SONIC GRAND LODGE
OF 1896.
MATTERS TO BE BROUGHT UP
6
INCLUDE THE HOME FOR AGED
MAsoNs AND WIDOWS AND
ORPHANS.
THE PRoPosHD CIPHER RITUAL
Fnud Burdens Also to Be Dis
cussed at Some Length.

The grand lodge Of the Masonic bodies
of Minnesota begins its session in this
city next Wednesday, night at Masonic
hall. This will be the third annual
gathering of this body and the most
important that has yet been held
Among other questions of particular i'm
portance will be that regarding the es-
Enlistment of a Masonic home in the
state for aged Masons and widows and
orphans. This matter will probably
be definitely decided at the coming
meeting.
The cipher ritual question will also be
agitated. There is considerable interest
manifested in this question, many of
the members being strongly opposed to
it.
Another plan which will be discussed
will be in reference to the relief of dis
tressed brothers. AT present, it is
claimed, that the city lodges have the
greater part of the burden to bear in
this respect and the country lodges
have but little taxation.
Changing this plan so as to equalize
the burden will, of course, be difficult
and much Importance is therefore at
tached to the discussion relative to 1T.
State Secretary Montgomery has re-
ceived a list from many of the lodges
throughout the state of those who will
represent their lodges at the meeting.
