jurisdiction he may be residing, is a point on which there is no doubt.

Immoral conduct, such as would subject a candidate for admission to

rejection, should be the only offense visited with expulsion. As the
punishment is general, affecting the relation of the one expelled with the
whole Fraternity, it should not be lightly imposed for the violation of any
Masonic act not general in its character. The commission of a grossly
immoral act is a violation of the contract entered into between each
Freemason and his Order. If sanctioned by silence or impunity, it would
bring discredit on the Institution, and tend to impair its usefulness. A
Freemason who is a bad man is to the Fraternity what a mortified limb is
to the body, and should be treated with the same mode of cure he should
be cut off, lest his example spread, and disease be propagated through the
constitution.

Expulsion from one of what is called the higher Degrees of Freemasonry,

such as a Chapter or an Encampment, does not affect the relations of the
expelled party to Blue Masonry. A Chapter of Royal Arch Masons is not
and cannot be recognized as a Masonic Body by a Lodge of Master Masons
by any of the modes of recognition known to Freemasonry. The acts,
therefore, of a Chapter cannot be recognized by a Master Mason's Lodge
