OF
UNION LODGE NUMBER 108,
UNDER DISPENSATION FROM THE GRAND LODGE
OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF
PENNSYLVANIA
This Lodge has power and authority to make from time
to time local bye-laws and new regulations, for their own particular benefit,
and the good of Masonry in general; provided always that nothing therein shall
be inconsistent with the regulations of the Grand Lodge of this state, and that
the ancient Land-marks be carefully preserved; and provided also that such
regulations be duly proposed in writing for the consideration of all the
members, and be at last duly entered, with the consent of the majority.
The Officers of the Lodge (the senior and junior
deacons and tyler only excepted) shall be elected by ballot of the majority of
the members present, on the Lodge night next preceding the anniversary of St.
John the Eva. In each year; and in case of vacancy by death or total absence, a
new election shall take place at the next meeting of the Lodge thereafter; which
election shall stand until the next annual election ensuing.
Of behavior in the Lodge while open: at the third
stroke of the Master’s gavel, there shall be general silence; and he who breaks
silence without leave from chair, shall be publicly reprimanded. Under the
same penalty every brother shall keep his seat, and not move about from place to
place, while the Lodge is open, except the Wardens as having more immediately
the care of the Lodge.
No brother is to speak but once to the same subject
of affair, unless to explain himself or by leave of the Master.
Every one who speaks shall rise and keep standing,
addressing himself in a proper manner to the presiding officer; nor shall any
presume to interrupt him under the aforesaid penalties; unless the Master find
him wandering from the point in hand, and shall think fit to reduce him to
order; for then the speaker shall sit down. But after he has been set
right, he may again proceed if he please.
Whoever shall be so rude as to hiss or make any
disrespectful gestures at any brother, or at what another says, or has said, eh
shall be forthwith solemnly excluded the communication, and declared incapable
of ever sitting again in this Lodge, till another time he publicly owns his
fault, and his grace be granted.
No motion for a new regulation, or for the
continuance or alteration of an old one, shall be made, till it be first handed
in writing to the presiding officer, and after it has been by him perused, the
thing may be moved publicly, and then it shall be audibly read by the secretary;
and if it be seconded and thirded, it must immediately be committed to the
consideration of the whole assembly, that their sense may be fully heard about
it; after which the question shall be put pro and con.
If in the Lodge any member be twice called to
order, at any one assembly for the transgressing these rules, and is guilty of a
third offense of the same mature, the presiding officer shall peremptorily order
him to quit the Lodge room for that night.
The opinion or votes of members are to be signified
by holding up of hands, that is one hand each member; which uplifted hands the
Wardens are to count, unless the number of hands be so unequal as to render the
counting useless.
Nor should any other kind of division ever be
admitted among freemasons. In order to preserve harmony, counters and a
balloting box shall be used when occasion requires.
While this Lodge is open for work, no member shall
hold private conversation or committees, without leave from the Master; or talk
of anything foreign or impertinent to the work in hand; nor act ludicrously
while the Lodge is engaged in what is serious and solemn, but every one shall
pay due deference and respect to the officers and fellows of the Lodge.
Every brother found guilty of a fault, shall stand
the award of the Lodge, unless he appeals to the Grand Lodge.
No private piques or quarrels about nations,
families, religion, or politics, shall be brought within the door of this Lodge.
When the Lodge is closed, the brethren may enjoy
themselves with innocent mirth; but avoiding all excess and compulsion, both in
eating and drinking, considering each other in the hours both of labor and
festivity as always free. And every brother shall be perfectly at liberty
to retire when he pleases.

Every person desirous of being made a freemason in
this Lodge, shall be proposed by a Master Mason who is a member thereof, who
shall give an account of the candidate’s name, age, quality, title, trade, place
of residence, description of his person, and other necessary requisites.
Such proposal shall also be seconded by some one or more members, who likewise
know something of the candidate; and such proposal shall also be made in Lodge
hours at least one month before initiation; unless it shall otherwise be
determined by the voice of the Lodge. The brother who proposes a candidate
shall at the same time deposit two dollars in the hands of the treasurer of the
Lodge; which sum shall be forfeited to the Lodge if the candidate should not
attend according to his proposal; but to be returned to him if he should not be
approved or elected. In case he be elected, he is to pay in addition to
his deposit, eight dollars into the funds of the Lodge, for passing two dollars
and for raising to the sublime degree of a Master Mason three dollars.
Every candidate after having been proposed as
aforesaid, and approved, shall if he request it, have the perusal of the by
laws, and also the Warrant or dispensation of the Lodge, and also a list of the
members thereof.
No person shall receive more than one degree at one
sitting of the Lodge, urgent necessity excepted. And no one after
receiving the first or second degree, shall be passed or raised, except he hath
his lesson perfect. Every brother after being initiated, passed or raised
shall within three months after repeat their lesson in the Lodge unless it be
otherwise determined by the members present.
No visiting brother shall be admitted in the Lodge,
except he be first strictly examined by a committee to be appointed by the
presiding officer, who shall afterwards administer the test to such visiting
brother, if he be approved by the committee, unless he is regularly avouched for
by a member of the Lodge.
This Lodge shall assemble for work once in every
Lunar month, and oftener if cases of emergency require it. There shall not
be more than five new brethren made at one time, unless by dispensation of the
Grand Master.
If the Lodge be convened at the particular request,
and for the purpose of doing business for the benefit of any particular brother
or brethren, he or they shall defray the expense of such extra Lodge.
At the closing of the Lodge, before the brethren
retire, the steward shall make out a bill of the expense of the evening, and
receive of each member his proportion thereof; until a store of necessaries
shall be provided by the Lodge. If a visiting brother should be present a
second time, when a store of refreshments are provided by the Lodge, he shall
pay his equal proportion with the members of the Lodge.
The Committee of Charity of this Lodge shall
consist of all the officers thereof, who are to hear all petitions, and to order
such relief to distressed petitioner as their case require, and prudence direct.
All collections, contributions, and sums of money
for charitable purposes, given or belonging to the fund of this Lodge, are to be
deposited in the hands of the treasurer, or such other person or persons as the
Lodge may specially appoint, no part of which must be disbursed or expended on
any account, without an order from the Committee of Charity, signed by the
presiding officer, and countersigned by the secretary, after being approved by a
majority of the committee then present, and entered in their transaction book,
with the name or names of the person or persons to whom the same is given.
If a complaint be made against a brother by another
brother, and he be found guilty, he shall stand to the determination of the
Committee of Charity, or the Lodge, there being in all cases a right of appeal
from the Committee of Charity to the Lodge itself. But if the accuser or
complainant cannot support his charge, he shall incur such penalty as the
committee shall see cause to inflict leaving their privilege of appealing to the
Lodge itself.
A book shall be kept in this Lodge to contain the
bye-laws, the names of the members, with a list of all the lodges under the
Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, and united in general communication, with the usual
times and places of meetings of such lodges.
