The members of the Chapter are induced to send forth this hifltcry in the hope that it may be the means of in- citing other Masonic bodies to place on record the many and varied interesting facts that have occurred iti the progress of Masonry in this Province, and which are now only within the knowledge of individual Chapters and Lodges, Thus would those measures which were con- ducive to the prosperity of the Craft in by-gone d&ys be known and appreciated, and being known, would serve to guide the brethren in the further advancement of the Order. Thus would its seasons of adversity— the causes of its decline— be placed ou record, and become a beacon to warn the brethren in their conduct and govern- ment,— enable them to avoid the many shoals and quick- sands that have already and may again impede the pro- gress of our time-honored institution, which, " As some tall cliflf that lifts its awful form. Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm; Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head." On the 14th of February, 1321, a committee was ap- pointed by the Grand Chapter of Upper Canada to draw up a brief sketch of Masonry in this Province, and, although further time was asked and granted at the convocation of the 13th of February, 1822, yet ther^ is no record of the result of their labors, and it is believed that no further action was taken therein. This circumstance is mentioned, trusting that the Pro- vincial Grand Lodge will take some steps towards the preparing a history of Masonry in this Province. For if the Grand Chapter deemed its history then of such importance, how much more interesting -of how much greater importance— must be the history of Craft Ma- sonry — the germ from whence the Provincial Chapters have sprung— especially at this period, when Masonry is fast attaining that position to which its principles entitle it. That under the government of the Provincial Grand Superintendent the Chapters of Canada may prosper, and within their respective spheres ever perform their allotted work of "labor and love," is the fervent wish of The Companions of The Ancient Fkontenac Chapter. i %^ HISTORY. •t^v The organization of this, the oldest Chapter in Canada West, took place at the Freemason's Tavern, then stand- ing on the corner of King and Barrack Streets, Kingston, on the 7th of June, A.D. 1797, under and by virtue of the warrant granted on the 20th of November, A.D. 1795, by the Right Worshipful William Jarvis, Grand Master of the Province of Upper Canada, to Lodge No. 6, on the Provincial Registry, Craft Lodges at that period assum- ing to themselves an inherent right and power to hold a Chapter and confer the degree of Holy Royal Arch Mason, as is evident from the preamble, to that effect declaratory, to "the revised Rules and Regulations of the Holy Grand Royal Arch Chapter, confirmed at a Grand Chapter, held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, London, on the 6th of April, A.D. 1791." And indeed so intimately connected was this Chapter with Lodge No. 6 that, at a convocation held on the 15th of February, A.D. 1806, a charge was preferred against a Companion member "for unmasonic conduct, in striving to separate the Holy Royal Arch Chapter from the body of No. 6." It is worthy of remark that until A.D. 1809 the three Chiefs or Principals were styled respectively H.P., S.K.I., H.K.T., and those degrees termed the intermediate were not even then considered necessary previous to exalta- tion. In the fifth and eighteenth Sections of the By. 6 Laws of this Chapter, revised and confirmed on the 19th of April, A.D. 1805, commencing with this declaration, •'That this Chapter, as established by virtue of the warrant of Lodge No. 6, now held in Kingston," we certainly find mention made of "The Mark, the Past, and the Most Excellent Masters' Degrees," but there is no record of "The Most Excellent" being given until the convocation of the 17th of April, A.D. 1801, or that "The Mark" was conferred in this Chapter until the convocation held on the 20th of July, A.D. 1818. Appar- ently these de^'rees were taken at the option of the can- didate for exaltation, and as there was an attendant ex- pense, few of the brethren availed themselves; and, in many instances, they were conferred on Companion Members. The deijiree of Past Master was conferred in the Craft Lorlge— the working of the Chapter requiring the candidate ("a Geometrical Master Mason") to have passed the Chair, which, as a general custom, prevailed until A.D. 1813. It is now, however, considered essen- tial, and in all Chapters deriving their charters from the Supreme Grand Chapter of England a Master Mason of twelve months standing is considered eligible for the honors of the Royal Arch. In the year 1797 the fee for exaltation in this Chapter was fixed at one pound and five shillings currency, which was increased