A Catholic Church Built By Freemasons.
ceremony took place on 12 fch April 1888 . We never had such a J festival . Ten missionaries , eight deacons , and all the Seminarians were present . Nothing was wanting . We had a procession , a Pontifical High Mass , a sermon by the pastor , another one by the Bishopand finally a nice dinner . The Christians of the village had
, undertaken to provide dinner for the Seminarians , and the good people spent t Ue > preceding night in fishing . Their efforts were rewarded with au abundant catch of fish , so that the yoang Seminarians enjoyed a bountiful meal . I forgot to mention that the Japanese mining company were
extremely kind to us on this occasion . They own a steamboat which plies between the island and the city . For that day they gave a free passage going and coming to the Fathers and Seminarians . Our party amounted to sixty persons . The Japanese director of the mine was present at the
ceremony , and , although he is a pagan , he behaved with great decorum . Our good people were proud and overjoyed . Eighteen years ago they were hunted like wild beasts and thrown into prison
on the slightest suspicion of Catholioity , and on that day we had Japanese guards to maintain order daring the ceremony of dedication . Truly our good Lord has ways of recompensing sooner or later , those who suffer for Him !—Weekly Register .

— : o : — THE GOULD TESTIMONIAL . To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICW " . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —At the close of last year a movement was set on foot to recognise the highly meritorious services * of Bro . E . F . Gould P . G . D . as the historian of the Craft . The Pro Grand Master , the Earl of Carnarvon , kindly consented to
serve as Chairman of the Committee , and among the members are many Provincial Grand Masters , Grand , and Provincial Grand Officers and Brethren . A circular , inviting co-operation , has been sent to the W . M . of every English Lodge , and inasmuch as the value of Bro . Gould's
labours has not beeu confined to this country , it was thought that the brethren of foreign Masonic jurisdictions s ould be invited to participate in \ he movement , which has accordingly been done through the medium in each case of their respective Grand Masters . Many Lodges and brethren , both at home and abroad , have already
responded to this appeal , and some time must of course yet elapse before the spirit in which it will be received in foreign Masonic jurisdictions can be fnlly ascer ained . In tbe meanwhile , however , the success of the Testimonial will be placed beyond the possibility of a doubt , if the brethren wbo have ,
up to the present moment , signified their intention of subscribing to it , will exert their personal influence io recommending the scheme to the favourable not-ce of their friends , and of tbe various Masonio borlies with which they are connected . Besides his unequalled merits as a Craft historian , Bro . Gould has been a diligent worker in
several of the leading decrees of Freemasonry . Initiated as far back as 1855 , he has been thirty-two years a Royal Arch Masoa and Knight Templar , and thirty-one years a member of the Mark degree . The Qoatuor Coronati , No . 2076 , was the fifth Lodge of whioh he
became the W . M . He is a P . Z . of Chapters Nos . 92 aud 570 , aud was a founder of three Preceptoriea ( iu one of which he filled the chair ) ia the far East . His Masonio record , therefore , goes to show that he has been active alike in the ritual and ceremonial of Masonry , as well as being the
foremost worker in its literature and history . It may be reina-ked that the sum of one guinea haa been fixed as fche maximum , and nofc as tbe minimum subscription , for individuals , and that the m-.-nes of brethren will be coidially welcomed on the
Committer , who may be disposed to collect any smaller sum .- * , ana forward their lists for incorporation wifch fche general fund . Also , the smwliesfc sums will be thankfully received from any individual brethren who are desirous of forwarding their contributions to me direct .
It will be evident , that though fche testimonial mast necessarily be allowed to run until a sufficient time has elapsed for replies to come in from abroad , it cannot remain open for an indefinite period . Hence the influence of brethren who are favourable to the movement would be most usefully exercised by their impressing upon intending
subscribers the absolute necessity of despatch . By this means the Committee would be greatly assisted in bringing their labours to a closp , and with a lesnlfc which they confidently anticipate wonld , under such circumstances , mark in the most satisfactory manner possible the general esteem and regard entertained for our Bro . Gould by his Masonic brethren .
