Sources and Development 0/ the Constitution and Laws 0/ the Grand Chapter, a Study in Capitular Jurisprudence. By HENRy" C. CHILES Chairntan of the Grand Chapter C011l1nittee on Jurisprudence, 1925-1932

Sovereignty of the Grand Chapter The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch 1Jasons of the State of 1Iissotlri is a sovereign po\ver in Royal .I.~rch l\Iasonry. Its present Constitution declares that it is "the highest source of authority in Royal A teh l\lasonry \vithin said state" and that "it clainls, and of right enjoys, the sale governluent and superintendence of all Chapters of Royal ..A.rch 1Iasons \vithin said jurisdiction", and that "it 111ay consider and do whatsoever it ll1ay regard as necessary or appropriate to the \vellbeing and perpetuity of Royal i\rch lVIasonry in the State of 1\1 issotlri".

Grand Chapter Once a Subordinate However, our Granel Chapter has not al\vays been a sovereign. For the first thirteen years of its life, it was subordinate to the General Grand Chapter of Royal f\rch l\lasons of the United States of Anlerica, '\ivhich \vas its sovereign. Since 1859, the General Grand Chapter has been a confederation of sovereign Grand Chapters, of \vhich our Grand Chapter is one. Early History of Gel1eral 路Crand Chapter Because of the early relationship of sovereign and subordinate, a clear exposition of this phase of our jurisprudence cannot be 1l1ade- \\dthout S0111e reference to the history, constitution and la\vs of the General Grand Chapter. In the year 1797, Royal j\rch l\lasons in New England and New York were officially inforll1ed of the establishnlent,

23 N ovenlber, 1795, of a Grand Chapter in Pennsylvania, by and under the authority of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.. Inspired by this action, delegates fr0111 three Chapters located in N e\vEngland and N e\v York, l11et in convention in the City of Boston, on 24 October, 1797, and issued a call, inviting delegates fron1 all the Chapters in N e\v England and N e\I\T y'" ark to l11eet in the City of Hartford, Connecticut, on 24 January, 1798, for the purpose of fornling and opening a Grand Chapter of Royal i\rch J\Iasons for the States of N e\v f-Ianlpshire, l\Tassachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, \1 ernlont and .0J e\v yT" ark. The reader \vill notice that the objective \vas the forlnation of a Grand Chapter for the states naulecl and not a General C;ranc1 Chapter. :\greeably to the call, a convention \vas duly assen1 bled, and the Grand Rovalf\rch Chal)ter of the Northern States of J;-\.lnerica, (the states luentioned in the call), \vas duly forlner} and a constitution adopted. '1'11is constitution provided that the Grand Chapter ShOlllcl consist of a Grand l-ligh I)riest, a Gran(l King, a Grand Scribe, a Grand C,haplain, a Grand 1'reasurer, a Grand 1\1a1"sha1, and like\vise of the Deputy C-;rand High I)riests, Kings and Scribes of the several I)epl1ty C;rand Chapters, anel of the I?ast Grand I-ligh :Priests, I(ings and Scribes of the said (;rand I{()yal:\rch Chapter. The constituticHl also provicled that there should be in each of the six states a Deputy C;rand I<oyal .'\ reh Chapter, \vhich 5hou1(1 consist of a Deputy Grand Jligh I'riest, J.~ing, Scribe, etc. oi

Origin of Of/ice of Deputy Grand High Priest ""fhe reader \vill note the origin of the office of I)eputy Grand FlighI>riest. 'I'he ne\vIy forlued C}rand Chapter had no such office. 'I'he I)eputy (}rand Chapters, \vhen forn1ed, \\~ereeach to have as a presiding ()fficer a Deputy Grand 11 igh F)riest, but no (}rand .Fligh I>riest. Eventually the Cjrand Chapter becalne the C;eneral (;1"an<1 Chapter and had a I)epllty C;eneral Grand FIigh I)riest, as \vell as a C;cneral (}rand II igh IJriest; and the I)eputy C;randChapters becalne State Grand Chapters, or (}ral1d Chapters, and each had a Grand IIigh l)riest as \vell as a .I)eputy (~rand l"Tigh ,Flriest.

Establishntent Of Gen,eral Gra,nd Chapter The (then) Grand Chapter held an ac1journed convocation in the City of Providence~ Rhode Island, in Jal1uary, 1799, at \vhich tinle a revised constitution \vas adopted, under \vhich the Grand Chapter becanle the General Grand Chapter. This constitution ordained that Hthere shall be a General Grand Chapter of Royal ..;~rch l\fasons for the six northern states of ~A.nlerica" (those l11entioned heretofore), and that "the several Deputy Grand Chapters of the states before 111entioned shall in future he styled State Grand Chapters, and that the State Grand Chapters shall severally consist of a Grand I-ligh Priest, Deputy Grand High Priest", etc., etc. To the State Grand Chapters \vas given the po\ver to constitute ne\v Chapters '"\vithin their respective jurisdictions'~. 'I'here \vas no hint or suggestion of a clainl to j t1 risdictic)Il beyond the geographical 1i111its of the six northern states. The first constitution had called for biennial convocations, but the ne\v constitution tnade the convocations septennial, hence the fol1c)\ving convocation took place in January, 1806, and \vas held in l\Jicldlet()\vn, Connecticut.

Enlargentent of Pou)ers In 1803, an application for a dispensation to for111 a Chapter had been 111ade to the Grand Chapter of 'Rhode Island by certainC01l1paniol1s in one of the southern states. X either the ljrand Ch,apter of l<.hode Island nor its officers had po\\'er to establish Chapters beyond the geographical lilnits of the state. 'lJnder the constitution of the General Grand Chapter, neither it, nor its officers, had pcnver to grant dispensations or establish Chapters any\\"here; furthernlore, that constitution, by its o\\~n ternlS, \vas applicahle only in the six states natlled. ])espite these legcll barriers" \vhich \vere realized, the Grand Chapter of l<hode Island aeted . .A~t its convocation in January, 1804, a resolution \vas adc)pted ~'investing" the General (~rand IIigh I)riest.

Chapter of Rhode Island on the subject, which resulted in the resolution being adopted by other Grand Chapters. As a result, at the convocation of the General Grand Chapter in 1806, it was announced by the General Grand King and Scribe that: "by virtue of authority derived from a special decree of several of the Grand Chapters of the States, they had j oindy issued a warrant for instituting a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in the town of Beaufort, in the State of South Carolina",

and another for a Chapter in Savannah, Georgia. Following this announcen1ent, a revised constitution \vas adopted, and the General Grand Chapter for the six northern states of Anlerica becanle the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch l\'1asons of the United States of Alllerica. lJnder this constitution, the General Grand Chapter asserted po\ver and authority to institute ne\v Chapters "in any state in \vhich there is not a Grand Chapter regularly established", and there \vas the further provision that "\vhenever there shall have been three or n10re Royal .:\rch Chapters instituted in any state by virtue of authority derived froll1 this constitution, a Grand Chapter nlay be forIned in such state". "fhis constitution also called for septennial convocations c1atingfro111 1805, and a resolution \vas adopted fixing the City of N' e\v 'y'" ork as the place and the second 1'uesday in Septen1ber~ 1812, as the thne for the next convocation. Because of the \var of 1812, ho\vever, the next convocation did not take place until June, 1816. It \vas held in the City of N e\v )7'ork and the Proceedings sho\v that delegates f1"oll1 the Grand Chapter of South Carolina ,vere seated as a tllatter of course. though ho\v or \Nhen that Grand Chapter \vas forn1ed and recognized does not appear of record.* 'rhis convocatioll atnended the constitution so as to provide for the office of Deputy (~eneral (;1"a11<1 11 igh I)riest in the General Grand Chapter line.

that the Grand Chapter represented by thenl \vould support the constitution of the General Grand Chapter, and that it \vould 110t grant \varrants of dispensation out of its district and that it \vonld discountenance all Chapters fornled contrary to said constitution, etc., etc. \\'hereupon the C0111111ittee \vhich had been appointed to confer \vith these delegates reCOll1ll1endec1 that their Grand Chapter be "adnlitted to an union \vith this General Grand Chapter". 1"\he Proceedings then recite that "it \~tas thereupon voted to receive the said Grand Chapter of the State of l\larylancl and District of COlUt11bia under the jurisdiction of the General Grand C,hapter"~ Fronl this brief account of the prlllcipal steps taken in the forn1ation and early stages of developlllent of the General Grand Chapter, it seenlS apparent that in 1816 all of the Grand Chapters included in its organization ,vere subordinate to it: not only the Grand Chapters \vhich had originally been Deputy C;rand Chapters, but also those Grand Chapters \vhich had been .,; received under its j nrisdiction". The General Grand Chapter \vas the sovereign and '\vhatever po\vers the C;rand Chapters had, they derived by delegation.

The General Grand Constitution in 1846 1"he constitution of the General Grand Chapter \vas revised again in 1829, and it \vas this constitution \vhich \vas in effect at the forn1atioll of the Grand C,hapter of 1Iissouri. rrhis constitution, in Section 2, of l\rticle I, contained \vhat \vas, beyond question, the declaration of a sovereign, viz: UThe General Grand Chapter shall have and l11a.intain jurisdiction over all State (;rand Chapters. * * * and shall have authority to suspend the proceedings of such State Grand Chapters, and such Chapters in States \vhere there is no (~rand Chapter, as Inay kno\vingly violate any of路 the provisions of this constitution; to settle all difficulties 'which n1ay arise, and to give such advice and instruction as rnay seelU nlost conducive to their peace and to the advancenlcnt of the great ca use of benevolence and virtue."

They \vere purely creatures of the C~eneral Grand Chapter. Certainly, these creatures, or their representatives, could not legally set up an organization, a C~rand Chapter, \vhich \vould be anything 1110re than a suborditlate of the creator, the General Grand Chapter. f\nd the ,convention of representatives of l\lissonri Chapters \vhich resolved itself into the (';rancl Chapter of ~vlissouri did not assert sovereignty; as a Inatter of course, it \vas taken for granted that the ne\vly established (~ralldChapter of l\lissonri \vas a subordinate.

that as a condition precedent to the organization of a Grand Chapter the "'approbation of one of the first four officers" of the General Grand Chapter be obtained.. This constitutional requiretnent was waived by the General Granel Chapter, at its triennial convocation held in Colunlbus,Ohio, in Septenlber, 1847, and the Grand Chapter of Missouri was "fully recognized" and its representative, Dr. J. \V. S. l\litchell, seate:l, as an act of grace on the part of the General Grand Chapter.

Becomes ConJederation of Sovereign Powers The sovereignty of the General Grand Chapter continued until 1859, vvhen, by an1endn1ent of its constitution, it becan1e a confederation of sovereign Grand Chapters. Ho\v this change was brought about will be related hereafter.

Establishment of Missouri Grand Chapter Follovving the annual COn1111Unication of the Grand Lodge of IVl iS50uri, a convention of delegates representing l\lissouri Royal .A.rcb Chapters, assenlbled in the City of Saint Louis, on 16 October, 1846. '1'he first act of this convention; 'after the prelirninaries of organization were disposed of, vvas the adoption of a resolution presented by John D. Daggett, Past fligh F)riest of l\lissouri Chapter :r\ o. 1, declaring that "\ve do no\v establishanc1 constitute a Grand I~oyal .l\rch Chapter for the State of l\fissouri, agreeably to the provisions of the constitution of the General Grand Royal i\rch Chapter of the United States". f\fter the election of Grand Chapter officers, a conl11littee \vas appointed'路to draft a code of by-laws for the governn1ent of this C~randChaI)ter."N0 constitution for the ne\vly born Grand Chapter \vas necessary or in order, for, as\ve have seen, the General Grand Chapter was sovereign and its constitution the fllndanlental la~r. That constitution perlllitted Grand Chapters to "nlake such rules and regulations for their governnlent as rnay be necessary, not inconsistent \vith the regulations of the (}eneral Grand Chapter", and that "vas all our (~ranc1 Chapter actually did. The C01l11l1ittee consisted of Janles \'!V.

The report of the con1111ittee vvas approved, and "the by-la \VS as subn1ittec1 by then1, being read, section by section, \vere severally adopted"'.

The "Ix.ules and Regulations for the Governnlent of the Grand Royal .r\rch Chapter of l\Iissouri", so adopted, consisted of t\venty sections, or rules, each being entitled "Rule" \vith its appropriate tlutllber.. 1~hese rules and regulations \vere sin1ple, as \vould be expected in a day ,vhen there ,vere only fe\v subordinate Chapters and a SI11al1 ll1ernhership. Let us exatl1ine theln. To begin \vith, the nanle of our Grand Chapter \vas declared to be the '~Grand Royal .-;-\ reh Chapter of I\lissouri" \vhich nall1e it retained until the adoption of the constitution of 1880. The (~rand Chapter \vas COll1posed of a Grand High Priest, Deputy Grand l1igh I)riest, Grand King, Grand Seribe, Grand Secretary, Grand 1"'reasnrer, Grand Chaplain and Grand I\Iarshal, and of the I-ligh Priests, Kings and Scribes of the subordinate Chapters, and also of the Past Grand lIigh l?riests, Deputy Grand fIigh路 I)riests, Kings and Scribes of the Grand Chapter, "and the saidenUlnerated officers or their. proxies shall be the only 111elnbers and voters in this Grand Chapter".. lJn(ler :this rule, presull1ably, a Grand I-ligh :Priest, for exa1l1ple, could send a proxy to Grand ,Chapter to vote for hin1. 1\' 0 instance of the exercise of this privilege has, ho\vever, cOlne to the \vriter's attention. It \vil1 be noted that l)ast lIigh I)riests of subordinate Chapters \vere not then 111enlbers of the Grand Chapter. It \vas not until 1870 that this ill1portant privilege \vas accorded then1.

these duties continue until the succeeding October, "its warrant of constitution shall be recalled and its nalne be stricken off the list of Chapters, unless sonle satisfactory reason be assigned for the neglect". Chapters were required to 111eet at least once in every three Inonths, and failure to nleet for one year caused a Chapter to "forfeit its warrant of constitution, unless SOUle satisfactory cause is assigned to the Grand Chapterfor the fleglect."