to two pounds currency at the convocation of the 22nd of January, A.D. 1803. About the end ot the last century many brethren were exalted when only seven Royal Arch Masons were pres- ent; and however singular this may now appear, yet on examining "the revised Rules of the Grand Chapter," before referred to, a full copy of which is inserted in the Minute Book of this Chapter for the year A.D. 1797, we find "that no Chapter can be convened to make Royal Arch Masons within thirty miles of London unless six regularly registered Royal Arch Masons be present," I 1 ■Hi >,v M which, considering the then small number of Com- panions in this Province, may have guided this Chapter in such procedure, and "e.x necessitate rei'um" warranted the practice. On the 16th of October, A.D. 1801, the Chapter was moved from the Freemason's Tavern and met temporarily at the house of Companion John Darley, now the residence of the Town Major, in Eideau Street. On the 16th of April, A.D. 1802, it again met at the Freemason's Tavern, from whence, on the 15th of October following, it removed to the house of Companion Lewis, then standing near the foot of Queen Street, where its convocations were held " until a suitable hall could be procured." The Chapter having, at a great expense, fitted up a hall, with "an arched ceiling," in the house of Com- panion Patrick, then standing in Brock Street, met there trom the 15th of July, A.D. 1803, until the 21st of Jan- uary, A.D. 1809, after which date it was held in the hall of St. John's Lodge. Considering the small size of Kingston fifty years since the Chapter progressed most favorably. The records of the year A.D. 1802 show that thirty-four Companions were subscribing members, of which number twenty-five had been exalted in this Chapter. Between A.D. 1802 and A.D. 1809 sixteen brethren received the degree of Eoyal Arch Mason. As a gratifying instance of the high masonic position taken by this Chapter at an early date, and an evidence of the interest felt for the welfare of the Royal Craft in this Province, it may be mentioned that, at an emergent convocation held on the 19th of July, A.D. 1805, a me- emorial to the Grand Chapter (in connection with "The Ancient Grand Lodge" in London) was unanimously adopted, praying, amongst other matters, "That a Pro- vincial Grand Chapter should be established at King- ston," which memorial was ordered to be transmitted 8 tbrongh the proper authority, with an accompanying letter to the Provincial Grand Master. As these docu- ments not only set forth the position of the Chapters in this Province, but also state the peculiar circumstances which induced this action, they become of interest, and hence are transcribed verbatim from the records: — " To the ^fost Excellent Grand HP., Principal Grand Cliiefs and Companions comprising the Grand P. A. 0. of England : "We, the H.P., Principals, and Companions of a R.A.C. holden at Kingston, by the Warranty of Lodge No. G, on the Registry of Upper Canada, beg leave to memorial you, our Most Excellent Companions, on the following 8uV)ject: - ••Whereas a Provincial Grand Warrant was granted (many years since) to our well-beloved Brother and Com panion William Jarvis, Esquire, by the Grand Lod.nro of England, for the establishment and promulgatioii of Ancient Freemasonry in the Province of Upper Canada, and that by virtue of this Warrant upwarJs of twenty Lodges have been established in this Province. On the authority of some of the Warrants of those Lodges R.A.C. have been opened, how many we are not able to say, for reasons which we shall show. •'We sincerely regret an apparant want of order and energy in them; we say apparent, because, for the want of that which we are about to solicit, actual proceedings are not generally known, and it is no one's business to enquire. To remedy this, and to make other necessary provisions, it is the earnest desire of many R.A. Masons in this Province, more particularly the members of this Chapter, that a Gvnnd R.A.C. be established in the Pro- vince, for under the present arrangements we have no- where to make our returns— no authority to direct, in- struct, and command an uniformity of proceeding (a thing extremely necessary in a country newly peopled by per- sons of different nations)— no authority to take cogni- zance of any violation of the principles of this degree, when the violation appertains solely to this degree; for there are certain cases wherein an investigation cannot take place even in a P.G. Lodge, but the jadgment of a private Chapter must be relied on, from whence there is no appeal. "We presume an establishment of this kind would ^1 i 9 f 800D angment the number of Chapters in this Province. We acknowledge ourselves at a loss how to accomplish a thing so desirable. "In Feb. 7, 1804, it was moved in P.O. Lodge to es- tablish a Grand H.A.C. in this Province. The