I will give you an instance in point Wilhelm Ganz Past Grand Organist a Knight of the Royal In circular v. of 1900 (dated 9th June 1900) I drew attention Order of Wasa, first class. to the objectionable method of voting by " collective " ballot It was represented to me after its issue that some members of Lodge Victoria doubted that there 'was anything invalid in such a method, and asked me if I would be willing to refer the matter home. To which I replied, that I would be quite willing if the Lodge wished me to do so, but at the same time I felt sure of the result of such a reference. And I heard nothing more about the matter. But you cannot have SPIERS»POND s a better illustration of the harm that may be caused by the use of such ' collective " ballot than the late unfortunate proceeoings in Lodge Victoria (printed in the October " Proceedings ") and the complaint made in reference thereto. STORES Everything, or much that took place that night might have been avoided as pointed out already. In connection with (No Tickets Required) what took place on that occasion, I have also to state my opinion that one evil-minded Brother in a Lodge, determined to misuse the ballot for purposes of private malice, not only QOEEN VICTORIA STREET, E.G., may ruin a Lodge, but I do not hesitate to say that if such misuse could be brought home to him he would be worthy Opposite of but one punishment—of expulsion from the Craft. But it is a delicate subject to meddle with, for a Brother's con- Blackfriars Station (District Rly.) stitutional right to the use of the ballot must be left at all times perfectly free and unbiassed. AKD The next subject I have to call your attention to, is the St. Paul's Station (L. C. & D. Rly.). great care required to be exercised now-a-days in admitting visitors to our Lodges. There is a story frequentl y told, PRICE BOOK (1,000 pages), though I cannot of course vouch for its correctness, that about twenty years ago a person who was a Jew and had " bor- illustrated, rowed the Grand Lodge Certificate of a Brother friend was enabled thereby to gain admittance and sat in Lodge free on application, without being discovered. Article 150, Book of Constitu- tions, requires that a Brother shall ewe " satisfactorv nrnnf " FREE DELIVERY that he is the Brother referred to in the: Certificate he pro- duces.

Again, no non-subscribing member to a Lodge should be admitted to visit a Lodge more than once until he rejoins a Liberal terms Lodge. To admit him oftener, in fact, is contrary to Article 152 Book of Constitutions. The object of admitting such a for Country Orders, Brother once, _ is apparently to enable him to judge if he would like to join the Lodge or not.
