KNIGHTS TEMPLAR TOASTED THE GRAND MASTER

A special toast was drank to the emiment grand commander of Kansas

In accordance with the annual custom, the Knights Templay all over the United States gathered at their respective asylums on Christmas Day and at the very same minute all joined in a sentiment proposed in honor of Most Eminent Grand Master Reuben Hedley Lloyd. The time of assembly was arranged for 11 o'clock central standard time and at every city where there is a commandery it was reduced from this time. The following sentiment was prepared for the occasion:

"To our most eminent grand master, Reuben Hedley Lloyd: May the Lord send him all the blessings which his faithful Knights wish him on this merry Christmas Day."

The grand master sends the following response.

"Sir Knights: May He, who provides all things, endow you with wisdom and power to illustrate in your lives and conduct the principles taught by Him whose advent we this day commemorate."

About 40 Sir Knights gathered at the rooms in this city and lifted high their glasses to the above. 

After this had been observed the new beausant was waved over the triangle formed about the altar and a special toast was drank to the Right Eminent Grand Commander of Kansas.
