rTlHE following letter has appeared in the " Liverpool Daily JL Post : " To THE EDITOB . SIR , —On the 22 nd November a letter appeared in your paper respecting Freemasonry and the appointment of a successor to the late Provincial Grand Master , the Right Hon . the Earl of Lathom , G . O . B ., & c The letter stated that there are forty-five Lodges in this city , and that in the whole
Province there are 121 Lodges . The Province extends from Swinton , near Manchester , to Ooniston , in North Lancashire , and the number of members are so great that scarcely a room large enough to hold them can be found . If , therefore , for these and other good reasons , the Masons of North Lancashire wish to sever themselves from those of the South , and if the members of the Liverpool Lodges choose to petition his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales , the Grand Master of the Order , to make Liverpool a Province , who would he so silly as to say they cannot and must not do
so ? Now , sir , it appears to me that undue haste has been made in the matter of appointing the present Earl of Lathom to succeed his noble father , and because the late Earl was beloved by all the members of his Province , that does not say that his son can possibly expect to receive the same homage , and I contend that undue haste has been made in making the appointment , and that the members have had no time given them since the death of the late Provincial Grand Master to ascertain the desirability of making a change of any kind .
A circular has , I understand , been sent out by a North Lancashire member , and another counterblast from a South Lancashire member , followed by still another one from the Provincial Grand Secretary . In addition to these circulars , there has also been a meeting of the present members of the Provincial Grand Lodge , whioh I am given to understand was rather a warm meeting . I cannot see why the meeting was restricted to present members only , and why the Brethren should be denied the right or the opportunity of
expressing their wishes as to whether they desire to establish separate Provincial Grand Lodges for the North , for the South , and for the city of Liverpool . According to the Book of Constitutions of the Order , it was never contemplated that a Province should be of such magnitude as that of West Lancashire , and which now numbers 121 Lodges and 8 , 000 members . The Book of Constitutions says that should a Province attain to forty Lodges they may ask for an additional number of collars for Provincial Grand Lodge
Offices . This seems to me to be a very strong reason why the Province should be divided , as eighty or ninety Past Masters every year cannot possibly get the smallest chance of gaining that much-coveted honour—viz ., that of being a member of Provincial Grand Lodge . In conclusion , I would advise that a free and fair discussion should take place on the subject , and that the executive be very careful and don't try to ride the high horse unduly , or they may find themselves in more trouble than they could possibly desire ,
Yours , & o ., A PAST MASTBB 29 th December 1898 .
The Royal Masonic Institution for Girls has adopted " Girlands London " as its office telegraphic address . o o o By the death of the Duke of Northumberland his son
Karl Percy , who was Provincial Grand Master of the northern county from 186 9 to 1886 , succeeds to the title . We wish our distinguished Brother long life to enjoy his high honours .
The-Jubilee Masonic Festival and Ball to be held at Liverpool on the 18 th inst . gives every promise of being a great success . At the meeting of the General Committee
recently held , the Secretary Bro . A . Shawfield reported that he had received nominations for 112 Patrons and over 100 Stewards .
