another the brethren learnt to appreciate each other . They were that night honoured with the presence of three Worshipful Masters , and , as he should havo mentioned when proposing the toast of the Grand Officers , by a Past Grand Officer of England , iu the person of Bro . Garrod . That brother was extremely gratified at the manner
in which Bro . Le Grand had initiated the five gentlemen received into the Lodge that day , and was much pleased by the way in which Bro . Miller had installed the new Master in the chair of the Lodge . Bro . Guy having endorsed the remarks of Bro . Garrod , was followed b y Bro . Medwin , who referred to a gathering which took
place some ten or fifteen years back , when the members of the Lion and Lamb Lodge aud of the William Preston Lodge dined together , he thought under the presidency of Brother George Newman , who was a member of the two Lodges , and at the time Worshipful Master of the Lion and Limb . The Worshipful
Master had that evening called to his mind times he had spent in the Australian colonies , where as they had been told one truly experienced the value of Freemasonry , and felt the true hand of fellowship . Other replies were given , in many cases the speakers referring to the custom prevalent in this Lodge of displaying the banners of
each of the Past Masters at the meetings . The toast of the Past Masters followed . They were passing along year by year , but many of them clung to the Lodge , foremost among them being Bros . Miller and Worrel ) , the Treasurer and Secretary , who were always to be found at each of the meetings of the Lodge . It was often that
Past Masters became careless after leaving the chair , but with the William Preston Lodge it was different—some of the Past Masters were invariably present . Bro . Miller had that day rendered the oeremony of installation in a most gratifying manner , while as regarded Bro . Worrell , he might truly be described as one of their
most indefatigable members ' . He had discharged the duties of Secretary for the past twelve years , and the Worshipful Master felt it was about time the members shewed , in some tangible manner , their appreciation of what he had done for them during that long period . Bro . Miller was the first to respond . It was
at all times a pride and a pleasure to him to do anything for the Lodge . Bro . Worrell tendered his thanks . He was reminded by his banner that it was in 1873-4 that he filled the chair of Master in tbe Lodge . From that office he had gone direct to that of Secretary , and had just entered on his thirteenth year in that capacity .
He had always endeavoured to fulfil the duties of the office to the best of his ability , and hoped that he might be spared for many years more to discharge the dnties of Seoretary of the Lodge . If the newly-admitted brethren were anxious for work they would find a fair field in their Lodge , while if they
regularly attended the meeting of Lodges of Instruction they would discover the gems and diamonds of Freemasonry . Bro . Kidman added his thanks . He always endeavoured to study the comfort of the brethren and always strove to do his best in the discharge of his duties as Steward of the Lod ge . Bro . Smart referred to the
pleasure he felt in having seen two of his frieuda admitted that day and assured the brethren ho shonlrl always strive to promote the interests of the Lodge . Bro . Collens felt especiall y grateful to the Worshi pful Master , inasmuch as it was on his introduction that he ( Bro . Collens ) had been admitted as a member of the Lodge . Nothing could have
given him greater pleasure than to have acted , as he had that day done , as Director of Ceremo > ies and present him—his father in Freemasonry—for the benefits of Installation . The health of the Officers was next submitted , the W . rshipfnl Master terming this the " working" toast . If the Officers only gave attention to their duties
the succee 8 s of a Lodge was nssured . The Seuior Warden assured the brethren it was the earnest desire of tho Officers to give the Worshi pful Master the heartiest support , while the Junior Warden said that deeds rather than words should prove the siucerity of their desires . Each of the other Officers replied in turn .
Brother Forbes , the Inner Guard , referring to the loss tbey had experienced by the death of Brother Past Master Newton , for whom , and for two other members , the Lodge was draped in mourning . Bro . Miller then referred to the part Bro . Newton had taken in the past career of the Lodge . It was , indeed , through him the
Lodge was what it was . About the year 1863 he and some fourteen others had joined the William Preston Lodge , which was at that time on its last legs , having but four or five members . Lt then met at Putney , but was immediately removed to Upper Norwood , from
whence it had been removed to its present quarters at the Cannon Street Hotel . All who knew tbe part Bro . Newton had taken in that revival especially mourned his loss , which too was regretted by all who were acquainted with him . The Tyler ' s toast was then given , and tho proceedings were brought to a conclusion .
