and glorious institu'i.in. Allow me to congratulate you upon the happy
auspiees under which you ha?e assembled, and the blessings that hare been
. . . i -\ i: , p. •-•oiuiily. politically, and Jlasonically, during tho
. : !i.!V been .-pared. and health and liappine.-S
have been bountifully meeted out to us, our families and friends. At no
r*riol in the history of "our country have we enjoyed such unexampled prosperity
as IOW—being at peace with all the world—free from that dreadful
scourge whieh swept over our land, for the past few years, as with a besom
of destruction—every branch and department of business prospering—and
our common country advancing in all the elements of national greatness
and prosperity, at a rate unprecedented in the annals of the world. Our
i!ly, is but emblematical of our career Masonically. In
• "' .- f i.n :.n r«. I land, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from
I i i .• ! aad regions of tho North to the sunny South, is heard the tonnd
at the o*t>r/, in UM hands of the true and trusty workmen, in whose fidelity
Our noble institution is fulfilling her heaven-born mission—in feeding tho
hungry and clothing the naked—in ministering to the sick and the afflicted
—!• condoling with the widow and the orphan in their bereavement, and
bestowing that aid and assistance which their necessities may require—in
elevating the morals and refining the minds of its votnries. by making them
better eitiiens, kinder husbands, more affictionate fathers, truer friends, and
•Masderated christians. We have now arrived at a period in our histo.y,
aad have so f»r advanced in popularity and respectability, that the tongue
of slander and reproach has ceased to pour out its bitter venom upon our in-
Faasai «»» aa oar devoted heads, have passed away, and in their stead all is
qa*t and peace. And alt'.ieejgh the mad and reckless tornado which,
twenty-five ;«m since, burst with such unabattd fury on our peaceful in-

tution, is now numbered among the thing* that were, yet Free M-sonny
survive!—"the attentive tar receive* the sound from the instructive
e, and mysteries of Free Masonry are safely lodged in the repository cf
hful breasts." Let these considerations fill our hearts with gratitude
thanksgiving towards the Grand Artif<strong>ice</strong>r of the Universe. Let us rei
ur heartfelt acknowledgements for the manifold blessings and favors,
i ,d will in building up the vale ] laces. No sound of the "axe, hammer,
or any tool of iron,'' is heard upon our Masonic edif<strong>ice</strong>; but, on the contrary,
I am happy to know its lomdsUiM Is laid deep in the hearts of the brethren.
While some of our sister Grand Lodges have had the misfortune to have discord
and cottfusion break out among them, and distract their councils, and
break up their harmony, I am happy to say, that within our jurisdiction no
contention exists, ''except it be that noble contention, or rather emulation,
of who can best work, or best agree."
.My brethren, it is a just cause of congratulation, to compare our prccnt
prosperous and fl< ui ishing condition with what it was thirteen years ago.

six Lodges, with les- than six hundred members; but from that small beginning
we have in Teased in numbers, and grown in strength, until we now
1 among the most powerful, populous and respected Grand Lodges in the
ion. I repeat it, it is a just aWM n, and should, as I no
bt it will, stimulate you to act worthy of the high vocation wherewith
are called—maintain in its full splendor the bright fame and high rcp-
'on your immediate predecessors have transmitted to you—let no selfish
I, or illiberal policy, disturb your deliberations, but rather let that genmagnaniinity,
mutual coneesskn, and enlightened judgment, which
>" H ' I iv eli.iiacterized the pr*ceedings of our Grand Lodge, by your
in pie in all your actings and doings, and then you will realise the high
of the various Lodges you have the honor to represent, and
sullied the high reputation which our Grand Ledge so happily
is time.
BOa ; it uttonal head of this Grand body, I have,during the Masonic
I. granted dispensations for new Lodges, as follows, to-wit:
. To Br.. Joseph Weaver as Master; Bro. Benjamin Bryant as Senior
BfOaa; Bio. E. 1\ Wade as Junior Warden, and the requisite additional
and open a Lodge at Lima, Adams county, by
II. To Bro. M. T. Gerard as Master; Bra. James E Parker as Senior
Warden; Bro. A. N. tioodenough as Junior Warden, and tbe requisite addi-

t*a*ral ral*. it it not less true in its application to the acquisition of Ma-
»«> k» .wl«§jr«. An acquaintance with the ritutl is mflWWfJ to a proper
of the teehaieelitiee of the ritnnl is essential, but not sufficient to a right
of iu tutchlafs—of the great principles which underlie its foundation—of
ttt kirtoti. laws, tad usages. This knowledge is to be acquired, not alone by
•'• .- ••• i i i .i .1111:ir io the i-o.A— V.ut by careful
•tady of the priaeiplf s which tho ceremonies develop—the important moral
truths which they allegorically teach—the end to which they lead.
As onifonnity is Tory desirable in all our rules and regulations, I would
rMMmmcnd tbat, as a means of arriving at M desirable a ji.tsition, you make
It the duty of your (Irani Master to keep a record of all his decisions, mado
Oraad Lndge. and if not, recommend alterations or amendments, which to
them th»'l seem fit and proper—and after the Grand Lodge shall have
ameaded them—if in thur judgment they need amendment—they shall
Weaaetdered rules fer the giinm—t lif the craft in future. This plan
will go far to produce uniC nn dacisJOSM—for while a Grand Master shall
hare a record of the decisions of his predecessors before bin, which have
been ratified by t*-e Grand Lodge, he will not make any decisions to conflict
therewith, so long as he Is governed thereby.
Msme our last annual Communication, our brethren la Minnesota territory
ba»e held a convention, and organized themselves into a Grand Lodge; and
are aow snprrintend'nt; their own Masonic affairs. Throe Lodges constitute
their whole number of subordinates; yet, with tbat small number to begin
with, they had precedent to govern them. Rhode Island Grand Lodge was
ortjualasd with but the same number of Lodges; and I have no doubt but
thai the interett* of our Order will be advanced in that quarter of the

Lodge, No. 121, passes out from our jurisdiction,

chartering Lodges, at the present session, you fill up the vacant numbers.
There is no reason why tbIs should not be done; but. on th-j contrary, many
why it should be.
It affords me much satisfaction to be able to inform you, that "Morning
Star Lo bp , No. .'10," which Lad surrendered her charter, has again come
forth and taken her place anvng the Lod-es under our juri.-dii.-ti: n. I bad
learned that the brethren at Canton were desirous of again going to work,
under their old charter. Accordingly, in July last, I insued a special dis-
'. AV. Pro. K-yno'ds, authorizing him, in my name, upon a
; < i. number of brethren petitioning therefor, to assemble the brethren
ut said place, restore them their charter, open their Lodge, preside at the
I |a ;i m of their oll'<strong>ice</strong>r.-, in-tal ti.e same, and set them to work in due and
ancient form—all of which was done on the 14th of September. Bro C. W.
Bneklnd is W. BC.J Bro. D. YV. Smith U B. W., and Bro. M. Z. Saylor is J.

Last fall I received a letter from Bro. Fuller, YV. M. of Belvidere LMlgc,
No. Ml, inclo-ing the amount of dues CM the year A. L>. I8£2j but asked
tluit his Lodge might be exonerated from the pajtucnt of dues for the year
preceding, a.- most of the time of that year, the Lodge was suspended from
work, for net.- of tin ir late Master, and not from any net of theirs. I informed
him that I had not the authority to release them from the payment
of dues, but I won Id call the attention of the (I rand Lodge to the sn'oji et.
And I would recommend that the dues of said Lodge be remitted for the
year 18J1, for the reason that they were not at work said year, and which
was not on account of any fault of theirs.
During the past summer, the (irand Secretary, under my direction, wrote
to all the principal printers in the State, and solicited bids from them for
printing the proceedings of the present session of the (irnnd bodge. The

Among other aetlftl or questions, Ijvill refer to the following:

i held when appealed to upon this point. For certainly this Grand
would not require Lodges U. D. to pay dues for those Masons not
bcrs. As, in political economy, we hold that taxation and rcprcs Bttil B
"d co hand in hand, so Ma-onieally, we can see no good rca.-on why the
principle should not apply with equal force.
WKKS A*n RESPONSIBILITIES or GRAXD MASTERS.—Among the many
tions which have occupied the thoughts and claimed the attention of
of the Grand Lodges of the several States, since the novel and unusual
dings of the called California Grand Lodge, in reference to their Grand
Master. Uynm, none have excited more interest or called forth more discus-
than this question of the powers and responsibilities of Grand Masters;
nd what astonishes us not a little, is the fact, that hardly two agree in all
their conclusions. Some cluira—as the (3rand Lodge of North Carolina for
instance—that the " Grand Master is absolutely supreme, being amenable to
no man, or any set of men;" while others claim—as the Grand Lodge of
Indiana—that " the Grand Master has not, nor can he have, any but dele­
gated authority." As a natural and legitimate deduction from the lorego-
ing assumption.--, they contend, in the first instance, that the Grand Master is
above and beyond discipline while inoff.ee; while, in the hitter instance,
they hold that he is subject to discipline, the same as any other member of
the fraternity, no matter how humble his position.
I am aware that the Committee on Foreign Correspondence, at our last
annual Communication, from the limited information before them at the
time, exprcesid their disapprobation of the conduct of Grand Master llyain,
and introduced a resolution declaring, "that the posit ion of Bro. Hynm,
Grand Master of California, is un-Masonic; and that no Grand Master has}
the power thus to confer the three symbolic degrees of Masonry "—which
resolution was adopted. Further than this, no action has been taken by the
Grand Lodge: and as the question has already excited so much attention,
and culled forth different expressions from different Grand Lodg. -. - b -ji
right and proj>er for you to define what you consider to be " the ancient cus­
toms " in the prcmi-es.
I imagine that many have fallen into an error on this subject, by starting
on a wrong hypothesis—by reasoning from false premises, their d. du. I |i • I
an i. ••«•*. rily wr-u-z. To com; 1
to a cornet conclusion in the premises, it is
necessary for us to understand fully the oriein as well as the nature of the
off<strong>ice</strong> of Grand Master. Let us examine this jxdnt.
We I; ild that the off<strong>ice</strong> of Grand Master was not crtattd in this country
bj the constitution of any Grand lodge, but that the off<strong>ice</strong> is at least coeval
institution itself; and that he does not derive his powers and prerogatives
from the Grand Constitution of his jurisdiction, but that they are a part of
« the ancient landmarks, usages, and customs of Masonry," which " it i.
not in the power of any men, or body of men, to make innovations in;"
O are e e ws o e cs an enuan., unc angea e.

It is true, and indeed it is no where denied, that different Grand Lodges
have usmoeed arw duties and responsibilities upon their respective Grand
; r ; l .. - an 1 not .•:"; eting their ancient inherent
|,,H, best which ara local in their effect, and temporary in their character
—which, beyond doubt, may be amended or repealed at the pleasure of the
newer eventing—and so far as these new duties arc concerned, he is but the
I had supposed tbat ail Grand Lodge Constitutions were themselves subordinate
to th« ancient laws of the craft. Such evidently was the understandl*f
of the Grand Lodge of England, as far back as the year 172.), when it
resolved that the rand Lodge had power to amend or alter any of its regulations,
if it " break net SS anon the ancient rulet of the fraternity." They
also declare, in 1741, That the Grand Lodge could not, by any nets REGULAtion,
take away any of the preroyalivet of the Grand Matter." Our ancient
brethren understood there was a power and authority above the Constitutions
of Grand Lodges, and consequently one over which Grand Lodges had no
esatrel. Whatever authority (irand Masters derive from this source, and
. . i .'. but inherited power, and as such, it
• - i . . .-r-:. 1 !.•!.- >, except through resolution.
It is a part of the landmarks of ancient draft Masonry, that every subordinate
Lodge should hare a Master, or hand, whoso duties and powers are as
nneient, end as much a part of craft Masonry, as his off<strong>ice</strong>. Now, while all
will admit you have the authority to imp »-e new duties and responsibilities
upon him, yet we opine no one will claim-for a moment that yon have the
power or right to alter or chango any of his ancient prerogatives, any
more than you wouid have to abolish his off<strong>ice</strong>. Indeed, the W. Master is
supreme in his Lodge—from his decision no appeal lies—and ho is not re-
• ponsible to his Lodge, while he remains in off<strong>ice</strong>. Shall it be said, that a
' •• : I • i HI:: tii.m the W. Master of a subordinate
Lodge! I opine that this Grand Lodge are not ready to so declare.

nunOM A BALLOT.—Much difference of opinion exists among the
vithin our jurisdiction, respecting the authority of a Lodge to re-
ider a ballot, when once it having been spread for a candidate to re-
e either of the degrees of Masonry. This difference of opinion had its
n among our brethren, from the fact that our Grand Lodge hu3 never
down any rule of action for the government of the Lodges under their
'diction, aBd by consulting different authorities, who hold to widely dif-
,i .ns on this point. Bro Mitchell, of the "Signet"—who has
ecognixed as good authority by many of our brethren—holding to the
m, that such a thing as reconsidering a ballot in a Lodge was unknown;
• h. r c minent Masons hold to the contrary opinion, that Lodges may
Y see proper reconsider a vote, provided the motion to reconsider is
e at the same communication in which tho ballot is taken. The latter
is evidently the most convenient and useful course of ]>roeeeding, and can
by no possibility work any harm, but may. many times, be of great benefit
in r

•pair the WTOOJC we have unwittingly done an innocent man. Is this just,
ooert orfair? And is it in accordance with tho principles of our tiine-
oaored iastitution ? I think not, or at least, I have not so learned them.
A practical illustration of /the gross injust<strong>ice</strong> which this rule works in it
nrrations, occurred in Greenfield Lodge, TJ. D., during the past year, i
•ndidate applied for tho degrees, his petition was received, and referred,
ssd the committee reported favorably; but when the ballot was spread a
lack ball appeared, and the candidate was declared rojected. The brother
rho east the black ball did it on information which, he afterwards learned,
rae incorrect, and was without truth or foundation. On learning this, the
father's ftosirs wae, what every honest man's should have been, to repair
he wrong he had done. He accordingly joined tho Lodgo in a request to
as, for permission to again act on the candidate's application, which I will-
agly complied wi;h; coupled, however, with tho order that each and every
aember of the Lodge should have duo and timely not<strong>ice</strong> of the time of
. ' • • • tho i ri ty, ncith -r do I ci ncur in the philosophy,
>f this rule; for, in the language of one of tho most eminent Masonic
rriters in the country, " it is predicated on the assumption that the candi-
late is a bad ui in—that he is destitute of a fair moral character; and, conse-
luently, unworthy to be admitted to the privileges and associations of the
[sxlge-room. But this is far from being a just and certain conclusion. It
is n him, the whole proceeding is shrouded in secrecy. Beyond the result
he can know nothng. This may be just, or it may be unjust. But experi­
ence leaves no room to doubt, that rejections frequently occur from consider­
ations beyond and independent of the question of character. They are
. : "ual dislike, or the supposed absence of the requisite
social qualities; and a variety of other causes having no necessary or proper
relation to the personal integrity or moral qualifications of the rejected."
His rejection, therefore, does not afford that clear and certain evidence of
general moral d.Lnquency, which should exclude him from tho amenities
and confidence of social life. Indeed, the rule in question assumes the very
eppaejte of this, and places him on probation, where he must remain until
the Lodge are satisfied that he is " worthy and well qualiGed." This may
h* aaxt week, next month, next year, or it may never be done. But it does
seem to me that the Lodge should always, and at any hour, hold itself in
•BBSMBVSSB, aad that full power and authority should be given it, to reverse
any of it* derisions, when satisfied of its error. The Lodge owes it to its
hoaor, that it should hold in its own hands the privilege and the right
to avail itself of the earliest practical moment to heal the wound it has
\

causelessly, though unintentionally, inflicted on the feelings, and perhaps the
character, of an upright and honorable man." Do not understand me as
advocating the doctrine of lowering, in any manner, the standa d of char­
acter heretofore required of candidates for initiation; but, on the cc ntrary,
I here take the liberty of enjoining upon my brethren, the sacred duty they
owe to tii ti , Ivi -. tl ir Lodge?, a:.d the fraternity throughout the country,
to guard well the door of Masonry against the approach of the unprincipled
and unworthy. Let no motive in uce you to swerve from a Etrict perform-
aa of your duty, at your ballot-boxes. But while I would so unqualifiedly
enjoin it upon bretren to dw their duty in rejecting the unworthy, 1 would
b I hem the peiwer and authority, and kindly enjoin it upon them, to right
tin SJM .Ives, when wrong, and " re'tidcr unto every man his just dues."
After much thought and deliberation upouthis question, I am firmly of the
opinion that the safest course for all concerned, and the one most just to all
parties, would be to leave the whole question of a second petition open an !
unrestricted. The Lodge would then beat liberty to decide < n • neb

Itti rMtal ssssjtim and Lodge* of the various Grand Lodges. But once let
a tWrai Grand Ledge he formed, and a very different scene would meet
yoar eyo. We do know that if sneh a body were to be formed, I ut part of
the Oread Lodges of tbe United States would unite in forming it: and tho
numeass weeds) he, that the General Grand Lodge would call off all comsjHaakeatsea
between their subordinate Lodges and those not recognising her
authority; end, as a uonecuaenns. the neighborly and brotherly feeling, uow
so happily eiisting between Blue and Grand Lodges, all over the country,
vuvld be broken «p. Dors any one d \cry call'ir.', he is at this time hardly
|isr••saintly located any where; and he was very anxious to receive the desauee,
bettering that it would add to his means of doing good in tbe field of
h» labors. One thing I am well satisfied of, and that is, that neither the
SSSSsI - | • r. M.r I . t .1 L. I _•• .anted in Ike matter with improper motives,
I wuoJd, th refore, re nn as stead them to your clemency. I file
BMfwwiih the Worshipful Master's letter, which humbly asks forgiveness at
yowtmade.
Dantg the past summer, a complaint was presented to me by the Senior
ry, and Past Master of a Lodge in the Southern part of this
S their Worshipful Master with gross un-Masonic conduct

and asked for my interference. I repaired to the Lodge, nnd after a earefuj
invcs-ticalion of all the evidence, I wus satisfied that it did not, wairant me
in interfering in the matter; and the brethren of the Lodge, I believe, became
so satisfied, and the whole matter, I hope, was honornb'y and fratern
ally disposed of. With this single exception. I am happy to inform yot.. I
have not been called on during the year to interpose my high prerogatives
:e t - • r eondu'-t of any Me tor.
A few weeks since, I was inform d, by good authority, that it had been
1 to my informant, that a Lodge under onr jurisdiction had been
guilty of improper work, and other irregulaiities. Whereupon, I appointed
M. W. Bro. Hobbs, W. Bro. Scott, and Bro. , of Bloomington Lodge.

of five hundred and fifty dollars was paid, by tho Grand Secretary, to Mr.

