is, by recent Masonic proclamation, in danger
Of expulsion from the blue lodge Of Masonry
and the resignation OF Mr. Peckham will, il
Is said by prominent Masons, be followed BY
many others
The Reason OF His Act
M Peckham was for many years promi
nent among the Cerneau Rite Masons, anc
for several years held the highest rank ii
that body, that Of grand commander for th'
United States. Two years ago he resigned
and was succeeded by r. 5. J. Gorgas, o.
Baltimore. Mr. Peekham's present resigna
ton, as he states in an open letter addressee
ITO the Masonic fraternity throughout th'
world Is because Of the atllliation Of the Su
prerne Council Of the body with the Grant
Orient Of France, which does not recognize
the existence of a personal God; whereas
MIR. Peckham states, such recognition is tn
very corner stone Of true Masonry.
Gorgas visited the Grand Orient.
Mr.. Pecl,hain has been Mason forty years
The utilization referred TO consisted in Mi
Gorgas visiting and meeting with the 'coun
Gil OF the ordorn Of the Grand Orient Will
ON a visit 60 Paris in 1875. This council,
has been claimed, is a distinct body froi
that Of the Grand Orient, but MIR Peckhar
gives the names OF the members Of the Gran
Orient, and shows that the council is mad
up from them. Consequently, he says ia
council was under the ban Of non-Alasoni
intercourse. In view of these facts he fee
constrained TO sever his connection wit
