BRETHREN OF THE GRAND LODGE OF IVlIssOURI:

It is with unfeigned regret that I have to announce to you my inability to meet with you in Grand Lodge, and I assure you that nothing of an ordinary chara.cter would prevent me from the pleasure of such a desirable event, but my own private affairs demand my strict attention. In my official capacity, I have ordered three Dispensations, which will more fully appear from the report of Grand Secretary, and I have ordered the continuance of the dispensation at Allensville to the present communication. The reports of the District Deputy Grand :Masters forwarded to

GRAND LODGE A. F. A. MASONS

me, are herewith transmitted for your consideration; they indicate a healthy state, and harmonious action of the l::fb under their charge. Indeed, so far as my knowledge extends, as to the feelings and workings of,the fraternity are concerned, I feel authorised to say that, at no time for years, have so much good feeling and brotherly love prevailed with us than at preeent. It is, however, lamentably true that such has not been the case all the time during the past year, and I assure you, my Brethren, but for the fact, that I deem it my bounden duty, I would gladly pass over in silence and sorrow, the conduct of some of our Brethren, during the past year. It will be recollected that, at the last Grand Lodge, it was determine~ "to close the Masonic College at Lexington sine die." It seems that that determination excited some of our Brethren, and aroused their masonic feelings to such an extent, as to force them to undertake the task of causing the Grand Lodge to retrace her steps, and save or redeem her (as they intimate), forfeited honor.

In the first place, there seems to have been a convention 01 master masons at Lexington, on 24th of June last, to c,onsider the action of the Grand Lodge, in closing the masonic college, at which convention Past G. M. J. F. Ryland presided. The said convention further proceeded to appoint a committee to address the subordinate CEJ upon the subject. 'Then this convention qf master masons resolved to call a convention, and requests all the Câ&#x201A;ŹJ in the State to send delegates to the said convention, which was to meet on the 12th day of October, 1859. Then comes a circular from twenty-nine Brethren, assumiilg to be a protest against the action of the G. Lodge, in relation to closing the college, but really it seems to me that its prime object was to induce the Grand Master to convene the Grand Lodge in extra. session, a.nd that too at Lexington, on the thirteenth day of October, just the next day after the cele, brated convention of master masons and CEJ should assemble. A singul~r coincidence, indeed, P!esuming. that. there was no understanding with the parties to the convention, and the parties to the protest. Circumstantial evidence in the courts is said to be

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI. I

sotnetimes the most reliable, when the circumstances connect the parties. This whole case will more fully appear upon an examination of the documents herewhh transmitted, in relation to this whole matter, marked A and B. Upon the receipt of the address of the Committee appointed by the convention, at Lexington, over which Past Gr. Master J. F. Ryland presided, I issued an-order to the subordinate CÂŁ:J under the jurisdiction of this Grand Lodge, requiring them to abstain from any participation in said proposed convention at Lexington, characterising the same as "irregular and unmasonic." This action of mine, as Grand Master of the State, I cheerfully submit to your consideration and action, and notwithstanding some anonymous scribler in the Lexington Express, and some letter writer to me, have charged that I have an adviser, I assure yo~, my Brethren, that I acted without advice from anyone; at the same time I would hn.ve been truly glad to have had the advice of more experienced masons, but conscious of my own intentions, I fearlessly assumed the responsibility,' and issued the order. Now, my Brethren, if a few masons in Grand Lodge fail to accomplish what they may dcsire~ have the right to protest against the action of the Grand Lodge, and to appeal to the subordinate CE::J , bv calling a convention, to dÂŁcuss, condemn, de1Jounce, and rejJudiate the action of the Grand Lodge, I ask in that case, 'That has become of the power of the Grand Lodge? It is reduced to a very small compass, and had as well be dispensed with altogether. If the Grand Lodge intends to sustain and uphold her dignity and prerogative, she ought, in my mature opinion, to hold to a most strict account those Brethren who have been engaged in this, as I conceive, most unwarrantable affair. That all men ha\'c the natural right to resist any government under which they live, no one doubts; but at the same time, they subject themselves to the penalties incurred by such resistance. So with these Brethren, if they rely upon their natural right to act as they luwe done. Let them stand up like men, and say so, but to claim the right to do so, under the laws and m;ages of Freemasonry, will be, I think, condemned by all thinking masons who are unpr0,judiced; and desire the peace, harmony nnd prosperity

GP.AND LODGE A. F. A. MASONS

of the craft. The point made by these brethren, "that the college was permn.nently located at Lexington, and that the Grand Lodge 1S in honor bound to maintain it, is not sustained, in my judgment, by sound logic or common sense; first, because at the same time the college was located at Lexington, the Grand Lodge passed a resolution, that she could remove it, thereby showing most clearly that she retained that right. Common sense teaches us that, when men or parties make an arrangement for the mutual benefit of both, and either retains the right to withdraw from such arrangement, that party retaining the right to withdraw, most certaiuly can do 80, without a f01feiture of its honor or integrity, and particularly when it is made to appcn.r that the arrangement gone into is operating to the injury and disadvantage of the party having the right to withdraw, as in the case of the Grn.nd Lodge and the masonic college. As to the legal liability of the Grand Lodge to the citizens of Lexington and I.Jafn.:rette county, I do not suppose for one lliornent, that any person ever gave one single dollar to that college with the belief and understanding, that the Grand Lodge was to continue the college there forever, however disastrous and expensive it migh.t be to the Grand Lodge to do so, or be responsible and liable to pay back the sums so given. Again, upon the score of equity and justice, it is charged, that the citizens of Lexington and Lafayette county have subscribed, and nearly paid up thirty thousand dollars to the use of the college. IT or the argument let us aclrnit that; then, to meet that outla.y on the part of the citizens of I.Jexington and Lafayette county, what sum has the Grand Lodge paid out, in the same time, to sustain the college at Lexington, and who has received the benefit? You have only to turn to reports made to the Grand Loclge's expenditures for the support of the college since its location at Lexington. There you will find that, for that purposc, the Grand Lodge has paiu. a much larger sum. Then examine again the list of students attending that college, and see who has recei \'ed the benefits from the college: the citizens of Lexington a.nd Lafayettc county, or the Grand Lodge? I cannot sec upon a careful examination of this subject, the least particle of obligation, morally or lega.lly, that the Gr:1no. Louge is under, to

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

continue the college at Lexington, or to pay back the sums paid by the citizens of Lexington aRd Lafayette county. However, I say this, that if there is a legal liability resting upon the Grand Lodge to refund the money, and if, after the citizens of Lexington and Lafayette county have received such benefits from the college, at the expense of the Grand Lodge, they choose to claim that sum, then let them do so, and the Grand Lodge, no doubt, will pay it. There are two facts connected with this affair of those protesting brethern, which should, in my opinion, convince them, and every-one else, that they have entirely mistaken the feelings of the craft and CEJ. It will be recollected, that these brethren professed to believe, that a great many CEJ would surrender their charters, on account of the action of thtl Grand Lodge, 'in closing the College, when no 0 that I have heard of, has even attempted to do so. And again, after all their efforts to induce the subordinate CE:J to call upon the Grand Master to convene the Gr.::.nd Lodge, but eight CEJ in the State responded favorably. This is conclusive, that these brethren are contending against an overwhelming majority of the craft. 1\1y Brethren, I submit these matters to your consideration, having no doubt but you will do right in the matter, and render justice to all as well as support the dignity and supremacy of the Grand Lodge. Bro. Henderson, who was appointed in pursuance of resolution of last Grand Lodge, to take charge of masonic college, has done so and had the repairs made according to appropriation, and under my advise he let the building, or a portion of it, to be used for teaching a common school, all of which, I presume, he will report to you. I have drawn a warrant upon the Grand Treasurer in favor of Bro. Currie for balance due him from Grand Lodge, as per acct. herewith transmitted, certified by Sec. of B. Curators. I executed a deed to tract of land in Ray county, which had been heretofore sold by an agent of the GraTid Lodge, and ordered the deed to be delivered to the proper party upon the payment of the balance of the purchase money, which will fully appear by the report of the curators. I trust, my Brethren, that your deliberations will be marked

~IARCUS BOYD,

Grand Master of Grand Lodge of Missouri.

Dear Sir and Brother-In accordance with the by-la.ws of the Grand 0, I herewith submit my report as D. D. G. 1'1:. £01' the 2d District: St. Joseph 0, No. 78, has a large membership, and is in a prosperous condition. Her officers and many of her members are well posted in the work, and attend to their Masonic duties promptly. A stl·ict adherence to the by-law which requires a candidate to be proficient before he can proceed with the dcgreesand a desire to see who can best 'Work and best agree--have made her the brightt;st 0 in my district. Allensville 0, U. D., is now working tolerably well, and the members express a. great desire to conrorm as near as they can to the authorized work of the Grand D. Zeradatha 0 No. 189, was organized under her charter last June. After installing the officers, I gave them such instructions about the work as I thought necessary. The :Master and \Vardens are well qualified to do good work, and I am well satisfied that they will work on nothing but good material. Easton 0 No. 101, is prospering in numbers as fast as is necessary in a small town. The rules of the Grand 0, in regard to profanity and intemperance, are strictly enforced, which makes. Masonry occupy a high position in the neighbol'hood. Stewartsville No. 182, was organized in June last. I installed her officers and suggested some changes in the work. Have not had an opportunity of visiting them since, but learn

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

from the members that they arc in a prosperous condition, and that peace and harmony prevails. The officers are well posted in the work. Berming 0 No. 150, i3 in a prosperous condition, peace and harmony prevails with the members. The officers ate active and prompt in the discharge of their duties; and the metnbers generally take a great interest ln Masonry. Gentryville 0 No. 125, is doing as much work as is conducive to health, and doing it as well {is could be expected from a 0 that has never been visited (until lately) by a Gr. Lecturer or D. D. G. M. The members are very anxious to learn the true work, and are dispo3cd to enforce the rules and regulations of the Grand LJ rigidly. Maysville 0 No. 62, is in a backward condition, the members attend the communications very badly, and but a few of them pay their dues. I regret to say that many of them are very intemperate, and some of them addicted to profane swearing, and others to gambling. In my visit to them I urged tbe necessity of a 'strict adheran~e to the rules of the Grand 0, but have since learned that no attention was paid to my advice. 'Wellington 0 No. ~2, has been for some time in a'n unpleasant condition, on account of difficulties between one of her members and a non路affiliated brother, which resulted in a trial and a reprimand to both pn,rties-on account of this she has not been able to do much work. The rule~ of the Grand 0, in regard to profanity and intemperance 8Te tolerably well enforced. The accounts are well kept, and the members are beginning again to take an interest in Masonry. Athens 0 No. 127, is路 doing good 1Tork and out of the belSt material, and has increased in numbers, in the last year, as rapidly as is conducive to health. Her records and accounts are well kept, and dues promptly paid. It is a pleasant reflection that the C拢J in my di~trict arc ~enerally enjoying a good degree of pro~perity; they have all been visited by me or my Deputy P. 1\1. Samuel Russen, and such instructions given as time and opportunity would permit. The lodge buildings throughout my district are in good order, and

GRAND LODGE A. F. A. MASONS

some of them will compare with any in the state. I find, in visiting the CE::J a great want of uniformity in the by·laws. Some have a few simple rules, while others contain nearly half the Book of Constitutions, and many things not Masonic. This induces me to believe that the custom adopted in some other state~, of having a uniform code for the government of subordinates, would be of great benefit to the craft in our state. I ha.ve been applied to in three cases to grant di8pensatlOns to confer more than one degree upon a ca.ndidate at the same communication, all of which I declined, giving them satisfactory reasons. The above is respectfully and fraternally submitted.

M. W. G.

MASTER :MARCUS BOYD,

Dear Sir and Brother-The undersigned~ as D. D. G. Master of District No.3, respectfully report that since receiving from you the appointment of D. D. G. Master, I have visited but few of the CEJ in this district, and was prevented from visiting all of them from unavoidable circumstances. Some of the C€J visited by me werOe visited in the abssnce of regular or called meetings, but on the examination of their records I found them in a great measure correct. In the month of March I was notified of a difficulty which originated between the W. M. and a member of Ridgley 0 No. 135. Charges having been preferred against them a.nd a. special meeting called to try the case, I went up and suspended the W. M. and proceeded to try the case. The offending brothers both plead guilty to the cha.rges preferred, and upon ta.king a vote of the 0, they decided that they shou1cl be reprimanded only, which was done-and after giving ft, short le~ture on the principles of )-lasonry, the 0 closed in due form. I visited Central 0 No. 15, on the 9th of May. I find some

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

discrepancy in their record, and a general want of Masonic information. The brothers present manifested a great desire to learn, etc. I have granted but one dispensation this year. On the 5th of I\1ay I visited Greenville, Clay county, for the purpose of setting the brethren to work there, under dispensation, under the care of brother L. M. Lewis as :Mastcr. Owing to the irregularity of the mail they did not get my appointment, in consequence of which the Master and many of tho brethren were absent-being under the necessity of returning home, I deputized R. W. A. J. Calhoun, of Liberty, to act in my place, and according to his report he met the 0 on the 8th, and set them to work under the dispensation. Platte 0 No. ~S, and Weston 0 No. 53, I have visited and assisted them in their work. My impression is, that neither of them adhere as closely to the work and lecture recognized by the Grand Lodge of Masons, as they should. Upon the whole I am of the opinion that much more attention should be given by the officers of the Câ&#x201A;ŹJ generally, than is, in qualifying themselves for the important stations they haye been called to fill. Very respectfully yours,

SAML. I\f. HAYS, D. D. G. .M. District Xo. 3.

The undersigned Deputy Gra.nd Master of District No.5, most respcctfnlly and fraternally reports, That masonry in said District is in a prosperous condition. I am not advised of any disscntions or strife in any of the CE:J, or its brethren.

GRA..'1\ffiLODGE A. F. A. MASONS

That Dispensations have been issued upon my order to Pleasant Ridge 0, New Town 0 and Unionville D. The first, I believe, before my last report, and the other two since. Pleasant Ridge and New Town CÂŁtJ have been regularly set to work, and as far as I am advised, are doing well. I have authodzed a Brother well qualified to meet with, and organize, Unionville D. He has not advised me as yet of its organization. Hoping this may find you in health, and that you may long behold a united and virtuous brotherhood in our land ever diligent and faithful in the dissemination of the true principles and cardinal virtues of our ancient and honor~ble order, allow me, most honored sir, to sllbscribe myself fraternally, yo.urs,

'V. l\lARctJs BOYD, Grand Ma.ster of Grand Lodge of :\fissouri.

Dear Sir and Brother-In accordance with the duties devolving upon me by the official relations between the G. :M. of the G. 0 of Mo. and myself as D. D. G. M., I proceed to render to you an account of my stewardship for the past masonic year. I regret to ÂŁay that I have been unable, from circumstances over which I had no control, to visit all the CEJ in this jurisdiction, hut that I have visited, I believe, a majority of them. Some I have found in a 'fine flourishing condition, others not doing so well, and one or two in a condition~ that, in my opinion, will require some action of the Grand d to straighten them up. The Cfb I refer to, are 'Vinchester K o. 177, and Alexll.ndria No. 69, both in Clark county.

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

The Winchester 0 I found at work, and had been for more. than a year without consecration or instalment of any of her officers, after receiving a charter. Believing that they were working illegally, I caused, or rather installed the original officers named in the charter, and set them legally to work, since which time they have done well. Previous to their installment, they had conferred the different degrees on various persons. Question-Are they upon whom these degrees have been confered, masons.'l If they are, then no action of the G. 0 is necessary; if they are not, then I think the G. ought to heal them, as it is not their fault, but the fault of Winchester 0, and moreover they are worthy men.

I visited the Alexandria

habit of balloting not only for Initiation and Passing, but also for Raising, and all other business, with less than seven members present. This I found to be the case from various members of the 0, and I have no doubt, their record will establish the fact. I did n{)t examine the record, from the fact that on the morning after the meeting when I called for it, the W. M. had left town with the key of their desk, and the record could not ,be had.

MARCUS BOYD,

Grand Master of Grand Lodge of Missouri.

The undersigned Deputy D. Grand Master of the 9th District, composed of the counties of Marion, Monroe, Shelby and Ralls, would respectfully and fraternally report, That I have visited all the CEb, viz.: St. John's No. 28, Hannibal No. 188, Palmyra No. 18, St. Andrew's No. 96~ Madison No. 91, Middle Grove No. 42, Paris Union No. 19, Florida. No. 23, Ralls No. 33, Frankford No. 193, New London No. 21, and find them generally enjoying a good degree of prosperity. I regret, that other duties prevented me from remaining as long with some of the 4b as would have been profitable. There is a strong desire, on the part of the members, to enquire and search for light and knowledge in masonry. It is a satisfaction to be able to state, that a large majority of the CE!:J in this District will compare favorably with any in th~ State. There are a few, however, for want of sufficient interest or a proper attention to the laws and resolutions of the Grand 0 that do not follow out the true principles and teaching of masonry. I visited Frankford 0 on the 10th day of June last, and proceeded to constitute and dedicate the C\ and install their officers. On the 24th of June, I attended on Hannibal 0, dedicated the Hall, and installed their officers. I have recommended the granting of one Dispensation to open a new 0 at the town of Shelbina, Shelby county. Bro. George T. Hill, W. 1\-1. Upon the receipt of the petition of a constitutional number of Brethren duly recommended by St. Andrews 0 No. 96, Shelbyville, I proceeded to examine the persona proposed as the three first officers of the new 0 , at Shelbina, and found them competent to confer the three Degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry, according to the work 8tmctioned by the Grand 0 of :Missouri, or as nearly as may be found ill the generality of 路working LEb. They have built a good Hall, and made eyery arrangement to meet the requirements of the Grand D. I have nothing further to report.

Dear Sir and Brother-Since the last session of the Gr. D. there has been no particular change in the conductIOn of the CÂŁJ in this District. The several returns to the Rt. 'V. Gr. Secretary will show a steady increase of members in most of the CÂŁJ, and I trust, of the proper material; but time alone will develop the results both in the individual and the fraternity. 'Vaverly 0 No. 114 did on the 28th day of January last surrender her charter, and Bro. J. F. Yancy and others (former members of the old D), immediately applied for a dispensation to open a new 0 , and I granted their requcBt, and appointed Bro. J.

I herewith submit my annual report for the present masonic year, in pursuance of the laws of the Grand D. In September"last, I, in company with :Bro. A. M. Tutt, P. D. D. G. :M., visited Quincy 0, U. D., where, unfortunately, a difficulty among the members had been waging for same time. The feeling was intense and bitter, and the dissentiona in the 0 had become a stereotyped street-corner topic among the outsiders. I called a meeting of the 0 , and after hearing all sides, and being convinced, that the Rough Ashlar had been laid aside before ~1l the material composing the 0 was fit for the builder's use, and that masonry at Quincy, tinder all circumstances, would bccume a burning reproach, I suspended work, of which I have previously advised you. I herewith return the dispensation, books and paper~ belonging to the D-the furniture is of no value. My health, as you a.re aware, bas been such during the sommer 1 that I could not visit the C€J in the district. All the CEl, how~ ever, I have heard from, the;' are aU getting along harmoniously, and good feeling and brotherly love prevails. Our Rt. W. G. Lecturer, A.

IJear Sir-In compliance with the requirements of the ByLaws of the Grand 0, it is my duty to report annually "the state of masonry within my jurisdiction, and suggest such measures as to me may appear c.onducive to the general goO]." In compliance with that requirement, last year I reported the state of masonry in my district, and also the feelings of the CÂŁb therein, in regard to the college question, and made such suggestions as I thought of sufficient importamJe to deserve notice. The Grand Master acknowledged the reception of the report, but did not have it published with the others, as required by the Grand 0 to do. Not wishing again to make a report so obnoxious as to forbid its publication', I hereby report the state of masonry in this district, good; the condition of the L2J, good; and that the reports from the several Cfb to me are all good.

I greatly regret that I have not been able to render the craft of my diRtrict more service, in visitation, etc. The heavy demands for my labor in other departments of duty, I trust, will be received as a satisfactory reason for this.seeming inattention. I have visited but three CEtJ of my district, Bloomington, No. 102, McGee, No. 146, and Thomasville, No. 161. The last one I organized under their charter, granted them at the last Grand Communication, soon after its reception. In consequence of the death of our brother Edmonston, the W. M. mentioned in the charter, I held an election for W. M. at their organization, which resulted in brother J. L. Fort's being called to that chair. The brethren of the CEJ visited seem to be working harmoniously and for the advancement of the principles of Ancient Free ~1:asonry. I have had direct information from some of the other CftJ of this district, from which I was pleased to learn that the work is in zealous and safe hands. Most fraternally,

During the year I have visited, as far as time permitted, the Some I have been obliged to omit, because in the pressure of professional duty it was impossible to give the notice required by law of my official visits.

C2J of my district.

Nothing of remark has occurred, except that during the year I received notice that Oriental 0 No. 33, under the jurisdiction of the Grand 0 of lliincis, had been making masonR in a manner not prescribed by the landmarks of masonry. I immediately issued an edict to the various CÂŁJ in my district, forbidding them until further order, to receive as visitors any members of said Oriental 0 , being desirous that the issue thus made should be passed upon by the Grand D.

I would most respectfully suggest that the C2J of the City of St. Louis be erected into one district. It is impossible, that one brother can successfully supervise more than that number.

All of which is respectfully submitted. JOHN DECKER, D. D. G. M. of 24th District.

dearing influences of home, we must have constant regard to the "point within the circle" and its teachings. The Grand Master feelingly alludes to the death of Bros. John A. Whetstone and Syd. Smith, P. D. Gr. :Masters, and Vlm. A. Ferrell, P. G. Lecturer. These Brethren as well as their masonic virtues were known to many of the masons of Alabama, and grateful memories will no doubt preserve a recollection of their devotion to our order. Within the past year, the following was propounded to the Gr. Master from two different sources: "'\Vhether a brother committing suicide, under the influence of delirium tremens, should be buried with masonic honors?" And the Gr. Master from a desire "not to obstruct in the ceremony the gushings of the masonic heart with sympathy, or to refuse to extend the broad路 mantle of charity over the foibles of a fallen brother, did not deem it necessary to interdict by his authority the performance of this ceremony, but left it to the wisdom and discretion of the subordinate Cfb." With due deference to the opinions of the Gr. Master of Alabama, your Committee lCy compelled to dissent from his action. It should have been clear and decided. A suicide should not have the last sad honors of masonry performed over his grave; nor should the "broad mantle of charity" be so strained as to rend it in twain; it cannot by any extension be made to cover the guilt of him, who in despite of the teachings of freemasonry will first by continual dissipation unseat reason from its throne, and then with suicidal hands destroy that life which God for noble purposes had given him. "Thou shalt not kill," was one of those commandments delivered to J\!Ioses amid thunder and lightning. It is one of the rules in the "Book of the Law," given to us as masons, and which we must not violate with impunity, and when violated, no false delicacy should prevent us from vindicating before the world, the purity and morality of our order. "Ve emphatically deny, that a suicide should have masonic burial. The Gr. Master received several petitions asking dispensations to confer Degrees in cases of emergency, all of which he refused, and very properly. There can be no case of emergency in masonry, for it is not of vital importance to our time-honored insti-

tution, if there was not another mason made for the next twentyfive years. We will allude to this subject in another part of our report. Bro. S. A. M. Wood, Chairman on F. C., presented his report reviewing with his accustomed ability the proceedings of the several Grand CÂŁJ. Our Brother commenting on our report of last year, in reference to non-affiliated masons, says: "Masonry is voluntary, in so far as concerns its active duties. Its obligations are binding for life-such as the necessity of being men of honor and honesty, as obeying the moral law, and living creditably and acting honorably by all men. From these duties no demit, no withdrawal, no power can free that man who has taken upon himself the name of a Free and Accepted Mason. He may, however, withdraw from active labor in the quarries. He may take no delight in doing good; he ma.y cease his acts of brotherly love, of relieving the distressed, of social intercourse, of membership in a 0; but by thus becoming a useless and fruitless tree, he may be, and of right ought to be cut off from the benefits of masonry. The lodge should then withdraw from him. The covenant is mutual, and he has no right to expect that from me which he declines to yield to any brother. Hence, his funeral I will not attend as a mason; his calls for relief I listen to only as from one of the millions of unfortunates that fill our earth; and the tie of brotherhood is severed by his act, not mine." For the kind manner in which our brother speaks of the faithfulness and diligence of the Grand Secretary, your committee return thanks. Bro. Wood has been appointed to write The History of Freemasonry in Albama, for publication by the Grand D. From'the well known zeal and talent of the brother, the work could not be confided to more competent hands. The communication of the Grand 0 appears to have been conducted in hn,rmony, and closed on the 9th Dec., the session having lasted five cbys. M. 'V. R. H. Ervin, Camden, Gr. :Master; Rt. W. Dan.