The committee appointed by order of the last Grand Lodge, on the case of
Dr. John O. Baker, neglected acting in the premieet until late in the summer
when, despairing of erer getting them to act, I appointed R. W. H.

I forthwith to proceed in the premises. Bro. Reynolds proceeded to Hem v.

I here take occasion to my, that Bro. Biker has obeyed all my directions

received a letter from him, which I take pleasure in referring to the Grand

year, which. I hope, will meet tbe approval of t.li* Grand Lodge, and tho
frattieity tserowghowt the State. One th ing I can say, that all my acta
I have been governed by what I conceive I to be for the best interests of our
Order. My time tad at'ention have freely been given whenever called for;

and my only regret is, that I have not been enabled to serve you more effectually.
I love the Order of Free Masonry, and I am wedded to the cause.
The more I learn of her pure and correct principles, the more I am attached
to her; and I can assure you, no matter when the summons of the Grand
Warden shall call for mo, be it soon, or even in old age, it will find me with
the harness on, laboring in behalf of our principles.
I cannot close this communication without returning you, one nnd all, nnd
through you, to the various members of your respective Lodges, my heartfelt
thanks and acknowledgments, for the many acts of courtesy, kindness, and
attention you have been pleased to show me during the year. Rest assured,
they were duly appreciated, and will be treasured up in my heart, and
carried with mo to my grave, with a grateful recollection. And whenever,
hereafter, I shall review life's heckered scenes, among tho most cherished
recollection, will be tho remembrance of having been your Grand Master,
and presiding over your deliberations.
In conclusion, may tho cho<strong>ice</strong>st of heaven's blessings rest on you, and all
regular Masons—may your labors hero during tho present session be pro.
ductive of peace and prosperity to our cause—and, when your labors arc
closed, may you return in safety to your own loved families and friends.

on Education, appointed by the Grand Royal Arch Chapter
of this State, submitted the following report, which was ac­
cepted, and the recommendations concurred in.
REPORT:
The Committee appointed by this Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, to confer
with a Committee from the Grand Chapter on the subject of Education, beg
leave to report, that they held each conference during the Session of the
Oread Chapter. The subject of Education is one which more deeply interests
the Masonic Fraternity, and which requires of this Grand L< dgo more de­
voted care and energetic action, than |>< rim;* any subject that will be brought
before tbis Grand Body at its present Communication. It is a theme which
needs no argument from your Committee to give it weight and consequence
before this Body; it is one that has employed the most able and benevolent
minds, in all portions of the Masonic World, for ages past, and the mere
pointing of the finger to the destitution, misery and crime which surrounds
us, will plead with far grea er power, and more touching eloquence, than
any thing your Committee could say in a report.
Your Committee have carefully examined and considered the plans adopted
by our sister Grand Lodges for forwarding this great cause, and whilst
awarding them all praise for their exertions, we are satisfied, that it is not
prudent at tbis time, for this Grand Lodge to undertake to build and foster
•• iastitutbin if learning under their peculiar care and sure, intendence; but,
| ,• : . • .- • 1 ".!, i • I. at 1.--.\|-i:-e, by u.-ing the common schools
of the country.
Tear Committee, therefore, beg leave to recommend, that the Lodges sub­
ordinate to this Grand Lodge, be requested to enter firmly, surely and
energetically in tbe good work, and not to cease their exertions, whilst there is
a single descendant of any destitute Mason, within their jurisdiction, who
has not had tbe benefit of a good common school education, and who is not
competent to fill, with credit to himself, any situation of honor or profit,
which his own merits, or the favor of his fellow citizens may confer upon
him.

It is my privilege to congratulate you upon the continued usefulness and
srity of our honored Institution, not only within the jurisdiction of
Grand Lodge, but in every part of the civilized world. The fires of
ft•r.s.'cution have burned down, opposition it may be said, has ceased, and
Freemasonry rejo<strong>ice</strong>s in the ' even tenor of its way.' Its star is in the ascendant,
and thousands, with glad hearts, turn their eyes to it as the star of
hope, amid the darkness and gloom of the misfortunes and adversities of life.
Wherever civilization and Christianity have gone, Freemasonry has accompanied
the train. It is fulfilling its destiny, liberalizing and humanizing
mankind. Grand Lodges have been organized in California and Oregon, and
now we receive the cordial greeting of our Brotherhood from these, the
youngest of all our sister Grand Lodges, wh>h are engaged in diffusing tho
sacred principles among the mass of human beings who are crowding the
shores of the Pacific. The Masonic arch now spans our country—its canopy
extends from Ocean to Ocean. But few discordant notes have broken in to
di-tiirb the harmony which otherwise universally prevails, and a fraternal
at d conciliatory "pirit has j>en aded the action of the different Grand Lodges.
« ith all these, I am happy to report that the Grand Lodge of Alabama

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. Masons, of th* State
of Illinois:
The Committee on Foreign Correspondence, would most respectfully report >
that since the last Grand Annual Communication of this M. W. Grand

Ono Hundred and Thirty-nine Lodges were represented. The annual adi
ess of Grand Master Downey has the "ringof the true metal," and breathes
> o right Masonic spirit. He says:
" During the year that has passed nothing has transpired calculated in
t e least degree to dampen the ardor of the friends of Masonry, or to
Y jaken our confideuce in her ability and fitness to accomplish all the benign
n ^sults at which she aims. There has been a steady increase in the number
01 both Lxiges and members ; and while I do not intend to reflect unjustly
u]>on the past, I think I can say in truth, that the standard of moral fitness
for admission to our rites has never been higher, or more lirmly maintained.
While this is the case wc have nothing to fear, but everything to bona, from
the rapid increase of the membership. Should it ever become the case that
members, without regard to fitness, shall be the aim of our Lodges, they
must inevitably forfeit the confidence of the community in which they
exist, and cease to exercise any salutary or beneficial influence."
It appear! that this Grand Lodge has sustained a great loss in the death

pays a most beautiful tribute to his memory. Tho Grand Master further
" Masonry, in Indiana, has arrived at a point in numbers, and a position

may it ever continue. And may tho tenets of our profession be transmitted

clusion :
" The Temple !—what a host of recollections it evokes—planned by Jehovah!—made
glorious by tho Shechinah—it was tbe type of our Redeemer's
body, that holy habitation of the Godhead, of bis Church and of Heaven !
How august was its dedication, with i

assurance as to the condition of our Order throughout the world, and to in-
:orm you that Masons, both individually and collectively, are every day
iccoming more sensible to the importance of their individual duties and responsibilities',
and to the great mission the Order has to fultil in the civilizaion
of the world, by confronting all those prejud<strong>ice</strong>s and passions, which

during the past year, pressed with work; having six ami eight candidates
before them at one time. I must repeat the caution, which I took occasion
to give, at our last annual meeting, touching the duty of investigating thor­
oughly the moral qualifications of candidates, and of exercising with fear­
less fidelity, the right which belongs to the humblest member of the frater­

sacre 1 boon is placed under our care and guardianship. We cannot exercise too
great caution and watehiulness in our deliberations, for the respcctablility and
] erp< tuity of our glorious Order depends in no small degree upon the careful
supervision of the Ciaft, by those to whom this high and sacred duty has
been confided. Our soli itude. amid the rapid augmentation of our numbers,
ought to spring, not merely from a sense of duty, but from a deep and lastit
g regard for the future permanency of the Order. Let us then guard with
•epless vigilance the entrance of our Mystic Temple, and see that none be
'.mitted who are unworthy of th. . a rod trusts: for in our pros-
rity it would oftentimes be well for us to remember that the strength of
asonry is not in the number, but in the virtue and wisdom of its members."

The proceedings of this Grand Lodge comes to us in a missive book of
258 pages. Its last Annual Communication mot at Jackson, on the 17th
day of January, 1853..M. W. James M. Harvey, (J. M. One Hundred and
Eleven Lodges represented. Most of the proceedings arc of a purely local
character. The Committee on Foreign Correepgndence submit a very interesting
Report. They say :
"In tho wisdom of tho Almighty Architect of tU- Ir

it con be severed by neither ocean, plain nor mountain, and to this we respond
with our welcome and congratulations. Whether a Grand Lodge be
held in the city of Portland, in tho State of Maine, or in the village of
Portland, in the Territory of Oregon, sho is equally n«ar and equally dear to
us—entitled alike to the friendship and consideration of the Grand Lodge of
tho State of Mississippi. We greet our brethren of Oregon."
Your Committee would infer that this Grand Lodge is enjoying a high
degree of prosperity.
NEW YORK.
Your Committee, in the spirit of Charity, are disposed to fling tho mantle
of silence over this unhappy Jurisdiction.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
Your Committee have received the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of this
Jurisdiction, from May 4th, 1852, to January 13th, 1853, all tending to show

good repute. If intemperance is allowed to creep into onr Lodges, and remain

inculcated by us, and which should distinguish us from the world. Jnst in
proportion to the elevated rank of an inconsistent Mason, so will be the mischief
he creates. A private Mason, whose life is intemperate and corrupt,
do. s an incalculable injury to the ciuse of Masonry; but an off<strong>ice</strong>r who does
not live above v<strong>ice</strong> and intemperance, is a curse to our Order, as he retards
its advancement, and tramples its holy precepts under bis feet. As moderni
1 eautify and adorn our Temple, the household of the Temple
should utter the vo<strong>ice</strong> of condemnation, against all excess, for the indulgence
of a depraved propensity, whether found in high or low places. The
lassoni which Masonry inculcates, and the principles which it establishes,
are lessons and principles confirmed by tho experience of centuries, and consecrated
by the sanction of inspired patrons, and of the most eminent sages
of ancient and modern times. We owe it, then, to the mighty and ilIu*trit>
our great and illustrious preceptors, that we guard them against
desecration, and keep them as things sacred—confided to our care, to bo preserved
with \irtuc, honor, and affection. Is it not a legacy, rich and valuhle,
and worthy to be handed down in all its original purity, to succeeding

lie retried that he had granted twelve dispensations fur the formatiou
al Lodges during the current Masonic year.
In reference to the death of P. O. M. Henry Clay, their committee say:
"That the decease of that illustrious man is at one* a calamity to the

tho interests of our beloved Institution. Let us renew our vows of adherence

MAINE.
Your committee have received the proceedings of this Grand Lodge for the
years 1SJ2-'61, nnd are happy to know that peace and prosperity are within
" all her borders." The Committee on Foreign Correspondence, for 1562,
say:
" A blasted work is committed to our hands. Though placed in the 'north
east corner' of our glorious Union, let us show ourselves worthy to share in
the glorious work of building the temple of freedom and national greatness,
whoso pillars of wisdom, strength and beauty, shall stand in tbe East, in
the West, in the North, nnd in the South—stand firmly and imperishably—
whatever tempests shall sweep around their base, or threaten the social fa
brie, and the national institntions and interests which we highly prize, and
which our Order is fitted to preserve."
In referenco to the appeal made by our Hebrew brethren to the Lodges of
this country, that we would dispenso with the New Testament, in the administration
of Masonic obligations, the Committee on Foreign Correspondence
for 1353, after arguing tbe question at considerable length, say:
" 2. It is of course settled that we cannot grant the request of our Hebrew
brothers, to banish tho New Testament from the altar of Masonry.
Wc might willingly do all that charity would dictate, but it docs not demand
that wo banish tho light of the world. We cannot do this, unless wo can
roll back the morning sun to accommodate Him who prefers the morning
star or the dim twilight for bis daily guide. We cannot, with sacriligous
hands, thus put out the light on our altars, to accommodato visions still dim
with darkness of past ages that have rejected the full-orbed sun. It would
be like tho attempt to banish from the world the improvements of modern
art—the achievement, of modern science—to annihilate steam—to abolish
the printing press, and stay the lightning's rapid course. No. Our work
is in another direction. It is to let the light shine—to aid men from darkto
light—to diffuse the light more and more—to reflect it in a radiant life—
the outshining of n good conscience—the pure nffections of a purified heart
—the noble achievements of a sanctified will—and an earnest life devoted
to the welfare of man and the glory of God."
NORTH CAROLINA.
Tho Grand Lodge of Nor»h Carolina met in Masonic Hall, December 6,
1852, and was opened in ample form by the M. W. Alonzo T. Jenkins,
Grand Master. Fifty-seven Lodges represented.
The Grand Master delivered an excellent address, from which we make
tho following extract;
" I cannot avoid recurring in connection with this subject, to GIB nnnossitj
which exists of selecting ofluws, that are temperate, zealous, capable, and of

nic science and education ; every year brings us fresh proofs that Ma-
' is fulfilling a Divine Mission by her Samaritan cjforts in the cause
mrvolencc and Charity, as well as in the diffusion of genera! knowledge;
believe the following extracts from Grand Master Douglass'8 address,
II not prove unacceptable to this Grand Lodge, he says—'the sphere of
IMstW is as broad as humanity itself, and where the true interests of
11 .-.re to be found, there should the Mason be seen in his round of duties,
in no other manner can those interests be better supported than by proving
the cause of education. In England, Germany, Denmark and
ed.n, under the ausp<strong>ice</strong>s of Masonry, schools have been established,
list hue furnished the lights of education and knowledge to thousands
C poor but worthy children, who else might have suffered in indigence, ign«rcc
and want. One of the schools ulone in Germany, in the space of five
jears, educated eleven hundred children in tho elements of knowledge, and
tue principles of morality and virtue. In other countries, and especially
in England, much has been done; and I have the pleasure to say that
many, and I believe most of our Grand Lodges in these United States have
taken decisive measures in regard to education ; and I am proud to add,
that Florida is not entirely behind the age in this matter, she has taken
steps, the tendency of which is to cause all the children of deceased Master
Masons to be educated at the expense of the Fraternity. Let Schools and
Literary Institutions be established and promoted, (and especially for the
education of the children of deceased worthy Master Man ns lift destitue by
their purents.) let good Masonic Libraries be annexed to them for the use
nlars, members of the fraternity, and all others who may be disposed
to read our books, under such reasonable rules and regulations as
«li mid govern such Libraries. Let the valuable Masonic periodical.- now
published in various parts of our country be well patronized, their journals
culated, and much will have been done |Q remove the evil which misre-
•scntatien and prejud<strong>ice</strong> have thrown over the eyes oi our m, ssjas, Mm h
this prejud<strong>ice</strong>, doubtless, re nils from a lack of information re. petting the
tori, philosophy and general principles of our Order ; and it must be conthat
a moet deplorable state of ignorance prevails, not only outside
i ng a very large portion of its own members. When
ignorance shall be dissipated by the light of Masonic science and liter-
I | world comes to learn that Masonry exists in every country
hi: habitable globe where civilization prevails, and even in some (though
Hps in an imperfect state) in savage life; when it is iurther shown that
must have had a common origin, and sprung from ane original source of
t, whence it flowed out in the earlier ages of the world, like a system of
•eiitnc circles diverging from a common centre, diffusing light and life
harmony and love, when all else would have been darkness, discord,
•ed and death, a different estimate will be placed by mankind upon our
islued and venerated Institution."
They give us the following passing not<strong>ice</strong>:
" The report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence, although brief,

and bis public- serv<strong>ice</strong>s, bo was one of the greatest of American statesmen—
so in his expanded philanthropy, in his humanity and benevolence, he was
the most distinguished of Masons. His character and his life a fjord tbe beet
exemplification of the objects and principles of our Order. And as our v«n
erable association derives from his groat virtues a reflected splendor, so it is
our duty to cherish and venerate them, and to perpetuate his memory to
suceecding generations of Masons, as long as our Order shall endure."
In reference to their Masonic College their committee say:
" Whatever may be tho fears and misappwJsswelans awakened up in the
minds of some, we are inclined to think that their opinion does not arise so
much from an indisposition on tho part of the craft to do their dnty, as from
the want of light. When wo look at tho magnitude of tbis work, our
hearts faint not. Doubtful minds have viewed it as a Herculean task; but
a continued, persevering effort must finally crown your laU-r with success
Do you not propose to execute what you have so long desired ? The craft
will sustain your action. Are cot the hearts of tbe fraternity with you in
this undertaking? Give them a continued opportunity to display thjir liberality.
Tuey will como up, year after year, until success shall have crowned
your undertaking. We believe that, by a concentrated and constant actieu,
this great enterprise can bo accomplished. The streams of benevolence, directed
by the sublime maxims of Masonry, we trust have not been dried np.
Shall we, as Masons, live and die, leaving no traces of our existence to our
successors ? Not so—we have a nucleus now presented around which we can
call up all our energies; and, every heart burning with celestial ardor, we
are determined to rear the monument for intellectual and moral culture. We
have decided unanimously, with promptitude and decision, to build up tbe
contemp'atcd institution. Tho Grand Lodge has herself fixed on the site—
she has asked the State to grant her a charter—the Legislature has granted
her request—and your trustees have purchased the site for the buildings,
and will proceed, at the earliest moment, to make contracts for the building,
necessary to carry out all your wishes in tho establishment of said colleges
They will, as far as possible, avoid the fearful responsibility of extending
contracts beyond the ability of the fraternity to discharge.
"Under a proper system of management, your most brilliant hopes can be
realized. Do not disappoint us—we have confidence. May the attributes of
truth and just<strong>ice</strong> harmouize and beautify all our works, by infusing the spirit
of Masonry into the hearts of her children."
Their proceedings nlso contain an interesting report from the Committee
on Foreign Correspondence.
VERMONT.
Met in Annual Communication in Burlington, on the second'.Wednesday
of January. 1853, M W. Philip C. Tucker, G. M., and through their
whole proceedings run the beautiful spirit of Masonic harmony. The 0 mmittee
on Foreign Correspondence submitted a very able Report, from which
we make the following extraet :
" We have heretoforo spoken plainly and freely in favor of tho spread of

i r
e have wen it ontlive the rise and fnll of nations, kingdom?, ard empires.
t has witnessed the magnif<strong>ice</strong>nce and grandeur of Balbcc and Palmyra, of

