ANNUAL ADDRESS.

Officers and Mmabers of the M. W. Grand CJ of Ml88ouri:

My BBETRRBN-Seventeen moons have waxed and waned since the gavel's sound in the Grand East signaled our departure from "this sacred retreat of friendship and virtue." While engaged ~ the varied concerns and employmenta of the world, the stern con1licts and earnest battle of life, we have all enjoyed ample opportunity to become wi-.er, grow stronger and be better men and Masona. If these desirable and necessary attainmenta have not been secured, we have lived in vain, and our tim.e, with our labors, have been spent Co:,naught. Having pa.'lSed through the toil~ of another oftlcial year, we repair at ita close to this holy sanctuary to give account, in some measure, of our stewardship, to draw new designs upon the great trestle·boardof moral effort, and to mature our plans for further, future and for more practical usefulness. The !lAVerS call, that to-day bids us repair to our stations and enter upon the duties of the present session, falls not upon ears long used to ita potent sound. The voice of fraternal greeting that rang so cheerily this morning through the hall met with no response from many" brethren beloved," who in other days" hailed us gladly welcome" as we came up to our annual feast. The busy, animating hum of warm recognitions and joyous reunions witnessed here to-day stir not the deep slumbers nor break the dreamless repose of our noble co-workers of the cherished past. We look in vain for faces that long made perfect the group of fraternity wont to assemble with us in our annual communications. We miBB from our ranks to-day thOile noble forms that hitherto stood among us as towers <>f strength, with whom we took "sweet counsel" in the days of other years. We find not here the vigilant and ever faithful watchmen that stood so long upon the walls of our Masonio Israel, whose voices were oracular in the councils of Missouri Masonry. The "trumpet," that never gave an .. uncertain sound," sil1;nals not the Craft; to duty or to the K1'8nd battle for the right, but has fallen from the nerveless grasp of our war-worn veterans. Truly may we ex.claim, with aU the touohing pathos of Oriental sorrow, •• The /"t1l,." ! where are they? and the prophet, ! do they Jive torever ?"

Nay, but they have C.dod from our view like some grand vision, receding with splendid radiance and culminating glorY, till lost and enshrouded amid the grandeur of the U:fSUN. Farewell, noble brothers! ·We find here that there is many .. A vacant ohair."

It has been well said, that .. God buries his workmen, but carries on his work." Such a sentiment is the dcer utterance of a faith more simple and trustiul than childish innocence -more sublime than philosophy's hhthest revealments. Such faith in God is the mighty cabling of the true :Masonic

heart to the" sure and the steadfast" - "Hope in immortality" - amid the wildest fury-blaat that bears down .. Our f01ld..t hopes and dearest J01l."

With faith in God - 'till well founded no where else - hope in immortality, the only safe anchorage, and living, heart-warming charity, the surviving Craftsman may deck the graves of departed worth with evergreens, and preserve their deeds embalmed with more than Accacia's verdant freshness in the repository of faithful breasts. Then "Let elckDeee blut, let death del'our. Heaven will recompen.. oar paloll; Perbb the gt'II88, and fade tbe flow." Yet ...... the Word of God remalna."

Though the workmen fall, the work still ~oes on. And whv? Becauae of the grel\t iMerent PIUNCIPLEB that vitalize the Masonic institution. J speak not of the progrestl of the work, which many regard as the only evidence of prosperity and vitality, viz.: increase in nu~al strength. It is the well settled and profound conviction of my judgment that, in very many respects, progress ill not impro"ement. It more fully IIoccords with the elements of our nature to hurry along the easy, inviting broad way than to walk the narrow and more difficult path of healthful restraint and self-denial. The safest and best leaden to guide us to sure and permanent success are not the progressives, who ever cry " onward," with no well-dedned idea, save a canting latitudinarianillm. In the BIlnse in which sU<;h ded~ll'; progress, it will be found wiser and better to stand still, or, to use a triiEt"expression, "Make haste to go slow." Discarding the cbeck-reil'ls of every moral restraint and consideration of safety, .uch mud-pool adventuren apply whip and spur, career, jehu-like, madly on; shout theIllflelves hOllne with the ad captandllln vociferation of progress, as if adtlamement were rea.lly imprgvcment. Such men, instead of awaiting the results to be wrought out by great principlcs and all-potent causes, will not stand &till and" see the salvation of God," but with blind impetuosity, and a fanaticism often mistaken for zeal, without any of the elements of knowledge, would have TUBhed the Israelites into the sea under the idea of simply going a.head. "Such men would have dashed into tbe Jordan in advance of the pioneering ark of truth and safety, or burned stran~e 1lre upon the consecrated altar of God, just for the sake of being in advance of others, and exciting the gapin~ wonder of the shallow minded, or gratifying the silly vanity of their own novel-wol'llhiping natures. It enten largely into the fool18h and noisy rab,ble-cry of these auperftcial days to prate about progress and advancement, inStead of grasping the grander and more vitally important ideas of dCl1elopmem and imprOfJement. As contra-distinguished from such noisy babble about progrcs!, I repeat, that the work of Masonry gocs on, as it is energized, vitalized, lind grandly emphasized, by the great truth~ anlll inner principles that render our institu-

tion emphatically active and enterprising. Such. truths are li"e truths, and give life, vigorous life, to the cause in which they are embodied. Such principlllllllS our Order claims can never die. They are of no human origin. ÂˇNo ll,nite mind produced them. They are .the products of the Divine Architect, living emanations from the Fountain of universal good. The high-toned HOB.U.ITT, brotherly love, relief and truth, the temperance, fortitude, pru-.o dance and justice, with faith, hope and charity of Masonry, present an array of virtues, principles and graces that constitute the brightest adornments of human character. And he only is the trlu Mason who is poSSe880r of these, who prefers them to silver and gold, and holds their value to be above the priCA of rubies. Can such principles, virtues and truths &8 we hold to be cardinal ever die! Nay, my brethren. All el!e may sulfer change. The IIln on his fire-throne may grow dim wUh age, and cease to sway the sceptre of light o'er the empire of universal being; the silver qlleen that" rules the ~" and walks the azure vault amid a bright host of celestial sisters, may wane and wax no more; ear'n, the sin-cursed abode of man, may realize the long groaned for deliverance, and rise, decked with primal beauty, to roll forever amid the purified spheres and attendant worlds, constituting the new . heavens and new earth; the .besom sweep of mutation will carry away all the greatness and glory of man, and entomb the whole in the remorseless, starless, amrelumable night of oblivion. The voitle of wisdom, venerable as eternal centuries, comes fioating over the ages, and sounds in our ears the knell to aU earthly greatness and human ambition-" All fiesh is grass, and all the glory of man as the flo"'llr of grass; the gra88 withereth, and the flower thereof !aneth away." But can principles die? Is not truth, beautiful an~el of the skies, eternal? Theso must, ye"" will live, fer God is eternal, and "I AM: " is true. The great and vital principlee of Masonry, that only give it character anI! worth, like mountain springs dancing in the sunlight of the ages, are drops from the ever flowing FULLNESS, and, like the fountain whence they dpring, justly lay claim to the exalted prerogative of eternity. These principles are active as they are eternal. This must be so. All vital elements in the universe are active. Stagnation is death. Godhead works. Cr"ation attests it. Inflnite energy is displayed by the ever active IKTELLIGENCE. The universe is a great workshop, filled with the busy hum of living industry. The sun, bright eye of the world, shines, permeating with warm life, and bathing with smilCll! all things. Water ftows. â&#x20AC;˘'Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stny In all their conne;

hybrid progeny, ever active, and ever trenc1l.ing upon the GOOD and the BIGHT. Earth is full ()f wrong, and groans with evils, and shivers with blights. Sighs and tears, anguish llnd wretchedness are but the imperfect representatives of the fearful group seen in the dark panorama of moving human ills. Where all these nnd ten thousand more abound, are there no counteracting agencies-no neutralizing powers! It m~t be so. 'Tis divinely certain. Abroad in the moral empire of the Ete1'1lal there is at work the all-pervading, ever active, "All-working Good." That Spirit which brooded with creative energy o'er the dark deep-when creation's twilight had faintly illumined the scene, nnd evoked light out of darkness-tlll\t Spirit has evoked into being great principles for the amelioration of the ills with which humanity is blighted. Agencies are at work, sanctioned and emphasized, with an energy that is superhuman. Truth grapples error in all its forms and developments. The conflict is becoming more int,ensified !lnd earnest, as the good and true rush to the battle, imbued with a higher sense of the RIGIn'. The i$Sue is not doubtful. God reigns. Truth is mighty and eternal. Faith is lInfllltering and all inspiring. Hope is sure and steadfllst. Charit)路 faileth not. The moral inflnences of our IIncient and honorable institntion are deeply, grandl)' lind certainly at work. They are active and entcrpri.ing. They are telling surely, if not rapidly. Im]l1'ovement is ]l1'ogl'e.~8 in the right direction, !lnd of & healthy character. This work of improvement goes on, and is acquiring moral force in an encouraging degree. That this healthy improvemcnt is not all that we can desire, is pninfully true. But we must not relax our efforts, nor" weary in well doing." for in due time we shall renl' the fuller harvest, if we faint not. Multiplied, alld ever multiplrin~, evidences nrc nWorded Ill! over these lands that our institution is n great mornl necessity, one that harmonizes with every interest of our race, with all the principles of divine religion, and with the demands of society. The principles of the Order 'lit work among men are constnntly, actively demonstratin~ thnt necessity, and hence tlle numerous accessions to our rnnks. That among thc mnny who nspiro to our fraternal associations there should be found those promptcd by unworthy motives, forms no argument agninst the fnct thnt tlle Order has a deep hold upon tho true regards and esteem of good mcn. And that therc are those already in thc Order whosc li~C8 stt\lld as pnlpable contradictions of evcry principle ofl1nsonry, is II truth that ClIn not be denied. But we should think none the Ic$S of the principles and tcnchings of thc Order, because many hnve stultified themseh'es, or beeausc they nre too obtuse, morally, to pcrceive the bcnnties of trnth, or to.o per\'erse to be led to the practice, out of the 0, of wlJllt they Icnrn in our moral schools. Dut 'tis Imllla}~ to err. And while the prerogativc to forgive is divinc, 'tis our's, ws )1II80ns, to .. Chide mildl>" Ihe erring."

As Quite a lengthy period has intervened since we were nsscmllled in Grand Communicntion, it is due JOU, nnd tllc emft lit largc in our jlllisdic-

tion, that something more than rambling moralizingll should emanate from the Grand:But. The law requires of the Gn.nd :Master to present a "deta.iled account of his acts during recess, the state and condition of :Masonry in this jurisdiction, and recommend such measures as he may deem expedient." I now proceed to obey said statute. 'Tis proper to observe here that the duties of the office having devolved on me for nearly eighteen montbs, owing to change by law of the time of our Grand Communication, constituting emphat.icallya long term. I have had necessarily a much larger amount of official business to transact than usual. The first official act路ofmy term was the execution of a deed to C. C. Canby for the land sold bv tbis Grand 0, known as the " Hassinger Farm." The deed was made in strict conformity to the action of the Grand Cl, as found on page 184 of its printed journal for 1866. In this connection I may state that the charge of Bro. B. S. V oorbis of fifty dollars for writing deed in the transfer of college property at Lexington was presented me for payment, for which I iseued a warrant on the Grand Treasurer. Soon after the cloee of our last annual seMion a warrant on our Grand Treasurer was issued for five thousand dollars in mvor of the :Masonic Hall Association, half of the amount of stock taken by this Grand Cl in said association, as found on page 168 of last printed proceedings. No further call has been made by said association for the unpaid stock subscribed. In relation to our present and prospective interests in the enterprise, I doubt not you will be fully advised at this term. DISPENSATIONS. A larger number of dispensations have been granted since last se88ion than at any period during the history of our Grand 0. The report of our R. W. Gl'8nd Secretary will show the number, names and locations of Cib U. D., and the parties to whom granted. A number of petitions for dispensations have been refused, for reasons amply satisfactory. While I have long been earnestly opposed to the l!Iltablishment of so many Cib in our jurisdiction, and to the granting of dispensations for Cib at so many points, yet to a.lloid doing so in numerous instances is the difficulty. And I am not sure but my own course is somewhat reprehensible in the premises. I am led to believe. however, that no harm has resulted, but rather good, to the Order from the grants made the past Masonic year. The truth is, my brethren, in 80me instances I have been exceedingly at a loss to know how to act. In every case where an application was made for a dispensation the papers would come up in due form, and everything be in entire conformity to the law. The proposed location being, in numerolll! instances, where I could not in person visit the brethren and investigate the surroundings, I was left whoUy to the guidance of the pape1'll, the recommendations of the nearest 0, and not unfrequently to some District Deputy or other prominent brethren known to me. Tbose always earllutly recommend tbat the prayer of the petitione1'll be granted.

GRA.ND LODGE OF MISSOURI.

No alternative was left me but to order the dispensation, or be charged with an arbitrary exercise of official power in refusing. In no case have I granted a dispensation until satisfted fully that "the inteNsts of Masonry would not suffer by the formation of the proposed D." I required to the fullest possible extent (in my power) a rigid compliance with the law before giving permission for any new 0 to commence work. 'Tis due myself that I should remark that three causes have conspired to swell the list of CÂŁl U. D. First, the length of my ojJicial term affording much longer time in which applications have matured for dispensations: second, the condition of the country has been peculiarly favorable to the building up of new t:e:J all over the Statll. The rapid. development and improvements of many portions of our great commonwealth have caused quite a looking up in this respect among good lind trusty Craftsmen. Along our public thoroughfares new lind rapidly growing towns have sprung up into being, lind older points have started up from the war-caused apathy. In many of these places brethren, with commendable enterprise and zeal, had erected excellent halls, furnished them handsomely, and then applied far authority to meet and work as t:e:J. The truth is, to have refused them would have been to act arbitrarily and without cause. III the third place, dispellsations have been granted to organize t:e:J at vllrious points where our Order had ftourished in other years. But during the war brethren had been scattered and sorely impeded, their CÂŁJ broken up, their halls destroyed, and their property in many instances carried off. With blessings of returnillg peace these scattered brethren, with others settling among them from abroad, have felt the reviving ftres kindled on the altars of their masonic hearts, and prayed for" a habitation and a name." Everything else being fair, I could not answer them "nay." In no single instance have I ever dispensed to any set of brethren official authority to meet and work as a 0 until I had "sifted them as wheat" in every conceivable respect, Especially have I sought to guard the interests of Masonry most carefully relative to the moralll of the applicants, as well as the communities in which they operate and from which they are to draw their material. One other condition had to be satisfactorily met in advance, i. e.: the security of the new CJ from the accursed partilan fuZing that too many Masons permit to control their actions and color their ideas of Masonic duty, Although so l1/.any t:e:J have been set to work, brethren all over :Missouri will bear me witness that upon moralll and partyilm they had to present a clear record, and found it no cally matter to obtain authority to start new CÂŁl. As to my labOl'1I during recess, it does not become me to speak. I have no eisposition to parade myself before the fraternity, I bve only to say, .. I have done what I could," and 8truggled to be a lille Grand Master, and to make myself felt among the workmen. Yielding to no man living in my devotion to Masonry, with an honest purpose, a warm heart, a willing mind,

and a firm persuasion of the right, I have toiled for" the good of the Order" for seventeen months, and laid upon the o.ltars of our cherished institution tho best energieR of my being. During my official term" I have fought the good fight" for truth, and am proudly, joyously conscious of having done good for our cause and for our race. But my labors must be my eulogist. During recess six corner stones of public enterprises of the country havlo been laid with the honors of Masonry al1d by the Graud D, emlracing courthouses, school buildings, churches, temples o.nd railroad bridges. At four of these assemblages I had the honor to be present o.nd preside liS your Grand Mllster, viz.: at Platte City, St. Louis, Kansas City and Breekinridge. The oth<lr occasions W<lre presided over by my distinguish~d brethren. I allude to these instances, not so much for official enumeration, as to show :he profound regard and high veneration in which our Order is h~ld by the various associations of men in our day and generation. In the performance of duty, I have made 8ixty official visits: dedicated twelve new halls to "Freemasonry, Virtue and universl11 Benevol~nce." The number of officers installed and addr~sses delivered in pr~sence of the Craft and citizeos of the country have b~en very large. I have madefody public speeches on the 8ubject of Masonry, in this jurisdiction, since my election, before brethreo and citizens amounting to, at least, fv1路ty tlw1I8un,z in the aggregate. I have constituted four CE::J under the charters !-:l'Ilnted them by this Grand D I1t its last meeting, besides setting to work, with proper instructions, several Cfb under dispensations I-,rrl1nted them this Jellr. The duty has devolved upon me to preside in quite a number of vcry delicate and important trials during my term of office. Tr1l4ing in路Him who guides the meek in judgment, and holding firmly the scale;; of justice in cqulll poisc, I enjoy the satisfaction of having seen the mo~t harmonious rewlts Ilud full concurrence of all the good and law-abiding craftsmeu of the CEJ where I presided. During the absence of the \V. )1. of one of the CEJ in this State, att.endin~ thelllst session of this Grund body, havinq with him the chartel', in obedience to an order made at our session in l!loii, the brethren met in so-called stilted commnnieations, trnnsaeteu bu~ines.~ lind wellt through the farce of mising two Fellow Crafts to the Sublime Degree. 'With the well-known l'o!;ition of thc present G. )f. as to the legal stiltus of a D lind what constitutes it, you ml1Y justly infer that the whole proceeding WIIS declared null and void, and the meeting held for naught. I ordered the mual course to be pursued with the Fellow Crafts, and if eleet<ld, the third degree to be conferred as if the gathcring of brethren had never tllken place while theil' charter was ill l:lt, Louis. Dispensl1tions hl1ve been granted to several CEJ to elect their officers after the time of their regular election, they having flliled, from various Clluses, to elect 'on the day prescribed by their By-Laws. A number of applications

have been presented, praying most earnestly for permiaeion to. confer the degrees of :Masonry upon .. divel'll and sundry" parties in advance of the time prescribed by the law of the Grand 0.

r need scarcely mention the fact ora moo emphatic refusal being my reply. Being unqualifiedly opposed to the principle, 1 should grant no such privileges to anyone under any conceivable circuDllltances if I had the authority to do so. But I deny, without hesitation, the right of any oftl.cer of this Grand tJ to grant permlsiion to any 0 in Missouri to confer any degree or degrees upon applicants in advance ot the legally prescribed time. The law says with emphasis, that "the Grand Master shall have no power to IlU8perad the operation of any By-Laws of this Grand 0." The By-Laws of this Grand o require petitions for initiation to lie over om month. To act upon it in advance ofthat time is a violation of that law, even if some progrUriH .0tBcial should assume to exercise unauthorized prerogatives and suspend the law by granting a dispensation. The same. principle is true in reference to receiving the remaining degrees. No candidate is legally entitled to the honol'll of Masonry until he is eteeted. to receive them; and he is not legally d-ected except it be at a stated meeting, after examination in the 0 that is to ballot tor him. And no meeting of a 0 is a stated. except held at the time prescribed in its By-Laws. How, then, can anyone receive the degrees in advance of the regular time! But the defenders of .. high pretogatives" will tell us that, by .. official permission," a candidate may be elected to receive all the degrees at one meeting-that being stated. How so? The law says, "no candidate shall receive more than one degree at the same communication." A candidate is regularly initiated on the first day of June. After his initiation by "official permission," he is examined in open 0, and of course is found very proficient the same evening; then he is balloted for, and elected to receive the second degree. It can wt be conferred at that meeting, for the law forbidS two degrees being conferred at the same communication j but the Grand Master or Grand Bomdody else IlU8pellds the law and allows him to advance. This is bidding defiance to the law, which says that no By-Law of this Grand CJ ahallile suspended. But let the candidate (say some) be examined the night he is iniUated, elected and passed the next day. Then, when will he receive the third degree? He can not be balloted tor till the lIe~t stated meetinw unless there is a resort to the absurd practice of electing men to receive degrees lIefor. their examination as to proficiency, which the law equally forbids. 'Tis absolutely mortifying to see what dodging and twisting some men resort to in order to evade the plain letter of the law and its obvious mea~ while trying to get some favorite into our Order. Another subject has been presented and urged upon my attention with a zeal well calculated to awaken all the sympathies of my Dature. I allude to the many earnest appeals in behalf of a large class of ollr fcllow-oountrymen who are unfortunate, having maiDlll and defects, &c., in their bodies, whereby

they are disqualified to receive a knowledge of the mystic art. An unusually large number of petitions have boon prl!l!ented, praying for" official permission" to receive candidates who had lost limbs of various kinds, feet, legs, fin. gers, hands nnd arms, rendered thereby physically defective beyond question. Indeed, m~' refusal to comply with the ardent wishes of some hall called down upon me quite a storm of displeasure. One pert brother abused me not a little for my firm maintenance of the law in refusing to allow a 0 to confer the second and third degrees on an E. A. who had lost his right arm above the elbow, but used very expertly an artificial arm. His strictures upon my decisions and upon the law were quite refreshing! It would be quite interesting to this body lind all intelligent Masons to read the rea.ons assigned and pressed upon me why I should extend official clemency and permission. Some of the more potent considerations were that the worthy characters held high official positions, or had "fought nobly" in the bloody war of parties. The law of 1859, passed by this Grand 0, hall been my general answer when I felt indisposed to enlarge upon the question. I have nothing to say against these unfortunates. I pity them and sympathize with them. But I do say that pleas urged by the friends of such, and in their behalf, would readily prejudice any discreet officer in Masonry. The law upon which my refusal in every case hILS been bILSed is as follows: ResollJed, That it is incompetent for any CJ under this Jurisdiction to confer eil.her of the three degrees upon any person whose phYSical defects are such as to prevent him from c~ftmning ltterally to all the requirements of the Order.-[Adopfed 1859.

I have this finnl remllrk to make concerning the suspension of laws of the Grand 0 and the int,erference of official prerogativ~, so-called: If the law is !load, none should seek to evade ita force, nor should it be let aside by any power save the one that made it. If it work a hardship on any, let them patiently submit till they can obtain redress from the law-making power. During 1866, a charge of "unmasonic conduct" was preferred against Bro. Gco. Wharton, S. W. of Pride of the West 0, No. 179, and at that time Acting A-fl1ster of the same. The charge and specifications involved his official character, and called for official action. The papers were sent to me by the Deputy of the District, through whose hands they came to mine. In accordance with section 21 of article xxviii, I caused a copy of the charge and specifications to be served on Bro. Wharton, and suspended him from the exercise of his official fUlictions till this session of the Grand 0, and cited him to appear before this body to answer tho complaint filed Iigainst him. The control and government of the 0 was placed in the hands of Bro. Wm. P. Mullen, J. W. of said o. The papers in the case are herewith submitted and marked" A." In this connection, I think the Grand 0 will do well to define and settle a question growing out of section 21 of article xviii of our By-Laws. The literal terms of that section make it the imperative duty of the G. M. to suspend any member of the Grand CJ when charges are preferred. The language leaves

him no discretion. He "SHALL forthtJJith suspend him." If no alternative is left tIle G. M., it places the Masten and Wardens of Cib at the mercy of factious membel'!!, who may trump up any class of charges simply to gratify personal spleen. Such a state of the case WJ18 presented recently. A charge of "unmasonic conduct in officil\l capacity" was presented vs. Bucklin 0, No. 288, Bro. Thos. Job90n, Master. The cbarges were whol_le and sweeping. The law (in section 21 of article xviii) says .. forthwith BtUpend." Knowing the character oftbe accused to be above suspicion in every sense, and tbe prosecutor being a malcontent, I refused to .. suspend," but summoned every member, constituted myself" a court of inquiry," and investigated tbe indictment. The whole thing proved to be falae, and Willi nothing more than an infamous ClIlIe of " malicious prosecution." Many such cases may occur. You deftne whl'ther the Grand MlIlIten "shall suspend" or exercise due caution, then great evils will be avoided. Permission hllll been granted to several Cib to move from buildings formerly occupied as halls to others more secure and more advantageously located. Various causes set up by the brethren showed that tbe move in every case would be greatly beneficial. This was especially so in the ClIlIC of Chapman 0, No. 95, Fort Union, New Mexico. The papers in said clllle are herewith submitted, marked" B." Twelve months ago to-day I received a lengthy communication from a number of members of Lafayette 0, No 32, located at Lexington, praying me to arrest the charter of that 0 for causes whicll I deemed sufficient, which were wholly of a political character. The history of tbat 0 during the last few yeal'll, -especially under the efficient and judicious administration of my predecessor, G. M. Houston, induced the belief that ")lucy sbould know her appointed houds, And turn to vengelLlllle tbere." ~e charter was arrested, and so should every charter in the State for similar cause3. I submit the papers in the CMe, marked "0," feeling perfectly assured of havin~ simply done my duty. The papers show that good and true men were endeavoring to preserve Masonry in Lexington in its purity and integ路 rity. With such names as Cloudesley, Boulware, Price and the Rylanda speaking against the evils in their 0, I felt assured sometbing was wrong. P. G. M. Ryland, who for purity, ability and integrity stands far above suspicion, arrested the cbarter by my order, and took cbarge of the eft'ects bf the D. A dispensation was subsequently granted to several 'brethren, and Lafayette 0 U. D. has since been harmoniously ,.t work.

rendered doubly sure by the cordial recommendation and endorsement of R. W. Bro. Dunscomb, Deputy Grand Master ot this Grand D. I have extended the same permission to R. W. A. K. Long, D. D. G. M., with others, to open and conduct a school for Masonic instruction in Greenfield, Mo., under the charter of the 0 in that place. From the good character lind masonic efficiency of the officers and brethren in both places above named no question arises as to the good resulting from such labors. Would that our brethren throughout the entire jurisdiction had struck this note of real improvement years ago and taken a wider range of thought as to the living elements and principles of Speculative or moral Freemasonry. November 30, 1866, ordered a new charter to issue to Livingston 0, No. 51, at Glasgow, the old one having become so defaced as to be illegible. Application made by H. Clay Cockerell, the W. M. During the past term the hall, charter, and all effects of Pauldiugville 0, No. 11, were destroyed by fire. I issued an order for a duplicate charter to James L. Boswell and others, and authorized the to move from Millville, its former location, to Wright City, ill order to secure a hall in which to meet. Knob Noster W, No 245, lost its charter, and a duplicate ordered also. The hall of Warrensburg 0, U. D., was destroyed by fire after they commenced work. A duplicate dispensation was ordered. A number of applications have been made for permission to use jewels OI CE!:J that had ceased to work. The applications have generally been grl\nted, with special orders to have all said jewels at this session of the Grand 0, that this bodymav make such disposition of them as maybe deemed proper. Since the adjournment of our Grand 0, seventeen months ago, portions of our jurisdiction have been fearfully visited by a blighting epidemio, especially St. Louis. The destroying angel, as of old, sped forth on dark wing, entering homes where hitherto all had been light and joy. How mllny paled in his presence !lnd drooped at his touch! The dark shadow that crossed 60 many domestic thresholds in city and COU:ltry, unannounced pass"d the sacred portals of Masonry, regardless of Tyler and drawn swvtd, and shrouded our mystic temple in weeds of woe. For he summonel from our ranks many of th6 noblest I\nd the best, and hurried them through the misty vale to the undiscovered lllnd. We to-day mourn the absence of many loved and departed. For ODe

how many hearts were well nigh broken, too. But, while there was "fear in the way," and "mourn~rs went about the streets," or followed their 10"ed dead to their silent homes; while 路many were afraid of the" terror by night und the arrow that flew by day," where were found the true and faithful craftsmen? A.t the post of duty, nobly battling for the suffering, and standing, as in the midst of a pest-hollse, minbtering to the dJ"ing. Masonry, embodied in the aC!i0118 of such men, was like a pure seraph from heaven, with ge!ltle wing hovering where the death angel had brooded. See, in that home where dark, drearj", henrt-crnshing desolation reigned-where contagion thickened-whence nearly all the home-lights had fl\ded, and silence, dolep as the low twelve of the grave, wrapped the few remaining, or pcrh'aps dyillg, remnants of a once happy home! 'Whose presence is thnt. like the sun breaking through a eloud, now shining nmid thnt scene of gloom, or standing, as a mercy messenger, with tho dend, the dying and the despairing? Once gazed upon, that sweet-fllcd angel will never be forgotten; once heard, that gentle voice ",ill ring forever through the deep chambers of.man's !tumortality. I need not introduce you, and say that angel is MASoKIC CHARITY. How many homes were brightened by her presenee that otherwise had remained forever shrouded in the sn.ble shadas of sorrow-how many hearts were gladdened by her voice that otherwise had never joy kno':/n again, the opening archives of God will only unfold at the grand convocation of the final judgment.

penetrated into the deep reasoning of the great heart of Ma@onry; he studied Its PIl8t- back to the farthest memory and records of man; he compllred the work of 10000lities with the great framework of the Continent and of Europe; he analvzed word by word, sentence by sentence through every degree, from the petition of the Initiate up to the ll18t step of the finished Mason. He was one of those men who could be satisfied with nothing less than perfection ftS far as the hnman mind could carry him. His great and grandest pri~" '\lias the Grand D of Missouri; his ambition was to see her second to no otler jurisdiction in tne univel'de in the perfection of her work. He traveled from the Lakes to the Gulf, and from the Mississippi to the Atlantic in search of every ray of light that had not yet Jlenetrated hill own masonic home, and with a most remarkable memory, he lost nothing he acquired; but by the force of analogy and his own strong mind he brought order out of chaos, and at the sacrifice of health and comfort, ease and profit, he visited every corner of our Commonwealth, and there relit the pure fires of rational Masonry upon the altar of every D. He grappled prejudice and ignorauce with a giant hand, and broke down the barriers of false doctrines as though they were cobwebs. When once satisfied his work was right, he allowed no'tampering with it by itinerant peddlers and lecturers from abrol\d, but covered the ~roud monument of his labors by the broad mantle of Grand D authority. There was, perhaps, no man of his times who had such great masonic difficulties to overcome, and nQne perhaps that ever so 8ucce88fully conquered them. He bas left the impr088 of his signet upon the works and lectures of this jurisdiction that can never be effaced; there is a system, a harmony and a force of character in his work that will not easily pll.Sll away, His mi88ion as Grand Lecturer he I\lways recognized as the greatest mission of his life, because he appreciated the great BOul of Masonry, and struggled to see it embedied in the perfect similitude of its own harmonious character. Discord in work, next to discord in the D, caused bim inexpressible mortification; and it is no wondel', then, that having gone out into the broad field of his labor-'" having led the blind by a way they knew not-made darkness light before them and crooked things straight," that he should be known the country over as the g!'eat " Masonic Lycurgus of Mi88ouri." He had mingled with the best and greatest of the Order, and was at "OrM wherever he went, for his genial nature, his exuberant love for hi@ fellows and the warm heart that he ever carried in his hand secured him a life invitation to every roMonic fireside of the land. Loved thus by stran/1:er@, can we be blamed for lovin!!,: his memory with almost the devotion of children for whom he had done so muehl He had struggled', and saved here a little nnd tnere a little from his salary. and gathered together a librftry of the choicest masonic works and publisherl proceedings to be presented by his dying breath to bis beloved Grand D as I, monument of his hfe-Iong ambition to see her stand full and square upor th: basis of masonic intelligence. In this he has set .\ bright example to his successors to observe and preserve everythin~ that will be of use to the Craft, and thus form the nucleus for a magnificent and valuable collection. But it was in the domestic circle that the beauty of his charucter most shone forth; it was there that he unfolded the tender leaves of his heart, upon which could be found no dark spot of unkindne88 or reproach. At his fireside the poorest and richest were alike at home-there was a kind word and thfl hospitable cup for all. That he should have had faults or eccentricities is only to acknowledge his humanity; but those who knew him best were best prepared to make due allowances for the yetmJ of intense agony during the latter period of his life, caused by an incurable disease; but "take him all in all, we shall not ilOon see his like again." This importlmtiife was brought to a close on the morning of the 11th of August at half'pB.llt nine o'clock, after having remained at his desk until four o'clock tbe evenin~ before. At midnight his as!'istant was sent for, and arriving at his bedside -at half'past one he recognized him and gave him the IMt injunctions of his office, and spoke hislastmo.sQnic words on earth, which were

Thus have we given a brief picture of the life and death of ANTHONY O'SULLIVAN, with whose departure hence went out one of the brightest masonic lights that ever ahone in Missouri.

Resol"ed, That this Grand 0 l'xtends its heartfelt sympathy and consolation to the bereaved widow, who hM thus lost a kind, affectionate and worthy husband, jointing her to that bright and glorious immortality that faueth not. away, lin to have an abiding hope in the reunion of the redee路aod. Resolved, Thut the CEJ Within this jurisdiction be directed to drape their halls, furniture lind jewels in mourning for tbe space of six months. Resol"ed, That a copy of these reSolutions be pl'cscnted to the widow of Brother ANTHONY O'8ULLIVAN, lind copies thereof, with the proceedings of this Grand O. be sent to each 0 in Mis,ouri, and to all the Grand C{b with which tuis Grand Ci is in correspondence.

I cannot forbear otfl'ring the followin~ as my individual tribute to the memory of our eminent Bro. O'Sullivan. It was published in the secu~ lar press of the country a few daJ's aCter our brother had been called away. I can now offer nothing better M the expression of my sincere feeling: The following telegram, dated St. Louis, August 11, which I received, will Cl;Jnvey sad and startlIng intelligence to the MasOnic Fratenlity in this communuy, and throughout the country: .lRKV. JOlIN D. VINCIL, Gt'and Mast_Bro. O'Sullivan died路this morning at 9.80. OEO. FRANK GOUL&Y." No more painful news to the writer could have &shed along tIle wires than the above; for truly a great man in our Masonic Israel has fallen, greater than whom th~ bro~herhoo<l in Mil!l!ouri never delighted to hOllor. Anthony 0 SullIvan, the accomplished scholar. perfect ~entleman, true patriot, au d large-hearted philanthropist, is no more on earth, Slwe by his deeds, his noble masonic 111bol"ll; he lh'es enshrined in the hearts of 1I10118ftnd8 who will mourn his loss as that of a brother true and a father beloved. To Bee him was to admire him; to hear him was to reverence him j to kl.ow him WM to love him. The dtJceased was t1)e hi~hcst tvpe of a oolished Irish gentleman, possessing rare IIttuillments in masonic lore:as well as great acquirements ill the fields of generlll knowledge. As a historian, he was familiar with all the authors

whose names are entitled to a place in the temple of the unrec.'rded past. As a Milson, whether in knowledge of the unwritten ritual. the juripprudence of the Order, the practical duties of the fraternity, or in a large路hearted bene\'ole:lce, we know he stood unsurpllEscd, if ever equaled, in our Grand jurisdiction. We may well ask, "Shall we ever bebold his like -.raIn?"

Evidencing the hil'th esteem in which he. was held by bis brethren of the Grand CI of Missouri. be bas been tbeir chOflen Gl'lInd Secretury for fourteen consecutive terms. Taking hold of that office when the Grand CJ was numerically weak. and occupied but a minor pOPition among the Grand C2:J of America. Bro. O'Sullivan, wiUljatient industrv and unwellTyinll' toil, labored on until he had the proud lUI pleasing satistaction of seeinlt this Grand CI take front rllnk and first pusition in the Grand Sisterhood of the nation. The Grand CI of Missouri to路clay occupies no second place among tbe !lOverei~n 'urisdictions of the United States or the world And t.路 tlie indefstigtlble allOrs and herculean efforts of Anthony O路Sullivan. for the last fourteen years, more than to any other IRan, are we indebted for all these ~and results. As an officer of a large deliberative grand body, I have never met the equal of our deceased Grnnd Secretary. As a sound mMonic jurist, and safe guide on all vexed issues and kllotty questions which so often tanl{le the II elioerations of large assemblies of our Urder, he was the Solon. Dr. 1l1tlckcy wrote his Jurisprudence, alld Anthony O'Sullivan was a walking library of Masonic knowledge, law and facts. DeceMed had been, for a number of years, annually appointed Grand Lecturer of the Grand D, the duties of which office he dischllTl:ted in l\ mllSterly' alld a\ccptable manner, in addition to his labors as Grand Secretary, until failing health forced him to decline serving lon~er in the cnpacity of Lecturer. As Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence. bis vearlv re}lOrts will stand and speak, monumental, of'his labors, Ris ability, alld h[s kJlowled~e. Who that hilS read the annulll productions ofbis mind, the creations of elevated thought and noble genius. as they flowed from his facile pen; who that has followed his laborious rcsellrches, felt his scathing iroHY, while with trenchant blade he hewed the errors he met, or listened to his loft.'" commendlltions of the right and ellrnest tributes to truth, will ever regret thllt A. O'Sullivan lived and labored for }[lIsonry, or ever forget his worKS of faith and love? At the lllte Grand CI I had the honor of appointing him to fill the chair of that committee again which he had so long and so worthily occupied. But now "Tbere UI one vacant ohair."

Ai the same session he was, by Rcclamation, n~elected Grand Secretary, but on account of feeble health he declined the position of Grand Lecturer, which WIlS also tendered him. Bro. Anthony O'Sullivan bas gone {rom the wearisome labors he loved too well. But for his confinement to his duties, and unselfish devotion to his work, amid sufferings nlmost unbearable, the heat and dust of city life, when his wearied nature should hav" been recupcrating in thc freshness of country air, he mi~ht huve been living yet, alld lon~ spared w the Craft. lIe often said to me, in the hlD~uage ot' I'uul, "I D1llgmfv mine o.ffice" . For more thun 0. yellr he had been grOl\UV Iltllicted, but amid 1111 IllS sufferings and sllemill~ nearness to death we still hoped {or his r,,'COvery. Had he pa!lSed away while tllU8 prostrated, we would not have bcen so stu rUed and pIlined lIt tfw telegraphic aunouneemeut. But for some rew months his health WM improving, alld every letter announced the chcllrin~ uews, "I am better." A llltter dated on the 7th inst. concluded: "Th.\uks to God. I am still improving in health." 4nd yet, on the 11 th, the post-llOy of the country sweeps the fire Dlessilge along the wires: "Bro. O'Sullivan is dend." Truly, "Ill the midst of life we are ill death."