Jurisdiction Over Petitioners Rule XVI covered the inlportant nlatter of jurisdiction over petitioners, and was as follows: "No candidate residing in any city or place \vhere a Royal Arch Chapter is held shall be exalted in any other Chapter, without a reCotnmendation from the Chapter nearest to his place of residence, or \\rithout some good and sufficient reason being given, by such applicant, to the Chapter where he applies for adnlission; nor shall any Chapter exalt a candidate whose application has been rejected in any other Chapter, after having received notice of such rejection, without the consent of the Grand Chapter ; and it is hereby Inade the duty of the Secretary of each and every Chapter under this jurisdiction, to give notice of the natTIe, residence, and occupation of every rej eeted applicant to the Grand Secretary who shall itntnediatelycommunicate the saIne' to the subordinate Chapters under this jurisdiction." l');(

S011le of the wisest provisions of our formal vvritten law had their origin in "standing resolutions", and nlany practices in our Royal Craft today received their first sanction through the adoption of a resolution.

First Revision

Laws

Our Grand Chapter, at its convocation in lVfay, 1850, and on the evening of the first day, authorized the appointll1ent of a cOllunittee to revise the "by-laws" and report "at this C0111tllunication". rrhe conullittee appointed consisted of . A . rchibald }:)attersOll, lligh ~Priest of Lexington Chapter No. 10 (elected Deputy C;rand Hjgh Priest the follo\ving day), who had been prof essor of 111athenlatics in the 1J:asonic College of Missouri since its institution in 1844; Benjatl1in J. Van Court, }(ing of Saint I~ouis Chapter No.8. and the Reverend \JVillia111 ~vf. }<.ush, High Priest of Saint Joseph Chapter No. 14.. This cOll1nlittee did its \vork rapidly (perhaps, it had done sonle ,"vork prior to the record of its official appointt11ent) for on the afternoon of the day following its appointt11ent, it brought in its report \vhich \vas considered, anlended, and adopted as atllcndecI.

Origin of COl1tnlitt<?l?

01t

Correspondence

.t\lthotlgh the C0111111ittee on Correspondence was not yet one of the cOll11nittees rnentioned in the code, it was a very po\verful one, and all through the years this C01111nittee had an il11portant part in 11101ding the policies, practices, opinions and even the ht\vs of our Grand Chapter. 'I'he appointnlent of such C0111111ittees by the various Grand Chapters 111ay have been sitnply the adoption of the idea froll1 Revolutionary practices arnong the Colonies and Colonists, but it 1l1USt be said that it follo\ved as a natural consequence of the provisions of Secti<Jneight /\rticle t\VO, ()f the C;eneral Grand Chapter Constitlltic)t1 (adopted 1829), viz: "~rhe Se(~retaries of the State C;rand Chapters shall severally 111ake an ~ulnllal COIll1l1Unication tC) each other, and also to the Secretary of the General Grand Chapter, containing a Jist of Grand Officers, and all such other 1l1atters as nlay be deell1ed necessary for the mutual benefit and inforrnation of the said C;rancl Chapters. .A.nd the said Grand Se(~retaries shall also regularly transnlit to the Secretary of the C;eneral C;rand Chapter a copy of all their by-la\vs and regulati(HlS,

and also a copy of their Proceedings, annually, to each of the officers ef the C;eneral Grand Chapter ; and the State Grand Chapters shall see that their Secretaries faith fully and punctually perfornl this duty."

In l\Jissonri, in the early days, the Grand Secretary was usually a tllenlber of the C0t11111ittee on Correspondence and at tiInes chairtnan of the COtll111ittee. In connection with its report to the C;rand Chapter, \vhich was presented just after the revision had been adopted, the COtllnlittee 011 Correspondence subn1itted the foI1ovving resolution, vvhich \vas adopted and becatne a standing resolution of the Grand Chapter: "Resolved, That suspension or expulsion fron} a Lodge of l\faster Nfasons, for unIl1asonic conduct, operates to disqualify a Royal Arch Mason from his privileges as such."

The principle ordained by this resolution did not becollle a part of the code until long a fter\vard.

In,corporation of Grall,d Chapter The revised code \vas, of course, still not perfect and its adoption could not stop the process of evolution so necessary to the proper developnlent of a syste111 of laws, hence the work of addition and anlendnlent C01l1111enced at once. The Grand Officers had been overlooked in the ll1atter of expenses incurred by thenl in attending Grand Chapter; or, it ll1ay be, it had been thought that the 110nor of holding Grand Chapter office was sufficient in itself and that the inCll1l1bents should he ,villing to defray their own expenses. i\.t any rate, the Grand Chapter, in l\iay, 18S 1~ added the expenses to the honor and anlended the la\v by providing that the Grand Officers be "allowed the sanle conlpensation as the delegatesfroI11 their respective (:hapters, provided, they do not, at the sanle tilne, receiye cotllpensation as representatives". l\nother <-tlncndnlent adopted at the saBle tinle 1l1ade it irnpossibJe for a Chapter to surrender its charter so long as nine tnelllbers vvere willing for the Chapter to retain it. i\ conunittee previously appointed to attend to the t11atter of incorporating the Grand Chapter reported its work accolnplished by ,l\ct of the G~D路 eral i\ssetnbly of l\Iissouri, approved 24 Fel)fuary, 1851":'''''''''''The incorI)Qration of the Grand C.hapter \vas one of the pre1ilninary steps taken in connection with the erection of a Grand 1\Iasonic Ilall in the City of Saint I...Iouis. 1"'he act of incorporati()t1 \vas repealed by tl" "i\ct of the General }\ssetnbly, approved 12 February, 1853~ incorporating the l\Iasonic I-Iall i\ssociation, which erected the proposed building at the corner of Seventh and l\farket Streets.

l\S has already heen Inentioned, this convocation rescinded the resoluticHl requiring a petitioner to have been al\Iaster l\Iason for t\velve 111onths. In lien of this, the f()llr)\ving reso1utions \vere adopted:

598

J.A.. STUDY IN CAPITULAR Jl..TRISPRUDJ<:NCE

"Resolved, that no Chapter within the j urisc1iction of this Grand Chapter shall receive the petition of any 1vfaster rviason for advance111ent in the Chapter degrees, until such petitioner shall be able to stand a satisfactory exanlination, either in open Lodge, on all the preceding degrees, or shall be vouched for by three COlllpanions, that he has tnade sufficient proficiency in all of the preceding degrees; and said Companions shall also state in their recoll1111endation, that he has been a lnan of charitable and hUIllall disposition, and has performed his 11asonic duties and obligations with fidelity. That his qualifications for advancenlent in each subsequent degree shall be tested in the same manner ; and a ballot shall be taken upon his petition for advancenlent in each and every subsequent degree. "Resolved further, that no Chapter \vithin this jurisdiction shall advance any 11aster 1tlason to the degrees conferred therein, unless such 1faster 1fason is, at the tin1e of ll1aking application for said degrees, a mell1ber of son1e Lodge of ~ilaster 1:fasons, in the active discharge of his duties and obligations as such."

These resolutions \vere carried as late as ()ctober, 1869, in official publications, as being standing resolutions of the Grand Chapter, not\vithstanding the Grand Chapter, in l\fay, 1856, had adopted the follo\ving: "H.esolved, that no Chapter within the j uriscliction of this C;rand Chapter shall receive the petition of any Nfaster 1-lason for aclvancetnent in the Chapter degrees, until such petitioner shall be votlched for has nutde sufficient proficiency in all of the preceding degrees, and by three Coo1panions, appointed by the 1L E. High Priest, that 111e said Coxnpanions shall also state in their recoml11enc1ation that he has been a tl1an of charitable and hUlllane disposition, and has perforn1ed his 1 fasonic duties and obligations \vith fidelity." ii

It is thent1derstanding of the \vriter that that portion of the resolution of 1854, providing for proficic!lCY lectures and exanlinations in the Chapter degrees, \vas never generally observed_ 1\S a lnatter of la\v, it seenlS to have been rescinded by the adoption of the resolution of 1856. i\t any rate, that resolution of 1854 'vas fOl"lnally rescinded l>y the C;rand Chap-

field, and he appealed, by filing a "111el1lorial" in Grand Chapter. It appeared that the accused \vas not present at the trial, because he resided at a considerable distance fronl Springfield, and there \vere other reasons \vhich prevented his attendance and the presentation of his evidence. On reco111111endation of the COnl111ittee, the Grand Chapter granted hill1 are-hearing and referred the case to the Chapter at Boonville for that purpose.

In1t11ediately after the installation of the newly elected officers in 1859, Charles Levy, proxy for the King of Saint Louis Chapter No.8, offered the follo\ving resolution, which 'Vv"as adopted: "Resolved, that the delegate or delegates to the General Grand Royal .Arch Chapter of the United States, use their best endeavors to bring about a that General Grand Body."

Yet, was not the first tinle that such a proposal had found favor in the Grand Chapter of Ivlissouri, for a similar resolution had been adopted at the convocation of May, 1853. N or was l\fissouri the first Grand Chapter to take the position that the General Grand Chapter should be dissolved. Long prior to the organization of ottf Grand Chapter, the Grand Chapter of IZenttlcky advocated such a course. That Grand Chapter, at its convocation in Septeulber, 1825, appointed a C0I11111ittee to correspond with other Grand Chapters relative to and toclraft a 111enlorial to the General Grand Chapter upon the propriety of dissolving that body. This l11enlorial was SUbl11itted to the convocation of the (~eneral Grand Chapter in Ne\v York City in Septenlber, 1826, and set out at length and arguI11entatively the reasons alleged for the suggested dissolution. The follo\ving points \vere nlade: First. The General Grand Chapter may have been useful at first as an authority for establishing new Chapters, but as Grand Chapters have been established in 1110st of the States, the General Grand Chapter is no longer necessary.. As its authority is not recognized by all Grand Chapters,it tends to produce discord. Second. The Grand Chapters should possess power to adapt their laws to the opinion and customs within their respective jurisdictions, without being controlled by a superior po\ver.. T'hird. The expense of sending delegates to distant convocations of the . General Grand Chapter is an unnecessary waste of funds. Fourth. Grand Chapter officers are, by virtue of the General Grand Chapter constitution, menlbers of their respective Grand Chapters for life, and may vote even by proxy. They are increasing in nunlber, that they will, in a few years, outnumber the representatives of the subordinate Chapters. Fifth. Even if they be allowed to retain voting power, the power to vote by路proxy* should be taken fronl thenl, as they cannot transfer *This ground of objection was removed by an amendment to the General Grand Chapter constitution adopted 1829.

their skill and ability to their proxies. Likewise, present (;rand Chapter officers should not be elnpowered to vote by proxy. Sixth. 1~he resources of the Order. instead of being devoted to costly entertainments, should be applied to charity. Seventh. T'he General Grand Chapter is not necessary to correct the errors of Chapters and maintain hartllony atl10ng Royal Arch 1'lasons; this is sufficently done by the Grand Chapters. Eighth. Subordinate Chapters have jurisdiction analogous to that of the States; Grand Chapters have jurisdiction analogous to that of the IJnited States; the General Grand Chapter purports to control both, and is an organization \vithout parallel in our o\vn or. any other form of government. Ninth. 'The only plausible pretext for the existence of the General Grand Chapter is to produce uni fornlity of work.

favoring the dissolution; the other Grand Chapters \vere either against the proposal or had not acted upon it prior to the General Grand Chapter convocation. Six Grand Chapters were recorded as being opposed to dissolution. \Vhile the ll1elllorial of the Kentucky C0111paniol1s touched upon the illost vital question, sovereignty, it did not 111ention two other questions \vhich later becanle grave issues in the General Grand Chapter and which were closely related to the controversy over sovereignty. An understanding of these two issues is necessary as an introduction to the "life.~ death"; struggle \vhich ensued over the vital issue of sovereignty.

Control of the Cryptic Degrees The first of these questions \vas over the control of the Cryptic degrees, and the \vhole controversy relative to this n1atter arose through the failure of the General Grand Chapter and its officers to take a positive stand one \vay or the other. The Constitution of the General Grand Chapter, adopted in 1829, as \vell as the revision of 1850, contained the follo\ving in Section 9, of Article I: "N 0 Royal Arch lvfason ,vithin the jurisdiction of the General Grand Chapter shall be permitted to confer any degree in Masonry not recognized as a constitutional degree; nor to establish any society of Masons not recognized asa constitutional body. And the first four officers of the General Grand Chapter, or any three of them shan in all cases have authority to decide all constitutional questions under this section." f

In lieu of any action under this section inl1nediately after its adoption, the General (~rand Chapter, in Septen1ber, 1829, adopted the folto\ving resolutions: "Whereas, It is satisfactorily proved to this General Grand Chapter, that the constitution of Councils of Royal and Select ~.rfaster ~vlasons, in different parts of the United Statt$, by sundry persons, has been without any legitilnate authority: HAnd whereas, Those degrees are conferred in sonle Chapters, under the authority of the General Grand Chapter ; and \vhereas, it was proved that it was the only and sole intention of the Most Excellent Companions f rOIn '\\~hon1 those degrees emanated, that they should be conferred under the authority of Royal Arch Chapters; therefore,

hResolved, That this General Grand Chapter cordially recommend to the different Councils in the United States, to adopt measures to place those degrees under the authority of the state Grand Chapters. "Resolved, That authority be, and is hereby, granted to the several Grand Chapters under the jurisdiction of the General Grand Chapter, to make such arrangements as shall be found necessary for conferring the degrees of Royal and Select Masters in Royal Arch Chapters; provided always, that no Grand Chapter, within the limits of which is a Grand Council, shall authorize the Royal Arch Chapters under its jurisdiction to con fer such degrees without the consent of such路 Grand CounciL"

This question received the serious attention of the first COlnnlittee on Correspondence appointed in our Grand Chapter, and that part of its report, subn1itted IV[ay, 1849, having to do \vith the subject, is quoted, as it is believed to picture accurately the conditions existing at the tinle, and for the further reason that the conl111ittee consisted of th路ree very distinguished and learned ]\I.issouri Freenlasons'l Foster, Billon and Daggett. "The Royal and Select degrees seem to occupy the attention of all. The order in which they shan be conferred, and by what body, whether by Council or by Chapters, appears to perplex and annoy some of our sister Grand Chapters, as though the existence of the whole Masonic Fraternity was staked on that single issue. "In the opinion of your cotnn1ittec, these degrees occupy more attention, and elicit lnore disctlssion than their importance demands. "Neither of them develops any new principle, or adds a single ray of light which the inteIIigcnt Royal Arch l\1ason should not possess without them. And it would be far better for the Craft that these degrees should cease to exist as such, than to continue the present strife and contention about either their chronology or location.. "I f Royal Arch 11a50nry is incomplete without them, then they are a part and parcel of it, and should be 50 cOlunlunicated" and thus replace that which has been abstracted to feed the cumulative desires of the age. The expression that 'they are the link which connects those \vithout the veil with those who are within' is certainly very pretty, but when analyzed, on true 1JIasonic principles, it '\vil1 be found wanting in the other two great 1[asonic requisites, wisdom and strength. "It is Illt1ch to be regretted, that any of the Grand Chapters, State or General, should have permitted these degrees to be cumulated under their jurisdiction, and the authority to can fer thenl, separate and apart, is at least doubtful, if not positively restricted by Section 9,

Article 1,* of the General Grand Constitution. But the evil has been permitted; discord and confusion, the legitimate fruits of cumulation, are producing the sad work of alienation, and it now behooves us to apply the proper 1fasonic relnedy, and put this cause of discord forever frotn our n1idst. "Your conlmittee therefore suggests that the Royal and Select degrees shall not be conferred within this jurisdiction until the General Grand Chapter, or its proper officers, shall determine-not by suggestion, but by positive la\v or instruction, the order and manner in which they shall hereafter be conferred. And it is earnestly hoped that when the General Grand Chapter shall settle the question, (for settle it, it must) that all ,vho owe it allegiance will cheerfully submit-even though these degrees should be surrendered to that body which perhaps possesses higher clainlS."

