fact that no greater honour c . tn be bestowed on . a brother than to be elected the Master of his lodge , we desire to do our part towards creating a permanent record of such event in his Masonic history by placing
his portrait before our readers . We shall be pleased to furnish Secretaries of lodges and others who may take an interest in our project whatever information may be desired as to our proposed method of procedure .

Within 24 . hours more or less of the time when this number finds its way into the hands of our readers , the Great Festival of Christmas will be upon us . We gladly , therefore , take this opportunity of wishing all our readers a Merry Christmas both now and for many
years to come . As this Festival falls in this instance on a Sunday , its celebration will necessaril y be more subdued in tone ; but , owing to that wise dispensation by which the Christmas festivities are spread over a goodly number of days , there will still be ample time
for indulging in the usual seasonable pleasures . One thing is certain , the children home from school will not be denied their enjoyments , and their holidays are not limited to a single day , and we doubt not they will
be afforded the opportunity of renewing their acquaintance with Clown and Pantaloon , Harlequin and Columbine , as well as with the sprites and the fairies and other people who take a conspicuous part in Christmas Pantomimes .
# # # Bro . D . Murray Lyon , Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Scotland , has issued the following circular to all the lodges in Scotland : " I have the honour to inform the Lodges in
Scotland and the Proxy Masters on the roll that the half of the free income of Grand Lodge for year ending 24 th November last amounts to about . £ 1380 , of which sum , £ 690 will be at the disposal of the Board for the payment of annuities in the year 18 93 . A similar sum
falls to be capitalised . Of the . £ 1736 at the disposal of the Board for the year 18 92 the sum of , £ 1085 was paid in annuities . The salaries and working expenses for the year amounted to £ gi . Balance , £ 560 . An
expenditure of ^ 1115 is required to meet the payments of 106 pensioners presently on the roll . The Board meets on 12 th January next for the granting of annuities . Petitions for consideration at this meeting cannot be received after the 21 st instant . "
* * The Provincial Grand Lodge of Forfarshire has also issued a circular on the subject . Under the new rule of Grand Lodge all annuitants must now be reported upon annually by the Provincial Grand Lodges .
Twenty-two annuitants in this Province of Forfar fall to be certified by the Provincial Grand Master as representing the Province before the annuity is sent off . The Committee met for this purpose in the Ancient Hall , Dundee , on the 21 st instant .
According to the Voice of Masonry , a person of the name of Byron F . Lockwood , of Jackson , Michigan , is reported to have been suing the Freemasons and Oddfellows in that town for having blackballed him some
