What Seems to Have Been the sign of Mr. Pike. (CON CLUDED.) To the Editor of Tue Bre: Having at- tempted in my letter last week to show up Mr, Pike and his methods of working some- what (they could be extended aimost indefi- nitely), we come to the present time. Mr. Pike, sceing the Cerneau body increasing in strength and importance, resolved on a last resort, and laid his plans to capture the grand lodges, grand chapters and grand commanaeries of the different states. How he has succeeded in his designs can bs seen by the edicts that the grand masters of sev- eral states have issued, and who, in nearly all cases, ure members of the southern aud northern jurisdictions, or expect to bs for services rendered, and who must, according to the secret constitution, obey all orders. Now hotv has this conspiracy against the mas ter masons of the United States been carried out! Why, by a most disgraceful and un- masonic mothod, that of laying plans to put only their men in as officers of subordinate bodies aud then the grand bodies, and this they huve successfully carried out, until at this writing they control nearly every grund lodge and grand body in the United States. irethren, look to vour grand bodies aud see if it is not true, what I say, that in overy such body there is a little ring, in what may be called the ‘‘amen coruer,” which rules the destinies of the erand lodge. De- It is composed of the past grand masters, e-tenths of whom are Thirty-second or hirty-third degree members., And I be- lieve it to be a fact that very few of these men received the Scottish Rite degre~s in a lodge after petition ballot and so forth in a regular munoer, but by having the degrees given to them by communication, anywhore and everywhere. Two past grand masters that 1 know of have been requested to “‘come up to headquarters” and the receiving of these degrees “'will be made easy for you.” Ob, tempora! Oh, Moses! and yet the Pike men never peddle degrees. Ob, no. An- otner of their taking ways 18 to pick out men who are “bright” and ballot for them; the brother 18 then notified to come forward and tako the degrees. Ahem! Alus! How is this, brother master masons? It is generally understood that when a man joins any soci- ety that it must be of his own free will and accord. Now as regards the carrying a measure through a grand body. It is only of late that master masons have learnted any- thing about the Scottich Rite, and very few care to go_into the question’ of legitimacy. As a brother said to me the other day: I think the grand lcdge ought to have nothing to do with any degrees above thut of master mason. \What do master masons Know about any other than the threc degrees. 1 know nothing about Scottish Rite degrees and wprobably care less.” And by the same token s worthy brother was at one time @ senior grand war- den, but was dropped before becoming grand master, Why? Wast, perchance, because of his open speaking; he always spoke his mind und is a staunch supporter of ancient craft masonry. Now the Pike men offer a resolution to the effecct that nome but a specitied members of other branches of* masonry be recognized, of course naming the two Pike bodies of the Scoutish Rite. ‘I'he majority of the master masouns. as I said before, either not knowing or caring less about the matter, vote for it without question, considering that aresolution offered by a master mason suf- ficient, aud trusting to his honor as such, not dre: o1 course, that this was but a part of & concerted plan. Now I ussert that a grand lodge and every master wason must stand to and abide by the anciont landmarks, one of which is that there can be no_innovation made in the body of Masonry. (he thres degreos is another landmark, Now a grand lodge which recog- nizes any degree, 1 dow't care what it is, other than tue three degrees of 15, A., I, C. and ) and possibiy part of the Royal Arch de; is guilty of an mnovation and violates an ancient landmark. This is what the Pike men are doing in nearily every state in the union; they have entered into & horrid conspiracy to use the grand lodge officers, the grand lodge interest, and the grand loage funds for an unworthy and uemasonic purpose, namely, that of foisting upon ancient craft masonry an illegitimate body of the Scottish Rite,and, not only that, but itis a body that is d stroying the peace and harmony of the brethren in every state where they have, by their questionable methods of running for 1masonic office, bringing themselves down to the level of politicians, and doing what the master masons, if aware of it, would bring down upon tne unworthy heads of the Pike men the well-merited contempt of the whele masonic world. As u proof of what I have stated, show me an instance where the Cerneau members have created any disturvance. I defy