The lettering on it is raised, and says...

'Friend To Friend'

'Hail My Old Friend Harry Kellar, The Mystic,

I Send You Greetings To The Spirit Land,

I Shake Your Hand In Masonic Friendship And

Gaze Into Your Eyes With Affectionate Greetings;

 I See Your Smile And Hear Your Voice And Feel

Your Masterly Presence, I Recall Your

Your Struggles, Your Joys And Your Tears And Send To

 You The Love That Was Matured In Years.

Hail! Old Friend Harry, Citizen Of The World,

 Born Of Humble Parents, Hammered By Many

 Restraints, Inflamed With A Desire To Conquer,

 Inspired With A Zeal That Knew No Fear,

 Your Name Will Ever Linger In Our Hearts Back Here'