The Annual Communica,tion of this Grand 0 was held in Little Rock, on the 7th Nov., 1859. M. W. Luke E. Barber, Gr. Master,presiding-77 CEb repre- . sented. The Grand Master reports that 13 Dispensations for the formation of new CEJ were issued within the past year. He recommends the "North American Masonic Congress" to the favorable consideration of the Grand 0, as also the "America.n Masonic Home" for the widows and orphans of Freemasons, to be established at 1Vashington City. Alluding to the condition of masonry, the Gr. l\laster uses the following language: "My information in relation to the conaition of masonry within our jurisdiction is mostly derived from my official correspondence with officers and members of CEJ. From this I learn that the order is, generally, in as healthy and flourishing a condition as we could reasonably expect. In some locations, however, it is languid and feeble, showing a want of zeal and of vitality. This is, to the true-hearted mason, a source of much regret. But a more serious consideration to me~ involving somewhat of apprehension, is pt'esented in the number of letters asking my advice in reference to charges of unmasonic conduct. I have been forcibly struck with the unusual number of trials for moral delinquencies during the past year-at least, the number presented to my notice, has been unusually great. To what cause to attribute this, I have been unable to determine. If to a more energetic effort} on the part of the worthy members, to discharge conscientiously their duty in purifying our CE:J from the contamination of the impure and worthless-a desire to cut off from our communion those whose lives are a olot and a disgrace to the order,~ then, I can freely and fully commend the spirit that Viould seem to have become active in our CEJ. But if the cause be tha.t an unusual number of our brethren have fa.llen during the past year into the 路ways of iniquity, how sad the train of recollection! Be it, however, the result of either cause, one thing is certain-and I pray you bear it in mind, for I intend it as a serious admonition

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

-there must have been in the past great negligence in those whose duty it was to guard our doors against the approach of those who were unfit to be initiated into our sacred mysteries-there must have been too easy a facility in the admission of those who should have been excluded-too little regard to the masonic standard of character. I am disposed to attribute nearly all the confusion that arises in our LEJ to this cause, the lukewarmness and want of zeal too often found to pervade them, the careless disregard of known duty sometimes seen-the existence of that large class known as non-affiliated ma~ns whose anomalous position is among, but not of us, is a visible reproach to the order, and however it may affect their own character and reputation, their relation to us seems ar.tagonistic and inimical. How careful, then, if these, or either of these, should be the evils inflIcted upon the order by th.e admission of unworthy members, should we be in weighing well the character and fitness of the applicant! But there seems to be little use in impressing upon our members the duty of guarding well the doors of our CEJ. It has been done from time_ to time, in this and other Grand CEJ; our Grand Masters and Committees have again and again warned our brethren in this respect, but as it would seem, the voice of warning has scarcely ceased to sound before it is forgotten or unheeded. I would that I knew some mode by which to impress it in indelible characters upon their hearts and minds." Your Committee will not add a word to that which the Grand Master has so truthfully written. Bro. Gallagher presented a Report on F. C., in 'Yhich he reviews the proceedings of the' Grand CEJ submitted to him, and closes in the following language: "Masonry has outlived its persecutors and its ill report. Its course is 3.S unruffled as a summer's s'ea, and now pursues, without check, its cause of charity and pure benevolence. From all parts of the Union, we hail the glad tidings of its success; and now, although the blush of success is mantling its front, nowhere has it proved untrue to its great caUing. " M. ,Yo E.

The Grand 0 assembled in the City of Sacramento, on the 10th of May, 1859-:M. W. N. Greene Curtis, Grand Master, presiding; 79 CEJ represented. Eight dispensations for the formation of new CEJ issued. The Grand :Master presented a well written address, containing an account of his doings, as Grand Master, during the past year; in it he feelingly alludes to the death of Bro. O. D. Chaffe, Grand Tyler. He complains of the initiation of a citizen of California, while on a visit to IYlassachusetts, by Tyrian 0, at Gloucester, and expresses his confidence that the oldest and most revered Masonic body upon this Continent will not permit such a violation of Masonic comity and usage on the part of its subordinates. From the report of the Grand Secretary we learn that the total receipts for the year ending March, 1859, was $9,504 50, and the disbursements during the same period was $9,031. The Grand Secretary, Bro. Abell, presented the report on Foreign Correspondence. Our brother feelingly alludes to a domestic calamity which has befallen him, the death of his dear wifemay Him who" tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" afford consolation and resignation to our brother, and enable him to bear this affliction as becomes a Mason. As usual, our Brother reviews, in a spirited manner, the proceedings of the several Grand CEJ, dwelling forcibly upon the "New Test," and the injustice done to Symbolic :Masonry, by attempting to enforce it. In particular he pays his respects to the Chairman on Foreign Correspondence of the Grand 0 of Nabraska, and successfully shows the inconsistency of the Brother, who, as Grand Orator, declares that" Hebrew, Assyrian, Jew and Gentile, Christian and Mahommedan can kneel at the altar of Free Masonry, and, in the perfect equality of truth and virtue, vow allegiance to its trusts." The report of the :Masonic Board of Relief of the City of San Francisco is, as usual, an interesting document. From it we learn that $3,700 has been expended, in 1858, in relieving the sick brethren thrown upon their charity, the widow and orphan,

OF TilE STATE OF MISSOURI.

and for funeral expenses. In this great work of benevolence the brethren acknowledge the liberality of the Pacific Steam Ship Company, and the California Steam Navigation Company. From the report of the Committee on Dispensations and Charters we extract the following, and recommend its careful perusal by our brethren of" this jurisdiction: " Your Committee are of the opinion that the Grand 0 should not permit, much less encourage, the Iormation of a new 0, under such circumstances. it being productive of discord in the legitimate body to which the Grand 0 has already confided the welfare of the craft within that jurisdiction. For ins~ance, an election is held, and aspirants for office do not succeed in obtaining the honors which they sought, or certain members fail in the accomplishment of some favored project, which they had in view, dissatisfaction ensues, and inharmonious feelings are engendered, a charter or dispensation for a new 0 is immediately applied for, and if the application is successful, then begins to exist that spirit of rivalry between C2J having concurrent jurisdiction, the formation of one of which was the result of bad feeling, and the nonrecognition of those true fraternal relations which should ever exist in a l\iasonic D. This, your Committee be1ieve~ is but the legitimate consequence resulting from the granting of a charter or dispensation under such circumstances." On the last day of the session an intere3ting Historical address Was delivered before the members of the Grand 0, by the Grand Orator, Bro. James Lawrence English, after which the Grand officers were installed, and the Grand 0 was closed in ample form. M. W. N. Greene Curtis, Grand Master, Sacr'am'ento; Rt. W. Alexander G.

GRAND LODGE A. F. A. MASONS

Bro. E. Skinner, a worthy Brother, who for nearly a quarter of a century had guarded the outer door, and who with fidelity and zeal had .acquitted himself with honor and credit to the order of Masonry. Bro. Wm. Storer complains that C€J under the jurisdiction of the Grand CEJ of New York and Massachusetts, have been making Masons of persons living under the jurisdiction of the Grand D of Connecticut, and in order to effectually check such proceedings the following resolution was adopted: " Resolved, That no 0 under this jurisdictidn shall recognize, as s regular made Mason, a resident of this State, who may, during a temporary n.bsence the-refrom, receive the degrees in Masonry without the consent of the 0 under whose jurisdiction he may reside." The Grand Secretary prepared the report on Foreign Correspondence ; it covers 114 pages. On the establishment of new CE!:J our Brother says: "No Grand officer had power, in the jurisdiction of Connecticut, to create new [€:::I by dispensation until the year 1850, when a resolution was passed by the Grand 0, making it lawful for the Grand Master or Deputy Grand Master, during recess of the Grand D, to grant a dispensation for a new D." In noticing the proceedings of the Grand 0 of Ohio, Brother Storer says: "The M. W. Grand Master presented from his table the following question on Masonic polity: 'Is it legal to confer the degrees of Masonry upon a man who has one artificial leg, which in all respects resembles the natural one, and can be used in all the positions necessary for instruction l' This question (Bro. Storer co"ntinues) was not answered by the Grand Master, but referred to the Committee on J urlsprudence; and we do not find that this Committee gave any other answer than to tell what 'the pre-requisites, according to ancient usage, are.' We wish Bome of the 'wise men in the East,' of our Grand CEJ would look this question, and others of similar import, square in the face, and give us an answer, 'according to law.' , Is it legal l' is the question asked-not, does it accord with our opz'nion of ancient usage? 1£ the Grand 0 of Ohio has a law requiring

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

a candidate to be in possession of a. given number of legs and arms, it is obviously illegal for a 0, in that jurisdiction, to receive a candid:!te who has not those appendages. But in the jurisdiction of Connecticut, where the Grand 0 has enacted or adopted no regulation on the subject, we deem it perfectly legnl to confer the degrees of Masonry upon any man who is 'of good report and comes well recommended,' (provided he has a clear baUot,) without inquiring into the number of his arms ~.nd legs, or fingers and toes. If the possession of all these limbs is an , internal qualification,' then no man should be made a Mason without them; but, if they are merely external, then 'Masonry regards no man' for the possessiun of them. 1ÂŁ a Mason who was properly made, and has been properly instructed, is asked where he was first prepared to be made a Mason, we should not expect to hear him answer, that it was in his right arm, or his left leg, or his great toe. If a man is 'every whit whole,' in mind, in heart, and in moral character, without any legs but wooden ones, he will make a far better Ma~on than a man with sound limbs and rottenness at heart. Again, if a well-informed brother is asked.â&#x20AC;˘ what makes him a Mason, he will not say it is his legs or his arms that make him such; if he understands his duty and his obligation, he will have a far different answer to give. The use of arms and legs would undoubtedly be convenient, in some part of the ceremonials of Masonry; but we are not prepared to assert that they are indispensible to the legal reception of its mysteries. The attentive ear may receive the word from the instructive tongue, and the secrets of Masonry may be lodged in the sacred repository of a faithful breast, without the aid of these 'external appendages.'" The foregoing is strange doctrine to .be promulgated by so old and experienced a Mason a.s Brother Storer, and if true, would overthrow all our teachings relative to the physical qualifications of candidates for our mysteries. A change must have come over our respected Brother, as he did not always hold to the doctrine above enunciated, as we will endeavor to show: " The written Landmarks of Free Masonry are those immemorial laws and usages which have been handed down from age to

age, and from generation to generation, no one knowing whence they originated, and DO one having the right to alter or change them, but all being equally bound by a fair and liberal interpretation of them." These are contained in " The Old Charges of the F,路ee and .Ilccepted J.-Jasons," as originally published in Anderson's Constitutions, and republished by the Grar.d Lodge of :Mis80uri in the "Book of Constitutions." These six "Old . Charges" are recognized and acknowledged wherever the three degrees of Symbolic l\ilasonry according to the York Rite nre cultivated, and are as unchangeable and unchanging as it is possible for human laws to be, no body of Masons on earth having the authority to alter, change or amend them in the slightest partie... ular. "The Landmarks of the order," Baya Macky, "like the laws of the Medea and the Persians, can suffer no change; what they were centuries ago. they still remain, and must so continue in force until Masonry itself cease to exist." And again: "Certain qualifications of candidates for initiation are derived from a Landmark of the order. These qualifications are, that he shall be a man, shaH bl} unmutilated, &c.;" and in the fourth of the "Old Charges," we are told " that no master should take an apprentice unless he have sufficient employment for him, and unless he be a perfect youth, having no maim or defect in his body that may render him incapable of learning the art." And in like manner, a candidate " for the mysteries of Free Masonry must be in possession of 'legs and arms,' and be able to use them to the extent of acquiring, and, if need be, of teaching our mysteries in all their parts, without omission or change, and in that manner alone recognized by the universal brotherh0od of Masons." The above quoted Landmark iii fundamental in its nn ture and of universal application in ~fasonry, as much so, as that an appli~arlt for initiation to be successful must be ''free ~orn;" one is )拢 equal force and binding as the other, and neither are expressly nentioned in the by-laws of any Grand 0 that your Committee emember; they (the Landmarks) are above and beyond Grand EJ and grand 0 legislation. And now, to show that our good. friend and brother at one time

agreed with your Committee, we will can to our aid the doings of the General Grand Chapter of the United States. At the triennial session of. the Genel'al Gran.d Chapter in 1850 the following resoiutioll was submitted:

"Resolved, 'rhat a committee be appointed to report at the next triennial meeting whether any of the Chapter degrees may be confen-ed on persons maimed or otherwise imperfect in body." The committee consisted of Philip C. Tucker, of Vermont, Scott J. Tallman, of ~laine, and William T. Gould, of Georgia. In 1853, at the triennial session held at Lexington, Ky., Bl'other P. C. Tucker presented an able and conclusive report, predicated On the Ancient Charges, in which he hoids the following: "It is competent and, il/asonically, lawful for Royal

.I1'i'ch Chapters as well as Blue t::e::J to confer the respective

degrees of f.faso1lry properly cOIiferable by each, upon all candidates whose dl'fects (if bodily qualifications are not such as to prevent litem from conforming literally to what tlte several degrees respectz't'cly requires of tltem. If their physical capacities enable them to do this, they are admissible, and can comply with every requisition of the order." And a majority of the Committee on :Masonic Jurisprudence reported as follows:

"Resolved, That it is :Masonically illegal (italics our own) for Royal Arch Chapters to confer the degrees of Mark Master, Past :Master, 1\1. E. :Master and Royal Arch Mason on a brother master l\Iaeon who has lost a leg or an arm," and that report is signed by our Brother E. G. Storer, the writer of the report now under consideration. The Committee could not, we had almost said, da1'ul not, report otherwise with the Landmarks before quoted known to them. Your Committee arp. therefore of opinion that it is illegal to confer the degrees of "Masonry on one who has lost a leg or arm, This is the ruling of the Grand 0 of l\fissouri in 1823, and your Committee believe it to be sound doctrine in 1860.

