Several attempts have been made to put the Mark on a different footing in our lodges , but none have been so sweeping as that in the motion by Bros . Rex and Inglis , the object of which seems to ultimately lift the ceremony out of our constitution . It proposes to
erase from Rule 3 the reference to the Mark as a part of the Second Degree , and notwithstanding Rule 158 which says ¦ " the fee for initiation covers the Mark , " the motion proposes not only to charge a fee for the ceremony , but to give lodges unlimited powers to exact a fee to any extent in the case of
a member applying for the Mark to other than his mother Lodge . The subject , truly , involves such far-reaching principles that , in justice to the Scottish Craft , any change which may be wished for must be discussed , as in i 860 , by a special committee , not merely in a motion such as that which will
be on the billet for the August meeting . I trust the lodges will dispose of the matter as the Star , 21 9 , did the other night by deciding to oppose the motion in its entirety . "

Schoolroom , where the lodge was held , was able to accommodate . A resolution was passed thanking Lord Stanley for his gift of his portrait to every lodge in the province , accompanied in each case by an autograph letter . Lord Stanley thanked the brethren for their noble support of him in February , and
mentioned Bros . Cheetham and Goulburn , who had laboured indefatigably and successfully , and were specially deserving of grateful acknowledgment . Last year , said his Lordship , he was told by many people that he would have more freedom this year than he had last . Some people were
telling him now that he would have that freedom next year for certain . He would not prophesy , but he would assure them that it would be a moment of pleasure to him when relief from work came , which would enable him to fulfil that which he had laid before him as his duty and pleasure in visiting every lodge within his province .
