A Masonic "Globe Trot."
A MASONIC "GLOBE TROT . "
IT is often regretted there is so little variation possible in the procedure of our Lodges , when no actual ceremonial work requires the attention of the Brethren . The Lectures on the different Tracing Boards afford the opportunity for the instructive passing of an occasional quiet evening , but for some reason or other these
particular parts of the ritual of the Craft have come to be regarded as suitable only for Lodges of Instruction , and whether it is that the ordinary Master or his predecessors in the chair are unable to give the recognised explanations , or whatever it may be , it seldom happens that the rehearsals take place in our regular Lodges . At different times individual Brethren have endeavoured to improve
the occasion , and instruct their fellows , by the delivery of lectures on subjects connected with the Craft , but the practice has not by any means become popular , although we are of opinion there is ample scope for careful study and energetic action in that direction .
A pleasing innovation and most instructive departure trom routine took place on the occasion of last week ' s meeting of the La Tolerance Lodge of Instruction , held at the Frascati , Oxford Street , on Wednesday , 26 th ult ., when Bro . Dr . Mordaunt Sigismund gave a lecture on " Masonry all over , the globe . " h the kindness
Those who peruse the lecture , of which , throug of Dr . Sig ismund , we are enabled to give a synopsis , will , we are sure , agree that members of the Craft arc very much indebted to that Brother for it . We do not remember having seen anypaper on the subject so interesting as this . Indeed , as we regard
Bro . Sigismund ' s travels and visits to Masonic Lodges as unique , we do not think any other Brother could have dealt so exhaustively with the subject , speaking from personal experiences , the most satisfactory of all in dealing with such a matter . Our thanks are due to the author , and we think our readers will fully appreciate what he has sent us for publication .
Our esteemed Brother said : '—Our Preceptor , Past Master I aui , did me the honour , in designating the brief sketch of Masonry Abroad which I proposed giving , as " Masonry all over the Globe . So—nolens volens—I must ask you , mv Brethren , to accompany me on a Masonic globe trot . We start as behoves a Mason , from east to west . I must inform you that Masonry is carried on under Three Grand Systems ,
