BADGLEY, Master. R. S. TYLEE, Secretanj. t c i tat ng» uly the im- lall red I EXTRACTS FROM " THE BOOK OF CONSTITUTIONS," PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE UNITED GRAND LODGE, IN 1841, BY WILLIAM HENRY WHITE, AS GRVND SECRETARY. I. — The Masonic Officers of a Lodge are tlie Master and his two Wardens, with their Assistants, the two Deacons, Inner Guard, and Tyler ; to which, for the better regulation of the private concerns of the Lodge, are to be added a Treasurer, and Secretary, and other Officers, viz : a Chaplain, Master of Ceremonies, and Stewards may also be added. IL— Every Lodge shall annuaUy elect its Master and Treasurer by ballot, such Master having been regularly appointed and having served as Warden of a Warrant- ed Lodge for one year, and, at the next meeting after liis election, when the minutes are confirmed, he shall be duly installed in the Chair according to ancient usage, after which he shall appoint his Wardens and other Officers, except the Treasurer and Tylers. Tylers are chosen by the members of the Lodge. N. B.— It is not essential, although very desirable, that a Brother should be presentwheu appointed to any office, provided it be known that he will accept thg same. c 18 III. — No Master of the tavern or house, at which the Lodge meets, shall be appointed to or hold any of- fice in the Lodge, without a dispensation from tlie Grand Master or tlic Provincial Grand Master. rV^ — Every Lodge has the power of framing By-Laws for its own government, provided they are not contrary to or inconsistent with the general regulations of the Grand Lodge. The By-Laws must be submitted to the approbation of the Grand Master, or the Provincial Grand Master, and when approved, a fair copy must be sent to the Grand Secretary, and in the case of a country Lodge, also to the Provincial Grand Mastery and, when any material alteration shall be made, such alteration must, in like manner, be submitted. No law or altera- tion will be valid until so submitted and approved. The By-Laws of the Lodge shall be fairly written in a book, and shall be delivered to the Master on the day of his installation, when he shall solemnly pledge himself to observe and enforce them during his Mastership. Every Brother shall also sign them when he becomes a mem- ber of the Lodge, as a declaration of his submission to them, and every member shall at all reasonable times have access to such By-Laws, and be allowed to take copies thereof, if they are not printed for the use of the Lodge and delivered to :^hc members. V. — Every Lodge shall keep a book or books in which the Master or some Brother, appointed by him as Secre- tary, shall enter the names of its members and of all persons initiated or admitted therein, with the dates of their proposal, admission, or initiation, passing and rais- ing; and also their ages, as nearly as possible, at that time, and their titles, professions, or trades, tocether i ( I 19 with such transactions of the Lodge as are proper to be written. The particular house or place of meeting, as well as the regular days of meeting of the Lodge, shall be spe- cified in the By-Laws, and no meeting of the Lodge shall be held elsewhere, except a removal be decided upon in conformity with the laws enacted in that respect. VI. — A Lodge of Emergency may, at any time, be called, by the authority of the Master, or, in Ids absence, of the Senior Warden, but on no pretence without such authority first given. The particular reason of calling the Lodge of Emergency shall be expressed in the sum- mons, and, afterwards, recorded on the minutes, and no business but that so expressed, shall be entered upon at such meeting. YIL — Every Lodge, when regularly removed to a new place of meeting, or whenever the day of assem- bling shall be altered, shall immediately send notice thereof to the Girand Secretary, and, if a country Lodge, also to the Provincial Grand Master. The Officers of a removed Lodge shall not be permitted to attend the Grand Lodge or Provincial Grand Lodge until such re- moval shall be properly notified. VIII. — The precedency of Lodges is derived from the number of their constitution, as recorded in the books of the Grand Lodge. No Lodge shall be acknow- ledged nor its Officers admitted into the United Grand Lodge or a Provincial Grand Lodge, nor any of its members entitled to partake of the general charity or other Masonic privilege, unless it has been regularly constituted and registered.