The fifty-third Annual Communi~ation this Grand 0 was held in the city of 'Vilmington, 27th June, 1859-~I. 'V. John R. n-lcFee, Grand Master, presiding: 12 C2J represented. The Gi'and n-Iaster notic('s the death of P. G.M. Alexander Porter and P. Gr. Secretary Daniel Woll. Alluding to the lukew'armness of some of the CÂŁJ, he says: "It is a common error to suppose that 0 meetings are held for no other purpose than to increase its numbers and its funds, by initiating, passing and raising candidates, and thM to attend only when wurk is to be done is a fulfillment of the whole duty of a Mason. And it is no less error to imagine that a knowledge of its }'itual alone is a knowledge of :Masonry. A ~Ia30n may be perfectly acquainteJ with the ritual, and able to perform satisfactorily the work, but if he knows nothing else, what to him are the mysteries of those deep recesses that pertain to Masonry? 'If, therefore, tlle light that is in thee be darkness, how grea~ is that darkness!' Can the mere manual labor of the workman compare with the intelligence and skill of the master builder? Are there no bidden beauties in the order to be sought out and Lrought to light? No Masonic authors to be studied or Mnsonic subjects iuvcstigated '{ Where is tllC history, the antiquity, tiw juri~prudence, and the literature of Masonry? And what are its uses, aims, principles, philosophy and power? In order, therefore, to understand and appreciate the real mysteries of Masonry, they must be diligently and thoroughly studied, and the proper place in which to prosecute this study is the D." A curious case, which called for the interposition of the Grand :Master, is thus related by him: "I received on the 14th day of April last a communication from the V{orshipful Master of Wa~hington 0, No.1, informing of 1. O. O.

It will take place either in a church or large hall.' :My reply to the Worshlpfull\faster of Washington 0, No.1, was very nearly as follows: I have given the matter, a.s wa.s my duty, my careful consideration, and I have to say that I cannot gra.nt my permission to Washington 0, No.1, for any such purpose, for that, in my judgment, the contemplated presentation would be highly objectionable; would contravene the general policy of our ancient order; and would be prejudicial to the true interests of the craft in this State.

This Grand 0 convened in the City of Springfield, the 4th of October, 1859.-M. W. Ira A. "'V. Buck, GrandMaster, presiding.-223 C€:J represented. The Grand :Master presented a lengthy and interesting report, in which he states he issued 26 dispensations for the formation of C€J within the past year. He is alarmed at the increase, and saJs: " Better by far for our institution would it be, if more attention was paid to the right kind of material to be used in our temple, than to increase in number and in weak C2:J." "The past year," says the Grand Master "has fully demonstrated to me, that the possession of official rank and power, is not a post of ease and comfort; it soon becomes stripped of all that is alluring and fauciful, in the actual work of the office. It has given me a deep insight into the t~ue condition of our order; outwardly, it presents a flattering picture, but on close inspection, many painful truths are to be found. Dissensions, strife, and bitterness already rear their heads in our 0 rooms; extreme anxiety to hold official station in our CEJ, and the spirit of progress, as it is called, is continually devising new and better plans for the working of om' ancient and honorable institution, and extreme anxiety to have a large membership, regardless of the material. Masonry was never intended to make men, but to make Masons. Upon this point, there can be but one opinion. You will often hear a young and inexperienced brother say, in behalf of the petitioner: •• The 0 maiimprove him, may make (1, man of him." Shame on a brother that knows no better than this; for assuredly, he needs making oyer himself, if the pattern admit of it; and yet, unpleasant as the fa.ct may be, we have numbers of this calilJrc.

Under the helJ,d of "Avouchments," our Bro. remarks: " This right of avouchment is a landmark, we are to ascertain its true intent and me:wing. Your committee understand the matter of 'personal knowledge' to be an acquaintance with the Masonic proficiency and ability of the visitor, derived from an examination authorized by the Master, according to the tests and forms known to the craft, after the applicat:on to visit has been duly preferred. "Your committee understand that the avouchment: 'I have sat in o with him," to meltn that the voucher by his own skill and knowledge, must be able to state, that the 0 in which they sat, was a regular 0, and whether they sat in an Entered Apprentice's 0, a Fellow-Craft's, or a Master's."

CEJ represented. 10 Dispensations were issued during the pa8t year for the formation of new CEJ. This Grand 0 requires at least ten petitioners for a Dispensation. The Grand ~1aster, ill the exercise of his authority, "deposed" a :Master of a 0 from his office, for initiating an expelled Mason, kuowing him as such ~ under the belief or pretence, tha.t in so doing the candidate would be reinstated. It appears that our Iowa Brethren are consitlerably exercised about the" work," and thus far, they do not seem to have come to a satisfactory conclusion, as to what is legitimate, and what is not. 'Vith us, the difficulty is to find Brethren who are interested enough in masonry to learn the work adopted years ago by the Grand 0 of this State. The Grand 0, to its credit, published its proceedings from its organization to the present time, in two handsome volumes, at a cost of $2,293 75. Copies of which have been forwarded to, and acknowledged by this Grand D. The Grand Secretary, in his report, alludes to the unblushing schemes of electioneering practised in Grand 0 by outsiders as

The M. \Y. Grand )Iaster complains of unkindness exhibited towards him thro' your committee in his last year's report on F. C., and hopes no feeling of vindictiveness can have found a place in our bosom. If the 1\1. 'V. Grand Master will r~.flect upon a portion of his address in 185~, he will there find sufficient grounds to justify the language contained in our last report. Whenever a Grand ~1a.stcr or other officer so far forgets himself as to desccnd to personalities, he must expect a reply commenSllrate with the oflcnce given. Your Committee, in l1is l'eport of ] 857, indulged in a little harmless pl~asantry in commenting on the Grand Master's plan for an universal camp meeting; his comments up/)n that occasion, your Committee conceive can be no justification for the uncourteous rcmarks indulged in by the Grand Master Rees, in his address of 1858, and which are as unworthy of his position as a portion of them are destitute of truth. And, now; to answer the 1\1. "'". Grand ~111ster, as to the cllargcs directly made by your Committee, in llis report of last year. It is known to the old memhers of this Grand 0, that we had a law, atl lpteu in 1847, requiring non-affiliated Masons to pay three dollars per year to the 0 in whose jurisdiction he 1'88i<lc!1, and in the event of a refusal (he being able to pay) he was to be reportell to the Grand 0; this In.w causcll considerable trouLlc at the time, and your Committee in the llischarge of his duty, in 18-!!J, repurted several Masons (some of whom were wealthy tlllll influcHtlal) as failing to comply with the law. In t.he fn II of tlte (1)/)re year Gl'llnu Master Rees visited the town of Arrow HIlt).;, (fIr which your committee was then a resident,) and did, in the hearillg of your COlllmittee, and others! denonuce the law 3S unconstitutional, and that it ought not to be obeyed.

One in particular, an old and influential member of this Grand 0, 'When reading to him that portion of Grand Master Ree's Address, relative to this subject, requested me to give him as authority as to the truth of my statement, but I considered it unnecessary. And, now, having given "time, place and circumstan~es," your Committee trust that Grand Master Rees will be satisfied that the charge, contained in ollr report of last year, WtlS not lightly or hastily made; and that a Sir Knight of the nineteenth century, as he is pleased to call us, has only used (after unknightly treatment), in a legitimate manner, the weapons furnished us by the Grand ~faster. A pleasing incident occurred in Grand 0, namely, tIle presentation of a handsome and highly ornamented calle to Gr. Master Rees. The presentation address of the Grand Secretary was responded to by the Grand Master, in a forcible and eloqilent ll1anner~ and it was evident that he deeply appreciated this te~tiÂ mony of the esteem and regard of his brethren. The Grn,nd :Master, as chairman of a Committee to whom was referred the" Proceedings of a :Masonic Convention at Chicago," reported in favor of the "North American ~Iasonic Congress."

ed from i such a distinguished :Mason. Alluding to the earIy history of the Grand 0, he says: "This is the sixtieth Grand Annual Communication of the Gran~ 0 of Kentllcky, the mother Grand 0 of the Mississippi valley: For the first nine years-from October, 1800, to October, 1808-the Grand 0 met semi-annually; since that period its sessions have been annual. For the first time since 1840, a period of nineteen years, your assemblage is in the city of Louisville. At the 10s8 of the Grand Hall at Lexington, in 1834, by the pecuniary embarrassments of the Grand 0, the Grand 0 removed its sessions to this city, where it met successively in 1835, lS36, 1831, 1838 and 184:0, when a new Hall was completed at Lexington. A grent change has taken place in the condition of Masonry in Kentucky since last your gavels were heard in this city. At that time but thirty-three CE:J were represented, a.nd the active membership of the Society in Kentucky was scarcely one thousand. Now the number of your Câ&#x201A;ŹJ exceeds three hundred, and that of your membership eleven thousand, so great has been the progress of our institution in nineteen years." Under the head of " Dispensations granted," the Grand ~Iaster says: "I am much at a 10s8 what to advise in relation to the establishment of new Cfb. That many of the old 0~e8 are in a dying state, and ought to be closed, is unquestionably true, and in such cases new LEJ, within a few miles of them, would not be so much amiss. But how much better it would be for zealou8 brethren to affiliate with these LEJ, infuse new blood into them, warm and aairnate them, and thus obviate the necessity of establishing new CÂŁJ to the certain death of those old ones. I find throughout all the older Grand C2J an indisposition to increase the number of their CEJ. This indisposition I acknowledge to have shar~d, and I am free to admit that the result of my observations during tho past year would rather incline me to reduce the number of Kentucky !:EJ oD('-thinl, than udd a s:ngle one to their number. That this would be for the interest of the whole Society, and the pleasure and advantage of the individual members, I think may . readily be demonstrated." " My attention," saya the Grand :Master, "has been anxiously

directed, all through the past year, to the subject of uniformity of work and lectures. I have been aware ever since my removal to this State in 1851 that a great diversity exists in the Kentucky rituals; but when I served as Grand Lecturer, in 1853-4, under Grand Master Todd, I found the diversity ,greater and more serious than I could have supposed. But during my official term as Grand Master I have discovered that these discrepancies are, in some instances, startling and enormous. Literally, every Master of a 0 in Kentucky does what seemeth good in his own eyes. In many of the CEb, some brother of local reputation, who has acquired the work and lectures, he alone knows how, controls the craft around him; is quoted as an infallible guide, and his instructions fullowed with unhesitating confidence. Yet scarcely any two of these brethren have the same system. A general ideaoftener an incorrect one than the reverse:-runs through these hundred systems; but in the details, and in the covenants, and in the mea~s of recognition, the discrepancies are numerous, dangerous, and to be considered with the most serious atteution by the Grand D." ~rhe Grand :Master condemns the carelessness and apparent ignorance of mllny of the Secretaries, and saJ's that while the most business lUan in the 0 ought to be selected for Secretary, the Câ&#x201A;Ź:J often choose the very reverse of it. He also complains of the neglect of representation of CE!J in the Grand 0, and re- . greta that in many Câ&#x201A;ŹJ the proceedings of the Grand 0 are not read by the ~1aster to his brethren, as they should be, and in but few of them are those valuable documents preserved for permanent use. The Grand Secretary presented a well written report on Foreign Correspondence; covering 92 closely printed pages, which was printed in pamphlet form for the use of the members of the Grand D. Appropriate resolutions were passed relative to the death of M. W. George M. Bibb, George Breckinridge and Marcus Tyler, P. Gr. :Masters, and Rt. B. J. Dudley, P. Gr. J. Warden. From the valuable statistical report of the Grand Secretary we learn that there are 4663 CE:J in the United States, having a

The Annual Communication of the Grand 0 was belt1 in the city of Baltimore, on the 21st of November, 1859-M. W. Chas. Goodwin, Grand ~laBter, presiding; 35 Câ&#x201A;ŹJ represented. We see from the report of the Grand Master, that no processions other than Masonic funerals can take place under the jurisdiction of the Grand 0 of Maryland, without a dispensation from the Grand Master. Bro. Rev. J. N. McJilton presented the report on Foreign Correspondence, covering 256 pages; it is the most complete report on this subject which has fallen under the observation of your committee. 14 Grand 0 proceedings, together with the proceedings of Masonic convention at Chicago, are carefully and thoroughly analyzed, and every thing of importance extracted from them. Some idea of the thoroughness of the report may be formed when we state, that fifteen pages a.re alone devoted to our Grand 0 proceedings. The reading of the report was dispensed with, as printed copies were furnished to mePlbers. Your committee intend to draw largely from this valuable document, which is the production of a sound thinker and a scholar. From his opening remarks, we select the following: "If the pure a.nd perfect tenets of Masonry were practically applied, how highly would the ~Ia!onic character be exalted! There would be no complaints that our CE:::J were desecrated by the trca-d of the intemperate, the profane, the selfish, and the ill-natured. These vices would be banished from our temple.

They may be easily secured, and just us easily placed in the hands of the members of all the CEJ. In order to render the ancieut laws effective, they ought to be published by every 0, in a little pamphlet, which will not be much larger than their by-laws, and a copy presented to every man who is made a Master Mason, with instructions to study th<.'m, and adupt them as the rules of his :Masonic life." The advise of our Rev. Brother is admirable, and would no doubt benefit the ~rasonic fraternity, if carried out in good faith. But of what value are the landmarks of Masonry, written or unwritten, to those who enter the order for the sole purpose of us;ng it for their own purposes? The time was when the decl:uatioD of an applicant that, unbiased by friends and unir.fluenced by mercenary motives, he freely and voluntarily offered himself a candidate for the mysteries of :Ma.sonry, meant som~thing-was a reality. That time is in a me:l~足 nrc passed; the ahoye declarntion is obsolete, out of dute, llleans nothing. :l\1cn now-n-days ~ubscribe to it, as they do to any Oth01' part of the cercmonial of initiation, because as a, brother once remarked in our hearing, they believe it to be "a purt or the show."

