Companion A. W. Johnston, the excellen
Scribe of Columbia Chapter No. ! has found
it necessary, owing to an affection of the
vocal cords, to abstain from any Masonic
work necessitating the continued use of hi s
voice for a considerable period, although the
rest has proven very beneficial and his son or
GUS periods are almost as well rounded at the
present time as when he was in the full en-
joyment Of the resonant tones of his full and
mellow first bass vocalization. AT the meet
ing of the Shrine Wednesday evening he found
1t necessary, with many regrets, to resign his
part in the ritual to Noble David G.. Dixon,
who, however, acquitted himself most credit
ably in the onerous duties of conducting the
timi0 and unwary candidates through the
tangled paths of mystery which surround the
secrets OF the Shrine.
The trembling band of candidates who met
Wednesday evening received reprieve from
the electrocution which awaited them, and
instead of being put through the terrible
ordeal OF the initiatory exercises of the Shrine
they were invited down stairs to partake of
the banquet which Noble J.. H. Trimble had
prepared. The warm weather and absence of
several officers from the city was the cause of
the postponement of the degree. The as
sembled Mobiles did full justice to the repast.

several times before in this column, is attract
ing considerable attention in local circles

communications from brethren outside the
