The Approaching Elections Of The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution.
dature at the election in May , 1890 , and now has standing to her credit 332 votes ; No . 21 , who was a candidate in 1 S 93 and 1894 , and has 7 86 votes to the good ; and No . 35 , who , though she was in the list last year , obtained no votes whatever . There are four candidates from West Yorkshire : No . 28 , who failed to win any votes in 1 S 1 . 4 , and No . 30 , who obtained 49 S 8
votes , and Nos . 47 and 48 . both new candidates . Durham contributes three widows—No . 3 , who brings forward 33 votes from nine previous ballots ; No . 10 , who is about to make her eighth application , with 3746 votes already to her credit ; and a new candidate at No . 43 . Kent is responsible for Nos . 13 , 14 , and 13 , who have all been on the lists at six previous
elections , and will start on this occasion with 796 votes , 152 votes , and 3934 votes to their credit respectively ; and there are likewise three candidates from East Lancashire and Warwickshire , the former three being No . 3 , who is an applicant for the 12 th time , and brings forward 270 votes ; and Nos . 22 and 23 , who have made two previous attempts , and have , the former ,
13 , and the latter , 22 votes to their respective credits . The Warwickshire trio are : No . 33 . who brings forward 277 votes from 1894 , and No . 44 and 49 , new candidates . There are two widows from Cumberland , and Westmoreland , of whom No . 2 has 128 votes to the good towards her twelfth application , and No . 19 , who has 3 votes in hand towards her fourth . Staffordshire
sends two candidates , No . u with 73 votes towards her seventh application , and No . 32 , who polled 28 votes in 1894 . There are also two ' candidates from West Lancashire , namely , No . 34 , who starts with nine votes , and No . 40 , a new candidate . The rest are as follows : No . 7 , from Cornwall , with 8 9 votes to her credit towards her ninth attempt ; No . 9 , from Bristol , with 4
votes towards her eighth ; No . 20 , from Lincolnshire , with 13 votes brought forward from 181 ) 3 and 18 94 ; No . 24 , from Berkshire , with 15 \) Otes in hand from the same years ; No . 27 , from the Western Division of South Wales , with 5 votes to the good ; No . 36 , from Hampshire and the Isle of
Wight , with 342 votes to her credit ; and No . 3 8 ( Essex ) , No . 39 ( Norfolk ) , No . 41 ( North Wales ) , No . 42 ( Sussex ) , No . 46 ( N . and E . Yorkshire and Lincolnshire ) , and No . 30 , from the District of Madras and thc Province of Kent .
There is just one point to which we are desirous cf calling attention —namely the length of time that sundry of the candidates , and especially of the widows , have had their names on the lists . There are three brethren who , a fortnight hence , will be candidates for the thirteenth , twelfth , and eleventh times respectively ; while of the Widows , one has been before the
electors since 1881 , two since 18 S 4 , three since 1 S 86 , two since 1887 , and two since 1 S 8 S . As regards two of the three Male candidates , one , we are told , is " permanently paralysed , " and the second is" permanently incapacitated " through cardiac disease " from following any employment ; " while as to certain of the Widows , we read that one , who is in her Soth year , was left a
widow 15 years ago and " totally unprovided for . " Another , who has been a widow for 17 years , and was left without means , " gets her living by charing ; " while a third is in her 7 6 th year , and " afflicted with almost total blindness and is destitute . " It is terrible to think of the sufferings of these poor old people , and worse still , how they must have been sick at heart
through having their hopes of securing a small competency deferred through all these years , . May we not hope that among the many brethren who have not yet promised their votes and inlluence , there will be found some who will
come forward and assist in getting some of these elected at the approaching ballot and their names removed from the list after all these years of painful expectancy ? VVe trust that some will come forward and help to accomplish this good work .
The W.M. In The Chair.
THE W . M . IN THE CHAIR .
