The Lodge was formally opened by the W . M ., and the minutes were read and confirmed . The ballot was taken and proved unanimous in favour of Messrs . George Edgar Urch and Henry Eobert Appleton .

The Earl of Warwick , attended by the rest of the Grand and Provincial Grand Officers , then made his entry , amid the applause of the Brethren , and was received by Bro . Frank Griffith at the foot of the pedestal . The W . M . presented his gavel to the

Prov . G . M ., who returned it with a request that he should resume the chair . His lordship was first saluted as Deputy Grand Master of England , then as Provincial Grand Master , and the other Grand Officers were also saluted .

He did this in Lodge in order that it might stand as one of their most important records that they had had the privilege of welcoming such distinguished Brethren , and that they did so with all their hearts .

The Earl of Warwick , in response , said that to the gracious words the W . M . had been kind enough to address to him and Lord Stradbroke he could only reply that it had given him great pleasure to be present and to congratulate Bro . Frank Griffith on presiding over a Lodge which , although not of great antiquity , was one of the most successful Lodges in the Province of Essex ;

ifc was a Lodge bearing fche most respected name of Balling , and on thafc account should be in fche satisfactory condition that it was . Of course he knew that on all occasions when he came among the Brethren they were good enough to give him a loyal and hearty Masonic reception as their Provincial Grand Master ; and now that he had been promoted to higher honours by the Grand Master it still more became his duty to be with the