To tlle Fraternity of A., F. and A. 11fasons of Missouri, Greeting: DEAR BRF.THRl!:'f-Know ve that T, John D. Vincil, Grand Master of the Grand c::; of :.\lissouri, have appointed our R. W. Bro., Geor~e Frank Gouley, of the city of St. Louis, to the office of Grand Secretary of the Grand D ~ also, to the position of Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence. These appointments to continue in force till the next stated communication of the Grand O. As these stations have been vacated by the imperious and sudden edict of Death, calling from usefulness and labor our late beloved Grand Secretary, A. O'SULLIVAN, whose services and counsels, so valuable, are lost to us, hereafter all matters and business appertaining to either of the above-named stations. will be addressed to "R W. Geor~e Frank Gouley, office No. 11 North Fifth street, St. Louis." JOHN D. VINCIL, Grand Master of Masons. Under the appointment to these two positions, R. W. Bro. Gouley has acted for fourteen months. As to the wisdom of the appointment, I am justified by his masterly report of last year on Foreign Correspondence, which elicited the heartiest commendations at home and abroad. I am justified by the earnest endorsement of thousands in Missouri, who have said, "how very fortunate in securing the timely services of such an efficient Grand Secretary." I am justified by the high-minded, honorable masonic manner in whieh he has discparged the herculean task devolved upon him, and the way he has borne himself to the Craft at large, demonstratin~ that our Grand Secretary is a gentleman and an honest man. I expect to be doubly justiJled in the appointment by the forthcoming reports on Correspondence and the official affairs connected with his office as Grand Secretary; and I have no fears but I shall be fully justified by this Grand D and the Fraternity at large for making the appointment, and that he will be endorsed as a faithful officer and honored by his brethren with hi~her and more lasting expressions than merJ words. I could compliment Bro. Gouley very highly for his urbanity and kindness and aid in my arduous Inbors, but prefer to build his monument after he is dead if I should outlive him. Other names on our roll of honor have fallen asleep and rest from lahor. More than a year a~o, while sick in bed, I was tcle~raphed to repair to Hannibal and bury the venerable and venerated James McDaniel, for so many years the universally beloved W. M. of St. John's D, No. 28. The quiet urbanity, uniform kindness and broad-minded mllsonic charity of Bro. McDaniel had greatly endoared him to a large circle of brethren. I shared lnrgcly in that attachment. Indeed, he was the idol, as he was the oracle of scores, of Masons in many places, especially in North Missouri; but he rests quietly and sleeps sweetly in the narrow home, to which we all must ultimately follow. Peace to his ashes, oblivion to his fnuIts, and immort.ality

Bro. Hampton W oodruW, Grand Pursuivant of this Grand 0, fell at his post in this city amid the desolating ravl1l!:es of pestilence in 1866. I have no doubt but that noble, genial nature was litera.lIy sa.cri6ced in the cause he loved 80 well. With indomitable courage and self-sacrificing devotion he "went about doing good" with a. vigor excelled by none when the baleful mal路 ady-most probably contracted while ministering to and for others-seized his manly form, it found the system enervated from wllotching and wasting labors, and gained an oosy victory over the friend of sulfering humanity. There is a moral heroism displayed by such men, eliciting the profoundest admiration of all but cowards. Such a man deserves a monument garlanded with evcrgreens, bathed forever with the grateful smiles of women, in which should sparkle the happy tear-drops of relieved innocence. J. W. Crane, a member of this Grand 0 passed to his reward from this dea.th-stricken community during the cholera SeaBOn of 1866. Bro. Crane was a polished gentleman, a true Mason and a genid Mend. The first 0 I ever visited in St. Louis was presided over by Bro. Crane. I admired him from the first, and ever since, and mourn his loss. M. W. Marcus Boyd, a Past Grand Master of this Grand 0, has passed to the retributi6ns of the eternal scene since our last annual session. It never was my fortune to know Bl'O. Bovd. I saw him in this body whcn elCl,.'uid Gro.nd MI\Ster, in 1859. I doubt not this Grand body, which honored him with it.~ confidence, will do fIlII justice to his memory. In July, 18(;6, Rcv. S. S. IIe:ldlee, whom I hlld the honor to appoint Grand Ohaplain, at our last se.ssioJn, was shot down, in the midst of his family and friends, by a murderous and o'.1tlawed a.ssassin, while la.boring for God and truth. Thc atrocity of the act, the circumstances under which it was perpetrated, the harmles~ness and purity of the fallen brother; will consign the murderer to the withering execrations of all civilized hUIDllnity, and to an infam.y deeper than GRin and blaeker thlln the midnight of hell. Our W. and Rev. Bl'other died as only "the good man dieth." Blessed with a happy and full retention ot' all his vigorous mental powers to the last moment of earthly being, he e:.:hibited the true spirit of the MlUlon. With long and well-founded faith in God-for whose cause he was murdered-and with glowing hope of immol路tality, he stood on the highest round in the m)'stic ladder, and whispered with faintly-ebbing breath the vital C8Sence of Charity, "FatAer, FOROlVIC tltem." And standing on the outer verge of morta.lity, gazing with br:ghtening vision upon the scenes of beauty that swelled across the field of his vision like an ocean of golden glory, he uttered those significant words: "And God so.id, let there be light, and there Wl\8 light."

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI.

I present synopsis of decisions rendered during my official term. E. A. Masons rejected on application for advancement do not have to wait twelve months, as under the old By-Laws of this Grand D, but may renew the application at every stated meeting following the rejection. The same applies to Fellow Crafts. Master Masons applying for membership may renew their pelitions at the regular communication subsequent to rejection, also when the petition is referrcd to an investigating committee, as at the first. Scction 7 of Article XVI prescribes for twelve months, only one charaeter-i. e. the candidate for blI1'JATION. Only those named in and prescribed by sc(,1.ion 7 have to wait twelve months after rejection. Candidates for the second and third degrees, and for membership by dimit, are not proscribed in !!Cction 7. Therefore they are not required to wait twclve months after rejection, but may renew their application at pleasure. A D meets in regular communication and is regularly opened by one of the Wardens, he being the only one of the principal officers present. He calls a P!lst Master to the chair and l'etil'es for the evening. The act is a violation of the law. A Past Master has no right to open 1\ D in the absence of the Master and Wardens (except on funeral occasions); and hc certainly has no more right to preside in tlleir absence even though one of them had opened the D. To admit sucb a right is to admit that the Master or 1VardeDs may delegate powers which are incommunicable. If they may delegate these powers they cease to possess them, and the party to whom they arc delegated becomes possessed of them and becomes an officer of the D contrnry to the law, which is by election lind instf\llation. The Worshipful Master of D No. -, died. The brethren, very honestly no doubt, turned to and elected some brother Master and installed him. This was wrong. The D had two Wardens. The government of the D devolved upon the Scnior Warden after the death of tho Worshipful Muster, until the next election. In the abience of the Senior Wa1'den the Junior Warden succeeded to the chair. In the case of death or removal of nil three, the Grand Master could order an elcction to prescr,e the life of the D, amI the Grand 0 would justify the act and estnblish 1\ precedent. "Can a Master Mason belong to any D that will receive him, or must he join the nearest D to his rcsidence? " When anyone becomes a Mnster Mason, he is a member of the grent worldwiue f'lmily or brotllCrhood, and IDflY select any given portion of thflt fllmily as his locnlabode or place of membership, even though he reside elsewhere. Dut what is lawful is not always expedicnt. AD pcrmitted its Junior W'\I'lhm to dimit for the purpose of aiding in the formR.tion of 1\ new D. The act of dimission was illegal, because the Junior 1Vurden had been rcglllurly installed for II .Masonic year, and until his successor was elected and inst.\lled. I ordered the Junior 'Varden to resume his place in his D, from which he irregularly l\nd illegally dimittcd. AI'gu-

ment: If the Junior 'Varden may dimit while in office, so may the Senior Warden and the \Vorshipful Mllstcr. Admit the principle, and any 0 may soon be without officers. The momcnt a dimit is gmntcd, under Oul' Illw, the brother ceases to be a mcmber of a D. The 'Vor~hipful )Iaster asks for a dimit; it is granted. So soon as the grant is made he ceases to be a member; and yet, after he ceases to hold membership, he siglls his own dimit, continucs to preside as :i\flIster for the evening, and to do many official things. The same rule tnfiY apply as to the \Vardens; and all three brethren sign the defith-warrant of the 0 before leaving, and carry their own official decapitation in their pockets. 'Tis wrong. Every legally-constitutccl 0 is a )Iasonic corporation, chartered hy the Grand D. The Master and \Vardcns are the corporators, recognizcd in the chllrter as such, or are the successors of those who were ji,'st appointed by the Grand D. If the Master and Wardens may re,ign or dimit, the corporation will be broken up; find if one subordinate 0 may thus cease to cxist, aU subordinatcs may likewise. And thus the Gmnd o would bc destroyed by the death of all its const, tuent parts. Tliis is snfficient to scttle thc question. Lodge No. - met July 8, 1867. The Master was out of the State. The Wardcns were bo~h fihscnt. A Pllst Master opened the 0 and l'rl'si,!c,l, uy appointment of the Senior Vvnrden, who was f"r .\WIlY.

the examination, and they have to vote on som"thing (and about somebody) concerning which they know nothing; this is, to say the least, very anomalous. Two important questions have been proposed and decided upon respecting e:rpelled MasoIll'. "First: Can a subordinate D restare an expelled Mason at a special meeting! I answer, NO, with empah8i8. Because no subordinate D can restore an expelled Mason except by ballot j ana no ballot that is to give Masonic life to anyone-whether profane or a legally dead Mason-"shall be spread except at a STATXl' meeting of the D." Section 11, article XVI. The e:rpelled Mason was legally killed by the ballot. The ballot is to give life, legally, to such. It must be spread at a regular and not at a called meeting. The second question concerning expelled Masons is, whether a subordinate D has the RIGHT to restore such to the privileges of Masonry, and under what circumstances! The followin~ decision was made in reply to the question of a member of this Gl'lLnd D: I do not recognize the right of Napthali D to restore to the privileges of an expelled Mason under tlie circumstances besring upon the case mentioned. The expulsioll of A. B. was reported to the Grand D, and by that body (tacitly) confirmed and ratified, and thereby the act (of ratiji<;ation) became part of its record and was so published to the masonic world. In thus enaorsing the action of N apthali D in the expulsion of A. H., the Grand D made that action part of its own record and history, and thereby became fully, entirely; possessed of the case. If the Grand U became fully lind entirely the possessor of the case, all c01ltl'ol thereof certainly passed from the hands of the subordinate D into the hands of the Grand O. It is easy to see then that the subordinate D could not restare the expelled, because to do so would be an invasion of the rights and an assumption of the powers of the G'rand Cl, and a reversal of what 1'1' had confirmed and ratified. This would be unprecedented, for the creature to reverse the act,sof the parent power that gave the creature being or life, I have all'eady ruled (which rule must prevail until Gl'lLnd D rules otherwise) that afte1' the case of an cxpelled 11ason becomes the propertr of Grand D, either by appeal or by ratification of reported action or the lower court, the expelled can be restored to tho privileges of Masonry Ol\LY by the G'l'aml D. A. B. was long since expelled, so reported to Grand D, a.nd by that body confirmed, lit least tacitly, and at no time sent back to NIIpthali o. The case passed ii'om the power and contl'ol of Na.pthali 0, and tile Grand Cl alOfle became the cOlltrolliJJg power to say what should be the future destiny of A. 13. Therefore the W had no power tv restore him without the knowledge or consent of the Grand D, thereoy doing the work of and for the I.:irand LJ. Napthali D must wa.it till Grand U acts. It' he (A. B.) is by Grand D restored to the life and standing of a )IlIsOII, then one pdvilege he will enjoy will be to petitio'l the D alone that expelled him tor membership. The D that expelled alone has the power to l'estUl'e to membership. The Grand D will not restore an expelled Mason to membership in any living c.J. It could do so, I presume, but will not exercise such doubtful power. a. Mason expelled loses ~wo things: 1. All ligltts, privileges, &e., of Masonry - l l l a word, masont.e life. :'.. Membership ii, IllS 0, tne latter CIIrriud aWIIY by the loss of the tormer. It'tlle expelled applies for restoration before his D loses cogniza.llee of and jurisdictioJJ over the case, by its passing entirely into the hands o,r, the Grand 0, then the subordinate 0 may with propriety restore him to liJe and membership. After the D has lost 'control of tile case, then Grund D must restore him to life, a.nd the SUbol'dim,te 0 restore him to membership, if it will, No ]\I asonry

Grand d will not, even if it can,~rl\nt 1\ dirnit to a restored Mason, unless the that expelled him is dead. If the Grand 0 re.tore A. B. to mllsoni" life, it will not grant him a dimit to join any 0, because the 0 that expelled him is tilling, anrl the Grand 0 will not interfere with or llssume the ri~hts lind powers of its Sll bordinates. A. B. is not re.,tored, lmd hl\8 no more ri~ht to viSit thl\n a profane or a dead MMon. Let him petition the Grand 0 for restoration to life. Nllpthali can then restore to membership and give him a dimit. NILpthali 0, No. 25, may recommend the rClltoration of A. B. by the UflLnd Cl.

Hundreds of questions have been prasented and answered. I will not burden the journal of the Grllnd with them. I m!l)' heN remark, ~hat very many qucstions of brethren could have been settled by anyone who would either tMnk or ,·ead. Let our brethren everywhcrll read lllld studr, and strikc a higher \lote of knowledge and improvement. The correspondenctl of this officc has been heavy to an unprecedented degree. The dcath of our Grand 0 Oracle, Bro. O'Sullivan, so early ill my official term, turned an immensely-large tide of correspondence upon this office. This continued until the brethren found that anotlLer prophet had arisen in our I~rllel, llnd was wearing the mantle of our depuie:l Elijah. I h!lve wriiten over one thousand official letters during my term of office.

Reports from the Deputies of the following Districts have been receh'ed, vi",.: The 1st, 2d, 4th, 5th, 6th, Sih, 9th, 11th, 12th fLnl 15th. In the report ofR. W. J. B. Henderson there is II case mentioned requiring very special attention. A difficulty of some months' standing exi.t~ between Bro. R. Spencer, Worshipful Master, and a Past )hster of Ashland 0, No. 156. After considerable correspondence on the snbject, lookin~ to an amicable adjustment of the matter at issue, I urged upon Bro. Henderson, D<Jputy District Grand Master. to visit saill O. He did so, Ilnd felicitnted himself Ilnd congratulated the Order on what be thought was a mOst happy settlement of the personal matters between Bro. Spencer, Master, and Bro. Martin, P.lst Master. EI1Cb pariy solemnly and masonically agreed to filmlly abide the resnlt of the committee's arbitrament. All promised well, and everyone was satisfied. But soon the sore broke out afresh. Bro. Spencer writes his dissatisfaction to D. D. G, M. I1enderolon, stating that he "willl/ot njlifi,.fc" with Bro. lIIartin. He SllyS, "I Clln not meet witl. the eHher as lIbstur or a member," and tcndel's to the Deputy his rcsi,,,nation as Mltster, flnnlly winding up by "~yin~ that be rcgrcts that he is a llfason, and wishes that he could fVl',l}d that he ever was one. Upon receipt of snch inform:Ltion, I suspcndetl him from his office and turned over tbe 0 to the Senior Warden. The p!lpers in the case, with Bro. Spencer's letter, will b" found m:lrkeu "E."

On the 1Ji3tmt Deputy SYlltem I have a wori more to say_ It may not be courteous on my part to question the united wisdom I)f ·the Grand D, as manifested in past legislation on the subject, but I must be· allowed to say that the lIystem is but little mlJre than Hc»ninal, and falls far short of meeting the necessities calling into being such a system. In what I say no retlection is intended upon the Right Wonhipflll Bretm-en who have tl11ed the 01llce in the various districts_ Several althem have said to lIle, "the lIJ1ftellt is a fllillU'e." It fails to meet the wants of the Ordezo in Missouri, and always will. III brief·: We can not tlnd men who will sacritlce bWliaess and overy earthly intezoest upon which they and their fllmilies are wholly dependent, and itinerate aver a daxen collnties ~ach, visit twenty I:£b. lose. a larKe amount of time from stores, mills, farms, omces, banks and· shops. We need not expect such a thin~_ There is no compematiDn for sucb sacrill.oes, even if CEl do pay enougb to meet expenses. Our competent and thorollghly-posted brethren, well qualified for sllch positions. are too much enga~ed in oth6l' kinds of pursuits to devote enough time, labor and attention to the 1)1IIce of Deputy District Grand Master to make it very.beneflcial to the Order. Tltey can not alford it. What they receive from Cfu is nothin.1/ ill comparison with what they lIacrijke by loss of time from the v~ious callings and profeslliens afHie.

I urge, 88 the oRly substitute I have to recommend, that the <Rand CJ employ one or two competent and very e1llcient men and put them in the fteld. say one north and one south of the lfissouri river. Let these brathren have no ot1~· oUllinesll but that of Grand Overseer of the Craft during recess. Call the name what you please, but give the Order the man, or men, if two are necessary_ By hll.vin~ two men, actir-e and diligent, men of "one work," that of traveling, visiting evezoy D, exemplifying the work and all duties now enjoined upon District Deputy Grand Masters, we will have an ilnpro~emtlnt in &UI' jurisdiction that will bo far better than progrellB, so-called. Tilere is A necessity fOl' such men. The bretm-en of the State demalUt it, and they hav.e the right to demand it. Place the salaries of these omcen at sllch a flgUl'e as will call into tho field the best talent ef the State; that will command men from the highest ranks of social, moral, masonic and intellectual culture; that will call them f!'Om lIny profession; and a salary, too, that wiII keep these overseers from having to sen goods or act as insurance &gel\ts while lnboring for the Fraternity. Let the Grand D meet the salaries at given tilnes, and reqnire the Cfu to pay a certain per cent. to this fund. They will do it most gladly for the benellts to be derivod in return.

The simple ¥gument, my bretbren, i. tbis: .. Masonry is a moral or an immoral inetitution." We all admit it to be a speculative or ",oral-not an O]1el'atltJe or p~.vsical-inatitl1tion. If the question is determined by ,the voice, or what is wone, by the acta of Muons, that the institution is immoral, then ita best men, by tena of tbo08ande, willllee it as from Sodour. If the institution is 'IWral, and all admit it, theD he who is imm01'al is an unworthy Mason. The immoral man it not a trlUl :Mason, because he does Dot live up to the standard of morality Masonry has ostablished. Every man who becomes a Mason does so of his .. own free will and accord." In thus voluntarily coming to us he surrenders himself t!> us, to our control and goverDlDllnt,

and wblltever rules, principles and tea('hings we have for our regulation. If he refu8e or neglect to confonn to all our teachings, he breaks the compact, violates his covenant obligations, and is criminally culpable in the presence of GOO and Troth, before whom he has sworn to support and maintain all things enjoined upon him by our Order. How, then, CIUl the immoral man bea true Mason! Oh, my brethren! it is a deeply solemn thing to mue sucb coveDants as we do in Masonry! but how flippantly assumed by many and lightly regllrded by thouSllnds ! I have constantly, earnestly, urged upon the brethren of Missouri, during the past official year, improvement and reform in all C2:J where I have gone. In the presence of thousands of the Craft, I hllve cried aloud against the evils that are demoralizing the Order. Everywhere the good and true Craftsmen bave re-echoed the cry, "more m<l1'als and less numbers." Thank God! there is a grand, m<n'al ground-swell rising on'this matter in Missouri. May it sweep tbe entire jurisdiction. And who have demurred! I will tell you. The profane Mason, who blasphemes the name which he is taught never to mention except with that reverence which is due from the creature to the Creator. The drunken Mason-unfortunate fallen brother-who throws the offensive e.~halations of his putrid stomach into the face of decency and sobriety, or perfum.u the pure and sacred air of the 0 rOQm with the sickening odor of his 路constant and deep potations. The liquo1'-selling Mason, who, hiding bebind the authority of human laws, sells destruction to his masonic brethren, puts the bottle to his brother's lips for gain, robs him of means, of peace, of health, of life, and beggars his family, leaving them to the charities of good Masons; votes resolutions of condolence to the drunkard's widow and children, and wears for thirty days a baGge of mourning symbolical of the da1'k sorrow he caused, but don't feel. The gambling thief (for we have them), who prowls around, practicing upon unsuspecting victims his worse than "confidence game," with masonic jewelry on his person nfficient to make a golden calf. The vicious whoremonger and polluted pimp, whose touch is contamination, whose smell is corruption, and whose heart is rottenness, dressed up the while in the garb of well-assumed respectability, sprinkles himself with the ottar of roses, goes to the 0, is quite n character there, and goes thence to the brothel or house of assignation. The liar, the fraudulent man, the bitter partizan, political and ecclesiastical, who have stolen the livery of Masoury to serve 8ELF in. All the above enum~rated charactcN have demurred to the stern and earnest demllnds of the past three years for reform and moral improvement. But the slogan of re~orm has been sounded and is ringing over this State; the clans, pledged to the ri!1;ht, are rullying; the good and the true of the Order are rushing to the fight. We shall yet feel the battle-shock iii. the waxing conflict between right and wrong, and the pealpg notes of victory swell above the din. "Truth is mip;hty and shall prevail." There are many cbeering signs of Kl'owing, healthful improvement visible

among the workmen in Missouri. Nor the least noticeable is an elevated taate displayed by Masonry in the erection, completion and handsome adornment of halls. There is a stride far in advance of anything seen among us· in former years. Fine, well-finished and attractive .rooms havo been finished and purcbased at a number of points, especil&lly north of the Missouri ~ver. I may mention Palmyra, Clarksville, Wentzville, Shelbina, Brookfield, Callao, Bloomington, La Plata, and otber places. . Tbe old, cheeriees, suft'oeating halls are fast giving way to new, desirable, airy, tastefully-ornamented places of retreat, where brethren can enjoy p~ysical comfort, mental pleasures and moral instruction. Wherever I have gone peace, harmony and good wiil generally prevail. As the angel of fraternity broods o'er our wide-!pread jurisdiction, shedding the gentle dews of love among the busy, craftsmen, an occasional croaker raises his cracked and discordant voice, crying, party! But the faithful and correct guardians of the work soon put to shame and silence all such ~ turbers of the peace.

In response to the appeals of the needy, the distressed and suif'ering, the Masons of Missouri have placed themselves in the front rank of the noble brotherhood of the land, and their generous benefactions have gone forth· as tbe flowing water. And now, my bretbren, a tbrill of joy like morning sunbeams breaks o'er my mind as with the closing up of tbis address I 100 the end of my heavy, responsible, delicate labors. I have served you as best I knew how. I am glad to be relieved from the duties assigned me by your su1l'rages seventeen months ago. May the ermine of office grace a better man, and be more worthily worn for tbe ensuing term. I hope to live in the remembrance of the Masons of Missouri, whose confldence I have so largely sbared. And, flnally, may we all meet, when life's labors end, in tbe temple where LlQBT forever shines, beneath the bending arches of immortality, and join in the renewed and endless fraternities of the pure and the blessed. Very truly and fraternally,

The Grand Secretary rendered ~ho following ubis annual report, which Wall received and ordered printed, and 60 much retorred to acconnts to be referred to tbl\t committee :

To tM M. W. GrIlM Milder lind Grllnd a of ,M'",ouri : I have the honor to submit herewith my repott as Grand Secretary. .As all of us are sadly aware, tho late incumbent of this office wu removed by the 801llmn decree of death from the performance of his earthly dutill8 on the 11th of August,.I866. after having setved this body faithflllly for the .pace of fourteen yeal's. His record is before you, and it speaks better for his abIlity and merits than my pen can possibly do, even were it proper for Die at this time and place to pronounce hts eulogy. ANTHONY O'SULLIVAli, the honored Grnnd Secretary of this Grand el, is no more; he hu gone to enjoy the "reward ot the just made perfeot" in the records of Bim "who deeth all thing. well." On the 18th of August, 1866, I received the order orthe M. W. Grand Master to 888ume the responsible duties of this Station, lionel had it not been that I had already received a certain tuition from him who has passed away, I should not have undertaken the task; and, as it i.I, I have found'it to be an office rather to be accepted with modesty than to be sought with 'prll8umption. NOlie but those who have filled it can appreciate its perplexities and responsibilities. I found it nec_ry, owing to the long indisposition of my predecessor, to bting up considerable â&#x20AC;˘. back work," to arrllnge the archives for more ready reference. and to complete some arrangements for the new office inan. ~urated by him before hi. death, and which was ordered at your last 888Iion. The cases for the returns of l:2:J, and all papers connected with them, have been completed, and the archives of each subordinate a, "living and dell,d," are now in position to be referred toÂˇat any,time. The records of "dead CP.:J" have been arranged so that the dues of late members appl)'ing for dimits JDAV be speedily adjusted. The letters fro~ foreign jurisdictions have been flied by tbemsel yes, and all papers relatin~ to the late college and other 8pec1alti8Jl can be readily consulted. By the :verbal expressio:l of the will of Bro. O'Sullivan, the Grand a Came into possession of four hundred and sixteen volum8Jl of masonic and miscellaneous works as the nucleus of a Grand D library, but, owing to the recommendation of others, his widow was persuaded to demand all Buch as werc not absolutely masonic or which did not belong to the Grand D. But one course was len me, viz" to give them up. and consequently, on the 8th of November last, I delh'erod her two hundred and seven volumes of valuable works, leaving scventy-seven volumes of bound proceedings and one

O'Sullivan; and I have colleel.ed leveral volumes of ml_llaneolJ8 works, lOme onhem being text boOb and proceedingll contributed by the Grand 4b of Canada,. Iowa, Virginia, Ohio and Tena_e. To the Grand Secretary of New York we are Indebted for two fine photographs for the office. The present office wu lltted up, under the ausplr.es of your committee, during the life of my. predec888Ol', and ite locality has afforded to the brethren from the counlry a bette1' opportunity of attending to their masonic bu@iness than before enjoyed. In a few monthe the H&'IOnic Hall A88Ociation expect to havo an office ready for the Grand Secretary, where more aocommodatlon can 'be aWorded and greater IeCUrity guaranteed to the archives of the Grand 0, The flnancial &OCOl1nte of Bro. 0' ~umvan 1 have not disturbed, having left. them to be adjudicated by your own committee, 80 that tbe money report which I render herewith Ia from the commencement only of my own term of office. I have prepared an .. historical register It of all the Cib that have ever existed under thie jurisdiotion lince Hay 1821, the time of organization, and includee 'all under cbarteD and dlapetlfl&ti/)DI, living and dead.

The special committtle to whom was referred the appeal of Bro. D. N.

Burgoyne, who was suspended from his masonio privileges by this Grand a at its annual communication in Jh.y, 1866, beg leave to make the following report: The committee deem it unnecessary, at this time, to enter into the details of the case. further than this, that Bro. D. N. Burgoyne, W. M. of MisBolU'i a, No. I, was, at the session of the Grand CJ before mentioned, on charges of unmasonic conduct, alleged to have taken place Beveral yean previous, suspended from all the privileges of Masonry for the term of ten years. Without recapitulating the nature of the charges, or the character of the evidence on which the suspeDBion was based, your comti:littee are of opinion that in this case the penalty was, perhaps, eXC8ll8ive. Therefore, in view of the fact that said D. N. Burgoyne has memorialized this Grand a to restore him to his rights and privileges as a Hason, we recommend the adoption of the following resolution: WHl:BlI48, D. N. Burgoyne, having been suspended from hi, masonio privileges by this Grand CJ at its annual session in lIay, 1865, for the term of ten years; and WHltBlI.t8, Said D. N. Burgoyne has, ever since his sU8peusion, given evidence of his firm attachment to our Order, and now asks the Grand a to reconsider its action, and reinstate him; therefore, be it Ruolfle4, That the prayer of the petitioner to the Grand CJ of Kissouri be granted, and that D.

We regret to eee that the Oommittee on Monument reported in favor of publislling a book with the nam88 of Masons who died in tbe army. We look upon this B8 wrong, for two re&l!ODI: Arst, it is unJu.st, because it is special, and d088 not include thOle who luft'ered and died at home; and secondly, i~ is identifying the Grand a with a sectional issue, and it does not matter to the Grand a whether the issue was right or wrong; it is pr88umed, as a body of Kasons, to know nothing of anything but M~onry. We.have oondemned thia in the North, South, East and West. on principle, and principle alone. The Committee on By-Lawl of Cib recommend that a uniform code be adopted, but presume tbey will bave B8 much diftlculty in getting it through as have other Jurisdictions; although the adoption of such oode would save a world of trouble to Grand CJ oomDlitte88 in largo bodies, and add greatly to the harmony and correctness of the work of lubordinates.

The Committee on Chartered l:€:J reported of CI No. 119 thus: It appears from the returns ot this 0 that J. P. Robinson, a "sojourning brother," was tried on the 22d of September, 1865, found guilty of unlDA80nic conduct, and suspended for twelve monthe. . YOUf committee believe it to be the duty of all subordinatel:€:J to take cognizance of otrenees committed within their jurisdiction, and to punish otrenders. We therefore commend our brethren of this CI fOf their zeal for the institution, and would suggest that chartered l:€:J generally, within this jurisdiction, follow their example. We are pleased to see the adoption of the following:

Ruol"ed, That P. G. M. William C. Penick and P. J. G. W. Sam. H. Dixon be appointed a committee to compile the history of Masonry in Alabama, As it will enable us to get such a connected history of proceedings as can never be arrived at in any other way. A Past Grand Master's jewel was presented by the Grand 0 to :M. W. Bro. Wm. C. Penick, who had served them in an able and impartial manner. He replied in an appropriate address. The Grand CI recognized the Grand l:€:J ofHon Scotia and Nevada. Bro. Penick rendered an able report on Foreign Correspondence, with which we, in the main, agree. In reviewing North Carolina the committee take up the case of one Paul Drayton, a negro masonio missionary to the Bouth, and treat of him as the representative of the white Grand 0 oC New York. We regret that our brottler was not better posted on this case at the time. He, however, recommends a resolution on negro % which we cordially endorse:

Resolved, That this Grand CI will, and the fraternity are instructed to, regard all such l:€:J as clandelltine, and the members thereof as spurious. We thank our brother for his appreciation of our maiden etrort last year, as well as for the courteous review of :Missouri generally. He quotes approvingly our strictures upon the declaration of univer.sal jurisniction by the Grand 0 of the District of Columbia, and we may say here that our views have been endorsed by all the Grand Gb who have considered the subject. He also endorses our view in the Weet Virginia case. We make the following extract from the report, because we believe it to be t.l'I1e in a great measure, and instructive. It is in reply to the Grand Orator of Iowa: Antiql~it!l-Bro. Sanford, the Grand Orator, gives a /'tood, honest and conscientious address. He says: .. There is both history and tradition which lead me to believe that, as far back as ten hundred and forty-four years before Christ. there existed secret societies, called the Dion)'81ac band of workmen. These societies orig!nated in Eg,rpt, and migrated to Tyre some time before the buildin!1: of the Temple." And that "Kil1~ Hiram sent a band of these workmen to king Solomon," &C. We. the writer oC this article, take occasion to say to Bro. Sandford, and to all, that, if our traditions are to be relied on, and we think they are. we feel ourselves prepared to show that :Mas. nrv (not the Dionysiac mysteries) existed more tllan one hundred and thirty years before King Solomon laid the foundations of the Templll; and

lS67.]

that it existed during the time of the Tro~n war. And it .til not be denied but that King Solomon commenced that Temple 1012 B. O. This carries the exbtence of Masonry to 1148 B. O. But we oonaider these teaobinga 610teric; we would like to have a suitable occasion to explain more fully. Our ~eat English author, Bro. Dr. Oliver, carries Kasonl'1 back to Moses, Abraham, Noah, and even to Adam-yes, beyond him, to the great empirium ot'space bexonli Adam. We think that surely Dr. Oliver did not write what he mtendea; he must have meant to say that the Frinciples on whieh the MalOnic Institution was founded existed in the days Adam, or beyond him. But there is a great ditference between the principles on whieb our institution is founded and the institution itself. Take an illustration or two: The motive power of steam, as applied to maohinery, no doubt existed in the time of Adam, or, if Dr. Oli'\fl'r please, beyond him; but there wu no application of thOle principles for thoae purpoaes until the day of Fulton, abOut 1814. The principles. on which the magnetic telegraph is used for the transmission of news existed in the time of Adam_lways; but we knew nothing of the application of thOle principles to this end until the day of Mone-our own times. Bro. Mitchell, in his Historr of .Masonry, we think, very sucoessfully combats Bro. Oliver. But in lie domg he gets 10 straigbt that he bends bacl[ward, and asserts that .. all our traditions point to the Temple," and, it we understand him, nowhere elae. With this we take illue, and are prepared, &8 we think, clearly to Bbow from our traditions that the institution dates back at least one hundred and· thirty years before the Temple period, and to the time of the Trojan war.

We beg to add that the beat compromile we have been able to make upon this question of .. antiquity," is aimply t}.is: That almost all ancient nations posaesaed the elements of secret societiea in lOme shape or other-all history says 10; but tbe principal and most in1luential of all, both in their moral and operative charaoter, were tl¥>se of Egypt; and as the chief build81'B came from that country, and the Tyrian artists being a aecret aociety, and Hiram, their chief, being the great workman at the Temple, that it W&8 there that the moral beauties of system and order were perfectly developed, and that at thc Temple was given the momentum of an operativo Craft possessing symbols oC morality, from which our Order was born. It has gone through many transmutations, and been robbed by peddling lecturer. and book-makers oC much oC its original ~ndeur and character, and been bent in some degree to correspond with modern ideas; but through all we can still trace upon the trestle-boud the magnificent design of the great Tyrian, the illustrious Hiram. With the committee, we deprecate the discullions over the thO'Jsand and one forms of work, such as promulgated by Webb, OrOSI, Barne)', Preston, &0., &0., and that Mllllonry should not be moulded after "ny man, but that Grand re:J should dellne what the work is, in accordance with the rational deductions of history and the sublime principles upon which our Order is founded. In work done, we find initiated, 1,037; passed, 904; raised, 1,008; admitted, 679; rejected, 8531 dimitted, 1,215; died, 191; expelled, 40; SUEpended Cor non-payment of dues, 631; number of CEJ, 264.

.fifty were represented at your last annual communication. The RII:GIITSB 1iselfhad been destroyed by lite, with the Masonic Ball, of this city, which contained it. Many other lodge-hol18e8 had been consumed bv i1ames kindled by the war. A number of CÂŁb had been plundered of their cbartel'8, recorda, fIiroiture and jewels. The Ml\8ters and Wardens of other Cib were dead. They had fallen upon distant battle-lields, or died from the exposures of the march and the camp, and slept in unmarked ~ves far from tbeir homes and their much loved masonic altars. The membership of many of the Cib were 1'180 dead or scattered. Communities were broken up, houses left tenantlese, and abandoned f1.elds uncultivated. The destitute widow and the helpless orphans were In want of bread, and, in many instancee, there was but little to lupply tbem. But at the closc of the war no cl&81 of our population returned more readily, quietly ind cheerfully to the peaceful ~UrsUlta of life than the masonic fraternity. Durin~ the past masonic Jear lÂŁJ- have been rebuilt and refurnished, charters duphcated, nnd the surv1vin!': craftsmen have reassembled and rcsumed their labon. Much the larger portions of the Cib are at work again, and otbers are preparing for labor. But few charters have been surrendered. The number of new Cib eatabliahcd during the year will, perhaps, equal the number which have surrendered their charters. The Masonic Tree revives again I There is no permanent deeay-no DSA.TH for Ma,on17/! "7rutA tJruahed to earth will rise again-the eter1l4l3'ears of GoD are her's I Ber date ia from the vear of Light.

On the question of devotion to duty he truly says: To the uninitiated the devotion of the zealous craftsman to Masonry is nnacoou';'table. .. Why," he so',lletimes asks, "do you leave yonr family and flres1de, and go, nigbt after n1ght, to the D, and labor there, not untrequently, until the cook crows? Why do you, annually, leave your home and go all the wav to Little Rock, to attend the sessions of what you call your Grand CJ! You make no money by it; on the contrary, )"ou waste vour time and expend your means. It brings you no public honors and promotes you to no public stations." Very true; but there are pea1'/.& of more value than gold, or silver, or greenbacks! There are rewards more to be prized than public honors or public stations. In one ot' the beautiful visions of old John Bunyan, he saw a man toiling in the dirt for treasures, whilst an anltel hovered over him, offering to place a crown of surpassing value and beauty upon hia head if he would lOOK up ! It is lamentably true, however, that, as among the bees, there aTe droDCS in Muonry. Some who, hee(llcss of the oft-repeated lesson of industry, neither labor Dor learn. They occasionallJ attend the Ci, or pafl\de in a public procession, but they grow no better Iwr wiser. For long ycaN they eat and sleep, and then they die, leaving no memorh'ls of virtll.e behind thcm. Their paths throngh life are like the foot-prints of the gull upon the sands of the ~ea shore, which are effaced by the next sl1cceeding breeze. Such untoiling, unim:rrovinj; men are 110t, bowllver, peculiar to Masonr)". They are to 6e foun in all classes lind associations ot' meu.

The report on Foreign Oorrespondence is also very brier. They recommended the recognition of the Grand CJ or Nova Scotia, which was adopted. The mOlt unjust and suicidal law on Territorial postage, whereby letter postage is required on all . printed matter, has operated seriously against the transmillion of documents, and is thus alluded to by the Grand Secretary of Colorado: I have, dnrin~ the year, received several notices Crom tbe.postoffice at St. JOIeph, Mo., intorming me or packages to my address, held tliere for postage. I have remitted tbe amounts claimed aod received tbe packages, but as pro· ceedings of many of our sister Grand Lodges, with whom we have been in correspondeoce, have failed to reach me, I presume that they have been sent, but held at BOrne distributing p08toffice for want of the necessary postage, many of our correspondents not~elllg aware of the law requiring letter postage on all printed matter west of Aansas.

