Masons At Church.

MASONS AT CHURCH .

THE Church of St . Andrew ' s , Holborn Viaduct , was yesterday afternoon ( Sunday ) the scene of a unique ceremony—a Masonic service . Between four and five hundred of the Brethren , representing a large number of the Lodges of London , took advantage of the opportunity to be present , while the rest of the church was occupied by their friends and female relatives . In

consequence of the presence of other than Masons nothing in the nature of a Masonic rite was introduced into the service , but , in spite of this , the scene was decidedly picturesque , for all the Masons were clothed in their regalia . Here were members of the Craft in the white goat-skin apron , bordered with light sky-blue

watered ribbon , and decorated with silver tassels ; there others , wearing , in addition , a collar of similar coloured silk , from which depended some jewel showing their rank in the Lodge . Again , others wore their aprons bordered with scarlet and blue , with a sash of the same colours , demonstating that they were members

of a higher degree , and not a few wore the dark blue ribbon and decorations betokening that they were members of the Grand Lodge of England . Along with apron , collar , and its dangling emblem , many of those present wore on their left breast the jewels to which they were entitled as members of Masonic

Institutions and Orders . Most conspicuous in this respect was the Very Worshipful James Terry Secretary of the Eoyal Masonic Benevolent Institution , and Past Grand Sword Bearer of the Grand Lodge of England , who acted as Master of the Ceremonies , and whose coat was covered with as many decorations

as if he had been the hero of a hundred fights , and not of as many victories gained in so worthy a cause as the Masonic Brotherhood while the Venerable Archdeacon Sinclair , who preached the sermon , wore the dark blue collar and order denoting that he was a Past Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of England . Nor was the choir less conspicuously Masonic , for although

aprons were not worn by the Masons who were members of it , they wore collars over their surplices , thus carrying the touch of the Brotherhood almost to the foot of the altar itself .

Among the other well-known members of the Fraternity present were : —The Grand Treasurer Alderman Vaughan Morgan , Colonel Davies Sewell , and Dr . Mickley , both Past Grand Officers .

The lessons were read by the Rev . E . A . Penson , M . A ., and the Eev . H . Blunt , M . A ., the Sector of the Church of St . Andrew ' s , through whose kindness in giving the use of his church

for the occasion , the holding of the service—which was arranged by Bro . H . Kemp—was due , as was the only other Masonic service of a similar character , which was held three years ago in Stl James ' s , Garlickhithe , Thames Street .

After the sermon , for which the text taken by Archdeacon Sinclair was " Love worketh no ill to his neighbour : therefore love is the fulfilling of the law " ( Eomans xiii ., 10 ) , a collection was made on behalf of the Eoyal Masonic Benevolent Institution for Aged Freemasons . — " Morning . "

Service At Ilford.

SERVICE AT ILFORD .

BY permission of the Vicar ( the Eev . H . W . E . Molony , M . A . ) , a service for Freemasons was held at St . Clement ' s Church , Ilford , on Sunday afternoon . Brethren to the number of 162 assembled in an empty house near the church , and , preceded by the choir and clergy , marched in procession to the church . The processional hymn was , " All people that on earth do dwell . "

Nearly all the Masons appeared in Craft or Royal Arch clothing aud jewels . The clergy present were Bro . the Venerable Archdeacon Stevens Past Grand Chaplain ot England ; Bro . the Rev . W . H . Tozer , A . K . O ., Lodge 2005 , of St . James ' s , Forest Gate '; and the Eev . H . W . E . Molonv . The service was fully

choral , and the musical arrangements , which were under the direction of Bro . W . Maxwell , organist of St . Clement ' s , and Bro . H . J . Chatterton , were all that could be desired . The anthem , which was beautifully rendered , was " Behold how good and joyful , " Bro . H . J . Chatterton taking the solo .

Archdeacon Stevens delivered the address , taking his text from II . Chronicles v ., 13 and 1 _ . In the course of his remarks he described the building of the Temple and the preparations that were -made for dedicating it . Speaking of the manner in which the Temple was built , he said they were reminded that something like this took place when the cathedral of St . Paul ' s

was reared 200 years ago . Ihere was to be a great service on the 2 nd December next , to commemorate the 200 th anniversary of that cathedral . It was supposed , with very good reason , that the building was largely raised by members of the Order of Freemasons , and for this reason—a very striking one—as it was reared no profane language was heard , no oath , and no

blasphemy . The people gave willingly , and the workmen entered upon the work in a very different spirit to that which , unhappily , was to be found in these later days . They took wages and earned them . There was confidence between workmen and those set over them . There was mutual esteem and regard which inspired them to contribute of their substance aud to work their best . He reminded them that the object of

their offerings that day was to provide an organ for the church , and pointed out how greatly an organ was required . Speaking about the promotion of oneness and uuity amongst people , he said they had a great part in promoting harmony and peace in the society in which they lived , in this country , and , as far as might be , in the nations of the world . They looked for a period of universal peace , and prayed for it .-

The offertory , which was taken at the conclusion of the address , and is to form the nucleus of a fund to provide an organ for the church , amounted to „ 53 10 s 7 d . [ This , we believe , has since been augmented , by private subscriptions , to something like £ 600 . —ED . F . C . I

The arrangements for the service were carried out by a committee of just upon 100 , of which Bro . John R . Smith W . M . 1421 was Chairman , and Bros . H . J . Chatterton 1185 , W , Pallaut J . D . 1421 , and J . G . Whitehead 1421 were the joint Hon . Secretaries . Bro . J . E . Johnson P . M . 2005 P . P . S . G . D . Essex was the Director of Ceremonies . — " Ilford Advertiser . "

The monument to the memory of the late Brother W . H . Kirby is now erected in High Wycombe cemetery . It is to be unveiled to-day ( Saturday ) by Brother E . Letchworth Grand Secretary , at 4 o ' clock , ancl it is expected a large number oi

Masonic friends of the deceased will be present . It is proposed to leave Paddington by a special train at 2-30 p . m ., and to return from High Wycombe about 5 o ' clock . We understand the monument is of a most interesting and unique characterdistinctly Masonic . It was designed by Bro . H . „ . Wellcome .
