CITY OF WESTMINSTER LODGE , No . 15 G 3
rp ilE anunal meeting of this Loclgo was held on Thursday , the J 21 th ultimo , at tho Cafe Royal , Regent-street , W ., when Bro . John Waugh J . W . of the Lodge was installed into the chair by Bro . J . E . Shnnd W . M . Tho usual preliminary business having been disposed of , the Lodgo was advanced , and Bros . Hofman aud Radcliffe were passed . The Worshipful Master elect was then presented ,
obligated , and in due course installed , Bro . J . E . Shand carrying out tho last duties of his year of office in a most satisfactory manner , and being ably assisted by Bro . E . White P . M ., who acted as Director of Ceremonies , and otherwise supported the Installing Officer . The following were invested as Officers for the vear : —Bros . Hammond S . W ., Eastgate J . W ., Shand I . P . M . Treasurer , Scott P . M . Secretary ,
Jones S . D ., Lee J . D ., Smith I . G ., Hoare Organist , Janes Director of Ceremonies ( by proxy ) , Hill Steward , Potter Tyler . The ceremony of installation having been completed , the report of the Audit Committee was submitted , and adopted . Bro . Scott , the Secretary , announced the receipt from Bro . Terry of a circular , asking for the support of the Lodge nt the next Festival of the Royal Masonic
Benevolent Institution . Bro . Turner P . M . said he should be pleased to act as Steward representing the City of Westminster Lodge , and his offer being accepted by the brethren , he thanked them , and in a forcible speech invited them to strive all they knew to make his list a good one . Bro . P . M . White proposed that the sum of ten guineas be voted from the funds of the Lodge to the Old Folks Institution ,
the amount to placed on tho list of Bro . P . M . Turner , who , he was pleased to see , had undertaken the office of Steward ; this being seconded was carried unanimously . It wns mentioned by Bro . Turner , in announcing his decision to act for the Benevolent , that the founders of the Lodge had expressed a desire that tho members shonld support the Girls' School until the Lodge had earned the qualification
of Vice President , but inasmuch as he looked upon that Charity as being at the present time the best provided for , and as the Lodge was really not behindhand with their intended donations to it , he felt he was not doing wrong in acting now for the Old People—the Masonic Institution , he considered , which had the first claim on every Mason , and the one which at the present time required all the
assistance its friends conld give it . After the transaction of some other items of business the Lodgo was closed , and the brethren proceeded to the banquet hall , where a most enjoyable repast was served . The following Past Masters were present during the meeting : —Bros . E . White , B . H . Swallow , B . Phillips , B . Turner , and E . J . Scott . Tho W . M . having proposed the toasts of the Queen and the Craft ,
H . R . H . the Prince of Wales and the Grand Officers , Bro . Shand assumed the gavel , ancl gave thafc of the W . M . The toast was one which was always well received in tho City of Westminster Lodge , but more particularly was this the case on nights of installation . He trnsted the brethren would give it a hearty reception that night , as by so doing they would show the newly-installed Master thafc he had
the confidence and support of his Lodge . The W . M ., after a song , replied . He begged to thank the brethren very heartily for the kind manner iu which fche toast of his health had been received . He felt very mnch the responsibility of tho high office to which he had that evening been appointed , nnd thought it best to at once throw himself ou the good nature of the brethren . He intended to do his best
toimitnto the woikof the Past Masters , and trnsted thafc if he should be spared for the next twelve months , he might leave the chair with as much eclat as had his predecessor that evening . In conclusion , he felt he conld not do better than recommend to the brethren the Masonic sentiment—to be happy ourselves and communicate happiness . ' He then proposed the health of Bro . Shand I . P . M . The
enthusiasm he had always shown throughout the time the Lodge had been in existence , in promoting its welfare , entitled him to the greatest regard from the members , while they could but one and all appreciate the ability he had shown that day in performing the various dnties required of him . Before drinking the toast tbo W . M . had the greatest pleasure in
presenting to Bro . Shand a Past Master s jewel as a reward for the way in which he had carried out the duties of the chair dnring the past year , and as a token of tho appreciation of the brethren . The W . M . hoped ho might live for many years to look upon it as a small recompense for the amount of work he had been called upon to perforin in connection with tho Lodgo . Tho jewel , which was of very
handsome design , bore , in addition to the arms of tho Lodge , those of Bro . Shand , and on tho back was engraved the following inscri ption : — Presented by the City of Westminster Lodge , No . 1563 , to Brother John Edward Shand P . M ., as a token of fraternal regard , and in appreciation of bits valuable . services , and tho excellent manner in which he discharged tho duties of Worshipful Master . —21 th Novcnibci 1 S 81 .