For they no longer hear those glorious themes taught, of a belief and trust in God, reverence for His Holy name, obedience to His laws as contained in the Great Light of Masonry, and the Immortality of the Soul; the 0 room is deselted, a blight ha.s fallen on it, and the miserable officer-seeker sees when too late that a curse instead of a blessing attends his labors. But this is not the only evil he has wrought. He frequently involves his brethren pecuniarily for large amounts; he uses them and :Masonry freely to elevate himself to political preferment, and if he succeed, as is too frequently the case, his apparent interest in 1\Iasonry declines; he no longer needs its influence, and he is not unfrequently heard to say, when taxed with his indifference, that Masonry is not what he expected it to be, or that he has done his share of work, when the only work he accomplished was the debasing of Masonry, and the destruction of his o. Of what value are landmarks to such a man? 'Ve answer, none." Commenting on the installation of officers by proxy, he says: " An installation by proxy is one of the anomalies that in some

way or other has found its way into the :Masonic institution. \Ve conceive it to be a bad perversion of the purpose on account of which the ceremony was provided. That purpose is to impress the officer with a proper idea of the character of the position to which he has been appointed, and to receive fr(lm him his pledges upon every essential point of duty. The effort is lost upon a prexy, who is not expected to have ~Jny personal intere.st in the proceedings. Suppose we extend the view of this anomaly a little, by asking if it would answer fer a 0 to initiate, pass and raise a candid3Jte by proxy? 'Vhat sort of a Master Mason would such a, process make? The thing is so supremely ridiculous that the smile of contempt is excited by the mere propounding of the inquiry. How much better is it then, we would ask, to admit a proxy in the insta.llation of an officer of aD? And let the proxy 4,

system once become universal in Masonry, and it willllot be long before the admission to the degrees will be done in the Mtne way. This is a veri good way to open a leak through which the entir~ Masonic character will ~peedily run out of the institution."

" It is notorious," remarks the Grand Master, "that C£b which most clearly need the instructions of the accredited instructor, elected by the Grand D, are the very latest to can for his services. Almost every D depends npon its particular 'bright :Mason,' 'Who is far too often disposed to object and cavil·at any Masonic light save his own." The Grand Master, as a part of his address, presents £fty.nine questions propounded to him. together with his decisions thereon, which th~ Grand 0 subsequently confirmed, save in a few instances. The Grand Master condemns the " calling off" of a 0 from one communication to another, and says in all cases the D must be opened and closed in form. He recommends the collating and publishing the transactions of the Grand 0, from its earliest times to the present-condemns the too frequent change of 1\1asters, contending that a proved workman should be continued in his task so long as his services can be secured. "The North American Masonic Congress" finds no favor in the eye.5 of our Brother; he condemns it as impracticable, uselesB nnd unnecessary, and belietes that it could be made dangerons to State sovereignties.

He appears to ha.ve a thorough knowledge of the c{)ndition of the Order, ,and while a word of encouragement is not wanting, where he deems it

GRAND LODGE A. F. A. MASONS

necessary, admonition and reproof is also administered, yet in so kind and fraternal a spirit as to make a deep and lasting impression. How beautiful and suggestive is the following opening of his address: " As the traveller, pursuing a distant journey, pauses by the way, toil-worn and weary, to look back upon the landscape and to gather strength for a renewal of his efforts, and contemplates the hills and valleys he has traversed, ~he pleasures he has enjoyed, and the dangers he has escaped; ~o do we, in the early summer, suspend our life-long labors for a brief space, and halt in our progress towards the final rest, to see what we have achieved, and to consider what remains to be accomplished. The retrospect cheers or pains us, as a calm reflection upon our own conduct shall convince us whether we have striven to perform well and wisely, in our respective stations, what was given us to do, or whether, in the passionate struggle to claim or .maintain real or imaginary rights, we have not left undone the actual dulies incumbent upon us. It is in this hot and eager contest, in respect to rights demanded, or rights inyadcd) that many a bright hope, many a noble design, has been shipwreck~d forever, upon the sharp and jagged rocks of prejudice and passion, while pilot, and helmsman, and crew, forsaking the post of duty, were COlltending for their own individual claims. It is the most melancholy picture of the history of our race, and yet is being reproduced day by day, and year by year." From the report of the talented Deputy Grand Master, Bro. John \V. Simons, we select the following: " There are a number of CÂŁJ here (New York City and Brooklin) working in languages other than the English; and while they have been heretofore allowed to conduct matters in their own way, they have enjoyed an almost perfect immunity from the restraints of our constitution, partly on the averred ground that they do not understand it, and partly on their constructicn of the tacit consent of the Grand 0 to their mode of working. Various difficulties have arisen out of this state of things, which I have generally been able to overcome; but the Grand 0 ought to cut the knot of difficulty by defining the character and extent of the permission

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

accorded by it, to 4b working in a foreign tongue. The essence of the difficulty will be found in the fact, that in all foreign rites, as far as I have been able to examine them, Entered Apprentices are allowed the same privileges as :Master ~'lason.s, from the fact that all the business of the 0, even "to the election of officers. is conducted in the Entered Apprentice's degree; whereas, in our rite, and under our constitution, :Master Masena only are members of a 0, and Entered Apprentices have no rights, save that of applying for a higher degree. A construction is put upon the permission of the Grand 0 to C2J working in a foreign tongue, that cannot be admitted, without doing violence to the organic law; and I presume there is no need for argument on the proposition that the Grand 0, as a body, cannot violate the constitution, any more than any individual under its jurisdiction could, :1lld hence the Grand 0 cannot lawfully give consent to a violation of the general statutes of the Order. I can find no evidence that the Grand has ever given consent, to a subordinate 0 , to work in any other rite than our own; but if such. consent has been given, it seems clear that its whole and true extent must have been, that in the ceremonies of the several degrees they should use such acknowledged rite as might be most convenient to them.. selves; but that in the business and discipline of the 0 they should conform to the constitution and the usages that obtain under it; and I respectfully submit tha,t the Grand 0 ought explicitly to say so, and thus extinguish the germ of a trouble, tblt if left to the future, may not be so easily controlled. I find, too, that little or no attention is paid to a reguhtion requiring a tr~),llscript of the minutes to be kept in English; in some instances, where I have called attention to the fact, I have been answered, that they have never heard of the regulation; which is probable enough, in view of the general neglect of that duty comIH'iscd in a careful reading of the printed tl'ansactions." And following out the idea of the Duputy Grand :\Iaster, we fin(l Bro. Drew, Grund Lecturer, complaining as to the practices in the City of. New York, in the following language: " I would that I could say that all the ~::}J of the City pr:tdice correct 'Work; lmt I am constra;!l':~ll to sny, although reluctuntly,

that there are many CÂŁJ who work peculiar to themselves. Some are practicing the French rite, and various other foreign rites; while those who profess to practice the York rite, differ from each other as much as the foreign rites differ from the true York rite; consequently where harmony should prevail, confusion reigns triumpha.nt. " Bro. F. M. King's report on Foreign Correspondence is, as usual, an elaborate review of the proceedings of the several American Grand CEJ, together with notices of several European Grand C@J. This voluminous and able report covers 144 pages, and will amply repay an attentive perusal. M. W. John L. Lewis, Jr., Grand Master, Penn Yan; Rt. 'V. James :M. Austin, :M:.

NORTH CAROLINA.

The Grand 0 assembled in Raleigh, 5th December, 1859-M. W. Alfred :Mann, Grand ~!aster, presiding; 88 CÂŁJ represented. From the well-"Titten address of the Grand l\faster we extract the following: " There is a practice prevailing, to some considerable extent, in our subordinate CEJ, to which I desire to call your attention, and which I think should' be conected by special enactment. I refer to that of leaving the minutes or journal of the proceedings of one meeting of the 0 to be adopted or confirmed by the succeeding meeting. From this practice have arisen many dis'putes, erroneous proceedings, and much bad feeling among the members. The minutes should be read, ana confirmed before the 0 is closed, and while the members who pal"ticipated in the transactions are present, they are the only persons competent to decide as to the truth or the record. Instead or this, we have the very anoInalous proceedings of members voting or deciding upon a question of fact about which they can know nothing; and it often happens that the minutes of a meeting are coufirmed, or some portions of them set aside, when there is not seven members pres-

ent who were at the preceding meeting; and yet the 0 takes upon itself to say whether or not the record is true." The Grand Master takes decided ground against the adoption of the plan of the North American Masonic Congress, and the Committee on the Grand Master's address say: "The views and opinions so clearly and elaborately expressed in reference to the organization of a Supreme Grand 0 , according to the plan proposed by the Chicago Convention, meets our unqualified approbation. Concurring as we do with our Grand Master, that such an organization would prove inefficient and impracticable, and no good whatever could result from it, we hardly deem it necessary that any further action should be had by this Grand body; but that its fossil relllains should remain forever buried where an enlightened :Masonic sentiment has consigned them." Bro. P. W. Fanning presented the report on Foreign Correspondence, reviewing the proceedings of the several Grand CEJ submitted to him. This he does in an off路hand manner, freely condemning any departure from the old landmarks, and utterly opposed to the attempts at improvements which are occasionally being made by some enthusiastic brethren, who desire to see Free Masonry assimilated to some of the modern associations of the day. We heartily endorse the opinion of our brother in commenting on Brother Mackey's theory, that a. Grand 0 when she sets aside a sentence of expulsion, may restore the expelled M-ason to membership in his D. OUf brother further says on the sub路 jeet: "In reply to all this, which we can regard only as a fallacy, we do not hesitate to express the conviction that, should our Grand LEJ ever adopt such a regulation and attempt to put it in pracin the country would instantly by actice, every subordinate clamation avow its discontent at so insufferable a usurpation. Furthermore, we declare that no power on earth, not excepting the Grand 0, has the authority to dictate to a D, otherwise than upon constitutional grounds, or established regulations, who shall compose its membership, nor compel it to receive a member whom it has discarded." Your Committee will take this occasion to say that Missouri never recognized the principle contended for by Bro. Mackey, and

when he, Bro. Hillyar and others quoted Missouri in favor of their position, they done so under a total misconception of the facts. The Grand 0 of Missouri, in the case of Bro. Parker and the Middleton 0, simply deeided, that when a charter which had been arrested was restored, that its restoration embraced all who were members at the time of the arrest, and that, therefore, Parker being a member of the at the time of the arrest of the charter, beca.me a member on its restoration.

'Ve notice that the Gr&nd 0 of Rhode Island, like Massachu. setts, devotes the 27th December in each year to the exemplification of the work and lectures of the three degrees, holding morning, afternoon and evening sessions for the purpose. The Grand 0 appointed a committee, with full power to unite with other committees, in relation to the erecting of a monument over the remains of Bro. Thomas Smith 'tVebb. At a quarterly communication of the Grand 0, held in Providence, the 3rd ~lay, 1859, ~L 'V. James Hutchison, Gr.l\Iaster, presiding---15 CEb represented. Upon this occasion, the Grand :Master delivered an address, from which we extract the following: "The great numberof initiates, and the haste with which they are hurried through the different degrees, is a subject which requires your most serious attention. According to general usage, and the regulations of :Masonry, every candidate for the degrees should stand proposed at least one lunar month, before his petition is acted upon; and no perMn should be passed to the second, or raised to the third degree, until he can pass a strict examination on the degree preceding the one he is about to receive. There can be no doubt, if this rule was strictly enforced, the CEJ would be greatly benefitted, and we should have a much more intelligent class of :Masons than we can now boast. Another subject, intimately connected with this, is the qualifications of Masters. No person should ever be installed Master of a 0, who is not perfectly conversant with ull the work and lectures of the three degrees. These subjects, certainly, require your serious consiueration, and I trust, it will lJC no longer oYCl'looked or postponed, as our future prosperity will no doubt in some measure depentl upon the action which may he taken on them." Bro. Thos. A. D()ylc presented the Report on Foreign Correspondence, noticing the proceedings ()f the several Grand CEJ, and closes as follows: "In completing their second report, your com-

mittee congratulate your M. W. Grand Body on the general prosperity prevailing in our order throughout the country, and they might add, the world. A few of the Grand CEJ of the United States seem disposed to attempt to improve our glorious science, being it would seem unwilling that any thing, even though bearing the age of centuries, should exist without change. Most of the States, however, adhere firmly to the old landmarks, pursue steadily the old well-trodden paths, and. resi&t with firmness and energy the least attempt at innovation." M. W. Jervis J.

