While tihe essential forms and ceremonies ng of Lonry have not undergone nor admit Sof any chlnge, we all know that it. inter- 11nal organization, and, to some extent, its ith government have been materially altered.

ow In our owm country, more particularly, we have sought to adapt the latter. as far as poasible, to our civil goeminment. Hence ver te nunber of independent Grand Lodges is -one for every State or Territory. tch The result of all this has been that Masonry, ld- as fa its; internal government is comiernEhe ed, ha lo.4 its unity.

Tlk however, we fear, are too often dereic carrying out the spirit of Masonie hcmij ity. How often have we watched astr brother after he has entered a Lodge.r who by his whole demeanor showed thit was a tranger ameong He have been from the far west, or some dis3a region; he knew, probably, but few perae and these only in a business o.an Away from his home, from his family, ho his friends, he may have felt lonely, as sought for companionship.
