, the result of a good representation at our Lodge of Instruction. By your direction I visited Index Lodge, No. 277, August .21, and presided at the trial of a brother against whom very serions charges had been preferred. rÂŁhe charge and specifi.c~tiona wet'~ fully sustained by the evidence, and the accused expelled.

I have during the year visited officially all the Lodges in my District, except Papinville, No. 140, and Live Oak, No. 128. The former, I am credibly informed, is not proficient in the work, and I regret that I have been unable to visit them. They are inconvenient of access and my private business has prevented me from visiting them. I have full confidence in Bro. C. L. Mayo, Worshipful Master of Live Oak Lodge, No. 128, and did not deeD). it necessary to visit that Lodge for the purposes of instruction. My inform~tion is to the effect that it is in a most flourishing condition. I am pleased to be able to add with truth that Masonry in this District is not on the decline-on the other hand it is ill the ascendency, in influence and power for good. The desire for proficiency universally prevails, and time, with the patience and perseverance now possessed by the brethren, will bring our Lodges up to the standard of correct Missouri work. In conclusion, allow me to return to you my sincere thanks for the manifestation of your confidence in my appointment. Trusting that an abler successor may be found to labor in this field, and that the:Craft may continue to prosper, I remain, Truly and fraternally yours, N. M. GIVAN", D. D.

Several informal Lodges of Instruction have been held during the year, under the supervision of Right Worshipful Frank S.

V~ncil,

Grand Master: DEAR SIR AND BROTHER-As D. D. Grand Master of the Forty-first Masonic District, under your jurisdiction, I have the honor to report:

That, owing to the fact that most of the officers of the Lodges in this district are scattered, and some doing business at points re-

mote from their respective Lodges, I could not, to suit their convenience, call them together for the purpose of instruction, as required by resolution of the Grand Lodge; neither could they send representatives so as to accomplish the convening of a Lodge of In~truction.

I have, unfortunately, through ill-health and business engagements, been prevented from visiting any of the Lodges in this Territory during the past Masonic year, except Montezuma Lodge, No. 109, of which f am a member. By authority received from the M. W. Grand Master, under date of December 21, 1868, I appointed Bro. P. M. C. E. Wesche. my proxy to install the officers, and dedicate and consecrate the. new hall of Chapman Lodge, No. 95, at Las Vegas, which he did OIl the 28th December, 1868, and made satisfactory return to me of his action in the premises. During the month 路of January, 1869, the members of Aztec Lodge, No. 108, committed an informality at the funeral of Bro. Harrell, having buried him with a portion of the Masonic ceremonies when none of the three principal officers of :the Lodge were present. Having called the attention of the M. W. Grand Master to this matter, I think it but due to that Lodge to say tbat they gave me, in explanation, that, "they put on their &prons and accompanied the remains of deceased to the grave, and deposited the body, reading the funeral service at the grave." The W. M., Bro. William L. Rynerson, in writing to me about the c&S/e, upon my calling his attention to it, says:

"I hope the brethren did not materially erl:, and I regr~t that 1h&deceaseu brother could not have reeeived a Masonic burial BY r:tlIl! LODGE, as it seems to me, under the circumstanceJ3, he was en~~}ed to. 11

Their fraternal respect for the dead will not be again indulged in at the sacrifice of the law, I feel well assured; they will heed my admonitions. I have not, this year, visited this Lodge, but learn that every.. thing with them is in a prosperous condition, and that the mem.. bers are all zealous and live brethren. "Many knock, but few enter." They" guard well the outer door." As for Chapman Lodge, No. 95, I am pleased to state that it is in a flourishing condition, and doing good work with suitable rna.. terial, and, consequently, have "workmen that needeth not to be ashamed." This Lodge missed holding one stated communioation, on account of neither of the three principal officers being present, they being engaged in business at places remote from the Lodge. r regret that such was the cast', and hope it will not occur again. I was not officially informed of the matter, but learned it from good authority. Bro. P. M. Kirby Benedict, at my request, did me the favor to visit them, a few days ago, at their new, safe and handsome hall, and exemplified the work, and lectured on the three degrees. He was much pleased with his visit, and says the brethren manifested a commendable zeal for the good of the order. He made due return to n1e as my representative. 011 the 16th of August, I received a dispensation from our M. w. Grand 1"Iaster to establish" Kit Carson Lodge," at Elizabethtown, Colfax county, in this Territory, and not being able to attend in person, availed myself of the kind services of Bro. Kirby Benedict to set the Lodge to work and give them proper instructions, which he did on the 28th of August. He was ably assisted in his labors by Bros. Clever and Elkins, of Montezuma Lodge, No. 109, and Bro. Catron, of Aztec Lodge, No. 108. He gave them such instructions as time and circumstances permitted, and reports that the brethren manifested a very commendable aptness and knowledge of the work and of the ritual. He dUly made return to me of his action, much to my satisfaction. In regard to Montezuma Lodge, No. 109: Your orders to m.e, under date of November 12, 1868, in answer to my letter to you of November 1, 1868, regarding two cases I presented for your consUL路 eration, were duly obeyed and acted upon accordingly by the Lodge. I have to thank you for your approval of my action in the premises. I have the great pleasure to report to you that this Lodge will compare favorably with any Lodge under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Missouri-in fact, she is a model Lodge. Her portals are thronged, many are "knocking at the door of the temple," but the brethren are very zealous and attentive, and oareful in dispensing "true Masonic light and knowledge." Th<J&&

