Chovevi Zion.-Lovers Of Zion.

CHOVEVI ZION .- LOVERS OF ZION .

Formed for the purpose of establishing Colonies of Jews in Palestine and the Neighbouring Countries . The CHOVEVI ZION has purchased , as a first step towards the attainment of the obje ; ts of the Association , a tract of Land in Gilead , situated on the borders of Hauran and Jaulan . This land is 2401 acres in extent , and it is

proposed to settle th-ie . m 50 Families to form the First Colony . The cost of the land is £ 2000 , and the bulk of this amount has already been paid . Funds are now required to complete the purchase and to provide Houses , Implements , Young Trees , Seeds , a Few Head of Cattle , and also the means of sustenance for the Colonists during the time that must elapse before the

Settlement can become self-supporting and the Settlers can commence to repay the outlay incurred for them . The land purchased has been most carefully selected as eminently suited for colonisation . It is well watered , and adjoins lands purchased by Continental Colonisation Societies , with whom our Society will act in concert . , No difficulty is anticipated from the Turkish Government ,

which , while prohibiting the influx of pauper immigrants , raises no obstacle lo the establishment of properly organised Colonies in a portion of the country which is at present sparsely populated . The Society of CHOVEVI ZION appeals to all wellwishers of Israel to help this work . Every Jew and every Christian ought to assist this Society to find a permanent home for the outcasts of Israel in the land which is dear to

both alike . We want help to found a home for our people in a land where they can return to the service of the soil and be free from the ever-haunting dread of persecution . To all who believe that Israel's destiny is indissolubly bound up with the land hallowed by the history of a glorious past and the promise of a greater future , and also to those whose feelings of humanity prompt them to succour the oppressed , we appeal to help us to forward this great undertaking .

Masonic Notes .

We are glad lo learn that a very substantial increase has been made on the Board of Stewards for the 94 th Anniversary Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , which will be held at Freemasons' Tavern on Wednesday , the 29 th inst , The Board musters nearly 300 members , and when the appointed day comes round we shall probably find that several names have been added to the list . The London lodges are

but poorly represented , notwithstanding that several have appointed Stewards since we last wrote on the subject , while considering the number of Stewards from the Metropolitan district , the Unattached brethren are more numerous than usual .

Butvt London vs weak tbe Provinces are exceptionally strong , their representatives constituting not far short of two-thirds of the whole Board . The Chairman ' s Province makes a brave show , nearly every one of its lodges , two out of its three R . A . chapters , a Rose

Croix chapter , and a K . T . preceptory having at least one , several more than one , and one as many as 10 Stewards acting in their behalf . Nearly all thc Home Counties are fairly represented , considering the heavy demands made upon them by the Benevolent Jubilee ,

while , under the circumstances , there is a fair contingent of brethren from Provinces more remote from the Metropolis . Altogether about three-fourths of the Provinces will take part in the Festival , and there are , in addition , a few Stewards from Districts abroad .

# # # But though the outloak for the 29 th instant is so far satisfactory , we must caution our readers against expecting a large return . We have every confidence that

the Stewards will exert themselves to the utmost of their ability , but what we have said in reference to the Girls' School Festival as to the difficulty they would experience in compiling heavy lists will appeal with even greater force to the Festival which is now approaching .

* Bro . Ashley , of Bath , has discovered in the minutes of the old Cumberland lodge , No . 41 , the interesting fact that the Earl of Cork great-grandfather of thc

present Prov . G . Master of Somersetshire , Viscount Dungarvan , was initiated in that lodge on the 6 th of November , 1787 , and frequently attended its meetings afterwards .

The Provincial Grand Lodge of Lincolnshire held its centenary meeting at Grantham yesterday ( Thursday ) . The first lodge was held at Grantham on 21 st June , 1792 , when the Rev . W . Peters was installed

P . G . M . This brother for valuable services rendered to Grand Lodge was honoured with the title of " Grand Portrait Painter , " a distinction conferred for life , and whose office has never again been filled . Every brother in the province has received a handsome notice

of the meeting in the shape of a Masonic design , which , in addition to the usual emblems , contains a picture of Grantham Church , and medallion portrait of each P . G . M . —six in number—connected by a chain suspended from the keystone of the arch . The design

is the work of Bro . W . Mortimer , of Lincoln , and will doubtless be preserved as a memento by every brother who attends the lodge . An interesting feature of the gathering was a performance of Mozart ' s Masonic cantata , by choir and orchestra . We hope to give a full account of this interesting gathering next week .

? * * Bro . Col . and ex-Sheriff and Mrs . Thomas Clarke are inviting the W . M . and brethren of the Alliance Lodge , No . 1827 , besides many distinguished members of the Craft , to a garden party at their residence—The Gables , Upper Hamilton-terrace—on Wednesday , the 22 nd inst ., from 4 to 7 .

* * * We congratulate our esteemed contemporary , the South Australian Freemason , on the steady progress it has made since it was first published some four years ago . It is a well-written and well-edited journal ; its articles are always characterised by perfect fairness and

good taste ; its complement of news is always interesting , and the articles and paragraphs it quotes from its Masonic contemporaries are invariably selected with judgment . We trust it may be continued with advantage to the Craft in South Australia and to the advancement of its own good name for many a long year to come .

The first number of its fifth volume contains a full report of the " Welcome Social " given by the brethren to Bro . the Hon . Chief Justice Way , Past G . M . and Pro G . M . of South Australia , on his return home after an absence of 14 months . The meeting , though not

so numerously attended as had been expected , appears to have been in all respects a thoroughly representative one , and Bro . Way must have been immensely gratified by his reception after so prolonged an absence .

The speech of the evening was , of course , that of our distinguished brother , who , as those of our readers who were privileged to hear him on sundry occasions during his stay in England know , is an eloquent and effective speaker , and who described in admirable fashion his
