The Canadian Difficulty.
vinced the majority of the brethren in the province of Ouebec , that such a state of Masonic affairs was wholly incompatible with the peace and welfare of our beloved fraternity . 3 rd . That although the condition of Masonic affairs in British North America has been carefully
and anxiously considered for a long period , yet no solution of the admitted difficultieshasbecn suggested or proposed , which has been at all satisfactory to the majority of the brethren in the province of Ouebec and elsewhere throughout the country , except the formation of an independent Grand
Lodge in each of the four provinces constituting the Dominion of Canada . For two years prior to the political changes which took place in 1867 , Grand Master Simpson , of the Grand Lodge of " Canada , " both at public and private Masonic gatherings in the cities of Toronto
and Montreal , and also m his address to Grand Lodge in July , 1866 , directed the attention of the Craft to the important political changes then anticipated , and their consequent effect upon the name , status , rights and jurisdiction of the " Grand Lodge of Canada , " at the same time favouring the notion
of endeavouring to extend the jurisdiction of the " Grand Lodge of Canada" over the whole of British North America ! ! His learned and able successor , who was also the first Grand Master of the " Grand Lodge of Canada , " M . W . Bro . W . M . Wilson , in his address to Grand Lodge in July 1 S 67 ,
a few weeks after the Queen's proclamation inaugurating the Dominion of Canada , directed especial attention to the then anomalous state of Masonic affairs , caused by the recent political changes that had taken place , and appointed a committee of seven to consider and report thereon to Grand
Lodge on the following day . Four members of this special committee from the province of Ontaria , ( viz : M . W . Bros . Wilson , Harrington , and Simpson , and R . W . Bro . Moffatt . ) reported in favour of maintaining the status in quo of Grand Lodge while waiting further developments , and the three
members of the committee from the province of Quebec , ( viz .: M . W . Bro . A . Bernard , R . W . Bro . A . A . Stevenson , and R . W . Bro . J . H . Graham ) , reported in favor ot the formation of an independent Grand Lodge in each of the four Provinces constituting the Dominion of Canada . That since that
time every effort has been made by the Grand Lodge of Canada to unite the different lodges in the Dominion , under their government but without success . The action of the lodges in Novia Scotia and New Brunswick , as is shown in the next section , has been decidedly against any such union ,
while the efforts of the Grand Lodge of Canada to invite the lodges working in the Province of Quebec , under lhe jurisdiction of the Grand Lodges of England and Scotland , have been equally unsuccessful . And although the present Grand Master of what is vet called the "Grand Lodgeof
Canada , stated in his address to Grand Lodge in July last , that he had been given to understand that a proposition to adhere lo the " Grand Lodge of Canada , would be favourably considered by those lodges in the Province of Quebec under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodges of England and
Scotland , yet when the three lodges . . two K . !' .. and one K . S . ) in lhe city of Quebec , were requested to meet the Committee appointed by the "Grand Lodge of Canada'' to consider ilie subject of amalgamation , not one member of either of these old and influential lodges accepted such invitation ; but on lite contrary , two of the three , by their duly
appointed delegates , co-operated 111 the formal ion of the Grand Lodge of Quebec , and have since : o !' 'mnly ratified the action of their representatives , and formally declared their allegiance- to the new Grand Lodge ; and the amalgamation movement was not more successful in the city of Montreal , than it had been in the citv of Ouebec .

reasons which induced the Freemasons in the Province of Ouebec to follow the example of all other parts of the Masonic world , by the formation of a Grand Lodge in the said Province , there may be mentioned the vast length of territory included in the two Provinces of Ontario and Ouebec ,
extending through some twelve degrees of longitude , from the State of Maine on the east , to the State of Michigan or Central Ohio on the west ;—the meetings of Grand Lodge itinerating over such vast distances , and causing an enormous and impoverishing expense to many of the lodges , especially those less
wealthy m the country parts , in sending delegates thereto ;—the impracticability very often , of carrying up appeals and the like before Grand Lodge except at a ruinous expenditure to many brethren of time and money , and hence cases oft postponed , or going by default ;—the impracticability on account of the
necessarily inherent dual conflicting Provincial interests and preferences , of securing permanently located offices for Grand Lodge and owned by it;—the utter impracticability of erecting any edifice for the use of G . L . in any locality which would be satisfactory to both Provinces ;—the like
impossibility of erecting a Masonic Asylum for which a large sum of money was raised and appropriated , and notwithstanding the "Asylum Trust , " have annually for a long time , urged the importance of further action by G . L ., have indicated localities , proposed plans , suggested " ways and
means , yet for the above-mentioned and other obvious reasons it hashithcrtobecn found impossible to take action thereon ; and the same has been true and under the double-majority regime , would continue to be true , in regard to a proposed Masonic Orphan School , Masonic Farm , and all other such
like schemes of practical Masonic benevolence ; any one of which seeming expedient and desirable , can , without doubt , be successfully carried out in each Province by their respective Grand Lodges . 6 th . And had the brethren of the Province of Quebec been willing for any longer period , to
continue in the same unsatisfactory position as for the past two years especially , there would always haxe existed the painful suspense arising from the ever-impending and ever-threatening probability than whenever they should sec fit , a constitutional and customarv number of lodges would
assemble and assert their inherent and traditionary rights by constituting themselves into a Supreme Grand Lodge for the said Province of Quebec . 7 th . After the entire failure of the Utopian Dominion scheme , and the consolidation and amalgamation scheme , the majority of the brethren
and lodges in the Province of Quebec , having the highest good of lhe Craft at heart , and believing that a sufficient length of time had been given to the consideration of the subject , aflcr the most anxious and careful deliberation , decided that they were fully justified in acting upon the only simple
and constitutional solution of our long-standing and complicated difficulties by the formation of one independent and Supreme Grand Lodge in and for the Province of Quebec ; and therefore , with a unanimity seldom paralleled in the formation of Grand Lodges , the Grand Lodge of Quebec has been formed in order thai the Craft in the Province
of Quebec in common with iheir brethren elsewhere throughout the Masonic world may secure -and enjoy all those inestimable blessings and privileges which necessarily ( low from that unity in Grand Lodge allegiance and jurisdiction which ought always to exist within the same territorial and political ¦ boundaries .
Wherefore , a constitutional and customary number of lodges in the Province of Quebec , regularly assembled and duly constituted in convention , deemed and held that they bad an undoubted legal and constitutional right to form a Supreme Grand Lodge in ami for the Province of Ouebec . not on ' v
in conformity to the afure-meiitioned usage and established custom , lr . it also in accordance with the well-recognised principle of Masonic jurisprudence , that more than one Grand Lodge cannot exist /';/ perpetuiim either be themselves or bv