same was carried in ihe affirmative, York being the seat of Gov- ernment; and when the P.G.L. was held it was thought expedient to have the Grand B.A.G. established there. The Companions of the Province looked with pleasure and anxiety tor its accomplishment. Eighteen months have now elapsed, and nothing done. We learn that the Companions at York acknowledge themselves inadequate to the task, and there the business rests. "We ask in whom is vested the prerogative of estab- lishing a Grand it. A. C. in this Province? If in the P. G. L., we shall again apply, that some other place may be appointed. But if the prerogative rests with you, and you should deem it proper, we humbly solicit your perujiKRT.on and Kanction, by a written instrument, em- poweriug some individual, whom our P. Grand Master sbull nominate, to establish a G.R A.C. in the Town of Kingston, County of Frontenac, Province of Upper Canada. "Should either of those proceedings be unconstitu- tional we trust that you will have the goodness to correct our mistake and direct our procee.lings. If it should appear to you expedient that the different C. in the Pro- vince should be convened, and out of that Convention to form a G.C., we would answer that the local situation of the different C. in this Province renders it almost im- practicable, owing to the great distances and bad travel- ling. "The Province of Upper Canada being a Province of His Britannic Majesty, we being liege subjects, and working as Masons under and within the jurisdiction of tbe G.L. of England, through the medium and sanction of a P.G.L., we conceive an establishment Himilarfrom the G.R.A.C. (if such can be) would be conducive of good. "We expect this will be accompanied with a letter from the P.G. Master on the subject, whether we are corrector not. Ho by your favoring us with an answer it will highly gratify, and much honor, your faithful Companions. "July 19th, 1805." 10 The letter sent with this memorial is as follows : — "Right Worshipful Sir and Brother: "We, the H.P., Principals, and Oompanions of the R. A. Chapter, held at Kingston, being very desirous, with other B.A. Masons, for the establishment of a Q.C. in this Province, and finding by letter from the Represen- tative of No. 13, in P.G.L. to that body, that the Oom- panions in York, appointed to establish a G. B. A. C, confess themselves inadequate, without pecuniary aid — we are desirous (and pronounce ourselves capable) of having that honor, and would pledge ourselves io the performance ; but fearing that an application to the P. G. L. might give umbrage to our Companions at York, with your permission, we would therefore beg leave to address the G. Chapter in England. Supposing, how- ever constitutional it may be to receive authoritv from the P.G.L., that it is not less so from the G.B.A.C. We hope not to be construed in this attempt as wishing to infringe on your prerogative ; but we presume that an establishment coming from the G.B.A.C. of England (more especially at this time of division,) will have a more serious impression on the minds of other Chap- ters. •'We regret '^hat we cannot have the honor of recom- mending you as presiding officer, if it is to be held at Kingston, because of the inconvenience in your attend- ing, and we know of no such officer as D.H.P. If you can get over those difficulties, nothing would be more gratifying to our feelings or give so great a sanction to our application ; but if not, you will have the goodness to nominate and recommend one whom you shall deem worthy and sufficient. "We here enclose a copy of the memorial for your perusal. You will please to make your comments, and if approved, give your sanction, without which we shall not proceed. We therefore shall wait your answer. If our proceedings shall meet your approbation, we hope our memorial will be accompanied by a letter from you on the subject of the G.B.A.O." The records of the convocation of the 19th of October, A.D. 1805, mention that the Provincial Grand Master wrote in answer, "That the memorial could not be for- i » 11 warded, as it was derogatory to his prerogative," bnt m stated, " he would send authority to open a Grand Royal .1 Arch Chapter at Kingston." It does not appear that any attempt was further made to accomplish this object ; he, no doubt, being after* wards informed that such power could not be delegated to any Provincial Grand Master. At the convocation held on the 18th of January, A.D. 1806, a dispensation was received from the Provincial Grand Master to hold a Holy Boyal Arch Chapter at Kingston, for twelve calendar months ; being the first step towards this Chapter working under a warrant separate from that of the Craft Lodge. Judging, however, from the records, this dispensation, not being further noticed, did not meet the object of the memorial, nor had it the desired e£fect, for after A.D. 