~in tlOurs forth the rich t'ruits of peace j the fateful trinity, war, pestilence and famine, are strangers to us j and contentment, with ~lacid smile, lightens the countenance of all who rationally appreciate His goodness who has given us these bl_ings. But while we are so kindly favored by a beneficent and seeming partial Providence, let us not permit our charities to slumber. All lands are not so blessed as ours. The flame of war, with its attendant troop of woes. which burned so fiercely in our country, was quenched only to burst forth with equal heat and fury upon our brethren beyond the seas; and with deep sympatny and interest it was natnral to turn our hearts toward them and pray that they too might be gifted with the same fortunate wisdom and coun路 sel which preserved tile unity of our Brotherhood here, and, clothed in warm :humanity, led us throu~h fields of carnalte unstaine4 by acts inconsistent with our hi~h :professions. That Almishty hand which, by His inscrutable will, was laId 1D anger upon us and raISed in mercy, is again uplifted, and on the bloody field of Sadowa the same sentiment which animated us sltines conspicuously in the acts of the good Count Theodore l:ltolberg, a name to be lionored by MfIBOns, who, with the noble Knights of St. John of Jeru.~alem, WliS ever present in the hospitals, and constant in relieving suffering and softening the horrors of war, Neither are all portions of our own land as blessed as this. The desolating track of armies has left no charred monuments to remind OJ of the houseless and homeless sufferer; the shock of battle has not s:l&rred our landscape or dotted the fields with the looesome tenements of the dead. Weare not sO piteously'reminded, as have been our brethren bv the Atlantic, of the inevitable result of war, the widow and the orphl\n, whom it bequeaths as II le~acy to charitable hands. Those claims at our doors. which always appeal so stronglv, being relieved, there remains abundant opportunity for those of us who have been thus favored to extend our charities further, and draw forth the tears of gratitude where those of sorrow flow.

He alludes feelingly to the loss of two distinguished brethren, R. W. Chas. Withell Shepperd and M. W. Wm. Henry Howard-the former P. D. Grand Kaster and the latter Past Grand Master. He reports having issued twenty-six dispensations, four of which were forming new Yb, and we regret to see that two of them were for permiuion to confer degrees without referring petitions to committees. We trust that the rush of the outside world 'to break down our barriers of caution and delay may never be stimulated by the dispensations of Grand Masters. Whenever a ml\n comes to a c:::J, after having loafed around the country half a life-time, and says he has not got time to wait on the slow process of petitions, he should receive all the black balls in the box. He has proven his unfitness at the very outset, by ignoring the honor he is to receive. The Grand Master alludes to a point in their law as follows; The Constitution provides that it shall be .. by an unanimous vote," without directing how that vote shall be discovered. It will be readily perceived that unless the ballot is used, the conscientious opponent is compelled either to disclose how he ori~iilally voted, or to absent himself from his c:::J on such occasions to avoid inVIdious prominence, if such things may be. Feeling that I had no authority under onr law to l'equire the use of the ballot 011 such occasions, and that the language is not impcrative in its direction, I chl)se to intimate an opinion that the use of the ballot would r.ppeal stronger to the discretionary executive authority than the vote llilla voce or by uplifted hands. It haa always been our understanding that all votes for degrees should be .eeret, fWd how it can be so without a ballot is incomprehcnsible to us. We

did not suppose that any other Oll8tom prevailed in the world. We rather admire the nerve of the negative voter by" show of handa;" but u manT good men lack courage under certain oircumstances, we must dilapprove of the custom which tends to override the independence of the ballot. The Grand Master, in referring to the noble eft'oN of the J[lI8Omo Board of Relief of 8an Francisco, says : My attention has been invited to the affairs of the "MlI8Onio Board of Relief of this city, and an examinati"n of the statements and extracts from the book, of that (\rganiotion, which have been laid beforo me, gives conclusive evidence that it should receive the aid of the Grand 0 in its great and expensive work of benevolence. The annual roports of that associatIOn of Gb wm show yOIl that during ten yean past something over $53,000 have, by it, been expended for charitable purposes. more than one-fourth of which hu been for the relief of brethren of this State, or their families, belonging elsewhere than in San Francisco, and all of which is exclusive ot the large sums disbursed by the ,everal cityee:J for the care of the inflrm, destitute or helple8s of their own membership It is too largely taxing the benevolence and th~ treasuries of the Câ&#x201A;Ź:J of a sin~le city to leave tliem unasristed to perform the duties of charitr tor the whole jurisdiction; and I recommend the subject to your careful and Just consideration. From the Grand Secretary's report we extract the following: The numbers upon our re~stry of chartered ee:J have now reached to one hundred and seventy-six. Of these, one hundred and fortI-two, excludinc the one whose dissolution has just been reported. still exist under our jurisdiction i and of the remaining thirty-four, ten have been transferred to Oregon anel Nevada, twenty-one have voluntarily surrendered their charters, and three have suft'ered the revoc.tion of those instruments by the Grand 0. There are, besides. five Câ&#x201A;Ź:J acting under dispensations, making in all one hundred and fort v-seven eeJ at present in active existence under tne jurisdiction of thi, Grand 0, one of which is in the Territory of Arizonia, and another in the kingdom of th.e Hawaiian Islands. We also extract a very important question, and one that should receive consideration by all Grand ee:J; for, strange &8 it may appear, in the face of the Grand 0 By-Laws, which were intended should be adequate for the wants of subordinates, yet practical experience demonstrates that the ee:J. and etzpecial1y the younger ones, need all the information and aid in the details of their atfllirs which the mother is able to bestow. The Grand Secretary WIlS "instructed to prepare and publish, in the proceedin!;s of the present year (1865), a form' for the proper keeping of 0 records." [See page 121, proceedings of1865. J This was not then done, for the renson thllt the creditable preparation of such a guide for the eeJ which shollld illustrate the manner of keeping a record-book, from the prelimin~ meeting or meetings of brethren who wish to ('.stablish a 0, through the variolls stages of olltainir.~ a dispensation, nnd sub8cquently a charter, to the pcriOlI uf its dissolution, with the many necessary formulas for a proper entry of the history of the work nnd of the manifold Yilricties of business which mig-ht be transacted by a 0, required more time thlln could be given without an unreasoJluble and unnecessary dela,)' of the publiCl\tion of the proceedings of that year.

might carry with it the authority with which it was probably intended to be invested. ~or these reasons, which it is hoped will be deemed sufficient, the preraration of the paper was delayed; and, though presented now, it is stil deemed incomplete, and needing many addititional suggestions. The Grand Secretary reports three hundred and seventy-five bound volumes in Grand CJ library. Total receipts for the year, $16,821 26; total disbursements, $13,98290. Bro. Henry H. Rhees rendered report on Foreign Correspondence, reviewing all but four States. The report is very full and ably written, and furnishes the Craft of the far-oft' Pacific t:ib with an excellent summary of general transactioll8. In reference to Missouri, we appreciate the courtesy of the criticisms; but one remark of the committee might lead our neighhors astray, to-wit: "We notice, to our surprise, too, thai a 0 tried its Hat!ter. We had the impression that this innovation upon the general usages of the Craft was confined to tho jurisdiction of Indiana." This arises for not knowing the result of the trial, at it is 'well known that our jurisdiction does not tolerate any such performance. From the criticisms in our last report on the political harangues of certain Grand Masters, the committee feel that we dwelt too severcly upon those of the North, and not against those of the South; but it will only be necessary to remind our brethren of one filet, viz.: that at the time we wrote that report we had but very f('w reports from the South. Just at the close of the war, and not having their doings before us, we could neither censure nor condemn; 80 that the old adage, that "white sheep have more wool than black ones," ,was veriJled in our case, from the fact that there are U more of them" from ,the Northern States. We dissented with North Carolina and Texas in路 certain irregularities, as well as in those of our other sisters whose proceedings came to ua during the whole war. If our brother knew our mind, he would not suspect us of partiality upon any.question affecting the great interests of our Order; never hesitating to criticise what we believe to be wrong, committed .by whom it may be. The committee disagree with us on the West Virginia Grand 0 case, in our failing to recommend recognition. Our reasons are simply these: that, in the first place, if West Virginillo is a State under the Oonstitution (a queation yet to be settled by the Supreme Court), even then the formation of that Grand 0 v.:e hold to be irregular, from the fact that the t:ib which formed it had not performed the first legal steps toward their clearance from their mother Grand D, by paying up thcir dues, which they owed for several years. Again, it is not ascertained that a majority even of the C2:J in the so-called new State l\greed to or invited the enterprise; nor do we know that they yet willingly agree to it. For ourselves, we do not wish .to throw anything in the way of the formation of new Grand bodies, neither do we wish to encourage any hasty or irregular proceedings on 80 important a matter as this; nor is it the custom of the Grand D of Missouri to recognize hew GNnd bodies until all dift'erences are first settled between them and the .mother body.

Bro. Leonidas E.

It is in fact a religious usociation, and we may marvel much that this character should have ever been denied it; not religious in any narrow or reatricted Bense; not Christian, nor Jewish, nor Pagan, nor Mohammedan, nor Catholic, nor Prote~hnt, but only, simply and purely, religious. Religion, be it re:nembered. hi of God. Beets, forms and nllmes lire the works of men. It is t",iVe1'sal religion which it inculcates: that religion which it deemt 1l8sential evervwhere to the true character of man; that sense of obl~ and linal responsibility which aWords the only !ecurity (or the faithful ~ vance of its own pure principles and lolemn vows. A belief. in the exiatence of a Mupreme Being, the certainty and justice of his juclgmenta; and the immortality of tbe soul-these are the elementa of religion which it .requires in its votaries, while it heoos not the forms and specillc articles of faith which secta have set up and dignified with the appellation of the only true religion. It has indeed been the sanctuary of this umvenal religion from ita first inception. To preserve-the knowledge of the true God from the assaults of Pag&nism in the dark days, when idolatry possessed all the world save the little land of Judea and ita chosen people, was the sole purpose and ohject of ita arlit organization. It was only through the esoteric workings ot some such lI&IOCiation that that knowledge could be PreBerved; and when asked why those sublime truths, so good and commendable, should be veiled within the Temple, we only need remember that for teaching them publicly, even in enlightened Athens, a great and good philosopher was doomed to die. It has pres~rved that koowledge through those periods, when, but fOl' it, that knowledge must surely have been lost. It has faithfully and efficiently perf~rl!led that high and holy, mission. It has come down to our day and generation with the religious f0llture in ita characteJ" unimpairlld, and it wilt cease to be the institution which has been tralUlmitted to us when it ceases to inculcate religion; not indled the peculiar religion of Paul or 짜oeea, or Calvin or Luther, but that which. c:ommanding aud requiring us to recognize and adore a Great First Oausl', to look for judgment on our deeds and invoke the aid of Deity in aU our laudable undertllkin~; which. compelling U8 to clothe and feelt and cherish as our own the friendless and the dllstitute, to viii' the widow and the fatherle!!!!, and keep our$elves unspotted from the world; ret leaves us within the range of these grand duties and landmnks, to adopt our own forms of worship and peculiar dogmas, to approach the throne of Almighty Power as our preferences may suggest, and adord Him under whatever name we choo86, be it God, Jehovah, Jove, or Lord. Much is the grand, the beautiful, the broad, the liberal, and comprehensive religion which it inculcates. It embraces all ita substance without its forms.

The candidate is, Iymbolically, a stone brought up to the building; if not acceptod or rejected, it lies around loose ready to be worked into the walls by unskillful workmen whenever the overseer is' absent. The reports of the District Grand Master and Grand Lecturer are both local, but interesting. The Special Committee in the case of Nova Scotia reported adversely to recognition, until the coUpemtion of the Grand 0 of Scotland and the Provincial Grand 0 of Nova 8cotia can be secured. We do not think the reasons adduced as sound, for the reason that Nova Scotia was common tt>rritoJ'y, being occupied by the Grand CE!:J of Scotland and England, hence open to a thil'd, viz., the new Grand C) of Nova Scotia. We hold that whl'.re any Tenitory or State is flCCupied ly more than one Grand C) without specific limits of jurisdiction, it becomes common ground. Such we claim for the temtory of N<W& Scotia, and such we deny for West Virginia, as that State was under the sole control of the Grand C) of Virginia. Bro. Storer, the former Grand Secretary, announced to the Grand C)·tho death of Bro. O'Sullivan, the representative of that Grand Body near the Grand 0 ot Missouri. The committee on resolutions of tribute to the dead reported, in the case of Bro. O'Sullivan, the following: Your committee have also listened with sadness to tbe announcement b'y our former Grand Secretary, Storer, oCthe decease of:8. W. Bro A. O'Sullivan, Grand Secretary of Grand CJ of }J issouri. and the honored representative of thia Grand din that Grand body. Bro. O'Sullivan had long been a prominent member of 0IlI' ancient and honorable Order, and had earned a national reputl\tion as a wise and learned Mason. While we mourn the 109& of a beloved brother and a trll8ty and faithful representative of the Grand 0, we tender our heartrelt condolence to the M. \V. Grand 0 of Missouri, of which our departed brother baa been a devoted and viUuable serv~nt tor 80 ID&nyyears. We appreciate fully the sympathy of tbll :M. W. Grand 0 of Connecticut in our great loss, and we feel ~hat we but echo the sentiment of every member here prellllnt when we tbank ,hat Grand Body for tbeir fraternal condolence. Bro. John W. Paul, Grand l:lecretary, rendOlred a most acceptable report on foreign correspondence. We llnd the opening of tbe report so much in consonance witb our own feelings and experience that we quote it entire : The task, albeit arduoUS, is a pleasant one; tbe labor, tbougb toihome, bas been a labor of love; tbe pages we b.vOl sc.nned are counted by tholl8lLnds ; and prll889d by businll8ll as we have been throul(b the wlll4ry boUl'8 of each luCCt:eding day, tbe moments d"voted to it have been InatcliOld at rare and irregular Ultervalt from the tbread of lifl!, and often, u on steamboat or railway journeys from point to point we were jotting down the thoughts th"

presented themselves, we doubted tbe possibility of being prepared witb tbis review. imperfect and disjointed as it is. In the reports of the Grand tel of Amt'rica there lU'e a few pointe which stand out prominently and seem to attract general attention; and perhaps the most important of all is the item of Military Cib, mRnv of which were organized under dispeD8&tion~ from Grand CfIj or Grand Mast<>rs durin~ tbe period of civil war now paet-we trust forever-tlnd attacbed to regiments in the lleldJ with authority (more or lea -generally letl1l-deftnite) to make Masolll ana do such otber masonic work as tel are usually emJ.'Owered to do. The war over, the .mob of battle eleared away, pUdon s turmoil hushed, reason resumes her peaceful SWI&Y, and calmly contemplating the results, is compelled to make tile avowl&l that while some good was undoubtedly effected by anny C£I. tbe evil was 10 immeasurably great a. to convince the true Crafbman tbat they were a cune rather than & bl_in~. Masonry is ever the cbild of Peace. Beneath the wings ofthe dove and In all the dwelling'places of harmony it llourillhes Rnd ~ws. Where hate and pR88lon reign, where death and carnage rear their horrid front, there she eo appear only as the m_nger of Mercy, 8OOtbi.n« the sorrow. of the weeping mourner, mitigating the sufferings of the woundea and diseased, or beariult the cup of cold water to the parched lips of the dS'n• She haR her victories, but tbeyare born of peace and not of war. The Iten almost unanimous, verdict of the ("'raft is againat army C£I. and we are mclin to the opinion that, in case of another war in which the United States is a party, not an army CI would be oflt&nized. We rejoice tbat in the lltfUl fever of tlle hour the patriotism of our Grand CI was so tempered with conservatism that the temptation was resisted and the name of no army CI stands, like a leprolls spot, upon the pages of our masonic history. Pulitical di.'lCU8.t.on bas no place in the c:J room or in masonic documents, and we introduce it here only to say that the address of the Grand Mutlll' of Iowa, which we noticed in our report of last yearl receives no favor at the hands of the Oraft. In every instance in which it lias been commented upon in the various pamphlets before \18, regret has been ex~~ that luch All address should have been delivered in an 688emblyof na. The Grand Master of Florida, in hig annual address in 1861, very justly and wisely said: •• Our deliberationa have nothing to do with steering tlie sliip of State, or of planninll: and promotinlt the obJects and desires of any political, commercial or other associations appertallling to the affairs of goverument." DeatM.-our investigatiOns renewedly reveal to us the ever-present truth that death is the hftl'ita~e of our race; that noble character and exalted position are alike helpless to defend from his 688aults: that neither the admil'l\tion of fl'iends nor the aff~'Ction of loved ones can so hedge us about as to prevent the entrance of the messenger to whose dread mandate each in hill turn mna hearken and obey. We ltather from the pages perused in rreparing this report information of the death of three Grand Secret'lries, al of them brethren whose judgment bad been matured and ripened by years of experience, and all eminent teachers ill the school of Masonry. Three groat lights are extinguished. No! we recall the word; they are not extinguiShed: the lamps, trimmed and brightly burning, have been removed from these outer courts, where light is not too abundant, into the inner sanctuary, where the ever·dwelling Shekinah sheds a gentle radiance, before which the mists of error, th&gloom of ignorance, Rnd the darkne!8 of prejudice have forever fled away. We had not the pleAsure of a personal acquaintance with either of the deceased, but our attention is arrested by the faCt that those who knew them beat speak loudest in their praise. We llnd 10,629 melnbers on the roU; 860 initiated; 98 admitted; 158 dimitted; 95 died; 12 expelled; 8 suspended. M. W. Bro. Wm. Storer, of West Hartford, elected Grand Master, and R. W. Bro. Jos. K.

DISTRICT 0:1' COL111t1BIA..

Grand 0 met November 6, 1866. M. W. Bro. Geo. O. Whiting, G. M., presiding. Number of C£l represented not given. No addrellll by the Grand Master. Much of the time was taken up with trying to settle a difficulty with Iowa, growing out of invasion of jurisdiction by' the District of Columbia. The committee alluded to the military C£J of the revolution of 1776 not being conflned to regiments, &c. We will ask our brethren· whether milita"Y C£J at that time made any M880nS at all; and if 80, out of any body except their own officers! What State. there were at that time to invade T If there be any thing we .do dislike in M880IJry, it is dodging an issue by the substitution of 8Ophistry. Nothing 80 dangerous as the aacriflce of principle to expediency, and we reiterate to our good fratru of the District that they should cancel their declaration of 1~to make M:880ne out of citizens from the States, for nearly every Grand 0 in the Union hlUl conllrmed the protest we entered in our last report. A page is set apart to the memory ofM. W. Bro. Wm. G. Parkhurst, G. S. W., who died October 10, 1866. Bros. DODl\ld80n and Gilman rendered report on Forei~n Correspondence. The report of our Grand 0 is favorably received, and the committee bave faithfully performed their duty toward all our sister jurisdictione. The committee to whom WIUI referred tbe circular of Missouri relative to a national convention, reported advOl8ely, and, as we think, for good re880ns, to tbe scheme. The Grand 0 recognized the Grand 0 of Nova Scotia. The number initiated was 486; passed, 466; raised, 605; affiliated, 75; dimitted, 180; died, 28 ; dropped for non-payment of dues, 164; suspended, 1 ; explllled, 2; total memberahip, 1,978; number of% 15. Bro. G. C. Whiting was re-elected Grand Master, and Rev. Bro. Noble D. Larner, of Washington, Grand Secretary. DELAWARE.

Tho Grand 0 held its sixtieth session on the 27tb of June, 1866. R. W. Bro. Willis Bolden, lUI Grand Master. Eleven C£J represented. The address of the Grand Maeter, M. W. Jno. A. Nicholson. WIUI read by the Grltnd Secretary. It is brief, on account of official duties being limited. The proct>edings show a disposition to improve the Craft in their work, and to plp,ce the Order on an barmooiolis and prosperous basis. A special meeting was held October 9th for exemplification of the work; also, one on the 20th of December for installation of District Grand MlUlter. We find no enumera~ion of.C£J or members. :M:. W.

GRAND LODGE OF Au8S0URI.

Grand 0 met June 27, 1867, M. W. Daniel MeOlintook, Grand .uter, presiding. The annual addr888 is a strong, practical production, looldDg toward the elevation of the interestl of the Craft, and_of placing the operations of the Grand 0 upon a more systematic basis. Two dispensations for new CEJ wero granted. He reports the old recorda ot the Grand 0 in a neglected condition, owin~ to the bad management ot preceding Grand Secretaries. who do not seem to have had a proper apprecution of the value of document~. In fact, .. through the earel888n_ of one of the Grand SeQl'etariea, many papers of great value were taken by the Tyler to kindle fires 1" The Grand Master, with the present efllcient Grand Secr.. tary, Bro. Allmond, have rescued from destruction much of the arcbivel, and have them safely deposited. The Grand Master suggests the utility of holding aemi-annual BellliODL J~ a small State like Delaware this might do, but, generally speaking, we thint the practice a bad one for the interests of the Craft, for the reason that the more frequently the Grand 0 meets the 1888 will be'the attendanoe of delegate.. The whole proceedings of the Grand 0 evinced a determin.ation to straighten matters out generally, and everything passed oft' in perfect harmony. The Grand 0 adopted the following:

Ruol"M, That CEJ under thil jurisdiction are positively prohibited from initiating, paBBing, raieing or admitting to membership or the rights oC visits.. tion any ne~o, mulatto or colored person of the United States. Thll prohibition shalfbe an obli~ation, and 10 taught in the third degree. Besol"M, That no 0 or individual MalOn shall hold communion or fellowship with any society or body professin!t or claiming. as sueb. to be masonic, except such as are recognized and acknowledged by this Grand D. Any disregard, violation or infraction of this regulation will Illbject the pmy or parties to expulsion. We heartily approve the above as necessary to a proper und6J'lltanding of the question. Many young and inexperienced Masons would and have innocently violated the latter r6lOlution, because it was Dot laid down in' the statute book. The time has come when every Grand 0 has got to define itself upon the subject of so-called negro Masons. On account of the !trowing publicity given to malOnic movements, and the great advantage being taken of it by men who do not amount to anything except what they derive from their character as Masona, and are always making their character known, the Grand 0 has a~opted the following sensible resolution: Re30l"ed. That every Mason of this jurisdiction is particularly enjoined to avoid addressing or saluting each other as a Freemason I1nl888 in private or in open C1. Violations of this rule to be punished by reprimand and 8uspenslon.

We have received the printed copy of reports of this

Gran~ CJ

from 1860

to 1866, inclusive. The preceding years baving been already reviewed, we shall refer only to the latter. Grand 0 met January 8, 1866. R. W. Henry J. Stewart, D. G. M., presiding as Grand Huter. A brief addresa from M. W. Samuel Benezet, G. M., WIUl read, reviewing 01llcial duties. He rendered the following decision relative to ~aimed candidates, in which we heartily concur. He says: Mackey, in his lexicon, says a candidate must be .. free from tiny physical defect or dismemberment." also of able boiy, and of limbs whole, &9 a man ought to be. Commenting on this he says: .. This is ono of the oldest regulations of our ancient craft. It arises from the originally operative nature of our indtitution. Whatever objections some ultra liberal brethren mllY make to the uncharitable nature of a law which excludes a virtuo'lS man from our fellowship because he has been unfortunate enough to lose a Ie:; or an IIrlD, we have no right to discuss the question. The regulation constItutes one of the many pecu1iarities that distinguish our lOOiety lrom all others; its existence continues to connect the present speculative with the former operative character of the in8titution j it is an important part of our history; und is. in short. by universal coJll4lnt, one of the landmark. of the Order. It can never, therefore, be changed." He W&8 asked whether desertion from the army was a masonic oft'en8e, and he replies tbJr.t the brother has â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ committed a politica.l oft'ense, with which Masonry bas nothing to do." Sensible. He arrested the charter of one CJ for" allowing the withdrawal of a petition before a ballot w.. had; for publicly talking about the concerns Ilnd bu~inC8& of the 0; .oliciting the uninitiated to make application, and conferring the degrees on more than one candidate at one and the same time." Weare pleased to ll&8 this growing evil of talking about 0 matters ontside of the Cl meet with the condemnation it deserves. The punishment above alluded to might well be pondered by BOme members in our own jurisdiction, and some, too, who would not like to be called .. young and inexperienced." The Grand Secretary, Bro. Corley, oft'ered the fonowing resolutions, which were adopted :

ResCJl"ed, That all chartel'l or warrants hereaft.er issued from this Grand Cl shall be recorded by the Grand Secretarv in a book to be procured and kept. by him for ~hat purpose.

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI.

Resol"ed, further, That the Grand 8ecretarv be instructed to record tbe charter or warrant heretofore iuued to any 0 in this jurisdiction upon the request of the 0, on being furnisbed with such warrant or charter, or a copy thereof, certitled under seal of tbe Lodge.

This is a practical mo\"ement, and one that should be adopted by all Grand

C£:J at their very organization; and, as it has been overlooked by our own, your committee recommend them to this Grand o. The report on Foreign Correspondence WIl8 rendered by the veteran Bro. Thos. Brown, and a moH complete and able report it is. He does not agree with Louisiana on tbe "life-membership" scheme instead of regular dues. He is opposed to privileged cllLl8eB, even of honorary members, and thinka the precedent a bW one. His criticism of the addresa of the late Grand Muter of Iowa is very )teeD; Most of the report wu taken up with a review of the Conservators' AIIOCiation, and presents a fuller history, in a condensed form, tban we have betore read; but as this Grand 0 has already disposed of this question, we will let it drop. Tbe proceedings of ML'!BOuri were not received or reviewed. Ruoll'ed, That this Grand 0 and its subordinates neither have, nor will have, Rny fl'l1ternal or friendly feeling with Robert Morris' &cietyof .. Conlervators." Ruol"ed, Tbat Robert Morris, of Kentucky, who has been base enough to pl'llctice an unpardonable fraud upon the Grand and pa~icular 4b. and many upright Muoos in thi, jurisdiction, could not astonish this Grand 0 with the commi8l!ion of any vice. J!u0l"ed, That this Grand 0 doer not recol;nize negro equality with the whItes. Resolved, That this Grand 0 will never hold fraternal correspondl'nce with any Grand 0, or other WlSemblvof MWlOns, that acknowledge the right 01' propriety of colored persons of African descent to be made Free MWlODB.

Thirty chartered C£!:J nlade full reports, showing 8tl initiations, 109 rej~ tiOIlS, 21 deaths, and 1,.95 members on the roll. M. W. Bro. D. C. Dawkins Wl\B elected Grand Ml\Bter, and R. W. Bro. Hugh A. Corley, of Tallahassee, re-elected Grand Secretary. GEORGIA.

Grand 0 met Oct. 31, 1866, M. W. John Barris, Grand :Master, presiding. Number of C£:J represented not enumerated, but the attendance was large. The addresa of tile Gnmd Master is replete with practical thoughl.l, and hie appeal in beb~lf of the pecuniary condition of the C£:J we trust may meet with the results bo anticipates. He justl)" complains of the large number of nonaffiliated Masons whose C£:J haa gone down in the destruction of war, and calls upon them to assist in resuscitating their dilfereot organizations, and b~' their works prove that they are Muons indeed. He alludes to the ad condition or financial aWairg, and prays for that peace which alone can grant prosperity to institutions whose objects are for benevolent purposes. He relies upon the pacific intentions of the brotherbood to bring about a etronger reunion of hearts over the whole country, and we trust that our

[Oct.

brethren everywhere will use their influence to aid our suffering members in Georgia and elsewhere to regain such a footing as citizens as will strengthen their efforts for the advancement of the noble principles of our Order. We find that the Committee on Jurisprudence reported in favor of an Entered Apprentice or Fellow Crail who had lost an arm as QUl\1itled to be adnnced. It is needless to 8IIy that in this our GralJd 0 does not coincide. Onr rule hl\8 been thl\t the physical qualifications which are necessary to initil\te l\re at least l\8 fully necessary to ml\ke a man competent to be raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason. How a one-armed man can possibly be instructed, or give instruction~, as a Master Mason is incomprehensible to us, unless we have manual work not required of others. Once decide that an Entered Apprentice has a right to advance bec/lUle he is an Entered Apprentice, and then there is no limit to the mutilation which may be overlooked. We trust that the Grand 0 of Georgia may reconsider and review such a dangerous precedent. The Grand 0 of Nova Scotia Wl\8 recognized at this l888ion. In the report of Grievance Committe on case of one May, that "indellnite路' luspension was contlrmed. In this decision, also, we beg to disagree, as we have never leen a satisfactory report of what indefinite .u.pemion consists in. In one lense it is expulsion, in another it is a suspension which may be terminated at the next meeting of the o. Our own laws will not permit it, and we think wisely; we hold that every punishment should be clear, positive and detlnite-this is just to the 0 and the convicted. In the report of Bro. Blackshear, D. D. Grand Master Fourth District, we find he decided that the Scniflr Warden" should preside in the absence of the Worshipful llaster. We agree on that, but he had a case of ballot before him in which he ccmld not arrive at a definite conclusion on account of their custom making the ballot for an Entered Apprentice' constitute the Entered Apprentice a member of the o. We can lay it down as a rule, that any Grand 0 which makes Entered Apprentices fMmbers of C拢:l will always And themselves at loggerheads witbJogic. If the ballot mllke him a member, why confer the degree! lfthe degree make him a member, why take ballots for the Fello\v Craft and Master Mason de~ee? We invite our brethren to "analyze this question and see if there be any consistency in making any Mason a member of a 0 except Master Masons? The Grand 0 decided that ballots must be had for each degree, and that all ballots must be secret-all in accordance with our own laws. The report on Foreign Correspondence is b,. Bro. G. L. Barry. It opens with regrets at having judged the Northern and Western brethren, during the war, with unkindness, and makes the following appropriate remarks : Opportunity has been afforded of judging them as Masons by the evidence they have furnished through the proceedings of their Grand qb, which have been submitted to the examination of your committee, and with but very few exceptions, which will be noticed in proper time and suitable language, we are

oonvinced that the Baered fire oontinued to burn with undiminished brightn888 upon their altars, and that the benign precept. of the order controlled their acts as Masons. The review of JIiasouri for 1866 and 1866 is oourteous and complimentary, and we fully agree with the Georgia committee upon the lltatus of .. erring brethren." vy e are glad to 1188 the spirit of complete DlA80nic equality maintained. Masons are perfect and equal, as such, or they are no )(asons at all, and we hold that political differences have nothing to do in settling the question or delining the welcome of a brother. On the other hand, however, we must disagree most emphatically with the committee upon the propriety of deciding upon the merits or demerits of either Bide in masonic bodies or correspondence. We have not, and shall not, hesitate to condemn all allusions to outside interests, both by our reports and our individual exertions. The committee extends a fraternal hand to all such Grand bodies as kep\ aloof from side issues, but plunges the lancet sometimes too deep into others, and in that, we think, commits a sin of the Bame kind which it reprehends. We hope, now that both sides have had their say, thll>t all recrimination will cease - especially so as those Grand :Masters who made use of their addresses for political purposes have been supplanted by men of better judgment. The Craft appears to be in a prosperous condition, under all the circumstances, and we much regret that the Grand Secretary did not give us a tabular statement of CÂŁb, members and work. Bro. John H:mis, of Covington, re-elected Grand Master, and R. W. Bro. Simri Rose, of Macon, re-elected Grand Secretary. ILLINOIS.

Grand CJ met October 2, 1866. M. W. Bro. P. H. Bromwell, G. M., presiding. No enumeration of eEl represented. The annual address is appropriate, and alludes to the fact that the Grand :Master was absent from the State for over ten months, and that most of his duty devolved upon R. W. Bro. J. R. Gorin. the D. G. M. There 'were 67 dispensations issued for eEl. and 106 for the inevitable cases of "emergency." If the Grand CJ were to chnrge about $50 for ench one of these elDer~ency performlUlces. we think there would be mnny candidates in Illinois who would suddenly find out that they did not want to get the degrees" so much as they thought they did," and leave; in other words, .. it would not pay." About ninety-nine out of everyone hundred of such candidates want the degrees from mercenary motives. and they should be made to pay largely for the investment. 1Ve are gratified that our law does not countenance such usage;. We find the receipts to be $20,261 00; expenditures $20,894 85. We are pleased to lind that the amendment offered at the preceding session.

If any 0 in this jurisdiction violate this expressed will of this Grand 0, it shall'be the duty of the M. W. Grand Master of the State at once to arrest its charter.

We find ten pages of tabular statements of work done, but as the Grand Secretary did not add the columna up we havc not got the time to do it for him. All we can say is, that the figures look as if too much work was performed by many Cjb. There was no report on Foreign Correspondence published with the proceedings. H. W. Bro. Jerome R.

Grand 0 met May 28, 1867. M. W. Harvey G. Hazelrigg, Grand Master, presiding. The annual addre&! was one of the most sterling messages it has been our pleasure to read. There are IIIlme points of usage with which we do not agree with the author, but these are honest diff'erencBs of opinion. The Grand Master evidently sat down to write an address that would furnish light to the Craft, and dispensing with all the circumlocutions of rhetoric, he went to hi8 work and turns it out with a8 good grace and in as good temper as should be expected from that distinguished officer. This meeting was the fiftieth annivenary of the Grand 0, and the Grand Master furnishe8 a very clear and brief history of the past. The foIlowing extract elthibits a specimen of cosmopolitanism, to which we render a hearty" so mote it be :" Our ditrerences and troubles, as a political gO\'ernment, is of a8 much interest to Masons as any one else, and it is as much our right and tiut)' to pa~ ticipate in their inv~tl~tion and to assist in the settlement of every mooted question of national policy as it is of penon8 who are not MUOJl8; but it would tie just a8 appropriate to diacuss and settle questions of Masonry in a leltisllltive assembly as It would be to di@cu58 questioJls ~rtaining to the admilllstration of civil and political government in a masonic D. We may dift"er as much as we please, while we do it honestly, upon question8 of government pohcy, or church doctrines and ordinances, but he who can not enter & CJ without bringing his poouliar notions of cburch or state with him for the purpose of their l'ropRgation ?r invBl!tigation there! is unftt, at least ~or th~ t~mc, of masomc collsidel'l\tlOn.

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI.

Religious and politicai disputes are never permitted to engage the attention of, or euter, our~. These questions are left. for the diBcu8alon and aett\ement of other or~anizatioDi!, for whom such things are more appropriate, it being a certain truth that the wisest systema have been more frequently injured than benefited by rell垄oU8 and political cavil. Muonry requires tile relijtious test of those who seek admission into her portals, that they shall bl'!lcve that there is one great, self-existent first cause; that there is a God, who is the maker, builder and preserver of all thin~ and whose aid must be implored in all our laudable undertakings. But it does not intend to set up any particular system of religion i . that would be reducing it to the level of B mere religious seet, utterly subvert its verl existence and destroy its universality. It embraces a view of all the mam facts connected with human redemption, but leaves the brethren to arrange these facts as may suit their own Individual opinions. Muonry requires but one political qualiftcation, and that is obedience to constituted authority; and, although it prospers moet in time 01 peace, and perhaps under democratic forma of government. yet it has existed and prospered, not onl)' in aristocratic and desi>otic governments. but also in times of war. No form of government or belligerent state of society can destroy or exterminate the holy. principles of Muonry. They are as路ftrm, lure and permanent as the foundations of eternal truth; they are co-existent with, or anterior to, creation itself, and will survive the wreck of worlds. In speaking of the fenr arising from a too rapid increl\8e of membenhip, he says: While we must admit that long-continued SUCCCSB and exemptions from calamitios or attncks will throw the most wary off their guard. \"et, having the faith we have in the self路sustailiin~ power of Muonr)', the puritv of its purposes, and its ability to thwart the machinations and attacks of even the most malevolent, we do not participate in this suspicion of impending danger; for we know that the Lord will protect those that are his, and that wbile the .M aster Builder keepeth the house, ttle watchman watcheth Dot in vain. We' have but to keep vigil at the entrance of the sanctuary, and ~ee that none enter but the true and to be trusted, and all will continue well. The only danger that can assail us is from within; that is in our own keeping, aDil unless we could h.\rbor the unn~tural thought of suidde, we eRn not feur our olvn slllf-destruction. Then if Masonry is the good that we claim and believe it to be, we should not deny it to anv who approach in the proper manner.

The Grand Mnster disposes of the assumptions of the Grand CJ of the District of Columbia in a forcible style, and fully accords with our own viewlI expressed last year. Relative to punishment for non-payment of dues he usell thc following clear argument: So with the non-payment of dues-every CJ much docille ellch case upon its own surroundings; and it is the best ana SAfest tribuIJlIl to investi~"te the conduct of its members, and determine what punishment ought to be lIIt1icted tor I' \"iolntion of ita laws.

And yet It is maintained by BOme that the violation or non-performance of this duty is BO trivial a matter that it should scarcely be visited with any inconvenience at all. It is my opinion that the willful violation of any solemn and known duty should be strictly proved, and then as strictly and rtgidll punished. It is not neCBS6ary to speak of those who are unable to pay-theU' case is never without a remedy; but my observation teaches me that the less the ability the greater the punetuality. On the old question of a 0 trying its Worshipful Master, the Grand Master still adheres to the pecllliarity of his Grand 0 laws permitting this custom, and as we believe it is the only State that indulges in the luxurV, and the only one likely to, we will not occupy your time in discu88ing it. We can only ask, Should the judge of a court be put upon trial before a petit jury! Bros. Nicholas D. Grover and Jobn B.

The address is well written, and the report evinces considerable official work and interest in the Craft. The Grand Master pays a tribute to the nemory of our late Bro. O'Bullivap, when referring to the" fraternal dead." It was with pain that we read in his address an appeal, or rather suggestiQn, in favor of negro l:fu of Masons - pain that the Grand ~aster, for whom we entertain such high regard, should have seen proper to go so far outside of sound masonic policy as to drag into our councils such a disorganizing element. As his own Grand D, however, took such a sensible view of the subject, we shall not press the consideration of it further at this time than. to give the report of the committee upon the closing recommendation of the Grand Master. After referring to the defense of the "stan and stripes," &c., he lays; Do you not recognize in this question a new duty devolving lIpon us T I do not recommend hasty action, but onl.v early considerntion, lind would suggest the appointment of a special committee to report upon it at our next Grand Annual Uommunication. The following is the very sensible and masonic report of the committee:

To the M. w.. the GI'and D of Iowa: BRBTBBIlN- Your committee, to whom was referred the Annual Addre8ll of the 111. W. Grllnd Ma~ter, beg lea\'e to submit the following report: The official acts of our M. W. Grand Master, as set forth in his llddress, we most cordially approve and elldorse. We, however, deem it our privile!/;e and our duty to diBllent from the suggestions and recommendations of the M. W. Grand. Master respectiug our relations, mll80nically, to n~o Masons, and respecting l;ranting dispensations lor the formation of negro eeJ. . We know the views of the M. W. Grand Master arll the pulsations of bis large masonic heart, but nt the present juncture we do not think thev are feaSable, and ought not to be entertained boY this Grand Body, for the following reasons: 1. This question, if introduced into the masonic body, would- be the entering wedge to rend asunder, beyond the power of recovery, the masonic love and hllrmony that does, nnd nlways should, exist among us. 2. Tho Ancien't Constitutions declnre that II candidate for masonic hono1'8 .. must be frec-born, of good report," &c. This alone is of sufficient importance to cause us to reflect aud hll cautIOUS. We should, as a (jrand body, by such a movemeT\t subject ouraelves (and that ju~t1y) to the most silvere and indefensible criticism from our sister Grand Câ&#x201A;ŹJ that can rea<.1ily be concllived, and instea<.1 of our m"llOnic. thermometer stllndiug lit a temperate and hellithy degree, as it now does, we should in " short time fall below zero. In "inw of the foregoing we would recommend the adoption of the following resolution: Reso{ved, By thill Grand D, that in, 'consideration of the dignity that she is in duty bound to maintllin towards he~elf, and the respect sho has fur her subordinates and individual Masons within ht>r juri~diction, we deem it unwise and imprudent to eutertain any ll.Ctiou in reilltion to thc recognition a' regular either negro Câ&#x201A;ŹJ or negro Masons.

