OUR present issue appears at a moment of great national sorrow . The death of our beloved Qi'KKX is an event which overshadows and dwarfs the manv interests which but yesterday appeared to loom large in the minds of men , but which now suddenly recede into
comparative insignificance . It would ill-become us to intrude at this moment with a panegyric of the illustrious deadfar abler pens than ours are employed on that taskbut , as Freemasons , we may fitly and reverently drop our sprig of acacia cm the tomb of that Gracious Lady
who has during the whole of her pure and noble life exemplified in all her actions those principles of " Brotherly Love , Relief , and Truth , " which are the watchwords of our Order . As Vice-Patron of the Royal
Masonic Benevolent Institution , and Chief Patroness of the two great Educational Organisations of the Craft , HKK MAJKSTY has , with her characteristic tenderness for the voting , and sympathy with the friendless , shown her interest in the Charitable objects of Freemasonry , and has tints stamped with her august approval the efforts
of those who , by their munificence , have reared those permanent memorials of the benevolence of the Brotherhood . As the mother of our beloved Grand Master , she possessed a double claim on our veneration and regard , and it will , indeed , be many long years before the present
generation of Masons , in their heart of hearts , will cease to mourn the disuse of the time-honoured phrase— " The Queen and the Craft . "