1806, although the Companions used still to meet, yet the working was not carried on with the same Masonic zeal, and there is every reason to believe that, after the 2l6t of January, A.D. 1809, this Chapter had ceased to meet with any regularity. During the war of A.D. 1812 the Chapter lost several of its members, and active military duties in the defence of this Province contributed, in a very great measure, to prevent the Companions assembling in con- vocation. From A.D. 1809 to A.D. 1817 there are not any records of proceedings. During this interval, how- \ ever, Lodge No. 6 met and worked regularly. Generally speaking, throughout this Province Royal Arch, as well as Craft Masonry, was dormant from A.D. 1812 to A.D. 1817; and in how deplorable a condition must the Order have been when the adjourned* Grand Convention of Free Masons of Upper Canada, held at Kingston, on the 8th of February, A.D. 1819, issued such ■•■The first meeting of the CoDTention was holden at KingstoQ, Q7th August, 1H17. 12 a strong exposition as the following, extracted from their printed circular of that date : — "We, the undersigned, delegates from the Lodges of Free and Accepted Masons hereafter mentioned, having met in General Grand Convention, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of the Graft in this Province, hereby make the following exposition of the motives which, at this critical juncture, actuate us :— Upon the death of our late Grand Master, the Pro- vincial Grand Lodge of Upper Canada expired, and for several years previous the operations of said Grand Lodge, by unforseen difl&culties, were suspended, its concerns were neglected, and Masonry was fast sinking into anarchy and confusion. The consequence of this state of things was seen by many of the members of this Convention, but it was out of their power to remedy the evil. The death of our Grand Master left us a disjointed body, and, from want of subordination, the subordinate Lodges which continued working without any restraint were rapidly declining, as is too frequently the case where no power exists or is exercised to enforce adherence to the genuine principles of the Oriler. Bad members had gained admission into the Lodges, and the pure prin- ciples of Masonry were so profaned by their conduct that worthy men stood aloot in many instances, perhaps thinking Masonry the cause of such conduct, or, at least, that it did not prohibit it. Irregularities in working had crept into Lodges from want of proper correspond- ence, and from having no official head to which they could apply tor the lectures. The effect of such pro- ceedings, of which this is but a faint picture, was per- ceived by the Lodges ; and several being sensible of our rapidly declining state, did choose delegates to meet in Grand Convocation, to deliberate upon proper measures for the correction of existing evils," &c., &c. Such being the position of Masonry after the year A.D. 1812, it is pleasing to state that the Companions of this Chapter were the first to devise measures to check the irregularities which had crept into the Order, and whilst they were desirous of placing the Provincial Chapters under a governing body, and thereby carry out the wishes of this Chapter, as expressed in the memorial ol al ol ol I 13 their ■•s of A.D. 1805, yettheapathy evinced by the higher Masonic authoritien in this Province was still tresh in the mem- ories of the Companions, and too plainly warned them of the inutility of applying in that quarter for redress. Hence a determination was formed to raise from amongst the Provincial Chapters a superior governing body. Ac- cordingly, on the 27th of August, A.D. 1817, three Royal Arch Chapters (this being one), "with the sanction of a numerous and respectable meeting of Companions from the respective Chapters holden in this Province, and countenanced by the presence of many visiting Com- panions, formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of establishing, and hereafter holding, a Grand Royal Arch Chapter of U|>per Canada, at Kingston ;" it being then conceded that whilst the Provincial Grand Lodge should hold its meetings at York (now Toronto), Kingston should be the seat of the Grand Chapter. On the 19th of February, A.D. 1818, the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Upper Canada was formed and duly conse- crated. The following Companions were then installed: — RODERICK McKAY, as M E H.P. ♦WILLIAM COTTIER, as M E.K. ZIBA M. PHILLIPS, as M E S. ♦BENJAMIN OLCOTT, as Grand Marshall. , *JOHN W. FERGUSON, as Grand Recorder. ♦ROBERT WALKER, as Grand Treasurer. The Grand Chapter at once issued dispensations to all those Chapters which had been working under the sanction of the warrants granted by the Provincial Grand Master Jarvis to Craft Lodges, and thereby made the Chapters in a measure independent of the respective Lodges with which