There are some who consider our desire to see new Grand Lodges formed in the colonies and elsewhere —with the accompanying secession of Lodges and hrethren from the narent Grand Lodce—is hnrrllv

, consistent with our oft expressed wish that English Freemasonry may extend and prosper throughout the territory under the rule of our United Grand Lodge , hut the two sentiments are easily reconcilable . The

loss of a number of Lodges through the establishment of an independent head may reduce the quantity of subordinates for the home authority , but it points to improvement and advancement for

without these there would have been no desire for independence , nor any chance of securing it , besides which , as we argue in our first article , it is not always desirable to have the ruling power at too

fc ^ eat a distance . Masonic independence for every colony and separate locality must come some day , and , provided that due care is used in conceding it , we see no reason to lament the transference of Lodges and brethren from the English Constitution to that of an independent body .

We refer in ouv leading article this week to the desire of the Mark Masons of the Punjab to secure an independent District Grand Lodge for themselves , and in another column givo an extract from the oouth African Freemason from which we learn that

Ar00905

the Masons of that - district are moving in the direction of independence . We wish our brethren in both localities every success . As they seem to be actuated by thc best of motives , and express

willingness to act in legitimate and constitutional manner , there should be no difficulty in the way of their securing what they desire . The points raised by our contemporary , in the article we quote , call for careful consideration .

Freemasonry is the same all the world over , but it differs in its application . We have often questioned the desirability of arranging that the chief Masonic events of the year connected with several Lodges are

crowded into one day m some of the far off centres of Masonry , just as they were at Capetown on St . John ' s Day , as recorded elsewhere , and just as they are in Scotland year by year . The reason is to be found in

the Masonic desire to celebrate tne day set apart to the memory of St . John , but we think another Masonic injunction , to promote fraternal visits between different Lodges , is of at least equal moment , even if

not of greater importance , and as it is next to impossible to properly practice the one if we strictly adhere to the other—on the principle that a brother cannot be in two places at once—we think a change might

profitably be attempted wnerever tne custom prevails . We have often been favoured with duplicate , triplicate , and even quadruple invitations for the same day , and know the difficulty of deciding which to accept

The leaders ol Masonry m such towns as we refer to must also find a difficulty in deciding who to visit and who to refuse , and must often give offence through no fault of their own . Why then continue a system which seems to us really opposed to the Masonic creed ?

From the report given elsewhere it is easy to infer that the consecration meeting of the Longsight Lodge , which took place last week , was in every way a success . This is not to be wondered at when we see the

names ol the founders , bear m mmd the ability of those who took the lead in the first meeting of the Lodge , ancl remember the spirit which actuates the general body of Manchester Craftsmen . We

congratulate Col . Starkie on the continued prosperity of his Province , and hope this last addition to his Lodges may prove among the most successful of those under his rule .

In the reports ot the meetings of the Grand Lodge of Scotland which have come under our notice no mention is made of the reception of the motion to which we referred last week in regard to the

publication of certain " Notes for Freemasons , " but we hope at a later date to know how far our brethren across the border endorsed . the views of the objector who brought the matter under the notice of the Grand Lodge of Scotland . . ,

The United Grand Lodge of New South Wales seems to be anxious to provide work for its members , of a character not wholly Masonic ; for although Freemasonry should exclude notorious bad characters and

law breakers , we do not think it is any part of its duty to investigate or take the initiative in regard to offences other than thoso against the laws and regulations of the Craft . It can be no advantage to

Freemasonry to make it a general law court , and we therefore consider our colonial brethren have erred in confirming the following decisions of their Board of General Purposes :

( 1 ) . That a brothor considering ho has boon injured by a brother not a member of hia own Lodge , may apply to that brother ' s Lndgo to bavo the case investigated , ancl that it H within tha power of tho W . M . of that Lodge to entertain tho charge thua made , and order au investigation . ( 2 ) . That seduction , boing auull'jueo against morality , ia conaeiiuoutly u Mauouiuolfoiice .
