vinced the majority of the brethren in the province of Quebec , 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 theadmitteddifficulties has been suggested or proposed , which has been at all satisfactory to the majority of the brethren in the province of Quebec 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 1 S 67 , 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 in 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 1867 ,
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 of 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 the 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 Lodge of
Canada , " stated in his address to Grand Lodge in July last , that he had been given to understand that a proposition to adhere to 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 . E . and one K .

reasons which induced the Freemasons in the Province of Quebec 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 ,
extendmgthroughsome twelve degrees of longitude , from the State of Maine on the cast , 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 111 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 an ) - locality which would bc 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 hashithcrto been found impossible to take action thereon ; and the same has been true and under the double-majority regime , would continue to bc 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 ofthe brethren
and lodges in the Province of Quebec , having the highest good of the Craft a ! heart , and believing that a sufficient length of time had been given lo the consideration of the subject , after 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 their brethren elsewhere ihroughout the Masonic world may secure and enjoy till those inestimable blessings and privileges which necessarily flow from that unity in lintitd Lodge ullcgiti iter ttud' jurisd / elio / i which ought always 10 exist within the same territorial and political boundaries .
