Jan . 8 . —Present—Comps . Burckhardt , Henderson , Crucefix . The proposed code was carefully examined and completed , all but a fair copy . A final meeting was declared for Tuesday , the 18 th inst . It may be observedthat the Royal Arch not being a fourth degree
, , but only a perfection of the third , the laws should be as analogous as possible in their constitution and force ; and it would have proved more obviously convenient and effective , if the recent compilation of the Craft Laws and the Laws of the Royal Arch had come out simultaneously , and that the two committees had co-operated ; thus each could so have provided , as to make a perfect unity , instead of two codes that are in many points disjunctive and inconclusive .
The new regulations of the Royal Arch provide for things not dreamt of by the lower grade of the degree , while the lower grade compasses more important matters than it would seem to be necessary to the higher .
