What ' the Grand Ledge Has to Sny
About It
M. W. Grand Master J. H. Swnrtwout of
the grand lodge of Connecticut , ut its 10M
annual I session , held ut Hartford , Conn ,
January IS , in his address , said :
During the past year , edicts have been re
ceived ' from the grand masters of Pennsyl
vania , Nebraska , Florida and South Dakota ,
declaring the so-called "Cerneau rites clan
destine In consequanco of the Masonic in
terests ' involved , the opinion of the commit
tee on Jurlsnrudonco , Luke A. Lockwood of
Norwalk , chairman , was solicited by the
grand master Mr Lockwood , who is u Now
York lawyer , residing in this state , and a
* gentleman of promlnonco In Masory , decides
that "so far as tbo grand ledge is concerned ,
the re is nothing except what pertains to the
lira 1 t three degrees of Masonry ; that it can
no i moro have Masonlu knowledge of the
Scottish . Rite than * it can bavo Masonic
knowledge of the numerous secret societies
which ' exist on oven-hand , " Mr Lockwnod
says j in addition : "Wo cannot afford , nor
have wo the right to do anything whereby n
brother ' , guilty of no moral turpitude and
performing I all his duties ns a good Mason
and ' citizen , shall bo excluded from this
guaranteed brotherhood simply because
some [ other society declares that ho belongs
to ' a schism of that body and is clandestin o. "
; Mr Lockwood can see no reason whv the
Connecticut ' grand ledge should , or indeed
how it can , meddle with either party to the
dissensions arising in tbo independent Scot
tlsh Rlto , The concurrence of Grand Master
Swartwout in this view is full and or iitlc
It settles the question that the ConI7ucut !
grand I ledge of Masons will not become an
ullv • with the grand lodges of Pennsylvania