Probably no duties are more free from actual doubt than those relating to the W . M . ' s conduct in the chair . To a certain extent he reigns supreme , due respect to the Book of Constitutions being always understood . From time immemorial , however , certain of his duties have been defined and
handed down as immutable and sacred ; and we believe that the system is peculiar to Masonry as an institution , and we think the more such customs are adhered to the better . Some societies , and particularly such as have humanitarian objects in any shape , cannot be tinkered or modernised
without a danger of quite transforming their original character . 'I hose who have had a wide experience of lodge life will tell us that even the best regulated lodges are not always entirely free from the innovator , and that there are restless spirits abroad whosa vocation in life appears to be to reform , without many qualifications for the oilice .
However , the lodge . * procedure of a W . M . is nearly always based on what may be called his personal training in it , and in a great measure guided by adherence to customs legalised by long usage in such lodge ; still , certain rights and duties have always been clearly laid down in the Book of Constitutions .
And although it often happens that a Past Master becomes W . M . of a lodge iti which he has had but a short experience , he will in such case , if it be wise , accommodate his individual ideas to those held in the lodge rather than attempt to force them upon it .
It appears to us that the question raised b y a brother in our correspondence column , under the above heading , is a perfectly natural and legitimate one * . D . C . finds two methods of working in vogue . In onecase the W . M .
occupies the chair , whilst a P . M . conducts a ceremony ; in the other the P . M . conducts the : ceremony while occupying the W . M . ' s chair . Our biother ihinks a W . M . cannot " depute his place , " and naturally would like to know which is right .
The f . ict is , this is what one calls " thrashing a dead horse , " because no one can ay absolutely a W . M . ought to do this or that—hc muse stand in this or that place—this is right , or that is wrong—unless authorised by the Book < j ( Constitutions . On the other hand , the customs of a lodge : legalise
The W.M. In The Chair.
many minor matters , and therefore the W . M . of a lodge may define what is or is not ri ght therein provided the general Regulations of the Craft are in no way infringed . Consequently , while we regret that D . C . ' s query remains unanswered , the subject will be regarded pretty generally as one of those minor matters of ceremonial which ought to be left to a W . M . ' s judgment and we assume this to be the reason .
Bro . WARD LEY ' letter is evidently not intended as a reply . He merel j gives his opinion in a sensible Masonic manner , such as must always command respect among Masons . And we must acknowledge , although there is no written law that we know of on the subject , that we are strongly of his opinion as to which of the two methods is preferable , and for this reason :
We have seen both methods worked , and some 10 years ago we remember a discussion raised in a lodge on this very point by a visitor , who protested ( and of course wrongly ) that it was unconstitutional for the W . M . to vacate his chair while a P . M . conducted the ceremony of the Third Degree . Being appealed to on that occasion , the matter seemed simple
enough , and we were of tho same opinion then as to-day , that a VV . M . is perfectly justified in allowing his chair to be temporarily occupied by a P . M . during the conduct of a ceremony by the latter . This is really the point involved in D . C . 's query ; but as questions of this kind are nearly always discussed rather on personal than constitutional lines , we give the W . M . ' s
opinion on the particular occasion to which we have referred , somewhat toned down of course . He said : " I have nothing to do with the custom of other lodges in this respect—Bro . is not responsible to the Craft for my actions , and Grand Lodge seems to me the proper arena in which to air
newfangled theories . " "lam proud to acknowledge that in this matter I have but followed the example of a long roll of Masters , some of whom knew a great deal more of Masonry than either Bro . or lean ever know . My duty was sufficiently clear to me at my installation , " Sec , & c .
Of course there is no more doubt as to the right of a W . M . to vacate his chair in order to permit a P . M . to undertake some portion of the work , than there is about his acknowledged right to request the I . P . M . to occupy his chair during his temporary retirement from the lodge—an almost universal custom . Whoever wishes to be satisfied , however , need only read over 141 of the Book of Constitutions .