Bro . Shand thanked tho Worshipful Master for the sentiments ho had expressed , and the brethren generally for the very cordial way in which they had received the toast , lie thought he might safely say it was true what the Master had said as to his attention to the duties of tho Lodge , an he had never been absent from one of its meetings
since the timo it . had li'e . e . established ; neither had ho over been absent nt , the time of the opening of the Lodge , lie felt he knew something of the City of Westminster ; he was present afc its consecration , having then laliru tho lowest , ollico in tho Lodge . On tint occasion ho remarked that he hud his eye ou the chair of the Lodge
Installation Meetings, &C.
and now ho experienced the pleasure of having passed beyond thafc summit of ambition to all Masons . He looked upon the Past Masters of a Lodge as really its backbone , and was pleased to see the present occupant of the chair so well supported iu this respect . He desired to thank tho brethren very heartily for the very handsome jewel he had just received at the hands of the W . M . Ho intended to tako as
great interest in the City of Westminster Lodge in the future as he had in the past , indeed , ho should strive to do more and more for the Lodgo as time advanced . The W . M . next proposed the health of tho Visitors . He considered ifc a very important toast , the membera were afc all times glad to see Visitors , and he trusted they , one and all , had enjoyed the fare which had that day been placed before
them . Bro . Crossland was tho first to reply . They had that night heard , somewhat impressively , from Bro . Shand , something of tho dnties appertaining to the office of W . M ., bnt there was one task he had omitted to refer to , that fell to the duty of an acting Master , that of responding to the toast of the Visitors , whenever he might appear in that capacity dnring his term of office . He was pleased to
see , judging from a previous favourable impression , that the Lodge had not deteriorated , but rather that ifc was progressing . Ho felfc that the true spirit of Masonry—Charity—was instilled into the Lodge , and that the members wore carrying it out in the truest spirit . He , and doubtless all present , were very pleased to have
heard in the Lodgo the announcement that so much had been con - tributed to the Institution for Girls , and they could not but be gratified to witness tho generous manner in which the sum of ten guineas was voted to the Old Folks . So long as the true principles of Freemasonry were maintained in such a manner the brethren need have no fear of
the prosperity of their Lodge , nor of the taunts of the outside world , as they would thereby be able to prove that they were really actuated by higher motives than mere festivity . Bro . Farwig followed . He was present afc the consecration of the Lodge , and wheu he remembered its start , he could only say he was surprised at its present dimensions ; ancl yet , when ho remembered that Bro . Scott , the
best of Secretaries and Past Masters , had been associated with ifc , he felt there was less reason for surprise . He felt sure thafc so long as brethren like him could be found to rule the Lodge it mnst prosper . Bro . Jackson felt that the working and general standing of the Lodge was of such a character thafc any brother might be proud to belong to it . Bro . Docker and others also replied , after which the W . M . proposed
the toasfc of the P . M . ' s . He was gratified to see so many presentthere being but ono absentee ( Bro . Holden ) . He looked upon the P . M . ' s as a glorious constellation , and each as a bright particular star . He felt that if he always kept within their glow he should never want for light . It would be his ambition to emulate the example they had set , and if he failed it would be rather from want
of ability than from want of zeal . Brother Swallow was much obliged to the brethren for his reception . He had endeavoured to start the Lodge well , and now felt it was in a position to go on without his assistance . He did nofc think there would be much need of his aid in fche future , but he hoped always to be present , and to bo well received , as he thought it was desirable they
should always have the father of the Lodge in their midst . Each of the ether Past ; Masters replied , and the other customary toasts having been honoured , the proceedings were brought to a conclusion in the usual manner . Among the visitors were Bros .