'who have been admitted, I say with pride, are all" material fit for the builder's use." I cannot close this paragrapll concerning Montezuma Lodge without expressing my thanks to Bro. David J. )liller, the very efficient and worthy Secretary, for tIle uniform kindness and courtesy shown towards me by him in our official interoourse. I also bave to thank the gecretaty of Aztec Lodge, particularl~y, and the Secretary of Chapman Lodge, for their zealous promptness in attending to the interests of the order. I must not conclude this without expressing my most sincere thanks to Bro. Past Master Kirby Benedict for the great assistance he has rendered nle during the year, in giving valuable instruction and lectures in the work to the brethren of the Lodges ,vithin my jurisdiction. Ill-health. and business engagements l)revented me from attending to these luatters, and so I was very glad to have the opportunity of availing myself of his valuable services 011 different occasions, us my representative. He is no\v on a l)rofesslonal trip to the southerl~ part of the Territory, and will visit Aztec Lodge, and exemplify the wo:tk and lecture 011 the three degrees, and make due return to me thereof.

In OonQlusion.-The order in New Mexico, I am pleabcd to add, ,vere never in a more prosperous, heal thy and flourishing condition than at present. Peace and harlllony prevail in an eminent degree among the brethren, '\vith every prospect of such being thf\ nasa for a long tiIne to come. In view of the fact that many who h~nre

+' long groped in darkness" are approaching our doors "ill

search of light," r have been careful to impress it upon the brethren to U guard well the outer doors," and to let none but those who ue found worthy so to do enter therein. They so understand this point that I am confident they will "govern themselves accordingly." Finally, Most Worshipful Grand Master, I return ryou my most sIncere thanks for the honor again conferred upon me, in being appointed D. D. G. M. of this Dist.rict.

With my best wishes for the welfare of our beloved fraternit~y, and for the good health and prosperity of yourself, as the worthy representative head of the Order, in the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of ~Iissouri, I remain, Yours, truly and fraternally,

llesolved, rrhut when charges are preferred against a Mason, and those charges have been entertained by the Lodge, and a time set for trial, that such l\lason cannot be considered in good Masonic standing until his innocence has been established by the verdict of his brethren. Approved October, 1869. [Fron~ 1"elJOrt

oj Convn. ittee on G1路ic'v ance.]

rrhis case involves the question of the status of a Mason while under charges, and as there is a difference of opinion upon this inlportant question, we shall briefly give our opinions upon the la\v.

We hold no po,ver on earth can deprive a ~faster Mason of that inalienable right of equality, and the exercise of that right in the I.lodge except upon trial and conviction by the Lodge. Any other construction of this law would stUltify the action of this body, \vhich has rightly and justly declared that, no Masoll can be deprived of his rights except by trial and conviction, ano any other

construction of this law would put to shame our boasted claim of Charity, as we would fall below the common law of the land, which presunles anyone innocent until he is, by trial, proved guilty. Approved October, 1869. Justice requires that charges should be definite, so as to allow the accused the opportullit:r to defend specifically, yet there are cases that do not requir~ specifications of time and place, as the evidence will determine that, and the accused can question the witnesses and elicit the truth. Approved October, 1869.

Resolvecl, That the Election of Officers of the Grand Lodge shall take place on Wednesday morning of the session, immedtately after the reading of the journal, until otherwise ordered. Apl)rOved October, 1869.

Resolved, That at least one-half of the aggregate Fees for the Throe Degrees ought to be deposited with the petition for initiation. Approved October, 186fL

Resolved, That Section 21, of Article xviii, of the By-Laws of this Grand Lodge, be amended to read as follows: "Whenever a charge, or charges, shall be exhibited against a member of the Grand Lodge, growing out of his official conduct, the Granel Master, on receipt of the same, shall cause a true copy to be served on the accused, and if, after investigation, be believe the charge or charges to be without sufficient foundation, he shall report accordingly to the next Grand Lodge; but if the Grand Master believe the charge or charges to be well founded, he shall forthwith suspend the accused from the exercise of his privileges as a menlber of the Grand J..Jodge, and cite him to appear before the Grand Lodge at its next meeting, to answer to the charge, or charges, exhibited against him; Provided, that a Master of a Lodge shall be aUlenaLle to the Grand Lodge alone for unmasonic or humoral condnct. " Approved October, l8B9. In all cases of appeals arising in this jurisdiction, the records of such shall be forwarded to the Grand Secretary, at least one month before each annual communication of this Grand I~ody. Approved October, 1869.

[Oct.