If, however, there be no otlier Lodge in tlu' vicinity of his dwelling of which lie can become a Member, he may be permitted to pay, through the Lodge in which he was initiated, the quarterly dues to the fund of benevolence, and after having served the Lodge and paid such dues for four years at least, may be considered eligible to be relieved in case of necessi- ty, and entitled to the other privileges of the craft in the same manner as if he had been a regular subscril)- imj member. XIV. — Every Lodge must receive as a member, without further proposition or ballot, any Brother ini- tiated therein, provided such Brother express his wishtci that effect on the day of his initiation, as no Lodge should introduce into Masonry a person whom the Brethren might consider unfit to be a member of their own Lodge. XV. — Every Lodge must be particularly careful in registering the names of the Brethren initiated therein, and also in making the returns of its members, as no per- son is regularly entitled to partake of .le general charity unless his name be duly registered, and he shall Y '. ~:m at least two years a contributing member of a •(? - ; except in the following cases, to which the limitation of c2 0'7 tl< two years is „o, meant to c.-cnl, «z. .-shipwreek or li^ub, fu% utte:^ted and proved. clnd'/Tr''' • 'T^ '' "-lividuaLs by their being ex- tthen Lodges, in not registering their names, any Bro- ker, so circumstanced, on producing sullicieat proof that he has Paul the full fees to his Lodge, including thjre- gi^tor fee, shall be capable of enjoying the privileges of he rah. But the offending Lodge shall I reported to the Board of Genera!

T Y^T^H^ "'''"''' '''"^^'"'^ ""'' i'^''^ «" ^^^o"nt of the Lodge shall be entered in proper books. The fees or dues received on account of, and payable to, the Grand Lodge, or Provincial Grand Lodge, shall be kept sepa- rate and distinct from the monies belonging to the pri- vate luiul of tlie Lodge, and shall be deposited in the hands of the Master instead of the Treasurer of the Lodge, and shall be transmitted to tlie Grand Lodge, or 1 rovincial Grand Lodge, at such times as the laws of the craft require. The accounts of the Lodge shall be audited, at least once in every year, by a Committee to be appointed by the Lodge. XVIL— Each Lodge shall procure for every Brother initiated therein, a Grand Lodge certificate, in he pr id for by the Lodge. X VIIL—No Lodge, or Officer or Member of a Lod^^e shall, ^inder any circumstances, give a certificate or re- commctuktion to enable a Mason to proceed from Lodge 23 to Lodge as a pauper, or In an itinerant manner to ap- ply to Lodges for relief. XIX.— No Lodge .^liull form any puLiic Masonic pro- cession witliout a licence from the Grand Master, or a rrovineicil (h-aiid Master. ^^•— -All Lodges are partieularly bound to observe the same usages and customs ; every deviation, there- fore, from the cstablislied mode of working is liig!iiy improper, and cannot be justilied or countenanced." In order to preserve this uniformity, and to cultivate a good understanding among Free-Masons, some Members of every Lodge should be deputed to visit the other Lodges as often as may be convjnient. ^ XXL— If any Brother behave in such a manner as to disturb the harmony of the Lodge, he shall be thrice formally admonished by the Master : and, if he persist in his irregular conduct, he shall be punished accerdinir to the By-Laws of that particular Lodge, or the case may be reported to higher INIasonic authority. ^^^^- — ^o Lodge shall exclude any member with- out giving him due notice of the charge preferred or complaint made against him, and of the time appointed for its consideration. The name of every Brother ex- cluded, togethox ^vith the cause of his exclusion, shall be sent to the Grand Secretary; and, if a country Lodge, also to the Provincial Grand Master or his De^- puty* XXIIL— The jewels and furniture of every Lodge belong to, and are the property of the Master, Wardens, and Brethren of such Lodge ; and the master of the house wher e the Lodge is held, shall have no property •The term exneUe.d is n«eci '>nl" --vhon t ni—tu--^ • T"7 ~ crait by the Grand Lodge.-fu a fii^S "' ••'W"-1 to the general char- <9f ffjs iH«StcrS milf matlrtns at EoiraM, I.-A1I preferment among Masons should be ground- t i^arrant de- shall have shall have ide against Wardens, nt, books, s Deputy, Jj or any nthorized sufficient ions shall e may be idLodge. iw or re- specific 3 Grand a Pro- fine, or for the lan five within i*e than ay the ■ years ! to be char- 27 cd upon real worth and personal merit only, therefore no Brother shall be elected Master of a Lodge or ap- pointed to any office therein, merely on account of se- niority or rank. No Master shall assume the Master's chair until he shall have been regularly installed, though he may, in the interim, rule the Lodge. It is necessary, previously to the installation of the Master, that the minutes of the preceding meeting of the Lodge should be read and confirmed, so far at least as to the election of the Master, after which the usual ceremonies of installation arc to be performed. Should the minutes of the election of Master not be confirmed, then a summons must be issued for the following regu- lar meeting of the Lodge, setting forth that the Breth- ren were again to proceed to elect a Master, and on the confirmation of the minutes of that election in the fol- lowing ordinary meeting of the Lodge, the installation of the Master will follow.

