PORT Elizabeth has achieved the distinction of becoming the leading commercial gate of entry to Cape Colony and the Hinterland , and has a large and constantly growing population , who yield jirecedence to none in business enterprise and energy . In such a town , where

British national feeling and loyalty are proverbial , Freemasonry has been a living force for many years . The Craft Lodges , Goodwill , No . jn , and Good Hojie , No . 86 3 , have

long worthily maintained the traditions and tenets of Alasonry as exemplified by the Grand Lodge of England , and several years ago a Craft lodge under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Scotland was instituted , and has attained to a large membership . In addition , the Royal Arch , the Mark , and

the Rose Croix Degrees are regularly and efficiently worked , and hojies are cherished of the resuscitation of the Knight Templar preceptory .
