January 28—Service Lodge No. 95 in Manila. The Grand Master found increased interest in Freemasonry in the places he visited, not only among the members of the Fraternity but also among the profane as shown by the big attendance wherever he went. He urged the Brethren to take stock in lhe favorable reactions towards the Institution. He also cautioned them to practice the tenets and principles of the Fraternity in dealing with their fellows, family and country that the outside world may realize what Free masonry is doing not only for its members but also for the country at large. The Grand Master reminded the Brethren that Freemason ry does not campaign for members but only the behaviour of the individual Mason can induce a profane to knock at the door of the Institution. The Lodges pledged support to the Most Worshipful Grand Master — J. E. It, Jkautry, 1958 269
