Grand Master has endeared him to the Brotherhood , and it is now the wish of the Craft throughout India that his Masonic jubilee should be fittingly celebrated . The Worshipful Master having dwelt at some length on the Masonic career of Bro . Cama , congratulated him on his

attaining his jubilee , and expressed a hope that he might live long to give the benefit of his experience and advice to the younger members of the Craft . He then moved a formal proposition offering the congratulations of the lodge to Bro . Cama .
