THE members of tho Ionic Lodge held a mosfc successful meeting on Tuesday , 9 th Dec , afc tho Masonic HaU , Kulangsu , for the purpose of installing AVor . Bro . H . A . Giles , H . B . M . Consul , as their Master for the ensuing year . A number of visiting brethren from the fleet honored them with their presence , indeed one of the most pleasing features of this meeting was the attendance of several Blue Jackets , and thia goea far to prove the trite saying thafc in Masonry
" all meet on the level and part on tho square , " for here we acknowledge no class distinctions . Tho noble Hall thafc the zeal and liberality of the Amoy Masons has given to this little island was tested to its fullest extent , and we heard nothing but praise as to its splendid fittings , and the perfection of its acoustic properties . Several very handsome donations were made to the Hall Fund . The wife of
one of our prominent Masons made the Lodge a present of a set of magnificent markers for the Volume of tho Sacred Law ; another gift was two excellent engravings of Her Mosfc Gracious Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and the late Prince Consort , both loved Patrons of tho Noble Order . AVe are glad to find thafc Bro . AV . C . Howard , AV . M . elecfc of the Sister Lodge—the Corinthian—received the
hig hest honour ifc was in the power of the Ionic Lodge to bestow ; he waa elected the first honorary member of tho Ionic aa a slight acknowledgment of hia invaluable services in the building of this splendid Hall , and we are sure the compliment will be appreciated by his own Lodge , and that the year thafc has been ushered in so successfully will be one of great progress and of renewed effort in
promoting the benefits of brotherly love and good fellowship amongst our little community . The new Masonic Hall on Kulangsu was again lighted up and thrown open to all brethren of the " Mystic Tie" on Saturday evening , 13 th Dec . Tho occasion was thafc of the installation of Bro . Howard , Harbour Master afc Amoy , and Junior Warden of the Corinthian
Lodge , as Worshipful Master for the ensuing year . A large number of distinguished Masons were present , no less than five P . M ' s occupying the dais , among whom were most of the brethren from tho sister Lodge and many officers from the British and United States' navies . The absence of the Ling Feng from the port ; was much regretted
entailing as it did the absence of her Commander and four of her Officers . However , in spite of this and other unlooked for contingencies , the Hall was well filled and a worthy object of admiration to the numerous visitors . Wo hope to sco ifc " warmed " before long in a manner creditable to the well-known hdspitality and liberality of tho Craft .
Worshipfnl Bro . H . M . Sidford P . M . of 1027 , 1433 , and 1781 E . C . and D . G . S . W . for Hong Kong and South China , in writing to us from the Far East , says : — " I am glad to tell you that we have made great progress here since Masonic light dawned upon Amoy , a short year and six months ago . Nofc content at hiring rooms , the Craft set to work , and have erected a splendid building devoted solely to
Masonry . The Lodge Room is fifty feet by twenty-five , and has an open vaulted timbered roof , and refreshment , preparation , and other rooms in proportion . " As soon as tho place is thoroughly finished , ho hopes to have a photograph sent to somo of tho London illustrated papers . He has enclosed tis several reports of proceedings which may prove interesting to some of onr readers , and we are sure
wherever Bro . Sidford resides , there will the lights bo found burning brightly . He haa done well for the Craft , as witness tho formation of fonr Lodges in China , tho outcome of his exertions , namely , Tuscan 1027 , in Shanghai in 1864 ; Doric 1433 , in Ching Kiang in 1873 ; Ionic and Corinthian 1781 and 1806 in Amoy iu 1878 . If he was to form yefc another , he wonld doubtless complete—what we imagine is his intention—the Five Orders of Architecture .