Tbe Grand MMter submitted eleven closely printed pages 'of decisions rendered during the year, most of which are in MlCOrdance with our own, others differing according to the construction of local laws. The r"port of the Grand Secretarv, Bro. Parvin, Ia very complete and aWards a practical view of operations. He recommends, &t! a matter of economy, the stereotyping of published proceedings. The following report we extract as eminently applicable to our own GrlAnd CI, under the head of R~t"rns.-Two vears ago the Grand Flecretary adopted n new form of .. Blank Roturll8," b&t!ed upon that of the Grand Cf of Indiana A ~ufficient D'imber were onl)路 printed to l&t!t for two s~ions. The form h&t! answered an admirll ble purpose, and meets with the cordial approval of all the CEl. In issuillp; others, the Grand Secretary will make such improvements as the exptlrl('lDce- of the p&t!t two years have suggested, !lnd asks that the form may be stereotyped. In this connection, the Grand Secretary f\lels compelled to sug~l'st the ent:re modillcaLion of the present prllctice of the Grand 0 relative to Returos and Dues. Now, the Returns are brought up to the Grand 0, Dues receipted for upon the face ot'the Returns, when they are submitted to a committee for inspection du,-t.ng ih~ session of the Gru.nd 0. Notwithstanding great pains hAve been taken to select old lind experienced members for the committee .. On Returns of Chartered Yb. ,. the Grand Secretary has often found grave E'rrors in their examination of Returns, arising, no doubt, from the hurry in which the work is done. The Gratnd Secretary Sl\gge~ts, as R remedy, that the mMonic nar end with lIn 1 rather than Jnne. ana that the qb &e required to forward to the Grand Secretary their Returns immediatelv thereafter, so that he may examine the Returns and have his report thereon ready for the opening session of the Grand 0 The abundant experieme of the past demands a Gener"l :Regulation to this end.

We will here state that the form of Returns alluded to above was sent to lls hy Bro. Parvin, and, with some alterations, we have found them the most appropriate for our own Cib of an~' in u'e. The report of the Librarian (Bro. Parvin) shows a lively interest in this Important department, and the collection of valuable masonic works. The report of the Committee on Chartered t:eJ shows a .. good record," and .. work well done." The Grand 0 determined to hold its next meeting at Des Moines, and we must say that we regret to Bee a Grand 0 on wheels. As an evidence of the beauty of this rambling system, the Grand Secretary reports a library room at Muscatine, with sixteen cases of books, papers, &c., the library proper at his house in Iowa City, the proceedings in sbeets at Davenport, and the Constitutions at Des lloines. Our own Grand Cl bas the misfortune of mournin~ over lost records, books, &c., while it \~as takin~ an excursion over the State, and we think our craft; should be gratified that this Grand Body at last" found a resting place for the soles of its feet." When" rolling stones" procure the faculty of" gathering m088," then only clIn we recommend Grand Bodies to pursu.e their annual peregrlnatioDl.

The foll<twing memorial was o1rend by many brethren, but, fOt' unexplained reason8, was laid over:

To tM M. W. tlw Grand CI of [OtJ}fI. : We, whose names- Are h8l'eunto annexed, memben of the respective râ&#x201A;Ź:J of the citv of BurlinJ;tton, and State of Iowa, would respectfully invite the attention of the Grana Cl to the fal,'t that there is an attempt made to establi8h, in thi8 jurisdiction, an in8titution known as the" RITE or MJ:MPRT8." claiming to be Ancient Craft MasoDl'Y. We would, th8l'efore, ask yOUl' honorable body to investigate the same, and ascertain, if practicable, whether the same be true Ot' not, and take8uch aetion IIlI the Grand CI may deem best We know nothing about the "Rite of Kemphis," and do .ot want to know, we understand it to be a twin sister of other I!O-called "llasIInic Rites" of of which we do know something; but we are glad to 886 that the masonic membership of Iowa are awake to the interests of the Order. and are 1'6ady to guard their ri~hte. There are about forty of these .. Kasonsic Rites" afloat in the country, which put on all sorts of dignities, titles, &c., and all are about equal, i. eo, mere fungus trees, which, like Jonah'8 gourd, will Spl'flad over the earth for a day, and die. Bro. D. S. Watean, the Grand Ol'lLtor, deliv8l'ed all appl'opl'iate addrea, which was pUblished with the pl'OCBeding8. The report on Foreign Correspondence Willi rend8l'ed by Bro. Edward A. Guilbert, who reviews the proceedings of 88 Gi-Ilnd râ&#x201A;Ź:J, in 166 closely-printed pages, .. very large portion of which is consumed in rebutting criticisDl8 against the addr888es and in defending the administration of M. W Bro. Edward A. GuilbBr't, who was Grand Kaster in 186-1 and 1865. The addreu of the Grand Hast8l' in 1865 was 'one of the most remarkable we had ever read, and, in tho innocency of our heart, we presumed to 8ay that we did not know what to make of it, &c ; and at the time we had no idea that said address would be cut to pieces from ev8l'y quarter of the country, else we 8hould have been a mere "looker on in Vienna," and witnessed the di88ecting process by more skillful hands; and wo even now regret that our arrow8 found a resting place, in consideration of the fact that our esteemed brother has been literally covered with them. Bro. Guilbert po88eeses many most estimable traits of mllsonic worth, and i8 one of the hardest worke1'9 in the W tlst. We are oot $Ul'pl'ised that, wounded and standing at bay, he should deal us a blow among the number, but are 8urprised that the barbs .hould be 80 softly temp8l'ed with a smile, und8l' the circumstances. His criticisDl8 on Missouri are chiefly devoted to our esteemed P. G. M. Bro. Houstoo, on whom he poUN the villis of his wrath for &88Biling 80 8trongly the "Conservatora' Allociation," of which we presume Bro. Guilbert was once Il high priest. At any rate, as we were never mixed up in that old quarrel, and as it has died Ollt, we shall not rellew it now. H", however, warmly commends Bro. Houston's addret18 in tho main. He blames us for not giving his proceedings a fuller report last year, but we have to eay in apology that the original copy was lost "nd we did not get a duplicate till "fl.er our Grllolld CI had commeuced ita till

We do not know that we ever read a review which presented 80 many vulnerable pointe, lmt as our time and apace is too precious to waste in qoill fights we mUBt nelt criticize too dOll ely, (or, taking Bro. Guilbert all in all, we admire his perfect candor and devotion, and can eaaily overlook what we deem his objectionabIe Jloints. From his J'f:'port on North Carolina we do not think he voted for thlt resolution already quoted, relative to negro Câ&#x201A;Ź::J, adopted by his Grand D. Bro. Horner, of La., criticized the masonic propriety <Tf attaching numerals after the names of grand officers, indulged in by Bro. Parvin of Iowa, and Bro. Guilbert apologizes for his Grand Secl."etary on the score of formerreoognition, but with him we deprecate the custom as totalJy ineonsistent with the dignity and supreme authority of .M. W. Grand % the peen of the highest masonic powers in the world; to give, therefore, the name of a grand officer with figures which pretend to convey a "higher grade" is, to say the least, not complimentary to the Grand 0 of Iowa. We believe it is the ouly one in the world which indulges in the luxury, and would be deli~hted to see it dispensed with. We find 213 Ctb on the roll; 120 represented at last se88ian, and there are 193 at work. There were initiated, 1381; raised, 1107; admitted, 658 j dimitted, 627; died, 68; suspended for non-payment <Tf dues, 75; expelled, 22. Total membership, 8468. The Grand Secretary publishes a most valuable statistical table, which will accompany this report. Bro.

We know of but one remedy: let each Grand 0 decide what its work shall be, and then maintain that work with a firm hand throughout her jurisdiction. Place herself squarely upon a well路defined record, and then stand by the record. If she do not, she will be at the mercy of every mallOnic emigrant who settles in her limits.

The committee, in making report on Grand 0 clothing, speak of "REGAWe do Dot allude to this here because it is the only 0, Grand or Subordinate, which uses that term. but that the word brings up a current of thought which we deem we are justified in expre88ing. Regalia is from rdgal, which means kingly, and regalia is the proper insill:nia of crowns, coronations, &co It is a misnomer in Masonry. Who ever heard of the leather apron of a. Mason, as he plied his trowel upon the wall, called " regalia 1" The word is not, and should not, be applied to any of the clothi.ng of men in any profession. The good old masonic name for all that a Mason wears is "clothing." Clothing means something to drC88 in and work in; and if there be any such thing as regalia in Masonry, it can apply only to the loose ribbons and furbelows on parade day, and which are no part 01 parcel of Freemasonry. We would delight to see the word forever crushed out of masonic language. It may suit imitation societies, but not our old and ancient Order. LIA."

The Grand

of Nova Scotia was recognized.

The doings of the Grand 0 were principally those of correcting the errors of subordinates arising from the singular position of that Grand D, and which was 80 often referred to by our predecessor, viz.: considering. each degree a separate and distinct D, with equal powers, all under one charter. For iustance: one D is reported "irregular," because it balloted for a Fellow Craft in the Masters' degree; again, an Entered Approntice or Fellow-Craft D may try and punish one of its members, independent of the Ml\sters' D. One other strange ruling we notieed was, that the work of a D under dispensation WM considered informal, beca.use they had done work before their officers were illstalled. The insbllation of officers under dispensation we do not understand. We look upon them as merely the representatives of the Grand Mnster or Grnnd D, and are appointed, not elected. We do not install a Muster until he has received the Pust Masters' dcgree; and how Clln an apIWinted Master assume the obligations and answer the questious in that degree! Nor do we undentand how a D under dispensation could elect their Master, under the language of the dispensation, for the three oftluers are selected by the petitioners and nominated to the Grl1nd Master, and he call appoint or reject at his pleasure; and if he appoint them, theu that takes from the petitioners all right to elect. We bold that installation 0011 only take place under the c1~a1路te1" issued by the Grand D, wherein the members are authorized to elect their officers after the D has been regularly constituted by competent authority.

aays he wishes it to he distinctly undentood that he thinks it not only the province, but the duty, of the chairmen of the Committees on Foreign Corresspondence to exprflllll their viows and opinions on all masonic subjects contained in the p~edingll of other Grand Cib which, in their judgment, are of general interest to the Craft, that by such discull8ions truth may 11nally be evolved, and erroneous actions and decisions as well of Grand Cib as of Grand Masten, after being submitted to the alembic of reason, wund criticism and masonic usage&. be corrected and settled for the Craft.

From a report by this able committoe we quote: If

l:拢J and Grand Cib to transact their business in the Entered Apprentice sand

Fellf)w Craft's degrees. A11 other &8I!OCiatif)ns rejtard the initiation to the flnt degree as the introduction into tbe Order, therefore thAir labon are performed generally in the llnt degree. All other degrees are regarded as advances on the fint Rut it is not so in Masonry. A ClIndidate is not a Mason, in the proper sense of the term, until he iil iniroduced into the Master's degree, The de!tl'eea of Entered Apprentice and Fellow Craft are but preparatorv to the sulllime mising which renden the eandidate the master workman. The Entered Apprentice and Fellow Craft are but the pro!tl'88fl wOl'king their way to the Master's privileges. The only rights they can claim are those wh路ich refer to their advancement. The Entered Apprentice claims the right to be p_ed to the de~ee of a Fellow Craft, and he is to be paBled when he has lelll'Iled a sufficiency of his trade to be able to work himselfinto an Entered Apprentice's o. If he do not make pr<lftcieney, he hMS no rill:ht to his furthp.r passage. 80 with the Fellow Craft. He passes from the degree ot Entered Apprentice and still finds that he is in progress. He still understands that he is only ealled upon to make proflciencv. He must attain to the necessary knowledge that wou1d entitle him to admiSsion into a Fellow Craft's o. And when properly prepared, and not bef0l'8, he ill admitted to the Master's degree. And this IS the Master's degree, bceause it is at the bead of the mystic art. The raising renders the Fellow <-'raft a Master workman, and thenceforth he is entrusted with the labon of the more perfect Crat\smen. We admit the claim of the Entered Apprentice and Fellow emft to advancement on their attainment of proficiency. And to such an extent do we admit this claim that we conceive that the a has no right to refuse to lead them forward in its mvsteries. Proficiency, soundness and !tOGd character arl'l all that are essential to advancement. The 0 that rejects the applicant who knocks at its door with his claim thus establiAhed does violence to the Ml\8Onic institution. But not admittin~, character and sel'Vices as an Entered Apprentice and Fellow <-'raft Re ignored. Among the ancient <-'raftsmen the Entered Apprentice was very highly I'88pected. Be was no longer an outsider, but a learner within the outer waITs ()f t~e temple. Be was consulted upon points of action and propriety in his particular department. And just here Ict us ask our brother, who were these Entered Apprentices among the ancient Craftsmen that they should have been thus honorlld! And what will be his allswer! He will reply that they were the able~t" the best informed, and ~he most distinguished men of the community. Ml\8Onry w.\s then a select Order, and none bllt the best and most distinguished men were admitted into it. Our modern estimates have lowered the I 'rder, and our brother asks immunities for Entered Apprentiel.'S now on behillf of persons that the old-fashioned workmen would not have admitted throllgh the outer gates. The gl'cat fault that Masollry has colllmitted within her ill\nctul\ry men that will never undentand her chanloler 1101' properly estimllte her mysteries.

poses and were sufficiently elevated in intellect and society to do honor to the Craftsmen and the institution. But suppose the Entered Apprentice and the Fellow Craft were admitted to full members!lip, and that tlie work of the Cib was to be performed in those degrees! What a minl!'ling of sentiments, and ceremouies, and characters, would such a regulation produce! The Master's degree is really the working de~ee, and none but Masters can properl1 be allowed to place ashier. on the temple walls. In performing labor ID the lower degree the Master's degree must be continually referred to, and points of m&!onic character would sometimes be discussed that Masters only can understand and appreciate. When it is said that we call an Entered Apprelltice brother, and therefore should not restrict him in the enjoyment of hIS masonic privileges, or deny him his ri~hts, we cannot understtmd the force of the argument. We may call the F.ntered A pprentice brother with propriety, bec lUBe he has been admitted into the outer court of the temple and is on his way to the inner. Besides, we accord him his full measure of right of an Entered Apprentice, but must lead him into further lijtht before we can admi~ him to full fellowship as a brother or member of an. A world of thought rushes upon us in our consideration of this subject, but time admonishes us that we must resist it and proceed to other points in our review.

From the address of the Grand Master we extract the following: If in our review of what has been done in this jurisdiction during the year we fail to find indications of rapid progress, we should not be surpriscd nor disappointed. Rather let us be thankful for the measure of prosperity we have enjoyed, and '.In('.ouraged by the assuft\nce that we have not gone backwards. For myself, I confess my great anxiety bas been, not that we should attempt to move forward l't\pidly, but that we should endeavor quietly to re!!:l\in, and steadily l\nd firmly to hold, our former pOl!ition, and, so fllr as practicable, to recover and brlng together what has been lost al'd sctlttered during the storm. I have much satisfaction in betn~ able to report to you that peace and harlllony prevail throughout our jurisdiction.

Grand 0 met January 21, 1867; M. W. Bro. Geo. W. Perkins, Grand Master, presiding. A large number of C£J were represented. The annual address is an excellent document, and reviews the various issues before the fraternity in his jurisdiction. Relative to negro C£J, he says: "It is the duty of Masons to treat the members of the colored race kindly and charitably under all circumstances, always remembering that their present unm\tural position is not one of their own choosing; but, constituted as they arc by nature-alwsys and everywhere leaning for help on the stronger races, and without that help relapsing into hopeless barbarism-they can not be recognized as Masons. True Masonry has never done so, and, in my opinion, never will. The ballot box is the surest guarantee against !uch C£J." The special commIttee on "physical qualiIlcations" reported in favor of advancing candidates with artificial limbs. It was a custom years ago, in lOme Grand C£J. to install officer3 by proxy, and we do n)t think it will take more than one more war to wipe out what little is left of the landmarks. and "make Masons" b;r proxy, also. After a while. we shall expect to see men come up who have lost everything but head and body, but whom poverty deprives of ability to buy cork substitutes, who will either borrow somebody else's arms and legs. or get some perfect men to represent them in the del,'Tees. The whole case is without a parallel and perfectly ridiculous. For oUNelves, we intend to stick to the ancient landmarks as long as a plank relllain.~. Whenever Freemasonry gets so far down that it resolves its C2J into hospitals for the halt, the lame, deaf and blind, and starts out as a hum'\Ditllrian institution, to throw its mantle of relief over the profane world and bring iu beggars and cripples with a drag-net, then it is time for it to throw asidu its standard as a "Royal Art," and bury its landmarks out of sight.

The credentials of nJusmous Bro. Giles M. Hinyer, 88d, as representative of the Grand Orient of Cuba, were read and referred to a committee, who reported the credentials of Bro. Hillyer, B3d, u correct, &c., and invited a similar appointment by the Grand 0 of MississiWi near the Grand Orient of Cuba. This is the brief of the matter. Now let us see if there be not a principle involved. The Grand 0 of Ml8Bwippi was wen acquainted with Bro. Hillyer RB Put Grand Master-the bi~hest rank and highest title in Masonrybut what did it know of .. TIlustrioUB Bro. Gites Mumford Hillyer, 83d. t" That is the point. Whenev('r a Grand 0 pretends to recognize titles and bodies of which it does not, and can not, know anything, then there is no end to the innovation. The title "88d" is a very small matter in ligures, but it designates a pretended and assumed rank in Masonry that has no legitimate existence. It asaumas to control aU the de~ of Masonry and overlook them as a Grand Insp~r-Generat, although it professes, in certain places, &0., to .. waive" that right; but we protest against any American Grand a giving reCOltDition to the titles of "side degrees." If they do, then will come representatives from the" Rite of Memphi.s," "Egyptian Rite," "E Clampu. Vitus," and "Sons of Malta." This Grand 0 keeps itself alool and independent of all Grand bodies except Grand lÂŁ:J, and with them she maintains an equality, but allows nothing superior to hel'llelf. If the Grand Orient of Cuba claims to be nothing higher than a governing body of Masters' Câ&#x201A;ŹJ, alld is willing to accredit a representative to this body who shall assume no other title than that granted by this Grand 0, then we would vote for the acceptance of the credentials; otherwise, we would oppose it on the ground thaI we, l\9 Masons, can not ackn~wledge or recognize a~y title or superiority above us in our midst. It is time for the American Grand l:E:J of the United States to stand upon their ancient dignit), and honor, and to keep themselves free from all "entangling alliam:es," just as the time-honored Grand ~ of England, Scotland and Ireland have done, and from whom we spring. We would like to have seen the stern reply of the Grand 0 of Scotland, which she gave in 1802 to a like invitation to acknowledge the paternity and recognition of so-called Scotch degrees, manufactured in France and Charleston, S. C., lIS recorded by thu great Laurie in his history, 1808. He says: This year a circular letter WRB received from a body stvtin:;; itself" The Supreme Grand Council of America."

G. Master of the Masons of Tennessee. In the foregoing will be noticed an error relative to Bro. J ohn80n being a Past Grand Master, as such was not the case. Another point we deem an error, viz., as to who made the apron and who presented it. We were informed by the Worshipful Master of Alexandria (Washington) 0, No. 22, in 1857, when examining thllt piece of work. that it was made by the wife or Bro. Lafayette, and by her husband presented to Bro. Washington. Much of the report is occupied with the very interesting and imposing ceremonies performed at the lilying of the corner-stone of the new hall on November 20, 1866, at which was ll88embled one of the largest representations of the fraternity ever held in the Atlantic States. A beautiful oration by Bro. I. B. Latrobe is printed in full, and we regret that we have not space to copy it. Report on Foreign Correspondence was rendered by Bro. Wm. J. Wroth. It is written in the usual easy style of that committee, and it gives us pleasure to read it, heing a strong adherent of sound conservative law and usage. His review of Missouri is very complimentary, and his remarks on our predecessor, along with those of all other committees, will be fOllnd under one head, relative to our late Bro. O'Sullivan. Grand 0 met May 13. 1867; M. W. John Coates, Grand Master, presiding. The annual addre88 is very good. It opens thus: It is grati(ving to me that I am able to con~Rtulllte you upon the hellthful and prospe.rous condition of the frliternity within OU1' own jnrisdiction l\nd throul/:hout the masonic world. The belll!(n influences of our institution are felt lind IIcknowledged in all pArts of the civilized world. Amid the wild upheavings of European policies and politics, Masonr.y maintains its conservative character-sublime in the contrast it presents With religious bigotry and political demagogism. In our own country it has greened in the sun and strengthened in the storm, and lit no former period of its history on the American continent has it occupied a prouder, nobler position o( virtuous dignity and fraternal usefulness than at the present day. The reunion of fraternal relations and exchnnge of fraternal courtesies in November last, in this city, on the occasioll of !>lying the corner-stone of our new Masonic Temple has borne precious fruitl' in the full revival of old associations, and in the demonstration to the world that there is something more in Masonry than a mere name; that it is a living, holy princi{lle, instinct with brotherly 10\'e, founded on truth and moral virtue, a SOCIal OasiS amid the arid desert of the world's selfishne88, where life's wearied pilgrim ever finds cool shades and sparkling fou&tains of living Wllters.

Relative to subordinate Gb getting State charters, he wisely says: M;r attention has been called to the fact that during the last se88ion of the LegIslature of this State sevual of the Gb had made application to that body for the passage of acts incorporating said Gb. These IIpplications are made by the lirethren, no doubt, with the best intentions, hut Without proper reflection. I commend thIs whole matter to the careful and serious consideration of the <?rand L:J. I would recommend the pll8llllge of an order forbidding this COUl'lle lD future.

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI.

The Grand 0 passed a resolution forbidding any more applications to the Legislature. He reports the Grand 0 Hall getting along prosperously, and calls for additional subllCriptions to stock. The reports of the GNnd Inspectors (as the D. D. G. M. are called) r.~present their districts in a harmonious condition. Bro. Wm. J. Wroth rendered a very able report on Foreign Co,.. rCl!pondence, and we regret that the SpRee already devoted to Maryland will not permit extended extracts. From Nevada, he quotes a brieCreport of socalled negro C£:J, which we transfer for the benefit of Missouri Masons, as follows: In 1784 certain colored persons residin~ in Boston petitioned the Grand Master ofEn~land for a charter. The charter, dated September 29,1784, was granted to Prince Hall. Bostoll Smith, Thomas Sanderson, and several othel'll, all colored men, under the name of African 0, No. 459. The charter, however, was not received in Bost"n until the yeRr 1787. It was an ordi:,lIry charter in the usual form, and conferred no other privileges than those usually ~nted by such instruments. Of its proceedings from this time until 1827 we have no definite information, at which time we find it actively at work under the Mastership of Mr. John T Hilton, claimin/!: the powers and p!ero~ atives of a Grand 0, under the Dl\me of Prince Hall Grand of A. Y. M., which powers it must have assllmed as earlv as 1812, in which year it is said to have ~nted a charter for Boyer 0, No.1 (colored), in the city of New York. It wa., stricken from the re/!istry of the Grand 0 of England in 1818, and its lawful existence was then of course terminated, had it ever been anythi,!!!: other than an irregular organization. On surrendering the charter, wnleh 1DaB Re1>er returned to it, a copy was kept. and after the had been dormant for several years it was revived with this (JOEY by the persons who were in possession of it. Its ori¢nal estnblishment in Boston was a violation of the jurisdictional rights of the Grand of MR!ll!achusetts, which WRll 0I'!!:anized in 1738, liftv-one years before the charter for this col••red 0 was /trllnted by the Grand d of En~land; and, therefore, waiving the question of color, it could never have been recognized by that or any other masonic body as a lawful D. •

Bro. Wm. F. Sanders rendered the report on Foreign Correspondence, and we find it a very satisfactory document. The committee criticise strongly the report Of D. D. Grand Master Pike, of Louisiana, for endeavoring to prove that members of a Grand may wear insignia of a different degree than that of Master Masons in Grand D. We agree with Bro. Sanders iii the following extract:

Conceding the human and m'l.SOnic distinction, it does not seem to follow as a legitimate conclusion that the ml\ll()nic clothing in the Blue Cl should not be uniform. It is not seen that it is advisable to widen these distinctions, or insist upon them on all occasions with pertinacity, until the clothin,; of a Cl shall become as parti-colored as the coat of JOll8ph, a Mexban pony, or the waidrobe of a Blackfoot chief. Were it only a question of taste, it seems to us to be settled by the fact that uniformity in arrance most imprellllEl8 aU beholders, if we except our excellent brother. * * * * In such matters uniformity itself is beauty, and beauty, in whatever form presented, is needful to adern all great and important undertakin~ and is a potent minister for good-not to be dispensed with to patify the weak pride that would induce a member of a Master }(l\lI()ns' 0 thus to advertise to his more unfortunate [or fortunate] or unambitious brethren that he has taken a higher degree. To express it more briefly: Does not this ambition on the part of Master 1I1\l1()ns to wear in the 0 the ribbons and jewels of other degrees only say, in 10 many words, that they have obtainea a certain distinction bV investment of cash which they could not acquire by merit or brains T We think it does. Tbe whole report is good, but time and space will not permit further notice. Bro. Hull, of Virginia (''1ty, was re-elected Grand Master, and R. W. W. F.

The annual address was one oithe most appropriate and beautiful we have ever read, and in looking over it we scarcely know where to begin with our extractlo, and can only regret that we can not reproduce it entire. In speaking of the rapid increase ot membership, he says: In reasoning upon this subject we must not fo~et that there msy be many other CAUses fOr the incre"se of our membership tllan that of a want of proper caution on our part. Among these may be mentioned the increase of the human family, the advancement of the liberal arts and sciences-the increase ofin8titutions oflearning, with their easf facilities of education-the development and prolUession of the science of Clvi1lovemment-the chanlte of religion from the partisan h"tred, fanaticism an intolerance of the Romanist and Mohammedan to that beautiful doctrine of peace and good-will which permits every one to worship by the guide of his own oonr;cience-the decline of bigotry and growth of philosophy in ethics-the untrammeled researches after trotti, and the radical penetration of these researches-the capacity of men in general to form just estimates in morals-the expansion of reason and the elevation of man-the decline of vice and ÂŁ1'Owth of virtue in the social relations-the whole enlargement, enlightenment, reftnement and puriflcation of the creature, man These may well warrant the belief that, as we now ftnd him, man will be :o:ea10usly seeking at everv fountain and every source of knowlekge for truths yet undiscovered to add to his storehouse already rich with precious gems.

masonic duties towards those who may disagree with us politically and those who suWer, he eloquently says: Brethren, at the present juncture of events in our coun~. it may be considered that our Ordllr stands in a most responsible position. A war hu terminated, leaving many of the ties and bonds which once united the people dissevered and broken. Tbel"'l is no power, or eWort of power, which can exert 80 successful an e11'ort in reuniting these ties and bonds as the offices and intlulloceB of Masonry. We are not politicil~ns. Tbe_ political iBBull8 which have separated, and still in a measure separate, the North and South, we i,(oore. With th_, 8S Masoos, we have nothing to do. All we can see 88 our duty in tbis most inl.t'rll8ting crisis of our Cllmmon countr,)路 is the humanitarian duty of diftusing brotherly love, peace and harmony, and a restoration of our union to its formllr strenltth and integrity. It is our duty, by this means, to give strength whllre political iBBues weak~n the bonds. The offices of Mli80nry are fraught with harmony and ~ace ; political questions and their discUBBion harass the mind, create disoord, arouse animosities. It is our duty to pour in oil and wine to soothe th" I'1Ulkling beart-achll8 of a disappointed, a conquered and a submu.sive poople.路 If they have been in the fault, a re-opllntng of the wounds by retrospections will but keep alive the animositill8 and widen the breach which ~eparates us, thus deleating the great object, an aftectionate reunion, upon which alone can a political rllunion be SUOO&l8fUlll founded. To reestablish th,-se bonds of aftection rIlIlts with the order o' Freema80J.Iry, North and South; and if through this el4;lment tholY can not be reestablIshed, then is our confederacy forever broken, for the tendency of every other e11'ort is to fan the tires of discord between us. But, ~'ou ask, what.can Masonry do! It can, in the true spirit and ~enius of its origmal design and its sublime lessons, forgive the past where It sees a fault-it can in the superabundance of its charity sympathize with our unfortunate bretbrdn of the /South-it can mourn wit.h them over theIr dev1\8tated plantations, their razed mansions, and the smoking ruins of their cities and villages-it can drop the tear with them over their bloody battle llelds, and thol graves of their sires, their sons and their brethren, albeit they f"l1 in arms against the North. This last it is human to remember, but not to cherish is mawnic. To forget it is nOble, to forgive it is divine. Perhl\p8 if, in the pure spirit ot Masonry, we were to put ourselves under the 8I\me stringent rule of accusation and condemnation to which we subject othe1'll, we migllt in many respects, become supplicants lor forgiveness. Have we all 80 far sati~fted our OWIl cousciences. indIvidually, as to enable us to look up to the throne of God with contrdence and with bope of forgiveness, and sa~, .. Forgive us our trCSSPl\881l8 as we forgive those who trll8Pass against us." Theil let us not reprolheud too severely our brethren of the South. It will be remembered thllot they acted doubtllll!ll according to the convictions of their consciences, not our's, and that, although that action was in open opposition to our national government, they justlty thernselvll8, or attempt at least to do so, by the argument that it was their masonic duty to submit with patiencol to the government under which they lived, altllough that government W88 but a government de facto. The objoot in alluding to this subject at this time is simply to impress upon MllSOns their duty, in the broad. th4;l liberal and the charitl1ble exercise of tht! masonic virtues toward our brethren in the South, with a view of conciliating friendship, establi~hing harmony and contldence between U8, and thereby a perfect and complet" restoration of fraternal rollations, whieh mav lead in the end to a harmonious political reunion. The former of these are the elements of the latter. and without them the latter can never tl1ke place. It is to be regretted that the committee appointed on the Grand Muter's addreBB were not imbued with the feelings of the address itself; they should have left their political ideas at home, or else kept them out of the Grand 0.

Prescott, delivered his annual address. In reference to admission of maimed candidates, he cites a case put to Hm of a young man who bad lost a leg, yet the cunning workman in artificial legs had so skillfully supplied the missing one that a casual observer could scarcely notice it, and the Grand Master seemed at a loss exactly how to decide it, and it was referred to the Grand D. The committee reported that, in their opinion, it would be in violation of the landmarks to initiate bim, but being a strong case--that is, the candidate was the son of a member of the Grand 0, and they having doubts as to the correctness of Landmark No.9 it was referred to l\ special committee to report at naxt scssion. To our mind this case presents but one question, viz.: Can a candidate be initiated b)' proxy? If 80, bow "much proxy 1" If one leg by proxy, why not both 1 In short, if a man have nothing but brains left, and have not enough of physical force left to do wrong with, his actions will, at least, be moral, and brains of good qualitt, yet we protest against making Masons out of wooden men. The Grand Master launches into the multiplici~y of .. work" author3, and, alluding to Preston, Webb, Wilson, Barney, lIIorris, Pierson, and the whole catalogue of writers, he recommends them to stick to the bone and sinew of :Masonry, and not be trying to stuff out the body .. with pillows and sawdust till it shall look as slick and fat liS hypothetic alderman" He says: ..

The first quarterly communication was held Marcb 14,1866; M. W. Bro. Charles C. Dame, Grand Master, presiding. Business chielly of a local cbaracter. One important question was settled, viz.: the proper rank and position of permanent members of the Grand and as the report of the committee was the result of considerable research, and presen~, as we think, the proper reguilltion, we have thought it proper to present it to tbe Grand Cl entire, as a matter for present and future consideration : Ilf GBAND LonGlI, Dec. 13, 1866. The committee.to whom was referred the subject of lIxing and determining the place8 of offioe1'$ in the Grand 0, respectfullv report: That in general the stntions of Grand Officers are well defined and their proper places lh:ed by universal custom. In this Grl\nd 0 the stations of the Deputy Grand Master and Grand Chaplains have not been always the same. and the changes which have becn maae from time to time have not alwaye been satisfactory to the distinguished brethren respectively holding those offices It is well known thl\t, within the memory of many of those present, the Deputv Grand Master had his eeat upon the right of the Grand Master ilnd the Gr'LIId Chaplains upon the left. When our R. W. Bro. John T. Heard entered upon the duties of Grand Master and installed his Grand Officers, he placed th.. Deputy Grand Master upon his left and his immediate predecessor, the .J unior Past Grand Master, IIpon his right This distin~uished alld Il1arned brother had carefully studied the best authorities as to the ancieut masonic custom of Graud ee:i in regard to the stlltions of these Grand Officers. and had come to the firm conviction that the proper station of the Deputy Grand Master was upon the left of the Grand Master. The Constitutions of 17:!1, by the l:!th section of General ReJ!:ulations, use this lan~ul\ge: .. The Grand consists of, and is formed by, the Masters and Wardens ot' all the regular particular Cib upon Ncord, with the Grand Master at their head, and hiK Deputy 011 his left hand, alld the Grand Wardens in their proper plnces." The ()ollstitutions published by this Grand 0, and known by the name of the" Harris ()onstitutions," copies this section in its exnct language. It is sRid that this wns his proper and customary station in the early hi-tory of this Grllnd D. For many yeal'8 it was alllO customary to appoint a Inrge number of Grand Chaplains; from which it would appear that no fixed place III Grllnd 0 could be assigned to them all. The position of the Gralld Chaplain hHs not been uniformly in one place in the American Grllnd CEJ. In Penn'ylvania, one of the oldt'St and most cons"rvative of the Orand Cib. and where the llllcient forms, cerlllnonies and cus tOIllS ha\'e been preser\'ed with veneration, the station of the Gr.md ()hllplnin is immediately in frOllt of the Grand Master, upon a raised dllis a step or two below him. There is very great propriety in the official arrangement of the Grand East, as pre8cribed by Pllst Grand Master Heard, with the Deputy upon the left and the Junior Past Grand Master upon the right.. The presiding officer then has his immediate- predecll890r near, with whom to advise llnd consult in all m,\tto;rs relating to the discharge of his duties. In addition to this, the arrangement is perfect in system. The Grand Master sits in the ElIst; upon his right are the permanent members of the Grand 0, composed of the Past Grand and Deputy Grand Masters and Past Grllud Wardens, to sustain him by their counsel; and upon the left are the Depnty Grand and District Deputy Grllnd Masters, from all parts of the jurisdictiou, to aid, aesist and Bupport him.

tigate .. any private quarrel or nnimosity arisin;; between two brothers, and if possible to reconcile them," and providing "tDat if either shall continuo to harbor ullkind feelin~ after the other shall have made due and proper concessions, he shall be (icalt with as a majoritv of tho 0 thinks proper." It is true that brotherly love is one of the tenets of our profession, and we endeavor to teach it bv precept and example. But the Ois no inquisitorial court, to sit and declde upon the kind or unkind feelings of its membel'll toward each other. The interposition of friendly, brotherly advice to those membel'll who are at variance with each other is certainly to be encoura/1:ed, and it often produces the most happy results. But this can no' always be done by a committee, and little good could be expected if the committee went with the olive-branch in one hand and in the other the terrors and punishments which this section provides for, to one whose nature and symJlatliies are such that he CI\II not easily yield. Besides, the 0 is to jud~e and determine upon the condition and state of his feelings, and punish hIm for what they may decide he harbors in the inmost recesses of his heart. that secret alld sacred place into which God alone can look and concerning which he alone mn juil~e. It can be easily conceived that m'en among Masons one brother may rigfitfully bclieve that he is in no wise at fault if he do ,. harbor unkind feelings" toward his brother. Let his conscience judge him and not his fellow-men. The last scction of these By-Laws is couchel1 in the followinlt language: .. No member or visiting brother shall be admitted ill.to this 0 if lie be in the least degree intoxicated, or who is in the common p,ractice of usinlt intoxicating drink l\.q a beverage, or who is engaged in any Illegal traffic (if within our knowledge) or who does not sustain a good moral character." Your committee have alroody remarked u~n the rights and privileg~ of membel'll, and upon the way and mallner in WhICh a brother can be deprived of his membership. The whole subject matter of this section is opposed to the sl?irit of Masonry. Temperance is one of the cardinal principles of our institutIOn-temperance in eating, temperance in drinking, and temperance in the indulgence 01 all the human plLosions. Masonry sets tiP no standard of capacity liy which every brother is to be measured. What is temJlerance in one Dlay be intemperanf'e in another. It is said thnt this cardinal virtue, Temperance, was formerly represented by a virgin seated upon the back of a bridled lion, and holding in her hands the reins, a fit and appropriate emblem of this leading virtue, and from which much useful instruction may be gathered. It is worthy of consideration thnt, not many years since, the "practice of using intoxicating drinks liS a beverage" in our ~ was not only "common," but universal; a practice which wns "common" and general in all classes of the community. The times have changed, lind we have chana:ed with them. A reference in this section to B subject ,vhich in .this State has a political bearing deserves reprehension. The old constitution uses this strong langUllge: "No private piques or quarrels mllst be brought within the dool'll of the 0, far less any qunrrels about religion, or nations, or State policy;" and in a lat()r edition, "As political attilirs have occasioned discord among the nearest relations and most intimate friends, MaEons are enjoined never to speak of or discuss them in the D." The slime reasoninl; should exclude from the By-Laws any reference to political matters. The petitioners sh~'lld remember that there is a world-wide difference biltween the moral reform societies existiug in the community and a Masonic 0. Masonry is universal, and from its elevated Jlosition looks down upon the moral, political and religiollE dissensions which embroil mankind and embitter tbeir lives. She does not engKge in them. I:lbe closes her doors so securely that even the noise and tumult of these coutests can not be heard within the tyled seclusion of her Câ&#x201A;Ź:J. E,Âˇer.y community, every State, every nationality, has its peculiar politiclII dilt'crences. What is orthodox in one is very liJ(ely to be heterodox In another. What is criminal here may be free from crime, and even meritorious, in other lands. Mllsoory, therefore, stands aloof from all tbese dilferencea and attends exclusively to her .sacred calling.