the Pike members to give wea solitary instance; and, more than this, look at New York u day, und some other states, where there are several Scottish Rite bodies meeting, the mewmbers of avhich are found side by side in lodge, chapter and commandery, peace and harmony ever prevailing. No instance can be named where disruption of masonic brotherhood has occurred save where tne inherent rights of Kreemasons have been and only then in such the Pike members have obtained possossion of the grand lodgo offices. Auother very questionable method of Mr. Pike's and followers is to flood the country with pamphlets, taking one grain of truth and covering it up with a mass of untruths, To give iustances would be beyond the limits of Lhis article, but take the committee’s report to the grand lodge of Towa at 1ts lust session—page 8 of the pam- phlet, copies of waich were distributed all over the state of Nebraska, after the grand lodge of Iowa met and before the grand lodgze of Nebraska met—who was creating dis- turbaunces theni They say: **We do not tind any erand lodge of the United States, or elsewhere, or any grand master, has ever recognized Cerneau body of the Scottish Rite as legitimate or duly constituted,nor do we find that any such grand lodge or grand master bas taken any action to prohibit or prevent tue conferring of the Scottish Rite degrees by the supreme councils of either the southern or northern jurisdiction of the United States.” Now mark the deception. 1t may be true that no grand lodge or grand master has ever recognized the Corneau body of the Scottish Rite as such, but on Decem- ber 7, 1808, the sovereign grand consistory notified the grand lodge of the state of New York of its establishment and full organiza- tion on October 23, 1807, which notifi- cation was cordiaily received and or- dered ou file (seo grand lodge of New York proceedings, 1805, page 481). There is no such thing as the “Cerneau Body" as such, so you see how the Pike men decelve those who have not studied the his- tory of the Scottish Rite bodies in America- and it is for this very reason that this articl, is written. Do Witt Clinton was grand mase ter of the grana lodge of New York, as were also Robert D. Holmes and Stepbke H, Johnson. There are three graud masters who Were members of the Cerneau Body. And it is quite true that we do not find any grana lodge or grand master prolbiting the south- ern or northern jurisdictions from conferring the Scotusll Rite degrees, for very good rea sons. First, because until Pike got contro’ of nearly all the grand ludf«u, master mal sons in grand lodge assembled have confined themselves to grand lodge business, which does not inclada the bolstering up of illegiti- { then worked the second degree with Captain mate Scottish Rite bodies, neitner have they in the pastpronibited thie supreme council for the United States from conferring the Scot- tish Rite degree, for the same good reuson. Secondly, they considered the Scottish #ite auestion As not being proper business for a grand lodge to have anything to do with, thereoy taking vattern from and following 1n the footstevs of the grand master of the | grand lodge of Bngland in 1819, as will bs | seon from the following extract. to be found | on page Preston’s Tllustrations of Musoury: “That the address of the2ith of September, 1819, was received by the M. W. grand master sealed, having been trans- witted direct to him} that upon perusal his | royal highness found it to contain questions relative to the order of the royai arch, which could not, under any circumstances, be dis- cussed in the grand lodge.” Note this last paragraph well. the resolutions presented by the Pike men, thev craftily insert, “that we decline to entor upon any discussion or investization regard- jug the legitimacy of the several Scottish Itite bodies,” ete., ete. Then they turn round and declare the southern and northern bodies to be the only legitimate bodies, Now will any honest man tell me how A naster mason or unyone clse is to decide between us, with- out investization and discussion. If the master masons aro to judge us, thon thoy must first hear tho evidence; if_they decline to hear the cvidence, or i other words, to do what the Pike members do not want them to do, numely, 1nvestigate, then they must not judge us. 1" most master rights earnestly mason to stand by as master masons, and to put themselves in the place of the Cerneau members, and 48k themselves this question, s this matter brought before grund lodges, in the intercst of the blue lodges or in the interest of & rite entively foreign to them, and in the interest of illieiti- mate’ bodies trying to defeat a rival body, and the only legitimate one in the United States! Master mason, you who do not belong to any Scottish Rite, must