Masonic law of Missouri. A compilation of the decisions of the M. W. Grand lodge A. F. & A. M. of the state of Missouri, from its organization in 1821 to 1881.

Preface

In his report to the Grand Lodge, in 1878, Grand Master Ready said :

"A careful examination of our laws, and a comparison of the several constitutional enactments, decisions and resolutions will most conclusively demonstrate the fact that cur Constitutions need to be revised, and I trust so soon as our monetary affairs will warrant the expenditure, a thorough revision may he made. Our laws are voluminous enough; we need no more. It would be well if we would stand still until we have thoroughly studied and digested the laws we now have, before we undertake to enact any more.

The great trouble, however, is to get the craft to read and study the law. In the language of one of my distinguished predecessoi-3, 'If the Brethren would read more and ask fewer questions, all would be well.' "

The preparation of this revision or digest was brought about from these remarks. The manuscript was submitted to the Grand Lodge, at its meeting in 1880, through the Committee on Jurisprudence, and was approved and recommended for publication.

The work is believed to be complete and correct, and it is claimed that its arrangement of matter will commend it to every searcher of the Law and render it pleasant and profitable to read.

Committee of Investigation.

1 . At least one of the members of every investigating committee should have a personal interview with the petitioner, before the committee make their report. This would relieve them of any doubt or uncertainty as to their duty to the Lodge, and prevent such unpleasant consquences as sometimes occur after the petitioner is elected to receive the first degree.

2. The Committee should put a petitioner for the Mysteries on trial for his whole previous life, and their report and the action of the Lodge thereon should be final for past acts except when the candidate has fraudulently withheld matters that would, if known, have caused his rejection. 1870.

4. They may either make a simple report — * * favorable " or ' ' unfavorable ' ' — or they may state in their report what they have been able to learn about the petitioner.

Art. xvi., §25. 1872.

9. A Lodge granting a dimit to a member can only exact dues up to the time of dimission : and if a member has paid his dues in advance, the amount exceeding his dues to date must be refunded, if demanded. 1878.

10. No application for a dimit can be entertained until all dues are paid or remitted. 1871.

11. When a member has in an official capacity become indebted to the Lodge, it is lawful for the Lodge to withhold his dimit, though his dues are paid, until such indebtedness is settled satisfactorily to the Lodge, through charges and trial, or otherwise. 1877.

13. A Lodge may grant a certificate of dismission by a unanimous vote, to its E. A. or F. C, if there are no charges against them, which is equivalent to a dimit and waiver of jurisdiction. If refused, the brother cannot demand a trial.

14. An Entered Apprentice or Fellow Craft, moving from the jurisdiction, is entitled to a certificate of dismission and good standing, if there are no charges against him. 1870.

Sec 25. No Lodge shall grant a dimit to any of its members until all dues are paid, nor then unless the brother de-

clares that he is about to move out of the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge, or to join another Lodge, or assist in forming a new Lodge.

Sec. 27. No Lodge shall permit a non-affiliating Mason (who has continued as such for twelve months) to visit more than three times, nor shall such non-affiliated Mason be allowed to appear in any Masonic procession, or be entitled to Masonic charity, nor shall he have Masonic burial ; and if he still remain non-affiliated, "He shall be deemed a drone in the hive of nature, a useless member of society, and unworthy our protection as Masons."

The bearer of this dimit has asked for it on the conditions of its face, and under the law, and if he remain within the jurisdiction of Missouri, or return to it after having left the jurisdiction, and do not affiliate within twelve months from date of dimit, then all the Masonic benefits conferred by the dimit are null and void, and the bearer hereof not entitled to any Masonic consideration so long as he remains un-affiliated.

Dispensations.

1. It is the law of this Grand Lodge that the officers of a Lodge can neither resign nor dimit ; therefore the Grand Master cannot grant a special Dispensation to elect a Worshipful Master, though the Worshipful Master of the Lodge has removed from the State, and the interest of the Lodge may seem to require it. J 879.

2. The Grand Master cannot grant special Dispensation to a Lodge, authorizing it to confer two or more degrees on a candidate at the same communication. The law expressly states that " no candidate shall receive more than one degree at the same communication, nor then unless he has passed a satisfactory examination in open Lodge on the degree he has already taken." It also provides that the Grand Master shall have no power to suspend any By-law of the Grand Lodge. This very wisely and effectually prevents " emergencies " in this State.

District Deputy Grand Master.

The law regulating the office of District Deputy Grand Master requires the Brother appointed to such office to be a present or Past Master of this jurisdiction. While residence in the district is necessary, Lodge membership therein is not required. If, after appointment to his office, the District Deputy Grand Master dimits for the purpose of gaining Lodge membership in his district, it is not necessary that he should be re-commissioned after such object is attained. Should he remain non-affiliated from any cause, he cannot hold the office, and his successor must be appointed ; nor can he exercise the duties of the office of District Deputy Grand Master while dimitted. Art. vii., §2. 1877.

2. With his dimit in his possession he is no longer a member of the Grand Lodge. If he wishes to dimit from his

Lodge, he should first resign his office as District Deputy Grand Master, in order that his successor may be appointed, and the Craft in the district not left without a supervising officer. 187 1.

2. a. A Lodge can suspend a member for non-payment of dues, while he holds a commission as District Deputy Grand Master. 1S80.

