The Grand Mastership Of Canada.

THE GRAND MASTERSHIP OF CANADA .

Bro . John Ross Robertson refused to allow his name to be put in nomination for a third term as Grand Master of the Ontario Masons , and so put an end to a movement svhich svas gathering great force . Bro . Robertson is deservedly popular among his brethren of the Craft . He has given them two years of splendid

service ; his addresses have been forcible and eloquent , and he has displayed great executive ability and a liberality which may with little exaggeration be described as princely . It svas , perhaps , too much to expect him to take up the cares and burdens of the office for a third time , and the Masons have certainly chosen a svorthy successor . Politicians of all classes

unite in praising the high character , the splendid abilities , the tact and good judgement of the Hon . John M . Gibson , Provincial Secretary of Ontario . He is one of the best members of the best Administration that has ever existed in Canada , and the qualities

which have made him a good legislator and a good executive officer are sure to serve him well in his new office . We congratulate the Masons on their wise choice , and we congratulate Mr . Gibson on his new honour which his countrymen have conferred upon him . —The Globe , Toronto . 4

FREEMASONS AND TIIE ANGLICAN CHURCH . At the meeting of Synod of the Diocese of Newcastle , New South Wales , held recently , a discussion took place svith reference to Freemasonry . It originated through one of the members directing attention to the proposed arrangements for laying the foundation-stone of the nesv Anglican Cathedral in the Diocese with full

Masonic honours—arrangements , he said , which made the Church service subsidiary to the Masonic Order , and against which the member protested . Dean SELWYN explained that the same mode as was nosv proposed was adopted in laying the foundation stone of the Adelaide Cathedral , and also stated that a similar ceremony had been carried out at Truro

Cathedral by the Prince of Wales , and had been a success in every way . It was , he said , a great assistance to have the aid of such a God-fearing , upright , and honourable body of men as the Masons on such an occasion as this . The Rev . S . SIMM supported the viesvs of Dean Selwyn .

The Rev . S . C . J . GRIME pointed out that the ceremony opened with the usual Church service , and this svas continued up to a certain point . Then the Masonic service began , and was carried on to the end of tho ceremony . Archdeacon WHITE at first protested against the adoption of the Masonic service , but afterwards viewed

it in a different light . Sir J . P . AUBOTT said that English Masonry svould not recognise French Masonry , because the latter body did not recognise the Creator , as the English Masons did . He saw a great difficulty in his Excellency the Governor performing the ceremony of laying a foundation-stone unless as head of the Masons in the Colony .

He was to perform there not as Governor of the colony , but as the Grand Master of the Order in New South Wales . The Rev . F . M . SWINULEHURST pointed out that in the mediieval ages it was customary for Masons to lay the foundation-stones of all cathedrals and other ecclesiastical buildings . He was in favour of the

Masonic service . Bishop STANTON said he believed that the Masons were a svorthy body of men , and it seemed not at all inappropriate to invite them to assist at the ceremony . He said that he had communicated svith the Bishop of Adelaide , svho had sent him a copy of the Masonic service used at the laying of the foundation-stone of

the Adelaide Cathedral The Bishop of Adelaide was a man whom he svould be always glad to follosv . The prominent parts of the service would be taken by the Primate of Australasia and the Bishop of Bathurst . The Church of England would have its full share of the service , and the Masons would also have their legitimate share , in accordance with past ecclesiastical

history . The presence of the Masons svould be of interest to the whole community of Newcastle . He felt that he , as Bishop of Newcastle , would be in his proper place in the service , although not a Mason . He believed that svhen the service was over the members of the Synod would feel that they had done the right thing in inviting the Masons to be present . The matter then dropped . —Observer . ¦
