The most secluded missionary post
in the world is probably the one on
Helshel island. in the far northwest of
Canada. The nearest postofflce is 2.-
000 miles distant. so that mail matter
can be forwarded to the station but
two times a year. The island is rough
and inhospitai. in Winter the sun
shines but two months, and nowhere is
there any vegetation. The Esquimaux.
among whom the missionaries carry
on their work. are quite responsive to
their influence.

adopted, viz.: .
“'Resolved. That the M, W. grand
master be requested to order each
subordinate lodge in his jurisdiction
to elect, by ballot. one of its members
as a committee to take into con—
sideration the advisability of provid-
ing a suitable hospital homo for all
who require our sympathy or aid in
their misfortunes and who are Mason-
Ically entitled to the some. and also
to consider the question of providing
the money necessary for that purpose.
“ ‘Resolved, That the number of said
committee so selected be convened and
called to order by the M. W. grand
masters at some suitable time and
place before April 1. 1906. to organize
and elect from its members a chair-
man and secretary, and such other of-
ficers and sub-committees as It may
determine.
" ‘Resolved. That said committee re-
port, through its chairman and score-
tary, its findings and recommendations

the grand lodge, and also to the, next
annual meeting of the Masonic Chur-
ity Foundation.’ .

by order of M. W. Grand Master 'l‘ur-
nor, a meeting was held at Masonic
temple. Hartford. March 4. 1900. sev-
rnly‘threc lodges being represented.
Brother lsuuc N. Bartram was elected

retary, and M, W. Frank W. Havens.

"The subject matter of the original
resolutions was warmly discussed. af-‘
moved that a subcommittee. consist-
ing of nine members of that body.
(one from each Masonic district) be
appointed by the chairman to take in-
to consideration and to investigate the
further needs and facilities of the Mn.
sonic. home, etc. and that a copy of its

and future need of enlarged facilities.
“Atscordingly the committee , spent
the day of July 21 at the home, and in
company with the board of managers,
thoroughly. as they believe. investigat»
ed the vnrlousquestions suggested in
the original resolution. namely:
“How best can the facility of the
home be enlarged. that those of our un-
fortunate brethren. who by their grcsi.
er misfortunes. ought to the more up-
pesl to our brotherly love and relief.
but who are (lobarrcd from participat
