Official Bulletin Supreme Grand Council 33° , Southern Juris Dic Tion, United States.

OFFICIAL BULLETIN SUPREME GRAND COUNCIL 3 3° , SOUTHERN JURIS DIC TION , UNITED STATES .

We have been favoured by Dr . A . G . Mackay 33 , with a copy of the Bulletin for June , 1873 , and have generall y been highly gratified with its contents . Its publication is a step in the ri ght direction , and cannot fail to be warml y appreciated by Masonic students under the Southern

Jurisdiction ( U . S . A . ) . It is carefully edited , and the aiticles generall y arc of an interesting character . The aim of the promoters , and able editor , is to alford the members of the Supreme Council p lenty of solid information respecting the history and character of the Craft , for which purpose

various articles appearing from time to time in Masonic periodicals are transferred to its pages ( not , however , without an acknowledgment ) , and many official documents are also printed . It is issued at intervals of not more than four months , and each number contains the latest

information m regard to the doings of Foreign Supreme Councils and Granel Orients , or lodges . It is not a vehicle for essays , discussions , or deputations ; but as respects domestic matters seeks to furnish the current information in regard

to Consistories and subordinate bodies , and such extracts from foreign bulletins and other publications , official and historical , as may be valuable and entertaining . The expense is borne b y the Supremo Council , and each number contains about ,, oo pages , costing about six shillings .

CONGRESS or ALL THE SUEREME GRAND Coi'Ncn . s . A copy of the circular convening a Congress of all the Supreme Grand Councils in the world , recognised and in treaty , is given in thc Bulletin , and we find that the date is fixed for the

second Monday of May , 1874 . If any considerable number shall agree to accept the Ti . '" , ' o" ! ,: < - » ''li ; ll , r tendered hv theS . G . C , Bro . Albeit Pike , ,,., -, - : % \ ann \\ receipt : ue . ^_ .. ;_ .. ^ s , to that ellect dining the year 1873 , g ive information to the various bodies concerned , and advise them that the Congress will be held .

Some , we lind , desire the Congress to beheld in Europe ; but as a first attempt , it might surely be tried in the country where it originated , and we feel quite certain that so far as the reception is concerned , the European Grantl Councils will

not complain ol their treatment b y the brethren at the City of Washington . During the month of May ; the Congress of the United States Will be in session , so that an additional treat will thus be allorded the various illustrious strangers expecteel to attend .

CK . W-T DEGREES V . AXCIUNT AMI iVutiri'TEii RITE . An important communication from the learned Bro . Albert Pik ., in which certain alterations in the rituals of the 28 and 30 are recommended , deserves careful consideration . The portions recommended to be substituted could not be

improved upon in any way as respects elegance of diction , and are especially noteworthy . The ' iirst reads thus : — " The Masonry of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite tloes not permit anyone to put forth in its behalf pretences to the possession of any mysterious and occult knowledge not within reach of the world at

large During all the ages , the mass oi mankind was , as if it were an instinct of human nature , sought to be governed by a single will , in tilings spiritt . td as well us hi things temporal , by a hierarchy and a monarch . The consequences have in all the ages been the despotism of tyrants and that of Pontiffs . " . . . ••

" But , also , initiation seems to be a necessity for the human soul ; and it is the purpose of Ereeniaseiury tu combat the instinctive tendency of men to submit blindl y to a single will , hy teaching the great doctrines ofthe Order—Liberty with loyal obedience to constitutional law i

Equalii )— -with that due subordination reqiiin- 'd b y the social oreler , and Fraternity or Brotherhood , with its duties as well as it affections—the rig '1 ' of the wise to instruct the unwise , as well as the duty of the strong to protect the weak , and th < - rich to assist the poor .
