John the Evangelist , No . 1483 , and Industry , No . 1405 . The Lodge having been opened at the appointed time with prayer , the Acting District G . M .
then stated the object of the meeting . The R . W . D . G . M . was introduced , and the District G . Secretary read the patent of appointment by the M . W . G . M . of " Marmaduke Ramsay of Mean Meer in the East Indies , Captain Bengal Staff Corps , & c , & o ., & c , " to be District Grand Master of
the Punjab . The R . W . officiating Dist . G .

congratulated the Dist . G . M . elect , and the Dist . Grand Lodge on the choice of their new ruler , the officiating D . G . il . proceeded with the ceremony with all the usual formalities , after which Dist . G . M . Ramsay was duly obligated and enthroned , and received the congratulations of all present ..
D . G . M . Ramsay then addressed a few words of thanks , and also drew a short sketch of the Dist . G . L . He showed that the District was founded inl 868 , in accordance withapetition addressed to the M . W . G . M ., and Bro . Mercer was installed as Dist . G . M . on 12 th March 1869 . There were at that time
only seven Lodges in the district , and the number of subscribing members was 217 . By the end of 1869 two more , the Indus and Multan , had been added . In 1870 , Light of the North came into existence . Next year no addition was made , and Lodge Phoenix was placed in abeyance .
In 1872 warrants were issued to Lodges Jumna and Mayo , while in 1873 no less than six Lodges received or applied for warrants . None were added in 1874 , but on the 31 st December of that year the number of subscribing members on the rolls was 483 . Thus in the short space of
about 7 years since the district was established the number of Lodges had increased from seven to seventeen , and the number of members from 217 to 463 . Nor is this the sum ' of the progress that has been made , for every Lodge had been visited in the course of the last two years by one or
other of the District Grand Masters , and in every case the report was most satisfactory . The District Graud Master then drew attention to the Masonic Institution of the district . This commenced with Lodge Hope and Perseverance , and took its present shape in 1871 . The v . r ( position
was brought forward by Wor . Bro . Basevi , wh > was then D . G . S . W . at the D . G . L . meeting held on 11 th January of that year . We then received 4 , 000 rupees from the Lodge Hope and Perseverance , and by i ! ie end of last year such additions had beon made as brought it to nearly
13 , 500 rupees , of which 12 , 800 rupees were invested . This enabled them to educate four boys , two ; tt the Bishop ' s school at Simla , and two at the Labor *< High School .
