The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-12-28

The pitcher bears the following inscrip-
ton
Presented to Andrew Brown,
retiring W. NJ of
Hawaiian Lodge, No. 81, F. and A. NJ,
Dec. %, 1898,
as n token of fraternal esteem
and appreciation
from Brethren of his Lodge.
AT the conclusion of the installation
ceremonies the members of the lodge
formed in line and marched to the
Arlington House, where an elegant ban
quet had been prepared. The dining
room was tastefully decorated with
Masonic, Hawaiian and American flags,
ferns, palms and flowers, and under the
deft hands of the ladies of the house
had been turned into perfect bower of
beauty. Plates were laid for sixty and
every seat was filed, and after short
invocation by DIR. Macintosh the menu
bers made an onslaught on the tempting
viands laid before them. Turkey,
chicken and duck, cold meats and
salads of all kinds rapidly disappeared
down hungry throats, but the supply
was not nearly exhausted. If the genia |
host of the Arlington has one fault more
than another it is that on an occasion of
this kind he supplies more edibles than
it as usual.
When all were satisfied Past Master
Phillips arose and asked those present
to fill their glasses and drink to 1.-THE
Past Masters of Hawaiian Lodge and
called on Brother Macintosh to respond
Speaking for himself and not for his
brother past masters, Mr.. Macintosh
said tnHt he thought past master was
considerable of a nonentity and gave
some humorous reasons for so thinking.
He thought there should be more emu
lation among the brethren to obtain that
degree. In conclusion he thought Ma.
sorry should be made more of a social
order than it is, and hoped the members
of the order in Honolulu would make a
good use of their beautiful new home,
and earnestly asked the members, one
and all, to put their heads together,
exercise all their faculties and make the
order power in the community.
| Past Master Phillips next proposed
the health of the newly elected master,
Judge Cooper, who responded in short
speech, in which he detailed his ex.
periences both as poet and farmer in
San Diego county, and told of case in
which he had once acted as judge, jury,
prosecuting attorney, complaining wit
ness and, in fact, in every capacity ex.
cept that of defendant, and what hard
time he had in winning the case.
| The next toast was that of "Our Re
firing Master" Past Master Brown, in
reply. said the experiences of the even
| ing had simply knocked all ideas out OF
his head and that, in place of making q
speech, he would give recitation. Mr.
| Brown then recited '"rhe Building OF
! - l,fF .at l..
/ plaudits of his hearers.
Other toasts were "The Wardens OF
of Hawaiian Lodge" responded to
briefly by Colonel Soper 1.-THE Other
Officers of Hawaiian Lodge" by Brother
Williams "Our Sister Lodge LIE Pro
gres," by Brother Sherwood "Our Wis
iting Brethren" by Brother Armstrong
Smith of Phoenix Lodge, England, anC
Masonry Throughout the World" by
Past Master T. G.. Porter.
In replying to the latter toast Mr.
Porter said that the subject was so vas
that Brother Paul Isenberg might hav,
been more appropriately selected t
speak on it. Masons were numbered
throughout the world by millions; Their
were millions of them in China alon
and three quarters of a million in tn
United States. So numerous were the,
that they might be likened to the leave
of the forest or the stars in the stella
depths of the universe. One and all o
them everywhere acknowledged tn
Fatherhood of God and the Brother
hood of Man. The one thin
above all others in Masonry tina
commended itself to all was its match
less charity. He asked, "Are you
Mason?" and answered by saying, "'rhe
be proud of it,
"The Ladies' was the next toast pre-
posed by Mr. Phillips, and he called o
Brother Grossman to respond, which h
did in his usual felicitous manner
The last toast of the evening was IT
All Poor and Distressed Worthy Maste
Masons Throughout the World" Thi
was drank III silence,
Shortly after /, o'clock Worth
Master Cooper stated that the next req
lar meeting OF the lodge would TAX
J place on Monday next, and asked thos
J present to Join hands and sing "Aul
Lang Syne,' after which the meetin
broke up.

time was had, Messrs. Brown and Wi
