Review Of G. M. Gardner's Address On Henry Price.

from 1733 to December 1751 ; to each member ' s initiation , is annexed a date . I have no doubt that he compiled the said list from inquiry ofthe then acting members , in order to incorporate the said list into a record which he was

contemplating to get up for the Lodge , similar to the Record which he made for the Grand Lodge . I have no doubt that some of the dates are incorrect , but nevertheless , it is the onl y indication I

can judge by . Now , according to that list , it appears , that no initiation took place between September 12 th and November 9 th , 1733 , and as the Lodge met twice a month , and as it then

conferred but two degrees , and as the conferring of those degrees did not take up half the time to what they do now , I can therefore see no reason why the Lodge should have held special meetings

for the adoption of the said bye-laws . Hence we may conclude , that . previous to 17 . 53 , the Lodge kept no record that the bye-laws , were not adopted until October and November 17 , 53 ,

md that Bro . Moore altered the date from 17 53 to 1733 . It is further my opinion , that Bro . Moore is still in possession of the said Record book , and it is in his power to prove , or disprove , my

theory . In conclusion , I must point out that if the best Masonic scholar and most patient and indefatigable searcher of the Grand Lodge of

Massachusetts , after two years diligent inquiry and investigation , could not meet the question fairly and squarely , but had to resort to the lawyer ' s inuendoes of exaggerating this , of ignoring that ,

of proving what no one wanted proved , and of bringing forward a witness whose veracity he himself doubted . However much we may admire his pluck in undertaking to lead the forlorn hope ,

however much we may feel amused at the ingenious method with which he handled the question , yet , it cannot be denied , that in the hundred aud four pages of his pamphlet . Bro .

Gardner has not attempted to disprove a solitary fact which I made known over two years ago , nor has he added a solitary fact relevant to the question at issue . Now if Bro . Gardner failed

in establishing the claims of Henry Price , I think that it is hi gh time that Henry Price should be given up as a hopeless case . Henry Price was

neither appointed G . M . in England , nor Major in Boston , but was a mere pretender to both of these titles .

"A VISIT TO EFI ' ' S COCOA MANUIACTOH ) -. —Through the kindness of Messrs . Kpps , I recently had an opportunity of seeing the many complicated and varied processes the Cocoa bean passes through ere it is sold for public use , and being both interested and highly pleased with what

I saw during my visit to the manufactory , f thought a brief account of the Cocoa and the way it is manufactured by Messrs . Kpps , to fit it for a . wholesome and nutritious beverage , might be of interest to the readers of Lund unit Water .- — See Aiticle in Lund und Hater , October 14 .

HOI . I . OWAY ' S Pn . i . s . —Somewhere or other disease is ever rife and everywhere its surest opponent , this * purifying medicine is to be found , when symptonsof sickness lirst set in they may be easily subdued by this grand remedy , which gives gicat and prompt relief to every oppressed organ or disordered function . These Pills regulate and strengthen digestion more rapidly , efficiently , and with more certainty

than any other combination of drugs , be it ever so scientificall y prescribed . Nothing can exceed the ability of I lolloway' . s medicine to secure natural functional action , whereby thousands of life-long maladies have been prevented at very trifling expense nnd no cost to the constitution . An acquisition so priceless should be at hand in every Household . —ADVT .

" I am happy to inform you of the great benefit my daughter has derived from your Pain Killer . She was suffering from tic-doulouroux and severe pains in the head . We used many remedies , but nothing eased her till we tried your Vegetable Pain Killer , which gave her instant releif . Two doses effected the cure . — J OSKPH LI-WIS , Fenton , Staff ., Oct ., 1871 . - —To Perry Davis tx . Son ; London . W . C . "

Freemasonry In Greece.

FREEMASONRY IN GREECE .

The social benefits of Freemasonry are so widely acknowledged , that we must all congratulate the Greeks on the recent auspicious consummation of their wishes , in the final and complete

establishment of a Grand Lodge and Supreme Grand Council , 33 ° , And the unanimous election of a British naturalized subject as first Grand Master .

It is known that in the year 1867 the first step was taken towards the formation of the Grand Lodge in qestion , but owing to various causes its establishment , down to the present time , had

remained imperfect , and it continued to be presided over by a Deputy Grand Master . On the 18 th October , 186 9 , ( see Freemason Oct . , 30 th 1869 ) was regularly intitiated into

the mysteries of the Craft , in Lodge St Andrew , No . 48 , H . I . H . The Prince Rhodocanakis , now first Grand Master of Greece , and who , by his zeal in the cause of Freemasonry , no Jess than

by the evidence of his claims , supported as they are by some of the most distinguished Greeks at Athens , ampl y merits our warm congratulations , and the hope that the success of an enterprise

fraught with so much prospective good , in the cause of charity and good order , to the Hellenes may not fail to receive the warm recognition of the three Grand Lodges of these kingdoms .

We have also to congratulate the Greeks on the wisdom of their choice , in electing to the head of their Masonic body , one whose liberality and dignity of sentiment are well known in this

country , and whose social eminence they uphold by their suffrages , while on the other hand , he has claims to such considerations which are known to none better than the Greeks themselves ,

who thus endorse them . It appears that the following lodges are on the the roll of the Grand Lodge of Greece , namely ; 1 . Children of Leonidas , at Syra ;

2 . Panelhnion , at Athens ; 3 . Possidonia , at Pirreus j 4 . Skoufas , at Chalcis ; 5 . Corcyra , at Corfu :

6 . Archimedes , at Patrasj 7 . Rhigas the Phereian , at Lamia ; 8 . Progress , at Argos . From these the Grand Office-bearers have

been elected ( July 22 nd , 1872 ) for the period 1872-5 ; and the festival of the Order will henceforth be held on the anniversary of the election of H . I . H . the Prince Rhodocanakis , as First

Grand Master . According to the official list , the rolls of the Grand Lodge , and Supreme Grand Council 33 ° , of Greece are as follows : —

Grand Master , H . I . H . the Prince Demetrius Rhodocanakis , G . C . G ., & c * Dep . G . Master , Professor N . Damaskinos . * Subst . G . M ., Dem . Stef . Mavrokordatos . *

S . G . Warden , Professor J . G . Papadaces . * J . G . W ., Major Spiridion Karaiskakes . '* * - ' G . Orator , Nicholas Rhados .

G . Secretary , Reg . and Seal Keeper , Andrea Kalybas . * G . Treasurer and Almoner , Athanasius Durutis . *

Freemasonry In Greece.

G . Director of Ceremonies , John Mindler . G . Architect , Max . Rothschild . We understand that Rose Croix Chapters are

also in course of formation at Athens , Syra , & c , but at present we are not favoured with particulars .

In conclusion we may observe that it is just such an institution as the present that Greece requires . Eminently pacific , eminently charitable , and conserving the best elements of social

integrity , it will , with the authority of such names as the above , g ive direction to the efforts which in common , all Masonic bodies make , to ameliorate the condition of our fellow men , and to inculcate a respect for religion and order .