At the Triennial of Septenlber, 1844, the nlatter of the Cryptic degrees vvas referred to a special con1!nittee. This CQtl1111ittee in its report, \vhich was adopted, approved and set forth the preanlble and resolutions of 1829, already quoted, and added the follo\ving: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this General Grand Chapter, that the conferring of the degrees of Royal and Select 1fasters should be subsequent to that of the Royal Arch Degree."

At the Triennial 'of 1847" the following anlenc1ment to the General Grand constitution was proposec1by a representative of the Grand Chapter of 1"'ennessee, and \vas r.ti~~!~d: '"Strikeout the ninth section of the first article, and substitute the follo\\'ing in its stead: No Royal Arch :Nlason, within the jurisdiction of the General Grand Chapter shall be pennitted"to confer any degree, as a Masonic degree, other than those recognized by the General Grand Chapter at constitutional degrees, to-wit: Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, 11aster Mason, 11ark 11aster, Past Master,. Most Ex~ cellent 1faster, Royal Arch 1\1ason, and Royal and Select路 Master; nor to establish, or unite with, any society, asa Masonic society or body, not recognized as a constitutional lvIasonic body."

The re-adoption of the resolutions of 1829 by the Triennial of 1844, and the adoption of the further resolution quoted. did not settle the controversy. The agitation of the question continued and, in S0111e quarters, it was suggested that "the \vay ont" \vas to forn1 a General Grand Council \vhich should have jurisdiction over the degrees. l\t the Triennial of 1850, *Quoted supra, page 606.

however a C0111nlittee report was adopted which declared that it was inexpedient to take any action on the subject of fOfnling a General Grand Council of Royal and Select IVlasters; and at the salue thne action on a resolution \vas indefinitely postponed which declared the constitutional degrees to be those "conferred in regular Blue Lodges, Royal Arch Chapters, Encampnlents of Knights Tenlplars and the Appendant Orders, Councils of Royal and Select l\!lasters and Supreu1e Councils of the Ancient and Accepted Rite and their inferior jurisdictions" .

Degrees, inasnluch as they had already received one of the fonr. i\ctual Past :l\'1asters \vere scandalized and incensed at the introduction of practices in the conferring of the degree, vV'hich l1lade it a travesty upon what was in the Lodges and the Grand Lodges a nl0st solenln cerenlony. \Tirtual Past IVlasters, in SOUle instances, clainled the right to sit and vote in Granel Lodge to the sa111e extent as actual Past l\1asters; and in sonle localities it Vlas clainled that the Chapter had exclusive jurisdiction over the degree and that the conferring of the sanle under any other auspices than of the Chapter \vas unnlasonic and clandestine. Such anonlalotls conditions as these could only bring about strife and discord.

The Grand Chapter of l\lissouri, at its convocation of ]\fay, 1853, adopted resolutions presented by the COlll11littee 011 Correspondence (Joseph Foster,. chairnlan), the first of \vhich stated the l11atter I1l0St logically, viz: hResolved, That the Past IVfaster's degree being essential to the existence of a Blue I.-odge, can be legitimately conferred upon a 1Iaster elect, \vithout the assent or intervention of a Chapter of Royal Arch }'tfasons; and that the jurisdiction assumed by the General Grand Chapter over this degree is an infringenlent upon the prerogatives of Grand Lodges."

'"fhe second resolution instructed the l\Iissouri delegates to advocate an alnendnlent to the General Grand constitution relinquishing the ~'assunled jurisdiction over this degree".

High Priest Not Required to Receive Priesthood 1"'he third resolution declared it unnecessary for a I-ligh F)riest elect to receive the Order of lIigh IJriesthood as a prerequisite to being installed and acting assttch. This resolution vvas calculated to prevent trouble froll1 arising over this ()rder silllilar to the difficulties then being experienced over the degree of F)ast l\laster, and a siIllilar resolution ,vas adopted at the Triennial of the Sall1e year. The 1'riennial did not, ho\vever, settle the controversy over the I)ast l\Iaster's degree; all that it did \vas to adopt a resolution asserting that: HT'his Body does not claitn jurisdiction over the degree of Past 1faster, when about to be conferred on a 11aster elect of a Symbolic Lodge."

Following the Triennial, our Grand Chapter, in May, 1854, by resolution declared that '\vhen a brother has taken the degree of Past Master, by virtue of his election as Master of a Lodge, it is not necessary to re-confer the same preparatory to his advancenlent in the Chapter".

This resolution \vas afterwards incorporated in the code and \vas the la\v in this jurisdiction until the revision of 1901 \vas adopted. Joseph Foster recorded his vote against the adoption of the resolution, which ,vas the logical thing for one to do. For, fraUla legal standpoint, it \\lQuIel. seenl that so long as the Past l\1aster's degree was part and parcel of the Capitular systen1, the candidate taking the degrees lllUst assunle all the obligations therein, notwithstanding he 111ay have previously taken one of those obligations else\vhere. In Septen1ber, 1856, the General Grand Chapter adopted a resolution recoJnnzcnding "to the Grand Chapters and the subordinate Chapters under this jurisdiction to abridge the cerenlonies now conferred in the Past Master's degree \vithin the narro\vest constitutional litnits, only retaining the inducting of the candidate into the oriental chair, and the comInunicating of the tneans of recognition."

By 1859, sentinlent in the Grand Chapter of 1fissourihad reversed itself, and a resolution wasadopte~I on the reC0111nlendation of Grand Secretary O'Sullivan in his report on correspondence, declaring "That this Grand Chapter is opposed to striking out the Past Master's degree from the list of Chapter degrees."

T\velve years later, in 1871, Grand Secretary Gouley, one of the representatives of ~Iissouri, lllacle a well sustained, able and exhaustive argl1111ent on the floor of the General Grand Chapter, in favor of the adoption of a constitutional anlendI1lent elilninating the Past J\faster's degree, but the anlendnlent failed of adoption, and so the controversy died a natural death, and the degree finally becanle the sole and exclusive property of the Capitular systenl by relinquishnlent on the part of the SynlbolicLodge. '-fhe end can1e in l\lissouri in 1895 \\Then Allen 1lcDo\vell offered an anlendn1ent in the Grand Lodge which路 ,vas adopted and vvhich declared the degree of Past l\Jaster \vas not a prerequisite to installation of a Worshipful J\iaster.

Arguments Over General Grand Chapter v\!hile these l11inor controversies over the Cryptic and Past I\Jaster's degrees \vere being \vaged, a nlajor controversy had arisen in the General Grand Chapter, \vhich finally becanle in Chapter circles, as vital and illlportant as the nation-\vide controversy over the nature of the Union. In political circles, the controversy \vas about the nature and extent of the respective povvers of the federal and state governnlents and the relationship bet\veen thenl. In capitular circles. the nature and extent of the respective po\:vers of the General Granel Chapter and the Grand Chapters and the relationship between thenl \vere fairly \vell understood; the controversy \vas as to \vhether they should so continue. It has already been noted that in 1826 our Kentucky COll1panions analyzed the relationship by cOll1paring the subordinate Chapters to the states, and the respective Grand Chapters to the United States, and by declaring tllat the (jeneral (jrand Chapter vvas a sort' of super-governnlent over all, unnecessary, and \vithollt parallel in the theory of governlnent. .I\Tasonic thinkers of the fifties, ho\vever, \vere cOll1paring the Granel Chapters to the states and the General Grand Chapter to the United States.

It has already been nlentioned that as early as l\.Iay, 1853, the Grand Chapter of l\Jissouri \vent on record as favoring a dissolutioil of the C~eneral Grand Chapter. 1'he reason assigned is revealed in the report of a special C0l11nlittee (Joseph Foster, chairtl1an), adopted at that convocation, fronl \vhich the fo1Iovving is quoted: "I'he fear of a great central power being concentrated in the General Grand Chapter, entertained by S0111e Cornpanions of this and other j ttrisdictioI1s, has no cffect on the 111i11<1S of your COlnmittee, nor can they participate in the playful mood of ourConlpanions of North

At Hartford, Connecticut, in Septen1ber, 1856, a resolution ,vas introduced by Albert Pike, proxy for the Grand King of the Grand Chapter of Louisiana, which was a111ended, considerably shortened and finally adopted in this fornl: "Resolved, That the General Grand Royal }\rch Chapter derives all its powers by grant and delegation fronl the respective Grand Royal Arch Chapters."

There \vere fifty-three votes for adoption and thirty against. The Grand Chapters of Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, l\.labanla, Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana, l'vfissauri, l\lichigan, .Li\rkansas, Io,;va and California voted in the affirnlative.

On the concluding day of the convocation, Albert I?ike presented a series of constitutional anlendnlents \vhich, under the la \V, had to lie over until the next Triennia1. i\t its convocation inl'Jay, 1859, our Grand Chapter instructed its delegates "to vote not only for the anlcndments to the Cieneral Grand constitution, as published in our Proceedingsc>f 1857, but such others as Illay or have been proposed, as have for their object t~ prql~ction of the sovWignty of the se'leral State GrCl,ud Ch<\1lters."

The adoption of the . A . .lbert Pike anlendn1ents preserved the life of the General Grand Chapter as a nation-wide body, but at the san1e til11e rnade a revolutionary change in the nature of that body and its po\vers.

tee report, ,vere read, discussed, anlenc1ed and adopted, all on one clay. Beginning vvith the revision of 1885, our byla\vs have had路 special provisions respecting the adoption of revisions and legalizing the procedure sanctioned by long practice.

Our F'irst COl'tstitution Although the resolution of 1860 calleel for a revision of the constitution, our Grand Chapter had no constitution, as has been pointed out, but inasnluch as it had becon1e a sovereign, it \vas entitled to one, and the C0111111ittee provided a constitution, or, it l1light be said, they revised the lack of a constitution. This constitution consisted of only t\venty \:vords, and for brevity and sinlplicity probably excelled any other; it read: "The Grand Royal Arch Chapter of 1vIissouri is the SUprell1e head of Royal Arch }'1asonry within the State of 1Gssouri."

This silnple statelnent declared the sovereignty of the Grand Chapter of IVTissouri in 1861 and continued to be its constitutionul1til l\Jay, 1880.

General Regulations Follo\ving the constitution ,vel~e the hl\~'S of the Grand Chapter, \vhich \vere tern1ed H(1eneral I{egt11ations", and \vere divided into articles and sections. I n the first article \vere contained the regulations applicable to the Grand Chapter. 1'hese increased the elective officers of the Grand Chapter so as to include a C;rancI Captain of the ITost and a Grand Royal l\rch Captain. i\S a ll1atter of fact, the Grand Chapter line had included these 1.\\"0 offices since ~1ay, 1854, follo\ving the an1cndnlent in Septenlber, 185~, of the General Grand Chapter constitution \vhich added such offices to its o\vn line as \vell as to the Grand Chapter lines. 'Vhy the office of Grand I)rincipaI Sojourner \vas not created is an eniglna.

The ll1inin1ull1 fee for the degrees "vas fixed at t\venty-fi ve dollars and Chapters \vere prohibited fron1 giving credit for the fees or any part thereof. Provision was ll1ade for diulits. Chapters \vere forbidden to confer the degree of Past 1faster t'on a l\laster l\Iason ll1erely for the purpose of qualifying hill1 to preside as l\-faster of a Syn1bolic Lodge" and it \vas further provided that no one "shall be present at the con ferring of the degree of Past Master in any Chapter under this jurisdiction \vhen opened on the degree of Past 1faster, \vho has not regularly received the 1Jark and Past Master's degrees".

i\nllual elections were required to be held at the first regular convocation in Decen1ber. In lieu of a "trial code" the regulations sinlply stated that: "The la \VS of the Grand l . odge ()f Ivfissouri, under the head of 'Trials and .A,ppeals' shall goYcrn, as near as the different structure of the two bodies \V~ll pennie'.

Section nineteen set forth: "That all the provisions of Article III of the General Grand constittltion, title, 'of the SuhordinateChapters' and not herein specifically set forth, shall he considered as part of these sections and ofeqt1al binding force .and effect".

1'he Illost hnportant of 511Ch provisions ,\vas: "It shall not be d(~ell1ed regular for any Cha!)ter to confer the degrees of the Chapter upon any person \"hosefixed place of abode is within any other state in \vhich there is a Chapter regularly established, except by the consent of the Chapter nearest the place of residence of said applicant".

Appeal

An ilnportant addition "vas ll1ade to the rules of order in Grand Chapter, nan1ely, "There shall be no appeal fron1 the decision of the Grand High IJriest". This rule, it is believed, conforu1ed to ancient usage and precedent. It continued as the law of our Grand Chapter until the revision of 1885. The rule, hovvever, was not consonant .\vith the sovereignty of the Grand Chapter, \vhich "vas probably the reason it v"as eventually discarded. It has already been noted that in 1856 the General Grand Chapter, by resolution, abrogated a sinlilar rule vvith reference to decisions of the General Grand High Priest. The Triennial of 1859 confirn1ed that resolution in the adoption of the follovving constitutional an1endn1ent: "An appeal shall in all cases lie to the General Grand Chapter, fro1l1 the decisions of the ~1.E. General Grand High Priest; but his opinion and decisions shall stand as the j udglnent of the General Grand Chapter' unless it is otherwise detertuined by the concurrent vote of t\VOthirds of all the Inetnbers present".

