Islam Temple will publish in the bulletins a Roll of Honor of its Nobles who have entered the service of the United States. Dues of such nobles will be remitted and every possible honor acckrded our brothers who are making this sacrifice for their country.

You are requested to kindly send the Reporter the name, rank and branch of service of any Noble of Islam, who has joined the Red, White and Blue.

Noble Harry Maundrell

At the stated meeting of February 14, 1918, Noble Harry Maundrell was selected Recorder of Islam Temple.

Islam is fortunate in securing the services of a Noble so well known in Masonic circles and with the experience that Harry has acquired in the work of the Shrine. He has passed through various stations of the Divan to Past Potentate and has served on all important committees of recent years.

He has been elected Representative to Imperial Council eight successive times and has had practical experience in charge of the Patrol. Now that he is Recorder, do your part.

Islam's New Home

May, 1918, Islam Temple Headquarters will move from Powell Street to the new temple, 650 Geary Street, between Jones and Leavenworth. The Recorder's office will be located at the new address May 1st and the Club Rooms as soon as possible furniture can be installed. The handsome edifice, luxurious furnishings and the successful completion of the thousand details incidental to be consistent execution of the Oriental scheme of Islam's new home, bear testimony to be untiring work in constant attendance of the committee in charge of building and furnishing.

Noble John Bennett

Entered the Unseen Temple, January 29, 1918

NOBLES ISLAM:---

There is today a vacant place in the EXECUTIVE BODY of ISLAM TEMPLE; a pillar in that Body has fallen, and one of its chief components has bowed to the Omnipotent Decree. "The silver cord is loosed; the golden bowl is broken; the pitcher is broken at the cistern; the dust has returned to the earth it was and the spirit has returned to God who gave it."

ISLAM TEMPLE MOURNS THE LOSS OF HER BELOVED RECORDER

Noble John Bennett

In him we all had an interest. We valued him for his efficiency; we admire him for his fidelity; we love him for his genial courtesy; we will remember him and praise him for his untiring efforts in all that pertains to the welfare of our Temple.

On the 9th day of December, 1909, our beloved Noble Brother was elected to this position, and from that date until the summons of Death removed him from us, Noble Bennett's heart was in his labors for us, in season and out, there was no flagging in his work, no lack of devotion to the discharge of the onerous and responsible duties of the position to which the unanimous suffrages of the Nobility of Islam called him. The neatness, correctness and style of the books of his office are evidence of his care and efficiency. Models they are that may well serve as guides and aids to those who may hereafter be called to follow him in the execution of the duties of this most important position. His devotion will prove an inspiration to all those who may succeed him.

We regarded his loss to us as a great misfortune, and humbly trust that the Nobles of Islam, putting aside all other consideration, will carefully honor his memory and honor themselves by like care, character and efficiency.

We desire to express the sympathy of the Nobles to those of his household in this sad affliction that has befallen them. May He who doeth all things, aid, protect and comfort them in this dark hour of grief.

In testimony of our love and esteem for Noble Bennett and our sympathy for the bereaved, we, in session assembled, ordered this Memorial spread in full upon the minutes of the Temple, and a copy thereof be sent to his family.

J. W. Anderson, Chairman.

William Crocker, Committee

Charles G. Gebhardt, Committee

Congratulations, Ernie!

Noble Enest C. Hueter, our genial Assistant Rabban, has won the heart and hand of Miss Lauretta Boyd, one of Sacramento’s fairest and most charming daughters. The happy couple were married on January 2, 1918, and will reside in San Francisco. Islam wishes them every blessing.