• f freedom, wisdom and the arts, fall from her high estate. It has beheld
a.man eloquence, heroism, and glory left only in her name; and the pyrai
lids and obelisks of Egypt crumbling into the desert sand, tolling the last
1 nell of her departed glory; and passing through ages when the su of the
i H..I Lin i-1 iiiv-1." BJM ob---uicd, and ignoran c an 1 superstition had assumed
t leir sway over the willing multitude, wc sje it again emerge, clothed in the
(lorious panoply ol Heaven's own mail, and stand before the wo.ld, like the
] ir» fall moon on some . toriny night—
Among the f cgitivc clouds that hurrying by,
Leave her alone, unshaken in the sky.
" We have found that it is the spirit and tendency of the institution to
elevate the intellect of man; to raise his moral feelings and enlarge his range
of scientific and useful knowledge, and that at the same time it is emphatically
and peculiarly an institution of social benevolence, forming its members
into one universal and harmonious brotherhood, governed by one set of
principles, animated by one feeling, and pronouncing one shibboleth in all
tongues, countries and ages."
We know of no (Irani Lodge whose proceedings give higher promise of
future excellence than our youthful sister of Iowa.
MISSOURI.
This Grand Lodge met in annual communication in St. Louis, on Monday,
June C, 1863, M. \V Benjamin W. Grovcr, Grand Master. A very large
number of Lodges were represented, the whole proceedings showing the prospt
rity of Masonry in Missouri. The Grand Master in his beautiful address
ssys:
"Once more, under the guidance and protection of our Supreme Grand
'» Mil. ». .II. ].. in.::' i ; i a--:u' I,- a, t'.,e representatives of the subordin
It Ladfl of the State, to consult together upon the interest and welfare
' our beloved Order; to renew our annual greetings and fraternal intcrand
to brighten and strengthen the links of that mystic chain of
otherhood, by which we are bound one to the other. It is a source of un-
|Md SjBBgratulation, that throughout our borders an imu-ual decree ,,f
'• ' li.\ an I l.d pr -] I :l V h.l- d'-l iliol.-l.i 1 . Ii . . .\ . . ' '. , :
ring the Masonic year now about to close. No other institution of human
gia an ]>oiiit back with such just feelings of pride, to itt hitloru, through
> changes and revolutions of centuries, as embodying the same fundamenasinsiplss
of morality—the same unchanging ritual and unaltered tenets,
gts and convulsions of the world—while all other institutions, socio/, moral,
and political, that started with ours in the race of associate existence, have
one after another sank and disappeared beneath the wave and the ttorm—
while, in the very domet in which they had their origin, the serpent hisses,

is nevertheless a document of great interest; and wo congratulate our Illinois
brethren on the prosperous and happy state of Masonry throughout their
dominions."
And conclude their report by saying:
" To our sister Grand Ix*lges, Vermont sends assurances of her continued
fidelity and fraternal Brotherhood—and taking leave of them for another
year—whether we meet again, we know not; t/ we do, ma y it be under the
protection of the Great I AM, to find peace on earth, good will to men, and
our Mystic ties still tuibroken."
The Grand Lodge of Vermont aro also procuring a Masonic Library.
IOWA.
From our sister Grand Lodge of Iowa, wo have cheerful tidings. It met
in its tenth annual communication at Muscatine, June 7, 1S53, T. S. Parven^
Grand Master. In his opening address he says:
In assembling together on the occasion of our tenth grand annual communication,
to consult upon the best measures to adopt for the future prosperity
of the Grand Lodge and its subordinate Lodges, it wisely becomes Tel
as responsible agents to whom has been entrusted a great work, humbly to
express our gratitude to the Divine Architect, who directs and controls our
labors for the past blessings that have crowned our efforts to erect and ad m
a moral temrde in our beautiful and rapidly growing State, eminently auxiliary
as it is, and ever should be, in forming and sustaining a correct moral
tendency in all the tide of our affairs. A M.i-on will readily acknowledge
that
' There's a Divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough hew them as we will.'
Then let us invoke at this time If is guiding counsel to our assistance, that
our present efforts may be crowned with the like soccear."
The committee appointed nt a previous communication to report upon the
subject of a Masonic University, inado their rejwrt, in which they say:
"The time has come when the institution of Masonry, like all other benevolent
schemes for the happiness and glory of the human race, must raise
public monuments at which its members mny proudly point as illustrations
of its practical utility, and as arguments for its perpetuity. The forms of
Masonry alono will not maintain a vigorous existence; neither can it be
claimed, that the social condition of the human rnce, as it respects our relations
to each other in any of the pursuits of life, prevent the same necessity
for its maintenance in the world now, as it once did. Its principles are
the most beautiful which can find a resting place in the human breast; its
theory is pure, and leads tho mind heavenward. Yet, without some results
which will meet the wants of the present age, it will prove like tho beautiful
and enchanted mirago of the desert which lures the pilgrim only to its sultry
bosom."
At the installatidn of Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs, Bro. J. F. Ssnford, Grand Orat or
delivered a most beautiful address, from which we extract the following:
"Brethren, tho charge is in our hands; we have traced it from its origin;

in an association like ours, must and ought to be very groat, and powerfully
iffect its destiny. Wise and prudent counsels alone will lead to good results
—all others will be destructive in their tendencies."
In reference to the granting of dispensations to take the degrees, tho
" I doem it my duty to call the earnest attention of tho Grand Lodge to
in opinion, I fear too general, and which is sometimes carried out in prac<strong>ice</strong>.
It seems to me that tho regulation requiring the lap^e of one month
o intervene before action is had upon petitions for initiation oradvancuent
ought to be rigidly enforced. I have had, though announcing here at
he last meeting of tho Grand Lodge, my fixed determination not to grant
( ispensations, unless in eases of most manifest emergency, very numerous
i pplications for such dispensations. Borne of them stated no reason at all
- -some o< them asked an abrogation the rule mtirely, 1 f re-pies ting an
open dispensation to be filled up at pleasure, and somo of them were based
npon what I conceived to bo a violation of Masonic propriety. As some of
these may agiin occur, I will state them. They said that the applicant had
resided long in their vicinity—was a gentlciran of good character, and had
lately determined to go California, or some other distant section of the country,
upon a business excursion, or for purposes of settlement, and before ho
went was desirous of receiving the degrees of Masonry. Xow. I am slow to
impute improper motives to men, but it struck mo very forcibly that such a
man would come awkwardly to a Lodgo seeking admission and declaring
that he was uninflueseed by motives of self-interest, but prompted by a di -
sire to assist in the great design of the institution, arising from a favorable
opinion, long conceived or maintained, of its excellence. I thought, probably,
that he was waiting until he saw how Masonry would be directly benefi.
ial to himself, in his contemplated journeyings, or, if indeed a higher moti
i% indassd net ion, long delayed, ho would be rather unskilled to be sent oat
si a missionary. Such applications, entertaining the views I did, I could not
Iwhich your committee most heartily concur. He concludes by
the umbrageous branches of our treo of liberty, planted in tho
of this western continent, and watered by the blood of our fathers,
counsels are written upon every leaf, we have enjoyed, in freedom
re, the pursuit of onr own happiness, according to the dictates of
clinations, as a right inalienable, and above the power of all, ex-
ws we make ourselves, and our responsibility to the ultimate tri­
be August Majesty who presides over the Universe. But this is
kindest sympathies, and affectionate regard, expressed as occasion
nt, in no unmeaning phraseology. Let it be oars so to rear in
beauty, magnif<strong>ice</strong>nce, and strength, the great pillars of intelli-
gvn e and virtue which support onr system, thai perpetuity and perfection

the interests of our beloved Institution. Let us renew our vows of adherence
to the sublime principles of Masonry, and strenuously emulate each
in honest efforts to see ' who shall best work and best agree.'"
M A I N E .
Your committee have received the proceedings of this Grand Lodge for
years 1852—'53, and are happy to know that peace and prosperity are within
" all her borders." The Committee on Foreign Correspondence, for 1852,
say:
" A blessed work is committed to our hands. Thoagh placed in the 'north
east corner' of our glorious Union, let us show ourselves worthy to share in
the glorious work of building tbe temple of freedom and national greatness,
whose pillars of wisdom, strength and beauty, shall stand in tbe East, in
the West, in the North, and in the South—stand firmly and imperishably—
whatever tempests shall sweep around their base* or threaten the social fa
brio, and the national institutions and interests which we highly prize, and
which our Order is fitted to preserve."
I n reference to the appeal made by our Ifebrew brethren to the Lodges of
this country, that we would dispense with the New Testament, in the ad­
ministration of Masonic obligations, the Committee on Foreign Correspon­
dence for 1853, after arguing the question at considerable length, say:
" 2. I t is of course settled that we cannot grant tbe request of our He­
brew brothers, to banish the Now Testament from the altar of Masonry.
W e might willingly do all that charity would dictate, but it does not demand
that we banish the light of the world. W e cannot do this, unless we can

The Grand Lodge of Nor*h Carolina met in Masonic Hall, December 6,
1852, and was opened in ample form by the M . W. Alonao T. Jenkins,
Grand Master. Fifty-seven Lodges represented.
The Grand Master delivered an excellent address, from which we make
the following extract;
»' I oannot avoid recurring in connection w i t h this subject, to tbe necessity
which exists of selecting off<strong>ice</strong>rs, that ore temperate, zealous, capable, and of

good repute. If intemperance is allowed to creep into oar Lodges, and remain
unnot<strong>ice</strong>d, Masonry will become peculiarly polluted by it. AH excess
is incompatible with our profession, and those principles which should be
inculcated by us, and which should distinguish us from the world. Just in
proportion to the elevated rank of an inconsistent Mason, so will be the mischief
he creates. A private Mason, whose life is intemperate and corrupt,
does an incalculable injury to the c iuse of Masonry; but an off<strong>ice</strong>r who does
not live above v<strong>ice</strong> and intemperance, hi a curse to our Order, as he retards
its advancement, and tramples its holy precepts under his feet. As moderation
should beautify and adorn our Temple, the household of the Temple

lessons which Masonry inculcates, and the principles which it establishes,
are lessons and principles confirmed by the experience of centuries, and conanted
by the sanction of inspired patrons, and of the most eminent sages

with virtue, honor, and affection. Is it not a legacy, rich and valuble,
and worthy to be handed down in all its original purity, to succeeding

for the preservation and fulfillment of that sacred trust, so soon te he committed
to your charge* Soon, very soon, the places which we now occupy,
will be imposed on you, in a few fleeting years our joys and afflictions will
be terminated. Allow me, then, with the affection of a brother, and with
deep solicitude for your welfare, to impress upon your minds the importance
en al. It is not only of the utmost importance to you as Masons,
be to yon as christians, an citizens, and as patriots, and is of vital

reported that he had granted twelve dispensations for the formation
Dl Lodges during the current Masonic year.
In reference to the death of P. Q. M. Henry Clay, their committee say:
"That the decease of tbat illustrious man is at once a calamity to the
nation, and to tho fraternity of Masons. As in his wisdom, his patriotism,

and his publio serv<strong>ice</strong>s, he was one of the greatest of American i
so ia his expanded philanthropy, in bis humanity and benevolence, ha was
the most distinguished of Masons. His character and his life afford tbe best
exemplification of the objects and principles of our Order. Aad ae our ven
erable association derives from his groat virtues a reflected splendor, so it is
our duty to cherish and venerate them, and to perpetuate his memory to
succeeding generations of Masons, as long as our Order shall endure."
In reference to their Masonic College their committee say:
" Whatever may be the fears and misapprehensions awakened op in the
minds ef some, we are inclined to think that their opinion does net arise to
much from an indisposition on tbe part of the craft to do their daty, as from
tbe want of light. When we look at tbe magnitude of this work, our
hearts faint not. Doubtful minds have viewed it at a Herculean task; bat
a continued, persevering effort must finally crown your labor with success
Do you not propose to execute what you have to long desired ? Tito craft
will sustain your action. Are not the hearts of tbe fraternity with you in
this undertaking? Give them a continued opportunity to display their lib
erality. They will come up, year after year, until success shall have crowned
your undertaking. We believe that, by a concentrated and constant action,
this great enterprise can be accomplished. Tbe streams of benevolence, directed
by the sublime maxims of Masonry, we trust have not been dried np.
Shall we, as Masons, live and die, leaving no traces of our existence to our
successors ? Not so—we have a nucleus now presented around which we can
call up all oar energies; and, every heart burning with celestial ardor, we
are determined to Tear the monument for intellectual and moral culture. We
have decided unanimously, with promptitude and decision, to build up the
contemplated institution. The Grand Lodge baa herself fixed on the site—
she has asked tbe State to grant her a charter—the Legislature has granted
her request—and your trustees have purchased tbe site for tho buildings,
and will proceed, at the earliest moment, to make contracts for the building,
necessary to carry out all your wishes in the establishment of said colleges
They will, as far as possible, avoid the fearful responsibility of extending
contracts beyond the ability of tho fraternity to discharge.
" Under a proper system of management, your most brilliant hopes can be
realized. Do not disappoint as—we have confidence. May the attributes of
truth and just<strong>ice</strong> harmonize and beautify all our works, by infusing the spirit
of Masonry into the hearts of her children."
Their proceedings also contain an interesting report from the Committee
on Foreign Correspondence.
VERMONT.
Met in Annual Communication in Burlington, on tbe second 'Wednesday
of January, 1853, M W. Philip C. Tucker, G. M., and through their
whole proceedings run the beautiful spirit of Masonic harmony. The Committee
on Foreign Correspondence submitted a very able Report, from which
we make the following extract;
" We have heretofore spoken plainly and freely in favor of the spread of