"Such questions, constantly occurring, could as easily be answered by the officers and Cotnpanions of the Chapter, if they were fan1iliar \vith our la \Vs and regulations, \vithout the delay \vhich 111Ust necessarily follow a reference to the Grand High Priest".

He reported only one decision: "That before a Chapter could receive and entertain such a petition (froln a brother ,vhose Lodge membership \vas in another jurisdiction), the Chapter under whose local jurisdiction the applicant holds InelUbership in the Lodge should be notified and requested to waive jurisdiction over hitn".

This decision \vas not tllentioned in the report of the COll1ll1ittee to \vhich the address was referred.

The only change \vith reference to the tinle and place of the annual convocation \vas to nlove the first day for\vard froll1 \\r ednesday to Thursday preceding the Grand Lodge con1111unication. '"fhis \vas done in order to give all of \\Tec1nesday to the Grand COll1111anc1ery. Prior to this revision no tinle was fixed for the annual election and the practice ,vas to fix the tinle by resolution or 111otion. The revision COnl111ittee inserted a provision fixing the second day as the tillle for tl1e election. Heretofore, each stlbordinate Chapter had three votes in Grand Chapter; on account of the voting privilege accorded the Past I-ligh I?riests and to 111aintain "the balance of power", the nunlber of votes per Chapter vvas increas~sl to five. The 111ethod of voting by ballot was by t\\'o r()ll-c~ji~'~"~the first a call of the (~hapters, and the second, a call of the individuals entitled to vote; the result \vas ascertained hy totaling the t\VO calls. The standing cotnnlittees ren1ained the saIne and their duties \vere not defined.

'"fhe salary of the Grand Secretary \-vas again tl1ade to (lel)end upon the pleasure of the Grand Chapter in appropriating each year. /\ new section, \vith reference to the pay-roll, prol>ably reflects cc>nditions of the tinle, viz: "The Grand Secretary shall not dra\v a \varrant on the payroll foJ' any delegate \vho absents hiIl1sel f fron1 the C;rand Chapter before its close, except by pennission ()f the presiding officer or the Grand ChHpter."

Chapter, and the Deputies were to be paid "such c01l1pensation as ll1ay be agreed upon betvveen thenl and the Chapters". The Grand Lecturer was not, by virtue of his office, a tnenlber of the Grand Chapter. The concluding article contained the law, relative to subordinate Chapters and 111iscellaneous matters. No change was made in the law, relative to jurisdiction over petitioners for the degrees, except that the principle of concurrent jurisdiction was recognized in those cOll1munities ,vhere more than one Chapter existed. One clear ballot entitled the petitioner to all the degrees, "provided that a ll1enlber of the Chapter nlay at any stage stop his further progress by objection". Definite rules governing ditnits vvere establ1shed for the first tinle, in requiring \vritten application, in HUlking the din1it date 拢ro111 the tillle of the Chapter record granting the sanle and in providing that a clirnitted 111enlber to be restored ll1t1st petition, etc. Another itnportant section; which "vas new to the \vritten regulations, was: "An elected and installed officer cannot resign or dinlit during the titne for which he ,vas elected, viz., until his stlccessor is duly elected and installed".

The "trial code" \vas still, by adoption, the Grand Lodge . law on the S11 b j ect, as in the previous revision. 1\;f nch di fficulty seeU1S to have been experienced in relation to the holding of Chapter elections. This revision required thenl to be held at the last regular convocation prior to the 27th day of Decenlber, and gave the Grand High Priest power to grant dispensation for special elections, "when in his judgn1ent the best interests of the Chapter detnand if'. In this connection it is interesting to note that the Grand Chapter, October, 1877, approved a decision of Grand High Priest Joseph S. 13rowne, in 'which. he held that . no regular business of a Chapter 111ight be transacted on the 24th day of June or the 27th day of .Decen1ber (the days of the Holy~aint~Iohn) unless the by-la \VS specify thenl as elates for regular convocations.. The reason underlying this decision apparently was that those days \vere then reserved for celebration in the SY1l1bolic Lodges.

The Grand I-ligh Priest cited precedents to sustain his position, anl0ng others, the fact that substitution had been practiced in 1Iassachusetts since 1769. .f\ negative precedent, which he did not n1entiot1, but vvhich probably reflected the CtlStOll1 in ll1any jurisdictions, \vas the action of the General Grand Chapter, \vhich at its convocation of 1847, tabled a

N ot\vithstanc1ing the revision of 1870 contained the provision that a petition for the degrees nlust lie over {roln one stated convocation to the next, and the revision of 1861 had the provision that the petition n1ust lie over at least until the next stated 111011th1y convocation, there \vas printed in the revision of 1870, a standing resoluti.on \vhich had been adopted in 1851, declaring: "That the po\ver to grant dispensations to confer degrees under this jurisdiction, rests alone \vith the Grand High Priest, or the Grand Chapter \vhile in session".

Chapter, having ll1ade the charges 1110re definite and certain, held another trial and expelled the accused, who took another appeal to the Grand Chapter, which in the following year (1874) affir111ed the judgnlent.. The other case was one in which C0111panion C., the accused, was charged with disobeying a sUlllmolls-evidently a Sunl1110nS directed to him in connection with the l1on-paynlent of dues. The service of notice of the trial was ll1ade by delivering the notice to the wife of the accused. The trial was ex parte. The COll1111ittee held the attenlpted路 service of notice of the trial was 110 service at all, it not having been nlade according to law, and that the action of the Chapter was null and void as it had not acquired jurisdiction. No further action in the case \vas taken by the Chapter. 1'he sequel to the case is to be found in the Proceedings for 1874. C0111panion C. was a ll1enlber of路 Chapter X, which surrendered its charter during the Civil \Var. 'I'he charter vvas restored after the war and, evidently,Con1!)anion C. had been "counted" as one of its ll1ell1bers, although he never paid any dues after the restoration of the charter. Prior to his decease, Cornpanion C. had been a non-affiliated 1faster Mason for six or eight years. Besides, it seenlecl, that C0I11panion C. had openly and publicly renounced his allegiance to and denot1nced the institution of Freenlasonry. In February, 1874, COl1lpaniol1 C. was taken sick at another City in this state, where Chapter Y. was located, and shortly afterwards died tl1ere. COll1panion C. was cared for by Chapter Y. and that Chapter buried hinl with Ivfasonic honors, all without notice to or authority fronl ChapterX. Chapter X. declined to reinlburse Chapter y~ for the expenses it had incurred. Grand High Priest Xenophon Ryland in disposing of the I11atter first declared that tl1ere was no such thing as <:,:,!;.~,Et~I:"iJ)ur~al, and he then decided that COll1panion C. had no clain1s upon the Fraternity, and that ChapterY.. had 110 legal clain1 against Chapter X., as it had acted without any authority or consent, and, in fact, '\\rithout 1l1aking any enquiry as to the status of Conlpanio11 C.

He also ruled that objection to advancel11ent need not include the reasons therefor and ll1ay be 111ade verbally or in \vriting and should be 111ac1e a 111atter of record in the nlinutes and renlain in force "so long as the objector refuses to\vithdra\v it and relnains a I11enlber of the Chapter". 'fhis decision clarified the \vritten la\v on the subject. l.. . or years the ht\v had been that "not less than five tnenlbers of the Chapter shall be nccesasry to ballot or transact other business; and no Chapter shall l~led unless there be present at least nine regular Royal .i\rch l\"fasol1s".

I-Ie decided that under this regulation a Chapter 11.1ight not retnain open for the transaction of business unless nine Con1. panions continued to be present, at least five of \\ThOn1 l11Ust be l11enlbers of the . Chapter. i\lthough the regulations enlpo\vered the Grand l-lighPriest to grant dispensations to Chapters to receive petitions of Brethren vvho had resided under the jurisdittion of the Chapter less than one year, Judge I{yland refused to grant such dispensations, thinking that one year's residence 'vas short enough, and at his suggestion the regulations \vere anlended and this povver \vas taken frorn the Grand I-ligh Priest. i\S a solution of the problenl arising over invasion of jurisdiction, he required the invading Chapter to apologize to and pay over the fees for the degrees to the Chapter \vhose jurisdiction it had invaded.

appropriating Chapter funds. The suspension was for two years and until C0111panion X. ll1ade refund and satisfactory apology to the Chapter. At a later convocation of the Chapter and before the ternlS of the sentence had been cOll1plied with, and \vithout notice, on nl0tion of a 11lel11ber and by ll1ajority vote, the Chapter voted to reinstate COll1panion X. Judge Anderson declared the action of the Chapter null and void, on the ground that as a prerequisite to reinstatenlent, C0111panioll X. should have petitioned the Chapter therefor, and. that such a petition ll1Ust lie over, the ll1enlbers be notified, and that a t\vo-thirds vote was necessary to grant the petition. Another very interesting question was dealt \vith in his address. "rhe doctrine of perlnanent jurisdiction had been approved in the General C~rand Chapter by the adoption of a resolution declaring that \vhen a petitioner for the degrees had been rejected by any Chapter, 110 other Chapter could confer the degrees upon hi111 without first obtaining the consent of the rejecting Chapter, if still in existence. Judge Anderson denounced this doctrine as "utterly at variance witll \vell settled principles of :rvlasonic Jurispruclence", declared that the Grand Chapter of 1fissouri was the suprenle head of Capitular l\lasonry in l\lissouri, and that its la\v prevailed in this jurisdiction, nan1ely : "any candidate rejected for the degrees 11lay rene\v his petition in the nearest Chapter to his residence, after the lapse of six n10nths".

./\s to the particular question \vhich had been presented to hinl, he, ho\vever, decided that the consent of the rejecting Chapter could be voted by show of hands, the Inajority ruling. Another question of jurisdiction had arisen.. A 1ifissouri Lodge had waived jurisdiction in favor of an Iowa Lodge. The Chapter in Io\va located at the seat of the Io\va I..,.odge, then set up the clainl that as Iowa was the l\lasonic hOlne of the brother in question, as to his I 0dge 1l1etnbership, that it had jurisdiction to receive his petition for the Chapter degrees without \vaiver froll1 the l\Iissouri Chapter in \vhose jurisdiction he resided. It \vas decided, of course~ that the Blue Lodge ~Naiver was not binding on the l\1:issouri Chal)ter and that its waiver \vot11d also be necessary in order to give the Iowa Chapter jurisdiction. 4

Change in Tinte of Annual Convocation At this convocation (1875), the first of a series of anlendll1ents to the regulations \vas proposed concerning the change of time of the annual convocation. After a long struggle, the law was changed and the annual sessions of the Grand Chapter and the Grand Lodge were divorced and held at different seasons of the year, the Grand Lodge in the fall and the Grand Chapter in the spring. As a result, the Grand Chapter held no convocation in the year 1879, and nineteen 1110nths elapsed bet"\veen the convocation of October, 1878, when the amendInent was finally adopted, and the next convocation which occurred in l\1ay, 1880. DecisiOlls and Changes in Law .l\nother controversy over jurisdiction \vas subnlitted to the Con1111ittee on Grievances, in October, 1876, Sanluel Ii. O\vens, chairn1an. l\. brother residing in 10''''''a had petitioned the 1o\va Chapter in whose jurisdiction he lived and at the place ,vhere he had received the SYIl1bolic degrees, and his petition was received by the Chapter. He then catne to 1Iissouri, tenlporarily as he thought, and in Ills absence ,vas duly elected to receive the degrees. His affairs then took such a turn that he decided to I11ake his houle in ]\ifissouri. He 111arried a J\lissouri girl and took up his residence in this state. He then went back to Io\~a and received the Chapter degrees and upon this becollling kno\vn, a ]\Iissouri Chapter c0111plained that its jurisdiction had been invaded. The C0111111ittee sustained the Grancl High Priest and held that the Iowa Chapter having had jurisdiction at the titne the petition was received" retained it. i\t this san1e convocation, the regulations were a111ended and Chapters forbidden to confer any degree upon a candidate \vho had not had his residence within the jurisdiction of the Chapter for at least six 1110nths preceding his petition, without a reconunendation froll1 the Chapter in whose jurisdiction such petitioner last resided. ~rhis changed the tinle fron1 one year to six 111011th5 and sul)stituted reC01111l1enclation of the Chapter in lieu of special pernlission fronl the Grand l-ligh Priest.

The Revisiolt of 1880 The old order had been rapidly changing and still further great changes "vere S0011 to take plact. in the revision \vhich was called for at this convocation. rfhree Past Grand High Priests, Rufus E. Anderson, chairtnan, Joseph S. Bro\vne and Janles Carr, were nanled as the revision con1111ittee, and directed to report at the next regular convocation, May, 1880. The comnlittee had nineteen months in \vhich to do the work. The conl111ittee did nlore than l1lerely revise the regulations; it functioned as a constitutional convention, and its report covered the entire range of Capitular law in a logical !11anner. First canle the constitution, or body of fundanlental la\v; next the Grand Chapter by-laws and rules of order; then the "rules" for the governl11ent of subordinate Chapters, and, finally, the standing resolutions and approved decisions. This report, ,vith S01l1e al11endnlents, was adopted at the convocation of l\lay, 1880. The rnodern period of our Grand Chapter jurisprudence ll1ay be said to date fron1 this tilne. 1~he constitution of 1880 consisted of eight articles. The first article changed the nan1e of OUf Grand Chapter, \vhich had been "Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Missouri", since its establishnlent in 1846, to "Grand Chapter of Royal Arch l\lasons of the State of lv1issouri". 'rhe second article \vas in two sections, in \vhich \vere fully set forth the po\vers and prerogatives of the Grand Chapter as a constitutional l\Jasonic sovereign. 1'he declarations contained in this second article have been carried fOf\Vard in every revision since and are part and parcel of our present constitution \~lithot1t change in any il11portant particular. So in1portant are these declarations, that the entire article is quoted:

POlvers of the Grand Chapter "ARTICLE II. "Section 1. The Granel Chapter of Royal Arch '1,{asons of the State of Missouri is the highest source of authority in Royal Arch Masonry within said state. It clainls, and of right enjoys., the sole governn1ent and superintendence of all Chapters of Royal. Arch 1fasons, and Lodges of Mark, Past and Most }::xcellent Masters, within its jurisdiction.