set- tlo the question. Suppose your grand muster should by edict attempt to compel you to do violence to your manhood and obligations, in direct opposition to what you wero 1ost selemnly told before vou becamo a mason! Suppose your grand master was a membe and agent of one Masonic iusurance com- pany, which only takes master masons into memoership, and that you belonged to another Masonic insurance company, with the same restriction as to membership, and that he was to 1ssue an edict compelling you to withdraw from your company, and to join his on pan of expuison? What would you think of such a maut Would you obey his order! “Slaves may be so made and cocrced, but men nover!” Masons should not be deceived tney should read all sides of tho question, and look well into matters before deciding. “Thne Pike men are making a great fuss about our sovereign grand commander visit- ing the college of riteson his visit to France in 1888, 'They trv and make out that it was the grand lodge section of the grand orient which he visited. He says not, and asks the very pertinent question, Canuot one Scot- tish Rite member visit another Scottish Rite member, even although the grand lodges have interdicted master masons from visiting blue lodees under the obedience of the grand orient? If Brother Gorgas visited the grand orient or a blue lodge (asa master mason) why does not his lodge or the grand lodgo prefer churees against him? Is not this the same old scheme of Pike's men to decline the uninformed by playing on the words *grand orient?’ Now do you see through their scheme? If Gorras hus done wrong, it is no reason why Land all the other members of our order should be punished for his fault (if any). Why 18 1t that th late_turn-coats from our order should until now, before denouncing the act? 3 kuew it in June, 1555,as well us thoy do now Itis because they were sore-headed over fancied sights, and were more casily manip ulated by the Pike men. ‘I'he grand ori in its relations to the several degrees, is mot easily understood, hence it is casy for Pike mon to state the affair in such & manner as to place Brother Gorgas in a bad light, Now, Brother Gor- gas states that he visited the couneil of de- Iberation of the college of rites of the grand orient; that his visit related to Scottish | masonty orly, and that he refused to vis sywmbolic lodge in Paris, and that the tions of our body with the grand college of rites in France arethose of one Scothsh Rite body with another, and are wholly mdepend- ent of symbolic masonr Mr. Peckham, in his letter, gives this visit of Brother Gorgas as his reason for withdrawing, and gives the names of the grand orient oflicers and of the members of the council of the ovder; also, the officers of the grand college of rites. Some of the brethren are officers of the grand orient us well as officers of the college of rites, which is the Scottish Ritc body, and this, he says, shows beyond controve they are members of ana owe allegianc: the grand orient. Wus therc ever s shullow protest given for such a traitorous proceeding! Cannot w brother be au oficer in the Blue lodge, in the chapter, in the com- mandery and the Scottish Rite body at the same time! Why, you see it is do; bt hero all the time. Now the sovereign g commander of the grand colleg rites may also be a blue lodge he member or he could not be Mason, that is certain, Knights Tomplar in lowa, we will suppose, com mit and all the Kuights Templars ited States arenterdicted frow vis- z in Towa, or an lowa Kuight Tewplar from visiting outside of lowa, does this af- fect any other body than the Inights Templar! I guess not. Master Masons or Royal Arch Masous of any state could visit lodges or chapters in lowi unless probivited by their several grand bodics. At presont masons cannot visit blue lodges in but Royal Arch Masons or Scottish Masons could, This is v plain, brethren, “The truth is mighty and must pre- vail.” We realize thut our’ ovligutions us master masons aud as_gentlewen, preclude us from calling the Pike members (who are also brother muster masons) liars, dead beats, impostors, renegades, etc., as Albert Pike and nearly ai) of his followers north and south viciously call us, but we will cn- deavor to exercise brotherly loy ief and truth and leave the result in the hands of the Supre id Master of tho universe. It Pike aud his followers choose to cail us names and bear false witness against us, they must reconcile such conduct with their own consciences if thoy can, We remewber that oo contention should ever Arise amongE masons, save that noble cwula- tion of who can best work who best agroee.” appeal to their must a Scottish Rite A O U W Union Pacific lodge, No. 17, will_celebrate its sixth anniversary on Monday, Septemver 80, by giving a public entertainment.