Masonic science and education; every year brings us fresh proofs that Malonry
is fulfilling a Divine Mission by bar Samaritan efforts in the tame
if Benevolent* and Charity, as well as In the diffusion of general knowledge;
ire believe the following extracts from Grand Master Douglass's address,
trill not prove unacceptable to this Grand Lodge, he says—' the sphere of
Masonry is as broad as humanity itself, and where the true interests of
nan are to be found, there should the Mason be seen in his round of duties,
.nd in no other manner can those interests be better supported than by pro­
moting too cause of education. I n England, Germany, Denmark and
ion, under the ausp<strong>ice</strong>s of Masonry, schools have been established,
i rhich eh have furnished the lights of education and knowledge to thousands
c f poo tor but worthy children, who else might hare suffered in indigence, igner-
t ace and i want. One of the schools alone in Germany, in the space of live
years, educated eleven hundred children in the elements of knowledge, and
the principles of morality and virtue. I n other countries, and especially
in England, muoh has been done; and I have the pleasure to say that
many, and I believe moat of our Grand Lodges in these United States have
taken decisive measures in regard to education; and I am proud to add,
that Florida is not entirely behind the age in this matter, she has taken
steps, the tendency of which is to cause all tho children of deceased Muster
Masons to be educated at the expense of th* Fraternity. Let Schools and
Literary Institutions be established and promoted, (and especially, for the
education of the children of deceased worthy Master Masons left destitne by
their parents.) let good Masonic Libraries be annexed to them for the use
of the scholars, members of the fraternity, and all others who may be dis­
posed to read our books, under such reasonable rules and regulation! as
mould govern such Libraries. Let the valuable Masonic periodicals now
published in various parts of our country bo well patronized, their journals
rfi aula tod, and much will have been done to remove the evil which misre-
pr» isentation and prejud<strong>ice</strong> have thrown over the eyes of our enemies. Much
J
this prejud<strong>ice</strong>, doubtless, results from a lack of information respecting the
Dry, philosophy and general principles of our Order; and it must be eon-
M i a most deplorable state of ignorance prevails, not only outside
iota, bat among a vary large portion of its own members. When
i shall be dissipated by the light of Masonic science and liter-
icn the world comes to learn that Masonry exists in every country
bitablo globe where civilization prevails, and even in some (though
an imperfect state) in savage life; when it is further shown that
have had a common origin, aad sprung from on* original source of
it, whence it flowed out in the earlier ages of the world, lib* a system of
centric circles diverging from a common centre, diffusing light and Ufa
harmony and love, when all else would have been darkness, discord,
at rod and death, a different estimate will be placed by mankind upon oar
valued aad venerated Institution."
They give us the following passing not<strong>ice</strong>:
" X W report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence, although brief,

is nevertheless a document of great interest; and we congratulate our Illinois
brethren on the prosperous and happy state of Masonry throughout their
dominions."
And conclude their report by saying;
" To oar sister Grand Lodges, Vermont aends assurances of her continued
fidelity and fraternal Brotherhood—and taking leave of them for another
year—whether we meet again, we know not; if we do, ma y it be undtr the
protection of the Great I AM, to find peace on earth, go od will to men, and
our Mystic ties still unbroken,"
The Grand Lodge of Vermont aro also procuring a Masonic Library*
IOWA.
From our sister Grand Lodge of Iowa, we have cheerful tidings. It met
in its tenth annual communication at Muscatine, Jane 7,1853, T. S. Pnrven
Grand Master. In his opening address he says:
" In assembling together on the occasion of oar tenth grand annual communication,
to consult upon the best measures to adopt for tbe future prosperity
of the Grand Lodge and its subordinate Lodges, it wisely becomes us
as responsible agents to whom has been entrusted a great work, humbly to
express our gratitude to the Divine Architect, who directs and controls our
labors for the past blessings that have crowned oar efforts to erect and adorn
a moral tern Klein our beautiful and rapidly growing State, eminently auxiliary
as it is, and ever should be, in forming and sustaining a correct moral
tendenoy in all the tide of our affairs. A Mason will readily acknowledge
that
'There's a Divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough hew them as we will.'
Then let us invoke at this time His guiding counsel to our assistance, that
our present efforts may be crowned with tbe like success."
The committee appointed at a previous communication to report upon the
subject of a Masonic University, made their report, in which they say:
" The time has come when the institution of Masonry, like all other benevolent
schemes for the happiness and glory of the human race, must raise
public monuments at which its members may proudly point as illustrations
of its practical utility, and as arguments for its perpetuity. The forms of
Masonry alone will not maintain a vigorous existence; neither can it be
olaimed, that the social condition of the human race, as it respects our relations
to each other in any of the pursuits of life, prevent the same necessity
for its maintenance in the world"now, as it once did. Its principles are
the most beautiful which can find a resting place in the human breast; its
theory is pure, and leads the mind heavenward. Vet, without some results
which will meet the wants of the present age, it will prove like the beautiful
and enchanted mirage of the desert which lores the pilgrim only to its anllry
bosom."
At the installatidn of Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs, Bro. J. F. Sanford, Grand Orat or
delivered a most beautiful address, from which we extract the following:
"Brethren, the charge hi in oar hands; we have traced it from its origin;

ave seen it outlive the rise and fall of nations, kingdoms, and empires,
• is witnessed the magnif<strong>ice</strong>nce and grandeur of Balbcc and Palmyra, of
and Nineveh, sunk into insignificance. It has seen Gi eece, the seat
[om, wisdom and the arts, fall from her high estate. It has beheld
eloquence, heroism, and glory left only in her name; and the pyrad
obelisks of Egypt crumbling into the desert sand, tolling the last
f nor departed glory; and passing through ages when the sn i of the
hemisphere was obscured, and ignoran se and superstition had assumed
ay over the willing multitude, wo sae it again emerge, clothed in the
panoply ot Heaven's own mail, and stand before the wo.ld, like the
«f all moon on some stormy night—
Among the fugitive clouds that harrying by.
Leave her alone, unshaken in the sky.
"We have found that it is the spirit and tendency of the institution to
el ovate the intellect of man; to raise his moral feelings and enlarge his range
of scientific and useful knowledge, and that at the same time it is emphatically
and peculiarly an institution of social benevolence, forming its members
into one universal and harmonious brotherhood, governed by one set of
principles, animated by one feeling, and pronouncing one shibboleth in all
tongues, countries and ages."
We know of no Grand Lodge whose proceedings give higher promise of
future excellence than our youthful sister of Iowa.
MISSOURI.
This Grand Lodge met in annual communication in St. Louis, on Monday,
June 6, 1853, M. W. Benjamin W. Grovcr, Grand Master. A very large
number of Lodges were represented, the whole proceedings showing the prospi
rity of Masonry in Missouri. Tho Grand Master in his beautiful address
more, under the guidance and protection of our Supreme Grand
r, we are permitted to assemble as the representatives of the suborditdges
of the State, to consult together upon tho interest and welfare
beloved Order; to renew our annual greetings and fraternal interto
brighten and strengthen tho links of that mystic chain of
I, by which we are bound one to the other. It is a source of unigratulation,
that throughout our borders an unusual degree of
I harmony and solid prosperity has distinguished our beloved Order
; th* Masonic year now about to close. Ho other institution of human
back with swob Jam feelings of pride, to

62
and the wild bird screams—while the halls that once w e n lighted with all
that taste and labor, and science could procure, which resounded with melo­
dy and were lighted up by beauty, are now buried by their own ruins
mocked by their own desolation; Free Masonry alone stands/or/A in its orig­
inal strength—still stands to-day—proudly stands—when it has stood for
near four thousand years, upon the same broad platform of ' Brotherly love,
relief and truth;' and there, i f w e a n true to it snd true to ourselves, it
will continue to stand till the end of time."
W i t h a commendable and praiseworthy pride he thus points to their Ma­
sonic College:
" When hoary with age, like Yale or Harvard, with its endowments en­
larged and increased, until it shall become the asylum for every destitute orphan
throughout our jurisdiction, like them it will live in th* memories of
the past, and the joyous anticipations of the future. Live until ignorance
and opposition shall die, and the mystic tie of our glorious Brotherhood shall
become universal. Live to enlarge oar social intercourse, lire to elevate
and enlighten tho minds of those who are to eome after as—to soften the
affections and warm their sympathies. Live to disrobe human passion of it*
blindness and madness. Live in youthful vigor and increasing strength.
Live to write the impress of letters and science upon tbe immortal minds of
our children, and our children's children, and thos paying book in time
what it has borrowed, shall contribute its fail proportion to the aggregate
happiness and prosperity of mankind."
The report of Bro. Shaver, the President of their College, shows a high
degree of prosperity. The report of the Committee on Foreign Correspon­
dence is an able and pointed document, assuming on the main, correct Ma­
sonic doctrine.
K E N T U C K Y .
This Grand Lcdgo met in annual communication at Masonic Hall, Lex­
ington, August 30,1852, M . W . C. G. Wintersmith presiding. One hundred
and fifty-three Lodges were represented.
The Grand Master made an admirable address, notifying th* Grand Lodge
that during the past year he had granted fifteen dispensations for new
Lodges. I n speaking of themselves, he says:
" I t is a matter of congratulation that our Order has been steadily advan­
cing in prosperity, not only within oar own, bat as far as I can learn, with­
in the jurisdiction of all the Grand Lodges of the United States. W i t h a*
it has been increasing in numbers—elevating its tone of moral and virtuous
feeling—strengthening its bond of union—and in every way progressing to­
ward the high destiny to which its lofty tenets tend to exalt it. I trust that
this convocation will be an era of still further advancement, and that thos*
of us who are here, will, upon its adjournment, return to oar homes better
Masons and better men, infusing a like spirit among all our brethren. Tho
influence of the annual assemblage of the Lodges, by their representatives;

elation like ours, must and ought to be very great, and powerfully,
iffect its destiny. Wise and prudent counsels alone will lead to good results
—all others will be destructive in their tendencies."
reference to the granting of dispensations to take the degrees, the
ad Master says:
I deem it my duty to call the earnest attention of the Grand Lodge to
ipinion, I fear too general, and which is sometimes carried nut in prao-
It seems to me that tho regulation requiring the lapse of one month
iterveno before action is had upon petitions for initiation or advanceit
ought to bo rigidly enforced. I have had, though announcing here at
last meeting of tho Grand Lodge, my fixed determination not to grant
lensatibns, unless in cases of most manifest emergency, very numerous
ligations for such dispensations. Some of them stated no reason at ail
—some of them asked an abrogation of the rale entirely, by requesting an
open dispensation to be filled up at pleasure, and some of thorn were based
upon what I conceived to bo a violation of Masonic propriety. As some of
these may again occur, I will state them. They said that the applicant had
resided long in their vicinity—was a gentleman of good character, and had
lately determined to go California, or some other distant section of the country,
upon a business excursion, or for purposes of settlement, and before he
went was desirous of receiving the degrees of Masonry. Wow, I am slow to
impute improper motives to men, but it struck me very forcibly that such a
man would come awkwardly to a Lodge seeking admission and declaring
that he was uninfluenced by motives of self-interest, but prompted by a desire
to assist in th* great design of the institution, arising from a favorable
opinion, long conceived or maintained, of its excellence. I thought, probably,
that ho was waiting until he saw how Masonry would be directly beneficial
to himself, in his contemplated journeyings, or, if indeed a higher moti
.-e induced nation, long delayed, be would be rather unskilled to be sent out
at a missionary. Such applications, entertaining tho views I did, I could not
g i U t . "
In all of -which your committee most heartily concur. He concludes by
« Under the umbrageous branches of our tree of liberty, planted in the
ft rlilo soil of this western continent, and watered by the blood of our fathers,
i wise counsels are written upon every leaf, we have enjoyed, in freedom
peace, the pursuit of oar own happiness, according to the dictates of
inclinations, as a right inalienable, and above th* power of all, exi
th* laws we make ourselves, and our responsibility to the ultimate triof
th* August Majesty who presides over tho Universe. But this is
i case with many of oar Order in other lands, where tyrant* haughtily
th* sceptre of dominion. Our brethren so situated deserve and should
receive our kindest sympathies, and affectionate regard, expressed as occasion
warrant, in no unmeaning phraseology. Let it be ours so to rear in
•city, beauty, magnif<strong>ice</strong>nce, and strength, the great pillars of intelligence
and virtu* which support our system, thai perpetuity and perfection

seriously considered and decided, in the Grand Lodge;
if any Brother thinks himself aggrieved by the decision,
may appeal to the Annual Grand Lodge next ensuing,
leave his appeal in writing with the Grand Master,
Deputy, or Grand Wardens.—(See Grand Feast, Article
Hither, also, all the off<strong>ice</strong>rs of particular Lodges shall
bring a list of such members as have been made, or even
admitted by them since the last Grand Lodge.—( Old Reg­
ulation.)
ART. 12. They shall also appoint a Treasurer, a Brother
of good worldly substance, who shall be a member of the
Grand Lodge by virtue of his off<strong>ice</strong>, and shall be always
present, and have a power to move to the Grand Lodge any
thing that concerns his off<strong>ice</strong>.—(JV. R., Art. 13.)
ART. 13. The Grand Master, or Deputy, have authority
always, to command the Treasurer and Secretary to attend
him, with their clerks and books, in order to see how matters
go on ; and to know what is expedient to be done upon any
emergency.—{0. R., See Grand Treasurer, Art. 3.)
ART. 14. Every Annual Grand Lodge has an inherent
power and authority to make new Regulations, to alter these
for the real benefit of this ancient fraternity; provided
always that the old landmarks be carefully preserved, and
that such new Regulations and alterations be proposed and
agreed to, at the third Quarterly Communication preceding
the Annual Grand Feast; and that they be offered to the
perusal of all the Brethren before dinner, in writing, even
of the youngest Entered Apprent<strong>ice</strong> ; the approbation and
consent of the majority of all the Brethren present, being
absolutely necessary to make the same binding and oblig­
atory ; which must therefore after dinner, and after the new
Grand Master is installed, be solemnly desired: as it was
desired and obtained for the old Regulations, when proposed

APPENDIX A. 139
>y the Grand Lodge to about 150 Brethren at Stationers
rlall, on St. John, the Baptist's day, 1721.—(0. R., Article-
On June 24, 1723, at the Feast, the Grand Lodge before
tinner made this resolution, That it is not in the power of
my man, or body of men, to make any alteration or innova-
ion in the body of Masonry, without the consent first
• btained of the Grand Lodge. And on November 25, 1723,
t-ie Grand Lodge, in ample form, resolved, That any Grand
Lodge duly met, has a power to amend or explain any of the
j rinted regulations in the book of Constitutions, while they
freak not in upon the ancient rules of the fraternity.
But that no alterations shall be made in this printed book
of Constitutions, without leave of the Grand Lodge.—(JV*.
R., Art. 39.)
Accordingly, all the alterations or new Regulations in this
edition, are only for amending or explaining the Old Regu­
lations for the good of Masonry, without breaking in upon
the ancient rules of the fraternity, still preserving the old
landmarks; and were made at several times, as occasion
offered, by the Grand Lodge ; who have an inherent power
of amending what may be thought inconvenient, and. ample
authority of making New Regulations for the good of Ma-
si nry, without the consent of all the Brethren at the Grand
A nnual Feast; which has not been disputed since the said
2 Lth of June, 1721: for the members of the Grand Lodge
i e truly the Representatives of all the fraternity, according
« Old Regulation X.
No motion for a new Regulation, or for the alteration
i an old one, shall be made till it is first handed up in
« citing to the chair: and after it lias been perused by the
j rand Master, at least about ten minutes, the thing may be
n.oved publicly; and it shall be audibly read by the Secre­
tary : and if he be seconded and thirded, it must be imme­
diately committed to the consideration of the whole assembly,

that their sense may be fully heard about it; after which the
Grand Master shall put the question pro and con.—(JV. R.,
Art. 39.)
ART. 15. All matters in the Grand Lodge are to be
determined by a majority of votes; each member having
one vote, and the Grand Master two votes; unless the
Lodges leave any particular thing to the determination of
the Grand Master for the sake of expedition.—( Old Reg.,
Article 12.)
The opinions or the votes of members are always to be
signified by each holding up one of his hands: which up­
lifted hands the Grand Wardens are to count; unless the
numbers of hands be so unequal as to render the counting
useless. Nor should any other kind of division ever be
admitted among Masons.—(New Reg., Art. 39.)
ART. 16. At the third stroke of the Grand Master's
Hammer, (always to be repeated by the Senior Grand War­
den,) there shall be a general silence, whenever the Grand
Master or Deputy shall think fit to rise from the Chair, and
call to Order.
In the Grand Lodge, every member shall keep his seat,
and not move about from place to place, during the Commu­
nication ; except the Grand Wardens, as having more imme-
idiately the care of the Lodge.
According to the order of the Grand Lodge, on April
21,1730, (as in the Lodge Book,) no Brother is to speak
but once to the same affair, unless to explain himself, or when
called by the Chair to speak.
Every one that speaks shall rise and keep standing,
addressing himself to the Chair: Nor shall any presume to
interrupt him, under the foresaid penalty ; unless the Grand
Master, finding him wandering from the point in hand,
shall see fit to reduce him to order ; for then the said Speaker

shall sit down: But after he has been set right, he may again
] roceed if he pleases,
If, in the Grand Lodge, any member is tw<strong>ice</strong> called to
( rder, at one Assembly, for transgressing these Rules, and
i i guilty of a third offence of the same nature, the Chair
s iall peremptorily command him to quit the Lodge-Room for
t lat night.
Whoever shall be so rude as to hiss at a Brother, or at
v hat another says, or has said, he shall be forthwith solemnly
e tcluded the Communication, and declared incapable of ever
being a Member of any Grand Lodge for the future, till
another time he publicly owns his fault, and his grace be
granted.—(New Reg. Art 40.)
ART. 17. There shall be a book kept by the Grand Mas­
ter or Deputy, or rather by some Brother appointed Secretary
of the Grand Lodge ; wherein shall be recorded all the
Lodges, with the usual times and places of their forming,
and the names of all the members of each Lodge ; also all
the affairs of the Grand Lodge, that are proper to be written.
—(Old Reg. Art. 13.)
ART. 18. Carnarvan, Grand Master, December, 4,1755.
[t was unanimously agreed, That no Brother, for the future,
hill smoke tobacco in the Grand Lodge, at the quarterly
unmunication, or Committee of Charity, till the Lodge
1
, ill be closed.
OF THE <strong>GRAND</strong> MASTER.
ART. 1. The present Grand Master shall nominate his
u -cessor for the year ensuing ; who, if unanimously approved
ly the Grand Lodge, and there present, shall be proclaimed,
faulted, and congratulated the new Grand Master, and
immediately installed by the last Grand Master, according to
Usage.—(0. R. Art. 33. See Grand Feast, Art. 7, 10.)