Up to the tinle of the revision under consideration, the regulations had very little to say about the po\vers and duties of the C;rand ITigh IJriest. rrhe CJrancl Chapter seen1S to have proceeded on the theory that these \vere as \vell governed by general usage and cl1stcnn, and that the inCU111bent \vould kno\v the extent of the po\vers and the scope of the duties inherent in the office. 1'hefifth article of the con-. stitution of 1880 defined these po\vers and duties, and because of the irnportance of the subject, is quoted: HSectinn 1.

Judge Noah 1\1. Givan, of Harrisonville, held the "long ternl" as Grand I-ligh I)riest, that is frOll1 October, 1878, to 1Jay, 1&'30. The first decision announced in his annual address, f ron1 a present-clay vie\vpoint, \vas an unusual one, an<l is quoted in full: ".A,. citizen of Colorado, who is a non-affiliated Royal Arch Mason, but \vho is an affiliated !vfaster路 1fason, Inay petition a Chapter in 1Jfissouri for affiliation and Inembership, and it 路is cOlnpet~nt for the Chapter to receive and act upon路. such petitic)n as though the petitioner was a resident of this state.

during his adnlinistration. A petition for the degrees had been presented and referred to a COll1111ittee, one of whonl was the secretary. r\t the next convocation the secretary was absent and the ll1inutes \vere not available. A favorable report was signed by the chairnlan of the conlnlittee and by two other Conlpaniolls, neither of \VhOll1 had been nanled on the COll1111ittee. The ballot proved "black in the East". At a subsequent convocation, it \vas discovered that thenlistake, as to personnel of the conl111ittee, had been ll1ade. Judge Givan decided that VY'hile the proceedings \vere irregular, that another ballot need not be taken, and the petitioner nll1st wait the required titne. Anotherclecision, \v hich \vas later \vritten into the by-la\vs, \vas to the effect that suspension for N. I:>. I). by the Blue Lodge, ipso facto suspends the COlnpanion in his Chapter.

.44n A'1'tUsin,g Case 1\ very anltlsing case \vas before the cOt1unittee on Grievances, at this convocation (1880): In 1874:*Cornpaniolls X. and Y., as representatives of Chapter A., attended the Grand Chapter. The law in force at the tinle allowed the expenses of one representative, but the custom \vas to divide the expense money among the several representatives of the Chapter. In this instance Companion X. drew the expense tnoney, atnounting to sixteen dollars. Conlpanion Y. deIl1anded one-half of it and ComCompanion X. declined to pay on the ground that Cotnpanion Y., after the first rnorning session. "vent out to the SJ'!iuLJd2J!i~.",,,Eairand did not attend any tnore sessions of the Grand Chapter. Companion X., however, offered to leave the decision of the matter to their Chapter. At the last of several intervie'ws, angry \\iords were spoken and COIllpanion X. then refused to pay the nloney unless the offensive language was withdra\vn by COtllpanion Y.. Companion Y. then preferred charges against CornpanionX. and the trial resulted in his suspension for five years. The cornnlittee sent the case back fora new trial with the adnlonition hI..et these Cotnpani()tls be encouraged to act as Masons shotdd, and settle their differences with that charity about \\1hich \ve talk so Illt1ch. Let all offensive words be \vithdrawn and proper atuends be Illade financially and otherwise, and if this advice is fol1o\ved by the Companions, the whole tuatter \vill end in a love feast instead of expulsion or severe judgments not warranted by the evidence".

seems to have been right in his contention, from a strictly legal standpoint, inasmuch as the regulations of the Grand Chapter provided that no representative should receive expense 1110ney 'who had not 'attended to the duties of the Grand Chapter, at least on the second and succeeding days of .the convocation.

Interference With Annual Convocations The Saint Louis f\gricultural and l\Iechanical Fair \vas an attraction vvhich lured ll1any of the COll1panions fron1 their duty. Grand High Priest Charles F. Leavitt in his annual address October, 1876, in urging change in the tinle for the annual convocation, said: "We are too anxious to get through \\,rith the business of the Grand Chapter in order to vie\v the magnificent exhibitions I11acle at the Fair, sonle things are oI11itted that ought 110t to be, one of the Ill0st inlportant of \vhich is the exetnplification of the \\lark and lectures".

No doubt, the long strnggle over changing the ti1l1e of the annual convocations ,vas occasioned, in part, by the reluctance of sanle of the COl11panions to forego the opportunity of attending the Grand Lodge, the Grand Chapter and the Fair, in one trip to J.\Iissouri's largest city.

Collection of Exaltation Fees Fine as it \vas, the report of the revision C0t111nittee ,vas not perfect. ~~\s previotlsly pointed out, the revenues of the Grand Chapter \ivere changed by the o111ission of the tinlehonored exaltation fee of t\VO dollars. .f\ccording to the address of Grand I-ligh r)riest J(;Ulles E. Cadle, at the succeeding convocation (1\J ay, 1881), the cl11ission \,路as not in the report of the COll1111ittee but in the publication, '4\vhich is unquestionably a l11istake, as the Grand Chapter could not have intended to dilninish its revenue. H~rhe Grand lligh f)riest directed the Grand Secretary to continue to .collect these fees as heretofore, \vhich he did. The l11atter \vas referred to the COl111nittee on Jurisprudence, Noah l\1. Givan, chairlnan, and it proposed an alnenc!tnent to the constitution supplying the \>111ission, \vhich anlendnlellt ,vas adopted in 1\Jay, 1882. In the Ineantinle, the exaltation fees \vere collected by the Grand

Secretary, under a resolution vvhich \vas proposed by the san1e conl111ittee and adopted by the Grand Chapter. Dr.. r\lexander 1\1. Dockery, then Grand Scribe, and soon to be Grand Fligh Priest, and later Governor of l\Iissouri, offered an anlencltnent to the rules governing subordinate Chapters, \vhich ,vas adopted: "N 0 Chapter shall receive the petition of a rej ected applicant for the degrees until six tnonths have elapsed from the date of his rejection. Rejected applicants for tnembership may petition at any succeeding stated Ineeting of any Chapter.. "

Another anlendnlent to the rules \vas adopted, \vhich \vas proposed by ..:\l1en IVlcDo\vell, Grand Lecturer: "For all purposes, except opening and closing the Chapter, and conferring the degrees, nine tnetnbers of the Chapter are necessary to constitute a (~

The C0111111ittee on (~rievances at the convocation of ]\fay, 1882, had before it a very interesting case.

proper. Certain of the \vitnesses were J\Iaster lVfasons, but had progressed no further in Freen1asonry. To receive the testinlony of these \vitnesses, the Lodge of Past l\lasters was "called off" and the \vitnesses then canle in and testified. The C01l1t11ittee held this procedure to be illegal, as it undoubtedly \vas, pointing out that the testinlony of said witnesses should have been taken in the sall1e 111anner as that of profanes, that is by deposition. The case \vas relnanded for a ne\v trial. At the sanle convocation, the COll11nittee on Jurisprudence' settled a question relative to a l1latter of practice in subordinate Chapters~ in the follo\ving langnage: HA Chapter being open on the R. A. degree, tnay dispense with labor in that degree and open regularly on an inferior degree for labor or the transaction of other business proper to be transacted therein, and after doing the w()rk and transacting such business, close the satne \vith appropriate ceren10nies, and then reSUlne in the R. A. degree."

Printing of Correspondent's Report l\ t this convocation, the practice of causing the report on Foreign Correspondence to be printed in advance of the annual convocation "vas instituted at the instance of Judge Givan. 1.'he resolution presented by hinl provided for d~s颅 tribntion by 111ail ten days before the convocation and stated that the report should路 be snbj ect to anlendrnent by the Grand Chapter. In 1110re recent years, the distribntio~as been 111ade on the first day of the convocation, and the report is adopted "sight unseen" (so to speak) and ordered incorporated in the proceedings as a ll1atter of course. In the old days, the report of theC0111111ittee 011 Correspondence was read in Grand Chapter as other cOllllnittee reports. Its adoption \vas frequently the subject of debate on one or nlore points, and there were 1l1any occasions vvhen it had to be anlended and then adopted, and occasionally portions of the report \vould be o111itted entirely and the reulainder only adopted.

Priest Er\vin Ellis, IVlay, 1883, did not include the decision of any knotty problen1s, as a brief revie\v \\Till sho\v: 1. 'rhe High Priest Il1USt deterlnine whether there is satisfactory evidence of suspension or expulsion in the Blue Lodge before authorizing the Chapter to n1ake a record tenninating the relations of the Companion vvith the Chapter. 2. An absolute dimit from the Blue Lodge makes the brother a voluntary non-affiliate and he loses his standing in the Chapter accordingly. 3. \Vhen a brother is suspended for N. P. D. by his Blue Lodge, ipso facto, he is suspended in his Chapter, notwithstanding his Chapter dues may have been paid a year in advance. 4. l\.. Chapter is set to work under charter and its officers Installed; they serve for one full year and until their successors are elected and installed. 5. In installing officers, a Chapter tl1ust first n1eet at its regular place of tneeting and open regularly; it may, then repair to another place and hold joint installation with the Blue Lodge.

The Revision of 1885 J\t the Convocation of IVlay, 1884, Grand FlighPriest Dockery in his annual address stated that he had no decision to report; that in no instance had any case arisen\vhich called for anything luore than the application of \vell-established principles. 'I'he Jurisprudence Conl111ittee reported that "nothing claitlled their consideration." Such a situation denlanded and received attention. A cOl1ltl1ittee \vas appointed to revise the constitution and by-Ia\\~s and report at the next convocation, consisting of I~ee 1\.

The ll1ethocl of voting \vas \vritten into the constitution.

The distinction bet\veen tenlporary and pern1anent objections to ac1vancenlent \vas introduced into the code, it being left to the I-ligh Priest to decide \vhich sort of an obj ection \\ras ll1acle. If the objection \vere per111anent, the petitioner \vas treated as though rejected and he could re-petition after six 111onths. This applied to obj ections ll1ac1e prior to the conferring of any of the degrees. If .objection \vere ll1acle after a degree had been conferred, it had to be follo\vecl by the preferring of charges \vithin ~,~x 1110nths, other\vise the Chapter had the right to disregard the objectiop.

which the revision \vas adopted. The 11l0St serious question \vhich arose in his aeJn1inistration \vas under a provision of the la\\' \vhich had been introduced into the code in the revision of 1880 and carried into the current revision~ viz: "'No petition for the degrees in the Chapter can be received fronl one who is not at the titne an affilated ~faster 1fasol1. ...A.nd if after having becotne a tnember of the Chapter, he shall beC0t11e a non-affiliated l\ifason, and voluntarily renlain so for t\vel ve tnonths he shall forfeit his privileges as a n1etnber of said Chapter."

Under this section, he held, first, that \vhen the dis:lbility as a non-affiliate ceased as to the SY111bolic Lodge, any disability in the Chapter as a consequence thereof \vas at once renloved; and, second, that Chapters should take notice both of the existence and terlnination of any disability in the Syn1-

and govern their o\vn records accordingly. "',c,'~'

developnlent of the la\v in our (~randCh"~pter has 110\\1 been reached in this study \vhere the explanation can be fully I11ade. Such an explanation involves a general discussion of OUf Capitular la\v as it has related to requiring SY111bolic I~odge ll1etnbership as a prerequisite to Chapter n1en1bership. For clarity, this discl1ssiotl\vil1 be nlade in accordance vvith the follc)\ving division of the entire subject: 1. Nlen'lbership in a I .. odge ofl\laster l.fasons as a prerequisite to tnclnbership in a Chapter by initiation; II.

In the original rules and regulations of the Grand Chapter of 1\.1 issotlri, there is not one \vord \vhich indicates that a petitioner for the Chapter degrees I11USt be one who had been

raised to the sllblinle degree of 1Taster l\Iason. The same is true of the revision of 1850 and of the General Grand Chapter constitutions then in effect. Of course, it rnust be conceded that as a ll1atter of the "COnl111011 la\v" of Royal Arch 1,fasonry no person \vas eligible to the Capitular degrees vvho had not regularly received the preceding degrees. Conceding that this \vas the uC0t111110n la\v," our question is ~7hether the petitioner for the Chapter degrees n1ust be a n1enlber in good standing of a Syt11bolic Lodge in order that the petition ll1ay be received bya 1\r issouri Chapter. The original rules and regulations, the revision of 1850, and the General ,Grand Chapter constitutions \vere all silent on that subject. It isunderstoorl that in S0111e parts of the l.Jnited States, at an early day, \vhen the theory H()nce . . ~ l\Jason, l\l\vays a l'v1asoll" \vas at its n1eridian height, a lVlaster IVIason "vas eligible to petition for and receive the Chapter degrees, notwithstanding he had (linlitted f ronl his 131ue l.,1odge. l\s the law was silent on the snbject, it is probahle that, even in l\lissouri, sOl11eCliapters had follo\lved that practice, fOf, other'Arise, there ,vould have been no occasion for the adoption, by OUf' Grand Chapter, in 1\Jay, 1854, of the follo\ving standing resolution: "Resolved further, That no Chapter \vithin this jurisdiction shan advance any~Jaster Mason to the degrees conferred herein, unless such IVfaster 1fason is, at the titne of rnaking application for said degrees, a metnber of SOIne Lodge of !\laster 'tvlasons, in the active discharge of his duties and obligations as such."

The original rules and regulations of the Grand Chapter of l\Jlissouri contained this rule: "RULE XVII.

OF ME11BERS AND \TISITORS.

"No person shall be adn1itted a 111ember or visitor 0 f any Chapter under this jurisdiction unless he shall have regularly received the degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, 1faster !vlason, 1clark Master, Past Master, 110st Excellent Master, and Royal Arch :NIason, in a regularly constituted Chapter or Lodge; nor shall any person be admitted who is under suspension or expulsion."

I t is to be noted that this rule only applied to Royal Arch lVlasons \vho desireel to affiliate vvith or visit a l\Iissouri Chapter and it had no application to petitioners for the degrees. As has been previously 111entionec1, this rule \vas olnitted in the revision of 1850 and no rule on the subject \vas included in that revision. One reason for the olnission \vas that there \vere regular l~oyal f\rch 1\la50ns in the \vorld \vho had not received the ~. ~~:S,~!~~,IY""".{Jegl~,ee1:* 1'he other reason \vas that the General (~rand Chapter constitution contained the follo\ving provision, which governed: "N~ person having been a IneInber of a Chapter or Lodge shall be adrnitted a Inenlber of any other Chapter or Lodge under this j urisdiction, until he shall have produced a certificate froIll the Chapter or Lodge to \vhich he last belonged that he 'was in regular standing, and as -~~i; at his own request is clis!l1issed and reconl1nended."

