The Mark Degree.
* THE MABK DEGREE .
In consequence of the dispute which has arisen between the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland and the Bon-Accord Chapter of Aberdeen , relative to the latter having granted a Charter for the practice of Mark Masonry in London , the Bon-Accord Chapter , still believing themselves to be in the right , have determined to return their Charter to the Grand Chapter . They have also come to the following resolution : "' Being aware that the Arch and other subordinate Degrees connected therewith were wrought by the Knights Templar Encampments in Aberdeen many years previous to the formation of the Supreme Chapter , and that the Knights Templar Encampments never gave up their inherent right of working these Degrees , therefore resolve to apply to the St . George Aboyne Knights Templar Encampment for a Warrant or Charter to work the Royal Arch Degree , and other subordinate Degrees connected therewith ; and that the Officebearers be appointed a committee to carry this resolution into effect .
