must net omit to mention that previous to initiating- tho two gentlemen already referred to , Bro . Radclyffo invested his predecessor with a P . M . ' s jewel . In doing so ho expressed the delight he experienced in being called upon to perforin this ceremony . Bro . Speedy had deserved well at the hands of the members of the Lodge , and ho was particularly gratified in presenting- tl e token of their esteem and
regard . Bro . Speedy briefly thanked the members for the jewel which he lumped to wear for many years , and which ho should never disgrace . The brethren then repaired to the banquet room avhere n first-rate repast awaited them . At the conclusion thereof . Bro . Radclyffo gave the usual loyal toasts , and then proposed that of the Pro G . M .. tlie Deputy G . M ., and the rest of the Grand and Provincial
Grand Officers past and present . With this toast ho coupled tho name of Bro . J . L . Mather , apologising to Bro . F . Binckes for pissing over him , as he intended later in tho evening calling upon that brother . Bro . Mather considered himself p laced in a somewhat peculiar position , as tho AV . M . had put him and tho Provincial Officers generally on a par with tho Grand Officers . However , ho responded to the
toast willi niensnro . Personally , and he believed he might say on ho ' r . nlf of all the other representatives of tho foist who were present , he desired to fender thanks for the reception that had been accorded them that night . Tt had been a g'reat treat to be present . The next toasfc on Ihe list the AV . M . considered a most important ono for Masons in ' -eneial , and their own Loclg-o in particular , it was that of two of the
youngest members of the Fraternity—Bros . F . A . Abraham and H . Posfon—tho initiates of tho evening ' . They wero always pleased to see initiates , especially when they were stamped as of the right sort . Tf they would only aspire to tho Master ' s chair they wonld do all thafc was needed of them as brother Masons , as ho considered it impossible for anv one to aim at that position without thoy had
Freemasonry at heart . Bro . Abrahams was the first to respond . He had great satisfaction in having been admitted as ono of the Craft ; ifc had long been his desire to join Freemasonry , but from various reasons he had nntdr . no so nut . il then . He had been greatly impressed with the ceremony he had gone through , and felt greater
respect than ever for tho noblo institution . Ho thanked tho brethren for tho kind way in which they had received him , and also for tho hearty reception they had accorded to tho toasfc . Bro . Pnsfon also tendered his thanks to the brethren . Bro . Radclyffe then save tho toast of tho Charities—tho toast he considered the most
important in Freemasonry . Thoy all know Freemasonry was essentially a Charitable Institution . Charity was taught in the first ceremony , and adhered to throughout the work . Although thoy could hardly call the Institutions founded in London a part of Freemasonry , yet they were so intimately connected with it as to be—as he trusted they always would be—inseparable from it , and therefore it was that
they delighted in making special reference to thom . The Crystal Palace Lodge was well known for its support to theso Institutions ; it seldom allowed a , year to pass without working for either one of tho three , and sometimes sent , tip moro than one brother to represent it at tho Festivals of the year . They were endeavouring to make themselves Vice-Presidents of tho Boys' School , and in order to render this
an accomplished fact as early as possible ho would offer himself as a Steward for 1881 , if the brethren would promise to do their best to support his list . Bro . Frederick Binckes Secretary Royal Masonic Institution for Boys desired first , to express his thanks to the AVorshipful Master for having proposed this toast at so early an hoar instead of leaving it as was nsnally the case until most of the brethren
had retired . The Charities wo . ro so well known and supported in the Crystal Palace Lodge that , he doubted whether it was possible forbim to say anything unknown to the members , or bring forward any arguinrnts which had not been worked upon by the brethren who had from timo to timo served tho office of Steward . He believed that the Craffc had never known a moro zealous worker in tho cause of
Charity than their AVorshipful Master , Bro . Radclyffo ; if he succeeded in the work he had in hand—thafc of establishing a supplementary Charity fund—he would accomplish one of the proudest projects it could be possible for a man to conceive . Ho felt sura that ho would accomplish it;—if good wishes availed anything he was secure on that piint . Bro . Binckes hoped the Steward who would
represent the Lodgo at the coming Festival of tho Boys' School wonld be woll supported ; ifc was only by all uniting and giving all the aid they conld thafc success could be secured . He failed to imagine what would have been his position had ho not met so many friends—ho could number them from all parts of the country—who had worucd with him in carrying out the proudest wish of his heart . Ifc was a
great delight to him to mix with the brethren ou such occasions as the present . AVhatever mi ght be said about Visiting Secretaries , he for one wonld maintain that ono personal visit to a Lodge Mas worth moro than any nnmbor of circulars . If on a visit like that ho was enabled to enlist tho support of ono or two , he was well satisfied . He wonld conclude by asking the initiates of tho
evening not to gauge their admission into Freemasonry by the pleasures of the night , but to learn that there were other associations intimately connected with tho Order . Bro . Speedy proposed the next toast—that of the AVorshipful Master , iu a few well-chosen words . Bro . Rarlclyfie , in reply , said ho foil very deeply tho kind wfiv in which ho had been recvived . Bro . Binckes had
alluded to linn as a worker in charily ; well , ho must admit that tbo furtherance of Masonic charity had been his aim ever since ho entered tho Craft . Having undertaken tho starting of a special fund for the assistance of Masonic pupils , ho assured tho brethren he should work bard lo bring it to a successful issue , which he also desired to do as rogardc :: ! his position of AV . M . of the Crystal Palace Lodge . The toast , of tho Visitors was next
given ; Pro . Terry of Ledge No . 3 and Bro . Bill of 202 , replying . Bro . Terry returned the heartiest , thanks of tho guests fcr the reception that had been accorded them . Every Mason he said who had heard the name of RadcIy U ' e wonld agree with him that the Crystal Palace Lodge now had a most hard-working and zealous brother at its head . The toast of the Installing and other Past Masters camo next , to which Bro . Hume replied . He had hoped when he finished