But if that nomination is not unanimuosly approved, the
new Grand Master shall be chosen immediately by ballot;
every Master and Warden writing his man's name, and the
last Grand Master writing his man's name, too; and the man
whose name the last Grand Master shall first take out, casu­
ally or by chance, shall be Grand Master of Masons for the
year ensuing; and, if present, he shall be proclaimed,
saluted, and congratulated, as above hinted, and forthwith
installed by the last Grand Master, according to usage.—
(0. R. Art. 34.)
ART. 2. The last Grand Master thus continued, or the
new Grand Master thus installed, shall next nominate and
appoint his Deputy Grand Master, either the last or a new
one, who shall be also proclaimed, saluted and congratulated
in due form.—(See Grand Feast, Art. 10.)
The new Grand Master shall also nominate his new Grand
Wardens; and if unanimously approved by the Grand Lodge
they shall be forthwith proclaimed, saluted, and congratulated
in due form.
But if not, they shall be chosen by ballot, in the same way
as the Grand Master was chosen, and as Wardens of private
Lodges are chosen when the members do not approve of their
Master's nomination.—( 0. R. Art. 35.)
" By the 36th New Regulation, a Deputy is said to have
been always needful when the Grand Master was nobly
born: and that in our time, the Grand Master elect has not
publicly signified beforehand the names of his intended
Deputy and Wardens, nor till he is first installed in Solo­
mon's Chair.
" For then first he calls them forth by name, and appoints
them to officiate instantly, as soon as they are installed.
" But if the Brother whom the present Grand Master shall
nominate for his successor, or whom the Grand Lodge shall
choose by ballot, as above, is by sickness, or other necessary

APPENDIX A. 143 !
occasion, absent, he cannot be proclaimed Grand Master,
unless the old Grand Master, or some of the Masters and
Wardens of Lodges, can vouch upon the honor of a Brother,
that the said person so nominated or chosen, will readily accept
of the off<strong>ice</strong>. In which case the old Grand Master shall act
as Proxy, and in his name shall nominate the Deputy and
Wardens; and in his name shall receive the usual honors,
homage, and Congratulations.—( 0. R. Art. 36.)
The Proxy must be either the last or a former Grand
Master; as the Duke of Richmond was for Lord Paisly,
page 200 ; or else a very reputable Brother ; as Lord South­
well was for the Earl of Slrathmore, page 215.
But the new Deputy and Grand Wardens are not allowed
Proxies when appointed.— (JV. R. Art. 36.)
ART. 3. Then the Grand Master shall allow any Brother,
a Fellow-Craft or Entered Prent<strong>ice</strong>, to speak, directing his
discourse to his worship in the Chair; or to make any motion
for the good of the Fraternity, which shall be either imme­
diately considered, or else referred to the consideration of the
Grand Lodge at their next Communication, stated or occa­
sional.
ART. 4. If the Grand Master die during his Mastership,
cr by sickness, or by being beyond sea, or any other way,
should be rendered incapable of discharging his off<strong>ice</strong>, the
Deputy, or in his absence the Senior Grand Warden, or in
is absence the Junior Grand Warden, or in his absence any
iree present Masters of Lodges, shall assemble the Grand
lodge immediately, in order to advise together upon that
inergency, and to send tw T
o of their number to invite the last
irand Master to resume his off<strong>ice</strong>, which now of course
•verts to him : and if he refuse to act, then the next last, and
s > backward. But if no iormer Grand Master be found, the
present Deputy shall act as Principal till a new Grand Mas­
ter is chosen; or if there be no Deputy, then the oldest
Mason, the present Master of a Lodge.—( 0. R. Art. 21.)

144 APPENDIX A.
Upon such a vacancy, if no former Grand Master, nor
former Deputy he found, the present Senior Grand Warden
fills the Chair, or in his absence the Junior, till a new Grand
Master is chosen: and if no present nor former Grand
Wardens be found, then the oldest Free Mason, who is now
Master of a Lodge.—(JY. R. Art. 21.)
ART. 5. No Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master,
Grand Warden, Treasurer, Secretary, or whoever acts for
them or in their stead, pro tempore, can, at the same time,
act as the Master or Warden of a particular Lodge ; but as
soon as any of them has discharged his public off<strong>ice</strong>, he
returns to that post or station in his particular Lodge, from
which he was called to officiate.—( 0. R. Art. 17.)
ART. 6. The Grand Master, with his Deputy, Grand
Wardens and Secretary, shall, at least once, go round and
visit all the Lodges about town, during his Mastership.—( 0.
R. Art. 20.)
Or else he shall send his Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs to visit the Lodges.
This old and laudable pract<strong>ice</strong> often renders a Deputy neces­
sary : and when he visits them the Senior Grand Warden acts
as Deputy, the Junior as the Senior, as above: or if both or
any of them be absent, the Deputy, or he that presides for
him, may appoint whom he pleases in their stead pro tempore.
For, when the Grand Masters are absent, the Senior or
the Junior Grand Warden may preside as Deputy in visiting
the Lodges, or in the constitution of a new Lodge; neither
of which can be done without, at least, one of the present
Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs.—(JV. R. Art. 20.)
The Grand Master or Deputy has full authority and right,
not only to be present, but also to preside in every Lodge,
with the Master of the Lodge on his left hand; and to order
his Grand Wardens to attend him, who are not to act as
Wardens of particular Lodges, but in his presence, and at
his command: For the Grand Master, while in a particular

Lodge, may command the Wardens of that Lodge, or any
other Master Masons, to act there as his Wardens pro tern.—
(0. R. Art. 1.)
That is, only when the Grand Wardens are absent; for
the Grand Master cannot deprive them of their off<strong>ice</strong> with­
out shewing cause, fairly appearing to the Grand Lodge.—
So that if they are present, in a particular Lodge with the
Grand Master, they must act as Wardens there.—(JV*. R.
Art. 1.)
ART. 7. The Grand Master should not receive any pri­
vate intimations of business concerning Masons and Masonry,
but from his Deputy first; except in such cases as his worship
can easily judge of: And if the application to the Grand
Master be irregular, his worship can order the Grand Wardens
or any other so applying, to wait upon the Deputy, who is
immediately to prepare the business, and to lay it orderly
before his worship.—( 0. R. Art. 16.)
OF THE DEPUTY <strong>GRAND</strong> MASTER.
ART. 1. He that is chosen Deputy at the Annual Feast,
find also the Grand Wardens, cannot be discharged, unless
the cause fairly appear to the Grand Lodge: for the Grand
Master, if he is uneasy, may call a Grand Lodge, on purpose
15 lay the cause before them, for their adv<strong>ice</strong> and concurrence.
And if the members of the Grand Lodge cannot reconcile
t ie Grand Master with his Deputy or Wardens, they are to
i How the Grand Master to discharge his Deputy or Wardens,
s nd to choose another Deputy immediately ; and the same
(fraud Lodge, in that case, shall forthwith choose other Grand
Wardens, that so harmony and peace may be preserved.— j
( 0. R. Art. 18.)
Should this case ever happen, the Grand Master appoints j
his Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs, as at first.—(JV*. R. Art. IS.)
ART. 2. If the Deputy be sick, or necessarily absent, the

v
n
146 APPENDIX A.
Grand Master can choose any Brother he pleases, to act as
his Deputy pro tern.—( 0. R. Art. 15.)
The Senior Grand Warden now ever supplies the Deputy's
place : the Junior acts as the Senior, the oldest former Grand
Warden as the Junior, also the oldest Mason as above.—
(JV. R. Art. 18.)
OF THE <strong>GRAND</strong> WARDENS.
ART. 1. In the Grand Lodge none can act as Wardens
but the present Grand Wardens, if in company; and, if
absent, the Grand Master shall order private Wardens to act
as Grand Wardens, pro tempore, whose places are to be sup­
plied by two Fellow-Crafts, or Master Masons of the same
Lodge, called forth to act, or sent thither by the Master
thereof; or, if by him omitted, the Grand Master, or lie that
presides, shall call them forth to act—that so the Grand Lodge
may be always complete.—( 0. R. Art. 15.)
Soon after the first edition of the Book of Constitutions?
the Grand Lodge, finding it was always the ancient usage,
that the oldest former Grand Wardens supplied the places of
those of the year when absent; the Grand Master ever since
has ordered them to take place immediately, and act as Grand
Wardens, pro tempore ; which they have done in the absence
of the Grand Wardens for the year, except when they have
waived their privilege for that time to honor some Brother,
whom they thought more fit for the present serv<strong>ice</strong>.
But if no former Grand Wardens are in company, the
Grand Master, or he that presides, calls forth whom he
pleases to act as Grand Wardens, pro tern.—(JV*. R. Art. 15.)
ART. 2. The Grand Wardens or any others, are first to
advise with the Deputy about the Affairs of the Lodges, or of
private single Brothers; and are not to apply to the Grand
Master without the knowledge of the Deputy, unless he refuse
his concurrence.—( 0. R. Art. 16.)

This was intended for the ease of the Grand Master, and
for the honor of the Deputy.
In which case, or in case of any difference of sentiment
between the Deputy and Grand Wardens, or other Brothers,
both parties are to go to the Grand Master by consent; who,
by virtue of his great authority and power, can easily decide
he controversy, and make up the difference.—(JV. R. Art.
16.)
ART. 3. The Grand Wardens shall have the care of
preparing tickets, sealed, with the Grand Master's Seal of
off<strong>ice</strong>, of disposing the tickets, of buying the materials of the
Feast, of finding out a proper and convenient place to feast
in, and of every other thing that concerns the entertainment.
—(0. R. Art. 23.)
Assisted by a certain number of Stewards at every Feast,
or by some general undertaker of the whole.—(JV*. JR.
Art. 23.)
The Grand Wardens and Stewards shall, in due time, wait
upon the Grand Master or Deputy, for directions and orders
about the premises; but if both their Worships are sick, or
necessarily absent, they may call together the Masters and
Wardens of Ledges, on purpose for their adv<strong>ice</strong> and orders;
0 • else they may take the whole affair upon themselves, and
d > the best they can,—( 0. R Art. 24.)
This, having been found too fatiguing and expensive to
il e Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs, the Grand Lodge has left the care and
c nduct of the Grand Feast to the Stewards, who, now, by
1 e Request of the Grand Lodge, take the whole affair upon
I imselves, and do the best they can.
Nor are their accounts now audited by the Grand Lodge,
j( cause they are generally out of pocket.—(.V. R. Art. 2-1.)
Whatever might be the case, when it w r
as ordained, that
the Grand Wardens and Stewards are to account for all the
money they receive or expend after dinner, to the Grand

Lodge, or when the Lodge shall think to audit their accounts.
—(0. R. Art. 24.)
The Grand Wardens or the Stewards shall, beforehand,
appoint such a number of Brethren to serve at table, as they
think fit; and they may advise with the off<strong>ice</strong>rs of Lodges
about the most proper persons, if they please, or may retain
such by their recommendation ; for none are to serve that
day but Free and Accepted Masons, that the communication
may be free and harmonious.—( 0. R. Art. 27.)
Now only the stewards appoint the attenders at table, who
are the more necessary if the cooks and butlers are not
Brothers.—(JV. R. Art. 27.)
OF THE <strong>GRAND</strong> TREASURER.
ART. 1. The Grand Treasurer is chosen by the Grand
Lodge.
ART. 2. To him shall be committed all money raised for
the general charity, or for any use of the Grand Lodge,
which he shall write down in a book, with the respective ends
and uses for which the several sums are intended; and shall
expend or disburse the same by such a certain order, signed,
as the Grand Lodge shall hereafter agree to in a new
regulation.
ART. 3. But by virtue of his off<strong>ice</strong> as Treasurer, without
any other qualification, he shall not vote in choosing a new
Grand Master and Wardens, though in every other transac­
tion.— (JV. R.)
ART. 4. The Treasurer and Secretary may have each a
clerk or assistant, if they think fit, who must be a Brother
and Master Mason; but must never be a member of the
Grand Lodge, nor speak without being allowed or com­
manded.—(JV. R.)

APPENDIX A. 149
OF THE <strong>GRAND</strong> SECRETARY.
The Grand Secretary is nominated yearly by the Grand
Master, and is a member of the Grand Lodge by his off<strong>ice</strong>.
OF PROVINCIAL <strong>GRAND</strong> MASTERS.
ART. 1. The off<strong>ice</strong> of Provincial Grand Master was
found particularly necessary in the year 1726; when the ex­
traordinary increase of the Craftsmen and their traveling into
distant parts, and convening themselves in Lodges, required
in immediate head, to whom they might apply in all cases,
*vhere it was not possible to wait the decision or opinion of
I he Grand Lodge.
ART. 2. The appointment of this Grand off<strong>ice</strong>r is a pre­
rogative of the Grand Master, who grants his deputation to
such Brother of eminence and ability in the craft, as he shall
think proper; not for life, but during his good pleasure.
ART. 3. The Provincial thus deputed, is invested with the
power and honor of a Deputy Grand Master; and during
the continuance of his Provincialship, is entitled to wear the
clothing, to take rank as the Grand off<strong>ice</strong>rs, in all public
assemblies, immediately after the Past Deputy Grand Mas­
ters ; and to constitute Lodges within his own Province.
ART. 4. He is enjoined to correspond with the Grand
lodge, and to transmit a circumstantial account of his pro­
ceedings, at least once in every year. At which times the
F rovincial is required to send a list of those Lodges he has
i> nstituted, their contributions for the general fund of charity,
a id the usual demand, as specified in his deputation, for
r ery Lodge he has constituted by the Grand Master's
u thority.
OF THE COMMITTEE OF CHARITY.
By the original order and constitution of nature, men ar e
so made and framed, that they of necessity want one .'mothers
assistance for their mutual support and preservation in the
20

world; being fitted by an implanted disposition to live in
societies and establish themselves into distinct bodies, for the
more effectual promulging and propagating a communication
of arts, labor and industry, of which charity and mutual
friendship is the common bond. It is in this respeet only,
that all the human race stand upon a level, having all the
same wants and desires, and are all in the same need of each
others assistance; as by this common cement every one is
bound to look upon himself as a membef of this universal
community, and especially the rich and great; for the truly
noble disposition never shines so bright as when engaged in
the noble purposes of social Love, Charity, and Benevolence.
Influenced by these great and good principles, of the most
prudent and effectual method of collecting and disposing of
what money should be lodged with them in charity, towards
the Relief only of a true Brother, fallen into poverty and
decay; but of none else.
When it was resolved, That each particular Lodge might
dispose of their own charity for poor Brothers, according to
their own By-Laws, until it should by all the Lodges, in a
new regulation, to carry in the charity, collected by them,
to the Grand Lodge at the Quarterly or Annual Communi­
cation ; in order to make a common stock for the more hand­
some relief of poor brethren.—( 0. R. Art. 13.)
ART. 2. In consequence of which regulation, at the
Grand Lodge on November 21,1724, Charles Lennos, Duke
of Richmond, Lenox and Aubigny, being Grand Master;
Brother Francis Scott, Earl of Dalkirth, afterwards Duke of
Buckleugh, the last Grand Master, proposed that in order to
promote the charitable disposition of Free Masons, and to
render it more extensively beneficial to the Society, each
Lodge may make a certain collection, according to ability, to
be put into a joint stock, lodged in the hands of a Treasurer, at
every Quarterly Communication, for the relief of distressed

Brethren that shall be recommended by the coEtributing
Lodges to the Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs, from time to time.
The motion being readily agreed to, Richmond, Grand
Master, desired all present to come prepared to give their
opinion of it at next Grand Lodge ; which was held in ample
form on March 17th, 1724, when
ART. 3. At the Lodge's desire, Grand Master Rich­
mond named a committee for considering of the best methods
to regulate the said Masons general charity ; they met, and
chos« for Chairman, William Cowper, Esq., Clerk of the
Parliament, who drew up the report. But the affair requir­
ing great deliberation, the report was not made till the Grand
Lodge met in ample form, on November 27, 1725, when
Richmond, Grand Master, ordered the report to be read. It
was well approved and recorded in the book of the Grand
Lodge; for which that committee received public thanks, in
this form; the committee, to whom it was referred to consider
of proper methods to regulate the general charity, after
several meetings for that purpose, came to the following
resolutions, as condusive to the end proposed by the reference:
1st. That it is the opinion of the committee, that the
contributions from the several Lodges be paid quarterly and
voluntarily.
2d. That no Brother be recommended by any Lodge a s
an object of charity, but who was a member of some regular
lodge, which shall contribute to the same charity, on or before
the 21st day of November, 1724, when the general charity
was first proposed in the Grand Lodge.
3d. That no Brother who has been admitted a member of
any such Lodge since that time, or shall hereafter be so
admitted, be recommended till three years after such admis­
sion ; and as to the methods or rules to be observed by the
Grand Lodge, in relieving such Brethren, who shall be quali­
fied as aforesaid, whom they 6hall think fit, upon application

