routine matters. The sessions were
largely attended and deep interest was
manifested in the proceedings. The

Perhaps the most interesting matter
discussed Wednesday was concerning
the Masonic library at Cedar Rapids.
Sentiment strongly favors the erection
of an annex to the present building and
the purchase Of several lots of land to
make the improvements possible. The
Masonic library is the only one of its
kind in the west and books are received
from all parts of the world. 1t is said
that there are more books treating or
German Masonry in the library than
there are in the whole of Germany.
Members of the grand lodge had their
pictures taken in a body yesterday.
One of the most to lching incidents of
the meeting was the reference made to
the late Grand Secretary Parvin. The.
picture of the latter was draped in
black. and when the grand master
reached a certain part in his address
concerning Mr.. Parvin's character the
portrait was unveiled. The effect was
touching in the extreme.
