for the respective offices they now
occupy.
On retiring to the ante-room, the
table was found to be tastefully
spread with cold collation.. After
partaking of the good things that
were so literally provided, few
toasts were proposed and responded
to. The toast of the evening was
that of the "newly installed Masters"
proposed by Brother Macintosh,
and responded by Brother Mon
sarrat.
The "Pdst Mdsters," proposed
by Brother Macintosh, was res
ponded to by p. M. Brother L. G.
Porter. In the course of his elo-
quent speech, Brother Porter gave a
brief outline of Missionary from its
inception, as handed down to the
world by tradition. From its first
introduction to the Anglo-SaXon
race at York, England, to the pre-
sent day, Brother Porter gave a
tersc account of how Freemasonary
spread from thence throughout the
wide world. He set forth the bene-
fits that had accrued to mankind in
all parts, and predicted that there is
yet bright future for all good men
who strictly carry out the moral law
inculcated by Freemasonary.
At this point of Bro. Porter's
stirring address, phalaux of bre-
thren from the Lodge lie Progress
arrived, thereby unfortunately, but
at the same time, unwittingly, in
tcrrupting the speaker. Bro. Porter
received rounds of well-deserved
applause whilst he had the floor,
but suspended his address in order
to join in the welcome of the newly
arrived Dretnfen.
The next toast, "The Oldest
Member of the Lodge" was pro.
posed by Bro. Porter, and responded
to by Bro. Paul Neumann, on behalf
of Bro. Greig.
Bro. Neumann spoke in that fell
citous and characteristic manner for
which he is so well known. 1t was
not a political, nor yet was it an
after dinner speech, nor was it even
q legal argument. 1t was genuine
Masonic speech, interspersed with
appropriate and amusing anecdotes,
wit and humor. He facetiously re.
ferred to the unfortunate day or
which he landed on these islands
, how he had been involved in politics
and how pleased he was to find /.

Lodge of California. Bro. Neu

among the brethren, and also BY

, ''The Installing Masters" wa
). proposed by Bro. Paul Neumann
and responded to by. Bros. w. f
Allen and Rev. Alexander Mackin
tosh.
Bro. Allen, in few brief remarks
thanked the brethren for the corda
manner in which the toast had beer
drunk. He said: A period of 2!
years had elapsed since he first sa
in the rooms of the Hawaiian Lodge
and the only one present last even
ing, and who was also present OF
his first introduction to Freema
sonry, was Bro. Greig, the oldes
living member of the lodge. Know
ing that his co-laborer for the time
being, Bro. Macintosh, was pre-
pared to make a lengthy response
to the same toast he would retire il
his favor.
Brother Macintosh, so we'll
known to all the brethren, made ,
stirring address, which held the
brethren spel-bound. After inform
ing the brethren that II years hat
elapsed since he joined the Hawaiian
Lodge, he expounded that beautiful
system of Morality which forms the