they were formerly connected. In this particular, and indeed in the manner of forming a Grand Chapter, the Companions were evidently guided by the usage I * The OompauioDg who were memberi) of this Chapter. I 14 then prevalent in the United States, and to whose Chap- ter working they entirely conformed, for henceforth in this and other Provincial Chapters the Principals are styled H.P., K., S., and "the intermediate Degrees" are made indispensable before Exaltation. The Boyal Arch is now styled in the records of this Chapter " the seventh Degree." On the 25th of March, A.D. 1819, the Boyal Arch Chap- ter of Upper Canada granted a Charter to John Butter- worth, as H. P. ; Benjamin Olcott, K. ; and Thomas Smith, S, ; designating this Chapter "The Frontenao Chapter, Number One ;" being in confirmation of the Dispensation under which it hud been working since the 9th of February, A.D. 1818. . The Chapters acknowledging the jurisdiction of the Grand Chapter in the year A.D. 1819 were— The Frontennc, No. One, meeting at Kingston. vo Ernestown. Brockville. York (Toronto). Haldimand. Belleville.* Union, No. Two, Sussex, No. Three, St. John's, No, Four, Fidelity, No, Five, Friendship, No. Six, Judging from the circular issued by the Grand Chap- ter on the 8th of February, A, D, 1819, the Frontenao Chapter must have been in a flourshing condition, for the receipts of this Chapter for one year, as returned, amounted to fifty-four pounds and three pence cur- rency. The fee for Exaltation, including the Mark, Past, and Most Excellent Master Degrees, was raised to three pounds and ten shillings currency by the Bj'^-Laws con- firmed on the 11th of May, A.D. 1818. Having now a superior governing body, whose con- * Ou the 15th February, 1820, a Warrant was granted to Hiram Chapter, at Ancaster, Gore District. .^ i f ci C( Chap- the 15 vocations were regularly held, and whose deliberations, judging from the Grand Chapter records, were actuated by a proper Masonic spirit, this, as well ap the various Chapters, prospered in a very great degree. The late Judges Hagerraan and Cartwright were officers of this Chapter, and the records bear witness to the zeal of Companions Marshall S. Bidwell, then the Speaker, and Hugh C. Thompson, a member of the Legislative Assem- bly of Upper Canada. Many brethren of wealth and re- spectability were exalted and enrolled as members; and such was the standing of Frontenac Chapter, that breth- ren, residents of the adjoining Counties, pressed forward, eager to attain the summit of Ancient Masonry ; and when found possessing the necessary q^uulifications were duly received. Since about the year A.D. 1812 surmises had gradually arisen as to the legality of "the warrants" granted by the Provincial Grand Master Jarvis, who held his appoint- ment under a charter granted the 7th of March, A.D. 1792, by the Duke of Athol, the Grand Master of "the Ancient York Masons," and merely had the power under such charter "to issue dispensations for the holding of Lodges, and to continue in force for the space of twelve calendar months, and no longer." From this circum- stance, with the fact that, as by the death of Provincial Grand Master Jarvis, no successor being appointed, the Provincial Grand Lodge had ceased to exist, the majority of Lodges working under such warrants, in Grand Con- vention at Kingston, on the 27th day of August, 1817, deemed it necessary to petition the now United Grand Lodge of England for a Provincial Grand Lodge; but owing to the circunstauce that amongst the records of the Grand Lodge of Ancient York Masons, delivered to the United Grand Lodge at the union in 1813, there could not be found a copy of the Grand Warrant granted to Brother Jarvis, proof was wanted that those persons 16 forming the convention were a regular body of Masons. The difficulty at that date of communicating with the mother country was so great that It was not until the year 1822 that the United Grand Lodge issued authority to form a Provincial Grand Lodge, and appointed the Hon. Simon McGillivray Provincial Grand Master. On the 22nd day of September, A.D. 1822, a charter was granted by the United Grand Lodge of England to Lodge No. 6. designating it as St. John's Lodge, No. 758, Eng- lish Registry. The Grand Chapter of Upper Canada a few years after expressed a desire to place themselvesuuder the Supreme Grand Chapter of England, for at the annual convoca- tion held at Kingston on the 10th of February, A.D. 1824, the following resolution was passed : — "Upon motion of Companion Dean, seconded by Com- panion Ferns, (H. P. of the Froutenac Chapter,) it was resolved. That this Royal Arch Chapter become amenable to the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of England for our proceedings, and that discretionary correspon- dence be opened by the Rev. and M.E.G.H. Priest with the Supreme G.R.A. Chapter of