arrangements of the day being so exceedingly satisfactory and complete . A most interesting feature in connection with this meeting was the presentation of a Masonic jewel to Bro . P . P . G . M . A . AV . Adair , the presentation being mads by the noble P . G . M . in the presence of the assembled brethren , Earl Caruavon , in making the presentation , conveyed , in language eloquent
and graceful , the feeling" ! of himself and the brethren towards one who had , during five years of office , faithfully and fraternally fulfilled , and used his best exertions to promote the welfare of the province over which he presided . P . P . G . M . A . AV . Adair responded in feeling and appropriate terms , and in doing so , received the cordial and enthusiastic greetings ofthe brethren present .
Buo . IIi-N-itY AViiiTiLi :, S . AV . ( N os . 871 and 1275 ) , has issued a circular to the Craft informing them that a meeting will be he'd at The Marquis of Granby Tavern , New Cross Road to-night at 7 o ' clock for the purpose of forming a New Cross Branch of the South Eastern Masonic Association , to frame the rules , enrol members , elect officers and generally on the business
of the association . The object of such an Association is to benefit all the Masonic Charities , and by the payment of the small sum of a shilling per weak by its members to obtain for them life-governorships in one or other of the Eleemosynary Institutions established by the Craft . When the funds of the Association amount to ten guineas tbe governorship is drawn for , and the successful Brother becomes a life-governor
of whichever Institution he may select . The scheme is a good one , and has the advantage of obtaining an expensive end by inexpensive means . God , tho great Father of all , has given no one of his children such property in the things of this world , but that he has also given to his needy brother a right in the surplusage of his goods , so that it cannot justly be denied him when his pressing wants call for it
Extract
EXTRACT
, Bro . Jacob Norton has called onr attention to an extract from the annual address of Illustrious Bro . Josiah H . Drummond , 33 ° , Sovereign Grand Commander of the Northern Supreme Council , and to the following comments upon it , which appeared in an American paper . We can only
reiterate our conviction that the hi g h degrees have no claim whatever to jurisdiction over Craft Masonry : — We had always supposed tbat the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite , as finally organized in 1801 , consisted of thirty-three degrees ,
commencing with that of Entered Apprentice , and concluding with the hi g h gradb of Sovereign Grand Inspector General 33 ° . If as stited in the address of 111 . Bro . Drummond , it has no control over the symbolic degrees , tliea is the series reduced to thirty degrees , and is not the
Ancient Accepted Rite , as practised iu all other portions of the world . It is true , for tha sake of harmony , and to prevent conflict with , the symbolic Masonry of the United States , Iho two Supreme Councils " waived " the conferring of the first three degrees , in bodies of their own ,
accepting those made Master Masons in their Sister Rite , known as the York , as material to work upon , but they never renounced their ri ght to confer these degrees , should a necessity exist for doing so . Ifc was a voluntary " waiver , " but was never " renounced" in concordats or
othevwise with the Masonic authorities of the York Rite of Symbolic Masonry . If this be so , and we challenge a successful denial , then does the argument ot the Sov . Gr . Commander Drummond—that the Lodge of Perfection consists only of eleven degrees , instead of
fourteen , and that all above the third degree , are controlled by action had iu the Symbolic Lodgefall to the ground . If , however , the case be as stated by him , which we again deny , then is tho whole supei-striicture of Ineffable Masonry at tho mercy of the M . Mason ' s Lodge of another system .
W e believe in every tub standing on its own bottom . If ifc has no botto . n , then ifc ceases to be a tub . We aro a lover of Y ork Masonry , and will ever be ready to enter tlie lists in defence of all the ri ghts it is lawfull y entitled to , but as a Scotti > -h Rite Mason , also , we do not believe
in truckling to any other Rite , by surrendering beyond recall the ancient and time-honoured prerogatives which aro the very foundations of the system . In this argument wo aro full y sustained b y the illustrious brother Albert Pike , 33 ° , Sov . Gr .
Commander of the Southern Supremo Council ; and hold that a Symbolic Lodge of the York or any other Rite cannot control a Supremo Council 33 ° A . A . S . Bite , nor deprive any member of tho same of his hi gh grade , until his peers of thc 33 " havo sat iu judgment on him , and consented to his degradation .
OBSERVANCES . —Almost all the circumstances attending the promulgation ofthe Jewish dispensations have been introduced into Freemasonry ; and the particular observances incorporated with its ceremonial . The Divine appearance at the Burning Bush , the shoes , the rod , the serpent , aud the Sacred Name , aro equally embodied in the system . The
plagues of Egypt , with the signs which attended the divine deliverance of the children ot Israel from captivity—the pillar of a cloud and of fire , the mighty winds , the division of the Red Sea , the salvation of God ' s people , and the destruction of Pharaoh and bis host ; thc wanderings iu the wilderness , tho delivery of the law , the building of tho
Tabernacle , and the establishment of thu hierarchy ; tbe order observed in tbe frequent migrations , led by thc banners of each tribe , and other important events , all form parts of the complicated system of Freemasonry , and show its connection with tho offices of religion .

