In his address at Now Plymouth on his inauguration as Grand Master of the New Zealand Grand Lodge of May sons, Lord -Plunket said: “Brethren, my period of public office in New Zealand and my position in the chair of King Solomon come to a close in about a year’s time. I shall find it hard to leave this country, where I have, spent some of the happiest years of my bfe. To you. my brother Masons, I owe many debts of gratitude. Notwithstanding the wise counsel and wholehearted loyalty which the members of the Grand Lodge have ever extended to me, I feel very conscious of much work ill done and much not done at ail. I can only say that during my final years as Grand Master I will do ail I can to merit the confidence you have. again shown in me, and advance the welfare of Freemasonry in general and our own constitution in particular.” It takes, roughly, twelve inches of snow to yield an equivalent of an inch of rain.
