They performed their duties during the ceremony of Installation of the Duke of Sussex and thereafter continued their duties throughout the Country. This they undertook by both receiving delegations in London as well as travelling to various Lodges. There are no written records of the many meetings held and formally attended by Brethren invited from all parts, to agree and assist in working on an accepted format for the ritual.

The activities of the Lodge of Reconciliation culminated in a rehearsal meeting which was held on 20 May and than, on 5 June, the proposed ritual for the three degree were performed 'live' by members of the Lodge of Reconciliation before an ' Especial Grand Lodge '. The United Grand Lodge formally adopted the proposed and amended ritual with only two alterations in the third degree.

What those alterations were remains an intriguing mystery. The Lodge of Reconciliation completed its duties within a few months and ceased to exist. Stability and Emulation. Following on the footsteps of the Lodge of Reconciliation two very early and important schools of instructions were established. In the Stability Lodge of Instruction was founded, some of its members having been associated with the Lodge of Reconciliation.

The School continues to meet today, if with somewhat dramatically different ritual, under the sanction of Stability Lodge No. It should be noted that there is no Lodge that can claim to be practising the original ritual as recommended by the Lodge of Reconciliation. There is no record of what exactly the recommended ritual approved by Grand Lodge consisted of.

The second of the long standing schools is the famed Emulation Lodge of Improvement which, contrary to common belief, is sanctioned by the Lodge of Unions No. It is interesting to note that the Emulation ritual, though practised by many English Lodges and yasha beresiner biography of william hill in foreign countries, has no form of official sanction from Grand Lodge.

This in spite of the fact that it is the Emulation ritual that is used in the opening and closing of Grand Lodge at its quarterly Communications. Its program of rehearsals of the degrees and lectures are published in advance so that members of the Lodge can attend and rehearse according to their need. We should remember that the original concept and practical purpose of the Lodge of Instruction was to preserve the oral nature of our ritual.

In the early days, well passed the Union ofthere was no such thing as a Book of Ritual. The first such book, an official ritual accepted as a lodge manual, is attributed to George Claret, mentioned above, which was only published in Exposures versus Ritual. It is rather ironic that before that date, freemasons used Masonic exposures - publications disclosing the supposed secret activities of the Masons - as ritual books.

The fame of this booklet lies in that it reports for the first time on the Hiramic legend as we practice it today. It discloses in great detail and in the form of a catechism, all three degrees. Masonry dissected went into three editions in eleven days. Not because it was of great fascination to the general public but because freemasons themselves were snapping the book up!.

A blessing to the Preceptors of the time and to every serious ritualist. Within the context of exposures and ritual books, the question has often arisen as to when does a ritual book become an exposure, i. The answer lies in the recognition that there are only two secrets in freemasonry, namely the words and signs of the obligations leading from one degree to the next.

Thus if any of the words are spelt out or the signs described or illustrated, the book must be considered an anti Masonic exposure, intended to improperly publicise our ritual. Where dots or dashes, without illustrations or descriptions of the signs, substitute the words, the publication can be seen as intended for use by the fraternity at large.

As I have indicated at the start of this paper, in England all meetings of Lodges and Schools of Instruction are official. They have to keep minutes, which must be presented on demand to an authorised body, be it Grand Lodge or the Worshipful Master of the sponsoring Lodge. The sponsoring Lodge takes responsibility for the activities of its Lodge of Instruction.

The Lodge of Instruction is an institution in its own right. I will recommend every Brother, whether experienced or a neophyte, to attend and enjoy those aspects of freemasonry that can often only be conveyed in the informal and important environment of a Lodge of Instruction. Introduction In England, the Lodge of instructions is a way of life for thousand of Masons, dispersed through the Country.

Early Concepts It would be nice to revert to the practices in much earlier days, for instance in York, where we find the first evidence of time being set aside for learning. In a resolution of the Ancient Society of Masons of York datedit states: '. Illustration 17 Caption Preston Please send Image William Preston, who has been called the father of our modern ritual, was a Scotsman born in Edinburgh in Preston teacher and businessman William Preston was a printer by trade and continued as such during his lifetime, achieving the standing of Assistant Grand Secretary to the premier Grand Lodge, as a result of which he provided services he would otherwise have been denied.

The following advertisement appeared in a leaflet circulated by William Preston in that same year, Bro Preston, desirous to remove the present difficulty of gaining
