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.

NOBLES ISLAM:---
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.
