GOOD TRMPLARS.

Points From the Recent Annual Ses- sion of This Body-Representati From Many Parts of the World Pfes- ent. The recently held annual session ct the right worthy grand lodge of Good Tempiars aeld in Iowa was one of striking interest and interesting questions to the order were acted upon.
 The report of the R. W. G. T. was pre- sentsd and laid before the members. After the few preliminary remarks the aFspoft the few decisions made In answer to questions. These decisions pre- sent no new points of law. They announce that no person can be a member of two lodges; if @ person should become con nected with two lodges, the first lodge has control over him and can discipline him; grand lodges may by bylaw authorize the representatives of constituent lodges to cast the full vote thereof when any of the rep resentatives are absent; the executive committee of a grand lodge, in the absence of a prohibitory bylaw re- store members to their former rank and honors. The organization Of grand junior grand lodge In Minnesota, to work in the Swedish language, seems to nave caused considerable friction between the new body and the senior grand lodge or Minnesota, questions arising out Of wnicn seem to have occupied large share of the attention of the R. W. G. T., and several pages of the report are devoted to them. The question of the use of malt drinks in Denmark and Germany has caused con siderable discussion, some of the grand lodges in those jurisdictions having toler- ated the use of the milder form of malt drinks. This, the supreme body at it's last session forbade one of the grand lodges, that of Germany No. ?. | has since resolved to abandon the use oi ! such drinks. The certain lodges in Indis | have asked and received permission | to use the vedas in place of the bible in the | number of believers in the one God, but ! who are not Christians. The report is 6 lengthy and able one and we'll worthy o1 | the great order to which it is addressed. FOREIGN DELEGATES. Among the foreign delegates presen | are:
