The Royal Arch In America. (No. 2).

THE ROYAL ARCH IN AMERICA . ( NO . 2 ) .

\ V . J . HUGHAN . I have been much interested in reading ihe account of tlie celebration of the quarter century of thc Royal Arch Chapter at Chelsea ( Mass . ) , a copy of which was kindly sent me by thc R . W . Bro . Checver , the Grand Secretary . The article on the pamphlet by Bro . T . B . Whytehead , in the Freemason of March 26 th , 1 S 81 , has interested me still more , as it purports lobe an

examination of the oration by R . W . Bro . Woodbury , about whicii I intended saying a few words . As Bro . Whytehead well puts it , " It is a common error of asserting that the Lodge at York was in its earliest days a Grand Lodge . " It ivas not . The explanation offered by Bro . Whytehead as to the "Alhelstonc Legend " must be a satisfactory one lo all who have examined ye Old

Charges ,, and it is quite evident that if thc position of York Masonically depended upon its antiquity as a Graud Lodge , it would be nowhere , comparatively speaking . Its importance , however , as thc city of the annual assemblies of centuries ago , according to the " Old Charges , " is so clearly sustained by these venerable documents generally , that its friends would do well to rest contented wilh lhat claim , and cease thc " lall talk" about ils

connection with a Grand Lodge existing from " time immemorial . " We may be quite certain that if any evidence of the latter had been in existence it would have been discovered by Bros . Woodford and Shaw on their visit to that city as Masonic students in 1864 , or by Bro . Findel and myself , when the records were so freely ancl kindly offered for perusal .

The hints by " Masonic Student " as to " Masonic History and Historians " should be carefully noted by our too credulous brethren , and I hope the publication of this timely warning will prove most useful to that class . As a rule , there is but little need to advise " care and reverence " in dealing with the history of the Masonic Society .

The fault has not been a needless handling and exposure of the follies of our historians , but in a readiness to accept anything which they say relative to the great antiquity of certain Degrees , customs , and traditions , though possessing , in reality , but an existence of "yesterday . " Bro . Whytehead , however , has made an error or two in his examination of Bro . Woodbury ' s oration , which he will thank me for correcting , and , as they are evidently

mere " slips of the pen , " doubtless due to a hasty compilation of the article , I feel quite certain he would , if time permitted , be one of the first to notice them , as having alread y written on the subject of Freemasonry at York , both accurately and appreciatively . Bro . Whytehead says " The lodge at York was nothing more than a lodge until 17 61 ; " also , that in none ol the documents older than 1761 "is the

word Grand used al all , " and that thc roll alluded to by Bro . Woodbury " does not in a single instance speak of a Grand Lodge . " I must support Bro . Woodbury , and oppose my friend Bro . Whytehead , as to these statements generally . I know that my friend Bro . Whytehead , and a few others like him , are as willing to be opposed as supported'if they deserve it , or if factswarrant thc opposition , and so , without more ado , 1 will commence thc corrections .

1 . That the lodge at York was more than a lodge before 1761 , or at all events , that it claimed lo be a Grand Lodge , is clearly established by thc title page of the speech by the Junior Grand Warden ( Bro . Drake ) , which is declared to have been "deliver'd to the Worshipful and Antient Society of Free and Accepted Masons at a Grand Lodge held at Merchant ' s Hall , in the City of York , on St . John ' s Day , December 27 th , 1726 " ( vide Hughan ' s

"Masonic Sketches and Reprints , " with 2 nd edit , of speech , 1734 , reproduced ) . 2 . Also in the roll referred to by Bro . Woodbury , of 1712 , Ike ., endorsed " 1712 to 1730 , " the word Grand docs occur at date as follows , " This day , Dec . 27 , 1725 , being the Festival of St . John the Evangelist , the Society went in Procession to Merchant ' s Hall , where , after thc Grand Feast was