3. A Dist. Dep. Grand Master cannot delegate his authority to another during his absence from the district. The authority to preside over a Lodge of Instruction called by him is vested in him alone. *874.

See Worsh. Mast. 9.

4. There is no membership in a "specific" Grand Lodge, i. e., a Lodge called by a D. D. G. M. to lay corner-stones, dedicate halls, etc., than that of Master Masons in good standing, and the D. D. G. M. has the power to order out any disturbing element, either the one objected to, or the objector, or both. 1873.

5 . District Deputy Grand Masters are required to report to the Grand Lodge the condition of the various halls in their respective districts, as to their safety and security ; and to urge upon all Lodges in their districts, not otherwise provided, the securement of all necessary Lodge furniture and equipments for rendering our ceremonies impressive and instructive ; and to report to the Grand Lodge at each session, the condition of said Lodges, in all these particulars.

6. When a D. D. G. Master receives a Dispensation or Charter for a new Lodge, it is his duty to at once inform such Lodge of the fact, and to open a correspondence with the proper party as to the most convenient time to set them to work. 1872.

See. Gr. Mast. 6.

Jurisdiction 1.

District Lecturers,

1. The D. D. Grand Master shall re=> ceive and cast up the vote given by each Lodge at the election for District Lecturer, and grant a certificate of election to the brother having received the largest vote of the Lodges making returns to him on or before the 10th of December ensuing the election. 1870.

2. The intent of this resolution was not to create a vacancy in the office in districts already supplied with lecturers, but to fill the offices in all the districts as soon as possible, and not to displace those already filled, provided the Craft were satisfied with the Lecturer they had selected. 1871.

3. The delegates to the Grand Lodge, or a majority of them from each Masonic district, shall assemble during each session of the Grand Lodge, and recommend to the Grand Lecturer some suitable brother in good standing, and member of some Lodge in the district wherein any vacancy may exist, to be appointed District Lecturer. Should said delegates fail to make such recommendation, then the District Deputy Grand Master shall make such recommendation, and the Grand Lecturer shall appoint such brother as District Lecturer, if deemed by him to be qualified and in possession of the Masonic work, as authorized and taught by the Grand Lodge, to continue in office during the pleasure of the Grand Master or Grand Lecturer. In the event of the said delegates and District Deputy Grand Master failing, for the period of thirty days after the close of each Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge, then the Grand Lecturer is authorized to fill such vacancies without a recommendation.

4. A District Lecturer has no author= ity to preside over a Lodge of Instruction called by a District Deputy Grand Master. 1874.

Dues.

1. Lodge dues are not due until they accrue — that is, at the end of the Masonic year — no matter what regulation a Lodge may have for collecting its dues. There is no objection to its collecting dues in advance, if the members are willing to pay, but a Lodge cannot exercise acts of discipline for collecting dues in advance. If a member's annual dues remain unpaid at the end of the year, the Lodge may proceed against him for non-payment of dues, as provided by law, without waiting for a year's dues to be a year over due, but it cannot add to his bill of indebtedness to the Lodge a year's dues in advance. 1877. 1880.

See Dist. Dep. Gr. Master 2. a.

2. A Lodge can adopt a By-Law raising its scale of dues without first obtaining the approval of the Grand Lodge.

3. A Lodge has no right to tax its members except in the way of dues, the amount of which can only be prescribed by By-Law adopted in the usual way. It is optionary with a brother to pay a special assessment or not, and his dimit cannot be withheld on account of his refusal to pay it. Art. xvi., §i. 1874.

4. Every Mason, having the ability, should pay his dues. If he is unable to pay, the Lodge should remit them, but no excuse of religious scruples should be received to avoid the requirement of a positive law. 1870.

5. The dues of a member may be remitted upon proper application in writing, or in person, or through a brother cognizant of the inability of the member to pay his dues. 1870.

Amotion to remit upon the statement of such facts, is admissible, and should be entertained by the Master and the vote of the Lodge be taken upon the question.

1870. 1878.

6. If the dues of a member be remitted by vote of the Lodge no reconsideration of such action is legal.

The liability of the member is cancel led by the vote, and the dues cannot again be charged to his account. 1878.

7. When, on a trial for non-payment of dues, the delinquent pleads inability to pay in mitigation of such neglect, and the plea is sustained by an acquittal, such acquittal does not discharge him from the debt of dues then owing, and constitutes no bar to subsequent proceedings for the non-payment of all dues in which the member is indebted to the Lodge. I&11-

8. Dues cannot be remitted by implication. To remit dues the action of the Lodge must be direct on proper motion. 1877.

9. Dues cannot be remitted until they have accrued. A vote to remit a brother's dues "as long as he may continue a member of the Lodge,' ' is null and void.

10. A Lodge cannot, in its corporate capacity, sue a brother for its Masonic dues. 1872.

11. A member cannot be excelled for non-payment of dues. 1869.

12. An expelled or suspended Mason who has been restored, is liable only for such dues as had accrued prior to the date of his expulsion. His Lodge dues re-commence from the date of his restoration. 1878.

See Fees 1. 4. a.

13. Suspension for a definite time for any offense does not cancel dues that accrued before the date of suspension. Dues should not, however, be charged against a brother during the time for which he was suspended. 1 &*19*
