The recent decision of the grand sire
that the possession of an official certifi-
cate properly made out and signed is
sufficient authority for any noble grand
or chief patriarch to communicate the
annual travelling password TO the holder
gives the certificate an advantage which
the regular visiting card does not possess.
No matter how well informed the holder
OF a visiting card may be, he cannot, un-
der any circumstances, visit Odd Fellow
lodges out of his own jurisdiction with
out the annual travelling password. This
difference will be considered at the next
session OF the Sovereign Grand Lodge.
Possessing a travelling card should not
bestow superior privileges.

necessary. and instruction given not only
in the motions but in correctly wheeling
