The following notice of motion , which has been placed on the business paper for Grand Lodge , on the 5 th of March by the Grand Registrar , will be read Avith considerable interest : — "To add to Rule 175 Book of Constitutions the following provision— ' 175 A . Should a member be four years in arrear , he shall therefore cease to be a member of the
Lodge , and can only become a member again by regular proposition and ballot according to Rule 18 9 . The Lodge may require payment of the arrears as a condition precedent to election . This Rule shall not prevent a Lodge proceeding against any of its members under Rule 210 for non-payment of contributions according to its bye-laAvs , for a shorter period
than four years . When a Brother ceases to be a member under this Rule , the fact shall be forthwith notified to the Grand Secretary , and , if the Lodge be within a Province or District , also to the Provincial or District Grand Lodge . The provisions of Rule 211 , , and 213 shall apply in such a case , as if the brother had been excluded by vote . ' "
o © o We believe the Fraternity Avill gladly welcome and adopt a rule which will have the effect of automatically cancelling the membership of those brethren Avho SO lightl y value their privileges as to allow their contributions to remain unpaid , in some cases for many years . It is true that the rule alread y
provides for their exclusion by vote of the lodge , but the duty is always an unpleasant one , and the executive officers will rejoice to be relieved from taking the initiative .
* <** * No special gift of prophecy is required to foretell that at the next meeting of Grand Lodge in March , His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught will be again elected Grand Master of English Freemasons , and that on the 30 th April the formal installation , personally or by proxy , will then take
place . The election to the office of Grand Treasurer is also equally placed beyond conjecture , Bro . Captain BarloAV , J . P ., being the only nominee .
