In our correspondence column we publish a letter from "PAST MASTER" which necessitates a slight modification of some of our notes of last week . In

connection with it we may say we have found out we were not alone in misunderstanding the " out of

order " ruling . The error into which many appear to have fallen goes far to prove that in discussions of this character it is often very difficult for Brethren at a distance from the Chairman to fully appreciate the force and intention of official remarks , and hence it

is that mistaken ideas sometimes get abroad . In this case there is not much harm done—the proposition was ruled out of order , and as a consequence its discussion was disallowed , although in all probability a

free consideration of the subject would have ended as the authorities desired , with the additional advantage that then the subject would have been disposed of , whereas now it remains an open question , and is hardly likely to be left long at rest .

Our comments of last week in regard to the action of Bro . Lamonby were certainly based on an erroneous idea of what took place , but that mistake is of a minor character only , and our remarks would have been almost , if not quite as applicable , had we exactly

understood the ruling of the acting Grand Master . We still disapprove of the attempt to upset the traditions of the past by desiring to rush the question past the attention of the Committee of Grand Lodge , and no doubt there is a pretty general opinion that the

attempt met a just fate , judged from that particular standpoint .

It seems to us that if Bro . Lamonby's notice had been submitted first of all to the Grand Secretary and the Grand Registrar—in an ordinary sort of way—it might perhaps have been put in order : for we cannot tolerate the idea of the " burking " which seemed to be

expected . But as Bro . . Lamonby admitted , lie delivered it at the last moment intentionally—no doubt with the object that it should not be ruled out of order before the Board of Masters , and so declared not to be admissible on the agenda paper for the September

meeting . The whole matter might very well have been put in order , but even then if a discussion had taken place upon it the Grand Lodge of England and the outside body primarily concerned , which are at present on the most amicable terms , would , in all

probability , have been placed at variance , and a greater evil would have been created .

What a pity it is that members of the Masonic Order cannot keep Freemasonry out of their business transactions , and vice versa . The proceedings at the last meeting of the Brighton Town Council , of which wo give a report elsewhere , supply evidence of the

lolly ot mixing the two . Head Irom a Mason s standpoint and giving the Masons of the town the full benefit of every doubt , we cannot compliment them on the stand taken by their champions in the Council ; but what must be the feelings of those who

are opposed to Freemasonry , and those who accuse its members of helping each other to the detriment of their fellows' ? In our opinion the report in question is a Masonic scandal , and one which should
