TO THE EDITOR .
SIR , —Your having already not only sustained , but repelled with admirable courage , the attack made on your columns by an officer of greater distinction than experience , and made clear to your companions in the Order , that you possess the power to remedy abuses by exposing them , no matter the quarter whence they emanate ; I venture therefore now to suggest , as the difficulty of obtaining Royal Arch certificates , although somewhat lessenedstill exists in no inconsiderable degreea remed
, , y for the evil , as simple as efficacious . It is merely to regulate the certificate by the same standard as that in Craft Masonry , and all difficulty , delay and disappointment , will vanish . There may be some Companions anxious to possess the autographs of the three Grand Principals ; but I see no justifiable reason why , to oblige the few thus desirous , we should inflict on a whole community the multifarious evils that unnecessary delay occasions . For le :
examp the M . E . Z . may not be approachable ; the Fro-Z . may be at his country seat : the G . H . may not be in town ; the G . J . may be abroad , or indisposed , or any other reasonable excuse may be urged ; whereas the Scribe E . ( and I would not think it indispensible to affix also the Siamese autograph of scribe N ., who may have other important duties to perform abroad or at home ) , might be empowered to sign his name ' as an attestation ; and lest this important duty miht increase his labour
g to the detriment of his health ( for I wish to be considered a member of the Humane Society ) , I would even allow the Grand Registrar to be the custos of a registration stamp , containing the name of Grand Scribe E . I have no fea : whatever of any " exchequer " delinquency . Your old friend and companion , EZRA .