And the division ofopinion is '10 nearly even that we caD not teU which side baa the preponderance. In New Y wit, 'Ohio &ad other juriadictiona, it ia held

102

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

[Oct.

that the prohibition extends only to the ftrllt degree, and that an Entered Apprentice or Fellow Craft. under such circumstances, is entitled to advancement. In other jurisdictions it is held that the prohibition extends to every dejtree. The Grand CJ of Louisiana came near revoking the charter of a Cl for advancing an Entered Apprentice who had been maimed. We confess that we are somewhat in a state of doubt oUlBelvell, even after reading the arguments on both sides. The old rule hu been relaxed, because the reason for it has ceased. Since we ceased to be an operatwe institution, the original reason for such a rule has ceased to exist. And, as we remarked last year, if there were nothing further, the rule might entirely cease to operate. But the system was adapted to that rule, and it must be observed 80 far as the system requires it; and the limit is found in the provision of (lur Constitution. The rule was, in term8, applied only to the fi"st degree. If the three de-grees were three different institutions, we shonld hold that the epirit of therule included them all. But inasmuch as in ancient times the body of thecraft were Entered Ap,prentices, and the other dpgrees were simply designed for those of greater skIll and knowledge. or for purposes of government, tbere was no need of applying the rule to them, and it was not so applied. But as a result of the change of the institution from an otnrati"e to a ape=l.ati"e character, the body of the Craft are Master Masons. But this changeinvolves no additional physical qualillcations which an Entered Apprentice must possess before he can be advanced. But this change and the result we have alluded to do involve a change in the character and pUl'JIOlle of the two higher dejtrees. Before the change an Entered Apprentice had a voice in the legislation of the craft; now that is transferred to Master Masons alone. And a candidate docs not now become fully what an EnteJ'ed Apprentice then Walt until he is a Master Mason. â&#x20AC;˘ It is conceded by all, that if a Master Mason beoome tnl\imed, he totes none of his rijthts as such. Whether he can conform to i'equirements or not, he is still a Mason, and entitled as such to all to which the moat perf~et of his brethren are entitled. He may, by his misfoJ'Luno, not be able to prove his rights when among strangen; Dut when proved, his rights are acknowledged. In the same manner, we sayan Entered Apprentice is a }fason, and though be mal' afterwards become maimed, he is entitled to all the rights of any EntereQ Apprentice. Under our present system, an Entered Apprentice 1& tnlitled to advancement. If he be maimed, he may, on account of his misfortune, not realize all the benellts be would if perfect; J>ut still he can realizeas manl. as ifhe had not become maimed till after he was advanced. Conslderin~, therefore, that a Mason, by becoming maimed, loses no rights, and that an Entered Apprentice or Fellow cran i$ a Mason, we think the doetrine, that the prohibition in letter and spirit is limited to being a Mason is correct. Let us now examine this question a little fJ'om an analytical stand-point, under the light given us by the spirit of our institution. We will submit a proposition. Masonry originally was operative. When operati"e it put Apprentices under that class who were not initiated, but who had to possess perfect physical capaciUes, for obvious reasons, and who, after serving their probation faithfully, were initiated into the mysteries, and called" Fellows of the Craft," from which our term "Fellow Cran" was derived. There was then but one degree, and the initiated of that deltl'eewere the members of the 0, and nono could be initiated or lDI\de members except those that were hale and sound as "man ought to be." This one degrlle 0 e.ontinued until about 1730 or 1740, when new lectures were prepared, and the one degree was subdivided into three degreEl8i each being

loa

-enllll'ged semewhat to suit the adopted leetur8L This alteration changed: (especially in our Muntry) the whole character of .. membenhip." Entered Apprentices ceased to be considered memben, fOl' the ~n that they had to take all three of the degrees in 0I'd8I' to acquire fully tha Ipirlt and. force of the original one de~ee, it having been IlC&ttered through them all. At 1Irst tbe membership, tbe controlling, warranted power, was centered in the one degree 0, anerwards it W&l centered in tbe Muters' degree as the culminating, cumulative power aDd obligatio. of aU the three degrees colllltined. From this V8l'y brief colllpr8llion of the facts in the histOl'y of CeJ we deduce this plain deduction, viz.: that whatever quatiftcation was nece&8&rYto acquire a membership in the OI'iginal one degree 0, is equally neces88l'y to &equire the same ('igllts in our CJ of three degt'ees. Upon any either bypothesis we must acknowledl{e that Appreatices oelecl; fM' all the degrees, and, per consequence, those whom. tbey ma, f1elect and initiate must "pass muster" with all the otbers; wher-eas the true f1tste of the case is, tbey do not elect anyone-the M&lter' Masons alone being members, alone do the voting, and are, per consequence, the judges ef whe shall be members or Master Masons. We bald that if a candidate p08tl8S8, during his pro~_ througb tbe degrees, all those mental, m()l'&l, masonic and pbysical quall6.cations which he P088888ed &I an initiate, he sbould be made a member; but as altman nature is impBl'fect, he is compelled to serve a pr0bationary term betweell. each degree, to see that he does and can malntaill those quallflcatiens wbich he poss888Bd in the 1Irst instance, at lerut &8 fully, if not greater'. ~ndidates

A rough Ashlar is brought to tbe bIlilding, just as is an Apprentice, to be tried, and, if found perfect aner tbe 6.rst preparation, to proceed with the completion of the same to a perfect AsbIlli' as a Fellow Craft; and if still found perfect and,true, then to be put into the hands of tbe Maswr Overseer alld placed as a mcmltor into tbe walls of the Temple. Would our Maine committee put into tbeir building a stone that discovered faliits aller the first dressing, 01' that, as a perfect Ashlar even, hid its ~rners knocked oft' and broken after lteing squared and numltered? We trow not. We can see no dift'erence wbatever between operative and speculative Masonry in tbe qualifications of candidates; for what the former demanded as workmen with tools the latter requires for tbe free exercise of limbs in the work of tbe rituals, as well as in ability to earn an laonest livelihood under all contingencies. The strangest feature in the arguments of all those who agree with our Maine committee is, that not one of thllm has been able to say what shall be tbe limit of maiming: whether of flngers, how many; of toes, how many; of legs, one or botb, or how much oft' of either; of arms, tbe same j of the head, whether oft' at the scalp only, or at the neck j of eyes, one or both-if of one only, whether it is a goo4 one or not; in short, we do not know but tbat tbeir

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI. NORTH CA.ROLINA..

Grand 0 met Dcccmber 3, 18GG; M. W. Bro. Edwin G. Reade, G. M•• One hundred and thirty-one C2J represented. The annulll address is a tine production, and reviews the masonic situlltion in a fa"orable Ii~ht in his State. He estimates the membership of North Cnrolina at 13,000, comprising one-eighth of the white adult male population of the State, and mor~ than an average of two C2J in each county. Harmony reigns throu~hout thc jurisdiction. He says: •. Our Order is professedly exclusive. Our rules forbid the admission of any except such as are worthy and well qualitled." He alludes to many young lind inexperienced men, who were admitted during the war, who sought our C2J as asylums for protection without a knowledge of our high principles of mor'tlity, but who, from the influences of the war, give great concern for their behavior. He recommends kindly counsel and instruction; and if ther will not reform, then to expel them from the fraternity The pcrpetlllLl chnr'lcter of our institution as comparcd to the ephcmeral orgnnizations of the da:', and the death of empires and governmen~, passcs in review. and he cnlls upon all to labor and mainblin this enduring character by living as .Mnsons. The lambskin has passed through the revolutioU8 of time, but remMins pure ar.d unst!\ined. The r~ports of D G. Lecturers show that they have labored diligently to establish and maintain uniform work. The Committee on By-Laws of C£:J reviewed critically each 0, and in this respect evinccd a spirit of duty too often neglected by some others. A r~solution was adopted ordering the painting of portraits of all Past Gl'l\nd ~I asters whose likenesses could be obtained. The committee appointed to investigate the charges preferred against Athol 0, No SJ, Hn1ifllx, N. 1:;., by St. John's 0, No.1, of 'Vilmin!!;ton, N. C., m'tde a full, anel, to us, a satisfactory report. The circumstances were briefly these: Thirteen citizens of North Carolina ran the blockade to Halifnx, and in three days the whole thirt~en. and others from the State, were put through the three degrees in Keith 0, NoJ. 65, and Athol 0, in Halifax, and one of the number was so drunk that he had to be helped through the degrees. Thcse men nwrely stopped in Halifax to load their vessel, and their induction into )Illsonry WIIS a direct violation of all masonic decency and jurisdiccomphlincd to tion, lind can not be too stronA"ly reprehended. St. John's Athol 0, and the reply WllS, "That they worked the Scotch Rite, aud could do as they plensed."

of no difference between the Scotch rite and the York rite, lave a small interlude between the first and second sections of the Master Mason's degree. It hu. beer. worked llY Cib in North Carolina, and for some years was quite oommon until the Grand U suppresoed it. These Ht'lifax Cib bad no riglJt to work the Scotcb rite. They belonged to the Grand CJ of England, and were excepted from the jurisdiction of the Grand D of Canada when sbe waB reoollllized by the Grand D of Enftland; and no descendant of the Grand D of England, nor anJ. D' under her jurisdiction, bas the ~lP:bt to use tbis Scotch rite, for the York nte hal always pronounced it to be a jun.f(U8 on the Master's degree. These Cib pOl8ibly might have meant the anCIent and accepted BOOttish rite, and were working under tbat; ifll(l, they are clandlll'tine Cib. which was expressly decided by all the Grand Cib in .America and England, and in the Louisi.......ffair some fears ago. The Grand D of North Carolina adopted a resolution remonstrating against tbil aution, ..nd ordered a copy lent to the Grand c:::J of England. We heartily indorse the action of North Carolina; for with them we declare that all Cib which do not emanate from the Grand Cib of .A. F. and .A. Masons of the world are elartdntine, and we diapute the right of any man or body of men to call theouelyes MII.on. by virtue of any degrees outside of the Master lIlUIOns' D. The Scotch Cib alluded to by the committee as having worked in North Carolina, were planted there by a set of traveling peddlers in degrees, who claimed their authority from one Stephen Morin and others, mere advell:turers, whOle headquarters were at that time in Charleston, S, C., and their Cib spread until the Grahd D of North Carolina squelched them out. The .me in Louisiana years ago; and the lOoner Freemasons will cut themeelves lOOIe from all rites cl..iming to be masonic,'and to exercise 'masonie oontrol over the three degrees of Ha.Jonry, outside of Grand Cib, the better it will be fOl' the peace of the fraternity. The Committee on D Records did their work well. They condemned the .. calling off" Pl'OCell, from which 80 much irregularity has arisen in Cib, and also the government of the D by theWorshipfl11 Kaster PrO tem., when not opened by one of the Wardens, who alone ahould preside in the absence of the Master. The report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence Ii carefully written, and we regret that our limited space will not permit a tuller review. In the conclusion, they draw the attenUon of their Grand D to the necel8ity of preserving the written reports of foreign jurisdictions, and establishing a library which will be of incalculable value in generations to come. On February 2 the Grand D was opened to perform 'the last sad rites over the remains of the Grand Secretary, the late R. W. Wm. T. BRin, who dIed February 1, 1867, at 8 o'clock .A. M., in the 74th year of his age. Suitable resolutions commelD.Ol'&tive of. the virtues of the deceased were pB88ed, and the Grand Master appointed the son and Uliatant of the late Grand Secretary, viz., R. W. Bro. Donald W. Baln, of Raleigh, as his sUcceIIOr.

Grand 0 met Jan. 16, 1867; M. W. William Silas Whitehead, Grand Maater, presiding. The annual address is practical and to the point. It reviews tbe situation in his jurisdiction, commends the good and oll'en su~gestions to correct erron. Relative to uniformity in masonic clothing. he says: As I cast my eyes over this large assembly, representing all the te:J in thill jurisdiction, toe varieties of masonic clothing presented to my view are &II numerous as the te:J represented. Aprons with square cornen and apronll with round cornen, white aprons and aprons whose whiteness is mllrred by printer's ink, aprons bound with blue and aprons not bound, aprons of cotton, of linen, of silk, of satin, of velvet, and alas! too rllrely, aprons of pure white lambskin jewels Ilendent from the collar and jewels pendent from the lappel of the coat, brond blue ribbons and nllrrow blue ribbons, white colifl" and blue coliaI'S, colllln with !!:orlreous fringe and coHan without gorg:eous frin~e, coHan of silk. of satin, of velvet, and no collnrs at all, coHan f!;litterinl? With tinsel embroidery, with tinsel rosettes alld with tinsel stars-aH combme to present 1\ view as variepted and brilliant as the changing combinations of 1\ kaleidoscope. By nothinl!: in nnture or art is the unmeaninl-\' glitter of the m!\80nic clothing oethe ollicers of oursubordinatete:J equaled, unless perhapll it be by the "purple and fine linen," the "sounding brus and tinkling cymbals It which adorn the persons of the grand officers. •• The•.., are wbo lord It o'er the.r Cellow-men By mO$t preVailing tinsel."

But it is not in accordance with the spirit and purpose of the Masonic Institution to attract the public gaze bv ostentntiO<ls pamde, or to develope the vanity and love of display by its nlembers. Masonic clothing WIIS intended for instruction and not for ullmenninjt displnv. The badge of a )lason is the plain, simple and unadorned Illmbskin or ,V'hite lellthel' npron; but we are taught that it is more ancient thnn the Order of the Golden Fieece, more honorahle than the mantle and badge of the Knights of the Guter. The emblem of a )I!Il!on's rank and dignit\' is not the gaudy collar upon his bre!ll!tit is tile jewel that hangs from the collar. The true sririt of M asollry is better evinced by a rigid and uniform simplicity than byal the outward pomp and circumstance with which we can invest it. He reported having granted no flispellB&tiOll for new te:J during the year. In referring to the growing evil of illcorpornting masonic Ci!J by act of legislature, be o1f"ers some pointed remarks, and, as it is one of the bciit we hllve read, we shall incorporate it for the benefit of our Missouri brethren: :My attention was attracted during the last session of the Le~slature of this State.to the numerous ~pliCl\tions to thllt body for the pllSSI\~e of ncts incorporntmg subordinste GD. Such applicntions lire made by the brethren undoubtedly with the best intentions, but without due reflection, llnll without realizing the legal il1f"ect and operation of such legoisll\tion. I Imve ll\tely given this subject sorr:e examination, and the conClusion to which I have arrived is, that the incorporation of mRsonic bodies is subversive of the true principles of masonic government, and inimiCllI to the prosperity and perpe-

AI my objectionl to sucb application. are p:enerally

ot a legal character. I must be pardoned if my remarks upon this subject may

amelllOlllewhat of the shop. When a CJ is inoorporated by an act of the Le!ti,latnre, it becomes a subject of tbe laws of the State, jlllrt as is an individual citizen, with ce\illin exceptions. It not only acquiMl tbe rip:ht to hold IUld conyev reallllltKte, and invat personll.l property in the 0 name, but it alaorender. it.elrtiable to be BUed in its corporl1.te cap&clty, and aubmfts ,IUlllf and ClOocerns to tbe supervision and control of the courts of law. By the rul.. of government of our institutioD, a brother who feels altlCrieved by tbe action of his 0 hu the rip:ht of appeal to thll Grand 0. If, however, he should he ft'actious, and Indis('?8ed to lubmlt himselflo the adjudicatlonoftbe Grand 0, be hal the power, If the :Lodge be IncorpOr..ted, to appeal difectty to the judicial tribunall.

None but a Master Mason can realize and appreciate the enormity of tbe oft'enl8 of slander of a Mason by his brother )[880D.' For ."ch violations of masonic duty and solemn obligations, subordinate Ci!:J claim the right of expelling the unwortby brother, and the GraDd 0, where the charge was sustained, wuuld not hesitate to confirm the action oflt!lQbordinate. In the 2d of Bin.Dey's Pennsylvatiia Re~rtI is found the report of a ClUe entitled... The Commonwealth VI. the President and Members of St. Patrick's Benevolent Society." By the act of inoorporation of this society it was l\uthorized to mllke rules and by-Iaw_, and, in punllaDee of mch authority, it enacted a by-law to the elfect th,d vilif~n& any of it! memben was a l.'l'ime against the society, and that the pen.It, for .lIch crime should be removal from office, fiDe or expulsion. William Duane, a member of the society, presented charg.. against JobD BiDnB, abo a member, charging him with falsely lAnd _ndously vilifying said Duane. Upon these charge., Binn. was regularly tried, and was fillllolly expelled. Be thereupon appealed ttl tbe Supreme Court to be restored to his standing in the society. The oourt, after ar/tllOient, by a unanimolll decision. restored him to his former position tU a member In gOod standing. The judge who pronounced the opiriion of the court Ipeaks tU follows: "There is a tacit oondltion annexed to the franoblll8 of a member, whicb If he break, he may be disfmnohised. The c&I8. in whioh this inherent power may be exercised are of three ki/ldl. .. 1 Where aD oft'eDle is committed which haa DO immediate relation to a member'1 corporate dllty, but il of 10 infamous a nature tU rendl'ln him unfit for the eoci~ty of honest men.

When the Oft'eDI8 is against his duty as a corporator. "3 The third is an otfense of a mixed nature against the member's duty tU a corporator, and also inrlic:tabk by the law. of tM land." In the OllSe of the Commonwealth VB. the l'llnnsylvania Benefiellli Institution," reported In 2 Sergeant &; Rawle. p"ge 140, a similar control was exercised by the court OVljr the membershIP ot a society.

U. doeInot allow his judgment to be influenced by the fact that the lIOciety of !'reetnAeOl)lI WI\I instituted for the purpose of f08terinlt virtue, morality and brotherly lov.. He neither. knows nor ceres anything about the immutable character of Ancient Landmarks. He sees beforellim II. citizen.who hM acquired certain rights in an incorporate4 company, which rij{hts the law is bouna to proteCt; aDd for the JlUrpose of ~rtllininp: and protecting these rightll, he bl'lngll to bear upon the cese the same rull!8 of law which he would aJlply in the case of a stoek· holder in a bank or an insurallce company. It is phlin that the IIpplk-ation of such rull!8 is suhve1'l!ive of the structure of masonic ~overllmenL It sweeps aWIIY theappelh"te jurisdiction of the Grand CJ and the Grlmd MlI8ter, and subordinates the mllllOnic to the civil authorities upon questions strictly mS80nic. There.are man" other objections of a similar charncter to the incorpo1'lltion of subordinate eE!J to whieh I might call your attention did time permit. I thiilk, however, that I have s"id enough to utisfy the Gl'lmd 0 that the prllctice is fraught with great danger, and shonld be dillCOuntenllnced.

In such cese, while courts would have (,'Ontrol over the body which might be chllrtered, they would have no contrul over or right of int"rference with the alflliN of the CJ itaelf. With his decision we agree, and u·two oftbem cover points often 1'IIised, but not generlllly answered, we give them: It i~ not necessl\rv. in ord..r to complete his membel'\ihip in a 0, that tbe candidate should si~n tbe Bv-Laws. As soon as he is rIIised to the sublime dt:~ree of l\ Master ~lallOn b.;becomes, ipso facto, a member of the CJ to which he hilS presented his petition. Tb... Worshipful ~bstcr has the right to place either of his Wardens, or a brother from the floor, in the EWit, and permit him to confer either of the degrees. In a~dition to the first, we think a C3 may make it the duty of a newly. raised brother to sign the By~Laws, while we do not think it is a condition precedent to mem bCl'8hip: nor can he ·claim exemption from obedience to By· Laws because he has not si~ned thim. In the second decision, we will alao·add, that it should be distinctly nnderstood tha~ whoever the Mllster may call upon to do work, does not thereby &Ill!ume control of the gavel, but is simply in the sense of a .. journe)·man."

The annual address wa, lengtby, ~ving a full review of official and arduous duties performed during the year, and submitting decisions rendered upon local issues arising during the term. It is masonic and courteous in tone, and is a good business paper. The report of the Gralld Treasurer showed reccipts of $65,238 05, and and expenditures of $61,21)9 91, lCl\vin~ a billance on hand of $3,968 14. The Tru~tees of the Hall and Asylum Fund for the aged and infirm, tbe widow and orphan, reportcd receipt.., of $!lii,2!l!l 3t, and total nsscts of $204,552 18, which is much less than present valuation of r( al estate and bonds. The masonic faif realized nearly $51,000 for the above fun'l. The Grand 0 recognized the Grllntl [€J of Nova Scotia and )Iont!lna. The Committee on Jurisprudence recognized the riA'ht of the Grand }laster to make Masons "at sight," but deprecated its too free use; they also reiterated the decisions of their Grand 0 a~ainst all sectarian services in Masonry. The report of the Grand Secretary is a voluminous and valuable paper, and the published proceedin~s evince great care and labor. The report on Foreign Correspondence was rendcred chiefl.v b~' Bro. John L. Lewi~, P. G. }I., aSEist'ld by Bro. Joh W. Simons, P. G. ;\L, and Bro. M. Pinner. It comprises one hundrc(l pages of clo,cly printc,] matter, including European r~port, from which we will extract, as ll\st yenr, in connection with our own review. The report opens with all explllnntion fr01ll the chllirman for the delay of last year, and it should ccrtaiuly be satisfl\etory to all good Masons-viz., severe domestic affliction. Writing l\ fllithful report on l<'orcign Correspondence and reviewing about fifteen thousand pages of printed mntter is not quite "as easy as it looks," and is not the kind of work for any man whose mind is oppressed with troubles of a serious nature. It may he turned out, like some cll.ndidntcs arc put throu~h aD, "in a lump," but it may and should require much labor and time, if honestly performed.

It was these impressions of dllty that oompelled Bro. Lewis to delay bislabor of 1866, and whieh only came to hand on the eve of the report of 1867. Both were master·pieces of thought and research, but that of 1867 will of necessity command our attention at this time. Be reviews the proceedinp of thirty-seven American and seventeen foreign Grand Bodies. Bro. Rheas, of California, argued that an installed officer could resign, and. as we have already combatted that idea in another place, we shall quote trom Bro. Lewis, endorsing his news fully. Be says: This sounds a little strange, coming ftoom one so COD!61'VlItive as Bro. Rbeel, and. with great deference, we think that he haa taken but a partial view of the reaSODS wily such a rule should exist. We are taught early in Masonry b01f soon the Craft are in confusion for want of a responllible head, who can lay out the proper designs upon the trestle-board. The Haster ill DOt only the overseer of the work, but is the connecting link between the workman and the Grand Master builder, whose WlU'r&nt be holdlly and of whieh he i. the sole custodian, lind acts aa their agent and representative. If he may resign, then the Wardens who succeed liim in office may resign also, and the Craft be at once in confusion. If it be answered that this is not likely to occur, our reply is, that the rule ill safest which provides that it llball never take place. We, on the other hand, agree with Bro. Rh_ that a maimed Entered Apprentice Cl\n not be advanced, while Bro. Lew holds tbe contrary: Itllt OUl' views will be found fully expreesed under the head of Maine. New York places the whole stress of its argument upon the basis tbatan Entered Apprentice is a Mason, and that the second and tbiJd degreee He merely conferred upon the .. Mason" as rewarde for hi.. skill and diligence. Bro. Lewia will pardon us if we kindly venture the opinion that there is. little sophistry in all this. We say, also, that an Entered A.ppren\ice is • Mason-i. he is an Entered Apprentice Mason ; he is a IDl\IIOIIic embryo, but to call him a Malon in the full and complete sense by which American Cfb understand that term, is to call .. baby a man, limply becauae it is .. human heinl/;. An Entered Apprentice is a masonic student; he has jusfbegun his masonic curriculum, and to say that he is a MIlSOn in any other sense than u a neophyte or probationer seeking light, or that he is per consequence entitled to all future rights, beneftts and advancements, irrespeotive of qUlllillcatioDlly moral or physical, is simply to 8AY that a student in the freshman class cali not be kept back, and that he is entitled to hill diploma as a .graduate, it he demand it. The very term, ..apprentice," dell.nes· itB-elf: he is 'a ka,.,."..... beginner learning the UI8 of toolll, &c., and to 1Jl4ol1 him a .. workman" in the full sense of the word is a libel upon the craft. The ·whole trouble arises ftoom the fact that masonic writers seem· unable 10 d....w the distinction between the onlHlegree 0 of antiquity and the tJiree. degree 0 of toooday. Anciently, the simple act of initiation made .. man • " Mason," for that initiation completed the work and endowed the initiate with all the rights Rnd powers of a .. Fellow of the C....ft; .. but when the work wu remodeled to agree with the .. Solomon" or .. Temple System," in which il takee three degrees to make a man a Mason, it HOms utterly impouible for ua

".e hold that there are three ~rlldes of mawnic life: in childhoo,I, llS Entered Apprentices; in youth, llS Fellow Crafts; and in perfect manhood, as Ma.ter )11\50ns; and when the little boy can be clllled ft mlln because he possesses the organisms of a man, then can 1\1\ A pprentiee be called a" )Jllson " without the prefix" E.

An individual was initillted, passed and rai"ed, not many years ago, in a 0 within 1\ jurisdiction where we (l1'e aC'l'Ulillted. &areely had he I\ssumed the perpcllllieuhlT when he WllS diseo\,. red to be the" brightest" Mason among them, which WllS pos"ihle in thrrt 0 without his lenrning producing disel\se of the hrnin.

The arguments ot Bro.

We quote his defense of the D. D. Grand ~lnster system in N cw York in reply to Illdiotna, llS we lllwe some in our own State who do not approve of the system.

before the Grand D. We have rarelv known an instance where their dccisions have been re\"ersed or even mc)difled. And t1lUS the sYstem works with us and is maintained, not from any" power of self-I'reservi;tion " which thcse officers posseSll, althou~h thcir hi.~h mllsonic standing and charucter should be inlluential, but simply from the benefits derived from thcir labors.

It will be observed that the New York and Missouri systems are alike, except that our D. D. Grand Masters I\re compelled to act as assistant Grand Lecturers also, and in this we think the New York practice the best, as the lecturing business is principally" on paper." We would infinitely prefer having a regularly paid Grand Lecturer, who will fill that office and do nothing else, leaving the D. D. Grand Masters to fill their cxecutive and judicial duties only. Pllst Grand Master Guilbert, of Iowa, comes in lor the following criticism: Now, we find no fuult with the subject-matter of Bro. Guilbert. He is evi路 dently a man of ideas; but I\S a matter of taste l\nd convenience, we prefer that on this westel"ll cont.itHlllt, where the En~ligh language is the predominating speech, he should writc in En~lish A 'little Fre'nch' und German, with a smattering- of Indiun dinlect, lllll{ht be tolerattld for the benefit of those who understl\.nd those tongues; but we I,rotcst Il~l\inst the Ambic and Chinese, as too far-ftltched For instance, we have a glowing culogy upon the science of the Cmft, und thc bencfits and importnnce of its study, both c.otc'ric and ritualistic; but it is 80 lackered O\'er and bedizlwned with words and prof"ssionnl terms that it smells painfully of the dictionary and dru~ shop, although gnrhmded with the flOIver~ of poes\', enlled mi~cellaneously from Ed~ar A. Poe and the h\路mn-book. Again: Bro. Guilhert has certnin positive pobtical ideas, which he" ought to have and hus a ri~ht to have, but whieh be thrusts forwar,1 in his masonic address so prominently us to become not only distasteful, but offensive. 'Ve have said thllt he has 11 rightto ha\'e these, and we should think less of any mlln if he hlld 1'0 posith-o eonvictions upon those topics thataro connected with thc business ofhtt!, but he hilS no right to obtrude them on othcrs. A man ml\y bclieve, l\nd we will respect his convictions, that our race hus progressed in the lapsc of a~es from tho atomic infusoria of u rnin drop throu~h the tlliled tadpole, tnilless frog llnd ring-tailed npe up to thinking humnuity, with no caudul appcndl\/{e; but we insist that he shnll llOt, in every casunl cncoullter, fling these tniled or no-tailed links in this l\nimuted chain in our fnces. And when we meet with a dissertlltion upon some remote or foreign topic in a masonic p'\per. we not only dispute the judltment, but also demo the right of the writer to impress it !tltO such scrdee. We mal' do Bro. GUIlbert wrong, and if so, we ask his for~iv~ncss, but we think there is somewhat of ntfcetation in his m.... nerism, for \ve know that he can write ill a plain and intelligiblc stj'lc when he wishes. After this we think Bro. Guilbert will conclude thlit thc Missouri committee used very .. gcntle hands" in jerking at his stilts I..st .renr; and as he is I~ .. m~n of pnrts," we feol assured that the criticisms of his contemporarics will do him much good. The review of Missouri is fraternal indeed, l\nd we apprcciate tho candor of the compliments given. Of the death of Bro.

The aDnual addrll8ll is an excellent paper, and from it we extract, and endorse, the following: Every science proceeds upon the supposition or the existence ofa Universal Cause, who has created all things arid established the relations which they sustain. Freem 'sollry not only assumes this, but openl1l declares it to be a fundlimental truth, lLnd requirejl every candidate for its m;)"steries to declare. In the most solemn manner, hie Ilrm belief in the eltistenc" and perfections of Deity. No other religious ted can be requirod, but this must be rigidly exact..d. From this solemn reco!tIIltion of the Supreme Arcbitect of the Universe necessarily flows a duty wbkb is enjoined upon every member of the Craftnever to mention His name except with that reverential awe which is due from a creaturs to his creator. To him who is wi~ling deUberately to assent to the trutb of the Divine existence, FreemllSonry proclaims the doctrine of univend tolerAtion, and, in order to secure the obServance of it, carefiUly excludes the discussion of reli~ious topics from ber aseemblies. The universality of her great scheme embraces the benet'olent and good wherevElT they arel found, but she only obliges them to •. that religion in which all men agree, leaving their partie\)lar opinions to themselves; that is, to be good men and true. or men uf hOllOl'

and honestY', by whatever denominations or persuasions they may be distinguished." She thus becomes the centre of union and the means of conciliating true friendship among those whom theological differelfces might have keJlt at a perpetual distance. Freemasonry not only teaches the existenc.e of a Divine :Moral Ruler of the Universe, and enjoins the duty of reverence to him, but recognizes the varioul relatiolls which he has established, and the duties which those relations impose. Soci..ty is the natural state of man. For the preservation of its lIesce and harmony, government is necessary. and is, therefore, an c;rdinance of God. The report on :i!'oreign Correspondence was submitted by Bro. William:M. Cunningham, and gives a faithful review of the state of affairs in a masonic spirit. We are glad to see that the committee endorses our sentiments relative to the jurisdictional Msumptions of the District of Columbia, and the Grand o adopted a resolution putting her own citizens on their guard about taking their degrees in Washington City. Washington may be the political capital of the country, as it is the seat of political corruption, but that she is the masonic centre of America, and may do as she pleases with citizens from all the States in her Câ&#x201A;ŹJ, is a declaration of power that sovereign Grand Ci'tJ are not going to tolerate, and the sooner they take in that" degree sign," and acknowledge that they are but one Grand 0, and a small one at that, among her sisters, the sooner will they extend that confidential shake of the hand so dear among masonic jurisdictions. We approve of the report as a whole relative to the Grand Ci'tJ, but must take exceptions to the propriety of introduoing a review of the Grand Bodies and of rites of which Grand Ci'tJ are presumed to know nothing masonically. The report may be interesting to a few, but not to the fraternity at larlte, and we can not approve of identif.ying Grand Ci'tJ with other Grand Bodies in oftlcinl reports. If ..... e can review their actions, they can review ours, and that right we deny. Most of the business transacted was of a local character, and appears to have been well attended to. We find no resume of Ci'tJ or work. We would be delighted to have just one report of how the fraternity stand in Ohio-how many Câ&#x201A;ŹJ. how many members, how much work done; and the same may apply to some of our other sisters.

In .lIuch _ it iJ. im~ible to obtain dimite,. and as tbe law does not and can not requite imJX.!8Mbilitiee, I have advised that the 0 to whom application is made for dilation or advanooment may lawfully dispense with the produmOD of the diillit. and, on the l)enOn applying J>l'.Oving his statue by .. due tri"l and strict examination," the C1mlibtpiooeed to ballot for hi8 aftlli61.ion or advanceaent. But in caeee where the leeeona of Masonry had been 80 badly taught, ~ 10 canl"y received, that they had ~e DO imprell8ion, then· I conceive (there being JIG evidence, erleJ:nal or internal, of masonic character and ltandlDg) tliat the petitioner Iboulcl be treated as a profane, making ·applic.tiOD for iirltiatiOll. The a~ve presents a ditllcult question, but W8' do not agree with· the mann6r of 8ettlement adopted by our able brother. We can not agree to waive the demand Cor, and neceeeity of, fumiehing a dimit before dlliation. To vote upon a man merely llecauee he has pMBed due trial and strict examination, without any documentary evidence, is opening the door 80 wide that 80ch a crowd will pr888 upon it as to preclude the poeeibility of ever 'hutting it again. Just rellect one moment upon the result of an order by this Grand 0, tb"t all Huona1fho can not llnd dimita may entezo our Cib ulKln simple examination alooe.

The more we see and •·....d of these military Masone, the more are ·we Contlrmed in the 8Oundn888 of our M"lI8Ouri position, announced in 1866, viz. : that they are not Masons at all, and 8hould be tl'eated as clandestine, and only received a8 profanes.

He.milton was received and read, and we find it to be prepared with care, e.nd eontaining deCillions that e.ccord with our Missouri teachings. Weare pleased to see that he adhered strictly to the landmark relative to excluding men who had lost hands or feet. The able committee to whom was referred the preparation of the "Masonic Text Book," for the use of that jurisdiction, rendered a report, and we have received a copy of the book and find it to be the result of calm and impartial eonsideration, and well worthy of the Grand ':J of Tennessee. It is just such a work as every Grand 0 should get up for itself, and in this parLicular Virginia and Tennessee have set us a good example. The committee on Jurispl'udence rendered a long report, deciding upon many points, many of which we agree with, while with others we ~an not; each State must settle these things for itself. We will not consume time with a discussion here. The following questi~ being often asked, we copy them as expressive of our own views:

Ques.-Is a brother who has committed suicide entitled to Masonic burial? Ans.-A worthy brother, so unfortunate as to be bereft of reason, committing suicide, is clearly entitled to the honoJ'll of burial. Re8olf)~d, Thllt a belief in the existence of a Supreme Being, and a future state of rewards and punishments, is an essential qualification to become a Mason. Ans.-A belief in the existence of a God, and our accountability to Him as the author of our being, is necessary to become a Mason. The latter answer is a reply to a resolution of a 0, and the committee corrected it. The following conclusion of the committee we also heartily endorse: The numerous resolutions of' inquiry, touching the disabilitieit sufficient to debar applicants from the degrees of Masonr:f, F.q,uire some notice at OUI." hands; and we do not fail to discover a great wanl ot information upon a subject so easily attained by an examirllltioll of the manuals, magB7..illei. edicts and proceedings of the Grand O. Besides the information derivable from these sources, the good sense Ilnd BOund diseretion of every brothel', with hi& kno\Vled~(l of the active and practical duties of memben! of our Order - the obligations a~sumed on the one hand and impo.ed on the other, requiring every applicant to be BOund, not only in milld, but in body-seems to be so plain that to err is impossible. Disabilities, however alight, if they incapaci~ tate the applicant from making a living, receivin~ or impartinjt the ritual or Mllsollry, Ilre sufficient. Nor does the question turn upon the fact, stated in BOme of the inquiries, that the applicant bas a competenc,Y. The te&(.-hings or the pWlt-the s&d lessons learned by but too many who flllt the same security against want-hll.ve failed to demollStrate to BOrne of our brethren the uncertain tenure by which fortunes are held in times of severe trial.

While we freely admit the entire supremacy of the Gtand CI of the District of Columbia,over its own r~ident populatioD, we 1.1 emphatically deny the riltht of it, or any oth&" nraDd CI, to make Masons of citizens of Tennesil88 temporarily lojourning withiil its juriadiction. The practice is a'proliflc source of evil. The Grand MaSter remarks, .. What matters it to any 0, \vhere [a profane] receives the d~ees, untu8 tlle inereau of tlle CI fu.ntU i8 of paramount coniideration ,,, We may be permitted to lay, with aU due aeference to our distinltuished brother, that. -CE:J under tbe jUrisdiction of the Grand CI of the District of Coltlmbia are fully U likely to be iDlI.uenced by motives of this chano~r as the l:itJ in whose 'ricinit)' luch applican~ may reside. In our eXpo'rience, we have found all Gb to be inluenced, more or 1888, by the same motives-at best their members are onl:v lIuman beinltBo and 81abject to like frailties. Btlt is it l'o!asonable to luppose that tel at a dIltance can have u full a knowledge of the ant"cedents and moral worthin888 of the applicant u the one within whose jurisdiction be hAll perha.P.' lived all his life. And why this anxious desire to make Masons of tlie residents of other jurisdictions, "unl888 tb.e increase of CI fundi is of paramount consideration f' SurelJ'. if the applicants are worthy, they can be as well made and as duly qualill.ed by their home l:itJ as by one within even the Ihadow of the Federal Capitol. The whole report il one of the beet we have read, and we regret that time and space will not permit more extended extracts. The whole report breathel the sound principles of cosmopolitan and conservative Freemasonry, and we are not surprised that the authorwaa a favorite of our lamented predecessor.