P . P . G . M . A . AV . Adair responded in feeling and appropriate terms , and in doing so , received the cordial and enthusiastic greetings ofthe brethren present .
Buo . IIi-N-itY AViiiTiLi :, S . AV . ( N os . 871 and 1275 ) , has issued a circular to the Craft informing them that a meeting will be he'd at The Marquis of Granby Tavern , New Cross Road to-night at 7 o ' clock for the purpose of forming a New Cross Branch of the South Eastern Masonic Association , to frame the rules , enrol members , elect officers and generally on the business
of the association . The object of such an Association is to benefit all the Masonic Charities , and by the payment of the small sum of a shilling per weak by its members to obtain for them life-governorships in one or other of the Eleemosynary Institutions established by the Craft . When the funds of the Association amount to ten guineas tbe governorship is drawn for , and the successful Brother becomes a life-governor
of whichever Institution he may select . The scheme is a good one , and has the advantage of obtaining an expensive end by inexpensive means . God , tho great Father of all , has given no one of his children such property in the things of this world , but that he has also given to his needy brother a right in the surplusage of his goods , so that it cannot justly be denied him when his pressing wants call for it

EXTRACT
, Bro . Jacob Norton has called onr attention to an extract from the annual address of Illustrious Bro . Josiah H . Drummond , 33 ° , Sovereign Grand Commander of the Northern Supreme Council , and to the following comments upon it , which appeared in an American paper . We can only
reiterate our conviction that the hi g h degrees have no claim whatever to jurisdiction over Craft Masonry : — We had always supposed tbat the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite , as finally organized in 1801 , consisted of thirty-three degrees ,
commencing with that of Entered Apprentice , and concluding with the hi g h gradb of Sovereign Grand Inspector General 33 ° . If as stited in the address of 111 . Bro . Drummond , it has no control over the symbolic degrees , tliea is the series reduced to thirty degrees , and is not the
Ancient Accepted Rite , as practised iu all other portions of the world . It is true , for tha sake of harmony , and to prevent conflict with , the symbolic Masonry of the United States , Iho two Supreme Councils " waived " the conferring of the first three degrees , in bodies of their own ,
accepting those made Master Masons in their Sister Rite , known as the York , as material to work upon , but they never renounced their ri ght to confer these degrees , should a necessity exist for doing so . Ifc was a voluntary " waiver , " but was never " renounced" in concordats or
othevwise with the Masonic authorities of the York Rite of Symbolic Masonry . If this be so , and we challenge a successful denial , then does the argument ot the Sov . Gr . Commander Drummond—that the Lodge of Perfection consists only of eleven degrees , instead of
fourteen , and that all above the third degree , are controlled by action had iu the Symbolic Lodgefall to the ground . If , however , the case be as stated by him , which we again deny , then is tho whole supei-striicture of Ineffable Masonry at tho mercy of the M . Mason ' s Lodge of another system .
W e believe in every tub standing on its own bottom . If ifc has no botto . n , then ifc ceases to be a tub . We aro a lover of Y ork Masonry , and will ever be ready to enter tlie lists in defence of all the ri ghts it is lawfull y entitled to , but as a Scotti > -h Rite Mason , also , we do not believe
in truckling to any other Rite , by surrendering beyond recall the ancient and time-honoured prerogatives which aro the very foundations of the system . In this argument wo aro full y sustained b y the illustrious brother Albert Pike , 33 ° , Sov . Gr .
Commander of the Southern Supremo Council ; and hold that a Symbolic Lodge of the York or any other Rite cannot control a Supremo Council 33 ° A . A . S . Bite , nor deprive any member of tho same of his hi gh grade , until his peers of thc 33 " havo sat iu judgment on him , and consented to his degradation .
OBSERVANCES . —Almost all the circumstances attending the promulgation ofthe Jewish dispensations have been introduced into Freemasonry ; and the particular observances incorporated with its ceremonial . The Divine appearance at the Burning Bush , the shoes , the rod , the serpent , aud the Sacred Name , aro equally embodied in the system . The
plagues of Egypt , with the signs which attended the divine deliverance of the children ot Israel from captivity—the pillar of a cloud and of fire , the mighty winds , the division of the Red Sea , the salvation of God ' s people , and the destruction of Pharaoh and bis host ; thc wanderings iu the wilderness , tho delivery of the law , the building of tho
Tabernacle , and the establishment of thu hierarchy ; tbe order observed in tbe frequent migrations , led by thc banners of each tribe , and other important events , all form parts of the complicated system of Freemasonry , and show its connection with tho offices of religion .