England, through the R.W. Provincial Gran^ Master, Simon MeGillivray, Esq., requesting the attention of the S.G.R.A. Chapter to the R.A. Chapters subordinate to this G.R.A. Chapter, and requesting the appointment of a Grand High Priest under the authority of the Supreme G.R.A. Chapter, for the government of this Grand Royal Arch Chapter." From an opposition on the part of some of the officers of the Grand Chapter of Upper Canada it appears this resolution was prevented from being carried out, and hereafter no record is found of any action being taken thereon. The spirit of enquiry had, however, been set on toot, and as the Craft Lodges in this Province had already received confirmatory charters from the United Grand Lodge of England, many of the Chapters were desirous of obtaining charters from the Supreme Grand I .^, CI ti^ 17 f .«,. Chapter, nnd of placinpj themselves under that jurisdic- tion. It is pleasing to record that the Frontenac Chapter was first among the many private Chapters to take steps to- wards that object, and in the year 1827 the Companions began in convocation to entertain grave doubts as to the validity of Chapters established under a Grand Chap- ter whose origin was derived from the now "con- d. uned" Jarvis warrants, and, at all events, reasonably questioned the right to form an independent Grand Chapter in a Province under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Grand Chapter of England. This feeling spreading through the other Chapters, with the then existing anti- Masonic excitement, caused the Grand Chapter of Upper Canada to discontinue its regular meet- ings, and in the year 1828 its authority ceased, in a measure, to exist. This circumstance caused the ques- tion of validity to be again agitated in the Frontenac Chapter, and at a convocation held on the 3rd of August, 1828, Companions Bethune, Thomson, Gordon, and Ha- german were appointed "a committee to prepare a me- morial to the Supreme Grand Chapter of England setting forth the position of this and other Chapters in this Pro- vince, and praying for a charter." Which memorial, though at once drafted, was not adopted until the con- vocation of the 4th of May, A.D. 1829 ; the delay being occasioned from the Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Upper Canada having "promised that the Grand Chapter should resume its functions, and that the apparent difficulties should be at once removed." Such promise was not, however, carried into effect ; and al- though there is every reason to believe that some time in March, 1830, the Frontenac Chapter forwarded the memorial, yet there is no minute of any answer having been received thereto. Doubtless from this circumstance —from the uncertain position of "The Chapter Warrant," 18 and the prejudice against the order then so strongly prevailing—it was deemed advisable to close, and after the 14th November, A.D. 1830, the Frontenac Chapter did not meet. Even at that date many Companions, members of the Grand Chapter of Upper Canada, i. otsisted in the validity of the Grand Chapter, and, of course, some Companions in private Chapters coincided with tLem. These Com- panions used still to hold convocations of the Grand Chapter ; but as its authority, having been questioned, had become nominal, it existed henceforth merelv ip name. That the Frontenac Chapter had for some time previous to its closing conformed to the system approved by the Supreme Grand Chapter of England is apparent, for in the records the three principal ofl&cers are styled respectively Z., H., J. The names of the other officers as adopted in 1818 were changed, and the Chapter had re- solved "That the intermediate Degrees were not con- sidered necessary previous to exaltation," thereby merely returning to the working of this Chapter as pursued at the end of last century. There were fifty-five brethren exalted in this Chapter between the years 1817 and 1830, and twelve Companions joined during that period. The greatest number of exaltations that took place in one year was in 1825, when twelve brethren received the Royal Arch Degree. For nearly seventeen years had this Chapter lain in abeyance, when bright days again shone on the Boyal Craft ; and St. John's Lodge, which had ceased to work in A.D. 1833, was, in A.D. 1843, revived under the most auspicious circumstances. The number of this Lodge on the English Registry was, by authority, changed, on the 3rd of December, A.D. 1844, to No. 491. Craft Masonry again flourishing in this city, there were many brethren desirous of attaining the summit of I 19 Aucieat Masonry, who were compelled, at great expense, to obtain the Degree either in Chapters in the United States, or at a distance. Hence these brethren, when exalted, felt the necessity of re-opening the Frontenac Chapter, and thereby affording facilities to the numerous body of Cratt Masons in this