WE have for some time past had it in contemplation to devote some portion of our space to items of historic interest to the Craft . Even though in past times there was remarkable laxity on the part of Lodges in recording such noteworthy events as may have marked

their career , and though we are much in the dark as to the sayings and doings of our more distinguished brethren , there is yet a great deal which our readers will feel a pleasure in learning , if only snch enthusiasts as Bros . Hughan ,

a Lodge minute book which does not contain something instructive . Even a roll of members , dry as it may seem to be to the brethren whose ideas on the subject of Masonic working are limited , is very often suggestive of a good deal that cannot fail to excite a considerable amount of

interest . To the question , "What is there in a mere array of names ? it may be answered that a good deal depends on the point of view from which they are regarded . In the
