During the whole of last year , it is true , there was no progress , or rather a retrogression , which , however , cannot be accounted for , as the Master took an interest in the lodge , and was , on the ivhole , a popular person . But recently there has been a marked improvement .
Already eleven candidates have been initiated . The loclge rooms , never a handsome-looking place , were very inconvenient . Two years ago the working room was lengthened by about 20 feet . This and tbe painting of the walls , new pedestals , chequered floor-cloth , punkahs , a greater number of lights , & e ., produced a wonderful change for the better . Efforts are now being made to build a new lodge-room by subscription . Already a sum of 2000 Rs . has been raised among the brethren , ancl at least 500 Rs .
more is expected , to which will be added 1000 Rs . from the loclge funds . It is hoped that this new aula Latomornm will be ready in three months after the rains cease—that is , about Christmas . It is evident thafc the brethren , though lew in number , are not behind others in . a good Masonic spirit . We are also glad to learn thafc the lodge has transferred 500 Rs . from the General Fund to the St . John ' s Fund . The brethren should endeavourby subscritions and donationsto lace the
, p , p latter on a permanent footing , so that whatever vicissitudes the lodge may pass through , the means of supporting the widows and orphans of Masons may never be wanting . At present the income of the Fund is about 65 Rs ., and its expenditure 20 Rs . per mensem . Afc least 4000 Rs . should be funded .