152 APPENDIX A.
to themselves, to relieve, viz : Those concerning" the circum­
stances of the persons to be relieved, the sums to be paid,
the times or terms of payment, the continuance, suspending
or taking off such allowances, with the reasons thereof,
whether arising from the circumstances of the assisted
Brother being bettered, or from his behavior, in any respect,
rendering him unfit to have it continued ; and in general all
other circumstances attending the regular and ordinary
distribution of the charity, where the Grand Lodge think fit
to put any one upon it, the Committee are of opinion they
are most decently and securely left to the wisdom, care, and
discretion of the Grand Lodge, to do therein from time to
time, as cases shall happen, in a manner most agreeable to
the exigencies of them; which as the committee cannot
foresee with any certainty, so they are unable to lay down
any fixed proposals concerning them; but as it may fall out
that a Brother, who is in all respects qualified for relief, and
in need of it, may by the pressure of his circumstances, be
forced to apply, perhaps, a good while before a Quarterly
Communication may be had, or the Grand Lodge assembled,
for a present relief or subsistence, till he can make his case
known to the Grand Lodge, for their further favor. The
Committee took that case into their particular consideration;
and as to that, are humbly of opinion that three pounds, and
no more, mty be given to any particular distressed Brother,
who shall be recommended by any Lodge as an obect of this
charity, without the consent of the Grand Lodge.
5th. That the above said casual charity, of three pounds
or under, be disposed of as there shall be occasion, by a
Standing Committee of five, to consist of the Grand Master,
Deputy and Senior Grand Warden for the time being, and
two other members of the Grand Lodge, to be named by the
Grand Master, of which committee three always to be a quo­
rum. And it being absolutely necessary that, for collecting
and disbursing the sums which shall be for so charitable a

purpose, there should be a Receiver or Treasurer, publicly
entrusted and known, the Committee were further of opinion,
6th. That there be a Treasurer, to be nominated by the
Grand Master, and approved by the Grand Lodge. And,
7th. That after the first nomination, all further Trea­
surers be nominated upon every election of a Grand Master,
and approved as before.
8th. That all recommendations of any Brother, as an
object of casual charity of three pounds, or under, be made
to the said Treasurer, who is to give not<strong>ice</strong> of the application
forthwith, to the committee of five, for their directions in
the matter.
The committee then proceeded to consider of a proposal
made to them, viz : That the Treasurer should, from time to
time, give some collateral security for the due performance of
his trust, which they found or judged to be a matter of some
n<strong>ice</strong>ty in many respects, as well in regard that it is probable
none will ever be named to that employment of trouble and
no profit, but some Brother of distinction and sufficiency, and
who therefore rather does than receives a favor in it; as
that for the same reason such Brother would not care to ask
f ny others, especially not of the Craft, to be collateral secu­
rity for him; nor would any other, in all likelihood, in a
^ oluntary undertaking of this nature, which induced the com-
i nttee to think, that the requiring any such kind of security
< -ould render it at least very difficult, if not impracticable, to
{ et any Treasurer at all, more especially such a one in re-
s pect of rank and estimation, as the committee believes
< very Brother would be glad always to see in that trust; and
\ 'hose acting in it would really prove highly for the credit
end serv<strong>ice</strong> of the design itself: for which, and many other
r >asons of the same tendency, the committee concluded
against requiring of the Treasurer any such collateral secu­
rity, or that he should find any other persons to be bound
with, or for him; yet how unnecessary they think it may

and hope it always will be, to require even any security
whatever from one whose rank, fortune, probity, and honor,
might be alone sufficient in the case, and acting especially in
a matter of public charity to Masons, himself a Mason, and
under the high and solemn tie and obligation of that great
characters—The committee notwithstanding conceived, that
no Brother who may be nominated for that purpose, would
probably decline giving the Grand Lodge the satisfaction, if
they require it, of his own single personal security ; and
therefore submit it as their humble opinion,
That the Treasurer do give his personal security, by his
own bond, to the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, and
Senior Grand Warden, and the two Brothers of the afore­
said Committee of Five, not off<strong>ice</strong>rs, in the penalty and
with condition to be approved by the Grand Lodge hereafter,
if they think fit to require it.
And as concerning the Treasurer's Accounts, the com­
mittee were further of opinion,
That the Treasurer do produce his accounts of his receipts
and disbursements—either by order of the Grand Lodge or
Committee of Five—fair, and lay them before the Grand
Lodge, at every Quarterly Communication, with the vouch­
ers, for the disbursements; the items of the accounts to be
then publicly read over; and if any dispute or difficulty
shall arise upon any of them, the matter to be referred to
such five Brethren present, as the person then presiding shall
nominate, and the Grand Lodge approve, to examine into
the grounds of the same against the next Quarterly Com­
munication, when they are to report their proceedings in the
case, with the state of it, for the final judgment and direction
of the Grand Lodge: and,
That the Treasurer's accounts be allowed, from time to
time, by the Grand Master's signing them, as allowed in the
Grand Lodge, and any seven Masters of Lodges present
attesting such signing in their presence, and two copies of

such accounts, signed by the Treasurer, tobe forthwith de­
livered by him to the two Brethren of the Committee of Five,
not off<strong>ice</strong>rs, each one io be kept by them respectively; and
the Secretary to enter the account so signed and allowed in
the Grand Master's book. And,
The committee foreseeing that such a person, as if may be
thought proper to nominate, from time to time, to the off<strong>ice</strong>
of Treasurer upon this occasion, might, from many causes,
not always be able to attend the personal discharge of it:
and judging it reasonable, that if he requires or wants the
assistance of another, such assistant should have a suitable
reward, which, as the Treasurer himself makes no profit,
cannot be expected he should be at the charge of:—There­
fore they do further submit it as their opinion,
That if the Treasurer when appointed, shall find it neces­
sary to employ under him an assistant or clerk, he may be at
liberty so to do; such clerk or assistant to be a Brother, and
to have such allowance from time to time, by way of pound­
age, as the aforesaid Committee of Five shall think fit, out
of the moneys passing through the Treasurer's hands, not
exceeding twelve pence in the pound, without the particular
allowance and direction sf the Grand Lodge ; and this to be
charged and allowed in the Treasurer's accounts.
The committee think it necessary that every Treasurer,
upon his appointment be desired to give the earliest general
not<strong>ice</strong> he can, where he may be applied to, from time to
time, for the purposes of this charity, as need shall require.
All which they submit to your judgment and direction.

ART. 4. Yet no Treasurer was found till at the Grand
Lodge, in ample form, on June 24, 1727, Inchiquin, Grand
Master, requested Brother Nathaniel Blakerby, Esq., to ac­
cept of that off<strong>ice</strong>, which he very kindly undertook.
Then also it was resolved, that the four Grand off<strong>ice</strong>rs, for
the time being, together with Brother Martin Folkes, Francis
Sorell, and George Payne, Esqrs.,asa Committee of Seven,
should, upon due recommendations, dispose of the intended
charity; and fresh copies of the report were sent to the
Lodges.
ART. 5. At last this good work of charity was begun at
the Grand Lodge, on Nov. 25, 1729, Kingston being Grand
Master, and, in his absence, Deputy Grand Master Blakerby,
the Treasurer, in the chair; who, after a warm exhortation,
ordered the Lodges to be called over a second time, when
some off<strong>ice</strong>rs gave in the benevolence of their respective
Lodges, for which they were thanked; and their charity
being forthwith recorded, was put into the hands of the
Treasurer, as an hopeful beginning: and other Lodges
following the good example.
ART^ 6. At the Grand Lodge in due form, on Dec. 27,
1729, Deputy Grand Master Blakerby, the Treasurer, in the
chair, had the honor to thank many off<strong>ice</strong>rs of Lodges, for
bringing their liberal charity: when by a motion of Brother
Thomas Batson, counselor at law, the Grand Lodge ordained,
That every new Lodge, for their Constitution, shall pay two
guineas towards this general charity of Masons.
And ever since, the Lodges according to their ability,
have, by their off<strong>ice</strong>rs, seni tjieir benevolence to every Grand
Lodge, except on the Grand Feast day: and several dis­
tressed Brothers have been handsomely relieved.
ART. 7, But the Committee of Seven being thought too
few for this good work, the Grand Lodge, in due form, on

APPENDIX A. 1-57
Aug-. 2S, 1730, Norfolk being Grand Master, and in his
absence Deputy Grand Master Blakerby, the Treasurer, in
the chair, resolved, That the Committee of Charity shall
have added to them twelve Masters of contributing Lodges;
that the first twelve in the printed list, shall be succeeded by
the next twelve, and so on: and that for dispatch any five of
them shall be a quorum, provided one of the five is a present
Grand off<strong>ice</strong>r. Accordingly,
The Committee of Charity met the Treasurer, Blakerby,
:he first time, in the Mastership of Norfolk.
On November 13, 1730. When they considered the
petitions of some poor Brethren, whom they relieved, not
exceeding three pounds to each petitioner: and adjourned,
from time to time, for supplying the distressed according to
their powers; or else recommend them to the greater favor
of the Grand Lodge.
ART. 8. This committee had not all their powers at
once:—For, at the Grand Lodge on Dec. 15, 1730, Norfolk
being Grand Master, and in his absence, the Deputy Blakerby
in the chair, it was ordained, That for dispatch, all com­
plaints and informations about charity, shall be referred for
t le future to the Committee of Charity ; and that they shall
appoint a day for hearing the same, shall enter their pro­
ceedings in their own book, and .shall report their opinion to
t le Grand Lodge.
From this time, the minutes of the Committee of Charity
1. xve been read and considered at every Grand Lodge, ex-
c ?pt on the Grand Feast day.
ART. 9. At the Committee of Charity, March 16; 1730
- 31, it was agreed, That no petition shall be read, if the
p ititioner don't attend the committee in person; except in
the cases of sickness, lameness, or imprisonment.
ART. 10. At the Grand Lodge on May 14, 1731, upon
21

15S APPENDIX A.
the motion of Lovell, Grand Master, it was resolved, That
all former Grand Masters and Deputies shall be members of
the Committee of Charity.
That the committee shall have a power to give five pounds
as casual charity, to a poor Brother, but no more, till the
Grand Lodge assemble.
ART. 11. At the Committee of Charity, on June 18,
1731, it was agreed. That no poor Brother that has been
once assisted, shall, a second time, present a petition, without
some new allegation well attested.
ART. 12. At the Grand Lodge on June 8, 1732,
Viscount Montagu being Grand Master, and in his absence,
Deputy Grand Master Batson in the chair, having signified,
That notwithstanding the general charity, some poor Brothers
had molested noblemen and others—being Masons—with
private applications for charity, to the scandal of the craft;
it w r
as resolved, That any Brother who makes such private
applications for the future, shall be forever debarred from
any relief from the Committee of Charity, the Grand Lodge
or any assemblies of MASONS.
ART. 14. At the Committee of Charity, on July 5, 1732,
it was agreed, That no Brother shall be relieved, unless his
petition be attested by three Brothers of the Lodge to which
he does, or did once belong.
ART. 15. At the Grand Lodge, on Nov. 21, 1732,
Viscount Montagu being Grand Master, and in his absence
Deputy Batson in the chair, it was resolved, That all former

the motion of Strathmore, Grand Master, in the chair, it

APPENDIX A. 159
was resolved, That ALL Masters of regular Lodges, that
have contributed to the charity, within twelve months past,
shall be members of the committee, together with all former
and present Grand off<strong>ice</strong>rs.
ART. 17. That considering the usual business of a

reported to the next Grand Lodge.
ART. 18. That all questions, debated at the said com­
mittee, shall be decided by a majority of those present.
ART. 19. That all petitions for charity, presented to the
Grand Lodge, shall be referred to the said committee, who
are to report their opinion to the next Grand Lodge, viz:
Whether or not the case of any distressed Brother deserves
more relief than is in the power of the committee to give ?
ART. 20. That the said committee shall tw<strong>ice</strong> give
public not<strong>ice</strong>, in some public newspaper, of t u
' time and
place of their meetings.
ART. 21. At the Grand Lodge, on Feb. 24, 1834-35,
Craufurd, Grand Master, in the chair, it was recommended
by the committee, and now resolved here, That no Master,
of a Lodge shall be a member of the said committee, whose
Lodge, has not contributed to the general charity, during
twelve months past.
ART. 22. That one of the Brethren, signing and certify­
ing a poor Brother's petition, shall attend the committee to
attest it.
ART. 23. At the Grand Lodge, March 31, 1735, upon
the motion of Craufurd, Grand Master, in the chair, it was
resolved, That no extraneous Brothers, that is, not regularly

made but clandestinely, or only with a view to partake of the
charity ; nor any assisting at such irregular makings, shall
be ever qualified to partake of the Masons general charity.
ART. 24. That the Brothers attesting a petition for
charity, shall be able to certify that the petitioner has been

tioner does, or did belong.
ART. 26. That the name and calling of the petitioner

ART. 27. At the Grand Lodge, on April 6, 1736, Wey­
mouth being Grand Master, and, in his absence, Deputy-
Grand Master Ward, in the chair; upon the motion of the
Committee of Charity, it was resolved, That no petition of
charity shall be received, which has not been offered first to
the Secretary, and laid in his hands ten days, at least, before
the meeting of the Committee of Charity, that he may have
time to be informed of its allegations, if they are dubious.
ART. 28. At the Grand Lodge, on March 20, 1739,
Raymond Grand Master, it was resolved, That a Brother's
being entitled to, and receiving relief out of, the charity of a
particular Lodge, in pursuance of the laws thereof, shall be
no objection to his being relieved out of the general charity,
in case such Lodge shall contribute to said general charity,
according to the laws of the society.
ART. 29. At the Grand Lodge, on December 3, 1741
Morton Grand Master, it was resolved, That before the
Brethren proceed to business in any Committee of Charity,
all the laws relating to the disposal of the General Charity
of this Society be first read; and that for the future no
petition shall be received, unless every Brother shall, at the

ArrrjXDix A. 161
time of his signing the same, be a member of some regular
Lodge, and the name of such his Lodge be always specified.
ART. 30. At the Grand Lodge on June 18, 1752, Carys-
fort Grand Master, it was ordered, That the sum of three
Guineas be paid to the Grand Secretary, at every Communi­
cation and Annual Assembly, for his own incidental charges,
and that of an Assistant Secretary, out of the Public Fund-
Ordered, That any foreign Brother, after due examination,
shall be relieved by this Committee, with any sum not ex­
ceeding five Pounds, any law to the contrary notwithstanding-
ART. 31. At the Grand Lodge held on Nov. 29, 1754,
Carnarvan Grand Master, it was resolved, and ordered to be
entered as a standing regulation of this Society, that if any
Mason shall without special l<strong>ice</strong>nse of the Grand Master, or
his Deputy for the time being, attend as a Mason, clothed
in any of the jewels or clothing of the Craft, at any funeral
or funeral procession, he shall not only be for ever incapable
of being an off<strong>ice</strong>r of a Lodge, but even of Tyhng, or attend­
ing on a Lodge, or of partaking of the General Charity, if
he shall come to want it.
ART. 32. It was then also ordained, That if any Mason
shall attend, tyle, or assist as Tyler, at any meetings or pre­
tended Lodges of persons calling themselves Masons ; not
being a regular constituted Lodge, acknowledging the au­
thority of our Right Worshipful Grand Master, and con­
forming to the laws of the Grand Lodge, he shall be for
ever incapable of being a Tyler, or attendant on a Lodge, or
partaking of the General Charity.
ART. 33. At the Grand Lodge, on July 24, 1755, Car­
narvan Grand Master, it was ordered, That for the future,
every certificate granted to a Brother of his being a Mason,
shall be sealed with the seal of Masonry and signed by the
Grand Secretary ; for which five Shillings shall be paid to

the use of the General Fund of Charity. (See Makings,
Art. 9.)
Thus the Committee of Charity has been established
among the Free and Accepted Masons of England, who
have very generously contributed to their General Fund, and
do still persevere in the good work.
ART. 34. The Committee regularly meets, according to
summons of the Grand Master, or his Deputy, and has re­
lieved many distressed Brothers with small sums, not exceed­
ing five Pounds to each. But the Grand Lodge has ordered
the Treasurer to pay to some petitioners, ten, or fifteen, or
twenty Pounds, as they thought the case required. So that
the distressed have found far greater relief from this General
Charity than can be expected from particular Lodges ; and
the contributions being paid by the Lodges in parcels, at
various times, have not been burdensome.
ART. 35. The Treasurer's accounts have been audited
and balanced at every Grand Lodge ; whereby all know the
stock in hand, and how every parcel of the Charity has been
disposed of; every thing being duly recorded in the Grand
Lodge Book, and in that of the Committee, of which every
Master of a contributing Lodge is a Member.
OF THE STEWARDS.
The first mention made of Stewards, is in the Old Regula­
tions, 33, concerning the Annual Feast, where it is ordained,
That in order to relieve the two Grand Wardens in the ex­
traordinary trouble of that General Assembly, and that all
matters might be expeditiously and safely managed, the Grand
Master or his Deputy, shall have power to nominate and ap­
point a certain number of Stewards, as his Worship shall think
fit, to act in concert with the two Grand Wardens; and that
all things, relating to the Feast should be decided among
them by a majority of votes ; except the Grand Master, or

his Deputy, interpose by a particular direction and appoint­
ment.—(See Grand Wardens.)
ART. 1. On April 29, 1724, the Grand Lodge oidained,
That at the Feast, the Stewards shall open no wine till din­
ner be laid on the tables ; that the members of each Lodge
shall sit together as much as possible ; that after eight of the
clock at night, the Stewards shall not be obliged to furnish
any wine or other liquors ; and that either the money or
tickets shall be returned to the Stewards.
ART. 2. On November 26, 1728, the off<strong>ice</strong> of Stewards,
that had been disused at three preceding Feasts, was revived
by the Grand Lodge, and their number to be always twelve ;
who, together with the Grand Wardens, shall prepare the
Feast.
ART. 3. On March 17, 1730-1, the Stewards for the
year were allowed to have jewels of silver (though not gilded)
pendant to red ribbons, about their necks, to bear white
rods, and to line their white leather aprons with red silk.
Former Stewards were also allowed to wear the same
sort of aprons, white and red.
ART. 4. On March 2, 1731-2, the Grand Lodge allowed
each of the acting Stewards for the future, at the Feast, the
privilege of naming his successor in that off<strong>ice</strong>, for the year
ensuing.
ART. 5. On June 24, 1735, upon an address from those
that have been Stewards, the Grand Lodge, in consideration
of their past serv<strong>ice</strong> and future usefulness, ordained,
That they should be constituted a Lodge of Masters, to be
called the Stewards Lodge ; to be registered as such in the
Grand Lodge Book and printed lists, with the times and
place of their meetings.