III.— No Brother shall continue in the oflice of Mas- ter for more than two years in succession, unless by a dispensation, which may be granted by the Grand Mas- ter or the Provincial Grand Master in cases of real ne- cessity; but he may be again elected after ho has been out of that oifice one year. IV. — The Master and Wardens of a Lodge are en- joined to visit other Lodges as often as they convenient- Iv can: in crder that the same usaeres and customs may und- 28 be observed througbout the craft, and a good under- standing be thereby cultivated amongst Free-Masons. V. The Master is responsible for the due observance of the laws relating to private Lodges, and is bound to produce all books, minutes, and accounts, when requir- ed by any lawful authority. VI. — If the Master should die, be removed, or be incapable of discharging the duties of his office, the Se- nior Warden, and in the absence of the Senior War- den, the Junior Warden, and in tho absence of both War- dens then the immediate Past Master, or in his absence the Senior Past Master, shall act as Master, in summon- ing the Lodge, until the next election of officers. In the Master's absence, the immediate Past Master, or if he be absent the Senior Past Master of the Lodge pre- sent, shall take the Chair. - If neither the Past'Master nor any Past Master of the Lodge be present, then the Senior Warden, or in his absence the Junior Warden, shall rule the Lodge.

IX. — The Wardens or Officers of a Lodge cannot be removed, unless for a cause which appears to the Lodge to be sufficient ; but the Master, if he be dissa- tisfied with the conduct of any of his officers, may lay the cause of complaint before the Lodge; and if it shall appear, to the majority of the Brethren present, that the i V 29 complaint be well founded, he shall have power to dis- place such officer, and to nominate another, I. — No Brother shall be admitted a member of a Lodge, unless the laws of the craft, relating to the proposing and admitting of candidates, shall have been strictly complied with.

This law is not to extend to the writing, printing, or publishing, of any notice or summons, issued to the members of a Lodge, by the authority of the Master, or the proceedings of any festival or public meeting at which persons not Masons are permitted to be present. V. — The majority of the members present at any Lodge duly summoned have an undoubted right to re- gulate their own proceedings, provided that they are consistent with the General Laws and Regulations of the craft ; no member, therefore, shall be permitted to enter in the Minute Book of his Lodge a protest against D Mj- 30 any resolution or proceeding which may have taken place, unless it shall appear to him to be contrary to the laws and usages of the craft, and for the purpose of complauHng or appealing to a higher masonic authority. yi.— If any member suall be excluded from hh Lodge, or shall withdraw himself from it, without hav- ing complied with its By-Laws, or with the general Re- gulations of the craft, he shall not be eligible to any other Lodge, until that Lodge shall have been made ac- quainted with his former neglect, so that the Brethren may be enabled to exercise their discretion as to his admission. Whenever a member of any Lod-e shall resign, or shall be excluded, or whenever, at a future time, he may require it, he shall be furnished with a certificate, stating the circumstances under which he left the Lodge ; and such certificate is to be produced to any other Lodge of which he is proposed to be ad- mitted a member, previous to the ballot being taken.

Any two members of a Lodge may transmit in writing to the Mas- ter the name, &c. of any candidate whom they may wi \ to propose, and the circumstances whicli cause the em- ergency ; and the Master, if tlie emergency be proper, shall notify the said recommendation to every member of his Lodge, stating the name, age, addition or profes- sio-.i, and place of abode, of the candidate ; and may, at the same time, summon a Lodge to meet at a period of not less than seven days from the issuing of the sum- mons, for the purpose of balloting for the Candidate ; and, if the Candidate be then approved, he may be in- itiated into the first degree of Masonry. The Master shall, previous to the ballot being taken, cause the said proposition, and the emergency stated, to be recorded in he j^.Iinute-Book of the Lodge. 3.

Some Lodges wish for no such indulgence, but require the unanimous consent of the members present ; some admit one black ball, some two; the By-Laws of each Lodge must, therefore, guide them in this respect ; but if there be three black balls such person cannot, on any pretence, be admitted.

Every candidate shall, on his initiation, solemnly promise to submit to the constitutions, and to conform to all the usages and regulations of the craft, intimated to him in time and place convenient.
