THE ROBERT BURNS CHAPTER OF INSTRUCTION IN ROYAL ARCH MASONRY . —On the 2 nd May this Chapter held its Anniversary Meeting at the Union Tavern , Marylebone-street , Piccadilly , and were to have worked tbe Arch Lectures in Sections , but owing to the illness , and
unavoidable absence of some of the members appointed to work th em , the intention was not fully carried out , but the third ancl fourth sectio ns only were worked by two Companions , who were called upon at the m oment , Companion Watson presiding as Z .

Z , it being until very lately the only Chapter of Instruction in constant work in London ; its utility was fully illustrated in the course of the evening by a Companion from " Yorkshire , who stated there had been , and was , much variance in the Arch workings in that county , but since some of the Companions had become acquainted with this Chapter of Instruction , they had adopted their working and endeavoured to persuade all to do so , to promote uniformity of ritual and
practice ; as they fully relied on a London Chapter of Instruction , ( from the connection of many of its members with the Grand Chapter ) , to possess the most orthodox and pure ritual and practice . This Chapter of Instruction we may safely state , numbers amongst its members many of those who are the most conversant with Arch Masonry in all its details . This Chapter also carries out that key-stone of Masonry " Benevolence , " by applying its funds to the Masonic Charities ; we can confidently recommend a visit to this Chapter to every Arch Mason , if he seeks to improve his own working , or to be is pleased with that of others .