over , they unanimously chose thc Worship ! . Charles Bathurst , Ksqre , their Grand Master ; Air . Johnson , his Deputy ; Mr . Pawson and Mr . Drake , Wardens ; Air . Scourfield , Treasurer ; and John Russell , Clerk for the ensuing year . " ( Extracted from the Roll . ) This appears to be the first meeting as a Grand Lodge . The word Grand also occurs in oilier minutes

of July Gth , 1726 , and June 24 th , 1729 . 3 . I do not find the words "Grand Lodge" in the Roll , but " Grand Master and Lodge ; " they occur , however , in Bro . Drake ' s speech ( title page ) , and so it may be fairly claimed for A . D . 1725-6 , especiall y as the prehx Grand is applied to the Master , Wardens , & c . ll is clear to my mind lhat the Grand Lodge at York was formed in 172-5 from " ye Olde Loge . "

The Provinces And The Charities.

THE PROVINCES AND THE CHARITIES .

"A PAST AIASTER" sends tis his usual tables shewing the position of the several Provinces at the end of 18 S 0 in respect of their contributions to the Girls' and Boys' Schools . The tables are made upon the same plan as in former years , the four columns following the name of the province shewing : 1 . 'The number ol

lodges in the province . 2 . Thc number of life voles possessed by individual lodges , & c , within the province . 3 . The average number of voles pet lodge as shewn b y tlie former figures . The fourth column is introduced for the first time , and gives the number of children from the province now in

the School . The numbers following thc name of the province refer to the position held last year in the tables published in the Freemason of the 1 st and Sth of May . The provinces arc numbered in order of merit , tlio = c equal being so numbered . Fractions of i arc estimated as ' ,-.

The first table gives the returns for the Girls' School ; tlie second lor ihe Boys' School ; whilst tlie third gives the two former added together , which affords a fairer estimate , as some provinces concentrate their support almost

exclusively on one Charily . Unfortunately , the Benevolent Institution cannot be included , the inconvenient practice of placing all subscribers in one al p habetical list being still retained .

The Provinces And The Charities.

Tho tables have been prepared with great care , but in so many figures there may be errors , and our correspondent will be pleased to correct any that ma } ' be pointed out . GIRLS' SCHOOL .

The Royal Arch In America. (No. 2).

THE ROYAL ARCH IN AMERICA . ( NO . 2 ) .

\ V . J . HUGHAN . I have been much interested in reading ihe account of tlie celebration of the quarter century of thc Royal Arch Chapter at Chelsea ( Mass . ) , a copy of which was kindly sent me by thc R . W . Bro . Checver , the Grand Secretary . The article on the pamphlet by Bro . T . B . Whytehead , in the Freemason of March 26 th , 1 S 81 , has interested me still more , as it purports lobe an

examination of the oration by R . W . Bro . Woodbury , about whicii I intended saying a few words . As Bro . Whytehead well puts it , " It is a common error of asserting that the Lodge at York was in its earliest days a Grand Lodge . " It ivas not . The explanation offered by Bro . Whytehead as to the "Alhelstonc Legend " must be a satisfactory one lo all who have examined ye Old

Charges ,, and it is quite evident that if thc position of York Masonically depended upon its antiquity as a Graud Lodge , it would be nowhere , comparatively speaking . Its importance , however , as thc city of the annual assemblies of centuries ago , according to the " Old Charges , " is so clearly sustained by these venerable documents generally , that its friends would do well to rest contented wilh lhat claim , and cease thc " lall talk" about ils

connection with a Grand Lodge existing from " time immemorial . " We may be quite certain that if any evidence of the latter had been in existence it would have been discovered by Bros . Woodford and Shaw on their visit to that city as Masonic students in 1864 , or by Bro . Findel and myself , when the records were so freely ancl kindly offered for perusal .

The hints by " Masonic Student " as to " Masonic History and Historians " should be carefully noted by our too credulous brethren , and I hope the publication of this timely warning will prove most useful to that class . As a rule , there is but little need to advise " care and reverence " in dealing with the history of the Masonic Society .

