Initiation was rehearsed , Bro . Tnrley acting as candidate . The first and second sections of the Lecture were then worked by tho W . M ., assisted by the brethren . An interesting discussion arose from the following incident : A foreign Brother presented himself at the door of the Lodge and asked for relief . Instead of a certificate , which he alleged he had lost , he handed in a scrap of paper about fonr inches square ,
containing some recommendation . Under the circumstances it was thought nnadvisable to relieve him , noon which he demanded admission as a Brother Mason . Bro . Gottheil rnled that , inasmuch as the Brother had no certificate , and was not personally known to any one present , he could not be admitted . Thereupon Bro . Amor of the Great City Lodgo protested against the ruling , and said he had been
tanght that Masonry was free and open , and anyone seeking admission , provided he was capable of proving himself in a legal manner , should not be refused admission . Bro . Gottheil stated in reply that some time ago the Grand Master issued a command that visitors should not be admitted imto any Lodge without the production of a legal certificate , and that moreover it was entirely at the option of the presiding W . M .,
who , of course , as a matter of courtesy , would consult the wishes of the members , to grant or refuse admission to any one , even though he be a well-known member of the Craft . The Book of Constitutions was very explicit npon the point , it states that " no visitor shall be admitted to a Lodge nnless he be personally known , recommended , or well vouched for , after due examination , by one of the brethren
present . " Bro . Colmer said , if that was the law , what occasion was there for tho Grand Master to virtually abrogate it by issuing the edict Bro . Gottheil mentioned ? Bro . Rndderforth replied , ho thought it was done to place additional power in the hands of tho W . M . should a contingency arise to render its enforcement advantageous . Bros . Amor and Colmer expressed themselves so far satisfied , but
said they would pursue the enquiry further . Bro . Gottheil advised them to seek information npon the subject at the Grand Lodge Office . Bro . John Hervey , the Grand Secretary , would , he had no doubt , enlighten them npon the point , and decide whether he had stated the case correctlv . Bro . Amor apologised for having interrupted the
usual proceedings , but he thought the question one of importance , and thanked the brethren for tho kind and Masonio spirit in which the discussion had been carried on . Bro .
