The forming Of a General Relief Com

efforts OF the members OF Rathbone

the last convention of Rathbone. the r.

chancellor The following clause leaves
the subject in doubt whether by the
words land served in the Office of V. CT
is meant to imply full term or not; If
not, then the V. G. Is eligible, but SO
then the Y. G. could not be elected This
question was asked the Grand Chan ceilor
by the d. ID. q. q. of District No. o. and
in reply the G. c. states that the v. G.
was not entitled to the chair, but could
be elected from the door to the G. C.,s
chair by obtaining dispensation from
the @. G. He having previous to his eiec-
tion as G. g. resigned the chair of v c.,
may disagree with the G. G., and hold the
Nv. G. should retain command of the
aodge until the night of his installation
es commander, he having previously been
hlected to that position; then just before
OILS installation he may turn the lodge
over to the district deputy, ana then re-
sign as V. c., thus retaining command of
the lodge and relieving 1t of the
necessity of turning out the senior past
commander TO take charge until after in
stallation. However. the question sof
eligibility is settled by this opinion, that

The following is a list of knights who
were nominated recently for Grand
Lodge oficers:-- For Grand Chancellor.
John Ulrich. of No. "A; for Vice Chancel=
lor, Charles w. Kilbeurn, of No. 3d. for
Grond Prelate, Walter L. Hayhurst, of
No. 16; for G. *. of r. and s., Leslie S.
Menger, of No. 81; for G.. M. of E., Cor
delius Y. N. Wilson, of No So: for Grand
NJ at A, Peter L. Cruiser, of No. AZ; for
Grand Inner Guard, Stephen Van Wart,
of No. 50, and Ralph Donath, of No. ID;
for Supreme Representative, Joseph Nc
Cullough. The election will be held in
the castle halls of the various lodges on
the first meeting In December by the
past chancellors. The Election of the
last three named willprobably be decided
on the floor of the Grand Lodge, there
being SO many candidates for the offices.
A school of instruction for officers of
the various lodges, and presided over by
the ID. ID. q. G., would not be bad idea.
By such mean the work throughout the
district could be made uniform and a
better attendance at lodge meetings guar
anteed
We are pleased to note the recovery of
ID. ID. G. G. Stephen Van Wart from his
recent severe illness. He will be able to
resume business this coming week. but
will not be able to give any attention TO
the lodges of District No. % for short
time.

The reason of the great perfection in
the skirmish drill, as shown by Sir
knights Higgins and several others of
