Some one might ask the question can only one lodge assume the functions
of a Grand Lodge? The answer to that must be emphatically No, and
whatever Lodge assumes the functions of a Grand Lodge then such Grand
Lodge is unlawful and irregular. See Mackey's Masonic Jurisprudence, see
Mitchell's Authority on Masonic Law, see Chase and Preston on Masonic
Law and they all agree that one Lodge cannot assume the function of a
Grand Lodge.
