Thnrston , who presided , said grace both

before and after refreshment . On removal of the cloth , the Queen and tho Crnft , H . R . H . the Princo of Wales M . W . G . M ., the Earl of Carnarvon M , W . Pro G . M ., the Earl of Lathom D . G . M ., and the rest of the Grand Officers past and present , wero giveu from tho chair as Loyal and Masonic toasts , and duly honoured with all fealty . The Immediate Past Master Bro . Daren then proposed the health of the

Master elect . Ho remarked that it afforded him much gratification in discharging that duty . They were all acquainted with their Master , who had been among them holding offices in their Lodge which he had filled with groat ability . They all knew that ho wonld fill tho chair during tho ensuing year with credit to himself and with great advantago to tho Lodge also . A . Master of a Lodge should pos .

seas an intimate knowledge , not only of the duties appertaining to his own position , but relatively those allied to every office therein . It had been a source of much pleasure to him to know that their Master had been nnanimously elocted . That fact deserved special mention , having reference as it did to such a Lodge as the Royal Jubilee , indeed , it was a very significant fact . He hoped that

his successor wonld have a successful year of office , and in addition , that no untoward circumstances would cast a gloom over any of them during that period . Thoir Master had taken office with all the best wishes of the members , all of whom respected hira for his many excellent qualities and abilities . The toast , he was assured , would be pledged in the manner peculiar to tho Lodge . The Worshipful

Master , in acknowledging the compliment , said that it was very grati . fying to him to know that he had tho respect and entire confidence of" tho brethren . Ho was initiated in this Lodge six years since . At that time he was asked , " Do yon intend to go forward ? " His answer was in the affirmative ; and ns they were all aware , he had " gone forward . " The result was patent to them at that moment . Perhaps

some mig ht deem what ho was stating somewhat egotistical . He did not intend that what he stated shonld convey such a meaning . Why he so spoke was , because there were many young brethren present , and he wished to incite them to action , so that they , by care , attention , and earnest endeavour , might also reach the goal , become Masters , and then pass to dignified case . He could not too

strongly impress on their minds the necessity of possessing an inti . mate and practical knowledge of all that appertained to their Order . It wonld be a source of p leasure and comfort to them if they did so , and why shonld they not become conversant with dutios which every Freemason shonld know perfectly ? A short time since he was visit , ing a Lodge which had continued in a state of stagnation for several

years . In fact , nothing had been done ¦ the oven tenonr of their way had been undisturbed , when it was resolved to receive an initiate . But the members had so forgotten themselves and their dnty to the Order , that they were nnable to admit him themselves for that very cause ! He had no fear that the Royal Jubilee Lodge would suffer such a lapse for a

single moment . He merely adduced an instance , in passing , to show what wonld ensne when dnties were omitted . He thanked them with all sincerity for having placed him in tho chair , and in order to prove that he fully appreciated the hononr conferred on him , he would strive to do his dnty . He was conscions of the fact that ho shonld bo supported by efficient and diligent Officers , who wonld on

all occasions render him ready aid and co-operation . Tho past year had been one of uninterrupted success , a success , he hoped , that wonldcoritinue . He was succeeding a Mastor , who had—he did not speak invidiously—filled the chair with more ability than his predecessors , and therefore he ( the W . M . ) would strive to maintain the vrestvie thereof . Ho thought ho possessed the ability , in addition

to the will , to do so , and he wonld endeavour to exercise it with due diligence and caution . It wonld cause him unfeigned sorrow if , through his nnwnrthiness , the Lodge shonld , under his direction , lose its gr . o .-l name . TIIH W . M . then proposed the health of the Immediate Past Master , Bro . A . Darch , who had filled the chair with so much ability and success during tlio past year . He ( the W . M . ) felt that if

he himself imitated their Past Master ho conld not fail to succeed . As tho Lodge had unanimously voted him a jewel , the fitting moment had arrived when he should bo invested therewith , and in affixing it on Bro . March ' s breast , ho was confident that no Bro . under any circumstances had more merited snch a " token of esteem and appreciation of valuable services , " than had Bro . Past Master Darch .

All present would endorse that assertion . He hoped that ho would be spared to wear that jewel among them for a long series of years to come , and that every possible blessing might accompany him through the remaining portion of his pilgrimage . Bro . Past Master Darch , in responding to the toast , was deeply affected . He said that hia tongue failed to g ive expression to his manifold