1"'he \vorc1 "Lodge" in this section does not refer to the Syn1bolic Lodge, but to certain I.. odges of l\Iark 1\Iasters chartered by the General Grand Chapter. The reason underlying this provision of the General Grand *The General Grand ChU1Jter constitution \vas a.nH~xHled, St:~ptenlb(~r, 1850, by the adoption of the foll()\ving: u'l~hat any \v()rth~w Corn .. panion f1'o01 without th(~ jurisdietion of the L"nit(~d States, who n1~:I.Y present himself as ,1, Royal Arch Mason and produce satisfaet(Jry evidenee of his h~l vin g received that degr(~e, thn. teaeh and ev<~r.Y' Chapter under the ju risdiction of this G(oneral Grand Chapter ha'V(~ liberty, and they are hereb)' auth()l-ized, to e(Hlft~l'" the degrees of Mark Master, Past IVIasteX' and Most

Chapter constitution \vas the lack of uniforn1ity in practice in requiring or not requiring 111enlbership in a Blue Lodge as a condi tion to continuing l11enlbership in good standing in a Chapter. In S0111e parts of the 路United States, for exarnple, a Conlpanion tnight continue to be in good standing in his Chapter l10tvvithstanding he had clinlitted fronl his Blue Lodge, or had been suspended or even expelled fronl it. The constitutional provision sinlply 111eant that \vhen a COl11panion applied for affiliation and presented his certificate (that is, his dinlit'), that the Chapter applied to 111t1st receive the petition for affiliation vvithout looking behind the certificate or ditnit to ascertain vvhether the C0111panion \vas still a l1lenlber in good standing of a SY111bolic Lodge. The last clause of the ivlissonri rule quoted \vas in conflict '\ivith this constitutional provision and, necessarily, \vas Oll1itted in the revision of 1850. The provisions of the revision of 1861 relating to dinlits \vere sinlilar to those of the General Grand Chapter constitution, viz: "No Con1panion having been a 111enlber of a Chapter shall be admitted a menlbcr of any Chapter under this j urisdictioll until he shall produce a dil11it frorn the Chapter to \vhich he last belonged, certifying that he was in regular standing, and, as such, at his own request, is disll1issed and recoInnlended; provided, that if such Chapter be no longer in existence, other evidence of such facts may be received."

The saIne \'lording \vas carriecl into the revision of 1870, \vith the exception that the concluding proviso was; "and, if such Chapter be no longer in existence, a dill1it ll1t1st be procured fronl the Grand Secretary of that jurisdiction.'" l"he constitution of 1880 covered the Illatter in Section 18: "No Companion shall hold rnenlbership in more than one Chapter at one and the same tinle; nor shall anyone be adtnitted to menlbcrshipin this jurisdiction until he shall have produced a certificate from the Chapter of 'which he was last a ll1enlber, that he was in good standing at the time, and as such, at his o\vn request, had been regularly diIl1itted therefronl."

The "rules" of 1880 contained this additional requiren1ent: HN 0 COIl1panion can legally

beCOll1e a men1ber of a Chapter in this jurisdiction until he has produced satisfactory evidence that he has p~id aU dues and dexnands against him in the Chapter of which he was previously a nlenlber."

Section ninety-t\vO of the by-la\vs of 1885 was the same as the constitutional provision of 1880 just quoted. In addition, the by-la\vs of 1885 provided: ('No Chapter in this jurisdiction shall entertain a petition for membership unless the same is accompanied by a din1it, or some other documentary evidence of the good standing of the applicant, and his release froln tnembership in his fornler Chapter. Provided, that no fee for affiliation shaH be charged \vhen the ditnit of the petitioner is not over twelve months old."

It was not until the revision of 1901, that the principle \vas introduced into our Capitular jurisprudence, that a IVlissouri Chapter nlight go behind the din1it and ascel-tain whether or no the petitioner hold ll1en1bership in a Blue Lodge. Section 176 of the 1901 by-laws required, for the first tinle, that the petitioner for affiliation state in his petition "the nanle, nUll1ber and location and jurisdiction of the Lodge with which he is affiliated." 'fhis is still the 1a\v in l\Jissouri.

III. CONTINU.A.TION OF SYl\'IBOLIC LODGE I\IEl\I11ERSIiIP. Granted that a l\Iaster l\Iason in good standing in his Blue Lodge had becolne a 1l1etl1ber of a Chapter in clue fornl either by initiation or affiliation, \vas he obliged to continue a 111etnber in good standing in a Syt11bolic Lodge it?路 order to 111aintain his good standing as a 111enlber of a Chapter of Royal r\rch l\'fasons? In these 1110dern days, the asking of such a question vvould rate the inquirer as anl0ng the leastwell-infornled ll1el11bers of the Craft. But there\~as a tinlewhen this question 111ight as well be ans\vered in the negative as in the affirn1ative, by the best infornled. For exanlple: In his report to the 'friennial of 1847 General Grand Secretary Charles (}ih11an said: UThe following are among the great nutnber of questions that have been submitted to me for opinions during the last vacation: . . . . . V\'hen a Royal Arch]vfasoll, who is a tnember of a Chapter, shall be expelled frOIl1 the rights and privileges of M,asonry by a Grand Lodge, in the same state, is he thereby expelled as a Royal Arch Mason? If so, and he shallafter\vards be restored by the sanle power, does such restoration necessarily reinstate hin1 as a tnemher of the Chapter? Or should he be路 balloted for as a ne\v applicant for tnelnbership ?"

The General Grand Secretary did not report \vhat ans,ver, if any, he made to the inquiry; and that subject nlatter of his report was not even ref erred to a COll1t11ittee and consequently the General Grand Chapter did not pass upon the questions.

For convenience, the discussion of this third and final phase of aUf subject will be developed with relation to the three ways in \vhich SYlllbolic Lodge ll1enlbership 111ight be discontinued, viz: A... By suspension or expulsion for unmasonic condtlct. B. By suspension for N. P. D. C.

By dimit.

A.-SUSPENSION OR EXPULSIC)N. The original rules ancI regulations of our Grand Chapter did not recognize suspension as anleans of discipline; as to expulsions, they provided: No COl11panion shall be expelIed fraul this, or any subordinate Chapter under its jurisdiction, . . . unless by the vote of three-fourths of the l11enlbers present.

The revision of 1850 \vas substantially the sanle. Evidently, suspension or expulsion by a SYll1bolic Lodge could not affect the st'anding of a COll1panion in his Chapter. The la\v guaranteed hinl against expulsion fron1 his Chapter I11enlbership, except by and under the processes of the Chapter. Archibald Patterson" \vas chairnlan of the revision C0t11111ittee of 1850; he \vas also a ll1clnber of the C0t11111ittee on Correspondence. After the revision ,vas adopted and safely. out of the \vay, the report of the COll1111ittee on Correspondence canle upon the路 floor of our Grand Chapter. 1"'he foIlovv-ing is quoted froll1 that report: The COlntnittee, with the view of ()btaining an expression of opinion of the Grand Chapter upon the effect of suspension orexpulsioI1 of a Royal Arch 11asotl, fronI a Blue Lodge, for tlnn1asonic conduct, pre.. sent the subj oined resolution as expressive of their own vic\vs, and ask its adoption. Resolved, that suspension or expulsion frolll a Lodge of Master Masons, for UlltllaSonicconduct, operates todisquali fy a Royal Arch Mason from his privileges as such.

The resolution was ac1opted.* But, had the proposition not been at least a debatable one, at that tinle, it \vould have been included in the revision. Or, had the c0111nlittee not thought that its resolution was revolutionary in character, it would not have been presented in so tinlid and apologetic a ll1anner. This resolution \vas not included anlong the standing resolutions in the reprint of 1869, and the revision of 1861 contained a provision, \vhich, it is assull1ecl, \vas thought to have rescinded the resolution, viz: "'N 0 Companion shall be suspended or expelled by any Chapter under this jurisdiction until after trial is had, due notice first having been given." Un~ler the revision of 1870, suspension or expulsion by the Blue Lodge \vas ll1ade, ipso facto, suspension or expulsion in the Chapter, \vithollt a trial, and restoration in the Lodge \vas nlac1e restoration in the Chapter, unless the accused had also been tried, found guilty and sentenced in the Chapter.

B.-SUSI::>ENSION I:iOI{ N.P. D. During his ternl of office, October, 1878, to 1fay, 1880, as has been 111entionec1, Judge Noah 1v1. Givan, C;rand 11igh Prjest, decided that under the provisions of the revision of 1870, suspension by the I~lt1e Lodge, inclurled suspension for N. P. D., and that therefore suspension by the l~lue Lodge for N.. P. D., ipso facto, resulted in suspension in the Chapter. Grand IIighPriest Er\vin Ellis rendered a sill1i1ar decision during his tern1, 1882-83. 1~hese decisions have since been vvritten into the by-la\vs. *At its Triennial, Septernber, 1850,\vhichfollowed the adoption of this resolution by the Grand ChaptE.~r of Missouri, the f(Jllowing resolution was adopted by the General Grand Chapt('r: t路H.esolvf~d, That in the opinion of this GtHH__ ral GrH.nd ChtllJt(~r, all p<:-.rsons who have been ex!>elled or StlSI)(~nded for unmasoni路(~ contI U('t bY~U1Y regular Lodge or Gra.nd I~odge of competent jurisdietion fronl all the righ ts and privileges of IVfusonry, shoUld be fc)rbidden to 'visIt or sit in any Grand or Subor(iinat(~ Chtlpter of lloyal Areh 1\!asoIls in this jurisdiction, ()I" in th(~ Gent~ral Orand Chapt(~r; and that it is the duty of Hoyal .Areh Masolls to a.bstain frorn all ~1'asonic conlm unication "rith persons so expelled or suspendE~d, until tlH'Y sh<tll be duly restored to those rights and priVileges."

C.-DI1\IIT. There \vas a tinle in l\lissotlri, as \vell as in other Grand Jurisdictions, \vhen a l\iaster l\Iason could take a dinlit from his Blue Loc1ge,be relieved of the responsibility of paying dnes and attending COll1111unications, and at the sanle tinle visit his o"vn and other Lodges, take part in the work, install officers and, \vhen he died, be given the honor of 1'1asonic burial. "Once ._g.. . J\J!1§QPL~~l~yCl.y§ a l\Iason." Diulitted lVIaster l\Iasons were knoVlorn as "non-affiliates"; vvhen the controversy abol1t thetl1 \\;l'as at its height, sonle called thenl "drones". \\,7 e cannot d"vell here upon the particulars of the controversy over the "drones" in the Grand Lodge of l\Iissouri; our concern is \vith their status in Capitular circles.Ouf particular problenl at this tinle is the question: i\Conlpanion is a nlen1ber in good standing in his Chapter and his 131ue Lodge; what effect does the procuring of a dinlit fron1 his l~lt1e I~odge have upon his Chapter 111elUbership? f\pparently, prior to the revision of 1880, it had no effect. Under the provisions included in that revision, as has been pointed out, if a C0l11panion becanle a non-affiliated }\Tason and voluntarily renlained so for t"velve tnonths he forfeited his privileges as a Illenlber of the Chapter. 1"'he sanle provision ,vas included in the revision of 1885, and that of 1901. The revisioI,!"",~2.,~ 19 \vas as silent upon the subject as v~Tas the law prior to 1880. ()ur present by-la\vs cover the subject succinctly, in Section 165: HIn order to I11aintain their standing, n1etnbers nlust be affiliated \vith and in good standing in a regular l ..odge of Master. Masons."

Opinion Respecting Higlt,er Degrees If the reader has followed this discussion of this intricate phase of Capitular law closely he nUlst have noticed that underlying its developtllent ran the gradually shifting course of opinion respecting the '~higher" degrees of I~reelnaSOI1ry. 1'\\'0 distinct concepts 111<lrk that course: l=«'irst, the old concept, that the (legrees lying "beyond~' the SYlllbolic degrees \vere 1110re itnportant and their con f erence gave the recipient Hrank" above those who had not attained

theIn, and that the bodies governing the "higher" degrees were 1110re potent and \vere, so to speak, a law unto tllen1selves and superior to anything "beneath" thenl. Second, the true and nl0dern concept that the Synlbolic degrees are the 1110St inlportant in all Freenlasonry and that the Syll1bolicLodges, Grand and Subordinate, are the 1110st inlportant governing bodies in our ancient Fraternity, and hold and of right enjoy the sanle fttndanlental po\vers as they did in the clays \vhen there \vere no other degrees or bodies in Freenlasonry.

Appointment of Standing Comnlittees \\le 110\V return to the proceedings of 11ay, 1886: The l110dern practice of announcing the appointI11ent of chairnlen of standing COlll111ittees for the ensuing year at the close of the Grand Chapter \vas instituted at this convocation by the adoption of a resolution introduced by I)ast Grand Fligh F)riest Joseph S. }3ro\vne and the prOl11pt action of Grand IIigh f)riest elect I{obert F. Stevenson iU1Jnediately follo\ving his installation.

High Pressure Methods 1"he obtaining of Chapter petitions by high-pressure 111ethoc1s had been receiving the attention and adverse COlllll1ent of the Grand IIigh IJriests in .these years. It renlained, h()\~ever, for Grand lIigh I)riest Stevenson to deal \vitha Illost unusual situation. In the case \vhich caIne to his attention, the solicitor \vas so anxious to get the petition that he advanced the fee out of his o\vn funds. The petitioner \vas elected, but, rnean\vhile, had suffered financial reverses and refused to proceed, as he could not see his way clear to repay the anl0unt of the fee. The solution proposed was to draw a warrant in favor of the fee-advancer and charge the aIllount to a ledger account to be opened under the petitioner's nanle. "Uncle r:~ob" (as so 111any of us called hinl) recognized the fact that under the lavv the fee of an elected petitioner is the property of the Chapter, but on account of the peculiar facts surrounding the case, ordered the Inoney paid over to the over-zealous C0111panion \vho advanced it and "the \vhole proceeding held

for naught." rrhe Jurisprudence Conl111ittee approved this decision on condition that it be not considered a precedent. Another decision, \vhich l11ust be nlentioned, on account of its ill1portance, \vas to the effect that in the 111atter of \vaiver of jurisdiction, full po\ver is vested in the subordinate Chapter, and the C;ranc1 lIigh I)riest has nothing to do \'lith it.

