Several of the small articles left over from the Bazaar were sent down
to the East Side Mission where a Christmas Tree is to be given to the
children. Mrs. Kramer, Mrs. Deen Hunt, and Bros. Leonard and Hecht are
busy making preparations for this, and it is being looked for to with
great expectations by the children.
A Bazaar was also held December 15 and 16 by the U. B. Lodges in Boston
in one of the largest and best halls, centrally located on Tremont
Street, the main business street of the city. It was one of the most
successful events of the kind held this year in Boston and has brought
excellent financial results.
In accordance with suggestions made some months ago by our Leader in
this magazine, the Sioux City Lodge of U. B. held a Bazaar with
excellent results. Part of the proceeds were taken for local work and
part sent to the Central Office for the general work of the
organization. If all Lodges would carry out work of this kind, how they
could build up their local work and also help the Centre! Some of the
other Lodges have reported work in this direction, but we have not yet
received details.
A concert was recently given in Providence, R. I., for the benefit of
the War Relief Fund of the I. B. L. It was well attended and successful.
Frank C. Berridge of Victoria Lodge, B. C., writes Dec. 13th:
"We are having a Brotherhood concert here to-night and think it will be
a great success. We have started a Lotus Circle here at last and have
ten children already. We are to give them a Christmas Tree on New Year's
Day. The Sunday evening public lectures are well attended and we are
getting along nicely in Victoria."
Lodge 70, U. B. (Chicago), held an entertainment Dec. 14th and realized
a good sum for the War Relief Fund. Bro. A. M. Smith writes: "Everything
moves along well here. Our members are very united and have fullest
confidence in and sympathy with the Leader. Our meetings are very well
attended."
Letters from Dr. J. A. Anderson and Bros. Griffiths and Johnson give
favorable accounts of Lodge work in San Francisco, and of both the U. B.
and the I. B. L. meetings. Several new members have recently joined. The
whole coast is looking forward to the U. B. Congress at Point Loma.
Bro. Beckett sends good news from Toronto. All the members are active
and desire to still further aid the work and add to the success and
solidarity of the movement.
The members of Universal Brotherhood will remember that soon after the
last Convention of February 18th some of the members of the Narada
Branch of the Theosophical Society in America, Tacoma, Wash., who did
not accept the Universal Brotherhood Constitution brought suit against
the Tacoma U. B. Lodge to obtain possession of the property of the
Lodge. The case was non-suited and dismissed. They then carried the case
to the Supreme Court of Washington, and we have just received copy of
the judgment as follows:
Virginia Herman _et al_, Appellants,
_vs._
Fred G. Plummer _et al_, Respondents.
