He was admitted into Masonry at the Angel , where the Lodge then met , in 1835 , and he cherished many loving memories of the happy evenings he had speut in tbe Lodge . His

only regret was that he saw so very few present who were members then , in fact he might say he was almost the only living representative of those who were then on the roll . Bro . Ives proposed the health of the W . M . ; this he said was essentially the toast of the evening . They were all pleased to see Bro . Grimes iu the chair of the Lodge ,

looked upon Freemasonry as essentially a religions institution ; and if they carried out its principles in their daily walk and conversation , they could not but influence for good those with whom they were brought into contact . Masonry was calculated to make a good man a better one . It was entirely consistent with the Word of God ,

and he repeated , that if they as a body adhered to the principles laid down for their guidance , they could not but do all that lay ia their power for the good of their fellow men . He felt his own shortcomings , but all the time and talents he had at his command , he would gladly give for the welfare of the Angel Lodge . The W . M .

then , amid much applause , proposed the Installing Master . All who ! ad witnessed the way in which Bro . Ives had performed the ceremony of tho clay must have been more than gratified , aud personally he felt uuder a deep obligation to Bro . Ives . Bro .

the working of the Lodge , and the hospitality they had experienced . The Masonic Charities was the next toast proposed from tho chair . The W . M . remarked that it was a most gratifying fact , aud showed

thj vitality of Freemasonry , that iu these dapressed times no less a sum than £ 1-5 , 000 had been the result of this year ' s Festivals of the three great Masonic Institutions ; towards this Essex had contributed the liberal s-um of no less thau £ 700 . Tho Lodge had been
