Rotation In Office.
ROTATION IN OFFICE .
GRAND Master Hall took strong ground against the principle of "rotation in office , " which he termed a " despotic innovation" on the democratic principles of Masonry . " To say that because a Brother is elected Junior Warden
of a Lodge , or a Brother promoted to the Office of Senior Warden , he should be elected to the Office of Worshipful Master , though he may have no qualification for that Office , " argued the Grand Master , " is but to place a premium upon unfitness , conceit and arrogance , and to imply that the
Brethren who elevated either of them to the office of Junior or Senior Warden had no right to judge of their future fitness because of this established but unwarranted rule , ' rotation in Office . ' Many Brethren in the Lodges of West Virginia are thus elected to such positions under such circumstances who ,
after their installation , demonstrate their utter inability in every particular to be advanced to the exalted Office of Worshipful Master , not only that they are unlearned in the
ritual , but on account of their ignorance of Masonic law . Yet they are elected and installed into Office as Worshipful Masters , and sometimes to the Grand East , because they are good fellows , well met . "
The Grove Park ( Kent ) Lodge , No . 2824 is to be consecrated on Monday , at the Freemasons' Hall , London , by the Grand Secretary Bro . Letchworth . The ceremony is fixed for 4 . 30 p . m ., and will be followed by a banquet at 7 o ' clock .