From the Grand Master's address your committee learn that "two CEJ had been previously established on that island, and are now in existence; and it is contemplated, when three chartered CEJ are at work; to form a Grand 0, to be known as the Grand Orient of Cuba." 'Ve trust that the benign influences of our beloved order will be felt, and that proscription for opinions' sake will be numbered among the other relics of intolerance, which has heretofore proved a curse to that bea.utiful country. The Grand l\Iaster says that "in the month of March last. Col.

of the cosmopolitan character of his profession, I exercised the prerogative vested in me by the landmarks-and the existence and legitimacy of which has been repeatedly recognized by this 'Grand 0 -of summoning an occasional 0, and making him a Mason by sight." In this jurisdiction, the Grand Masters possess no such authority; he cannot even grant a dispensation to act upon the petition of an applicant for the mysteries of Freemasonry, in a less time than that sanctioned by custom, namely, one month; and this is just and proper. If it be true that delay works no evil in Masonry, there can be no occasion to be in a hurry, for there are no cases of emergency recognized by us. Under ordinary circumstances, we have never heard of the dispensing power being exercised in favor of a poor man, or one who had nothing but his honest industry to support him, and yet these are the men who give their time and means (especially in cities,) to sustain the order, and without them, the work of 1\1asonry would be sadly neglected. The Grand Secretary, Rt. W. A. G. :Mackey, as a Committee on Foreign Correspondence, presented his annual report, which is one of exceeding interest; indeed, coming from so able an expounder of :Masonic law, it could not well be otherwise. Commenting on the complaint made by the committee on charters, of the Grand 0 of Illinois, at the rail-road speed with which Masons are made, the Rt. W. Brother says: "The thousands of pages that are annually emanating from the thirty-four Grand C€J of this Union, are continually filled with similar complaints of the rapidity with ,,,·hich 1\lasons are almost everywhere made. It is not now only that we are to learn that the weakness of ]\;lasonry consists in what the thougtless members of the order are too a.pt to call its strength. If the glorious edifice is ever to crumble and decay, its fall will not be occasioned by the deficiency, but by the abundance of its materials. Its pillars even now are, in some of its temples, tottering from the superincumbent weight of worthless and disreputable stones which they are made to bear. Let it never be forgotten, that every unworthy and immoral candidate admitted into aD, is like a blow struck by the spoiler upon the walls of its fabric. Bad Masor;s arc the i~onocla8ts of the order; they

GRAND LODGE A. F. A. MASONS

are the itn:1ge breakers who are daily engaged in polluting its sanctuary, and in overthrowing its shrines." The distinguished Brother is, of course, enthusiastic on the subject of the "North American Masonic Congress," and says: " It will assume no powers of positive legislation; it will make no laws for the government of the Craft; it will neither suspend, expell, nor otherwise punish Masonic offenders; it will assert no jurisdiction over Grand or subordinate t::E!J; it will neither grant nor arrest charters; it will not even create any new M:asonic rank, nor confer an old one on :1ny of its members. In short, its only object will be to 'consent and' advise on questions of l\Iasoni(', jurisprudence, to the end that a uniformity of law and usage may be accomplished.' " And this is to be the great blessing which will dispell the fo'l~;s and mists which now envellope Grand CEJ, but which will fade as the dew before tbp morning sun, when that body, which will ,;, consent and advise on questions of :Masonic jurisprudence" is thoroughly organized, and presented in :111 its grandeur to the astonished gaze of the l\iasonic Fraternity of these United State~. Rt. W. Bro. Mackey was elected :1n Historian, to prepare the history of Masonry in South Carolina, and present it to the Grand CJ at its next annual Communication.

""Ve have assembled to circumambulate this holy ground,and dedicate this monUment to the memory of a much loved and honored Mas路 tel'; and there io a beauty and a gratefulness in the testimonial.

It is a pious and :Masonic duty not only to inter the remains of departed ones, but as often as may be proper and expedient, to set apart, in a solemn manner, some stone or pillar to the memory of worthy :M:asters, t4ftnd the purpose being a godly one, we should faithfully and dev~utly beg the blessing or Deity on this undertaking." The Grand Secretary, Rt. W. Charles A. Fuller, presented the report on F. C., which covers 96 pages of the printed proceedings. It is an able review of the proceedings of the several Grand CE:J. In pursuing our labors, Bro. Fuller remarks: "We have adhered to the plan adopted by the writer in former reports, that is, as far as possible, to give the language of the proceedings themselves, accompanied by such comments as are deemed necessary for a full understanding of the merits of every question as it is presented."

The Grand 0 assembled in the town of Crock'att, the] 3th day of June, 1859.--:-M. W. Henry Sampson, Grand :Master, presiding-128 CP1 represented. The Grand l\{aster alludes to the death of P. Grand l\faster Samuel :M. Williams, P. D. Grand Master E. H. Tarrant, and P. Grand Orator J. W. Lattimer. The Grand Master granted 15 dispensations for the formation of CEJ within the past year. One of the D. D. Grand :Masters, Bro. Crockett, in his report to the Grand Master, alludes to the " promiscuous indulgence of individuals in trying strangers, and the careless manner of examining them by CEJ, in the anteroom, a,s a source of great evil to the institution, which will, if not arrested, greatly impair the force and influence of the order."

OF TIlE STATE OF MISSOURI.

This is a subject which requires attention by your Most 'Votshipful Grand bodJ. It is well known to the writer of this report that in many instances the utmost looseness is practiced in the examination of strangers. Any brother, who feels so disposed, will undertake what he calls an examination, regardless of time or place, and although totally disqualified for such a work, will after the lapse of a few minutes pronounce himself satisfied, and will gravely vouch for the person in open 0, and such vouching will in too many instances be accepted by the 'Vorshipful :l\Iaster. Remonstrate with the brethren on this course, and they will tell you that they have the right to examine when and where they . please! Now, this your Committee dcny. As a general rule, we believe that no examination should be Dlade by any individual either on the streets or on the highway. To be lawful it should bc made by authority, and conducted in a proper manner. No preliminaries should ever be omitted, and the examining Committee should be always composed of the most intclligent Masons of the L~ ; the examination should be searching and thorough, amI if any doubts are in the minds of the Committee, Masonry should have the benefit of them; for it were better that ninetyand-nine should be tllrned away, even though they might be what they profess, than that a Cowan should gain admittance. Bro. E. H. Cushing presented the report on Foreign Cor路 respondence, in which he reviews in a spirited manner the proceedings of the several Grand CEJ. He is desirous of seeing how the re50lution of the Gr:tnd 0 to the subordina~s, requiring them to deal with members guilty of habitual drunkenness, gambling and profane swearing, will work, and begs your Committee to report results. tVe regret that we have nothing to report on this hea-d. 'Ve fear the resolution alluded to, like too many others, will remttin Q, dead letter, and that we wilt be compelled to connive at these g"eat and growing evils, from year to year, without the firmness to apply the remedy, until we drive many a good Mason from the 0 through OUf supineness and indifference. The following rCBolution was presented by the Committee on tILe doings of the Grand Officers, and adopted: "Resolved, Tha.t the D. D. Grand Masters, in visiting CE!J in

their districts, are hereby instructed to examine the security (with reference to the work of :Masonry) of the buildings in which CEb meet, and should they deem them unsafe or improper for the meeting of CEJ, from any cause, they shall report the situation and condition of the building fully to the Grand Master, who may pursue such a course as he may deem the general intere~ts of 1\lasonry to require." The enactment and enforcement of a similar resolution by this Grand 0 is deemed by your Committee to be absolutely necessary. The next Co~munication of the Grand 0 of Texas will be held at Lagrange•.

The Grand 0 of Virgmia express~ itEelf in favor of the representative BJstem, but is opposed to delegating any authority, except under specific instructions, " the object and purpose of the system being to constitute 3. medium of Masonic information and fraternal intercourse." The Grand 0 declined to divide the State "into two, three, or more districts, and the appointment of a Grand Lecturer in each dIstrict," as they believe it to be inexpe· dient, to have more than one Grand Lecturer in the State (If Vir.. ginia.

It is merely our aim, thereforc, to s~bmit to this Grand 0 a few items and facts, coming within the line of OUf duty, for the information of the brethren in our jurisdiction 1 and for the benefit of all others whom they may concern. ,,' The Grand 0 adopted the following; "Resolver!, That drunkenness shall incapacita.te a member of any subordinate d under this jurisdiction, to hold dIe office of 'W orshipful Master ~ and ehotlld it come to the knowledge, satisfactorily, of the :M.

"Bro. Rob :Morris, of Kentucky, moved that Bro. Finlay :\1:. King, of New York, be appointed President, which was unanimously agreed to. "Bro. F. M. King on taking the chair, addressed the Convention as follows: " Brethren-I am very grateful to you for the honor you confer upon the State of New York, in the election of myself to the chairmanship of this National Convention. It is an honor of which any person might feel proud; for I aiscover that the Convention not only represcnts a large proportion of the :Masonic sovereignties of the Union, but that it is composed of gentlemen of the highest distinction in the different States from which you have come; and it embodies an amount of legislative and judicial talents and cxperience rarely combined in a national body. It is, to me, a. most gratifying fe:lture tha.t, among the discordant notes that ha.ve been sounded from the politic:ll and religious organiz:ltions of the Americ:k.n Union, ca.rrying in their vibrations, fear and a,pprehension to the patriotic minds of the country, there is, in this body, un evident disposition not only to fill up the

breaches between different sections of the Union thus created, but to establish new bonds and ligaments that will strengthen and cement the ties that have bonnd the nation together. " You have come here, brethren, not only as the representatives of the central States of OUf confederacy, but from different and distant portions of the country, to interchange views, to compare opinions, and if possible to a路gree upon some plan that shall unite and harmonize and nationalize the Masonic Fraternity of the United St11te3. While the history of the past has thrown a shadow of distrust upon all efforts of this kind-tending to establish a. National organization in Symbolic :Mas~llry, I have confidence to believe that if the result of your deliberations shall present a plan that will not impair the efficiency or sovereignty of the GTand Cf!J, that will be practicable and utilitarian in its movements a.nd expected results, and will give a tone of nationality and unity to the :Masonic sentiments of the country, it "'ill receive I think, and will deserve, the approval of the Grand C@J of the United States.

" By the action of a Convent.ion of Grand CEJ, begun and holden in the city of Chicago, Illinois, the 13th day of September, 1859, in response to a circular issued by the Grand 0 of

OF THE STATE OF :MISSOURI.

:Maine, bearing date May, 1857, it is made the duty, as it is the pleasure, of the undersigned, to address you and invite your early and earnest attention to the proceedings of the Gaid Convention; asking that you will, after due consideration, take such action thereon liS, in your wisdom, the interests of your distinguished Grand Body and tb.e interests of Craft :M:1son1'Y seem to require. " rrhe proceedings of tbe Convention, which form a part of tbe circular, so fully define the objects of the organization, as to leave little for this Committee to say by way of explanation. The Articles of Association, in their most essential features, have been before the Grand ce.J of the country for nearly a year, in the proceedings of the Grand 0 of Minnesota, by her M. \V. Grand Master, in response to the cirular from Maine. A careful comparison of those Articles with these now submitted for your consideration, will show the truth of our assertion, that they have been subjected to a patient ancI searching review, by five of our number, as weU as the careful scrutiny of a very large Convention, representing nearly all the Grand CEJ of the United States, to which the largest liberty was allowed for criticism and amendment. 'Ve certify you that the articles agreed upon, and tho course pursued in their adoption, give ample assurance of our desire to guard the rights, dignity and authority of the several Grand Cfb, and to present the basis of an Association 'potent for good and impotent .for evil,' on which they may safely unite in promoting tho progress and prosperity of our ancient and cherished fraternity. " Nor need we devote much time or space to show that Craft Masonry has need of such an organization. In the face of all assertions to the contrary, we array the simple facts unfolded in the history of efforts to secure this object, so fully presented in the proceedings of Minnesota for 1858. 'We may also appeal to the able circular put forth by the convention which formed the basis of a National Confederation in the city of \Vashington, in January, 1855. "If we go back to the formation of our National Union, we find Pennsylv'ania nominating our distinguished brother, GElOltGE WASHINGTON, as General Grand Master of Masons, and desiring

the C€.J of the country to unite with her in placing him at the head ofa General Grand D. Georgia, in 1790, South Carolina in 1799, and Pennsylvania in 1809, endeavored to unite the Grand CE:J in a General Grand D. In 1822, as the result of a Convention held in the city of V\T ashington, a resolution was adopted declaring it 'expedIent and for the General interests of the Order to constitute a Genel'al Grand 0 of the United Stutes.'

object was defeated by adverse action on the part of some Grand Câ&#x201A;ŹJ. Some of the arguments by which the :Masonic writers of that day defeated this effort, have been revived and republished in reply to the Maine Cir~ular, as the best possible arguments against it. We mean no disrespect to the living or the dead when we say that the Circular signed by JOHN MARSHALL, HENRY CLAY, and their illustrious compeers, remains to this day, unanswered and unanswerable ~ a monument of Masonic fidelity and sagacity, worthy of their legal, civic, and literary fame, and their moral worth. " The Committee deem it unnecessary to urge the consideration that the objects aimed at by the Congress, are worthy of the most earnest efforts of the ablest mIDds of the age. These objects are so fully stated in the Articles of Confederation, as to need no enumeration. The whole field of Masonio labor and research, embracing all countries and all time, is before us, affording ample scope for our highest energies, lellying neither time nor mutive, for profitless controversy or arbitrary legislation. " The Masonic fraternity on this continent are in a course of resistless progress in numbers, in mental and moral force, with increasing desires for more light and a broader humanity. Our relations with the older nations, from which waves of population are flowing to us across the two great oceans of the world's commerce, are such as to render it increasingly desirable fGr us to know the condition and progress of our ancient Craft in those countries where it had long been cultivated before its altars were consecrated on these western shores. "The practical question which all will weigh is, 'Will the experiment succeed? "Till the objects aimed at he gained? If so, will the results justify the endeavor? " That will depend upon those who make the investment, which need not be very expensi \'e surely, if all 01' a majority of the Gr:md CEJ shall cordially unite. The expense of representa,tion need not be a burden, as the meetiIlgs will occur but once in three years, and at the same time with the General Grand ~1asonic bodies. There is an array of ta.lent and learning now in the order, which if called fonh, may furnish a rich intellectual ban-

GRAND LODGE A. F. A. MASONS

quet at every meeting, and may accumulate rich treasures of Masonic lore to benefit oursehes and those who come after us. " 'Ve believe that Freemasonry has yet a mission, an altar and a Priesthood, with a future more glorious than the past; and that th~ advancement of Christian Civilization, so far from superseding or rendering it obsolete, will but enlarge and elevate the sphere of its labor and make still higher demands for all the consecrated talent and Masonic skill we can train around our altars. ]8 it too much for us to ask a fnir experiment for the organization here proposed? " 1\-fay we not hopefully invite all the Grand CE!J on thi~ continent to gi~ their hand and heart to these Articles of Association, and meet us with a full representation of their highest wisdom and skill at the Congress proposed for 1862? 'With this cherished hope we ask that you will give an early response to this circular, so soon as your Grand 0 shall be able to consider and decide upon the subject herein presented. " The committeo also invite suggestions in relation to the subjects within the range of its inquiry; that may need the early attention of such a Congress. "All communications in reply to this circular, should be addressed to the Chairman of this Committee, care of IRA BERRY, ESQ., G.路. Sec. of the Grand 0 of Maine, whose offi~e is M Portl~nd, Maine.

