EVENTS

REPORT, MARCH 1932

From New England Craftsman, Vol. XXVII, No. 7, March 1932, Page 176:

From far away Harbin, in China, near the center of the Sino-Japanese "war that
is not war", comes regularly the notice of meeting of Sungari Lodge (Massachusetts Constitution), and it is refreshing to notice that in spite of the inevitable turmoil with which the members are surrounded, they go calmly about their work, meeting regularly once a month, receiving reports, raising candidates, caring for the welfare of the brethren, all in the regular order.


A significant thing, this. Wherever men of the white race are, Freemasonry functions calmly, conservatively. Illustrating that truth is indeed a mighty thing, that fraternity binds indissolubly men of similar minds, and that there is an oasis in every desert even among the destruction into which men and nations in the madness of their ambitions sometimes seek to plunge themselves.
