KITCHENER'S MASONIC LIFE.
At the quarterly meeting of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons in Melbourne, Grand Master C. Carty Salmon, in the course of a tribute to Lord Kitchener, said :—"The Empire has lost one of its most able organisers and administrators, and we brethren have lost a distinguished and beloved brother. He entered Freemasonry in his early manhood, and qualified as a Master in 1897. He was
honored by the Prince of Wales, Grand Master of England, by having conferred ugph him the rank of Past Grand Warden. In 28C9 he was appointed first "District Grand Master of Egypt and the Soudan. He founded
■the Lord Kitchener Lodge in Cairo, in 1902. He was appointed District I Grand Master of the Punjaub, and at jSimla there is now a craft lodge bearling his name. When in this territory ihe received an address from the J Grand Lodge. "The last glimpse we. have of him is typical of his life. None could know better the certainty of his end, yet he is seen standing on the deck of the doomed vessel talking with the Officers, and betraying neither fear nor concern. Truly his Masonic life had taught him how to die."
