The Royal Commemoration Lodge Of Instruction, No. 1585.
ally called their attention to the exemplary manner in which their Secretary , Bro . William Worrell , a P . M . of the Lodge , had discharged the functions of that office during a lengthened period of years . His devotion to Masonry in general , and the William Preston Lodge iu particular , had been such that his fellow-members had
resolved amongst them that such energy aud zeal as he had displayed should not go unrewarded ; and he had now on their behalf to make a presentation , voluntarily subscribed and distinct from the fonda of the Lodge . He did so with the greatest pleasure , knowing well how fully deserved was the tribute to bo awarded .
Bro . Worrell having been called forward , the following testimonial , illuminated on vellum and in a massive handsome frame , was read : — " The William Preston Lodge , No . 766 , held at the Cannon Street Hotel , London . In recognition of the valuable services rendered by Bro . Wm . Worrell P . M ., as Secretary of this Lodge for upwards of
thirteen years , the Worshipfnl Master , Past Masters , Officers and Brethren of the Lodge desire to express their appreciation of the unvarying courteous and effective manner in which he has fulfilled the duties of the office , and have great pleasure in accompanying this testimonial with a parse of gold . Signed on behalf of the
subscribers : —A . C . Reed W . M ., A . Le Grand P . M ., W . Jerrett Miller P . M . and Treasurer , F . G . Barns Hon . Secretary . London , 24 th November 1887 . " With the testimonial the W . M . then placed in Bro . Worrell ' s hand a fairly-sized and plethoric " porte monnaie , " and wished him long
life to look npon the former , and pleasure in disposal of the contents of the latter . Bro . Worrell briefly returned thanks , deferring until a later period of the evening a more full expression of his grateful sense of fche presentation . The chair of K . S . having bean vacated , Bro . W . Jerrett Miller undertook the dnties of Installing Master , very
ably and effectively placing Bro . W . J . Heath therein as W . M . for the ensuing year . In due course the appointment and investment of Officers took place , in the following order , viz .: —Bros . Edwards S . W ., Barns J . W ., Miller P . M . Treasurer , Worrell P . M . Secretary , Brooks S . D ., Heck J . D ., Ward I . G ., Greenslade D . C , Goode Assist . D . C
Kidman P . M . Steward , Haden Assist . Steward , Reinhardt Tyler . The addresses on installation were delivered by Bro . Miller , very impressively , and indeed the whole of the ceremonial of installation and investment left nothing to be desired as a careful rendering of the important ritual . Tho Lodge having been reduced to the first
degree , some routine business was disposed of , and the Lodge was closed . The banquet was held in the large pillar room of the Cannon Street Hotel , Bro . Kilby tbe manager of that establishment giving careful supervision , and securing the comfort of the guests , whose wants were readily and abundantly supplied . After the cloth was
cleared the usual Loyal aud Masonio toasts were given and responded to with laudable brevity , leaving time for song and recitation , with intervals of chat , which passed away the evening in the most agreeable manner . In response fco tbe toast of Grand Lodge Officers , whom the W . M . characterised as " all honourable men , " aud of whom Bro .
Garrod , an old friend and esteemed Mason , was oue , Bro . Garrod thanked the Brethren for the welcome accorded to him as a Past Grand Officer , and reciprocated the pleasure in respect of his attendance . The health of the W . M . was proposed by Bro . A . C . Rees , in terms of appreciation of his work and labour in the Lodge whilst
occupying subordinate offices , and with which the Brethren had beeu at all times satisfied . There were prospects of his having a fine year of office as W . M ., nnd he ( Bro . Rees ) felt sure there would never be the least regret that Bro . Heath had been placed in the exalted position of ruler of the Lodge . To this the W . M . responded'
saying that he now feared the Chair of W . M . was not all his fancy had painted it , and that he had but entered upon many cares in connection with his Office , still he hoped that , at the termination of his year of rule he might bo able to point to a record which would not disgrace the Lodge or bo otherwise than acceptable to the
P . M . ' s who hacl preceded bim . He hoped also that the brethren of his Lodge might "be to his virtues very kind , and to his faults a little blind . " The toast of the " Visitors" was given by the W . M . " good true hearted Masons , men who had done good service , " and he read a long list of well-known names , welcoming all
in the name of Masonry , and calling on Bros , the Rev W . B . Robinson , Dr . Kempster , John Hernaman ancl James Stevens to respond . From each of these brethren thanks were offered in admirable speeches which want of space alone prevents us from giving in extenso . Bro . Dr . Kempster took occasion to
interest the Brethren in the connection of William Preston , the author of " Masonic Illustrations , " with the name of fche Lodge . Bro . Hernaman descanted on the past of Freemasonry , and Bro . Stevens a littlo on the present ; but all agreed that none of those on whose behalf they responded could do otherwise than feel the greatest satisfaction
with the proceedings of the evening . The W . M ., in proposing tho health of the I . P . M ., after referring to the zealous services of the past , Presented him npt only with a P . M . ' s jewel as the gift of the Lodge , hat also with a solid gold Jabilee jewel on behalf of Bro . P . D . Rees ( his natural brother ) , iu remembrance of his initiation ancl subsequent
progress during the year of Jubilee . Bro . Rees replied that if he had done the duty he undertook to do , ancl as it would seem the Brethren considered he had done , he was amply repaid by their kind marks of appreciation . He thanked them for the handsome jewel they had presented to him , and his natural brother for his kind gift . He
considered it had been a privilege rather than a duty to have fcho' opportunit y of initiating , passing , ancl raising him , and the jewels he now "Wore would ever remind him of his year of pleasant labour . Tbo remaining toasts wero fche Past Masters ( including Installing Master , Treasurer , and Secretary ) , fche Officers of the Ledge , and the T yler ' s
toast . In respect of tbe former , responses wero given by each of the P . M . ' s present , Bro . Worrell taking occasion to refer to the handsome gift of the Brethren of fche Lodge in very expressive terms .
He trusted tbat tho framed testimonial might hang on the walls of his dwelling until the recipient shonld bo no moro , and that then it mi ght be transmitted to those who would honour it no less than be should do . As to the other portion of their gift , whether large or
