Excerpt from Action of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts Against Spurious Rites and Degrees and Irregular Bodies (Called Masonic) Sect. 25. Any Mason in this jurisdiction who shall confer, communicate, or sell, or assist in conferring, communicating, or selling, or solicit any one to receive or apply for, any so called Masonic degree or degrees limited to Freemasons, not hereinbefore recognized or admitted, may be expelled from all the rights and privileges of Masonry. For the better understanding of the points in volved in this legislation, the earnest attention of the Brethren is invited to the printed Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of June, 1882, and June, 1883, extracts from which are appended. The able and exhaustive reports of the committees to whom this subject was referred throw a flood of light upon the merits of the question, whether they touch upon law or policy.
