SPECIAL MEETINGS CALLED FOR A KING


On December 20, 1874, a special meeting of New York Lodge No. 330 was held to exemplify the third degree for the edification of a Brother.

His Royal Highness David Kalakaua , King of the Hawaiian Islands, and a member of Le Progres de l'Oceanie Lodge No. 124 (Supreme Council of France) Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands.

After the degree was exemplified, the Bible on which George Washington had taken his oath of office was displayed.

The royal visitor asked that the book be opened at the page where the oath was administered. He took the book in both hands and kissed the page saying "I thank God for this privilege."

On January 15, 1865, the same royal visitor attended Chicago's Oriental Lodge No. 33 which had called a special meeting.

Over four hundred distinguished visitors attended.
