If there be any Lodge under this jurisdiction among the members of which there is not sufficient public spirit and attachment to the principles of the Order to induce them to raise the small annual fee . . . it would be well for such Institution to resign at once . . . the charter which only gives it a name to live while in fact it is dead."