164
APPENDIX Am
ART. 6. That the Stewards Lodge shall have the pri-
| vilege of sending a deputation of twelve to every Grand
! Lodge, viz : the Master, two Wardens, and nine more ; and
each of the twelve shall vote there ; and each of them that
attends shall pay Half a Crown, towards the expense of the
I Grand Lodge.
ART. 7. That no Brother, who has not been a Steward,
I shall wear the same sort of aprons and ribbons.
ART. 8. That each of the Twelve Deputies from the
I Stewards Lodge shall, in the Grand Lodge, wear a peculiar
jewel suspended in the red ribbon; the pattern of which was
then approved.
ART. 9. That the twelve Stewards of the current year
shall always attend the Grand Lodge in their proper clothing
and jewels, paying at the rate of four Lodges towards the
| expense of the Communication; but they are not to vote,
nor even to speak, except when desired, or else of what re­
lates to the ensuing Feast only.
OF CONSTITUTIONS.
THE ANCIENT MANNER OF CONSTITUTING A LODGE.
A new Lodge, for avoiding many irregularities, should be
solemnly constituted by the Grand Master, with his Deputy
and Wardens; or, in the Grand Master's absence, the De­
puty acts for his worship; the Senior Grand Warden as
Deputy, the Junior Grand Warden as the Senior, and a
present Master of a Lodge as the Junior.
Or if the Deputy is also absent, the Grand Mastsr may
depute either of his Grand Wardens, who can appoint others
to be Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs pro tempore.
The Lodge being opened, and the candidates, or the new
Master and Wardens being yet among the Fellow-Crafts,
the Grand Master shall ask his Deputy if he has examined

them, and find the Candidate Master well skillled in the no­
ble science and the royal art, and duly instructed in our
mysteries, &c.
The Deputy, answering in the affirmative, shall, by the
Grand Master's order, take the candidate from among his
Fellows and present him to the Grand Master, saying, Right
Worshipful Grand Master, the Brethren hen- ieeJN IB be
formed into a Lodge; and I present my worthy Brother, A.
B., to be their Master, whom I know to be of good morals
| and great skill, true and trusty, and a lover of the whole fra­
ternity wheresoever dispersed over the face of the earth.
Then the Grand Master, placing the candidate on his left
hand, having asked and obtained the unanimous consent of
the Brethren, shall say, I constitute and form these good
Brethren into a new Lodge, and appoint you, Brother A. B.,
the Master of it, not doubting of your capacity and care to
preserve the cement of the Lodge, &c, with some other ex­
pressions that are proper and usual on that occasion, but not
proper to be written.
Upon this, the Deputy shall rehearse the charges of a
Master; and the Grnnd Master shall ask the candidate, say­
ing. Do you submit to these charges, as Masters have done, in
all ages I And the new Master signifying his cordial sub­
mission thereunto.
The Grand Master shall, by certain significant ceremonies
Bad IBM Hut usa

The Deputy and Grand Wardens, and any other Brethren
present, that are not members of this new Lodge, shall next
congratulate the new Master; and he shall return his becom­
ing acknowledgments to the Grand Master first, and to the
rest in their order.
Then the Grand Master orders the new Master to enter
immediately upon the exercise of his off<strong>ice</strong>, viz: in choosing
his Wardens: and, calling forth two Fellow-Crafts (Master
Masons), presents them to the Grand Master for his appro­
bation, and to the new Lodge for their consent. Upon
which
The Senior or Junior Grand Warden, or some Brother for
him, shall rehearse the charges of each Warden of a private
Lodge; and they signifying their cordial submission thereunto,
The new Master shall present them singly, with the several
instruments of their off<strong>ice</strong>, and in due form instal them in
their proper places. And the Brethren of this new Lodge
shall signify their obedience to those new Wardens by the
usual congratulation.
Then the Grand Master gives all the Brethren joy of theic
new Master and Wardens, and recommends harmony;
hoping their only contention will be a laudable emulation in
cultivating the Royal Art and the Social Virtues.
Upon which, all the new Lodge bow together, in returning
thanks for the honor of this Constitution.
The Grand Master also orders the Secretary to register
this new Lodge in the Grand Lodge Book, and to notify the
same to the other particular Lodges ; and after the Master's
song, he orders the Grand Warden to close the Lodge.
This is the sum, but not the whole ceremonial by far;
which the Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs can extend or abridge at pleasure,
explaining things that are not fit to be written: though none
but those that have acted as Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs, can accurately
go through all the several parts and usages of a new constitu­
tion, in the just solemnity.

ART. 1. On December 27, 1729, ordered, That every
new Lodge, for the future, shall pay tuo guineas for their
constitution, to the general Fund of Charity.
AIIT. 2. December 27, 1727, the precedency of Ledges
is grounded on the seniority of their constitution.—(A*. R.
Art 3.)
AHT. 3. November 25, 1723, no new Lodge is owned,
nor their off<strong>ice</strong>rs admitted into the Grand Lodge, unless it be
reguLrly constituted and registered.—(A*. R. Art. 12.)
ART. 4. If any set or number of Masons shall take upon
themselves to form a Lodge, without the Grand Master's war­
rant, the regular Lodges are not to countenance them, nor
own them as fair Brethren, duly formed, nor apj rove of their
acts nnd deeds; but must treat them as rebc/s, until they
humble themselves, as the Grand Master shall in hi3 pru­
dence direct, and until he approve of them by his warrant,
signified to the other Lodges; as the custom is, when a new
Lodge is to be registered in the Grand Lodge Book—( O.R.
Art. 8. See pages 265, 266. See Makings, Art. 3. Duty
of Members, Art. 5, 6.)
OF MAKINGS.
ART. 1. No Lodge shall make more than Jive new
Brothers at one and the same time, without an urgent neces­
sity ; nor any man under the age of twenty-five years, who
must be also his own master, unless by a dispensation from-
the Grand Master.—( 0. R. Art. 4.)
At a Quarterly Communication, November 23, 1753,
Carysfort, Grand Master, it was unanimously ordered,
ART. 2. That no Lodge shall ever make a Mason with*
out due enquiry into his character; neither shall any Lodge
be permitted to make and raise theaame Brother, at one and
the same meeting, without a dispensation from the Grand
Master, which, on very particular oeaMoni only, may be
requested.

ART. 3. That no Lodge shall ever make a Mason for a
less sum than one guinea; and that guinea to be applied
either to the private fund of the Lodge, or to the public
charity, without deducting from such deposit, any money
towards the defraying the expense of the T r, &c. t
under the forfeiture of that constitution. But this is not to
extend to the making of Waiters, Serviters, or menial Ser­
vants, who may be inst tuted by the Lodge they are to serve;
provided such making or institution be done without fee or
reward.—(Sec Art. 8, below.)
ART. 4. Every new Brother at his entry, is decently to
clothe the Lodge, that is, all the Brethren present; and to
deposit something for the relief of indigent and decayed
Brethren, as the candidate shall think fit to bestow, over and
above the small allowance that may be stated in the By-Laws
of that particular Lodge: which charity shall be kept by
the Cashier.*
Also, the candidate shall solemnly promise to submit to the
Constitutions and other good usages that shall be intimated
to him in time and place convenient.
ART. 5. On April 25, 1723, every Brother concerned in
making Masons clandestinely, shall not be allowed to visit
any Lodge till he has made due submission, even though the
Brothers so made may be allowed.
ART. 6. On February 19,1724, none who form a Stated
Lodge without the Grand Master's leave, shall be admitted
into regular Lodges, till they make submission and obtain
grace.
ART. 7. On Nov. 21, 1724, If any brethren form a
Lodge without leave, and shall irregularly make new Broth­
ers, they shall not be admitted into any regular Lodge, no
not as visitors, till they render good reason, or make due
submission.
* Only particular Lodges are not limited, but may take their own method
for Charity.—N. R., Art. 7.

ART. 8. On March 31, 1735, seeing that some extran­
eous Brothers have been made lately in a clandestine man­
ner, that is, in no regular Lodge, nor by any authority or
dispensation from the Grand Master, and upon small and
unworthy considerations, to the dishonor of the Craft.
The Grand Lodge decreed, that no person so made, nor
any concerned in making him, shall be a Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>r, nor
an off<strong>ice</strong>r of a particular Lodge ; nor shall any such partake
of the General Charity, if they should come to want it.—(.Vnr
Reg. Art. S.)
OF THE MASTERS AND WARDENS OF PARTI­
CULAR LODGES.
ART. 1. On Nov. 25, 1723, it was agreed that if a Mas­
ter of a particular Lodge is deposed or demits, the Senior
Warden shall forthwith fill the Master's Chair till the next
time of choosing; and ever since, in the Master's absence,
he fills the Chair, even though a former Master be present.
—( Old Reg. Art. 2. Sec Grand Lodge, Art. 5, 6.)
The Master of a particular Lodge has the right and au­
thority of congregating the Members of his Lodge into a
Chapter, upon aoy emergency or occurence: as well as to
appoint the time and place of their usual forming; and in
case of death or sickness, or necessary absence of the Master,
the Senior Warden shall act as Master, pro tern j ore, if no
Brother is present who has been Master of that Lodge be­
fore ; for the absent Master's authority reverts to the last
Master present, though he cannot act till the Senior Warden
has congregated the Lodge.—( Old Reg. Art. 2.)
T. 2. On March 17, 1730-1, Masters and Wardens
icular Lodges may line their white leather aprons with
ite silk, and may hang their jewels at while ribbons about
their necks.—(JV*ew Reg. Art. 2.)
ART. 3. The Master of each particular Lodge, or one
of the Wardens, or some other Brother, by TT'**tT >
** w
—* of

170 APPENDIX A.
the Master, shall keep a hook, containing their by-laws, the
names of their members, and a list of all the Lodges in town,
with the usual times and places oi their forming ; and also
all the transactions of their own Lodge, that are proper to be
written.—( Old Reg. Art. 3. See Grand Lodge, Art. 2, 8,
11,17 and Grand Feast Art. 2. Duty of Members, Art. 3.
Removals, Art. 2.)
OF THE DUTY OF MEMBERS.
ART. 1. No man can be accepted a Member of a parti­
cular Lodge, without previous not<strong>ice</strong>, one month before,
given to the Lodge ; in order to make due enquiry into the
reputation and capacity of the candidate, unless by a dispen­
sation.— ( Old Reg. Art. 5.)
ART. 2. But no man can be entered a Brother in any
particular Lodge, or admitted a Member thereof, without
the unanimous consent of all the Members of that Lodge
then present, when the candidate is proposed, and when their
consent is formally asked by the Master. They are to give
their consent in their own prudent way, either virtually or in
form, but with unanimity. Nor is this inherent privilege
subject to a dispensation ; because the Members of a parti­
cular Lodge are the best judges of it; and because if a tur­
bulent Member should be imposed on them, it might spoil
their harmony, or hinder the freedom of their communication,
or even break and disperse the Lodge, which ought to be
avoided by all true and faithful.
But it was found inconvenient to insist upon unanimity in
several cases. And therefore the Grand Masters have allowed
the Lodges to admit a Member, if not above three ballots are
against him; though some Lodges desire no such allowance.
—(New Reg. Art. 6.)
ART. 3. The majority of every particular Lodge, when
congregated, not else, shall have the privilege of giving in­
structions to their Master or Wardens, before the Meeting of

171
the Grand Chapter or Quarterly Communication ; because
the said off<strong>ice</strong>rs are their representatives, and are supposed to
speak the sentiments of their Brethren at the said Grand
Lodge.—(Old Reg. Art. 10.)
Upon a sudden emergency, the Grand Lodge has allowed
a private Brother to be present, and with leave asked and
given, to signify his mind, if it was about what concerned
Masonry.—(New Reg. Art. 10.)
ABT. 4. All particular Lodges are to observe the same
usages as much as possible ; in order to which, and also for
cultivating a good understanding among Free Masons, some
members of every Lodge shall be deputed to visit the other
Lodges, as often as shall be thought convenient.—( Old Reg.
Art. 11.
The same usages, for substance, are actually observed in
every Lodge ; which is much owing to visiting Brothers, who
compare the usages.—(New Reg. Art. 11.)
ART. 5. On Feb. 24, 1734-5, if any Lodge, within the
blotted out of the Grand Lodge Book and engraved list And
lf they petition
to be again inserted and owned as a regular
Lodge, it must lose its former place and rank of precedency,
and submit ibmit to a new Constitution.—(„Vcu? Reg. Art. 8.)
AHT. 6. N,
No set or number of Brethren shall withdraw
become too numerous; nor even then, without a Dispensa­
tion from the Grand Master or Deputy; and when thus se­
to be regularly constituted in good time.
t-K>

ART. 7. But if' any Brother so far misbehave himself
so as to render his Lodge uneasy, he shall be thr<strong>ice</strong> duly ad­
monished by the Master and Wardens, in a Lodge formed;
and if he will not refrain his imprudence, nor obediently sub­
mit to the adv<strong>ice</strong> of his Brethren, he shall be dealt with
according to the By-Laws of that particular Lodge, or else
in such a manner as the Quarterly Communication shall, in
their great prudence, think fit.—( Old Reg., Art. 9.)
On Feb. 19, 1723-4, no brother shall belong to more than
one Lodge within the Bills of Mortality, though he may visit
them all, except the members of a foreign Lodge.—(New
Reg. Art. 4.)
This regulation is neglected for several reasons, and now,
says Dr. Anderson, is become obsolete.—(See Grand Lodge,
Art. 11, Grand Feast, Art. 5.)
OF VISITORS.
On Feb. 19, 1723-4, no Visitor, however skilled in Ma­
sonry, shall be admitted into a Lodge, unless he is personally
known to, or well vouched and recommended by one of that
Lodge present.—(New Reg. Art. 6. See Makings, Art. 5,
6,7. Duty of Members, Art. 47. Sec also Grand Master,
Art. 6.)
OF REMOVALS.
ART. 1. On Nov. 21, 1754, if a particular Lodge re­
move to a new place for their stated meeting, the Off<strong>ice</strong>rs
shall immediately signify the same to the Secretary.—(New
Reg. Art. 4. See duty of Members, Art 6.)
On Jan. 25, 1737-S,the Grand Lodge made the following
Regulation:
ART. 2. Whereas, disputes have arisen about the remo­
val of Lodges from one house '.o another, and it has been
questioned in whom that power is vested; it is hereby
declared,

173
That no Lodge shall be removed without the Mnstcr's
knowledge; that no motion be made for removing in the
Master's absence; and ti at if the motion be seconded or
thirded, the Master shall order summons to every individual
member, specifying the business, and appointing a day for
hearing and determining the affair, at least ten days before:
and that the determination shall le made by the majoriiy,
provided the Master be one of that majority; but if he be
of the minority against removing, the Lodge shall not be
removed unless the majority consists of full two-thirds of the
members present.
But if the Master shall refuse to direct such summons,
either of the Wardens may do it: And if the Master neg­
lects to attend on the day fixed, the Wardens may preside in
determining the aff.iir in the manner prescribed; but they
shall not, in the Master's absence, enter upon any other
cause but what is particularly mentioned in the summons:
and if the Lodge is thus regularly ordered to be removed,
the Master or Wardens shall send not<strong>ice</strong> thereof to the Sec­
retary of the Grand Lodge for publishing the same at the
next Quarterly Communication.—(New Reg. Art. 9.)
AaT. 3. Carnarvan, Grand Master, Nov. 29, 1754, it
was ordained, That no Lodge shali for the future be deemed
regularly removed until the removal thereof shall be approved
and allowed by the Grand Master, or his Deputy for the
time being.
OF THE <strong>GRAND</strong> FEAST.
A«T. 1. The Brethren of all the Lodges in and about
London and Westminster, shall meet annually in some con­
venient place or public hall.—( O. R . . hi. 2*2.)
Or, any Brethren round the Globe, who are true and
faithful, at the place appointed, till they have built a place of
their own.
Arrrsmx A.
They shall assemble either on St. John Erangelisfs or
23

