The annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of British North America was opened at the Orange Hall, Toronto, Tuesday afternoon, Grand Master N. Clark Wallace in the chair, The Grand Master, in his annual address, reviewed the condition of the Order, and declared itto be very satisfactory. Ho con- demned vigorously the movement set on foot by the Catholic Truth Society for the removal of what he regarded as the vital clause of the coronation oath, the promise to maintain the Protestant re- ligion. It was, above all things, notes. sary to guard such outposts of Protest. autism. The Manitoba School question, he said, remained in Math quo. It could not be said to have been disposed of, for the minority wcald no doubt make some renewed effort to secure what they wish- ed, but meantime the question was not before the public. Mr. Wallace in dos- ing referred feelingly to the death of Rev. Lx. uututquy. At Tuesday morning's meeting of tl Ladies' Orange Benevolent Associati the following officers were re elected : Mary Odium, Grand Mistress, Toront Mrs. Wm. Limey, D. G.

Disclaiming any feeling of intolerance, the members of this association must view with alarm any attempt on the pert of the so-called Oatholio Truth Society to ask the Parliament and Senate of this Dominion to petition the Imperial Perlia- ment to have removed from the corona- tion oath that section which makes the Em ire Protestant. The Grand Treasurer's report, sub. witted by W. J. Parkhill, allowed re• combs of 96,880.68 ; disbursements of $2,681.25, and balance on hand, 94,199.48. Grand Lodge dues have been received from every province ander the jurisdic- tion and an inorease of thirty-two lodges during the year.

Hodgette, Grand President ; G. W. Car- ter, Grand Secretary, and Barlow Cum- berland, Past Grand Master, attended and extended a cordial welcome to the Grand Omega Lodge. Grand Master Wallace replied in appropriate terms. The report of the finance committee recommended a grant of 9250 to the True Bios Orphanage, 950 to the St. James' Methodist Church fund, Montreal, and $100 to Rev. H. Cobourn, the blind preacher, of Toronto. All were adopted. The question of the future representa- tion of Grand Lodge was referred to a special committee to be dealt with. All the business before the meeting was disposed of by 8 o'clock in the evening, when adjournment was made to the Hor- ticultural Pavilion, where the delegates were banquetted by the Oily Council. For the place of meeting for next year, invitations were received from Sarnia, London, Winnipeg, Charlottetown, P. E. L, Tredsrioton, N. B., and several other cities and towns. London seemed to be the moat desirable, and after some dis- oussion-the vote to hold the meeting there was made unanimous. The change in sentiment ite Grand Lodge in regard to the temperance ques- tion was iliuetrated by the passing of a . resolution, moved and seconded by Bros. Pate, of Fredericton, N. B., and Schultz, of Balder, Man., that no man ongaged in the. sale or manufacture of spirttuon8 liquors shall be eligible for membership in this Order. A warm discussion fol- lowed the introduction of the resolution, whiuh, however, carried by a email ma- jority. The standing of the present members of the Ceder will not, of oouree, ,3e effeoted, Dr. Noble, of Toronto, introduced the following resolution, which was over. ruled' on a technicality ; "That this Grand Ledge views with eatretne regret the growth of Romanising infiuenoes in the Episcopal Church in the' old land, and more recent] in our fair Dominion and the 'United Mateo, the more so a8 thischorah bas always been considered se the bulwark; of Protestantism, and wo sincerely hope that prompt measures will he taken by the Imperial Parliament and the authoritfee of the church 10 eradicate theta Jesuitical practices], in which can be plainly seen the .reanhivatons of Acme."