Chartge in ,,4nnual Cortvocatioll. At this convocation a proposal \vas tIled to anlencl the la\v and change the tin1e of annual convocation to the first Thursday after the second 1~uesday in ,i>\pril, \vhich \vas adopted at the convocation of l\lay, 1888.

Decisions of Reuben Barney f\ t that convocation Grand I-Jigh I'riestReuben 13arney announced t\VO decisions, \v hich \vere duly approved. The first \vas that a cOllunittee on a petition 111USt report \vithin one 1110nth, t1nlt~ss the tilne be extendc<l by the Chapter. 'rhe other had to do \vitb the troublesonle 111atter of the J)ast 1\Ja5ters and he reiterated the 1a\v on the subject in holding that a Chapter l11ay not conf er the degree of }>ast l\laster upon a rie\vly elected l\laster of a SYl11bolic Lorlge, \vho is 110t a l\Iark 11aster. lIe rccollunended increasing the salary of the Grand Secretary to t\velve hundrc(l dollars per year, on account of the increase in duties ancl burdens of the office, but the reC0111111endatiol1 did not receive any attention.

Decisions of Williant B. Wilson, The expressions used in the annual address of Grand I-ligh F>riest \Villianl 13. \\rilsOll (l\priI, 1889) are so terse that reference to the report of the COIUlllittee on Jurisprudence (Xenophon l"{ylal1cl, chairlnan) is necessary in order to corne to a full understanding of the facts invol ved in his decisions, all of \vhich \vere approved by the C01111uittee and the C1rand

Chapter. In the first case there \vas involved a nlost vital question as to Chapter records and l'uinutes. 1\ C01l1panion had petitioned

a Chapter for affiliation and the petition \vas received and referred at the stated 1110nthly convocation. At the follo\ving stated nlonthly convocation, the petitioner ,vas duly elected to 111e111bership, but no l1linute record \vas l1lade of the fact that ballot \vas taken and the result thereof. The report of the C0111111ittee on Jurisprudence dealt \vith the ll1atter thoroughly and S0111e of the very language used later found its \vay into our by-laws and is today a part thereof (see Sectio11 74), the report is quoted: "The secretary having failed to observe and record this proceeding, the Chapter had and has full and ample authority to supply the onlission and correct the record by stating the facts as they occurred. The minutes of a Chapter are not adopted; they are approved as a true record of its proceedings. If they do not furnish a correct staten1ent of the business of the Chapter they ought to be revised and ll1ade to conform to the facts, and the Chapter is the body to do this."

The second decision \vas to announce the 110\V \vell-kno\vn principle of l\Iasonic la\v that \vhen a petition has been regularly received and referred~ it cannot be \vithdra\Vll but ll1Ust be disposed of by ballot. This decision \vas in acc()rdance \vith a ne\v section introduced into the revision of 1885. tInder the revision of 1880, the petition could have been \vithclra\vn \vith the consent of at least three-fourths of the rnenlbers present at the convocation. It \vas further pointed out by the C0111111ittee that: 路'It is cOlnpetcnt for a COlnpanion to object to the reception of a petition and the objection must be heeded, but no objection can be entertaiIle~ to prevent a ballot. If fronl any cause the objecting Illetnber be unable to attend and ballot on the application his \vritten obj ection will arrest the conferring of the degrees."

1"he third decision re-stated the la\v as it had previously been declared by Judge Ryland \vhenGrand I-ligh I)riest, viz: It is not necessary in order to arrest the conferring of the degrees that the obj ector Inust state the grounds of his obj ection. ()nIy the fact of objection, with the nall1C of the objector, tl1ust be duly recorded in the nlinutes to be valid, and\\'hen so 111ade the obj cction will retuain in force so long as the objector refuses to \vithdra\v it and relllains a Illenlber of the Chapter. But objections to advanCClllent after conferring a degree l11USt be follo\ved by charges and trial as provided in Section 91.

These t\VQ questions bore directly upon the state of the la\v at the til11e relative to Lodge affiliation as a prerequisite to Chapter l11enlbership, \vhich has just been discussed: Does Section 70 of the by-la \\7S, requiring an applicant for the degrees to be an affiliated Master lvfason, apply to petitioners for membership? Ans\ver: No. Can a Chapter receive a petition from a Companion \vhose application for affiliation has been presented to but not yet acted upon by a Blue Lodge? Answer: \1" es, provided, he is not a voluntary non-affiliate under the la\v.

To insure a correct understanding of these holdings, Section 70, is quoted again: No petition for the degrees in the Chapter can be r,eceived from OIle ",rho is not at the time an affiliated Master Mason1f and if, after having becorne a lnenlber of the Chapter, he shall becOIne a nonaffiliated 11ason, and voluntarily renlain so for t\velve 111onths, he shall forfeit his privilege as a Inenlber of said Chapter. ~4ttelldance at

"fhe succeeding Grand I-ligh Priest, Janles P. \Vood, in his address i\pril, 1890, called attention to the fact that the Grand Council (the first fOUT Grand Officers) \vere expected to attend the convocations of the General Granc1Chapter, yet there ,vas no provision 11lade for the paynlent of the expenses involved in such attendance, and suggested. that they be allowred per dienl of three dollars and 111ileage of t\VO cents. 'I'his proposal \vas certainly fair and just, but it canle at an inopportune titHe: Grand Chapter finances were not in a healthy condition and the surplus \vas growing less and less every year. 13ecause of this condition, the suggestion was not acted upon, and an anlend111ent was proposed seeking to change the by-laws so as to linlit the payn1ent of nlileage and per dienl to one representative ÂŁ1"0111 each Chapter and reduce the tnileage fronl four cents to three cents. This proposal \vas laid over to the next convocation..

AdministratiOlt of Jantes B. Austin The atnendnlent \vhich had been laid over, \vas acted upon

at the convocation of i\pril, 1891, by reducing the 111ileage to three cents. 1'he proposal to linlit the paynlent to one representative ÂŁr01n each Chapter \vas voted do\vn. In his address at this convocation, Grand I-ligh Priest J atlles B. Austin gave special attention to the 111atter of non-affiliates: I have reliable infofl11ation \vhich leads nle to believe there are many Royal Arch 1tfasons who are not affiliated \vith any Lodge of Master Masons and who have become non-affiliates by neglect or not kno\ving the law of this Grand Chapter.

rIe then called attention to the provision of the by-Ia \VS previously referred to herein: "No petition for degrees in the Chapter can be received fronl one \vho is not at the titne an affiliated1.f aster 1;{ason and if a fter having becoIne a Illenlber of the Chapter he shall becolne a non-affiliated Mason and voluntarily renlain so for t\velve l110nths he shall forfeit his privileges as a nlcnlber of said Chapter."

lIe suggested that each, lIigh Priest take a census of his Chapter to ascertain the I.,oc1ge ll1enlbership of each COll1panion. FIe also called attention to Section 131, of the 1885 by-Ia\vs: "A suspension or expulsion for any cause by a Lodge of 1Iaster 11asons is effectually a suspension or expulsion from a Chapter of Royal' Arch M'asol1s."

I-Ie then referred to the rulings in the General Grand Chapter at its last Triennial.. l'\he C~elleral Grand ITigh I)riest had announced that there \vas 110 la\\' of the General Grand Chapter \vhich prohibited the conferring of the degrees upon a regularly dinlitted l\laster l\Tason. This prol1ouncenlent ,vas sustained by the (;eneral Gral1(ICha pter Conunittee 011 Jurisprudence \vhich suggested "that if affiliation 'was a condition prec.edent for receiving any de... grees in the Chclpter the sanle qualification ought to be essential for retainingme1l1bership \vhen accepted."

Follo\ving this, the f ollo\ving resolution had been adopted at the Triennial: "Resolved, that tl1cnlbership in a Chapter should be dependent upon alldco-existent \vith nlctubership in a Lodge of Freemasons.'"

Chapter Burial The question of Chapter burial had arisen again and the COll1nlittee on Jurisprudence (Rev. Charles C. \\Toads, chairll1an) approved the decision of the Grand Iligh F)riest, "that there is at present 110 l\Iasonic la\v or usage authorizing such pernlission." In the particular case under consideration, the Grand rligh Priest had refused pern1ission to a subordinate Chapter to bury one of its rnetllbers. 'I'heChapter, ho\vever, buried its deceased COll1panion nevertheless and \vas not disciplined in any \val'.

In the case of a saloon-keeper ,vho \vas a ll1enlber of a Chapter but a Lodge non-affiliate (and it \vas legally inlpossible for hinl to affiliate \vith a Lodge so long as he continued in that occupation), he decided that he had forfeited all his rights as a Chapter nlelnber and should be dropped froll1 the Chapter roll. In another case, there ,vas a Chapter 111enlber, \vho had presented his dinlit to a Blue Lodge and petitioned for affiliation and had been rejected. He decided that the C0111panion \vas not a voluntary nonaffiliate and had t\velve nl0nths of good standing in the Chapter ÂŁ1"0111 the date of his rejection by the Lodge, as he ,vas not voluntarily a non-affiliated 1Iaster l\Iason. l\lostExcellent C0111panion l\Icl\J illan had been a Inenlber of the General Grand Chapter C01l1111ittee on NOlnenclature and presented the report of that conunitttee to ou r Grand Chapter, \ivhich adopted it, thereby establishing in l\Jissouri tbe titles for Grand Chapter and subordinate Chapter officers, ,vhich are still in nse.

He also decided that proceedings against a COll1panion for N. P.

The decision was that the full fee of not less than thirty dollars 111tlst be paid. A Chapter changed its by-la\vs lesseni!~g,theconlp~!1Â sation of the office of Sentinel. 1\10st Exceil~t1t Conlpa~ion Pa;~;n decided that the Sentinel in office at the tinle of the change \vas entitlec} to cOll1pensation at the rate in effect at the tinle of his installation and that his pay could not be legally decreased during the terlll for \vhich he \vas elected. Other decisions \vere nlerely re-iterations of the la \v. 1"he fact that SOBle Chapters had interpolated 111t1sic in the degrees rendered by 1l11tsicians \vho\vere not tllel11bers had the dr<lstic attention of (~ral1dJ-ligh I)riest Parsoll. I-Ie issued a circular upon the subject and referred to the 1llatter in his annual address, l\pril, 1893: "If nlusic constitutes a part of the ceretnollies, certainly none btlt the initiated have a right to take part. The nlere hanging of a curtain in the Lodge roon1 does not take the portion behind it out of the tiled precincts."

As a 1l1eanS of eCOn0I11Y, he suggested shortening the report of the COll11nittee on Correspondence: "11y idea is that a brief outline of the doings of the other Grand Chapters, noticing only in1portant events, is. all that is necessary."

Dr. Kuhn ll1ac1e another proposal, the adoption of which ll1arked the abandonUlent of a practice which had continued from the very beginning of Royal Arch l\fasonry in Missouri. That proposal authorized the Grand Chapter by t\vo-thirds vote to decide to hold an annual convocation else\\rhere than in its ancient seat, the City of Saint Louis. * lJpon the proposed anlendn1ent having received 1110re than a two-thirds vote of Chapters and individuals, Dr. I<uhn invited the Grand Chapter to hold its next annual convocatiOI=1, April, 1894, in Kansas City, and the invitation \vas l1uanin1otlsly accepted.

Portraits and Sketches The printed Proceedings of the convocation held in Kansas City are unique in that for the first tinle in OUf Grand Chapter history they have as a frontispiece the portrait of the Grand High Priest.

The Conl111ittee reported the follo\ving year, reC0t11111ending the use of '"the I~oclge service, \vith such changes and additions as ll1ay be necessary". An an1endn1ent to the by-Iavvs \vas adopted requiring the Grand I-lighPriest to divide the state into nine districts, each district 路to be uncler the supervision of the nine line officers of tbe Grand Chapter, beginning \vith the l)eputy Grand High Priest. Each officer \vas required to visit the Chapters in his district at least once each yeal-, investigate, report, etc. The Grand Lectnrer \vasauthorizecl to appoint a deputy lectnrer for each of the districts.

Revision Contnzittee of 1904 Grand I-1igh J?riest 1\1 cDo\vell stated in his address that he had "not been called npon to render an opinion that conlcl properly be called a decisicHl on any controverted point of la\v or usage". l"he C01l1111ittee on Jurisprudence, T. \7. :l\IclVlillin, chairnlcUl, rel)ortecl that '路the la\v is so plain and \\'ell understood that no decisions have been required during the past year:- therefore leaving nothing for this C01111l1ittee to do". These statell1ents evidently caused the good old l\Tasonic question to be asked, "In this extrenlity. \vhatdo you advise?" But the Grand Chapter, instead of calling on the C~randChap颅 lain, authorized the appointn1ent of a conunittee H to revise and codify the by-la\vs" and report the fc>l1c)\ving '\~rhis duty\vas itnposed upon the inccnning C;rand Council, Dr. Corona H. Briggs, Grand lligh r)riest; i\lvin llaynie, I. 1\1. l\brahan1 and \\7ilIian1 F. Kuhn. This revision cOllullittee recognized that there had not l)een 111any changes in the Ia\v and very \visely perforlned its task by asselnbling all the an1el1chllents. to the constitution <111c1 byla\vs \vhich had been adopted since the revision of 1885, in 1111111erical order.

revision of 1885, tnade easily and readily accessible the constitution and laws of the Gtanc1 Chapter.