St. John Baptist's Day, as the Grand Lodge shall think fit,
by a new regulation ; having of late years met on St. John
Baptist's Day:
Provided the majority of the Grand Lodge, about three
months before, shall agree that there shall be a Feast and a
general Communication of all the Brethren: for if they are
against it, others must forbear it at that time.—(See Grand
Wardens, Art. 3.)
But whether there shall be a Feast or not, for all the
Brethren, yet the Grand Lodge must meet in some conveni­
ent place on St. John's Day; or if it be a Sunday, then on
the next day, in order to choose or recognize every year a
new Grand Master, Deputy and Wardens.—(See Grand
Master, Art. 1.)
The annual Feast has been held on both the St. John's
Days, as the Grand Master thought fit. And,
On November 25, 1723, it was ordained, That one of the
Quarterly Communications shall be held on St. John Evan'
gelisVs day, and another on St. John Baptist's day, every
year, whether there be a Feast or not, unless the Grand Mas­
ter find it inconvenient for the good of the Craft, which is
more to be regarded than days.
But of late years, most of the eminent Brethren being out
of town on both the St. John's days, the Grand Master has
appointed the Feast on such a day as appeared most conve­
nient to the Fraternity.
On January 29, 1730-1, it was ordained, That no partic­
ular Lodge shall have a separate Feast on the day of the
General Feast.—(A*. K., Art. 21.)
ART. 2. The Masters of Lodges shall appoint one ex­
perienced and discreet Brother of his Lodge to compose a
committee, consisting of one from every Lodge, who shall
meet in a convenient apartment to receive every person that

ings a Ticket; and shall have power to discourse him, if
they think fit, in order to admit or debar him, as they shall
see M M : Provided.
They send no mar. away before they have acquainted all
I B H.e:hrc:i within d09Ti with the reasons thereof; that so
no true Brother may be del aired, nor a false Brother or a
mere jreiender admitted. This Committee mutt meet very
early on St. John's Day, at the place, before any persons
come with tickets.—( Old Reg., Jlrt. 25.)
Anr. 3. On Jan. 25, 1723, The Grand Lodge ordered
that the Committee of Enquiry and the Stewards, with oth­
ers, shall 1 B eaily at the place of the Feast for those purposes
mentioned in this Old Regulation, and the order was confirmed
by tiic Grand Lodge, viz: on Nov. 17, 1725.—(New
Reg., Jlrt. 25. Sez Grand Wardens, Art. 3, and Stewards,
At. 1, 2, 3.
ART. 4. The Grand Master shall appoint two or more
true and trusty Brothers to be Poiters and Door-Keepers,
who are also to be early at the place for some good reasons,
and who are to be at the command of said Committee.—( 0.
Art. 26. Su Grand Lodge, Art. 2.)
The Tylers and other servants, within or without doors, are
ow appointed only by the Stewards.—(New Rep., Art. 26.)
ABT. 5. All the members of the Grand Lodge must be
I place of the Feast long before dinner, with the Grand
er or his Deputy at their head, who shall retire and form
selves. And this in order
To receive any appeals duly lodged as above regulated ;
(See Grand Lodge, Art. 11.) that the appellant and respond-
nit may both be heard, and the affair may be amicably decided
But if it cannot, it must be delayed until after the new Grand
Blaster takes the Chair.

And if it cannot be decided after dinner, the Grand Master
must refer it to a special Committee, that shall quickly adjust
it and make report to the next Grand Lodge ; that so broth­
erly love may be preserved.
To prevent any difference or disgust which may be feared
to arise that day, that so no interruption may be given to the
harmony and pleasure of the General Assembly and Grand
. Feast.
To consult about whatever concerns the decency and de­
corum of the Grand Assembly, and to prevent ill manners,
the Assembly being promiscuous, that is, of all sorts of Five
Masons.—(0. R.,Jrt 28.)
This however was found so inconvenient and disconsonant
with the intention of a day of mirth, that it was soon after,
on Nov. 25, 1723, ordained, That there should be no petitions
or appeals on the day of the General Assembly and Feast.
—(.V. R.. Art. 13.)
ART. 6. The Grand Lodge must be formed before dinner.
—(Sic Grand Master, Art. 1, 2, 3.
ART. 7. It was formerly the custom, after the Grand
Master was proposed, for the Grand Master, the Deputy, the
Grand Wardens, the Stewards, the Treasurer, the Secretary,
the Clerks, and every other person, to withdraw and leave
the Masters and Wardens of particular Lodges alone; in
order to their amicable consulting about the election of a new
Grand Master, or the continuing of the present another year;
if the said Masters and Wardens had not met and done it
the day before.
And if they agreed by a majority to continue the present
Grand Master, his Worship was called in; and alter thanks,
was humbly desired to do the Fraternity the honor of ruling
them another year. And after dinner, and not before, it
was made known whether he accepted of it or not.—( Old
Rg. Art. 29.

But this being found inconvenient, a new regulation was
made at the Assembly, on Dec. 27, 1720, and thereby
agreed, That the new Grand Master should bv the present
be proposed to the Grand Lodge at their Communication,
some time before the day of their Annual Feast; and that
if he was approved then, or no objection made, he was to be
forthwith saluted Grand Master elect, if there ; or if absent,
his health was to be toasted as such; and that as such he
was to march to the feast on the present Grand Master's left
hand. *
Thus on Lady-day, 1721, Payne Grand Master, proposed
the Duke of Montagu; and all have since been so proposed,
j Therefore,
Now, before dinner, there is no election, but only a re­
cognizing of the former approbation of the new Grand Mas­
ter, which is soon done.
I Am-. 8. Then the Masters and Wardens, and all the
Brethren may converse promiscuously, or as they please to
j sort together, until the dinner is coming in, when every
Brother takes his seat at the table.—( Old Reg. Ar\. 30.)
The Grand Master may say grace himself, or employ some
Brother who is a Clergyman, or else t';

with the Masters and Wardens in private before dinner to
continue for the year ensuing, then one of the Grand Lodge,
deputed for that purpose, shall represent to all the brethren
his Worship's good government, &c, and turning to him,
shall in the name of the Grand Lodge, humbly request him
to do the Fraternity the great honor (if nobly born, if not)
the great kindness of continuing to be their Grand Master
for the year ensuing; and his Worship declaring his consent
by a bow or a speech, as he pleases, the said deputed member
of the Grand Lodge shall proclaim him aloud
<strong>GRAND</strong> MASTER OF MASONS !
All the members of the Grand Lodge shall salute him in
due form; and all the brethren shall,for a few minutes,have
leave to declare their satisfaction, pleasure and congratula-
tioa.—(Old Reg. Art. 32. See Grand Master. Art. 1,2.)
ART. 11. But if either the Masters and Wardens have
not in private this day before dinner, nor the day before, de­
sired the last Grand Master to continue in his Mastership
another year ; or if he, when desired, has not consented, then
the present Grand Master shall nominate his successor.—
( Old Reg. Art. 33. See Grand Master, Art. 1.)
ART. 12. The Grand Master, or Deputy, or some other
appointed by him, shall harangue all the Brethren and give
them good adv<strong>ice</strong>. And lastly,
After some other transactions, that cannot be written in any
language, the Brethren may stay longer, or go away, as they
please, when the Lodge is closed in good time.—( Old Reg.
Art. 33.)
After the oration, the five public healths may be toasted ;
and before or after each, a Masons song, with the best in­
struments of music.

Other things relating to the charges, &x., of the Grand
Master, arc best known to the Fraterrity.—(A" «• Reg. Art.
38.)

PUBLIC INSTALLATION OF OFFICEES,

AND
W. MASTER OF ORIENTAL LODGE, No. 33,
AT CHICAGO.
M. W. <strong>GRAND</strong> MASTER—R. W. A W. BRETHREN—LADIES AND FELLOW
CITIZENS :
It is sweet to see the tempest-tossed vessel homeward hound, with canvas
spread to the favoring breeze, fast-ecudding upon Old Ocean'sheaving bosom,
and nearing the dear shores of our father-land.
It is sweet to see the tender greeting of long absent loved ones—the cordial
grasp of affection's trembling hand, the dew-drop of joy glistering in the
sparkling eye; to hear the full-souled welcome to " home, sweet home !"— -
to receive friendship's pure and ardent embrace, and feel the heart throb ex-
ultingly in unison with heart.

It if fwwt when the day toil is over, and aoft twilight mantles ell in b^i
darksome drapery, to be environed with th. d.'sctable ere of fragrant
lepbyr's wing.
It is sweet when

Let us approach% a
Let us enter; and here on bended knee, offer our oblations
at the holy shrino of Masonry. The tutelar Godde-s reeeives the
grateful offering with the benignant smile of approbation—still beautiful as
Anadyomene, issuing from the bosom of the waves; lovely, as
" Young Iris when she dips
Her mantle in the sparkling dew;"
pure, as tho glacier's virgin snow; fresh, as Aurora laughing the shades of
darkness away; and blooming, as tho roso deep-blushing at its own redolent
sweetness—
" Time writes no wrinkle on her ' spotless brow,"
Such as Creation's dawn beueld,' thus is she now.
The evening cloud receives the kiss of the parting sun, dies in a blush, and
is forever gone; the Heaven-dyed Iris lives but an hour; the delicate flower
falls in a day; the freshness of youth soon fades from tho carnationed
cheek of the maiden ; and man, formed in the image of God, next to the
Lngels in intelligence, with his colossal mind compassing and penetrating
earth, sea, and sky, dies !—and whore is he ?
Nations pass away; empires decay; monuments of antiquity crumble
into dust; the bat wings his drowsy flight in the palace of kings : the spider
weaves his web in the council chamber of senators; and tho owl sings his
watch-song in the august temples of the gods !
The mountain falling, sleeps on the bosom of tho plain ; the green island
links in the embrace of tho ocean; the comet is lost in the wilderness of
worlds ; and the sweet Pleiad, leaves the arms of her dear sisters, to wandor
an outcast in tho boundless blue depths of ether ! But amidst these mutations,
Masonry still survives; for, like the house of the wise man, it is
founded on a rock ; nnd as the dark oceau of oblivion sweeps along, and engulfs
passing events in its inky waves, Masonry, standing justly and uprightly
on her watch-tower, with lamps trimmed and lights burning on her sacred
altar, unfurls her snowy banner to the breeze, and shouts amid the gloom—
ALL IS WELL! GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON
EARTH, PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN!
These last simple, but eloquent words, embody all the principles of our
time-honored institution—its wholo design, scope and aim—and contain the
essence of genuine Free Masonry. To accomplish this end, it commands
proficiency in the several arts and science?; adopts the Holy Bible as its
statute-law; BROTHERLY LOVE, RELIEF, and TRUTH, as its tenets ;
enjoins tho pract<strong>ice</strong> of the cardinal virtues, TEMPERANCE, FORTITUDE,
PRUDENCE, and JUSTICE ; and is ever admonishing us to have FAITH
in God. HOPE in Immortality, and CHARITY to all mankind—thus, by
symbols, the mo3r expressive and impressive, forming a beautiful system of
morality, positively prohibiting all that is degrading or debasing, and earnestly
inculcating whatsoever is true, whatsoever is honest, whatsoever is justi
whatsoever is pure, whatsoever is lovely—calling into exertion the noblest
feelings of the heart, the loftiest aspirations of the soul, and bringing into
requisition the strongest powers of the human intellect.

Hence, Maaonry dispell the lowering cloud* of ignorance, wipe* away th*
suffocating miits of bigotry, and givj* freedom of thought, of speech, aad
of action ; and man'* mighty intellect, knocking off the clanking chain* of
•ervitude, and shattering into atoms tbe iron crusted shell of selfishness,
emerges from its prison-house, and steps forth in the beautiful sun-light of
knowledge in all its God-like majesty, " redeemeJ, regenerated, and disenthralled!"
It unbars the golden gates of science, unlock* the secret chambers of mystery,
affording a pleasure more delectable than the roseate sweets of Bacchus'
iry-wreathed goblet, more enrapturing than the mountain-moving mucic of
Orpheus' heaven-born lyre—unfolding a treasure moro desirable than the
pearl und*r " Oman's green water "—more valuable than the glittering ore
of the wild Sacramento.
It opens tho broad book of the Universe, with its ten thousand interesting
and instructive objects of contemplation ; the beautiful earth. " so grand, so
glorious in its action, and in itself "—its towering mountains—its quietly
sleeping vales—its soft rolling streams—its rushing torrents, and thundering
cataracts—the w.de world of waters too, old Ocean
• Boundless, endless, and sublime.

Of the Invisible :"
The illimitable blue expanse above, like another mighty ocean, far, far
away—vast Archipelago, studded with countless glittering isles, throbbing
with light, in the (Treat pulse of Nature: Nay, the little glow-worm that
twinkles amid the darkness of Night—• tho bright Eye of the Universe, the
gorgeous sun that swings resplendent in the boundless realms of space ; the
animalcule that floats upon the downy b-wom of the breese ; the Luge mastodon
that shakes earth with bis ponderous weight; the tiny hummingbird,
that sports in the chal<strong>ice</strong> of the honey-suckle, the proud eagle, that
eleaves with unwearied wing the pure empyrean ; the insignificant flower,
that dares not raise its sinking form from the earth ; the beautiful lily, tbat
drinks the life-giving dews of heaven, and bowi its lovely head in bumble
gratitude ; the dwarfish, stunted oak, that boldly braves the chilling blast
nolis, that burthens the balmy sepbyr of the " sunny south " with the
delicious aroma of its snowy blossom ; the soft night wind, tbat grnt'y
creeps along, hardly rustling the crisp, withered leaves of aotnmn ; the
storm-king, that moves wildly onward, seated in his dark pavillion, wrapped
in his sombre mantle, and drawn furiously along by the dashing steeds of
the hurricane, whilst the lofty forest bends in humble awe at bis majestic
presence, and heaven's artillery greets big direful coming with firry flash
and deep-mouthed thunder :—the midnight sun, that bathes in spVndor the
bald summit of the Avasaxa, and gilds with golden resplendency the <strong>ice</strong>berg's
pellucid brow: the Aurora Boreal i«, that encircles the Northern Pete with
roseate majesty, and lights the weary Laplander to his cheerless boms ; the
hkmhng asset, eccentric wanderer of the skies, that for ages essence the blue

sea of ether, visiting countless glittering worlds, beholding them in the
b"uu f
y of their creation, in the august magnif<strong>ice</strong>nce of their meridian glory,
and in tho awful sublimity of t'-eir mighty ruin—these, all these, Masonry
regards—surrounds with the bright hale of divinity, till man, toy of fortune,
child of sorrow—
" Pendulum betwixt a smile and a tear "—
kneels in humble submission to the will of the Supreme Grand Master; and
although Epimetheus is wedded to his bride, the box of Pandora opened, the
crime of the first born multiplied to infinity, and the earth, poor mother,
forced to drink the life's-blood of her own children, and weep rivers of purple
tears at the unholy sacrif<strong>ice</strong> ; forgetting every thought unkind, he turns
to his fellow man, hugs him to his bosom, and calls him brother !
1 hen let tho enemies of Masonry do their worst, Ut them curl the lip of
sarcasm, wag the head of derision, and point tho finger of scorn ; wherever
thtro is a haul open to the melting appeals of charity, a heart susceptible
to tho tender emotions of sympathy, a soul capable of appreciating man's
exalted destiny—there, whether in our own happy America, or in the less
favored portions of this vast globe—whether amidst the chilling snows of Siberia,
or the vine-clad hillsof beautiful France—whetheron the fertile banks
of the Nile, or in the scorching deserts of Arabia,—there, will the sound ef the
yavel be heard, and true and faithful craftsmen be found at work in tho
great quarry of FRIENDSHIP, MORALITY, and BROTHERLY LOVE.
Ay, let the ocean of opposition be lashed into tempest; let its billows roll
mountain high, and dash their maddening spray into the very face of
heaven ; tho rod of a Moses will divide tho waters, and, like the children of
Israel, we shall pass through dry-shod. Nay, let tbe winds of ^Eolus be invoked
; let the fires of persecution be kindled; let her furnace be seven times
heated ; like the Hebrews of old, we shall come forth fiom the flames, scathless
and harmless, for, eve: with us, is the God of our Fathers ! And, amidst
all, our beloved institution will remain nobly erect—
•• As some tall cliff that lifts it, awful form,
Sfff'I" from the vale, and midway le.ivos the storm,
Tho' round its breast the rolling clouds are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head !"
No—the progress of Masonry can never be stayed—its principles can never
die—will ever live; for they are indelibly engraven on the memory of tho
faithful, they grow in the hearts of the true, and shine forth in tbe lives of
the worthy. Nay, they are heard in the soft whisperings of the breeze, and
in the hoarse howlings of the hurricane; they are written by the lightning
on the cloud, and muttered in the deep reverberations of the thunder; they
glow in tho splendor of the sun-dazzling day, speak in the gloom of the
dark-jewelled night, are sung in the music of the ever-rolling spheres, and
emblazoned in characters of living light on the azure tablet of the heavens !
