Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... the great demand for admission has somewhat abated, and we are gradually returning to normal conditions. While numbers are to be desired, the one great object of the Royal Craft is to impress upon the candidates the sublime lessons of the degrees, which, in many cases, where large classes have been rushed through, may have failed to accomplish the desired results." He attended the meeting of the General Grand Chapter; was pleased with his reception; refers to it, approving the educational work of some Grand Chapters, urging the adoption of the Towner Sterling Educational Bill, and gives the vote on the defeat of the revision of the Constitution one hundred and fortythree to ninety-four. He made a large number of visitations. Was cordially received, and found the work well done. In summing up his visitations he says: "There is no place in any Masonic ritual for the introduction of a circus or jest at the expense of the candidate. If the clean ceremony of the ritual, which is intended to teach and illustrate great truths, does not appeal to the ofiicers of a Chapter, then a mistake has been made in their election. "It has been brought to my attention that in many Grand Jurisdictions, in conferring the degrees of Capitular Masonry, there is often a spirit of cruelty manifested and the degrees are conferred in such a manner as to be painful and humiliating to the candidates. I believe that this General Grand Chapter desires in the most positive manner to express its unqualified disapproval of such practices.

Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...to Lawrence Dermott, the Grand Secretary (Ancients), was issued in London, July 15, 1761, and handed to Brother Joseph Reed, who sent it to Philadelphia. "The warrant was never received, as the ship bringing it over was captured by the French. A most interesting fact is that when the Provincial Grand Lodge was warranted the membership of this august body was composed entirely of members of this Lodge which in the year 1760 assumed the number '2, ' so as to leave the other vacant for the Grand Lodge about to be formed. "April 8, 1760, Lodge divided harmoniously in two sections, having two sets of officers, except that there was but one treasurer for both---first section meeting first Tuesday and second section fourth Tuesday of every month. "Decenber 30, 1763, a second warrant was issued in London appointing Brother William Ball Provincial Grand Master; but this never reached Pennsylvania. A third warrant was issued and received in Pennsylvania in 1765, and this date has been wrongly accepted as the date of the formation of the Grand Lodge, Ancient York Masons, when it should have been 1761,50 our Grand Lodge is actually four years older than before claimed. "February 2, 1764, Brother William Ball, of Lodge No. 2, was installed as the first Provincial Grand Master of Pennsylvania. His first official act was to constitute the second section of Lodge No. 2 a separate and independent Lodge to be known as Lodge No. 3, A. Y. M., with Brother John McAulcy as Worshipful Master.."