CONCLUSION.

Your Committee have now brought this necessarily imperfect Report to a close, written while laboring under sickness of ~n aggrievatetl character, and we rise from this labor of love with mingled feelings of pleasure and sorrow. Pleasure, because we hav~ once more the privilege of (,0mmaTIing with our fellow laborers; of perusing the llIany pages of Masonic intelligence spread before us in the adllresses of Grand l\Iasters, and reports of Committees on Foreign Correspondence. By their aid we have been enabled to look beyo,nd our own jurisdiction, nnd throughout the length and breadth of this Great Confederacy, observe the workings of the Masonic system, and feel the throbbings of the great l\fasonic heart; and while all on the surface appear pleasing, the close observer will notice the undercurrent, and from the notes of warning heard from almost every Grand 0 jurisdiction, will be impressed with the belief, almost amounting to a conviction, that there is danger to our beloved im;titution abroad in the lanll. 'Vhen we see with what avidity men a.rc rushing to our CE:J to become l\Iasons-the impatience mani fested by themselves and friends if the slightest obstacles interfere with the accomplishment of their desires-and their curiosity gratified, with what indifference they afterwards regard :Masonry, except to forward their individual interests: we too, in common with our brethren elsewhere, would be derelict in our duty did we not proclaim the fact that in this jurisdiction we are creating too many CEJ, an(l imperfectly making too many Masons. 'Vill you, \Vorshipful Brethren in Grand 0 assembled, devise some efl'ectual measures whereby this alarming evil may be checked, and save us from the consequences of our neglect and indifference to the great interesta of our Order. 'Ve are sorrowful, because death has heen among us during tho past year, and while we of this jurisdiction arc not called upon to mourn tho loss of any of the fathers in JIasonry, we can freely share the gric of our brethren in other parts of the Union who have not been so fortunate. From the East and West, from the 7

GRAND LODGE A. F. A.. MASONS

North and South, the wail of lamentation is borne upon the breeze; we hear it sighing through the pine forests of :Maine as the tidings go forth that Robt. P. Duulap, the Christian gentleman and Mason, the man of large humanity and love for his fellows, is no more! The winter winds whistling along the coast of Rhode Island; sings the requiem of William C. Barker, the venerable Grand Secretary of the Grand 0 of that juri8diction. And by the placid waters of the Ouisconsin the genius of Freemasonry mourns for the loss of John Warren Hunt, the young and talented Grand Secretary. Texas, Mississippi and Kentucky, with Illinois, Florida and Alabama, are also called on to mourn the loss of Masons whose councils were ever wise and prudent in times of diffi~ulty. Thus they fall, the young, the middle-aged, the old; all have to ::lUccumb to that inexorable fate which, sooner or later, overtakes everything possessing life. Some at the outset of their career, in the morning of youth, with high hopes and noble aspirations; others who reached the summit in life's journey and pause to take a survey of the rOi1if over which they travelled, in order, in their descent to avuid the errors and mistakes into which they had fallen; and others agaiu who were hopefully descending with the experience of the past to guide them when the great leveller of human distinctions called, and they had to obey. But tho' dead, they yet live. Their influence is felt, and will continue to be felt long after their bodies resolve themselyes into their original element. From their graves they teach us; for the most minute act of our Jives for good or evil survive us. We could not, if we would, divest ourselves of our individuality; each one for himself, therefore, operated on by the influences by which in his Masonic capacity he is surrounded, should endeavor so to live a.nd act that, when he comes to lay down the load of life, it may be with a consciousness of having discharged his whole duty, and a hope that some kind hand will trace upon the records of his Grand 0 a slight token of affection. And when his troubled spirit wings its way to the footstool of his creator, may it be en-

THE GRAND

째

OF FREE AND ACCEPTED l\1:ASO~S OF MISSOURI:

I deem it my duty, as Grand Treasurer, to present the following statement: In April, 1844, certain lands belonging to this Grand 0, in :Marioll county, 'were sold to 'Vm. Hassinger for $700, for which two principal notes were given of $350 each, both payable ten years after date; at the same time twenty interest notes were given, for $35 each, payable at each succeeding six months, and aU bearing interest at 10 per-cent. after maturity. The two principal notes and twelve of the interest notes remain unpaid, and are now in my hands, which, with accrued interest, amounts to about $1800. In May, 1848, our late Bro. John S. Watson, former Grand Treasurer, placed in the hands of Bro. Carnegy ten of these interest notes for collection, two or which have been returned to me. From reports of Bro. Carn~gy, made to the Grand 0, the other eight notes were sued upon and judgment obtained; Bro. Carnegy has further stated to me, as his impression, that the same property was levied upon and sold under execution. But on inquiring of :Mr. Hassinger J he states that the amount was paid without a sale. He has also informed me, but a few days since, that he holds only a bond for a deed for the land in question when the payments are 'completed ; that he has made improvements on the land,in buildings and fences, worth $1200; that he is disposed to liquidate the debt without delay, but expects a liberal abatement of interest for the reason alleged, that he was prepared to pay the notes at maturity, but was not called upon, and knew not where to find them. The eight notes receipted for by Bro. Carnegy remain to be accounted for, or their proceeds. The remaining notes (except the two received of Bro. Carnegy) came into my hands but recently) and by chance, after much in-

quiry for them, running through a period of some three years, and should now be put in train of collection by order of the Grand D. In connection with the subject of finance, I deem it proper to report that I hold the note of S. R. Bay, of 29th May, 1858, for Mirabile D, for $300, payable one year after date. Also the note of Justin Bingham, of 24th May, ]859, payable one month after date. Both loans by this Grand D. Respectfully, JOHN D. DAGGETT, Grand Treasurer. May 29th, 1860.

Your Committee would further state, that within their recollection this question has already been decided by the Grand 0 at one of its previous sessions, when the M. W.

degrees, and that the three brethren who are recommended for appointment to the three principal stations are qualified to confer the three degrees of Ancient Craft l\Iasonry; that they hare in course of construction a suitahle Hall; that Somersett, the site of the proposed 0, is twelve miles distant from Putnam 0 , which is the nearest 0, and eighteen miles distant from Mercer 0, which are the only two e:::eJ now existing in Mercer county; and in the opinion of your Committee, the interests of Free l\Iasonry ,,-ill not suffer by the erection of this new D. Your Committee, therefore, recommend that when snid brethren shall have complied with the requirements of the Grand a, a dispensation be granted according to their prayer. Your Committee further report, that from evidence before them, they are satisfied that the brethren who have petitioned for the erection of a new a at Salem, in Dent county, are worthy l\iaster Masons, of sufficient skill, and that the three recommended as the three principal officers are qualified to confer the three degrees of A. C. :Masonry; that they have a suitable Hall; and that Salem is thirty miles distant from Lebanon a, which is the nearest 0 to them; that these brethren have been striving for some time, with a cOlllcndable perseYerance, to have a a established at Salem, and that the interests of the craft and of these brethren will be promoted by the erection of this 0; they therefore recommend that a dispensation be granted as prayed lor. Your Committee further report, that these hrethren have heretofore paid into the treasurJ7 of this 0 the usual fees and charges, and would therefore join in the recommendation of the COll~ll~ittoc on CEJ under dispensation, made to this a at its last annual communication, that a dispensation be granted to these brethrcn without further expense.

mended said petition to the fayorable consideration of this 0. That your Committee have other evidence that the brethren recommended for appointment to the three principle stations, are qualified to confer the three dp-grees of A. C. Masonry. Your Committee further report that Eureka 0, No. 73; is eight miles than 'Va-kanda 0 , which nearer to the site of the proposed hus recommended these brethren, and if distance alone was to be considered in determining jurisdiction, the recommendation of vVaka,n<la 0 would be insufficient; but your Committee are of opinion that other circumstances arc to be consiuered, such as facilities for communico.tion, habitual intercourse, etc., and that under the circumstances of this particular case the recommendation or Wakanda 0 is proper.

Therefore, your committee recommend that said sum be collected at as early a day as possible, and we also recommend that no abatement of interest be made to said Hassinger thereon, and that a deed to said land be made to said Hassinger, when said purchase money and interel!lt are fully paid. Your committee also find, that eight of the said interest bonds of said Hassinger, that went into the hands of Bro.

The officers of Anjerona 0 No. 193 have failed to sign their return. The returns of Bloomfield 0 No. 153 appear to be correct, except that it does not give the names of the persons initiated, passed and raised, or the date thereof, nor the names of the P. ~iasters, which we suppose results from a slight oversight in the Secretary.-The committee cheerfully state, that this 0 seems to be in a prosperous condition, working in peace and harmony.

The Committee 'tftl Grievance beg leave to make the following report: After a full and ce.reful examination of the memorial of J. W. Chenoweth, expelled by United 0, No; 5, we are of the opinion that the acts charged against him are attributable more to omis8

sion than commission, and we recommend the adoption of the following resolution:

Resolved, That United 0, No.5, be requested to give J. W. Chenoweth anothe" hearing, that he may have the benefit of his subsequent conduct to mitigate the wrong that caused his expulsion. Adopted. On the memorial of Brother W. R.Wilmott and Jas. M'Cowan, in the case of 'Vm. H. Palmer, late of Graham 0 , No. 38, stating that this 0 had tried Bro. Palmer upon charges, found him guilty, and suspended him indefinitely, and that Bro. Palmer had allowed the constitutional time to elapse before he applied for an appeal-the verdict of the being indirect conflict with a resolution of this Grand 0, which declares that indefinite snspension is contrary to the usages of Masonry, and therefore is null and void-we recommend the adoption of the following resolution:

째

Resolved, That a resolution of this Grand declares that indefinite suspension is null and void, and that Graham 0, No. 38, rescind the action had in this case, and try Bro. Palmer on the charges again, or not, as they may deem best. Adopted. On the appeal of F. B. McCurdy from the decision of Carthage 0, No. 103, expelling him from the privileges of Masonry, we recommend the adoption of the following resolution:

Resolved, That the action of Carthage 0, No. 103, in expelling McCurdy, be sustained. On the appeal of Wm. H. Calloway from the decision of Sturgeon 0, No. 174, we recommend the adoption of the resolution as recommended in the case of Wm. H. Palmer, of Graham 0 , 'N o. 38. Adopted. On the memorial of John F. Robinson, from the decision of Friendship 0, No. 89, expelling him, we recommend the adoption of the following:

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI•

.Resolved, That Friendship 0 , No. 89, give John F. Robinson the benefit of another trial. Adopted. On the memorial of W. E. Wheeler and Geo. W. Hopkins, members of Linn 0, No. 66, in regard to the action had by said o in the case of Sol. Kinzy, your Committee believe, with the memorialists, that Linn 0, No. 66, has set a bad precedent for its future government by refusing to inflict a penalty upon a brother after having been found guilty. Adopted. On the appeals of Joshua N. Durand, from Pappinville 0, No. 140, H. R. Manning, from Friendship 0, No. 89, and Henry McKinley, from Temple 0, No. 27, we recommend the adoption of the following:

Resolved, That the appeals be dismissed and the action of the Adopted.

CEJ confirmed.

On the record sent up here by St. Andrew's D, No. 96, in the has no action to take case of Bro. Geo. O'Connor, this Grand or opinion to express. Adopted.

On the memorial of Linn 0, No. 66, in the case of Bro. Arthur C. Robinson, requires no action on the part of this Grand 0, as Bro. Robinson was expelled by this 0 in 1856 for drunkento be ness, and in 1860, having reformed, petitioned the said restored to Masonic privileges, and was by that 0 constitutionally restored to all his Masonic rights. Adopted.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

The committee to whom was" referreuso mucn of the M. W.