The fault has not been a needless handling and exposure of the follies of our historians , but in a readiness to accept anything which they say relative to the great antiquity of certain Degrees , customs , and traditions , though possessing , in reality , but an existence of "yesterday . " Bro . Whytehead , however , has made an error or two in his examination of Bro . Woodbury ' s oration , which he will thank me for correcting , and , as they are evidently

mere " slips of the pen , " doubtless due to a hasty compilation of the article , I feel quite certain he would , if time permitted , be one of the first to notice them , as having alread y written on the subject of Freemasonry at York , both accurately and appreciatively . Bro . Whytehead says " The lodge at York was nothing more than a lodge until 17 61 ; " also , that in none ol the documents older than 1761 "is the

word Grand used al all , " and that thc roll alluded to by Bro . Woodbury " does not in a single instance speak of a Grand Lodge . " I must support Bro . Woodbury , and oppose my friend Bro . Whytehead , as to these statements generally . I know that my friend Bro . Whytehead , and a few others like him , are as willing to be opposed as supported'if they deserve it , or if factswarrant thc opposition , and so , without more ado , 1 will commence thc corrections .

1 . That the lodge at York was more than a lodge before 1761 , or at all events , that it claimed lo be a Grand Lodge , is clearly established by thc title page of the speech by the Junior Grand Warden ( Bro . Drake ) , which is declared to have been "deliver'd to the Worshipful and Antient Society of Free and Accepted Masons at a Grand Lodge held at Merchant ' s Hall , in the City of York , on St . John ' s Day , December 27 th , 1726 " ( vide Hughan ' s

"Masonic Sketches and Reprints , " with 2 nd edit , of speech , 1734 , reproduced ) . 2 . Also in the roll referred to by Bro . Woodbury , of 1712 , Ike ., endorsed " 1712 to 1730 , " the word Grand docs occur at date as follows , " This day , Dec . 27 , 1725 , being the Festival of St . John the Evangelist , the Society went in Procession to Merchant ' s Hall , where , after thc Grand Feast was

over , they unanimously chose thc Worship ! . Charles Bathurst , Ksqre , their Grand Master ; Air . Johnson , his Deputy ; Mr . Pawson and Mr . Drake , Wardens ; Air . Scourfield , Treasurer ; and John Russell , Clerk for the ensuing year . " ( Extracted from the Roll . ) This appears to be the first meeting as a Grand Lodge . The word Grand also occurs in oilier minutes

of July Gth , 1726 , and June 24 th , 1729 . 3 . I do not find the words "Grand Lodge" in the Roll , but " Grand Master and Lodge ; " they occur , however , in Bro . Drake ' s speech ( title page ) , and so it may be fairly claimed for A . D . 1725-6 , especiall y as the prehx Grand is applied to the Master , Wardens , & c . ll is clear to my mind lhat the Grand Lodge at York was formed in 172-5 from " ye Olde Loge . "

The Provinces And The Charities.

THE PROVINCES AND THE CHARITIES .

"A PAST AIASTER" sends tis his usual tables shewing the position of the several Provinces at the end of 18 S 0 in respect of their contributions to the Girls' and Boys' Schools . The tables are made upon the same plan as in former years , the four columns following the name of the province shewing : 1 . 'The number ol

lodges in the province . 2 . Thc number of life voles possessed by individual lodges , & c , within the province . 3 . The average number of voles pet lodge as shewn b y tlie former figures . The fourth column is introduced for the first time , and gives the number of children from the province now in

the School . The numbers following thc name of the province refer to the position held last year in the tables published in the Freemason of the 1 st and Sth of May . The provinces arc numbered in order of merit , tlio = c equal being so numbered . Fractions of i arc estimated as ' ,-.

The first table gives the returns for the Girls' School ; tlie second lor ihe Boys' School ; whilst tlie third gives the two former added together , which affords a fairer estimate , as some provinces concentrate their support almost

exclusively on one Charily . Unfortunately , the Benevolent Institution cannot be included , the inconvenient practice of placing all subscribers in one al p habetical list being still retained .

The Provinces And The Charities.

Tho tables have been prepared with great care , but in so many figures there may be errors , and our correspondent will be pleased to correct any that ma } ' be pointed out . GIRLS' SCHOOL .
