Lodge Nomenclature,
LODGE NOMENCLATURE ,
To the Editor of the FREEMASON S CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —In your report of the consecration of the George Price Lodge , in a late issue , you say you " are averse , as a rule , to the naming of Lodges after well-known brethren , " and farther that you '' are of opinion thafc mnoh may be said in opposition
to suoh a course . " I am afc a loss to know what objections there can possibly be to this very popular method of honouring distinguished Craftsmen , and I think your remarks , unless you have very strong grounds for them , shonld not be allowed to go unchallenged . I consider that to name a new Lodge after some distinguished member of
the Order is not only endeavouring to do honour to the individual selected , by trying to perpetuate the memory of his name among Freemasons , but it i * a ' so au honour for the Lodge to have the
permission , which I suppose is always obtained before using a name , more especially when , as is usually the case , the name is associated with all thafc ia desired in a perfect Freemason . What can be the objection ? Yours fraternally , SUBURBAN .