Thr following Deci8ions of the Grand lfIastc'r tvCre adopted October, 1869. L The decisions of a Grand Master are not valid after being reported to the Grand Lodge, unless confirmed by the Grand Lodge.

2. It is competent for a Lodge to try its menlbers, irrespective of any legal procedure that may be at the time pending. Relative to the decision of the M. W. Grand Master, that Grand Masters Inay interfere in cases after trial and verdict, your committee are of the opinion that it is the duty of the Grand Master to protect and defend the execution of the laws; and if in his jUdgment the established law of the Grand Lodge has been Violated, and great injustice done thereby, it is his right to have the matter corrected by a llew trial; but where it is a question ONLY OP OPINION as to the guilt or innocence of the party, by the evidence, we hold that it is not in the l10wer of the Grand Master to set aside the verdict, or to order a trial until it has been reported to and acted upon in Grand Lodge. :L Master l\'Iasol1s raised in Lodges in this jurisdiction are ipso facto members without further ballot, except "\vhere the work has' been done for another Lodge, then the Brother is a member of the

Lodge which made the request.

4. Every resident member should bo summoned to attend trials. 5. Relative to Section 24, Article xviii., Grand Lodge ByLaws, your committee decide that said section was not intended to be so construed that a member should be expelled without trial, but that he is entitled to a trial and may be expelled. G.

A Mason cannot be expelled for non-paYlnent of dues.

A candidate cannot be advanced fronl one degree to another

ill the face of objections by a mernber.

8. A member cannot disclose :Ris ballot, and if he do, the rejection for initiation still stands for twelve months. 9. No member can be del)rived of his right to vote, or other privileges, without a fair trial. Such action is in direct violation of the resolutions adopted by this Grand Lodge in 1867. 10. All By-La,vs which suspend a member after ~t certain time for non-payment of dues, without a trial, are illegal and void.

Also, that a member cannot demit at a special meeting. 11. It is the duty of the W .. lVI. to fill all positions in thp Lodge whieh are made by appointment.

1869.J

Appertdix.

495

1~. It is proper to withdraw a petition of one totally disqualified to receive the Mysteries of Masonry, as all such petitions are ip,')o facto null and void. 13. Ballots must be had on all petitions, whether the e0111Dlittee report favorably or unfavorably.

14. It requires the unanimous consent of all the members to grant anoth~r Lodge the privilege to confer degrees, or to waive jurisdiction. PRESENT

15. Officers elect cannot be installed by proxy.

16. A menlber has the right to object to the introduction of a visitor. 17. E. A's and F. C's lllust be re-exalnined each time they apply after rejection. 18. .t\.Il rejected applicants for lnenlberbhip 111Ust file a ne'\v petition before another ballot. 19. ...-\ Lodge can adopt a by-la\v raising its bcale of dues without first obtaining the approval of the Grand Lodge. It is the INDEFEASIBI.JE RIGHT of a Lodge to nlake By-Laws, and that they are valid until reversed by the Grand Lodge. PROVIDED they are not ipso facto contrary to any existing laws of the Grand Lodge. 20. No one is entitled to the title of an actual PU&t Master \vho has not been duly elected and installed as Master of ~t chartered Lodge. 21. District Deputy Grand Masters should, under the direction of the Most Worshipful Grand Master, share Inore fully the duties of correspondence and oversight of the Craft in their respective districts. No DispensatiollE> ~hould be issued until the District Deputy Grand Mabter shall first have reported on and endorsed the petitioll.

22. Arlnyofficers cannot receive the degrees ill a shorter tinle than that fixed by law. 23. In all trials l)aper ballots bhould be used inbtead of balls, and that the decision of the voting member shall be written thereon as to guilt or punishment; and that no ballot shall be counted upon which nothing is written. GRAND ORlEN'l' OF FRANCE AND LOUISIANA.

lVher"eas, There exists in the State of Louisiana a so-called Supreme Council of the A. and A. S. Rite, which presumes to invade

Appendix.

[Oct

the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge in that State, by granting charters to symbolic Lodges; and,

Whereas, This Grand Lodge does not recognize in any State or rrerritory the supreme Masonic jurisdiction of more than one Grand Lodge duly organized in such State or Territory, and cannot tolerate a divided and rival power; and, ltV herteas, The spurious and usurping Council in Louisiana has been recognized and ai<1ed by the Grand Orient of France, as all enemy of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, thereby di&turbing the !)eace and harmony of a sister jurisdiction with "\vhonl ,ve are in fraternal correspondence; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the ~Iasonic intercour&e bet,veen the Grand Lodge of Missouri and the Grand Orient of France be, and Ib hereby suspended, until said Grand Orient shall relnedy the injustice she has done the Grand Lodge of touisiana, by totally with.. drawing all l\Iasonic recognition fronl the SUpre111e Council of Louisiana. Approved October, 1869. RESOLUTION.

ResOlved, rrhat every degree in which ,vork is to be done by the ::,ubordinate Lodges in this jurisdiction, be required to be regularly opened with the ceremonies for that purpose, as authorized by this Grand Lodge. Approved October, 1869.
