HE combined lodges of the Mis- slon district will hold an open meeting and give af entertain- ment in the hall of Alta Lodge, in Mangels Hall on the night of the 10th. This will be the third of a series that have been inaugurated by these lodges and they are growing in popular- ity. The entertainment is billed for 8§:3) and dancing for 10 o’clock. Last Monday night Magnolia Lodge clearly demonstrated that there need be no lack of interest in the lodges of this order if the right steps are taken to bring j the membership out. There was an open meeting such as there is on the first meet- ing night in each month and every seat in Ruby Hall, Red Men’s building, in which the lodge meets, was occupied. There was an interesting address by Past Supreme Master W. H. Jordan on the subject of the approaching celebration of the order and then a few remarks on what active work is being done in this matter by Grand Recorder C. T. Spencer. There were present a number of visitors, including Deputy Grand Master W. H. Barnes. The programme that was pre- sented for the entertainment of all was high class and reflects credit on the com- mittee composed of N. Fallek, M. L. Stern and C. S. Packard. There were songs, recitations, instrumental music and literary efforts presented by Master Joe Cunningham, M. Samuels, Master Irving Fallek, Messrs. Piatz, Walsh, Stern and Fablan. Magnolia sandwiches and cigars were distributed. On the 2d inst. Grand Overseer F. W. Browning addressed a good meeting of the members of Bernal Lodge in the in- terest of the celebration. On the follow- ing night Past Grand Master Snook ad. dressed Unity Lodge, Past Grand Master Bahrs spoke to Triumph Lodge and Past Grand Master Edwin Danforth had some- thing to say to Unity Lodge also on the coming celebration, which it is proposed to make the greatest the order nas ever known In this city. The Past Masters’ Assoclation, Major Blackman president, has arranged for a day and a night at the Chutes on the 26th of October, On the 4th inst. ex-Grand Recorder D. 8. Hirshberg addressed Valley Lodge on the subject of the approaching celebra- tion, and In most convincipg language showed the members of the largest lodge in the jurisdiction that it is their duty to make a most excellent showing at the celebration. The speaker, who is a mem- ber of one of the Oakland lodges, stated that the Grand Lodge expected the San Francisco lodges, thirty-two i number, to have on celebration night an aggregate of 300 newly initiated members to receive their certificates from the squreme mas- ter workman, and added: “There ought not to be the slightest difficulty to ob- tain that number in sixty days. Why if the proposition was started in_ Oakland we would get that number in less than thirty days.” E. C. Stock, past master of Franklin Lodge, made some practical suggestions, and after several others had spoken the lodge gave a vote of thanks to the ex-recorder for his eloquent and enthusiasm procucing address, and one to the past master of ¥ranklin for his earn- est, practical, common sense talk.
