Presentation to Bro . Frederick C . Van Duzer .
B RO . F . C . Van Du / . er , P . A . G . D . C , an American , was made a Mason in this country in the Canterbury Lodge , No . 16 33 , and he is now the Treasurer of that lodge , having been W . M . some years ago . He is also a founder of live or six other lodges , a number of chapters , has passed through the chair of a number , one being the Jubilee Masters' Lodge
( he was W . M . last year ) , and while visiting America frequently had never had the opportunity until recently of visiting an American lodge . He chose as the lodge to first visit , the Hudson River Lodge , No . 607 , holding under the jurisdiction of the State of New York . The lodge is held in
Newburgh , New York . He visited that lodge on a number of occasions , witnessing the different ceremonies worked , and the fact that the pleasure that he derived from these visits to a lodge in his native town was apparently shared by the brethren of that lodge in having him as their guest , as on
visiting America in September of this year they elected him an honorary member . This is a distinction accorded to but few , and there are only two honorary members of the lodge besides himself . The election of honorary members of lodges in America is not so freely made as in this country , but
is restricted to a few , and it is a much coveted honour . In some instances very handsome certificates of honorary membership are given , and Bro . Van Duzer was the recipient of a very handsome certificate , of which we give a reproduction .
