Bro. Warren And The Grand Lodge Club.

satisfactory by Bro . Warren ; though with a view to render it more so , I may , perhaps , state the grounds on which his name was rejected . Consistency is often held to be only another name for obstinacy ; but it was generally felt that the tergiversation of which Bro . Warren had been guilty , placed him entirely out of the pale of membership with brethren whose principles Bro . Warren had once espoused , ancl whose objects he well knew and approved ofbut which have been since so distorted and misrepresented

, in the pages of the Magazine under his control . By the way , it is worth an inquiry whether the rejection of Bro . AVarren has been the fans et orif / o of the abuse which has been so unsparingly lavished upon all in any way connected with the Grand Lodge Club ! N'hnporle . The mention of " their right lion , captain and reverend general , " is in bad taste , and is perfectly uncalled for . Neither one nor the other has had any share in the transactions , the former never having been ever consulted

from the formation of the Club to the present moment . I regret that this letter has already exceeded the limits I had intended for it . I might add much—but I feel it would be useless . Studied detraction will defeat its own ends ; and I have sufficient confidence in the fairness of the brethren at large to believe that they will not be led away by the brilliant fancies of even the arch-apostle of discord , who cannot attend a private Lodge meetingan annual festivala Prov . Grand Lod or even

, , ge , the solemn consecration of a Royal Arch Chapter , without striving to kindle the embers of strife , and appealing to the passions , instead of endeavouring to allay animosities . The discussion in Grand Lodge , on AVednesday next , will doubtless clear up other matters , to which I will not now even ailudc . Meanwhile , I am , Sir and Brother , in great haste , yours fraternally , London , May Wlh , 1859 . ^ F IIKDIC . B INCKES .

[ AA'b have no wish to mix up the conduct of Bro . AVarren with that of the Magazine ; but how far he has been guilty of the tergiversation imputed to him , he will , we believe , ere long explain in his own name . In the meantime we may state that he was never a member of'the Constitutional , " "the Oxford , " "the Observer , " or any other " party" of which the brethren alluded to in the above letter of Bro . Binckes were members ; nor was he ever looked

upon as such by them , as can be proved by their acts . If Bro . Warren's name was submitted to the members of the Grand Lodge Club , and unanimously rejected , all we need answer is , that the information that it was never so submitted was conveyed to us by Bro . Binckes himself . We however are not going to enter into a personal controversy with that brother , being content to follow out the even tenor of our course , regardless alike of his approbation or reprobation . —En . ]
