Freemasonry In The West Indies.
Freemasonry in the West Indies .
THE LODGE ROOM ( WEST VIEW )
In Barbadoes , West Indies , the Craft held a " Lodge of Sorrow , " in memory of Her late Majesty Queen Victoria . There was quite a number of brethren present . The lodge was draped in black almost to the floor all round the walls , in the centre a catafalque was erected on
which rested the coffin , covered with a rich purple velvet pall with white fringe , whilst over the catafalque was a canopy draped and covered with black , the sides being festooned ; seven tall candlestands stood round the coffin , whilst at its feet were placed the emblems of mortality . We are indebted to W . Bro . R . J . Clinckett , the District Grand Secretary at Barbadoes , for this account .
The satisfaction expressed in some quarters at the resuscitation of the Cambrian Lodge , No . 6 5 6 ( E . G . ) , does not appear to be shared by the Grand Lodge of Illinois . The report of the Committee of Correspondence of that body in referring to the report of the Grand Lodge of
England dealing finally with this matter , says : — " The report ( Board of General Purposes ) was ratified by a motion which conceded it to be a finality , and by the ratification of a lodge confessedly moribund for years , in which a possible breath of life has been kept by the gravest irregularities , has been
resuscitated to be an irritating thorn in the llesh of a friendly—indeed , an affectionate—Grand Lodge , composed of those enthusiastically loyal to the Throne to which the Grand Master of Masons in England , the Patron of the Australian Grand Lodges , is Heir Apparent !"
