To change the by-laws of a lodge, the following procedure should be followed:

1. Prepare a lodge notice containing the notice of motion to amend the by-laws.
2. Draft two separate copies of the proposed amendments.
3. Obtain a certificate signed by the Worshipful Master (W.M.) and the Secretary, under the seal of the lodge, confirming that the amendments were legally carried.
4. Submit one complete set of the lodge by-laws along with the above documents to the Grand Secretary for the approval of the Grand Master.

It is important to note that a Master cannot suspend the by-laws; any changes must be made through proper amendment procedures.
