mines at it's communication, December
l. upon what evening 1T will meet,
which will be necessary to accom-
/ modate its meetings to the open dates
at Masonic Temple, the lodge will be
prepared to carry out its voted inten-
ton to move into Masonic Temple as
it's future home. While the action of
| the lodge seems to meet with a great
deal Of satisfaction on the part of the
temple lodges. the Association Of Wor-
shipful Masters is perhaps not SO
gratified. because 1t will have to seek
another home for itself
For some years the association has met
in the library hall OF Hiram Lodge,
and enjoyed the hospitality of the
lodge in other ways, and the associa-
ton is loath to sever these pleasant rela-
tons, 1t is said.
The memorial services held by Column
bia Lodge, No. 8. Friday evening, served
to revive the memory OF one OF the most
popular members Of the fraternity in the
jurisdiction at the time Of his death.
