Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois I am pleased to. Report that our inter-jurisdictional relations remain most cordial and harmonious. While a ripple of dissatisfaction has now and then appeared on the usually placid surface of diplomatic intercourse, yet in each case 'a spirit Of compromise has prevailed which resulted in the amicable adjustment of all controversies. The fact that during the past year' the Grand Master has not found it necessary to exercise any of the disciplinary powers incident to his office in the settlement of troubles between lodges in this jurisdiction is the best evidence that unusual good feeling and harmony prevail. The official visits ofthe District Deputy Grand Masters to the lodges in their respective jurisdictions have been a valuable means for disseminating knowledge of masonic law and usage and have resulted in a closer observance of the provisions of the Blue Book, thus materially reducing the chances for mistakes and misunderstandings. That the provision of the law, by which the expense of official visits by the District Deputy Grand Masters has been paid by the Grand Lodge, is a wise one, is proven by the fact that of the 835 lodges in this jurisdiction reports are on file in this office from 819 leaving only 16 from which no reports have been received.
