74 APPENDIX—REPORT OF COMMITTEE
The report on Foreign Correspondence was prepared by M. W. Bro.
E. T. D. Chambers. We regret very much to note that our Proceedings
did not reach his table, for we always find it a privilege to read Brother
Chambers' criticisms of our Proceedings.
EHODE ISLAND, 1910.
The Grand Master, M. W. Bro. Samuel Magown, reported in his Address
in this wise:
'' The past year has been one of prosperity throughout this Jurisdiction,
and I am convinced that the true spirit of brotherhood has been the
watchword in all of the Subordinate Lodges, and among the Brethren."
The Grand Secretary, E. W. Bro. S. Penrose "Williams, reported the
total membership of the Lodges to be 7,464; a net gain of 315.
The Grand Treasurer, E. W. Bro. Wm. E. Greene, reported that the
expenses had exceeded the receipts some fourteen hundred dollars. This
was accounted for by the expenditure of nearly eighteen hundred dollars
in the reprinting of early Proceedings.
Brother Henry Warren Eugg was elected Grand Master. In a little
over two months afterwards he died, full of honor and greatly esteemed
throughout the realm of Freemasonry.
SASKATCHEWAN, 1910.
The Grand Master, M. W. Bro. W. B. Tate, spoke as follows in his
Address:
"It is gratifying to be able to% inform you that our Grand Lodge
is in the continued enjoyment of peace and prosperity. The rapid growth
and development of our Province is one of the marvels of this Continent,
and Masonry is trying to keep pace with this development, and
is irresistibly pressing forward to achieve its great unmeasured destiny.
At the time of the formation of our Grand Lodge five years ago we consisted
of 24 Chartered Lodges and 5 under dispensation. At our last
meeting, we had increased to 53 Chartered Lodges, 12 to whom Charters
were authorized to be issued, and 5 under dispensation, a total of 70
Lodges. Now we have 65 Chartered Lodges and 18 under dispensation,
a total of 83 Lodges. Our total membership at the time of the formation
of Grand Lodge was less than 900. At the time of our last Grand
Lodge meeting we had a membership of 3,300—to-day we number approximately
4,000. I trust that our growth in the principles of Freemasonry
as taught in our Lodge rooms has exceeded our growth numerically, and
that by the immeasurable and ceaseless influence of our personal example,
that most potent of all factors in the Masonic labor of uplifting
humanity, we will make Freemasonry the same powerful instrument for
good in this Jurisdiction that we are proud to know it has been elsewhere,
never losing sight of the fact that the real object and true aim
of Masonry is not the perfect exemplification of our beautiful work,
neither is it a pastime nor pleasure alone, but rather the building up of
human character and the making of men.''
The Grand Treasurer, E. W. Bro. Alex. Shepphard, reported that the
receipts had exceeded, the expenses some fifteen hundred dollars.
The Grand Lodge of South Australia was recognized.
