Royal Arch Freemasonry In Yorkshire.

ment which the head of tho Grand Chapter of England has thought fit to make in the person of yonr Provincial Grand Master . ( Hear , hear . ) To fill both these high offices does indeed create no little sentiment of emotion—feeling the donble responsibility of high duties to perform , viz ., to sustain the dignity of this Grand Chapter , as well as Provincial Grand Lodge ;

to maintain tho how ur of Freemasonry , to preserve the ancient landmarks of our Order , and to enforce mildly , yet courageously , the discipline of the Books of Constitution . To me it is a real pleasure to lenve ontside the doors of this Chapter for the moment all thoso differences and disputes which create dissensions more or less with persons engaged with politics or with religious opinion .

or the business occupations of the world , and to ho engaged with 11 number of Royal Arch Masons , all of one mind , all of one voice , and all of one heart , in the performance of a solemn ceremony as that which the Prov . Grand Superintendent of East Lancashire has now so perfectly and eloquently performed . ( Applause . ) This visit , which we have received from him tn-day is one of pr- 'mpt promise . No

sooner had I felt the necessity of complying with tho commands of His Royal Highness tho Prince of Wales than T applied to my gallant Brother and Companion to undertake this ceremony of installation . You have greeted him most warmly , with the honour duo to his rank , and on behalf of myself and this Grand Chapter , we thank him heartily and sincerely for the journey he has

taken to Sheffield , tho admirable manner he has performed tho ceremony , and the exhortation he has given ns . His name will never be forgotten by tho Freemasons of East Lancashire , and I am quite snro the Masonic work which he undertakes in that large Province will bear good fruit to remotest time ; and amongst the fruits of that work is a course of public use ulness outside the Lodge as well as iu

it , and which East Lancashire warmly appreciates . ( Hear hear . ) The ostensible objects of Royal Arch Masonry , the end and aim of this branch of our symbolic system , tho study of its history- revealed and traditional , is to bring us into more intimate connection with certain canonical books of tho Holy Scriptures . Numberless authorities well known , have amply explained tho ritual of this order in Freemasonry . It inspires its members with most exalted ideas , ancl leads

to the exercise of tho pnrest reverence for the eternal Ruler of the Universe , the elemental spring and primordial source of religions principles , the very fountain of tho virtues Faith , Hope and Charity ; resolving conjectures into certainties , and bringing traditional history into historical harmony with Biblical facts . ( Hear hear and applause . ) These have confirmed , in a remarkable manner , the groundworks of our noble Order . It is an Order of which every Master Mason or

student of religion founded on tho Bible ought to become a supporter , to the best of his time and means . This was an earnest desire of my lamented predecessor in this chair , expressed at Huddersfield the last time he officially appeared amongst us , and he added : — " We meet for no unholy purpose , but for wise and judicious action in a good cause . " The number of Chapters scattered about this Province afford ample

opportunities for effecting the consummation of Companion Shavy ' s last wishes , ancl now my own . I hope the Chapters in this Province will bo carefully worked , and that they will co-operate as well with me , their new chief , as they did with the old , for peace , nnity and love . And now , brethren , I thank yon once again for your cordial reception of me to-dny , I thank von for hnving come long distances

to bo present at my installation as Prov . G . Superintendent of Royal Arch Masons of West Yorkshire . I assure you I shall never forget today , any more than T shall over forget my installation as Prov . Grand Master of West Yorkshire ; and , lastly , my acknowledgments are due to the two Chapters in Sheffield under whose banners this cere

mony has t e -n conducted , for the exce'lency of their arrangements , and for their hospitality to tho Chapters of this Province . I wish the whole of the Chapters in this Province every prosperity . ( Loud applause ) . During the after business , 100 guineas was voted to the Beutley Shaw Presentation Fund .
