ENCAMPMENT BRANCH
The Grand Bncei npment a popular
branch of the Order, had its birth
in 1846. The desire so inherent in
man to surpass others and reach a
higher pinnacle than that attained by.
the mass of his fellowmen has to some
extent found vent in the Encampment
branch, In the early days of the Or-
der, the lodge was the only forth of
organization, but as time passed and
the Order developed, the Encampment,
Patriarchs Militant and other degrees
were added.
In Ontario- the first Encampment,

followed by the institution of Frontier

November 15 that the first provincial
Grand Lodge was organized for the

suffered somewhat of a weakening and
the almost- total collapse in Canada
has been attributed to the failure on
the part of 'many of its members to
fully understand its true aims and ob-
jects, regarding it merely as a source
of pleasure and amusement. Jurisdic-
tion over the British provinces was'
resumed by What is now the Sovereign
