"Resolved, That this Lodge recommend said petition to the favorable consideration of the Grand Master.
"Resolved, That so much of the first section of the 9th Art. of the by-laws as requires members withdrawing from the Lodge to pay dues for the quarter current, be suspended, and that they, the brethren who have withdrawn tonight, be remitted their dues for the present quarter. Passed unanimously.
" Whereupon the Deputy Grand Master addressed the Lodge, and after having given the Lodge various wholesome advice, concluded by assuring them that in future he would refrain altogether from taking part in the ordinary business of the Lodge."
