Grand Officers And Prov. Grand Officers.
Officers in their Province is equivalent to saying they possess privi . ledges to which they are not entitled nnder the Constitutions . The strongest argument I have seen in favour of the view to whioh I am opposed is , that Grand Officers being appointed by tho Grand Master take precedence of Provincial Grand Officers , who are ap . pointed by the Provincial Grand Master ; but even this does not
justify Grand Pursuivant in claiming precedence of a Provincial Grand Senior Warden , who is a Grand Senior Warden in his Province as well as a Grand Senior Warden of it . My contention is , thafc the sections quoted have the following meaning as to the status of Provincial Grand Officers . They " possess within their district the rank and privileges of Grand Officers , " but
not ont of it , neither do the offices they severally hold confer on them the right to sit in Grand Lodge . That is to say they are Grand Officers of England in the particular Province to which they belong , while the Officers of Grand Lodge are Grand Officers of England everywhere . This seems to be the necessary , and indeed , the only possible interpretation which the words of the section are capable of
bearing . When the framers of our Constitutions assigned to Provincial Grand Officers certain rank and privileges , they felt it to be necessary to define their extent ; and hence the sequent clause , " but they are not by snch appointment members of the Grand Lodge , nor do they take any rank out of their district . " They are not entitled to appear in Grand Lodge as Provincial Grand Officers , but
only as Masters , Wardens , and Past Masters of private Lodges , or , it may be , as Grand or Past Grand Officers of England . Had their been no such limit to the extent of snob privileges , they might [ and probably would have desired to sit in Grand Lodge by virtue of their Provincial rank . In fact , this srems to be the true and only
explanation by the meaning of the section . I will content myself with adding , that what I have said does not , as a matter of course , apply to the Provincial Grand Masters , who have their place assigned in the table of precedence contained in the Book of Constitutions .

A Rebuke To Masonic Sermonisers
A REBUKE TO MASONIC SERMONISERS
To the Editor of the FREEMASON s CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —Since I mailed my paper on Masonic Sermonising , I came across the following in an American paper : — * "In a forcible and admirable article Cardinal Gnibert , Archbishop of Paris , protests against the proselytising spirit displayed by some Catholics at the bed-side of Jews and Protestants in public hospitals ; he requests them to remember that : —
" If the conscience of the Catholic people has rights which must be respected , the conscience of Protestants , of Jews , and even of freethinking people have also their rights . " Now ! has not the Catholic Archbishop of Paris a higher and purer conception of right and justice , than our Masonic Protestant ser . monisers have ? Fraternally yours , JACOB NORTON . Boston , U . S ., 2 nd August 1881 .

Fletcher's Patent Gas Cooking And Heating Apparatus For Domestic Use
FLETCHER'S PATENT GAS COOKING AND HEATING APPARATUS FOR DOMESTIC USE
THERE is no doubt that great progress has been mado during the past few years in the manufacture of all kinds of apparat us f 0 » domestic use , and thero is equally no doubt that great benefit has re suited from a large proportion of these inventions , especiall y in the direction of cleanliness and the saving of labour . We have on former occasions drawn attention to certain oil stoves which we know from personal experience have been found to answer admirably the por .
poses for whioh they were intended . To thoso , however , who have their dwellings supplied with gas for illnmioating purposes , we cannot do better than recommend the Gas Cooking and Heatin » Apparatus manufactured by Thomas Fletcher , of Warrington . Mr . Fletcher has devoted mnch time , and all his abilities ' to the production of an apparatus which should be as economical as
it is serviceable , and the many testimonials we have read to the efficiency of his patent , and the smallness of the outlay it involves aw o ' inclasive as to his having achieved a very marked degree of success . Among the various patents are a ventilated Hot Air Oven a solid flame Bath Heater , an instantaneous Water Heater for Lavatory , or for Lavatory and Scullery , to hang against
a wall , Boiling Burners for large pans , and for general use , and Drawing-room and other Stoves . The cost varies nccording to size and quality , and as the various parts of the appara . tus may be purchased separately , the expense at no time presses too heavily on the customer . As showing how economical is Fletcher ' s cooking apparatus , a statement has been prepared , showing the
comparative cost of gas consumed during eight , consecutive days for cooking and illuminating pnrposes . The resnlt being , that while it cost 4 Jd per day for illumination , it only averaged about one ppnny per day for cooking . But the great feature about Mr . Fletcher ' s patent is the saving it effects in domestic labour , and the cleanliness with which it can be turned to account . Not only , for instance , is tie
additional cost of cooking as trifling as has been described , but one servant will be found enough , where two formerly were thought necessary , and the lady and daughters of the house will find it possible to take a more active part in their domestic duties . We are glad of this opportunity of saying these few words on behalf of Fletcher's patent .
Sir Knight Eobert Macoy , Eecorder of the Grand Commandery of New York , says the Keystone , is engaged in the preparation of a History of Templarisrn in New York , which he hopes to have ready by the next Annual Conclave , to be held at Poughkeepsie , in the month of October