Physical Qualifications Dr. Corona H. Briggs, novI Dean of JVlissouri's Past Grand High Priest~'< during his achninistration rendered a decision of outstanding interest and importance. rrhe case ,vas this: i\. brother, \vho had previously been advanced to the degree of Mark n,iaster and inf~9~ed into the Oriental Chair, had the 111isfortune to lose hi~ncl. Objection \vas 111ade, urging that the brother ,vas not physically qualified to be received and acknowledged a 1\1. E. 1\1., or to be exalted. It \vas the Granc1 High Priest's decision that the brother' \vas entitled to receive the ren1aining degrees. In approving this decision, the COlllnlittee on Jurisprt1dence helel that the brother had a "vested right" to those degrees, and that his ll1isfortune could not deprive hin1 of that right, although he \voulcl have been ineligible had the physical defect existed at the tinle he petitioned the Chapter. The report of the C0111nlittee ,vas adopted. This decision focused attention upon the ancient doctrine of "physical perfection", \vhich \vas held to be a Landnlark by nlany l11elnbers of the Craft, but which had been questioned by nlany other Freel11asons. The approval of the decision by the Grand Chapter placed it in an equivocal position.. Certainly, if it be said that a candidate had to be physically perfect to be exalted, how could that reql.lirelllent be legally \vaived in any case? On the other hand, if it be said that a nlainlecl candidate could be legally exalted, what logical reason was there for rejecting the l)etition of a 111ainled IVIaster l\i1ason (otherwise qualified) who petitioned for the Chapter degrees? The way was opened for a re-exan1ination of the entire subject, and the final outconle" after a hattIe royal, \-vas a trit1t11ph for the principle that internal and not external qualifications recoIllnlend a 111an to f . . l'"eelnasonry.. At the titne the decision canle before the Grand Chapter ( 1895) the by-law relating to physical qualifications, Section i2 of the 1885 revision, was: ~

prevent him from complying literally with the ceremonies of the degree, his admission win not be considered as an infringement of the Ancient Landmarks but, on the contrary, will be perfectly consistent with the spirit and intent of the Institution."

In discussing the question, \Villian1 H. l\:fayo in his report on correspondence in 1892 had said, after quoting this section, "this law is construed as liberally as its plain n1eaning and evident intent will allow" . At the convocation of 1896, Dr. Kuhn proposed-as a substitute for Section 72, the brief statenlent that "Physical .perfection is not required in this Grand Jurisdiction". This proposal does not appear ever to have conle to a vote in the Grand Chapter. In 1898, Dr. I(uhn, in his address as Grand High Priest, again brought the question before the Grand Cl1apter by succinctly renlarking that "l\'1asonry should not dra\v the line so closely on wooden or cork legs and arnlS, but tllOre closely on wooden and cork heads"" A revision was called for at the convocation of 1899. The revision COIllt11ittee presented its report to the convocation of 1900 and the report was continued over for action to the following convocation. The report was published in fun in the Proceedings of 1900. The sections of this report bearing on the question of physical qualification were as follows: hSection 149. If a cOlnmittee of investigation finds a candidate totally disqualified owing to non-residence, physical disqualification, or other sufficient cause, the fact shall be reported by the committee, entered of record and the fee returned, and no further action shall be taken in the case. "Section 150. It is incompetent for any Chapter in this jurisdiction to confer either of the degrees of Royal Arch Masonry upon any person whose physical defects are stIch as to prevent him from conforming to the requirements of the several degrees."

Thecot1troversy upon this subject at the convocation of 1900 was the last tllajor engagenlent over a question of law fought upon the floor of the Grand Chapter.. It was a spirited contest. 130th sides 111tlstered their forces" and their argU1l1ents. The group \\rhich ll1ight he described as the 11asonic Fundamentalists, stood for the old tradition and what they held to be a Landnlark of the Fraternity. Those holding opposite views contended for what they conceived to be the nlost workable

and fair rule applicable to 1110dern conditions in Speculative Freenlasonry, and they won the day. Out of the s1110ke and Cla1110r of battle enlerged the follo\ving section, which \vas adopted, and which is still the law in this Grand Junsdictioll, although slightly altered in phraseology:* ~'It is inCOl11petent for any Chapter in this jurisdiction to confer either of the degrees of Royal Arch lv[asonry upon any person whose physical defects are such as to prevent him from receiving and inlparting the ceremonies of the several degrees; Provided, that nothing herein contained shall be 'so construed as to render any.,*one ineligible to the privileges of Capitular Masonry, who can, by the aid of artificial appliances, conform to the necessary cerenlonies."! I~everting to the administration of Dr. Briggs; the reader will recall that the Grand Chapter had ordered the state divided into districts, each district to be under the supervision of one of the Grand Chapter line officers. In his annual address Dr. Briggs reported that the plan had been rendered inoperative, o\ving to the fact that 110 expense appropriation had been Blade 1))1" the (jrandChapter and renlarked that

the anlount of 1l10ney required to defray the expenses of such visits would go far toward paying the salary of a Grand Lecturer whose visits would be nlore helpful to the Chapters.

Nat 1'11any years later the Grand Lecturer was placed on a salary by the Grand Chapter, l1.Qdoubt, as suggestion..

Review of Changes 'fhe convocation of 1896 vvas held in Springfield and l11arked the senli-centennial of the (~rand Chapter.. Fifty years had passed since its organization. It had gro,\vn and prospered. Its constitution and laws had been fully developed and (except for the physical qualification problenl) irnportunt changes since the senli-centennial have been c0111paratively few. \\r e \vill 路The prt;>sent section (12~) reads: "It is incompetent for any Chapter in this jurisdietion tf) confer an y of the degrees of I~()yal Arch lVlasonry upon any person '\vhose physical defects are such as to prevent hinl from receiving and imparting" the ceremonies of the several degrees.

review these rapidly and bring to a close what has proven to be a longer task than the writer anticipated \vhen he accepted the invitation to prepare this chapter 011 the Jurisprudence of the Grand Chapter. By virtue of a resolution adopted at the convocation of 1897, the convocations of the Grand Chapter, which had been one-day affairs for SOIne years, were lengthened to two days and have since been of that duration. 1"'he first of these two-day C0l1;vocations was that of 1898, presided over by Dr. \\lillian1 F. Kuhn, Grand High Priest. 11ention n1t1st be made of three decisions announced in his annual address. He decided that suspension in the Blue Lodge, for whatever cause, resulted in suspension fron1 Chapter Il1enlbership, without action on the part of the Chapter, and that all necessary was for the Secretary to enter the COlnpaniol1 as suspended with a statenlent of the facts. Conversely, he decided that reinstaten1ent by the Blue Lodge (\vhere there had been no Chapter action) would work a reinstatenlent in the Chapter, and that all necessary "vas for the Secretary to enter the Con1panion as reinstated. In other words, the operation'\vas practically anto111atic.. 'I'his has ren1ained the law of OUf Grand Chapter. At the last convocation (1931), however, an anlendnlent~o the by-la\vs was pIG~~,iri路adopted~~ reqt1ir~"'''~'ppropriate entry on the minutes of a stated convocation of the subordinate Chapter and the ternlination of Chapter n1en'lbership will be reckoned fronl the date of such entry.. Another decision involved a situation ",rhere a subordinate Chapter had a by-Ia\v entitling 111en1bers of twenty-five years standing to a life-nlen1bership and exenlption frol11 dues. The Chapter, with the evident intention of placing its life-Illetubers back on the roll of dues-payers, inquired of the Grand High Priest whether it could repeal the by-law and then collect dues fr01l1 those \vho had been life-nlel11bers. Dr. I(uhn held that the by-la\v could be repealed but that the repeal would not affect those \vha had reached the life-rnenlbership class.* In a third decision Dr. Kuhn held that in a Chapter election a Illotion to elect a designated Con1panion to a certain office 路See Proc_ 19Q3, pp. 14, 15.47, 48 when this decision is ()verrule~)

by acclanlatiol1 by having the entire vote of the Chapter cast for hinl by one designated for that purpose s110ttld not be entertained by the High Priest, and pointed out that such a nl0tion was an attenlpt to evade the law requiring a ballot, and that it also practically infringed the rule against nonlinations. An inlportant anlenclnlent to the by-Ia\vs was made when, at the suggestion of Dr. Kuhn, the Grand Chapter 11lade all the Grand Chapter officers elective, except the Grand Lecturer, Grand Chaplain and Grand Sentinel. The revision comnlittee appointed at the convocation of 1899 consisted of .A.rthur l\{. Hough,Charles S. Glaspell, .l'\l1an l\lcDovvell, David 1\1. \\Tilson and Seynlour Hoyt. As has been previously stated in this Chapter, the report of this conl111ittee \vas printed in the IJroceedings of 1900 and \vas acted upon at the convocation of 1901. The next revision thereafter was the \vork of a C0111111ittee cOlnposecl of Dr. \\Tillianl }:t. Kuhn, }\rthur 11. l-Iough and Fred \\T. Segur, whose report '\\i~as adopted at the convocation of

1911. The Last Revision The revision under \vhich the Grand Chapter is nO\\7 \vorking was the result of the labors of a conlIllittee \Jvhich reported at the convocation of 1923. This C0t11t1.1ittee V\ras conlposed of the follo\ving distinguished I~"'reenlasolls, all of whonl are well kno\vn to the present generation of Craftsll1en, nanlely, Bert S. Lee, Tho111aS H. I~eynolds and l~ay v. Denslow. The provisions of these tllree revisions ( 1901, 1911 and 1923) do not differ greatly. I'he chief difIerences will be stated hut briefly. The constitution of 1901 and that of 1911 and that of 1923 are practically the saUle. The following changes are noted: 1. 'rhe constitution of 1923 added the office of (~rand Organist to the list of C;rand Chapter officers. 2. The 111ethod of voting as prescribed by the constitutions of 1901 and 1911 \vas: In all questions in the C;rand Chapter, each Inember has one vote and no n10re; Provided, that in the election of officers if a High

Priest, King or Scribe is not present in person or by proxy, his vote may be cast by the senior officer present, or if no actual officer is present, by the proxies of the senior officer present.

The 111ethod of voting prescribed by the present constitution is: On all questions in the Grand Chapter each nletnber shall have one vote and no lnore.

Changes Noted

ilt

Last Revision

The. by-la\vs of the three revisions are like\vise very sinlilar. Son1e of the 1110re inlportant changes are: 1. The revision of 1901 fixed the tinle for the annual convocation of the Grand Chapter as the fourth \Vednesday of April; that of 1911 and the present, name the fourth Tuesday. All fix the City of Saint Louis as the place, with provision for change of place by action of the Grand Chapter. 2. The fiscal year 0 f the Grand Chapter ended on the fi rst day of 11arch under the provisions of the 1901 and 1911 by-laws, while the thirty-first day of DeccInber is the date under the present code. 3. T'he present by-laws contain a provision Inaking possible a change of Grand Representatives whenever the appointee has failed to attend Grand Chapter for t\VO successive years. 1""'hi5 provision "vas not in the by-laws of 1901 or 1911. 4. The revision of 1901 authorized the Grand 'High Priest to fill by appointlnent a vacancy in the office of High Priest, King or Scribe of a subordinate Chapter, until the next annual election. The present law is that the appointIllcnt is tenlporary and holds until the vacancy is filled by special election. 5. llnder the by-laws of 1901 the Cirand Lecturer was still all a per <lienl of five dollars and expenses, all payable by the Chapter upon \\'hose invitation he perfornled his duties. In the revision of 1911 appears provision for salary payable by the Granc1 Chap-ter, and in the revision of 1923 is the additional provision for traveling expenses~ 6. 1'he revision of 1901 contained this by-law: "No (]lapter in this jurisdiction shan exalt a candidate to the 110st Sublin1c degree of Royal Arch 1fason until he shall have selected and recorded his ~.n l\o such provision is found in either of the subsequent revisions. 7. Under the by-laws of 1901 it was pertnissible for Chapter officers to resign, except the High Priest, King and Scribe. cepti?ll is not luade. in eit~ler of the subsequent revisions. No provisi~;'1:i""'f9~1?isi(ling' a (Ul'!'lit t9 an installed officer is to be found. in the pre;e"nr"~'hy-laws. The by-laws of 1901 and 1911 contained identical prohibiting <Btuits to installed officers. 8. The revision of 1923 Inade a sweeping change with reference

704

to balloting for the degrees. This change is well-known to the membership and need not be detailed here. 9. The present law as to jurisdiction is tuuch luore liberal than it ever ,vas before. At present a candidate tnay petition any Chapter in this state for the degrees, unless he resides in a locality where there is an established Chapter. Previously, he was under the jurisdiction of the Chapter nearest his place of residence, except in cases where j ttrisdiction was concurrent. 10. The amounts paid by the Grand Chapter for n1ileage and per diem are respectively five cents and five dollars under the provisions of the 1923 revision. Both the 1901 and the 1911 revision fix. these amounts as three cents and three dollars respectively.

11. The revision of 1901, in that article of the by-laws devoted to miscellaneous matters, had a section which described the \~e~of the various officers to be used in conferring the Royal Arch d~'gree and another section prescribing jewels for the various Chapter officers. T'hese sections do not appe~i1 the subsequent or in the current revision.

CONCLUSION. The C01111l1ittee on Jurisprudence of the Grand Chapter of Missouri canle into existence first by virtue of the provisions of the revision of 1880. Excepting the author of this Chapter, seventeen C01l1panions have served the Grand Chapter as chairnlen of that conlnli ttee. Anlong those are listed S0I11e of the 1110st distinguished of IVlissouri Freenlasons. Their work as chairmen of this iluportant c01111nittee is written in the Proceedings of the annual convocations fronl 1881 to 1924. It is good work, true \vork, square work. The writer reverently inscribes their nanles upon the roll of chairtnen of the COlnnlittee" with which he concludes this Chapter: Noah M.Givan, .1881, 1882, 1883. James E. Cadle, 1884. Alexander 11:.

James W. S. Mitchell was born February 16, Kentucky. Although he was self-educated, he was K'entncky's Representative to Congress for several ternlS, and Senator to the State Legislature for olle tern1. He practiced medieine the greater part of his life, and in 18:~5 moved to Illinois expecting to farm a piece of Govern.. nlent land. Two years later he llloved to Clark County, Missouri. In 1840 he waselectec1 to the Missouri Legislature, later moving to :B'ayette. He began the puhlication of "The Masonic Signet and Mirror", hut his offi<~e and valuable library were destroyed by fire. He moved to New York City, but was forced to return to the South, due to the opening of the Civil War and his Southern synlpathies. He died in Georgia, 'N ovenlber 4, 1873, leaving a ''life and two daughters. Conlpallioll l\-1itchell was made a IVlason in Kentucky in 1820.

In 1848 he was Grand High Priest, during which year he dimitted from Chapter NO.8. In 1847 he served as Grand Comlnander of the Grand Com'~and~ry of Missouri; he was also prominent in Scottish Rite work. Because of his short residence in Missouri, but Httlp. information can be found concerning his business and professional life, even information as to his Masonic affiliations !s scarce. He was a menlber of a committee appointed in 1847 to present the work and lectures of the degrees, and was elected 'Grand High Priest, although not present and was installed at his residence by the Deputy Grand I-ligh Priest. He appears to have rendered little service to the Grand Chapter.
