Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

We have received copy of the minutes of a Special Communication of the District Grand Lodge of the Eastern Archipelago , which was held at the Masonic Hall , Singapore , on the 18 th August last , for the purpose of installing Bro . Major-General Sir Charles

Warren , G . C . M . G ., P . M ., P . Z ., Past Grand Deacon of England , as District Grand Master . The ceremony appears to have been very ably performed b y Bro . J . D . Vaughan , the Deputy District Grand Master in charge , who was subsequently appointed , invested , and

saluted as Sir Charles ' s Deputy . The District Grand Officers for the year were also appointed and invested , and after an able address from the new District Grand Master , the proceedings in District Grand Lodge were brought to a conclusion .

We congratulate Bro . Sir Charles Warren on his installation in this important office , in which , while his duties and responsibilities will undoubtedly be onerous , his opportunities of promoting the welfare of the Craft , and more particularly of the lodges placed under his

immediate control will be many . But the new chief of this remote district is a man of known energy and ability , and at the same time a Mason who has taken a deep interest in the study of our history ; and we have every reason to

anticipate that his tenure of the post into which he has so recently been inducted , will demonstrate more clearly still his fitness as a ruler . We also congratulate most heartily the brethren of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge on the honour which is reflected on them by the

appointment of one of their chief founders and first W . M . to a position of such eminence . They have had ample experience of Bro . Sir Charles Warren both as a ruler who presided over their lodge with conspicuous success during the most critical period

of its existence and as a brother , who is conversant above the majority of his fellows with the history of our venerable Fraternity , and will be able to realise the good fortune which has befallen the lodges in the Eastern Archipelago in having him for their chief .

* * * The address which Bro . Sir C . Warren delivered on this occasion calls for no remark , except as regards one matter to which he somewhat pointedly referred . Years ago , at the instance of the Palestine Exploration

Society , he conducted a series of explorations in the Holy Land , and in his inaugural address he gave it as his opinion that " Freemasonry is of very ancient date , and the more one examines the matter the more one discovers that it is founded on very antient rites and ceremonies which probably came to us through / the
