Unworthy Conduct.

person ? You may have done so at Grand Lodge , or at some great ceremony , for although not a subscribing member to any Craft Lodge , our friend lias held ollice lately in Grand Lodge , and is very proud of the purple , ho exhibits a bland smile for every one , and somo confiding Brother will ponr the Masonic oil over las character and position , ancl ho retires to rest with an extraordinary idea of his own

importance , and rises in the morning ready to take a stray ordet from any initiate Brother who has been carried away by his grandiloquence the previous evening , and who may havo been told , as I was , that it was policy to give the W . Tronsurer an order as soon as possible after joining tho Lodge . This is no fiction , but is the well-known pantomime monthly

enacted at a Provincial Lodge . I trust this is an isolated case , but I am afraid it is not so ; however , every true Mason should denounce such unworthy conduct , and I think Grand Lodge should recommend that all Masonic monies be paid into a separate banking account in tho names of the Master and Trosnrcr of Lodge , and that the bank

pass book should be forthcoming whenever required by tho Finance Committee . I enclose you my name , address , and Lodge , but not for present publication , as I prefer giving tho Brother [ have referred to a warning ere I ask his sanctiou to the publication of our names . Yours fraternally ,
