Freemasonry In Chill.

Freemasonry in Chill .

THE Grand Lodge of England is represented in Chili by only one lodge , Harmony , No . 1411 , which was founded about 30 years ago , and whose fortunes have flowed and ebbed with the tides , and are now flowing again . The present

THK WORSHIPFUL MASTER . W . M . of the Lodge , Bro . Coghill , has recently been on a visit to this country , visiting lodges both in England and

Scotland . He is the first Master who has obeyed the summons to attend ai Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge , ' which , considering the length of the cable which attaches the lodge to its parent , is scarcely to be wondered at .

Harmony Lodge occupies a very prominent position in Masonry in Valparaiso , where also the Grand Lodge of Chili has its headquarters , as also subordinate lodges under the Grand Lodges of Scotland and Mass ., U . S . A . The pioneer lodge in Valparaiso is Bethesda , under the Grand Lodge of Mass ., U . S . A ., and its charter dates 1853 . Then follows the

Royal Arch Chapter , also with charter from U . S . A . dated 1865 . The Lodge Star and Thistle under the Grand Lodge of Scotland conies next , but for some years it was in recess , and it is only comparatively recently that it has again started work .

" Harmony " is consequently the youngest of the English speaking lodges , but notwithstanding this it has wielded a powerful influence amongst the Masonic fraternity in Chili , and continues to exercise that influence in a beneficial manner . The lodge possesses two votes in the Royal Masonic

Institution for Girls , and has a girl being educated there ( Miss J . Jacobs . ) It also possesses one vote in the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , and the settled purpose of the lodge is to continue accumulating those votes from time to time as opportunity and financial ability permit .

Bro . Coghill has had a warm reception here , and has been the recipient of many honours , especially in Edinburgh , in the higher degrees , as well as being the Com . from the U . S . A . as Deputy General Grand Master for Chili of Royal and Select Masters , and is loud in his expression of gratitude

for the kind attentions shown him by all friends in London and elsewhere throughout England , taking all kindnesses shown him as favours and honours for his lodge .
