August 21, 22, as the guests of
Perfect Ashlar Lodge No. 4. Ses
sions wili be held at the lodge hall
at Hallie Q. Brown House. It is
interesting to note that .Perfect

great men given to the Craft by
Perfect Ashlar Lodge No. 4; there
are four very active brothers alive;
Rev. W. D. Carter, Jose H. Sher
wood, George L. Hoage, Sr., and
Frank B. Simpson, a fitting monu
ment to any lodge.
As we look forward to the com
ing Grand Lodge, there seems to
be a longing to see old faces again,
and cement the friendship the as
sociation of many years accorded
ks.
The several lodges have also con
tributed largely in officers to the
Jurisdiction along with Perfect
Ashlar Lodge No. 4. The following
lodges have also contributed many
great men to the Minnesota Grand
Lodge. Pioneer Lodge No. 1,
St. Paul, Minn., have given four
Grand Masters; H. B. Howard,

cis, and John H. Dillingham. All
four have gone to their reward,

faithfully. Anchor-Hilyard Lodge

seven Grand Masters; John L.
Neal, who was elected to succeed
Thomas H. Lyles as the second
Grand Master; Rufus L. DeLeo,