A very lI.ne addr8ll8 wu delivered before the Grana CI by Bro. P. G. Stives, who had evidently gone down deep into the historical foundations of our Ol'der. It is ene of that character ot orations which must be given entire to do it justice. and we congratulate the Grand CI of Tenn888ee in having found so able an exponent oCthe principles and history of Masonry.

to complain or surrender; she is bound to rise, Phtl!nix-Iike, from the ashes of destruction around her, and her history and fame will be none the less abridl'ed or tarnished. We admire her heroism in endeavoring, under every difficulty, to battle for and defend her masonic rights and ancient jurisdiction: and while the unlawful seizure of so much of her territory has been recognizcd as right by so many of our sister jurisdictions, under whM we believe to be false logic, still her voice is heard appealing for justice, aDd we look upon It I\S one of the justifiable prides of our Grand 0 that, in the whirlwind of new ideas and specious pretexts which is sweeping down the barriers of ancient rights and principles, Missouri, almost single-haDded and alone, has uttered her solemn protest against the or~anization of the Grand i:J of West Virginia, for reasons more fully e'Cplained under that head. If there be anyone thing that lends a halo of glory to the name of "Courage." it is when its impulses are directed for the vindication of truth: and when its banner is thus unfurled it is never surrendered to the command of .. Policy." However men may ditrer about the political course of Virginia it matter~ nothinl', but as :Masons we can have but one sentiment, that of admiration for the calm, sound and conservath'e position of her Grand o.

The report on Foreign tJorrespondence was rendered bva filII committee, consisting of Ilros. J. P. Little, Jno. Dove, Wm. B. ISllllcs, Wm. L. Maule and T. P. August-although, as usual in such esses, we presume the report was made out by ODA or two of the brethren named. The report is very complimentary to that of our's of last J'ear. and we ask no higher reward than the vcry fraternal recognition of our humble efforts in the cause of genuine Freemasonry. The conclusion of the report bresthes such a pure air of masonic truths that we incorporate it herewith. It says: Masonry, as we havp. learne<t its precepts. is educated morality. founded upon the Word of God, and is, tberefore, practical religion. And yet Masonry is not itself religion. lIor do we arro~ate for it that it should tllke the place of rcli~ion; for, however :;cood and true its precepts and its tcachin:;cs arehowcver sublime and beautiful its degrees and its ceremonies-it can not atone for a single sin or save oue soul fro'm perdition. This IS not its office. It constitutes, however, a Universal Brotherhood. and consists of one family, howenr widely its .members may be sepnrnted by time, by lan~uage. by distance or geogl'aplncal position.

To every government, save that of Maeor.ry, and to each and all alike, we are foreij!'ners; and this form of government is neither p<lntiftcal, autocratic, monllrcbical, republican, democratic nor despotic: it is a jtovernment per ,e, and that government is mt\IIOnic.

The report on Foreign Correspondence, by Bro. T. !t. Reed (now Grand Master), is an able paper, and reviews the whole difficulty that existe between his own Grand 0 and that of Oregon; and, in order to afford the members of this Grand Body an opportunity to fully understand the question, we will reproduce the report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence from Connecticut, with which report we entirely concur, and endorse. It is I I follows: The Gl'l'nd 0 of Washington was established by Retion of the Subordinate

te::J, in existent'.e in Washington Territory in the year 1858, and claimed and

exercised undisputed junsdiction over tbe entire extent of that Territory. On the 2d of March, 18lla, the Congress of thll United States organized a territorial government for tbe Territory of Idaho, and in defining the limite of said new territory, included within those limits a_JlOrtion of the Territory of Washin~n, thus changing the boundaries of Washington and ·reducing its area. The territory thus taken from Wl\8hington Territory WllS known l\8 the Boise Diatrict, within which there existed two Subordinate C£!J - one chartered and one U. D. - owing and rendering allegiance to the Gl'l'nd 0 of Washington; the residence of the Grand Master was also in this portion of the Territory. Early in the year 1864 the Grand Master of Orel!:on granted a dis~nsation to a number of brethren residing in the Boise District, empowering them to orll:anize a new LJ, to be CRlled Idaho 0, upon the recommendation of WasooL:J, No. 16, located in the State of Oregon. in di!regard of the 801emn protest of the Grand Muter of Washinlrton, made in advllDce of his action, and notwithstanding that Walla-walla d and Lewiston 0 (the latter U. D.), subordinates of the Grllnd 0 of Washington, were located nearer to tbe place where the new 0 was established than was Wuco 0, upon whose recommendation the disr.ensation was granted. The Grand 0 of Oregon, at its subsequent Annual Uonimunication, approved the act of its Grand Master and chartered the D. The position taken by the Grand 0 of Oregon is, that the act of Congre!s which established the Territory of Idaho, by chl\nging the boundaries of the Territory of Washington, of necetlsity changtnlt the bound. ary of the Graud 0 of Washington, and that tl:e Boise District; thus cut oft' from ite political connection with Washington Territory, thereby becama common maeonic territory, occupied exclusively by no Grand 0, but in which any Grand Master or Grllnd 0 mil/;bt, with perfect propriety, establish new t:£J, until such time as a Grand 0 of Idaho should be established by the t:£J of tbat Territory. The Grlllld 0 of Washington, on the other hllnd takes the ground (which seems to us to be the correct one) that a Grand once in lllgal and undisputed p0989ssioll of supreme jurisdiction, and not resigninl/; the same, can never be del2!:ived thereof, except by the formation of a new Grand 0 b;V the subordinate ~ l~ted in the Territory, and that the actl olthe Grand Master and of the Grand c.J of Orelt0n were Invasions of the jurisdiction and infringements of the rights of the Grand 0 of Washington. We hold that no point is better settled than that where the area of jurisdiction of a Grand 0 is once defined, said Grllnd 0 aC<Juires sole, supreme and 80vereign masonio jurisdiction within such limits until }Iroper steps are taken whereby such jurisd"iction is lost by one bOO:r to be acqUIred or succeeded by a newly.establisbed Grand 0, and that no Uongressional aotion can change or diminish the jurisdiction of a Grand D. AI an illustration of our views, we hold that the act of CongI'el!s establishing the State ot West Virginia Will totally without eft'eet upon the franchise or jurisdiction of the Grand 0 of Virginia, and that during theleriod oftimll which elapsed after the establishment of said new State, Iln prior to the organization of the Grand 0 of 'West Virginia. the Grand 0 of Virginia retained sole, supreme nnd !overei~n jurisdiction within hEr original limits, and the Grand Master of Connecticut or New York had no more right to grant a dispensation for a 0 in· Wheeling than for one in Richmond or

For ourselves, we deny as lluons .that any civil'government on earth.has the right to divide or curtail masonio jurisdiction when once established. It can only be, done by OOl1lpetent maaonic authority and in accordance witb muonio IlMge.The 00l1#8li of the United State. migh~'divide the Slate of JIissouri.into forty States and territories, but that does not divide the juri&diction of Qie Grand 0 of MiiIouri over her original territorial limit, any more than it could wipe out the Grand 0 of' ·K;,nsasby annexing tbai State to lIisIouri. It is the same posiUon we beld· in the· West Virginia caae, and whiob we hold to-day; and we hold that the original territorial limita of Washington Territory are intact by any political legi81ation, unlll88 the 8ubordinate CEb in the divided territory should see proper to set up for themielveB an independent Grand Cl. by virtue of masonio usage; and we aleo hold that ifa majority of the subordinates of lda'ho set up 1\ Grand 0, they can Dot compel the minority to join them. The minority may still adhere to their mother Grand' a , if they l8e proper, although it is not generally good policy to do 80.

A large amount of local bUJin8llll 'l'l:as b1t,n.eacted. We ftDd the folJowinjt oft"ered and printed, to be considered at next communication: RQOlfied. That all Entered A.pprentices and Fellow Crafts who 8hall neglect or refuse to advance for the term of two years or more, may, at the discretion of the 0, by a two-thin ,vote, be dropped or struck from the record of members of such subordinate D.

This resolution may, or may not, be adopted. We think the latter more probable. We look upon the principle involved all a bad one. In the first place every candidate for every degrea dedares he come. forwari of his own free will, which would be a falsehood, ifhe were compellAC1 to ~vance by the prell8ure of a law. In the next place, it i& contrary to tbeAret principles of Masanry to use any persuasion, j!;ootle or ,forcible, to increase its membership, either b) initiation or maatenhip, and Master MllPone made ol1t of such mateHal contemplated by the reeoluLlon would not be worth the labor bestowl\ti upon them. Again: we'can find nothing in the Conetitution or proceedinp of Ule Grand 0 of WiecoDBin which recognizes Entered Apprentices or Fellow Crafb as ~mbers of the 0, and we can not, therefore, see how they can be " dropped," &eWe have a substitute to aft'er for the above resolution, to-wit: That 60 per cent. of the aggregate f~ of the three degree. be made the fee for initiation, and the remaining' 40 per cent. divided between the PlWing and miaing;, and that each Worshiptul Master shall initiate a candidate as though he and the degree had lOVe. in them; and that, after the initiation is over, a 'competent brother shall take the initiate in charge and perfectly teach him his lecture, for a speedy examination arid election toward advancement. If this do nat remedy the evil, then the longer such materialstaJ'll'out of the C£b the better for it and the fraternity. The report on Foreign Correspondence was rendered by Bro. Wm. B. Norris, 'Jr. Tho report opl!ns with a manly and noble masonic' sentiment; it comes from a heart that proves its pul8atione to be far above the miserable faatlolll of the hour. He says: We have to admit that ~hroughout the late war we regarded with much bitternese of feeling the sup,Posed conduct and motives of Southern Mason.. ,Recent readings have conYlDced us of our mistake and injustice; for it certainlyappears, from all our late information, that the exceptional deviations from masonic silence and' masouic charity bave been a9 rare at the South as at the North. With no ahadow of sympathy or patience with eec6ll8ion, 118 a citizen, we ha.ve yet lately learned, as a Mason, to forbear harsh judgment of our IOIlthern brethren; and for the two-fold reason, that we learned to believe that they sincerely thought themselves right, as well as that, as MlI8ona,. they did, in unnumbered Instances, eminentfy exemplify those cardinal virtu. which are the chief glory of OUf broiherhood." The whole repor£ breathes a sincere fraternity, and evinoes a clear appreciation of the laborious duty in furnishing a full review of Grand CEb, our's or 1866 inoluded. It publishes much of the report of our committee upon tbe death of our late Bro. O·Sullivan.

We have the proceedings of this Grand 0 in one volume for 1865-66-67. In 1865 Fairmonnt 0, No.9, invited the other Cib in W est Vir~inia to unite and form a Grand 0 for that State. On the 12th of April following the convention met, with eight Cib represented. They formed a Grllnd 0 and elected Grand officers. On the 11th of May following the convention assembled and opened a 0 in the third degree, and an add. cl'S was delivered by Bro. ~#ilIiam B. Thrall, P. G. M., of Ohio. There is very little in the address worth quoting, none of it applicable to the occasion, being almost entirely political, and just the sort of a speech to aroWle his hearers to a spirit of secession from their mother Orand O. After which he installed the officers elect, when the convention w&s declared dissolved. On the same day the first communication oBhe Grand 0 W~ held, M. W. Bro. William J. Blltes, G. M., presiding. Nine ~ represented out of about thirty in the State. The address of the Grand Ml\Ster was an excellel1t one, eschewing all exciting topics, and presented a calm review of the circumstances by which they were brought together as a Grand 0; and this question brings us unwillin/1;ly to a criticism and disagreement with the position assumed by our able brother. In preface to what we shall say, we will briefiy state the case. During the war the citizens of the western counties of Virginia disagreed politically with those east of the mountains, and not being willing for the time bein~ to be governed by the State government at Richmond, they petitioned Congress, during tlle excitement of national affllirs. to form them into a separate State. The petition was approved and the new State of West Virginia was launched into existence, and the issue is yet an open one before the highest tribunal of the country. We do not think, however, that this should have any bearing upon the questioll before us. In 1864 the policy of forming a separate Grand 0 was mooted on account of the difficulties in communicating with the Grand 0 of Virginia. In 1865 it was perfected, III1l already stated. The representation of qn out of the whole number was very small. We have no evidence that there was anything like hearty eotlperation even of .. majority of the~. But few, if any of them, had made returns or paid dues to their Grand 0 since ]860. Throwing all these considerations aside as merely collateral, we enter upon the issue, in the language of Grand Master Bates bimseH, to-wit. : It wonld not be proper in this place, however, to enter into a discussion

Vi1'!Pnia was created. Nor. indeed, if propel', would it be neceseary, since with that proceeding we, as Masons, have nothing whatever to do; and, therefore, it can not in any manner aft"ect tho legality of this Grand D. This' is the true issue. As MlUon.t they had nt>thing whatev" to do with tbe question of State lines, nor whether Congress legally or illegally cut Virginia up into two or a dozen States. That distribution of political power did not, and could not, aft"ect the formation of a new Grand OJ for Congress, nor all the govemments of the world, have no right, masonica11y, to divide or distribute the boundaries or prerogatives of Grand G!:I. The Grand Master says: It is a well eMabUshed principle in masonie law, that if in any State. Territory, or other political division where no Grand 0 alreadv exists, there be three or more regularly constituted C(b in active operation, they have the right to meet in convention by their rllpresentatiTe&, adopt a constitution, elect olllcers and organize a Grand 0, which thenceforward exercises all masonic jurisdiction over the State or Territory within which it has been established. On this point Mackey, in his treatise on masonic law, page 28, says: .. Three Cfu, therefore. in any Territory where a Grand 0 does not already exist, may unite in convention and organize a Grand D." We agree with this view, but the whole issue turns upon two simple quelltions, viz.: First, was thore not a Supreme Grand 0 holding and claiming its authority over the western counties 0{ Virginia r Second, was Western Virginia, as a State or Territory, unoccupied or open territory to any Grand 0 to plant l:ÂŁJ there! No one presumes to deny the first question. There was a Grand 0 over those ClOunties-l!Olo and snpreme in its nuthority; and unless we recognize the dangerous and unmll80llic fallacy that Congress can define masonic limits, we must unequivocally acknowledge that the formation of the State of West Virginia did not in any wise affect the original jurisdiction of the Grand 0 of Virginia. No one presumes to answer the second question alllrmatively. No Grann 0 in the world would have dared to plant a 0 in vr est Virginia as .. unoccupied territory." It was occupied-by whom! By the Grand 0 of Virginia alone, and such being the case, the quotation from Dr. Mackey does not apply in any sense to thiJI question. Bro. Mackey only dell.ned the case of such fltates or Territories in which there is no sale and supreme Grand 0 jurisdiction. For instance, New :Mexico. In that Territory this Grand 0 bas three te:J, and other Grand CEJ may have subordinates also. but neither those other Grand Bodies nor this one exercise supreme control over the Territory-it is an "unoccupied fleld," and we only govern our own immediate subordinates, and those subordinates may at any time agree (three or more of them) to form a Grand 0, and they, being square on the books, are entitled, as it were, to their dimits, to create a Grand Body for themselves. Even then, should one or more of the subordinates rOo fll8e to couperate in the movement, they can not be cvmpelled to do BO, bu& may continue their subordirtation to their mother Grand 0. This was the case between this Grand 0 and the Grand 0 of Illinois many years ago.

When that Grand 0 was formed, it tried to cvmpel our CEJ over there to join them, but we denied their right, and we maintained our jurisdiction over our CEJ in that Stnte, although our records show that 'this Grnnd 0 used every effort to get her cllildren to unite with the other Body, and finally succeeded. We have, from the fir.t, refused to recommend the recognition of the Grand Cl of West Virginia, l\,S a mt,ttcr of masonic principle. We are sacredly opposed to the slightest politic:.l interference with masonic affitirs; and the whole issue, whethcr a political government can divide masonic jurisdidions eontrnry to the mtlsonic consent, is involved in the settlement of this \'ery important casf', for the rpnson that the Grand 0 of West Virginia is based upon the tilct that West Virginia was severed from the State of Virginia and created into a political State. \Ve deny the validity of any such basis-with, however, the best intentbns and good wishes for our brethren in the new State. \Ve lllok upon every Grund Cl which has recognized the Grand Cl of West Virginia as having acknowleged a political supremacy over their jurisdictions-an acknowled~颅 ment which we do not think this Grund 0 will ever make. The Ornnd 0 of Virginia, for the stlke of harmony, has consented to let thcm go, provitled her subordinates in West Virginia will surrender tlwir charters and pay up their dnes. This is certainly amiable, and involves l\ great sllcl'ifiee on the principle named, as we look at it. The recognition by the committee of New York is a singulnr one, to-wit. : .. \Vtl welcome this ncw bOlly with sincere congratuhltions, anti trnst that it may provo a nursing mother to the ernft under its anthorit~路." The term .. nursin~ mother" here covers a good deal. It is the trne definition of the Ol'l\lId 0 of West Virginia. Durin~ the natur:ll mother's inability to w'lteh over :\1\ her children for tho time being, she stepped in l\nd ctlretl for them during the wlIr; but Burely no nur.ing mother would be justified in retllining posscssion of the children lifter the mother "got abont" and claimed them, as she WllS entitled to. \Ve trust, for the ~ake of ml\sonic integrit.y lind iudepellllcncc before the world, that the Granu 0 of West Virginia will relinquish her control o\'er CEJ not her own, bnt resol\'e them back to their mother, lind then let the division be made amicably and with adherence to ., masonic l1sa~e."

\Ve look upon this case liS similar to that of tlle Grand 0 of \\Tashing-ton Territory chlillling her ori!-\"inal jurisdiction in pllrt of the new territQry of Idllho. \Ye also look upon the issue before us as dis.imilllr to N OVII Scoth~, liS it was unoccupied territory, more tlmn one Grand 0 exercising eo-ordinllte jllrisdidion.

Freemasonry is universal, and all the CEb and Freemasons spread all over the world constItute but Olle D." This iublime thought, which c1enrly and markedly expresses the fundamental idea of our feder..tion, has not yet been realized. To the first of all Grand CEb, the Grand CJ of England, the Craft is doubtless groatl y indebted. and thankfully acknowledges its great und llIanifold merits; yet it is not to be denied that this Grand D lias neglecte<i ~ullicientlJ to gUllrd 111 every direction the unity of the in~titlltion. '.!'he nRtural cOI\,;cquc\lcc of this is, that while spreading and developing itself in different cOllllllunities, the Uruft very soon assumed 1\ variet,· of torms and laws, nay, chllnged its very chltrllcter to a certllin extent, by reason of local eireumstllnces lI\ld .pcdlll requiremcnts, as well as owning tlu;inftuence of the spirit of the dny.

few forms of worship common to all, as long as this unity d0es not recline in the face of the outer world, in proper platform and adequate representation by means af a joint federal law ana joint institutions. The association of German Freemasons, animated by the desire to realize aggregation designed to promote unitarian tendencies in freedom and love, a rational organizlttion of the Craft and its development in conformity with the spirit and the ideas of the time, has been seriously engaged, for several yeal'lt past, in working out a project for a general constitutiou; and at its annual meeting at Worms, on the 8th and 9th of June last, it has adopted the draft of such a constitution. The undersigned officers of the association have been deputed to submit this fundamental 'law to YOllr kind examination, and propose its adoption to you, honored and belO\'ed brethren. It can not escape your notice that this platform, stRrting from actual facts, and aimin<p at nothing but what is attainable, with due regard to the historical deve7opment of the Order, is designed to bring about unity in things essentinl only, but in everything else adhere throughout to the masonic princirles of liberty, equality and fraternity, of local self-go\'ernmellt and genera worship, and that it may consequently be safely adopted by every Grand D. We need not dwell upon the desirability of the estnblishment of international masonic con~resses and the foundation of a Board of Management (Ve1-waltungsaltssc!mss), or universal Grt\nd 0 for the whole federation; and it is useless to expatiate upon the beneficial results the fraternity and mnnkind at large might derive from the foundation of such institutions. However bold this idea may appear, its realization belongs no more to the province of mere phantasms, by reason of the vnst de\'elopment of the mCans of communica~ tiou between all countries-nations being thus brought nearer to one another, and the idea alluded to having already rcceived its incarnation by international exhibitions of industry. 'Vhat eould be dOlle for the advancement of material interests may and must be no less practicable for the promotion of the illtellectllaI and moral interests of mankind. The Qne thing needful is, that everr individual and cvery coporate body evince a firm good will, as due to thIS great and ~ood cause, thllt everyone set abont to work courageollsly and withont pn'judice, and that personal inclinations and opinions be iredy waived in the interest of tho whole. Seeing that the influence of the t:e:J has been beneficial hitherto, and that, wherever thcy worked in the proper animus, they fostered and promoted morality, brotherly love and the good of mankind at luge, this will evidently be the case to a much greater extent if the individual links of the ellllin of the Order be drawn closer together, if the\' improve their institutions, brenthe the breath of lIew life' into the masollie bod\', keep puce with the progress of tho century, and work throughout upon olle plun und in one spirIt. In the confident expectation that you, honored and belO\'ed brethren, will gladly and frcely join us in our elldca\'or tu bring ahout illternalaml external unity and a rational org!\llization of the Crllft, lln,l therewithal a nclV l'm of prosperity of Masonrv,' we earnestly entreat you to adupt the llllnexed .. fundllmental law" (Grundgesct~), which is drawn up in the spirit and ul',>D the ground of the" ancient eha!!;"s," lind to fo>'ter Iln,l promote al! llsplraHons caleulattd to establish lUI intcrllationlll tic llmon~st :lIl t:e:J twd Ill!

We have received the above through the masonic press, and give it a placo here in order that we may re'i"iew the question at the present session of our Grand O. The Grand CI of Missouri has long ago set its seal against a national organization, for reasons fully set forth lit sundry times, and, as we think, satisfactorily to all concerned; and we do not think it will seriously, at this time, consider the policy of a "Wor1<l's Grand CI," if such be the intention of the movers in tho matter before us. The" fundamental laws" spoken of we have not seen, bat presume they are intended to provide for a unity of action in the internal government of the congress, or G. Grand CI. Thero are se'i"eral reasons against thc proposed movement: 1. It will be impossible to make laws llufficicntly binding as to givo to the dictum of the congress any validity, without infringing upon the rights of masonic sovereignties; and without this compulsory powcr the constitution would bo but a dead letter, _and the organization bo but a bureau to furnish distinguished placC1l for defunct or 11mbitious leaders. 2. Its orgauization would, if of any force, commit the masonic world to the actions of bnt 1\ few men, which, if wrong, would disturb tho harmony of tho masonic world to correct them; and for ourselves we can not see a particle of good to arise from any such aggregation of interests. To-day the }lasonic Fraternity is "one Grand CI," and let us not disturb its lmrmony by trying any new experiments in a field w:'t.re every other institution has found its grave.

thought otherwise, and impounded the charter, and the Grand !:J confirmed the action. Bro. Mason, of D 144, in voting for suopension of charter, said "there was an idea current among young Masons that the Master in the chair was not bound by the Book of Consthutions, and that, when its observance was inconvenient, he could act in contravention to it. Such an idea Wal utterly erroneous, and ought not to be allowed to exist. It was no uncommon thing for attempts to be made to reverse the decision that had been come to by ballot. It was at all times a painful task for a Mason to be obliged to put in a black ball, and it was not a right thing for him to be called upon openly to justify such an act. The existing mode of voting had been long established; it was no doubt a very beneficial one, and must be upheld." It was upheld unanimously. Halifax D, 118, Nova Scotia, was suspended by Provincial Grand Master, and on appeal, after being repnmanded, was restored. During the discussion, a brother made a very sensible remark, to-wit.: "There were certain opinions in the appeal which were held by Dr. Oliver, a gentleman for whom he had the highest reapect and admiration as a Mason, but who was at times apt to l~ad Ma80ns very much astray." That has been our opinion of Dr. Oliver's works. Quarterly balance in Fund of Benevolence, $6,865; quarterly balance in Fund of General Purposes, $9,370. The third session was held under R. W. Alex. W. Adair, Provincial Grand Master, for Somersetshire. The Rt. Hon. Thomas Earl of Zetland Wal put in nomination for Grand Master, election to be held in M.rch, 1866. The Grand !:J adopted an amendment conferring on Provincial Grand CÂŁJ the power to revise their affairs within their jurisdictions, and giving the Provincial Grand Masters appells.te jurisdiction; S.180 the power to appoint District Grand Masters under th:m. In all cases appeal lies from District Grand Cib to the Grand D of .England. Balance in Fund of Benevolence, $7,940. The fourth session was held under M. W. the Rt. Ron. the Earl of Zetland, K. T. G. M. on the Throne, and at the annual electiorr he was, tor the twentythird time, elected Gnnd Ms.ster. He delivered the following Address: It was with no ordinary feeling ths.t he thanked the brethren for the honor they had lor the twenty-third time conferred on him in eleating him to the oflic<l of Gr..nd M.aster. if at any time he hs.d fs.iled in the performance of his duties, the failure hs.d not been intentions.l. He was ever desirous of doing his duty to the Craft, but that he could not but be sensible that llOme of the infirmities of s.ge were crellping on; s.nd he hoped that when the brethren were of opi~li~n t~at he was becoming inc~pabl~ of e~ciently performing the functioIlzl 01 hiS high olliee, they would give him a hmt, when he woulli be ready to resign to some other brother tbose duties which he had ever discharged to the best of his ability. He f"lt grateful to the brethren for the mannor in which thoy had sustamed him during his late domestic atRictions, and trusted that 80 long as he continued to hold the office of Grand Master he might continue to merit the approbation of the Craft.

The Grand CJ are j~tly proud of their noble Grand Master, and love him with a filial devotion. V. W. Samuel Tompkins was unanimously elected Grand Treasurer. These are the only elective officers in that Grand body. The income of the Grand CJ, from all sources, for the year 1865, was $99,360, of which $79,140 had been expended on the new Freemasons' Hall, on Great Queen street. The ftfth session was held under the M. W. Grand Master, the Earl of Zetland, who was saluted, according to ancient form, in confirmation of his election. He then made his appointments for the ensuing year, including the reappointment of V. W. Bro. Wm. Gray ClArke as Grand Secretary, and W. Bro. Wm. Farnfield as Assistant Grand Secretary. The Grand Master paid a most fitting tribute to the memory ofV. W. Bro. William Henry White, who had for nearly fifty years served as Grand Secretary, and whose death he deplored so much. The Grand CJ passed very strong resolutions on the same subject. The sixth session was held under the M. W. Grand Master, June 6, 1866. The salaries of the various clerks and assistants in the Grand Secretary's office were fixed at a very liberal rate. An appeal was brought up from 0 of Harmony, No. 438, Cawnpore, Asia, in which the question of the religion of an Asiatic was called in question, on account of the initiation of a certain prince. The Grand Registrar stated that the by-law fixing a certain religion was .. in contravention of the Book of Constitutions, becau~e in the first of the ancient charges it is declared that, â&#x20AC;˘Let a man'B religion or mode of worBhip be what it may, he is not excluded from the Order, provided he believe in the glorious Architect of Heaven and Earth, he worBhiped one God, and practiced the Bac1'ed duties of morality. The religion of the candidate was a Mono-theistic religion. He believed in the great Architect of the Universe, he worshiped but one God, and practiced the precepts of morality. By the Constitution he was eligible to be admitted, if he could find a CJ willing to receive him. The objectionable by-law had since been rescinded, and could no longer prohibit the initia'ion of Asiatics." And the Grand CJ unanimollsly confirmed the Registrar. We find on the roll of (â&#x201A;ŹJ returns from every quarter of the habitable globe, numbering 1,220. The seventh session, September 6,1866, was held under R. W. Robert John Bagshaw, Provincial Grand Master of Essex, as Grand Master. The Assistant Grand Secretary resigned, after a service of forty~ne yearP, and the rank of Past Assistant Grand Secretary was conferred upon him. Eaton CJ, 633, came very near losing its charter, on account ot the negligent manner in which the records were kept, and the Treasurer having failed to keep the proper books. By promise of reformation they were saved, after a reprimand.

The eighth session, and the latest report which we have received, was held December 6, 1866. The following amendment was proposed : No brother shall attend in any public place as a 路Mason, clothed in any of the jewels or badges of the Craft, nor at any funeral or puhlic procession, withotlt the license of the Grand Master, or Provincial Grand Master, or DiKtrict Grand Master. If a brother shall trans~rll88 this law, he shall be rendered incapable of ever being an officer of a 0, and excluded from the benefit of the general chari~y. And if a D shall 80 otrena, it shall stand suspended until the Grand GJ shall determine thereon. This lies over under the rules, and we hope to hear of it baTing been adopted. The following review of European Grand (jb is taken from the report of Bros. John L. Lewis, jr., John W. Simons and M. Pinner, of New York; and while we are pressed for space, we can not, in justice to our brethren, curtail the report but little, for it is the m09t complete furnished to the American )lason, and from which alone he can gather items of prime necel!8ity in acquiring an intelligent insight into European Freemasonry, and through which he will be enabled to check imp09itions by traveling vagabonds. We commend the report to the careful perusal of the Craft. We look upon this review alone as worth the whole cost of publishing our proceedings, and we regret that our contemporaries do not feel for it the same importance. We thank the New York committee for the result of their arduous labor. ISEL&1'fD.

From this Grand D we can furnish but little information, although it has a. representative n.ear our Grand 0. It is a part of its policy to publish none of its proceedings, and hence we are unablet<> gather any mdications of the conditIOIl or progress of Masonry, or whether it makes any progress at 1'11.* The titles snd number of officers of the Grand CJ correspond with thOlle of this Grand 0, and are annually elected, except the Deput)' Grand Master, who is appointed by the Grand Master. The Grand Master has the right to name his ~ucee!lSor; but if not approved, then another is to be named by the Grand Masters' D. This latter Ll has the precedency of all others, and has the sole ri~ht of recommending the Grand officers by election, and it, ~ether with the Board of General Purposes, which is composed of the Grand Master, his Deputy, and fifteen Past Masters elected annually by the Grand D, constitute the real governing power. Very little can be done without the assent of thl' Grand Master or'one of those bodies. There are also Provincial Grand (jb, like those of Enl1;land. The Grand D holds its annual feRst on St. John the B!lptist's Day, arid oper:s on the first degrlle Officers of (jb in the city of Dublin are chosen semi-annually. No Master of a D can serve for more than two years. Unanimity in the choice of candidates is the general rule, unless restricted by the br-Iaws of particular (jb. The Freemasons Female Orphan School, a noble institution, is under the care of the Grand D. M. W.

The officers of the Orand CJ of Scotland, distinct from our's, are a Bubstitute Grand Master, a Grand ()1erk, two Grnnd Architects, a Grand .Jeweler, a Grand Bible Bearer, a Grand Director of Ceremonies, a Grand Bard, nnd flo Grand Director of Music, but no Standard路Bearer, Stewards or Pursuivl\nt. There are under its authority about forty Provincial Grand Cf!J. and about two hundred and eighty subordinates, of which about tifty l:2::J are colonial. We have bofore us a copy of the Dumfries COll1ur, giving an account of the laying of the corner-stone of Gl"ay Fril\l'll Church. at Dumfries, May 11, 1866, by R. W. Henry Inglis, Provincial Grand Master of Peebles and Belkirkshire, as substitute fOl" the Grand Mastel'. Thirty-three l:2::J were present upon the occasion, and the corner-stone was laid, and the plumb, square and levol applied, according to the ancient ceremonies of the Craft. The paper states tliat it was a gala day in Dnmfries, and that the procession was n large one (in which we &l"e ploll8ed to see the Kirk-Session occupied" placc), and that most of the places of business were closed. The proceedings were inaugurated by public wOl'$hip and tbe preaching of a sermon, at St. Michael's Ohurch, and concluded by a public dinner at the King's Arms Hotel, at which toasts were drank and speeches mnde; the whole, including tbo relil:"ious services and the toast drlllkin~. bein~ performed in tho most approved old Scotch fashion, the lattl'!' being inoited Dy thirst-moving speeches of Attic salt.

The annual aBBembly of the Grand Orient of France was beld in tIle cit~路 of Paris, commencing on the 21st ot Mav, 1866. In addition to the M. W. Bro. Millinet, Grand Master. his deputy and other officet8, there were 211 brethren, representing 242 constituent bodies of various degrees, the Grand Orient granting warrants and exercising control over Chapters and Councils, as well

asl:2::J.

The address of the Grand Master, though brief, is fraternal in tone, and manifests a strong desN-e on his part to make the acts of the Grand Orient, as well I\S his own. tend to the prosperty of the Uraft throughout the jurisdiction. He says: "Everywhere masonic faith is being awakened: tho number of Cfb is increllsing in a hitherto unknown mtio, and the numbl'r of initiates is correspondingly increased, and our business is rather to direct than to stimulate thClr zeal. Dnring the year some twenty l:2::J have been established or revived, and a large number are in process ot' formation. To what cause llre we to lltLribute this significant movement! I l\lwe no hesitation in slwing, that, in the first place, it is dlle to a r.atural reaction agl\inst the misplaced and unjust attacks of which Masonry has been the object: but I am gratified in believing thl\t it is I\lso due to the spirit pervading our subordinates, I\nd the caret'ul I\dministratioll of your attilirs by those in whom you have placed yonr confidence." Ho states the finances to be in the most sl\tisfactorv condition, and that the iniluence of the Grand O4ent for good is daily incroi'uing both abroad and at bome. Some of the Cfb have evinced a disposition to treat the article of the Constitution dt!c1aring belief in the existence ot' a Supreme Being a masonic requirement, a8 merely theoretical llnd not obligatory, the Grnnd Master declaring them in errur. He announced his iutention ot' ordering a general inspection of the l:2::J, after the manner of our District DeputieS, I\lld auguti a most fa\'omble result.

tice to be the most perfect, as bccause it tends to that unifonnity which ought to characterize a socicty which re~ards all men as brethren, and which will not allow its operations to be restricted by the narrow boundaries of States or nations. It is cnriou., too, to note, that while in this country Masonry has received an impetus beyond all former experience, we have cast about rather to devise methods of checking too rapid progress, the French Grand Master, under similar circumstances, sees but a natural reaction against unjust opposition. alld exhorts his brethren, not to a closing of their doors, but to a more careful walk in life liS in their ~, that they may the better merit their prosperity. Is there not something suggestive in these facts? First, that under the widelv ditferent circumstances, habits and tastes of the American and French nations, with so many thousand miles between them, there should nevertheless be a simultaneous era of prosperitv for the Institution, and that each. in its own way, should llluek from the aan~ers of unmerited and unreasonable prejudice and OppOSItion a de~ree of prosperity and public approval not before enjoyed, and due, perhaps, to'the very efforts lntended to crush us? And, secondly, is there not something in the philosophy of our distinguished brother which suggests a broader view of the situation than we on this side of the ocean have been in the habit of takin~! He notes the increl\Se of numbers nnd the renewed enthusiasm of the brethren; but, to his mind, they conceal no dangers, nor appear anything but a normal development of energy. There can be little doubt of the correctness of his theory; but among people as impulsiv. lUl our's, practice demonstrates the necessity of more restraimng influences. The facts, however, remain that the tide of prosperity flows onward in other countries besides our own, and that the increase of initiations is due to some other cause than curiosity on tho part of the profane, or carelessness on the side of the FraternitY'. The session was in great part devoted to the discussion of a Code of Regulations, comprising three hundred and thirty-three articles, involving: a multitude of details, usually left in this country to the discretion or by-lows of subordinates, and giving rise to lengthened debate, which is carefully, and no doubt accurately, reported and printed in full. As a general rule the speakers di"plnv considerable ability, and the whole goes to prove that the peculiarity of Wcstern life-stump speaking-is not confined to America. We note that, in the course of debate, resort was hl\d to the parliamentary ruse of the prcvious question. Owing to the grellt number of article, in the code it was found impos:lible to complete the discussion, and the subject wus postponed for 1\ yellr, when, among other questions, will be a proposition to strike out the constitutional clause requiring the belief in the existence of a Supremo Being as a necessary prelude and qualiflClltion for initiation* It is difficult to understnnd how the proposition can be entertained. in view of the fact that the rcquirement in question is a part of thll Uoustttution, and that instrument, by it. own provisions, can only be amended at the end of nine yeal"l!. Perhaps, as we say, the brother making it wanted to "lny an anchvr to windward." At the close of the debates it is the custom in this jurisdiction for the membel"l!, desiring to do so, to submit. in writing, for the conSIderation of the Grand }Il~ster and his council during recess, such propositions as they may desire. On this oc"Cllsioll thirty were submitted. We notc a few of the most strildn~ : 2.

16. That the Master be not of right the representative of a 0 in the Grand Orient, but that each 0 have the rhtht to elect its special representatives. 17. That the device, LIBIl:BTY, 'EQUALITY, FIU,TERNITY, be printed as a heading to all masonic documents:* 19. 'That Masonry encourage, by all possible means, primary instruction, and that C€:J be invited to found prizes, to be distributed annually to teachers and pupils of both sexes. 20. That there be at least two official visits to each 0 annuallv. 21. That in all cases of appeal, the decision be accompanied by the reasons on which it is based. 25. That the secular journal of largest circulation in Paris bo made the medinm of publication of snch masonic articles as may tend to enlighten the public as to the sl'irit and aim of the Institution. 27. That the Grand Orient proceed at the earliest moment to the establishment of C€:J of adoption. The labors were closed by an address from the Grand Orator and the usual banquet, at which the son of Abd-el-Kader was present as a visitin~ brother. It will be seen that the eloventh point cnlls for the establishment of s custom which has long existed smong the C€:J in this conntry, though perhaps not as generally as mIght be profitable, and that it goes to show that, notwithatanding the difference in langnlllte, manners and customs between the two countries, similar nceds sug~est parallel remedies. The twenty-fifth looks to a proceeding well established in this country, and which, although at first regarded with distrust, has pro\'ed to be emiilently useful to the Craft in bringing them in closer contl\ct with the general flU blic, and annulling ml\ny silly and unfounded prejudices against the SocietL It is now seen that ~Iasonry may use the vast {lower of the press to state its true doctrines and sims, and that masonic toPlCS can be publicly discussed, not onl,)' without derogation from our established laws, but with great profit to the Fraternity, in gh'ing them their true place among the lsborers for social elevation, ana by enli~lltening the people, m:lking them not onl~' ceMe their opposition, but actuat7 y comprehend that, in maintaining the work of Masons, thev "re assurmg to public virtue a strolll~ and ready support. It is to be feared that the "French masonic mind is scarcely far enough advanced in JlractiCliI ideas to adopt this suggestion at present, but we earnestly trust that the good seed which has been planted, and which is even' da.y germin,~ting, may"soon beur up influences to lead them in this direction. That they are tending toward it may be seen from the nincteenth proposition, looking to the encouragement of public education. In this respect France is gre..t1y in arrears, and nowhere in her social systelll is this great need of her people more likely to become apparent than in her work of }!t\sonry. That the brethren have perceived this need spel\ks well for their serious application to the inner teaclllngs of the sanctuary; that they desire to educate and thus elevate the people is the bcst proof that the n"tionsl reputation for frivolity is not merited, or at least that the effect of our Institution among them is to engender a spirit of liber"litvand toler"tiou in marked distinction to other influence. at work among them. The twenty-first proposition is not only in terms an approval of the system of official visitstions, but 1\ pravcr for its extension. In an American jurisdiction such a request would excite no cOlllment, for the reason that we find visitations recommended in the Ancient Charges to which we pay obedience; but in France the Charges and RcguJ.ltions of 172l are. not ~enerally known. and even amon,lt the few who meet them in their rendmg they are re<Tardcd merely as historical curiosities. This proposition, then, goes to provewY,at we have already ad\'nnced, that the underlymg idcllS of Mllsons, wherever found, are es.;;entia)ly the Sllme, and thllt, therefore, Masons, in seeking to extend their work, instinctly fall into the same paths.