102

GRAND LODGE A. F. A. MASONS

Grand Master's address as relates to a convention of Master Masons that was proposed to be held at Lexington, in October last, haYe had the same under consideration, and fraternally report: That the facts of the case are so fully stated by the M. Grand Master, that it is wholly unnecessary to recapitulate them. Nor do your committee deem it necessary to enter on an investigation of the previous action of this Grand 0 on the subject of the Masonic college, out of which the brethren calling said con.vention claimed the necessity for it.

'V.

It is perhaps sufficient to say, that we find in the circular report of the proceedings of the convention held at Lexington in June, 1859, as well as in the address of the several brethren protesting against the action of the Grand 0, which were referred to us, many expressions that, in the judgment of your comIllittec, are disrespectful to the Grand 0 as a body, and to many of its individual members, and derogatory to their dignity and honor, and which we think justified a severe rebuke at the hands of the M. W. Grand Master. In addition to the offensive language referred to, as used by the brethren calling said convention, your committee conceive that the convention itself was a body unknown to Masonic law, and on its face, tending to insubordination, if not revolution. We would not be understood as controverting tha right of individual Masons, to convene as other citizens, to inquire into any subject of grievance, and to devise ways and means to redress those grievances. On the contrary, the law of nature and self- preservation guarantee this right to all men in their individual and private capacity. But when it is Âˇproposed to meet in convention, as Lodges, as well as individual Masons, the very grave inquiry necessarily a.rises: By what warrant, or by virtue of what law may such a. body be convened? As your committee are advised, the only bodies known to lVIasonic law, are Grand e::eJ and Câ&#x201A;Ź:J subordinate thereto, either by virtue of a charter or of a dispensation; and such other minor organizations as may be established by legal enactment of the Grand D. In the case under consideration, the t:eJ are called upon in their organized capacity to meet in convention for the purposes in-

dicated. Could such a convention be opened as aD? Would not such an organization be substantially a clandestine D? If so, then assuredly was the ~I.W. Grand l\faster justified in the prompt exercise of his prerogative, in prohibiting the subordinate CftJ from participating in such a convention. Your committee are aware that a wide difference of opinion may exi~t, and does exist, on the point under discussion. Time and circumstances do not warrant us in drawing the distinction between the persoRal rights of individual Masons and the rights of Cftl in their organised capacity. We would entertain the hope, that the simple expression of disapprobation by this Grand 0 of all such conventions, may be sufficient to prevent the recurrence of 80 necessity for the exercise of the Grand Master's prerogative. It is much to be regretted, that so much acrimonious feeling should have being exhibited in connenon with the Masonic college, as has been presented in the proceedings of this Grand 0 for a few years past. Our proceedings show that many of us have been driven from our propriety, and indulged in feeling and la.nguage that J in eooler moments, we-have cause to regret. Whilst we do not for a. moment believe that the brethren who called the convention in question, deliberately designed to condemn and set at naught the authority of this Grand 0, nor yet that they were intentionally guilty of unmasonic conduct, in act or feeling, yet we as confidently express .the opinion that the whole proceeding was improper, uncalled for, and calculated to produce mischief only, and therefore, that the course of our M. W. Grand Master was correct in prohibiting the subordinate r::eJ from participating in said convention. Fraternally submitteu,

GRAND LODGE OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI:

The Committee on CE::J U. D. report that they have examined the returns from Waverly, Kansas City, Clay, Saline, Guilford, Jasper and Shelbina CftJ, and find that they have been recently organized, and done but little 路or no work, we therefore recommend that. their dispensations be continued. Unionville has failed to send up either a copy of their proceedings or by-laws, we recommend that their dispensation be continued. We have examined the proceedings and by-laws of Allenville, Bent, Wet Au Glaize, Westville, Quitman and McDowell CftJ, and find them to be correct. We recommend that charters be granted to each. And the members of McDowell 0 having requested it, we recommend that the charter to that 0 be by the name' of . Washburn D. The work and proceedipgs of Wellsville and Camden C拢J are correct. We recommend that Sec. 14 and 19 of the by-laws of Wellsville 0, and the last clause of the 1st Sec. of Art. 12 of the by-laws of Camden 0 be stricken out, so as to make them conform to the by-laws of the Grand 0, and that charters be granted them. The proceedings of Pleasant Ridge 0 are correct, and we recommend that a charter be graI}.tedupon a return of their dispensation. In the proceedings of Jamesport 0 we find some slight informalities, but the work is in the main correct, and we recommend a charter. We find that D. D, G, M. L. E. Williamson opened Pleasant Mount 0 U. D., and publicly installed the officers-with the exception of this error, for which we are not disposed to hold the o responsible, we find the work correct, and recommend a charter. A dispensation was granted by D. D. G. M John F. Houston to Chillicothe 0, which it is now alleged is not wanted, and the dispensatiQn is returned to the Grand 0, with a request that the fee for the same be refunded, which we recommend, it having I

been issued without the knowledge or consent of the 'V. :M. therein named. 'Ve have examined the returns of Quincy 0 U. D., in connection with the report of D. D. G. l\I. Murry, in relation to that D. We find that the dispensation was surrendered until the present meeting of the Grand O. From the state of affairs existing among the members of that 0, we think it best for the intere8t of the Craft, that they be permitted to work no more under that dispensation. We have examined the by-laws and proceedings of New Hope o U. D., and find the work correct. We find the latter clause of second Sec. of Art. 3 in their by-Iaw8 allows an appeal from the decision of the W. M., and the second Sec. of Art. 10, concerning demita, is contrary to the rule adopted by the Grand 0; we therefore recommend that they be stricken out, and that they have a charter. We have carefully examined the by-laws and proceedings of Rocky Mountain 0, at Camp Floyd, in Utah Territory, and are disposed to characterize them 3S a model return fur a 0 U. D., complete and perfect in all respects. 'Ve have no fears, from the showing they have made that the interest of the Craft will be permitted to Buffer under their management, in the far distant regions where they have commenced diffusing true l\iasonic light, and very cheerfully recommend a charter.

TIlE M.

GRAND 0

OF MISSOURI:

Your special committee to which was referred, at the last communication, the resolution of Liberty a No. 31, in regard to the redemption of its paid-up scholarships, would respectfully report, that they are unanimously in favor of redeeming every obligation of the Grand a of every kind. They can路, however, make no further suggestions than are contained in the Report of the Committee on College, and until the Grand 0 succeeds in obtaining, by legislative action, some such relief as therein set forth, the committee can offer no plan by which to reach the object contemplated by the resolution. They therefore ask to be discharged from the further considertion thereof. All which is respectfully submitted.

JOHN DECKER, Ch'n. Bro. Pindall, from special committee to whom was referred sundry petitions for the formation of new C8, submitted the following report, which was on motion adopted:

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

111

To THE M. W. GRAND 0 OF MISSOURI: Your committee to whom was referred the petitions of sundry Master Masons asking for dispensations to establish new CÂŁ:J at the following points within this jurisdiction, to-wit: at Laclede, in Linn county; at Quincey, in Hickory county; at Knob Noster, in Johnson county, report that they have had said petitions under consideration, and are satisfied that the brethren who have petitioned for the erection of a new 0 at Laclede, in the county of Linn, to be called Cypress, are worthy Master Masons, and that th~ three who have been recommended for appointment to the three principal offices, are qu~Jified to confer the three degrees appertaining to A. C. Masonry-that Laclede is over 8 miles from Linneus 0 No. 82, which is the nearest 0 to the proposed D. That R. W. Alfred Ma,nn, D. D. G. M. within and for that jurisciction, has recommended the erection of this 0, and your committee would recommend that a dispensation be granted as prayed for upon their complying with the regulations of this Grand O. Your committee further report, that the brethren 'W,ho have petitioned for a new 0 at Knob Noster, in Johnson county, are worthy Master Masons of sufficient skill, and that those recommended for the three principal officers, are qualified to confer the three degrees in A. C. Masonry-that they have a suitable hall, and are situated 9 miles from the nearest 0, and we recommend that their request be complied with. Your committee further report, thiu they have DO light before them authorizing the issuing of a dispensation for a new 0 at Quincy, in Hickory county t and therefore recommend that the prayer of the petitioners be not granted. We wish al80 to report that sundry brethren from Marion county, Mo., have applied for a dispensation to open a new 0 at the town of Emerson in said county. The application comes properly recommended from Palmyra 0, from which it is some 12 miles distant. We therefore recommend, that the prayer of the petitioners be

granted upon their complying with the regulations of this Grand D. All of which is respectfully submitted.

L. A. PINDALL, JOHN D. VINCIL, JAMESE. DRAKE. Bro. Draper offered the following resolutions, which were, on motion, adopted:

Resolved, That Bro. Carnegy be notified by Bro. Grand Secre.. tary to report his action in reference to the notes of W. Hassinger, whether collected or not, and h(}w appropriated. Resolved, That 80 soon as evidence of the payment of the notes of said Hassinger is furnished to the M. W. Grand Master, he be authorized to execute a deed for the real estate 801d to Mr. Hassinger, in accordance with the bond which he holds. The following report of the Committee on the College, as amended, was again presented, read, and, on motion, the same was unanimously adopted:

M. W.

GRAND t:l OF MISSOURI:

The Committee on College would respectfully report, that they have had 'under consideration that portion of the Grand Master's Address referred to them; as, also, the reports of the Board of Endowment Fund Commissioners; the report of :Bro. R. M. Henderson, and other papers relating to the College: They find that the property of the College, with the philoBOphi... cal apparatus, lib,rary, &c., is valued at $31,127 00, by Bro. Henderson-and that up to May 10, 1859, the amount of the Endowment Fund 'was $4196 84-and that the amount since collected of Endowment Fund, with interest accrued" since May 10, 1859, amounts to aboTe $1000, which will make all the disposable assets somewhat over $36,000.

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

113

The Grand 0, having at its last session determined to "close the College sine die," it deyolves upon the Committee to suggest some plan by which the property may be disposed. of and the assets made available for whatever purpose the Grand 0 secs fit to appropriate them. In determining such plan the Committee meet with many difficulties. The grand object to be attained is to. settle everything so that none may'go away dissatisfied, and that every debt due by the Grand 0 may be honorably and amicably adjusted. ImpOTtant legal ques~ion8 arise in the discussion, involving relations of the most intricate character. We are informed by a representative from one of the CEJ at Lexington, that it is the wish of the citizens of Lexington and Lafayette county, that the Grand 0 shall make such disposition of the College as shall secure to them the continuance of an institution of learning of the higher grades. And that if the Grand 0 will so far sustain the faith of its obligations to them, they will receive such action as a fulfillment of aU obligations of every kind whatsoever. t

Your Committee are informed, also, that the State of Missouri will entertain a proposition for the transfer of the College propel路ty-for the purposes of a Military Normal School, to be supported by its patronage-and that such disposition of the College property will meet the full approbation of the citizens of Lexington and Lafayette county. In order to carry out such a proposition, at once, it may be necessary to procure an enactment, by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, repealing so much of the charter of this Grand 0 as requires the establishment and sustentation of institutions of learning, approved Feb. 17, 1843. One of the provisions of that charter is as follows: " Should the corporation aforesaid neglect, fail, or rf'fuse to set up and keep the institution of lea,rning aforesaid as herein contemplated, for the spare of five years together, in that event the premises held by said corporation shall be sold to the highest

114

GRAND LODGE A. F. A. MASONS

bidder, or on a credit of one, two, three, four, five, six and 3even years, by a commissioner, to be appointed }J aaid corporation for that purpose, etc." Another of said proyisions is as follows: "And provided further, that the right of any future legislature to alter, amend or repeal this act is hereby reserved." Upon the above data, therefore, your Committee recommends as follows: 'WHERAS this Grand 0 sees and feels, in the present 5tate of disaffection among the fraternity, the entire impossibility of carry. ing on the College 8uccessfully, therefore be it resolved:

That the Grand 0 does not desire, by it5 acts, to be esteemed regardless and reckless of the rights and interests of others, which have been entrusted to their keeping, which trust was made in good faith. AND WHEREAS we are informed that a firzt-c1aSii institution i;:; all the people, who feel themselves agrieved, desire, whether it be conducted by this body or the State of :Missouri, therefore

2d.

Provided alway8, That any act that may so repeal the 3'aid charter, ~h311 not interfere with, or in any way les3en any rights which have aris~n, and no" exist, in any relatious between the Grand 0 and any persons whomsoever, but reserving to such persons a.ll rights and d'3mand8 whatsoever.

And shall said commissioners fail to consummate n. negotiation with the State, then they shall be invested with full power to negotiate with :my person, persons, institution or institutions upon the condition that the aseignee or assignees 8hall forever sustain an ingtitution of learning on the land of ~aid college of the highest branches of science. 5th.

Should an offence be committed by one who has taken up his residence, the 0 which has jurisdiction over the place where he resides is the body to whom the charges will have to be preferred, as we have no rule that authorizes a change of venue.

"That the 27th Sec., 4th Art., of the By-Laws of this Grand 0, shall not be se construed as to prohibit an applicant for initiation or membership from applying to any 0 in this jurisdiction