city. Accordingly, on the 3rd of May, A.D. 1847, the Charter of 1819, being i:: the possesion of St. John's Lodge, was revived, and the officers inducted by virtue of a dispensation granted on the 24th of April, A.D. 1847, by Z. M. Phillips, the last G.H.P. of the Grand Chapter of Upper Canada. Such a change, indeed, had seventeen years made in the ranks of the former members of this Chapter that only one of the Companions who belonged to it in the year 1838 had survived to be present and assist at the revival on the 3rd ot of May, A.D. 1847. That Companion was the late Sir Richard H. Bcnny- castle, then commanding the Royal Engineers in Canada "West." He was elected first officer of the Chapter, but a short time only did that worthy Mason preside, for in November, A.D. 1847, a severe loss was felt in his death, and the records bear witness to the sorrow evinced, and are a lasting testimony of the esteem in which he was held by the Companions as a man and a Mason. The Chapter being now re-opened, the Companions became desirous of carrying out the intentions of the former members as recorded during the years 1829 and 1830, and were anxious to place themselves under proper jurisdiction. To that end, on the 15th of February, 184.S, they memorialized the Supreme Grand Chapter of Eng- land, setting forth the position of this Chapter, and praying for a charter, which memorial was duly for- warded through the Hon. Peter McGill, Provincial Grand Superintendent, who granted on the 20th day of March, 1848, his dispensation. On the 2nd of August, A.D. 1848, the Supreme Grand 20 Chapter of England was pleased to grant, free of expense, a charter of Constitution to Companions Thomas J. Angel , Z. ; Francis Milo, H. ; Michael Harrington, J. ; Samuel D. Fowler, William R. Davies, James A. Henderson, W. J. Goodeve, John Shaw, and William Kearns, designat- ing this Chapter "The Ancient Frontenac Chapter at- tached to St. John's Lodge, No. 491," English Registry. At the same time it was decided to conform strictly to the system of work as revised and settled after the union of the Grand Lodge of England in the year 1813, not deeming the intermediate degrees necessary to exaltation ; yet, when the Companions wished to be in a position to visit Chapters in the United States, where the knowledge of the Mark, Past, and Most Excellent Master's Degrees is required, they are given gratuitously by the Compan- ions of the Ancient Frontenac Chapter, under the au- thority of the old warrant of 1819, which it still preserved by them. The Mark Degree will, however, in future, be conferred in the Craft Lodge, as the Grand Lodge of England, at its last session, held on the 5th of March, 1856, has legalized it by the following resolution, unani- mously agreed to after an investigation by a joint committee of the Grand Chapter and Grand Lodge: - " That the degree of Mark Mason or Mark Master is not at variance with the ancient landmarks of the Order, and that the degree be an addition to and form a part of Craft Masonry, and consequently may be conferred by all regular warranted Lodges under such regulations as shall be prepared by the Board of General Purposes, ap- proved and sanctioned by the Most Worshipful Grand Master." On the 20th day of February, 1849, this Chapter adopt- ed, in regular convocation, the present by-laws, in lieu of those framed and adopted in the year 1847. They were duly confirmed by the Provincial Grand Superin- tendent. ]»r(] tNV< in{ tavl £31 of cei i t 21 'i I I The Chapter has since it reorganization steadily im- proved in numbers urn] influence; as a proof of which, twenty-four brethren attained the Supreme Degree dur- ing the years 1854 55. Among the present members are ranked Companions residents of Chatham. Toronto, Trenton, Belleville, Napanee, Bath, Broekville, and Ot- tawa. The fees for exaltation were in 1849 raised from £3 lOa. to £5, which sum includes registry in the books of the Grand Chapter of England and Grand Chapter certificates. From the year 1848 till the year 1850 the Chapter held its meetings in the honise adjoining the old Commissariat Of&ce, in Ontario Street. The whole premises were ex- clusively occupied by the Chapter. It being found in- convenient that the Chapter should be held in a building separate from that of the Lodge to which the Chapter is attached, it was unanimously deemed advisable to remove and hold the convocations temporarily in the hall of St. John's Lodge, in the stone building on the corner of Brock and Wellington Streets, where, until November, 1853, the Chapter was convened ; when the room im- mediately over St. John's Lodge, previously occupied by the Leinster Lodge, being vacant, the Companions leased it, and at a very considerable expense fitted it up in a manner suitable tor the working of the Royal Arch, and in which room the Chapter has since been continuously held. On