Druids’ Lodge

Sister Webb presided over the large-,y-attended fortnighttly meeting of the fJ.A.O.D. on Thursday, December 3. Invitations were received from Oroua, Terrace End, and Buahine Lodges to attend their lodges on installation night. Several members intend visiting Buahine on Thursday, Peeember 10. The D.P. paid an official visit to inatal the various officers of the No. 25 District, which he did in a very able manner and received Druidic honours. He was then called upon to perform the duty of unveiling the new obituary board. In doing so he paid a very high tribute to the deceased members whose names appeared on the board. Some had been the founders of the lodge, whose great work of Druidism still goes on. .The D.P. then called on the members to stand in silence for one minute.

P.A. Bro. Braggins and Bidder have been nominated, for.the office of D.P. during the next term. The Lodge was favoured with visits from a sister and brothers of Buahine, Myrtle'and" Putara Lodges, who wero received with musical honours. .Business finished, supper was partaken of, then there was dancing and a social evening in which everyone had an enjoyable time, later departing after the singing of “Auld Lang Syne," feeling that their visit to Pahiatua was well worth while.
