GRAND LODGE OF NEW MEXICO .

„_^ JUL l c 5 1

THE Proceedings of the eighth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of the Territory of New Mexico , held under the banner of tho Chapman Lodge , in the City „ of Las Vegas , has just been issued , and from it we

observe that the representatives of a large number of Lodges met under the presidency of the M . W . Grand Master Bro . Cornelius Bennett , who was supported by

Bros . Max Frost Deputy G . M ., Jas . T . McNamara G . S . W ., A . MoK . Whitcombe G . J . W ., S . R . Biggs as G . Treas ., A . E . Keene G . Sec , Rev . J . D . Busch G , Chaplain , J . Corbett G . S . D ., C . N \ Blackwell G . J . D ., Dr . W . S . Harroun G . Marshal , J . S . Elston and C . F Allen G . Stewards , W . T . Treverton G . Tyler , and others

Grand Lodge having been opened in ample form , and a Committee of Credentials appointed , the brethren were called to refreshment . At the afternoon session of the first day , the Committee on Credentials reported the

names of P . G . Officers , Officers of Lodges , Past Officers of Lodges , and Grand representatives who were entitled to seats in the Grand Lodge . The Grand Master , in the course of a lengthy and eloquent address , observed that

builders . There were three things which he deemed of great importance to the welfare of the Fraternity , and to which he specially invited their attention , viz . ( 1 ) , the careful and judicious selection of materials , in which

matter it was his experience that they were not too careful . He added— " Committees of Investigation too often recommend a petitioner without due consideration , and thus unfit stones , those of which perfect ashlars can never

be made , are placed in the walls of the Temple , only serving to mar its beauty and weaken its solidity . Too often the three great pillars are overtaxed to support and uphold it . " ( 2 ) . Examination of Visitors—remarking that impostors were often admitted within the sacred homes of the Craft through the lax and careless examination of
