THE ¦ G'AJTADAS
TO THE EDITOR OP THE FREEMASONS MAGAZINE . Dear Sir and Brother ,- —After the discussion in Grand Lodge last April , it will doubtless be surprising to you , and those of your readers who take an interest in Canadian affairs , to learn that our Provincial Grand Lodge has not yet been notified of the answer to the memorial then laid before Grand Lodge ; and that the only information we have received has been through the pages of the Freemasons' Magazine . Surely the officials at home must think our patience of an extraordinary character if they expect the temper of Canadian Masons to
be improved by the further waiting for a notification of the now " too late" and scant justice offered us by the G . M . Surely , too , the officials of Grand Lodge pught to be better acquainted with our position and wrongs—having had them before them since June 1850 , and knowing that their supineness had already cost them the allegiance of more than one-half the Canadian Masons , and that the other half have held firm only from a sincere desire to exhaust every fraternal means before having recourse to the painful one of final severance ,- —than to think
that we will wow be satisfied with the offer of nomination of three names for Prov . G . M ., contribution to English Grand Lodge funds ( while having also to relieve indigent Brethren emigrating here from the United Kingdom ) , and last and chiefest , the great boon of " a representation in Grand Lodge the same as is accorded to foreign Lodges I" We thank those Brethren for the meaning attached to that word ; and we would now tell them in reply , that—whether conceded or wrested— we must be independent , or equal to a " foreign" Lodge— -for , in the words of our " last" Memorial , " the time has been allowed to pass when moderate vol , in . 3 //