GRAND LODGE OF SAXONY.

Two of the Protocols of this Grand 0, 'Nos. 76 and 76, respectively dated September 2'2, 1866, and January 12, 1867, are before us. The Grand Master stated that the occurrences in the political world had interfered with the sessions of the Grand o. The intercourse with the Grand Orient of France, by the appointment of representatives, which had been interrupted for a number of years, has been resumed. The Grand Orient of Belgium applied to the Grand 0 for a closer alliance by the appointment of representatives. The Grand 0 havin!!. on the 13th of November, 1854, protested against the action of the Grand Orient of Belgium in permittin!1; political and religious discussions at their 0 meetings as being in direct violation of the fundamental principles of Masonry:, had lllterdicted all intercourse with the Belgian CitJ and their members. Before determining, therefore, the course to be pursued in relation to this question, it was resolved to ascertain from the Grand Orient of Belgium whether it still abided by these enunciated principles. The Grand Onent of Brazil, Valk dos Benedictinos, at Rio Janeiro, asked for reco~nition and the appo:ntment of mutual representativCl. Before taking any definite steps it was resolved to ascertain the views of other German Grand CitJ on the subject. The Grand Master alluded to the circular letter of the Grand 0 Zur Eintracht, of April Hi, 1866, in reference to contemplated reforms, to be conside:ed in a German Masonic ConlO'ess, to assemble at Frankfort-on-the-Main on the 26th day of August. The Grand Officers had discussed the subject on the 26th of May, and had concluded to submit it to the Grand 0 for consideration. But as late political occurrences had interfered with the meetings of the Grand 0, and as the assembling of the proposed Masonic Congress had been postponed for like causes, it was resolved to defer action untIl Borne future time. One of the daughter CitJ reports to the Grand Cl that she has forever rejected the repeated application for initiation of a Mr. Rost, of Dresden, by fifty-one black balls. A very decided rejection, we should say; but, accordin" to our ideal!, very strangely proclaimed. The Grand Master announced that a general Grand 0 communication woulu be held durin~ the fall of this year, and that the CitJ would be notified thereof in due season. The CitJ under the jurisdiction of the Grand CJ are reported to be in a healthy and flourishing condition. GBA.ND NA.TIONAL MOTHER LODGE ZlJ DEN DREI WELlIo..lJ. GEIN, THREE GLOBES, A.'.r BERLIN.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

[Oct.

GRAND LODGE OF HANOVER.

The only number of the Protocols of this Grand 0 which has reached us bears date Mav 5, 1866. . A case was brought before the Grand 0 of a candidate who was initiated in a 0 under protest of a neighboring sister 0; the party initiated not being posse8Bed of sufficient education or social standing' in the opinion of the protesting O. He was suboequently refused admission to their meetings The Grand 0 decided that a 0 is not justified in refusin~ admission to a visitin~ brother to their labors, even if she did express an opmion against the worthiness of the candid..te at the time of his inili~tion. * The Deputy Grand Master addressed the Grand 0 in reference to the reform question, a.~ follows: " You are aware that for years an effort has been made, particull\I'ly through the ffil\8onic press, to bring about reforms in Masonry. If at first the deml\nds for these reforms w..re beyond reason, mdeed. if they had been complied with, true Masonry would have perished, and l:€:J woula have been transformed into social c1ubs. Of late more rmlsonable views are taken, the demands are more moderate, and the proper opinion is now entertained, that in Germany, under existing circumstnnces, reforms, as far as may be desirable, can only be effected through the Grand l:€:J themselves. The Grand l:€:J of Saxony, the Eclectic Union, at Frankfort-on-theHain, the Grand D Zur Sonne, at Bayreuth, have occupied themselves with reforms; and in the Grand D of HamburA' the question of representation has been discussed. Of late the Grand 0 Zur Eintraeht, at narmstadt, has more particularly entered upon this subject. The Protocol of that Gmnd 0, of October 28tll oflast year, contains the observations ofM. W. Bro. Leykam" (which may be found in our Transactions of 1860, at pa~e li8). The circular letter of the Grand D Zur EiJli?'aeht (which wiII be found under that head) was then read, whereupon the Deputy Grand Master made the following propositions: "The question n)w presents itself, whether this Grand D Shllll, bv dele~a tion, attcnd the proposed convention of Deputies from Grand l:€:J? To llrrlve at a safe conclUSIOn in answering this qucstlOn, I dccm it desirable. "1. That the subject be examined by the Grand D, throu"'h the Masters of the three l:€:J of this citr, and, unless otherwise disposed of, ~e reported upon by them to the Grand tJ at a special communication on Saturday, June 9th, at six o'clock P. M. "2. That, in the meantime, the daughter l:€:J take the subject under considemtion, and either participate in the discussions of the Grand D on the 9th of June, throu~h their proper officer.., or instruct their representatives to lay their views on the subject before the Grand D." The Grand 0 assentod to these propositions. The Protocol otherwise contains nothing of importance. GRAND LODGE ZUR EINTRACHT.

We have received Protocols Nos. 55 and 50 of the sessions of this Grand D, held at Fmnkfort-on-the-Main, on the 15th of April and 21st of October, 1866. The Protocol of April 15th announces the death of our hi~hly esteemed representative near that Grand 0, R. 'V. Bro. F. L. Geisow, in the sixtysecond yellr of his age. Bro. Geisow, who was the Grand Secretary of the Grand b Zur Eintracht. has representod us for a number of years.

At this communication M. W. Bro. M. Leykam was unanimously re-elected Grand Master for three years, 1866-68, this being the third term for which he holds the office. Bro. Simon was elected Corresponding Grand Secretary. Tbe proposed celt:bration of St. John's Dav was omitted, in consequence of the war which then prevailed in Germany. the Grand Master alludes to this circulIl6tance in a very feeling manner in the address delivered at the opening of the Grand CJ, October 21, 1866. The Grand Orient of Lusitania forwarded to the Grand 0 Zur Eintracht a communication from the Grand Orient of Brazil, in the valley Dos BemdictinoB, at Rio de Janeiro, askin~ to be acknowledged as the lawful Grand D, and expressing a wish to enter Into friendly relations. Tbe Grand CJ did not wish to decide the <iuestion of legality between the two Grand Cib of Brazil, in the valley D08 Benedictino8 and Do LaPradio, but concluded to recognize that of the val~ DOB Bemdictinos, because it had already been acknowledged by the Grand 4b of Hanover and New York, and also by the Grand Orients of France and Lusitania. The Grand CJ therefore resolved to inform the Grand Orient in the valley Dos Benedictinos .. that due notice had been taken of its formation; that she wished 8ucce88 to her efforts to disseminate and advance the royal art, and that she was inclined to enter into friendly relationship wi th her, and for this purpo$e transmitted to her the statutes of the Grand '0, and a copy of the Protocol." The Grand CJ bas received rllplies from several Grand [€J to the invitation to mllet her in convention on the 26th day of AU~USt, for the purpose of discU88ing the reform question, the substance of whlCh we embody in the following extracts : The Grand CJ Royal York Zur Frev.ndschaft, of Berlin, while fully acknowledging the great importance of the 8ubJect, does not deem the present conjuncture favorable to a convention of that kmd. In case, however, it does take place, she desires to receive a copy of the di8\)u88ion8. The Mother Grand CJ of the Eclectic Union acknowledges the importance of the proposed convention, and would wisb it to be succe88ful. She acknowledges the necessity of reform, and declares herself ready to participate in consultatiou, which might lead to a reillization of beneficial results. She does not conceal from berself, howevcr, that the division of Germany will, masonically, as it does politically, prevent the realization of rt:forms by the interpositIon of the veto on the par~ of the illustrious protectors. Partly from the consideration of these circumstances, and partly from the fa~t that the smallest number of the German Grand C£b only acknowledge the humanitarian principle, she deemed it her duty to attempt the solution of the reform question within the Eclectic Union, &c.. &c. Without, however, abandoning hllr efforts in her own circle, she is ready to participate in the deliberations by the appointment of deputies to the convention. tlhe could accede to a majority of the proposed points, as they had already been adopted in· her statutes. In her opinion, the humanitaritm and Chri~tian principles are not co-ordinate; the fIll mer is au extension, or perhaps an idealization of the latter. The humllnitarian doctrine has always received its principle from original Christianity, and is concentrated in the single sentence, "Love God above all, and thy neighbor as thysdf;" and whoe\'er professes Masonry, be he a Christian by profession or otherwise, must acknowledge this principle, The conventioll itself she would con~ider a deliberative body only, without deemin!; the resolutlous which ma)' be adopted as bindinl(. Four delegates were appuinted to attcnd the convention. The Urand CJ of Freemasons of Germany, Berlin, like her siste~ Ro):al York, does not deem the present moment favorable to the n~semlJhng 01 a convention; for. SIl)'S she in her rcspoll~e. if, bv thc wise rnles of M8~onry, politie~ Ilre excluded from our temples, yet, even ill our capacity 1\8 FreemaSOliS, wc retain our reilltions in life, which influence e\-ery one more or less, be it cither by occupying hi~ time and energy or otb.erwise. Under tllllse circums~llncc~ it would nu~ be nccessury to argne how far Grund 0 Constitutions would admit of a reffiodtJIing. llnd whether 1\ necessity for reforlllution existed with her, whether the proposition of the creation of a

central authority for the whole of Germany could be harmonized with the protectorate under which they exi,ted, and the laws of the State, and whethe" a uniform organization of all Grand Cf!J, irrespective of their extent, was either possible or proper, &c" &c. It might be of interest to the Grand 0 Zur Eintracht to know that one of the points laid down in the programme, the direct representation of the Cf!J in the Grand 0, and the right to participate in the legIslation of the Orand 0, had alwa)'s existed in the Grand 0 of Freemasons of Germany, &c., &c. The Grand 0 of Hamburg regrets that it is not in her power to give positive assurance of her attending the congress by delegates, as she desires to condition her attendance on the p.rticipation of the other Grand Cf!J. The assurance is ~iven, however, that she will not exclude hel'l!elf, if all the German Grand Cf!J. or a ma~ority of them, will participate. Although she appreciates the true masonic spIrit that pen'ades the circular letter, she feal'l! that insurmoulltable obstacles will present themsel ves in the execution; as it is probable that the very Grand Cf!J whose representation would be of the greatest importance would be compelled to decline a participation in the deliberations of the congress. Even if the clouds which now dllrkened the horizon should be disper~ed, )'et the difficulties which present themselves in the exeention could hllrdlv be removed. Could it be expected that a sovereign Orand D. with the King as its honorary Grand Master or Protector. 'at the head, would assist in creating a superior authority over herself at Frllnkfort! You say: "This anthurity shall have no dictatolial power," but shall only mediate; the legislation to be exercised by the Gfllnd Cf!J.

This Grand D has entered into a closer alliance with the Grand Orient of Italy, at Milan. The Constitution transmitted by the latter, and explanations made in a letter, seemed to offer satisfllctory evidence that sound masonic principles had been adopted, and it is presumed that the Cf!J working under her will labor according to the spirit exprtlssed in them. The Grand D concluded to continue her seat for the present at Frankforton-the-Main, and declllred that, accordinJ!: to her statutes, Cf!J aftlliateil with her may be represented at the Grand DO meetings, either directly or by the appointment of proxies, and such only sbould be tlntitled to a vote. It would be deemed desirl\ble, however, that all advisory and executive branch of the Grand D, to consist of fro.J1 hine to twelve members, and to be without vote in the Grand 0, should be chosen from the three C€J at Frankfort. In this manner the rights and wish~.s of the ceJ would be regarded, and the busineBB of t~e Grand D better regulated. For that rellson it was dtlemed injud~c!oU8 to limit the term of office of the Grand )Inster to two years, and prOpOSItIOns werc made to extend the same to three or four years, and also to make him re-cligible. This was to be brought to tbe knowledge of the 4b. with the request to make their wishes known at the quarterly meeting in February, 18(;7. M. W. Bro. George D,mker was elected Grand Mllollter for the two years, 1866-67. GRAND LUDGE

SONNE, AT BAYREUTH.

This Grand D celebrated her One Hundred and Twenty-lifth Annivl'rsnry on the 21st of Januar\', 1866. Grand Master Feustel delivered an address on the m,i55ion of Freem'asonr)', but we re~ret that its great len~th precludes its tfllnst~rence to our pages. He closed with a few remarks 1Il regltrd to the external reilltions of the Grand D, as follows: "I feel justified in saying that the rdations ot' the Grllnd 0 to the thirteen 4b under her jurisdiction are of thc most pleasant nature; and all other rellltions are perfectly 6!\tisfllctor.,. We lire scarcely affected bJ the struggle which has arisen in the masonic world as to the rigbt of jurisdiction and Hiltlrt\'. The Grand Dip the e.'<pression of the will of a majority of htlr daughter 4tJ only, and with our organ~· tion a serious conflict is not conceivable. The nnture of FreemasonrJ' does not require the existence of ten Grand I:£::J in Germany. One Grand 0 would be sufficient to prescl'\'e the external ties neceSl'ary for the preservation of thnt order which binlls the .i Ilgle LEb, and to guard tbe rights of all. But the origin of the ten Grnllll CeJ cnn be traced to other sources than that of 1tlllsonry. They are the ott'springs of the political t'ormation of our Fatherland. Circumstances beyond the control of masonic corporations are decisive here," &c. In our report of last year (Tmnsaetions, 1866, p. 180) we gl\\'e an extended account of the self-constituttld D, Licht, Liebe, Leben. The action taken by the Orand Master in regard to this D wnt not approved by the duughter ceJ. and at the session of ~1ul'ch 3, 18UG, se\'crlIl entered their protest agninst the recognition of this D. The Grand Master therefore found it nocessnrv to declartl that the resolutions adopted by this Grand D on the 27th dll)' 01' .Januar)', 111(;u, did not acknowlecli?;e the association under the name of Licht. Liebe, Lebm to be a jU&t and lawful D, as the Grand D Wlloll not empowered to do so; and that tho non-recognition excluded its members from all just aDd lawful Cf!J.

GRAND LODGE ALPINA. SWITZERLAND.

This Grand 0 held its session at Zurich on the 6th and 7th of October, 1866. More intimate relations were entered into with the Grand Orients of Belgium and Portugal. In consequencll of the division between the Grand Cib Do [,avmdio and Do~ Benedictinos of Brazil, she declares that the Grand o Alpina will support that Grand Orient which has law and order for its basis, and expresses the wish that both Grand Orients should extend to each other the hand of fellowship, and unitedly labor to forward the masonic work of peace. The I:>ubordinate Cib are reported to be in a favorable condition. The exeeptioll is the Regeneree at Freihur~, where the intrigues of the Jesuits against Freemasonry compelled the closing of the D. In the CJ at Liestal political discussions have brought nbout a cessation ot" labors. The number of C£:J under jurisdiction ot" the Grand 0 is twenty-six, with a membership ot" 1,650. Six 01 the C£:J are located 80t Geneva.

GRAND LODGE OF DAMDtJRG.

In the Protocol of this Orand CJ ofMav 5, 1866, the Orand :Masteracknowledges the receipt from his agent of our 'Transactions for 1866, some numbers of the Triangle, and also tT,e first numbers ot" the new Masonic periodical publi.hed in New York, entitled Mittheilungen /lUS fkm Verein Deut8chAmerikani.9r.her Freimalt1'er (Communications from the Society of GermanAmerican Freemasons), for February and March, 1866. .. The es.ential portions of the first," 'he remarked, .. are already known from the extensive abstracts furnished to the Grand 0 of 88oxony by Bro. Von Men~ch. To enter into disc'lg~ion on account of some of the charges made against the Grand of Hamburg, lind particularly against her Grand Master, he deemed neither necessary nor appropriate, considering the position which his Grand 0 occupies in the mllSOIllC world." This is not the first time that the Grand Master of Hamburg. finding his positions untcnable, hns placed himself on his dignity and retired. To judge from simih.r performances by the same party on former occasions, we do not consider the retirement perillanena, and look for his reappearance at an early day. The Grand Master of Hamburg seems to be particularly rejoiced over the formation of the Masonic Society in New York ( Verin Deutch-Amel'ikani.9Cht" F1·eimllu1·el'). The manifest is.ued b.r the same, declaring itselt" independent from all superior nuthority, seems to be particularly pleasing to him, as is also the faet that anr Master Mason, even those of JllS two clandestine Cib, Pythngoras, No.1, of Brooklyn, and Frlinklin, No.2, of New York, can and h80ve become members thereof. "Therefore," exclaims he, in ecstasies,

.. brethren of American daug-hter c::etl, with brethren of Hamburg daughter Cf!:J 1" But the rejoicings or the Hamburg Grand Master over this happy intercourse between the members of the legal German (fb of New York and those of his two clandestine bodies was somewhat rudely interrupted by an occuiTence which soon after took place. Says he: "It was to be foreseen that this intercourse between the parties could not remain without consequences to the former. At a meetin~ of the Society, December 18th, Bros. Wieber and Levy, both Wardens of Copernicus C1 at Williamsburg, announced that they had been expelled from the 0 for holding masonic intercourse with clandestine Masons, and that all Cf!:J of the State had been notified to that effect." The facts of the case are substantially as stated by the Hamburg Grand Master: The parties were expelled by the 0, but appealed to the Grand 0 from this deciSIOn. The Grand 0 reversed the decision of the 0 on account of informalities in tho trial, with permi~sion to the 0, if deemed advisable, to order a new trial. The particulars of the case the Grand Master of Hamburg will find on page 71 of our Transactions for 1866, a copy of which, we suppose, he has received from his Brooklyn agent. The Grand Master of Hamburg may rest assured that this Grand CJ will pursue no temporizing course in regllrd to this Mociety, or any other which may be formed. The greatest liberty of speech and action has been and always will be granted to all brethren by thIS Grand 0, provided her constitution, laws and edicts are not violated. While no narrow-minded policy will be pursued by her, she will, on the other hand, not shrink from enforcing her laws, let the consequences be what they may. The Grand 0 of the State of New York is democratic in her formation and government. She is composed of the Masters and Wardens of all her subordinate [fu, who frame the laws for the. government of the Grand 0 and htir subordinates (that is themselves), elect their officers annually, and give expression to their views and opinions during the se!sion of the Grand D. If reformation in the laws, ritullI, or anvthing else in fact which is now being agitated by the reformers in Germany and here, should be deemed neceSSllry or desirablo in our Grand 0, the members composing that body have it in their power to etrect the same in a legnl manner; alto~ether a different state of affllirs from that in many of OUI sister Grand [fu IU Germany or Eurolle. The majority of the Cib composinA" the Grand 0 of the State of New York are the sole judges of what is nectlSury and needful for them, and to this the minority has alwll.Ys assented, although it may be contrRry to the \-iews entertained by them * The Grand Master of Hamburg, in Protocol No. 116, November 3, 1866, recognizes the GrllDd 0 Do Lavrad&o of I!razil.

It will be remembered that this is the Grll.nd 0 that, for a ye..rly pecuniary tribute, hIlS acknowledged as legal tbe German 0 at JQinville, Bllizil, colonized by Hamburg.

investij!;ation, pT<JVed a mistake, as the Grand 0 of Ml\ryll\nd Wl\6 not desirous to enter into closer relationship with a body that has been ostracized by all the Grand CEJ in the United States. Of course our sister of Texas is independent and soverei~n, and fully capl\ble to take care of her own interest. Without l\ny intentIOn, therefore, or desire to interfere in her affairs, we merely wish to draw her attention to the fact, which may have escaped bel', that the Grand 0 of Hambnrg, with all her subordinate~, are treated as clandestine by all the Grand C2:J of the United States. If our sister of Texas open any intercourse with this Grand Mastel' of fillibustering propensities, she may soon find one of Hamburl{'s bl\ntlings in ber midst, owing alle~iance only to her beloved mother Grand :..J, Since writing the foregoinl!: we hl~ve received No. 117 of the Protocol of the Grand 0 of Hl\mbur/l; of February 2, 1867. The Grand Master' acknowledges the receipt, through Dr. Bathelmess, of Brooklyn, of an additionl\lsupply of the Triangle. From No.8 of that paper he learns that Pythagoras d. No. 86. at New York, celebrated her twentvfifth anniversary, on which occasion Bro Holmes, the GJ:and 1IIaster of the State of New York. Wl\S present. In an address of some length he is reported to have expre>sed the wisll that the Grand 0 of the ~tate of New York may have occasion to live in peace with all the Grand C2:J of Germany. and particularly would he wIsh to see the existing difficulties with the Grand 0 of Hamburg- settled. Upon this Grand Master Buek makes the following remarks: U To bring about this result the Grand 0 of Hamburg will most willingly extend he~ hanel, provided it is not required of hAr to dis.'olve the existing connection between hprself and hel" two beloved dllUghter CEJ, except at the request of tbl' latter thelllSel ves. If the Grand 0 of New York is us sincere in her wish to see peace restored as she (the Grand 0 of Hamburg) is herself, she doe& not consider it impossible to arrive at this l"esult by entering iuto an arrangement in rl'gard to these hvo [€:J somewhat similar in eftect to that now existin/!: between herself and the Grand D of Brazil in reference to the 0 at J oinville. Into an llrrllngement of this kind she would willmgly enter." We have no information as to the correctness of this newspaper report, as lltated in thA Hamburg Protocol, in l"eference to 'the remarks said to hose been made by 111. W. Bro. Holmes. They are, however, SO much in consonance with the enlightened and often expressed views of tile brother that, even should it be the case that he did not actul\lIy make them, it may be snfoly inferred that they will meet his cordial approbation. W'e live in peace and hllrmony, not only with the Granli l:fb of Germany. Hambur~ excepted, but with nil the Grand C2:J of the world; and wer" it uot for the 8tubbornness (to uur regret we can not caB it by any other Hallle) of the Grand ~aster of Hamburg, we hft\'e no doubt the dillSensions between the two Grand CE::J would become reconcilable. The Grand .Ml\9ter of Hamburg proposes to heal the difficulty in re~ard to his two [€J within our limits by the slime method which he applied to the Grand D of Brazil. It will be remembered that the Grnnd 0 of Rrnzil hus recognized thl' 0 80uthcrn Cross, at Joinville, Bruzil, chartered by Humburg, aslogal, on condition of lUI annual pecuniary contribution. The Grand )lu.t,'r of H.,mburg m'lkes the sume contemptible proposition to us. In repl)' we simply sav, that the principles for which the Orand 0 of New York h,lS con, tended l\nd is now battling lire not for sule. Tho proJlosition itself, however, is in keeping with the cQurso Iwretofore pursued by Dr. Buek; and we will onl... repeat, what we have o.lreadv so frequently IIsserted, that thcre can be no restoration of .unicablo rehltioilS betw"en the two Gram. [€J until he hu& withdrllwn hi8 charters Irom the two C2:J ho bas colonized in our midst. From this there will be no deviation. In reference to tho l\!tili1'll of the Grnnd CEJ at Rio Janeiro, and his dall~ll 'er Oat Joinville, the Grand Muster of Hllmt.urg remllrked thllt he hud dis· ptltched a letter to the Grand 0 Do La Dmdio, in Novemtwr, 18H5, inlorming the m'ne ot' the intended establishment of u. new Hamburg dau~hter D in the colony of BlulUonau (German colony in Brllzil.)

The Protocols of tbis Grand 0 for 1865 mention that the Grand officers had warned the brethren tn abstain in future from holding meetings with sisters, as according to former experiences, in the Jear 1810, "Wairs of that kind were followed bv disll~reellble consequences, and also were in co:ltravention of article 62 ot the Il\ws. The revision of the ritual of the three degrees had favol'l\bly pro~ressed during thell\Ht year. Con;iderable COIltl'ibutiollS ha been received for the education of children of Masons. The intercourse of the Grand CJ with foreign Grand bodies continued to be of the most friendly and brotherly nature, and negotiations are now in proj;!ess to enter into relations with the Grand Orient of Lusitullia, the two Grand q!J of ltal.v, at Tnrin and Milall. It was ulso proposed that, if the present National Grand ~faster, Prince Frederick, of the Netherlands, should desire to relinqui~h his office, he should have the privilege to continue the connection with the GrlLnd D, by assuming £he title of Protector.

usuallv original, is on some masonic subject, and of general interest. One of these i1iscusses the allocution of the Pope; another tile origin of Freemasonry, dating' it from the creation of man-a position the groundle!llmess of wbich has already been thorougbly demonstrated, and is no longer supported by anyone. Tn an article 'in No.2) taken from the Precurscur, of Antwerp, of J"anllRry 27th, it is again asserted that Pope Pio IX was made a Mason in a 0 at Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), wbere it is said he was stationed as Papal Nuncio The obligation, which it is asserted he took at the tiDle of bis initiation. is as follows: .. I will never cease to be a warm defender of the Masonic Institution, the noblest to my knowledge,whooe mission it is to lead the world to morality, to free the human race; and I will always protect it ever,路wherfl." Bro. Ladislaus Chotomski, engineer of Turin, member of the 0 Dante Alighieri, who communicates this obligation, gives the assurance that the archives of tbe 0 in which Count John Martai Ferretti, now Pope Pio IX, was initiated contains a rich collection of his autographs. The brethren in America are ever ready to show them to anyone W)IO feels an interest in the mlltter. ~ GERMANY.

The political changes which Germany has undergone, in consequence of the war between Prnssiaand Austria durinll: last summer, will not remain without eOllct on German Freemasonry. 'Vith the a~uirement of new territory Prussia has annexed to hergelf two new Grand Cib, to the three a~ready in existence at Berlin; the Grand 0 of Hanover, and the Eclectic Union, at Frallkforton-the-Main. Of the former George V, the exile king, WI18 the self-constituted Grl\nd Master. Under him two Deputy Grand Masters, also appointed by him, held office. With his compulsory r~tirement from the country his power as Grand Master ceased; but his deputies, hotdinp; office by virtue of the appointment received from him, continued their functIOns till of late, when they resigned. The Grand 0 did not proceed to the election of a Grand Master, as required bv the OOI\stitution, immediately after the resignation of the Deputy Orand"Masters, but permitted the exiled kinl!', who still considers himself Grand Master, to appoint a Deputy, who is now fulll.lIing the duties of hiq office'.

By !\ roval edict of 1798. t\1I Cib in Prussia are compelled to affiliate with one of the three Grand Cib at Berlin, or cease their work No Cib are permitted to be chartered by foreign Grand Cib within the boundl\rie~ of the kinl'dom; the ri~ht of jurisdiction being vested alike in the three Uk'and CEJ. Although it is claimed thllt the law of i8-l8, which gives the people the ri~ht to form societies not otherwise probibited, super.edes the ediet of 1798, it remllins to be seen whethp.t the kill!/;, himself a Mason Rnd Protector of the Frllternit)' in his dominion~, will permit the continuance of two new Gr..nd CEI, \vhose systems and principles are at vat'iance with the three already existing. It they are permitted to retain their identity and independence. the questioD of admitting non-Christians in the three Pru80ian Grand CitJ can not fail to be agitated. A nnmber of the daughter ~ of the Berlin Urand CEJ have hel"etofore endeavored to induce a ('hange in this resllect, but without a favorablc result. The three Grand r拢:J still require a profession of Christianity from tbe candidates. I1Rb'led with the spirit of religious intolerance, they o\'erlook the fact that the pI"inciples of Freemasonry are dil\metrically ()pposed to such doctrines, and that the introduction of sectarian creeds is all inno\'ntion of the ancient Illn<1marka. They overlook the fl/.ct that Freema.SOUI"V has no other aim but to unite men of different religious beliefs on the common bl\sis of love and godliness. Where that is 'forgotten-where .. religious test is applied-there Masonry is forgotten. The Grand 0 of the Eclectic Union, of Frankfort, included in f.he territory

The Grand D of Hanover, also, hRS virtually given her adhesion to the same principle, by lately reviving the 0 Zu?' Eintmeht ttOO Staudhafti.qkeit, at Cas"el (Hesse.) This C was a daughter of the Grand D of Hanover in 1850, but became dormant on account of' the enmity of the Hessian Government to Freemasonry. The D, before renewing her affiliation with the mother Grand 0, stipulated that no confession of faith should be required on the admission of candidates. Two officers of the 0 are Israelites. If the Grand 0 of Fl'llnkfort or the Eclectic Union is permitted to exist alf such under Prus.ia, then tolerance and religious equality, of which a larl!:e element exists in Prussia, will find a point of adhesion. teJ based upon the true masonic principle, humanitarianism, wiII be constituted under this Grand o throughout Prussia, and an adVAnce made in the right direction. There are, however, three other r:€:J working at Frankfort; one chartered by Hamburg, another by En)!land, and the third by Zur Eintracht, at Darmstadt. All these might affiliate with the Eclectic Union, if the latter ilf Ilermitted to continue as a Gnmd D. But if compelled to affiliate with the Grand r:€:J at Berlin, what would become of two of them, a majority of whose members profess Judaism? Their oontinUllnce as r:€:J upon principles differing so widely from those of the Berlin Grand r:€:J would virtually be II discontinuance of the pMition occupied by the latter-thRt of exclusiveness. The 1l1itosonic press of Germany, which tor yean has agitated the introduction of reforms in :Masonry, has, to some extent, moderated its tone Itlf demands are greatly reduced, and the correct view now prel"ails that, nnde:r existing eircumstances, refurms in Germany, so far as the same mav be desirable, can onlv be brou~ht about throu~h the Grand r:€:J. The Grand r:€:J of the Eclectic Union. tur Eintraeht, iur Sonne, Saxon.v, and aho H"mburg, have refol'm questions under considerl\tion, or taken I\ction thereon. The Verem Deutsche-J' It'reimaurel', the center of the reformers of Germany, did not hold its allllllal meeting last summer, on aecoUllt of the· political disturbances of the country. The estllbTIshment of Il central mn..oonie allthority for Germanv, proposed by the Grnnd 0 Zur EintmcM, and of which an account will he found in IlnotheJ'Jart of our report, hIlS been the 8ubject of di.cussion Ilmor.g the Grllnd l.£J as well as the reformers. A union of the Gernmn Brotherhood under a ~enel'lll Grand D is to be foll()wed by international uniolls, with R. Grand d for Europe-the reformation in time to spread over the world llnd beCOtrnl (,'Osmopolitan. With this the universality of Masonry, it was expected, would become a l'\J1llity. The idell in it8elf is renlly grand. On due reflection, however, it occur. to thll.t, inasmuch liS the first stcp toward the consummation of the proposition, the formation of the grand contnll authority for Germany, has not been l'Clllizod as yet, it would be better, perIUlp8, to leavo tho consideration of the subject, so far llS New York is concerned, to the dcscendants of our children. ThS

It is not even prohable that the grand central ffil\sonic authority for Germanv wilt ever become.~ realitv, as its formlltion will meet Witll almost in.uiimountabh, obstacles. Th~;>Iitic"l formation of the countr\', on which the existence of the Grand Lfb thelllsell'es depcnds, will offer tho first stum.bling-block. Take the three Grand % of Prussia for alt ilInstmtion. Is it likel-y that the kin~ of thllt country. who i8 the hC:ld of the Ffllternit." in hi~ c:orr.inions, will submit to Ill! lIuthority su\,,,rior to his own! The systcmlf practiced hy the vnrious Grand bodies essentially diller from each othcr, nl1(l their disllgrcelllcnt on the Christilill a.nd hlllll'UJitarian principle is no l<l!ll! 1D.llrklld.

The former hll8 always been inimical to Masonry. except during the short period from 1780 to liOO, under the reign of J~eph II, when it was permitted to occuPy II more fnvorable position and to extend its IIsefulnC!!s. Sinee the death ot Joseph, it has again been an objcct of mistrllst to the Anstrian Government, The Constitution whieh the RllIl~arilln people have of lute extorted from Au.trit"s Emperor will, however, 'not f,lil once more to plunt Freemasonry within the boundaries flf that empire.

In view of this state of facts, yonr committee deem it within their province to define what is a 0, as settled nnd recognized within thii Grl\nd jurisdiction; and right here your committee recognize the comprehensiveness of the question, "What is a 0t" and when that question is propounded it very naturally sUjl:gests the inquiry, "In whllt sense is tile word 'lodge' used?" or, in other words, is reference hnd to n 0 in the orig-inal signification of that term before the recognition or estahlishment of chartered Cf!:J. or to a chllrtered O? Before the establishment (If Grand Cf!:J, which your committee !'ecognize as comparatively modern institutions, the answer could not havo been otherwise tllt\n given in the ancicnt charges !~nd reguh~tionB. viz,: "A place where ;\h.sons assemble and work." But since tho orgllniztltion of Gr,md Cfb, in whom is inalienably vested the goycrument and su[>el'illtcndcnce of the fraternity in their territorilll juri.diotioll';, and the recog-nition of a charter or dispens,~tion as the legal authority to eOlHtitute a 0, and withon~ which it is amI necessarily must be ebndestine, it becomes onr duty. in view of the solemn obligl\tion resting upon us, to "st>\I1d to amlILbide by tho By-Laws of the Grand 0 of the State of M.is"lUri" -to consider the ,;llme; nlld whilo these neCeBSl\ry laws may, to some extellt, conflict with our precollceiyeu opinions. formed by our constant hahit of reitcrnting nntI rehellrsillg tlw form,; and ceremonies of our Rneient Order, yet it becomes us to eonsillel' the rehltion of Gr.lml to Subordillllto Cf!:J. and not ussume l~ position which llt once sots ILt delll\nce tho recog-,.iy.",d head and nceeptell authority by which Bul,or,linllto Cfb hll\-O been constituted.

As to the ceremonies of a D, or tbe ritual, we presume there is no difference among the Cmft in this jurisdiction; but the question we are called upon to flDSWer is, "What constitutes a D T" which can only be created by the Orand D from which it derives its authority to use these ceremonies or that ritual and dispense true masonic light. In this view of the question, we call your attention to section 33 of article 16, on page 20 of our Constitution and By-Laws, which reads as follows: "No D shall be opened for the transaction of any business unless there be present at least seven Master ",rason8, nor shall a ballot or vote be taken upon any aubject whatever unless there be present seven members of the D." It will be ob'erved that this section embrac..s called or special meetings, as well as regu),lr stated meetings. Now, while the ancient or ritualistic teaching is that three Master Masons and four Enterll'l Apprentices constitute 0. 0 of Entered Apprentices, yet the veriest tyro in our work and lectures will not contend that Entered Apprentices are members of 0. el, or can serve as officers In it, even thongh the words" for the transaction of business," as contended for by some, ho.ve no reference to the work and lectures. Then how can it be ascertained that there are seven Master ~bsons present except In the only way known and recognized by Masonry. b~' regular reports throu~h the officers of the D! The idea of opening a D on the Entered Appn"ltice or Fellow Craft de~ree at special mcetings and closin~ on tho s!\me, withont first opeuing on thc Masters' degree, no doubt originated in the practice which obtained, apparently with the sanction of the Orand el, severul yenI's since, of calling off a D from a regular to !\ special mceting, which WIlS in e1fcct !\ continuation of the same conmmnnication; and having been in former times accnstomed to this practicc, we are loth to give it uJl. But article \I., section fI, of the By-Ll\wS prescribcs that .. the 0 must dose when the llkht fixed by law 5ha11 expire," and every communication, whether ~pecil\1 or ~t'lted, is ~eparnte and entiro within itself. Yonr committee are forced to tile eonc1n~ion, therefore, thnt, whether at a special or stated lIlectin~, a 0 must be fir.t opened on the Mllster )Ia~ons' de~ree, ill order to le.'Iull!/ Mcertain whether the re'lui~itc nnmber of lIlasler lIIasons i" prescn(,.

Resol'Oed, That no D shall be legally opened at either stated or special communi('.ation unless it is opened first in the Master Masons' degree, and if work is to be done or business transacted in either of the other degrees, labor on the Masters' degree must be dispensed with, and a D regularly opened on the degree in which the work is to be done. After the work in that degree is finished and the lecture appertaining to it is delivered, labor on that degree must be dispensed with; or, for information, the D closed and labor resumed on the Masters' degree, and the Masters' D then closed; pr011ided, that the same proceeding must be carried out in passing from the Entered Apprentice to the Fellow Craft or Fellow Craft to Entered Apprentice, as the occasion may require. Resolved, That all Masons within this Grand jurisdiction ure hereby absolutely prohibited from appearing in public drinking saloons iu their masonic clothing; and any :Mason thus offending shall be disciplined by the W in ,vhose jurisdiction he may reside.

