_ The way in which Bro . Lamonby ' s proposition was disposed of in Grand Lodge on Wednesday has called forth considerable comment . The acting Grand Master ruled the proposer out of order , because his motion was given in absolutely at the eleventh hour , that is to say , Bro . Lamonby preferred to hand ;

Ar00900

it to the General Committee which has to consider the business to be brought under the consideration of Grand Lodge , instead of adopting the alternative suggested by the Book of Constitutions , but not made compulsory , of giving previous notice to the Grand Secretary . ' It has already been reported that Brother Lamonby said he had an object in giving the notice in an unusual way , and he should not seriously

complain now that he also has been treated in an unusual manner—his own weapons have , in fact , been used

against him .

We are of opinion that Bvo . Lamonby was very ill advised when he was persuaded to depart from the custom of the past , and the result of his manoeuvre must have convinced him that even the unwritten

law of Freemasonry is a power to be reckoned with by those who seek to redress grievances by unusual or undignified proceeding .

It is quite unnecessary for our present purpose to argue as to the merit or otherwise of the actual question which has thus been deprived of fuller

consideration , because we look upon the ruling itseli as being of far more importance than the business it relates to , and in discussing such questions it is best to deprive them of any side issues or influences that

may surround them and perhaps interfere with trie main point of the subject . In this case it is a question as to whether a custom that has been

found to work exceedingly well in the past should be departed from and a new line of procedure inaugurated merely to satisfy the whim or caprice of an individual . If it could be shown that the old

way of conducting the affairs of Grand Lodge were at fault , and that the roundabout method of submitting notices of motion had signally failed , then

there would be some excuse tor the departure made in this case , but we believe it was merely a supposition that led the proposer to go out of the ordinary wav . and we are not aware that he was even nronared ¦

* —J 7 " -L A to produce a single piece of evidence in support of his contention that he was justified in giving the notice Avithout first submitting it to the Grand Secretary .

The whole proceeding seemed to be rather an effort to upset existing ideas than anything else , although there were rumours in Grand Lodge that Bro .

Lamonby expected his motion would be " burked — we use the word as it was so popular on Wednesday —if it had been submitted to the Board of Masters in the usual way . But why that idea should prevail without some data as to previous " burkings " being

ready at hand we cannot imagine , and so far as we can ascertain no serious attempt was made to justify the charge of unfairness which such a thought seems to convey .

Wo cannot sec any advantage m upsetting the traditions of the past in the way that was contemplated in this case , and we cannot say we are particularly sorry that the attempt has so signally failed . We

are also of opinion that the idea that even an unsavourary proposition would probably be " burked " by the Board of Masters is wholly uncalled for . We have had a long experience , and never yet heard a complaint under that head .

As Freemasons we do not like to boast too much ol what it is possible for the Order to accomplish , and wo should really be ashamed to claim even a tithe ol the power ascribed to it by the fanatics of the liomish

Church . In another column wo extract an article from the Kxmoutli Journal , which deals with a sermon given by the Bev . Luke Ilivingfcon , who , among other matters , is reported to have said it was
