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, Union No, i was instituted at St Catharines in April, 1861. This was followed by the institution of Frontier Encampment No. 2, at Windsor, • and Harmony, No. 3, at London, in 1366; Brant, No. 4, at Brantford; Charity, No5, at Stratford and Beaver, No. 6, at 'St, Marys, in 1868, and on the peti- tion of these six Encampments, the Grand Encampment of Ontario was in- stituted at Hamilton on August 6, 1869, James Woodyatt, P. G, M., being the first Grand Patriarch. REBE1 AH ASSEMBLY At the session of the Sovereign Grand 'Lodge, held in 1851, the Re- bekah l3egree was adopted.

Laws for the government of grand and subordinate lodges and encampments were adopted and pro- vision made for four subordinate Grand Lodge jurisdictions with one GrandEncampment for the entire ter- ritory, but this was later changed and the Order 13. N. A was divided into eight provinces as follows: Toronto, Kingston, Montreal, Quebec, Frederic- ton, Halifax, Charlottetown and New- foundland. Decline and a Revival On July 22, under the new form of government, the Grand Encampment of Canada was organized by Grand and oils, being sponsor for it. He had Sire Hamilton been , ember or the rarer for only , but it was not until November 15 that the first provincial Grand Lodge was organized for the district of. Quebec. The Order later 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 Grand Lodge, under proclamation of the Grand Sire, 'who had visited Can- ada. This was followed by dividing the territory into three districts.. Under this arrangement the conditions of the Order were much 'improved. short time himself, but was an enthus- iastic one.