The Committee on Chartered Câ&#x201A;ŹJ rendered the following report, which was ad.>pted : Your Committee on CharteNd t:eJ beg leave to make the following report: We have examined the returns of the following Eâ&#x201A;ŹJ. and find that they are correct, and have paid their dues, to-wit. :-N08. I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19,20,21,22, 28, 24,2;>,26,27,28,29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 84,85,36,87,38, 39, 40, 41. 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47,48,49,50,63, 54, 5i),~56, 57, 68, 69, 60, 61, 62, 68, 64, 65, 66, 68, 71, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 90, 91, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 100, 101, 10"2, 103, 1()'!, 105, 106, 109, Ill, 113, 116, 117, 121, 122, 87, 89, 125, 126, 127, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138, 139, 141, 142, 1411, 146, 149, 150, 151, 1M, 156, 157, 159, 162, 163, 164, 16i), 168, 171,172, 174, 175, 176, 178,179, 181, 182, 183, 185, 1f/9, 190, 191, 192, Hl3, IOl, 196,198, 199,201,202,209,210,213,214,215,218,220,221,222,225, 2'21l, 2'27, 228, 230, 233, 234, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 24l, 243, 244, 245, 246. The following are correct, but the dues have not beeu paid, to-wit. : Nos. 18,70,229. Incorrect, and have not paid dues: No. 206. We notice that Weston 0, No. 58, rejected a candidate for thll mysteries of Masonry twice in the space of four months. Your committee consider this work a gross outrage on the usages and customs of our Order, aud recommend the D. D. Grand ~I!\Ster to visit Weston 0 and instruct them in the law of this Grand 0; and if sucll conduct be repeated to arrest their charter. Rocheport D, No. 67, sends up its returns without the signature of the Worshipful Master. Sullivan 0, No. 69, sends up its ret:urns without the signatures of the officers, without date and without seal. Under the head .. Admissions" no name is written, the Secretary making a note that there is " not enough room . on the blank to write th&m. " Your committee can not too strongly censure such neglect on the part of officers of a 0. We call it neglect, because we

172

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

[Oct.

believe no Mason can be so i~oorant of the law as to think such conduct is right. The returns of Danville 0, No. 72, are not signed by the Secretary nor . attested by the seal. We find that some of the l:ib have done what we consider too much workin fact have run their machines by steam. For instance, Eureka 0, No. 78, has in the space of nine months initiated thirtY:five, passed twenty-six and raised twenty-five. Versailles 0, No. 117, has initiated twenty-nine, passed twenty-JIve and raised twenty-five. This makes one hundred and .ixty-five del{rees conferred by two r£]. Who will say that this is not too much work! Allowing the material to be Rood, we are ptill of the opinion that it is too much work. No can do its duty to a candidate when its doors are continually crowded with clamorous seekers for the degrees. Everything is rush, rush, rusb, to the exclusion of the time that should be devoted to the instruction of the newly made Mason. Better make a few Masontl than many things. It is no excuse to answer that it is .. good material." Many of the r£] make returns without having the same attested by the seal of the 0, and without any note of the Secrett\ry stating there is no seal. We mention this matter here, hoping that it may meet the eyes of the officers of l:ib, so that hereafter such irregularities may be avoided. Your committee have had before them the By-Laws of a great number of ~. and we find it impossible to make a detailed report of every case in the time allotted us for making this report; in fact to do so would require the undivided time of your committee for at least three months. We have, therofore, concluded to make report of some of the most striking errors we have met with. We find in a large majority of the By-Laws submitted to us a clauAe suspendinlt a brother for failing to pay dues for a specifted time, and in others depriving him of the right to vote or hold office when in arrears to a certain amount. Your committee consider these provisi?ns subversive of the principles of Masonry and of the rights of Masons. We hold that no Mason can be deprived of any right without due process of law-that is, ·~harges, notice, trial, and a chance to be heard in his defense-and that the right to vote and hold offiee are inalienable rights to every Mason who does not stand suspended or expelled. We, therefore, offer the following:

Resolved, That the Subordinatel:ib having such provisiona in their ByLaws be, and they are hereby, required to eXI;unge the same.

We also find provisions making it the duty of the Master of the 0 to order an election for officen, provided they shall fail to hold their election on the day named in their By-Laws; also requiring the petition of a Master Muon for membenhip to lie over one year after being rejected. We consider these provisions contrary to our well established law and usage, and would recommend the adoption of the following:

Reaolved, That Subordinate CEJ having such provisions in their By-Lawl be, and they are hereby, required to expunge the same. Your committee recommend that the action of the M. W. Grand Master Vincil, in arresting the charter of Lafayette 0, No. 82, be approved and made final by this Grand D. Your committee recommend that the action of the Grand Master in granting a dispensation to Chapman 0, No. !l5, in New Mexico, to remove, be approved and made final by this Grand D. Your committee recommend that the petition of the membet'll of late Neosho c:J, No. 81, be ,~ranted, and that the charter be restored to them as prayed for in the petition. The old number of the 0 having been taken by some other 0, we recommend that the same namB be retained and a different number be supplied, and that the jewels and property of said c:J be restored, if in the possession of the Grand D. Your committee recommend that the petition of the brethren of late Golden Square 0, No. 107, for a restoration of their charter, be granted as prllyed for in their petition, and that the jewels and other property of the 0, if in the possession of the Grand 0, be restored to said 0 ; and also tbat the same action be bad in case of the petition of It\te Yancey 0, No. 148. The resolution offered by Bro. Wheeler, Master of Linn 0, No. 66, which was referred to your committee, providing for the return of the dues of said 0, we recommend be rejected, as it would be establishing a precedent by which this Grund 0 would be called upon to aid every 0 in this jurisdiction in building halls. and would soon drain the Grand Treasury of the last cent. Your committee also recommend that the petition of the former members of Compass 0, No. loW, be granted, and that the charter be restored, with the property of the 0, if in the possession of the Grand d. During the war the 0 room of Papinsvil1e 0, No. 149, was destroyed by fire, and their charter, jeIVeh. &e., lost. The former members ask for a duplicate {路hurter. lind authority to commence work under it. We reeom.mend that the prl\yer of the petitioners be granted. The committee hllve information from the representative from Bloomfield X o. 153, tlll\t the rtlturns from the 0 arc incorrect. Some who are reported as members have joined other CEJ, some are dead, and some have been cxpellel1. "'.e rtlcommend thnt the returns be sent back to the 0, with instrnctiolls to tho officers to mnke out nnd send to the Gund Secretnry a correct li~t of the lIlembtlrs.

rhe Committee on Grievance rendered report, which, being amended, was adopted as follows: To the M. TV. Grand 0 of the State of MU'OUrl: The Committee on Grievance beg leave to report that they have carefully examined all the cases brou~ht before them, and beg leave to make the following report: In the Cl\se of Chas. West's appeal from the decision of St. Joseph 0, No. 78 : tbis case involves the question of tbe right of a to expel a Mason for nonpayment of dues. This question has been often decided, that a Mason can not be expelled for the non-payment of dues, and in accordllnce with this decision we recommend this case be remanded back to St. J osepb 0, No. 78, for its action, to be amenaed in accordance with tbe law. The caso of Bro. L. F. Weimer's appeal from the action of Zeredatha 0, No. 189, involves this one question of law, viz.: If a Bro. inform a candidate who has been black-balled of the names of the committee, or any action had in the case, be is guilty of unmasornc conduct, and should be punished. In the appelll of R. Lowry from the decision of Bucklin 0, No. 233, we recommend the action of the be confirmed. In the case of Agency 0, No. 10, asking that the Grand 0 define tbe law regulating dimits, )'our committee would say tbat a dimit is legal evidence

of the~ood standing of the brother who receives it; and if a dimit be refused by the 0, they alone being the judges, this Grand body hils no right to interfere; and that in the case presented by Agency 0, No. 10, it wiII take notice and govern itself accordingly. In the appeal of Thia. from the action of Pride of the West 0, No. 179, y:lUl' committeee have come to the conclusion thnt in the trial of this case the did not extend to Thias that right that all M. l!asons have to be present when their rights are assailed. And in this cnse, where the charge is not of a character to demand immediate action, we think that the petition of Thias for a postponement of the trial should have been granted. Your committee are of opinion that the penalty (expulsion) under the circumstances is greater than the offense demands, and would recommend that the cnse be remanded back to the for another hearing. In the appeal or Geo. Pearson from King Solomon 0, No. 90, we recommend the IIppeal to be dismissed anel the action of the confirmed. In the complaint (If the Mast('r of <.Jhamois 0, No. 185, against Hermllnn 0, No. 12:3, for infringement of jurisdiction in receiving and acting upon the petition of a candidate f(lr the mysteries of Masonry who lived nearer <.Jhaffiois than Hermann, without having obtained the neceSSllry permission from said Chamois 0, your <.Jommittee would recommend the ad<l'ption of the following:

RC8o[/Jca, That for the violation of sllch a well-known law, Hermann 0, No. 123, be, and is hereby, repriml\nded; and, further, thnt Hermann 0, No. 123, be, and is hereby, required to apologize to <.Jhamois 0, No. 18o, surrendering at the same time to Ohamois the Drother illegally initillted Rnd passed. A repetition of this offense will merit the suspension or arrest of the thus offending.

In th" appeal of K. A. Fawble, the appeal should be dis, lissed and the action of the CJ confirmed. In the memorial of Middlebury, requesting Sam'l Shook be restored to his masonic priviIe~es, we recommend that the prayer De not granted. lR the appeal of Wll~. 1I. Mallderfield against the decision of Montezuma 0, No. 109, we recommend that the decision of the be reversed.. In the appeal of Martin S.

In the appeal of Aaron Brown, a member of Harmony 0, No. G1, South Carolina, against the decision of Rolla 0, No. 213, your committee consider that the action of thllt D, in expeIling said Brown, was rigbt anlllLltogether 1"egular, and we recommend that the action of Rolla be sustlLined and the appeal dismissed.

ST. LoUI8, October 4, 1867. ?l'o tlt.e M. W Grand d oj M'l88m1f'l : The undersigned begs leave to report tbe following relative to our. Southern brethren and their families, who were suWering for the necessaries of life. By consultation with our M. W. Grand Master, it WII8 deemed proper to make an appeal to our brethren for contr;butions for the Southern suWerers, to be expended for their relief, in addition to the funds that were being raised by oUler organizations of our citizens, and consequently, in March and April, I decided that the most practical manner of bringing this question before the Craft was to appeal to them through the Freema.toll, and through the same to keep the bt-ethren informed of what was being done. As the result of that appeal in our own State, and of the appeal of our masonic contemporaries in other States, from which I have received contributions, I submit the following statement: BBCBIPTll-KI880UBI.

Many of the contributing C€J gave the last dollar they had in the treasury, besides individuRI collections, and but very Cew of them are able to own the hall in which they meet, thWl evincing in their donations that the hearts of our brethren are keenly sensible to the appeals of distress.

Vi~e:

SIB ..lND BROTHER-It is expected of your deputies to give a report of their doings mllSonically, and report the condition of the Craft in their respective districts, since the meeting of the M. W. Grand 0; and although much more time hIlS elapeed since its last communication than usual, I have but little to rllport from this the First Masonic District. My engagements for the PlISt seventeen months have been such that nothing short of absolute necessity could induce me to leave home: and, except in one or two instances, such necessity has not existed, for the Craft, so far IIS.I know, are harmonious and prosperous. I visited Etna 0, No. 42, on the 23d of lune, 1866, and consecrated their hall, installed their officers, and set them to work under their charter. I also visited Des Moines 0, U. D., at Athens, Mo., and set them to work under their dispensation granted by you. I have visited Wyaconda 0, No. 24, Monticello 0, No. 58, and Canton 0, No. 100, all exceilent working C£:J, haVing a line membership. I also visited Palmyra 0, No. 18, soon after they took possession of their new hall, being my first visit to that excellent 0; and, while I would draw no invidious distinctions between C£:J in my district, I must say of Palmyra l:J that it hIlS but few equals. I met a large number of enthusillStic brethren in one of the neatest and most tll8tefuUy arranged halls I ever visited. I mention this principally for the reason that such good taste and commendable pride in a good deserves it, and hope to do something in inspiring an emulation in that direction. Whilst Masonry discards ostentation and extravagance, it certainly does dema,·d of its votaries decency and good order; and to the shame of most of our country C£:J, they are content to meet in rooms wholly unfit, and too dirty to command any respect. It was a saying in school, when I was a boy, " Children could be neat and clean, let them be ever so poor." Cun not our C£:J be so, too! Many questions of masonic law arise in the various districts, but your accessibi1\ty to this has placed it in the power of myself and others to consult you, and llave your decision, so that I know of nothing of any importance to comml.luicnte for the future, except to indulge the hope that the high standard ot morality inaugurated by your predeccssor, and so forcibly inculcnted

by you, may continue to animate the Craft, and we be built up morally as well as numerically and intellectually; for the Muon who supposes its sole mission is to feed the poor, clothe the naked and relieve the distressed, has fallen far short of the great lessons intended to be taught. I am sorry my engagements are such I can not attend the meeting of the Grand Cl on the 14th inst. ]'raternally fOUrs,

M. W. and RetI. John D. Vincil, Grand Master, St. Louis: DJIAR BROTHEB-I hereby submit the fonewing report for the Second Muonic District: Since the meeting of the Grand Cl I have visited the following C£J: La Plata, No. 237: Greencastle. No. 21; Macon, No. 106: Hartford. No. 171 ; Unionville, No. 210; Putnam. No. 190: Seaman, No. 126; McGee, No. U6. I installed the oflicer8 of the first two named, and set them to work under charters granted by the last Grand D. I aill happy to say that these C£J are all in a healthy condition; they are doing a fair amount of work-morals good, finances easy. The other C£J in thi~ District 1 have not thought it necessary to visit, having received a good report from them. In my visit through the District 1 found 600ial feeling existing: and, as an instance o.f tbl> .zeal manifested. one brother, B. D. Morrison, W. M. of Seaman Cl, rode twenty-five miles through the scorCHing sun of an August day to meet me at Putnam D. He is a sterling craftsman and a zealous Muon. Your Edict has been forwarded to each Cl in this District, and, so far as my knowledge extends, has been strictly obeyed. In obedience to your order, I took pOill!CS8ion vi the books and money of the late Lancaster Cl. No. 50, and fvrwnrded same to Gr~nd Secretary. The prosperous condition of the Craft in the Second District is my excuse for the brevity of tllis report. Notwithstanding tills pr03pcrity, I can not conclude without expre!sing my regret I\t an evil too common among Masons which seems hard to check, and that is profanity. Many fOI'get tf~.fi1'8t ef,a1,!!' of their duty to their Crtlator. Hoping this evil may no longer continue, and th$t MlUIOllS everywhere may strive for that purity of life, so that the)' may be fitted and prepared for an entrance into the Grand Lodge abovtl, I subscribe Ul)'self, Yours fraternally, W. T. BAIRD, D. D. GI'and Master Second Masonic IJistrict.

Your" edict" was sent to all the C£J in the district, and I believe has been generally complied with.

&11. John D. VincU, M. Jv. Grand Ma8ter: DEAR BRoTHJ:ll-I submit herewith my report lIS your D. D. Grand Master for this district during the past year and a half, commencing June 4th, 1866. Jun~ fOth-I vbited Pride of the West D, No. 179, to settle some differences that had arisen among the members in the absence of the W. M. Bro. Garrett, who was then absent from the State. My visit resulted in restoring harmony to this large and prosperous D. JU1t~ .l?6th-Visited Wentzville, and set Wentzville D, No. 46, to work under their charter, aDd dedicated their hall and addressed the brethren, after which the members and visitors partook of a fine collation provided by the ladies. I feel satisfied that, with such officers lIS 1 installed, Wentzville D is destined to occupy an enviable position. Jun~ .l?7th-Vtsited Polar Star D, No. 19, relative to a resolution that had been introduced, contemplating a more restricted religious belief on the part of petitioners than that laid down by the Landmarks, and was pleased to see that the W. M., Bro. Defriez, held the same views lIS myself, and ruled the resolution out of order, in which decision I most heartily concurred, and addressed the 0 upon the great danger of allowing the introduction of any religious tests tending to disturb the harmony of the Fraternity. I hold that any religious qualification beyond a belief in the one true and living God is contrary to masonic usage, and dangerous to the welfare of our Order. Jum .l?8th-Visited Naphtali D, No. 25, and found the 0 harmonious, and the records well kept. July 4th-Opened Grand D in the hall of Good Hope 0, No. 218, Caron-

July 1,#1t-Visited Pride of the West D, and presided at a trial, in which a member was expelled. Decided that all papers and documents used at a trial were the property of the D, and must be deposited with the archives. Also decided that one of their by-laws, which compelled an Entered Apprentice or Fellow Craft to wait throo months after passing a satisfactory examination before a ballot could be had and he advanced, was contrar)' to the law of the Grand D, which had in its wisdom defined a shorter period, unless masonic objection was raised. Augu.~t 1st-Again visitod the same 0, lind corrected their manner of keeping ~he records. Aug~t .;t1t-By your order suspended the Seniur Warden of slime CJ from his office, on account of chsrges and specifications against him, and cited him to appear before the Grand D for examiflation, and issued directions to the Junior Warden, Bro. Wm. P. Mullen, to take charge of the charter in the abllenlJO of the W onhipful Master and govern the w. August 13th-By your order I opened the Grand Cl of Missouri to perform the last sad rites of our Order over the mortal remains of our late brother, R. W. Anthony O'Sullivan, who died of cholera, August n, at half past nine o'clock, A.. M. I had 8Ilt up with him during the night of bis attack, and witncssed the death of the yenerable and gifted Grand Secretary of Mi880uri.

Bro. Erastus Wells, Grand Marshal, and a large concourse of Masters, Wardens and brethrlln. In view of the greater ability nnd past services of M. W. Bro. Cornwell, I invited him to perform the funeral services, which he did. The more complete report of this sad ceremony, with resolutions of esteem, will be found i.n the printed proceedings of that special Illellting. AI&gllst e.#I~-OJI this day, of cholera, departed the life of our 'V. Grand PlIrsuivnnt, Bro. Hampton Woodruff, through whose sickm,ss I attended, nnd witnessed the triumph of the sublime principles of our profession. With his death went out a pure aud noble light of our Order. He WIlS buried with masonic honors, which were his due. From this time forth to the end of the epidemic I visi~ed our Cib aud nssisteu them in their devotions to the sick nnd the dead, Ilnd can mo.t truly attest to as heroic adherence to duty bv the members of the frllternity as WIlS ever witnessed among a blUld of brothers.

March Ilat-Visited Meridian D, No.2 (German), to carry out your instructions relative to the trial of' Bro. Wissman I did not find the brethren &8 fnlly imbued with the spirit of' obedience and harmony as could be desired, but did find the officers and members desirons of learni!lg thA law and their duty, and the determination on the paDt of' the Master to enforce his orders against the unruly, and I am pleased to state that harmony prevails. There is conAiderable division of' opinion among the members of' this D as to the propriety of' continuing to do their work in German. I directed that the record should be kept in English for the use of the Grand D. May 10th--'-I set Orient Francais D to work' undel: your dispensation, in the hall of Pride of the West 0, Tenth and Carr streets. June lIst-Visited Beacon D, No.8, and exemplified the third degree.

that oCClL8ion. .At this point I would recommend that St. Charles county, with Warren, Montgomery and Lincoln counties, be created into a separate district, ILS that district, with the seventh, thus divided, will furnish all the work which can be properly attended to by two D. D. Grand MlLSters. I can not avoid confirming the recommendation of my predeceBBors, that St. Louis county, with its great number of L(b, should be a district by itself, and it even then would alford more work than can be properly fulfilled.

July 19th-Visited Palestine D, No. 241, St. Charles, and conferred the work in tbe Fellow Craft degree, and in&tructed the brethren in the law. Found everything in good order, the members harmonious, and the W. M., Bro. J. H Alexander, very efficient.

Owing to the heavy demands upon my time on account of increased official duties since I first entered upon this office, has precluded my ability to visit Bridgeton, No. 80, Mt.

For the good of MlLSOnry, and in order that we n",y have more watchmen upon the "outer walls" against bad material, I have recommeuded to the Grand D the organization of Aurora D, U.

DEAR SIR AlID BBoTHlCR-I herewith beg leave to submit my report as D. D. Grand. Master of the Ninth Masonic District, for the term ending the second Monday in October, 1867. Having visited most of the Ci!:J in my dis路 trict late in the spring of 1866, and beinl': very bW!y attending my .. daily IIBlIOciatlons," I hope I will be excused for not visiting them again 80 soon, and not having done 80, will leave me with a very short report to make. On the - of June, 1866, I met with West View CI, No. 108, at. Millersville, Cape Girardeau county, M(). Installed their officers and set. them to work under their new charter, and on the 29th of December, Itltl6, again met with them. Installed their officers and exemplified the work and lectures of the three degrees. They have a good CI, and are doing good work. Finances in a healthy condition. On the 28th of December, 1866, I met with, installed the officera and exemplifl.ed the work in Mystic Tie D, No. 221, Oak Ridge, Oape Girardeau. They have a good 0, are doing good work, have a good hall, aud finances healthy. Your edict Wfl~ receivlld, "nd one maned immediately to each Cl in my dilltrict, and I receiveil a letter from each, under leal of Cl, stating that it had been received by them and read in open Cl at their next regular communication aller its reception, and all statin~ they were in a prosperous condition; and, as far as I am able to learn, Masonry is prOllpering throughout my district.

M. W. John D. Vincil, Grand Master: DEAR SlB-I have the honor to present a report of my oillclal acts since the last ,tated commnnication of the M. W. Grand o. Not being able personally to attend to the installation of the officers of Sullivan 0, No. 69, I requested W. J. G. Anderson, Past Master of Lebanon 0, No. 77, to perform that duty for me, which he reported as having done on Saturday, August 4, 1866. He comments highly on the condition of thill new o. Since that time the 0 bas built a suitable and commodious hall, which is a satisfactory proof of the deep interest the members take in the cause of Masonry.

I could I met the brethren, opened the 0, presided at an election oC officers, installed tbem, and in due Corm restored to them. their charter. The 0 thus reorganized began under favorl\ble auspices, each member emulous only oC good. On the 24th oC last June, the CJ <-oelebrated St. John's day in a highly creditable and worthy manner. An eloquent and interesting oration was delivered on the occasion by Bro. G. W. Pomeroy, of Rolla D. I have not visited Hermann 0, No. 123, this.Year; but, in accordance with the request of that 0, I authorized W. Bro. Josepb KOIISler to dedicate their new hllll, which was duly done on the 12th of June, 1866, W. Bro. Griswold, of Evergreen D, No. 27, assisting. I visited officially and by request Pacific 0, No. 169, last November, exemplified the work and inspected the records. The bad made l\ change in the office of secretary-Bro. Yor1c, Past Secretary, bayine: been placed in anotber position. I was inclined to the belief that the change had not redoul1ded. to the advantage oC the D. By speoial invitation I participated in the highly creditable celebration of the 27th December by that 0, and was deeply impressed with the hospitality and liberality of its members.

째

I received a dispensation Cor a new 0, to he called" Texas 0," at Houston, Texas county. Hl\ving an appointment with Pl\cific D, I authorized W. Thos. Nevin, Master of Rolll\ 0, to set this new at work, which he llid on the 2ith Decemher, in due Corm. He reports Masons in that vicinity as zealous and having the prosperity of the Order at heart.

I received a dispensation Cor a 0 at Washington, Franklin county, to be named" Hope 0," whicl1 I Corwarded to W. W. R. Bibb, Master of Pacific 0, requesting him to act as my deputy. The 0 was accordingl.v instituted in due Corm. His report of affairs was very fl\vorable, and from my own knowledge I am satistied Hope C will sustain itsl'lf. A dispensation for a new 0 at Union, Franklin county. was forwarded to me last spring. I at once deputized Bro. Bibb to set the brethren at work, which he did on the 19th of last April. This has a good district, and 1 think wiII pr08per. Rolla 0, No. 213, continues to prosper; the work is good and the record faithfully kept. St. James' 0, No. 230, evinces l\ determination to sustain the high position she first assumed. Her finances are in healthy condit.ion, and the members have subscribed liberally towl\rd a flne and large hall, which is now in course ot erection. The record is ably and thoroughly kept. Chamois 0, No. 186, I have been .informed, is ft\1orably progressing. The CJ is out of debt, and is having work. Masonry in that district is, I believe, i.. 8afe keeping. Evening Star 0, No. 94, is now prospering and awakening from its former lethargic state. The Worahipful Master, Bro. Licklider, is all energetic

Lebanon 0 is, I am well convinced, tn good hands; consequently the interests of tbat 0 I!llldom suffer.

A D in that section will certainly be able io sustain itself. I received copies of your Edict, .which, in accordance with instructions, I duly distributed. It affords me pleasure to add, in conclusion, that lIasonry in the Eleventh District is not deteriorating; on the contrary, I believe it to be steadily increasing in influence and power, wbile the growth of the several Cib in membership and usefulne8.~ is steady and healthy.

M. W. and Rev. John D. Vincil, Grand MastC'J':

I herowith present my report of official acts as D. D. Grand Master of the Twelfth District. On the 13th d.\y of June, 1866, I ~onsecrl\ted and dedicated Tipton D, No. 56, and installed their officers. This D is doing well, and has set an example worthy of imitation by older Cib. During the first year of its existence it has erected a fine lmll, which was dedicated last month by R. W. W. E. Dunscomb, District Grand Master, and in which the 0 is now holding its meetings. June Iii, 1866, set to work Dresden 0, under dispeneation, at Dresden, Pettis county. From thtl nge and intellit:;ence of the brethren, I doubt not that they will build up a good 0 at that place. Being unable to attend in person to nil the duties devolving upon me in my di!trict, I appointed Bro. B. E. Morrow, Past Mnster, my proxy, to set to work Warrensburg D, under dispensation, which wns done by him on the 25th day of June, ]866. On the lith of April, 1867, I visited Warrensburg r.:J, and exemplified the work in the three degrees. The brethren had the

misfortune or having their hall destroyed by fire, by which they lost all their furniture, but they now hold their meetings in a very flne and commodious hall-in fact, I know of no safer or better hall in the State. There are quite a number of Masons in Warrensburg, aDd the old members of the late Johnson o are anxious to revive the same-in other worde, to have two Gb in Warrensburg. I have taken ~eat pains to investigate this whole matter on the ground, and am satisfled that it will be to the interest of the Craft in that place and vicinity to grant the prayer of the petitioners and establish two t:e:J in that place. The space allotted for a report of this kind forbids me /{iving the reasons here; I have, consequently, only stated my conclusion. September 15, 1866, I visited Versailles 0, and conferred the third degree and exemplified the work; and on the 16th of March, 1867, I altain vi&ited this o and conferred the third degree. The recordll of the CI are well kept, and its inances are in a healthy condition. On the 23d of October, 1866, I approved a petition from Bros. McDowell, Carter and others to you lOr permiS8ion to open a lIChool of instruction in the hall of Jelferson CI, No. 43. I am happv to report that the brethren in Jef路 ferson City profited greatly ~y this school, and I hope during the coming winter that many l:ib will avail themselves of the privilege of establishing these echools of instruction, as they are the best means yet devised for learning the work. On the 19th of January, 1867, I again availed myself of the kind services of Bro. B. E. Morrow, and appointed him to set to work the brethren of Pittsville 0, under dispensation, which he did, and made favorable report of the same to me. On the 29th of March, 1867, I received from the office of the Grand Secretary the edict issued by you as Grand Master, and, although not approving of the same in all its details, I considered it my duty to obey it, and immediately mailed to all the l:ib in my dis~ict a copy of the eame, ordering the Worshipful ~ter to report to me that the !arne was enforced in his o. 80 far as I have been able to learn, the edict has been obeyed in every 0 in this district, but in most, if not every instance, under the private protest of the Trustees and Wa.."'dens of the different Cfb. On the 22d of June, Bro. John A. Pigg, Past Master, under appointment from me, set to work Green Rid.a;e CI, under dispensation, in Pettis county, and made favorable report to me of the prospect of the brethren building up a good CI in that place. On July 4, Bro. Jas. E. Carter set to work Hickory HiIl 0, under dispensation, in Cole county. His report to me was that he thought we would 800n have a good 0 at Hickory Hill, &8 the bretheren were zealous and well-posted for a new D.

I was not able to visit all the C2J. and 1 doubt if a man can be found in the district who would be able to do so. without neglectiD~ his own private business to a great extent. This district is one hundred and twentylive miles in length, bv a width of from sevent.y-ftve to one hundred miles, and contains twenty-twu C2J. and more are constantly being orgRnized. This extent of territory is too great for one man to t1"livel over and give that attention to the CEb and the work that the law requires him to give, unless he devote his whole time and attention to it, and I imagine would not be asked of a brother by this Grand D I hope (for the benefit of my successor) that the territory comprising this district will be reduced. I wish to say, for the benefit of Jour successor (be he yourself or some other brother) tho.t, haviol!: served as D. D.

Upon the receipt of your order I did, on the 13th of December, 1866, visit Walnut Grove, and Bet to work O'Sullivan 0, U. D. In March I visited Rising Star 0, No. 145, and exemplified the work, and gave the lectures in all the degreeB ; and, finding the brethren very anxious to 1<>l\rn, I stayed with them six dayB, after which they Bent one of their seven members (BI'o. J. T. Walker) to my house t~ stay until he learned the lectures and work thoroughly, so that after their annual election I think that o will be in better condition than it ever has been since it was organized. There bas alwayB been great harmony among the brethren of that 0, but they have never been as bright as they Bhould have been, neither in the work, lectures nor masonic law. I am happy to report that they are making favorable progress in all.

227

On Tuesday, the 13th day of August last, I visited Laclede D, No. 87, and remained with them during the balance of the week. On Wednesday, the 14th, I dedicated their new hall, which is the nicest and most convenient one in the district. I instructed the brethren in the work and lectures until I think they are now able to do the work in a creditable manner; and, under tbe guidance of that sterling Mason, Bro. Josiah !vey, I think it will yet be an ornament to the Grand el. The following week I visited Weston el, and labored with the hrethren until Thursday. With the brethren, peace, harmony and good fellowship prevail in this D in an eminent degree. At the last comm'Juil".a.tion of O'Sullivan el, U. D., I visited the brethren, and found them to be doin~ their work thoroughly and well. The outer door is well guarded, and they require of the brother, before advancing, that he should learn l i L the work and lectures, and, as a consequence, they have the brightest el in tbe district. I would recommend that a charter be granted them, feeling sure tbat where Bro. Coltrane (the W. M.) is there will Freemasonry prosp~r. I staid but one night with them, because I did not think it necessary. Of United el, No.5 (of which I am Master), I can say that she guards well the outer door, and that her charity" knows no bounds." She is yet poor, partly from the effects of war and partly by the losses she has sustained bV aiding individual brethren, who were unfaithful to the trust reposed in them j but I hope that tl.uing the next year the 0 will be able to make its intluence felt for good. I would Fccommend that a new el be formed here for the following reasons: United el now numbers 105 members, with enough on the way to make about 120, whieh is too large a number for one c:J; besides our countr.y is settling up very fast, and a great many Masons are settling in the vicinity of this el, but there being so many members already, they prefer to wait until after the meeting of the Grand D to see if we get another charter. Haa not this been the case we would, no doubt, by this time have numbered one hundred and seventj路-five. There are also other reasons, which I do not care to write, but will fully explain to the M. W. Grand el at its next meeting. I am now holding C拢J of instruction two nights in the week, and some of the brethren are taking great interest in them, and learning the work and lectures with hearty good will.

I have now, in as short a manner as possible, given you a history of my operations since the Grand el last met, and will close by wishing you individually the most perfect happiness and success in this life. Fraternally yours, MARTIN J. HUBBLE, D. D. Grand MtUter Fifteenth Malonic Diltrict.

To the IIf. W. John D. Vincil, ('/1'ond Mastcr of A., F. and A. Masons of the State of Missouri: DIt.\R SIR AND BROTlll':lt-In obedience to the requirements of the lMv, I herewith present to yon a report of my doings liS D. D. Grand Master for the Sb:t~~n~h District for the !,aSL fourteen months, which is (owing to the few l:ÂŁ:J in my district and ollicinl aets performed) necessarily briei. In making this, my annual report, I can not but express my gratitude to the Rultr 01 the Universe for his watchfnl care over the Craft in this jurisdiction dul'ing the past year. lIany things, unnecessary to be stated herein, have pre\'ented me from attending to the business of the office satisfactorily to myself. At the time when I had made my arrangements to visit the l:ÂŁ:J in the distri t I had sickness in my family, in consequence of which, I\nd my own state of iiI health, I have been prevented from carrying that arrangement into effect, and herewith report my action to you. I being unable to visit Aztec D, und<r dispensation, in person, Bro. Wm. L. Rynerson, llo Pllost Master, was commissioned by me, llond he; having received the letter of dispensation, set the D to work, g!ving it snch instructions as were deemed necessary, by m~'self, to pursue the labor of love, who hns reported to me thl\t he discharged that duty on the 29th of December, 1866. I would here state that the D is pleasantly locnted, the officers having procurecl a good hall, and furnished it as well as could be expected for the present. Tl;e dimensions of the hall and ante-rooms nrc as follows: Hall, 88x18 feet; hight of stor:y, 11 feet; ante-rooms, each 18x8 feet; hight, 11 feet; well vedtilated and carpeted; all of which nre safe and secure. I have not inspected the records and By-Laws, but have been informed by Bro. D. J. lIiller, Secretary of Montezuma D, that the,r arc in good condition, as the work has becn begun undcr favorable circumstances. They have done but little work-been cautious, and the momls good. I would respectfully recommend that a. charter be granted. In the case of Bent D, which surrendered its charter, and of which I gaye full particulars in my report of 1866, I would state that, as yet, I have been unable to get a deed to the real estate for the Grand 0, but have been assured by Colonel C. St. Vrain (a few dlloYs since), who was formerly a resident of Taos and a member of Bent D, that he would ill II short. time visit Tuos, and that he would certainly haye the busines~ promptly attended to, and forward to me the proper deeds. The jewels, &c., stiIl remain in my possession. The furniture 11l1S not been disposed of, being of but little value. I hope the time is not far distant when the brethren of Ben~ D will be gathered together and

ask a return of their charter and resume their labor. In accordance witD. the authority granted me by the Grand Master in 1865, I have granted no dimits during the past year to any of the members oflate Bent 0, but have referred them to the Grand Secretary for dimits. Chapman 0, No. 95, is doing well, but admits none but those worthy. The work is good, and the recods well kept. The Secretary, Bro. George W. Stebbins, is an excellent officer, and to his zenl the is mainly indebted for its prosperity. The most of the work for the paet :rear has been done by the Benior Warden and Junior Warden, owing to the absence of the Worshipful Master. The officers of this were installed October 10, 1866, on which occasion there was a full attendance It was impracticable to get CbRpman 0, No. 95, to work ani! install the officers at an earlier date, it being impossible to get a of Past Masters together to confer the Past Master's degree on Bro. M. Bloomfield, 'N. M. of Chapman 0, who complained to the Grand ~ec retary, and he addressed me on the subject under date of September 24, 1867, which communication I answered promptly, and hope that it explained everythin~ satisfactorily. I met the brethren of Chapman 0, No 95, on the evening of July 8, 1867. A special communication was called at my request on the evening of that day. The Secretary of the had, on thnt dliy, received a communication from the Grand )[aster in reference to the moving of Chapman from Fort Union to Los VegM, a town in the county of S,m )liguel, and distant from Fort Union, b)' the traveled road, abont twenty-eight miles (the distance in an air line I do not know). The communiclltion of the Grand ~faster, in answer to our's addres,ed to him, under date of}Iay 27, was received. I at once expressed my views to the brethren present on the subject, and advised them, in accordance with'the views of the Grand Master, as exprellSed in his communication, to proceed at once to move to Los Veg!\8, There was a committee appointed for that purpose. I joined the said committee at Los Vegas, on the 13th of July, and assisted them in procuring a safe alld suitable uilding for a 0, reception rooms, &c. I examined the records'of tho 0, found them correct, and exemplified work to such of the officers as were present. The dimensions of the 0 are as follows: Hall, 34x17 filet; hight, 10 feet; reception room, 17xlli feet; preparation room, 9x'j feet; T.rler's room, 10x9 feet; all ten feet in hight. The is pleasl\ntly loeatlld, well furnighed and ventilated, and very comfortable. I could make but a short stay with Chapman 0, as business required my immediate return to my home in Santa Fe. Montezuma 0, of which I am a member, and of which I have had the honor, 118 well as the pleasure, of being W(lrshipful Master for two years, is in a flourishing add prosperous condition. Morals very good, having a fuir number or members, us you will see by the report of the Secretary. W. Bro. W. W Griffin, the able and accomplished Mason and gentleman, is the Master. Peace and harmony prevuil to a great degree among the brethren. The Secretary,

APPENDIX.

'Bro. David J. Miller, is an able officer, and to his zeal and efficiency the 0 is greatly indebted. I will say further, that in my humble opinion there are no G!:l within the jurisdiction of the Grana 0 ofMi880uri that have more at heart, or try to labor hariler for the good of our Order, than Montezuma 0 and her sister G!:l in this Territory. From the best il}formntion that I can obtain, there are now about one hundred and eighty Masons within my jurisdiction, all of whom (with but few exceptions) are affiliated, and those few probably so.:n will be. Our 80uthern Relief Fund has not been as I uge as we could have wished it but we responded to the cry for help to the utmost of our means. We have raised among the fraternity in my jurisdiction, and forwarded, through the Grand Secretary (less the necessary expense of exchange), $1,130, for the purpose referred to, being an average Mntribution of $6 27 from each resident Mason in New Mexico. May our contributions be of much benefit to the destitute, is our heartfelt prayel. Our ofticial relatiops havipg now closed for the past masonic year, I must tender to you my sincere thanks for the uniform courtesy and kindness with which I have been treated, and further for my appointment'as D. D. Grand lIaster for the I:)ixteenth Masonic District. With my best wishes for your prosperity and happiness, and for tne fraternity at large, I remain, respectfumy and fraternally, Your friend and brother, R FRANK GREEN. D. D. G. M. Sixteenth Maaonic District, N. M. SUPPLBMJ:NTARY. SBPTBMBBR

15, 1867.

In the way of a supplemental report, I hbye the pleasure to inform you that the hall of Chapman 0, No. 95, hereinbefore referred to, was consecrated and dedicated on the 12th inst., according to the ancient and established usages and rituals of the Order. Being unable to attend in person and perform the ceremonies, owing to sickness in my family, I deputized Bro. Past Master Philip L. StrauBB to peform that duty for me. Be has done so, and made due return to me of his action in the premises to my entire satisfaction.
