Mr.. NCCandlesS. who arrived IN
Washington today following tour
to temples in all parts OF the ma
ton. in connection with the session
here next June. issued the following
statement:
Finds Interest Everywhere.
. II have been OH tour since
August and | find all along tbs
. line an extraordinary interest in
1 the June meeting. 1t will BE- a
| veritable national homecoming.
find this spirit in every one OF
I the sixty three temples In as many
cities that l have visited thus far,
Most of our people never have
visited Washington. and the fact
that II is the National Capital and
the temporary home of Shrinef
President makes the prospect Of n
, visit here doubly interesting, for he
! will review them as they pass by
THE meeting at San Francisco
was the biggest up to that time
I am impressed with the fact that
the meeting next June will be the
, greatest assemblage in the history
= of fraternalism. Washington may
, well prepare to entertain to the
limit of its power of hospitality.
THE order is growing very fast
having now nearly 100000. While
il is known as the playground for
Masons. and deserves the name. for
we do play and enjoy life as we
go along. we may properly he
proud OF the fact that two years
ago the Imperial Council, through
, the initiatiye of w. Frceland Ken
drick. then imperial potentate. in
augurated the plan for the con
struction of hospitals for poor Grip
: pied children.
Seven trustees were named, who
up to this time. have chosen ten
!, sites, nine of which are In the
! United States proper and one In
, Montreal Three are in full opera
: tion. those at San Francisco, Shreve
port and st. Paul. l believe II 10
the greatest humanitarian work
ever undertaken by any organiza
ton in the world, for any child ur
:, to the age of fourteen is accepted
: for treatment in these hospitals
. without cost, regardless Of race
.