the 29th of May, 1856, First Principal Fowler, with Past First Principals Henderson and Angel, at the re- quest of the Companions of the Town of Belleville, pro- ceeded to that place, and opened a Royal Arch Chapter, called the Moira Chapter, under a charter from the Su- preme Grand Chapter of England. This Chapter is at- tached to the Belleville Lodge, No. 496 on the Registry of the United Grand Lodge of England. Companions J. C. Franck, S. S. Finden, and A. A. Campbell were re- spectively installed into the chairs of Z., H., and J., as n 22 authorized by the charter. The Frontenac Chapter feeling fi deep interest in its well-being, pre-.ented the Moira Chapter with several articles of necessary furniture and paraphernalia; hence the Companions were enabled at once after the consecration and installation to proceed with those duties incumbent on them as Royal Arch Masons, and five brethren of Belleville were exalted to the Supreme Degree of the Royal Arch. This Chapter, which goes into operation under the brightest and most cheering auspices, is truly an offshoot from the Ancient Frontenac— the three Principals and all the petitioning members resident in Belleville hailing from the Ancient Frontenac as their mother Chapter. It is much to be desired that ere long the Companions of Ottawa and Brockville, following the good example set by the Royal Arch Masons of Belleville, will in their respective towns establish that Order which alone enables thu possessor to acquire the knowledge so indispensible to a proper understanding of Ancient Misonry, and to a due appreciation of the beauties of the Craft. The following are the only Chapters in Canada West working under charters frim the Saprem-^ Grand Chap- ter of England: — The Ancient Frontenac Chapter, Kingston. St. Andrew's Hiram Ionic St. George's Moira Toronto. Hamilton. Toronto. Loudon. Belleville, Such is an outline of the history compiled from the the minutes books in the archives of this Chapter, which have been carefully preserved. The records of the Grand Convention of Upper Canada and of the Grand Chapter of Upper Canada, which aro in the possession of this Chapter, have f'.iruiMiiod many interesting facts which do not appenr in the minute books covering correspond- ing periods. 23 The members with siLcere gratification bear witness to the fact that, despite the many unfavorable circum- stances under which this Chapter from time to time may have been placed, it has rallied, and occupies among the Chapters on this continent an honorable and dignified position. May its permanency be secure— may it never again be subjected to those fluctuations and vicissitudes which heretofore accompanied the working of the Royal Cralt in this Province; and may the Coiupanioas of "The Ancient Frontenac Chapter" ever bear in mind, that by adhering to those principles so sv.olimely inculcated during exaltation, and by zealously observing the follow- ing by-laws, they will be enabled to transmit to their successors, as indeed is their bounden duty, '* An Honorable and Unblemished Charter." I AMALGAMATION OF ANCIENT FRONTENAC AND CATARAQUI CHAPTERS. Ancient Frontenac Royal Arch Chapter, No. 491, at- tached to J^t. John's Lodge, on October 24th, 1859, severed their connection with the Grand Chapter of England, and from that date worked under a charter from the Grand Chapter of Canada under the style Ancient Fron- tenac Royal Arch Chapter, No. 1. In the year 1868 the Chapter made arrangement to move to another room in connection with Cataraqui Chapter, No. 12, and Ancient St. John's Lodge, No. 3, and Cataraqui Lodge, No. 92, in the building on King Street built and owned by Companion R. Town. They, with the other bodies above named, fitted up the rooms in a suitable manner, and the Chapter has increased in quite a satisfactory manner. There was always a ieeling that it would be more to 24 the interest of Craft Masonry that an amalgamation be- tween the two Chapters shouhi be made. After a num- ber of attempts had been tried, which spread over quite a length of time, tbey all failed, until the latter part of the year 1885. A number of the Companions were de- termined to bring about an amalgamation. So after they had several meetings of committee appointed by the Chapters, they finally recommended the basis whereby this amalgamation should be formed. The consent in writing was obtained by all the Companions of both Chapters and confirmed by both Chapters. An applica- tion was made to the Most Excellent Z., who very kindly took an encouraging view of our request, and granted a joint warrant, under the name and style "Ancient Frontenac and Cataraqui Royal Arch Chapter, No. 1," and the officers were duly installed and invested by the Most Ex. Grand Z., Thomas Sargent, on Friday evening, March 19th, 1886. J I I 25 OF 'Mncienb p'ronbenaG and Gaba^aqui 6[)apbeip» No. 1. NAME. 1.
