Annual Convocation Held at Haven—Report of G. A. Ki New The grand chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Connecticut convened In its 111th annual convocasion at Masonic hall in New Haven Tuesday, the grand high priest, George A. Kies, of Nor- ‘wich, presiding. 'fhera were about 200 members present. The report of Grand High Priest Kies contains the follow- ing recommendations: “For years 1 have been struck with the inconsistency of our system of titles. We style the high priest of a subordinate chapter as ‘most excellent.” Should he be called to an appointive office in this grand chapter. he s shorn of a portion of his title, being styled simply ‘excellent.’ Again, In the grand chapter both the grand high riest and deputy grand high priest called ‘most excellent.’ “With a view of doing away with these and other inconsistencies, I rec- ommend a revision of our regulations 80 as to provide that the grand high priest shall be styled ‘most excellent,’ the remainder of the elective officers of the grand chapter ‘right excellent,’ and the appointive officers simnlv ‘ex- cellent” 1 also urge that the high priest of a subordinate chapter be styled simply ‘excellent,’ the king and scribe, as well as the other officers and members, to be known simply as com- panions.’ In addition, it would seem that the word ‘grand’ should he elimi- nated from the titles of masters of the valls in subordinate chapters. “I have recently recelved a commu- nication from a chapter secretary who is a companion of long standinz and a man of affairs, Masonically speaking. In it he complains of the dificulty of dealing with companions who former- ly claimed exemption from payment of dues under our old regulation which forbade chapters from administering discipline for non-payment, of dues in the cases of companions who maintained good standing in their chapters for thirty or more years. At his request, I mention the matter and suggest that it be again gonsidered. ‘While I have no personal or detailed knowledge as to the difficulties attend- ing this class of cases, it seems to me that, on general principles, companions who have thus borne the heat and burden of the day, whose earning powers have diminished, might equita- bly be given their own eption as to fur- ther payment of dues and that, too, without taking a sort of poor debtor's oath. T recommend ti atter to your careful .conslderatien, beth pro “and contra.” Reports were also submitted by Charles A. Farnham, deputy grand M(h priest; Eugene A. Hall, grand kmd George R.
