health , and also desired to thank tho brethren for the hearty reception they had accorded to it . The present being the first time he had the pleasure of returning thanks as W . M . of the Kingsland Lodge , he felt somewhat nervous . He could assure them that whilo he had the honour to rule over the Lodge , he shonld endeavour to conduct its affairs to the satisfaction of every member , and he hoped
his efforts would meet with snccess . The Kingsland Lodge had always had an equal share of his attentions with his mother Lodge , and although both were situated in Loudon , he felt they were so far apart as to preclude any possibility of their clashing one with the other . It would ever he his endeavonr to do the utmost that lay in his powpr for each of them . He hoped no one would excel him in
good intentions towards either . As a founder of the Kingsland Lodge , he natnrnllv took gTeat interest in its welfare , and he hoped to be associated with it for many years to come ; ind ? ed , he might sav that it was his intention never to sever himself from it ; but as W . M . during the coming year , and as one of its P . M . 's for , he hoped , many years after , to use his utmost endeavours to facilitate the
extension of the good feeling which had characterised the Lodge during the past . In giving the next toast , Bro . Fenner expressed the pleasure he felt in proposing it . It was one that only occurred once a year , heing that of the Installing Master . Bro . Hawkins bad not only fnlfilled his duties in the Lodge during the past year most satisfactorily , but had concluded his Mastership in ablaze of triumph
by working each of the thrpe degrees on the night of his retirement , and then finishing nn by installing his successor , and he had done all this in reallv splendid manner . Tho W . M . felt that . Bro . Hawkins had well earned the P . M . 's jewel , which the brethren had decided on presenting to him , and he had r-reat rleasnre in placing it on his breast . In doing so , he felt he was but expressing the wish of every
brother present when he said he hoped Bro . Hawkins might have health to wear it for many years to come as a memento of that evening , and of the vear he had spent as W . M . of the Kingsland Lodge . Bro . Hawkins felt it was a matter of impossibility for him adequately to thank the members for tho way in which they had received the toast jnst . enven them bv the W . M ., as well as for the great
kindness thev had shown to him during the past yenr , more parti , cnlarlv that evening , when he had received at the hands of the W . M . the jewel he now wore . He shonld at all times look upon it as the most gratifving decoration he could aspire to in Freemasonry . He assnred the brethren one and all he felt very highly their kindness , and he trusted he might long remain a mem .
ber of the Lodge , for which he should at all times do everything that lay in his power . The W . M . next gave the health of the initiate . The toast , ho said , was one always received with a great amount of enthusiasm in Masonic Lodges , but in none more so than in the Kingsland . They had that evening admitted a gentleman to their Lodge who had been well recommended , and who from the
interest he had evinced in the proceedings would donbtless do credit to the brethren who had introduced him . He hoped he might in time become one of the shining lights of the Craft . Bro . Meyer , in reply , tendered his best thanks for all that the brethren had done for him He shonld endeavonr to become as tho Worshinfnl Master had saidone of the brightest members of the Lodge . He honed the brethren
of it might never have occasion to regret having admitted him as a member . The toast of the Visitors having been honoured , Bro ° . Mnllord , Clark and Bernhard repliVd . Pro . Mnllord felt greatly honoured in being selected to respond . He looked upon visiting as one of the princinal fpatnres of Freemasonry , as it was necessary , in order that brethren might dfs lay the brotherly love that was one of
the grand principles of the Order , that they shonld know each other , and that could only be done hv visiting one another's Lodges . He was very ^ ratified to see the ability displayed by the I . P . M . and the W M . then in the chair , and he felt that if futnre Masters desired to keep np to the sta-ndnH of excellence they had attained , it wonld be necpssnrv thev shonld devote themselves thoroughly to their work .
even then they wonld find they had no very light task . Bro . Clark followed . Tt afforded him great pleasure beinc present , that night to witness tho snoceps which attended the installation of Bro . Fenner , who . as might he known tomanv nf those present , was his immediate predecessor in the chair of the U pton Lodge . The W . M . had especial p'ensnre in giving the next toast . It was one which had been
reernlnrly proposed in the Lodge ever since the second Master had been installed in it . being that of the Past , Masters of the Lodge . They of conrse had had no P . M . dn-ing the first year of the Lodge's existence , but , the four they could now muster made ample amends for the omission of the past . Bro . Killick jun . having thanked the brethren for their reception of the toast , said he looked round with a
great amount of pleasnre on the prospects of the Lodee as evidenced by the successful meeting that day , The Past Masters of course took srreat interest , in the Lorl ? e , as its success or otherwise might he taken as an indication of the way in which they hnd carried out the dnties of tho chair in the past . He was very proud to see so many of < he brethren he had had the honour of initiating occupying
prominent positions in the Lodge , indped every Officer up to , and including the two Deacons , had been initiated by him . The Past Masters had but one desire—to see the Lodge prosper . It was their hope that its members wonld always work harmoniously and for the benefit of each othpr . Tn proposing the toast of the Treasurer and Secretary , Bro . Fenner remarked on the great
amount of Masonic knowledge possessed by Bro . Isaac . They onght to he very prond to number tn ' m among the Officers of the Lodge . Bpsidps bis ability to perform the ceremonies of the Order , he was well fitted for the office of Treasurer . He conld be relied on for taking care of the funds of the Lodge , and the brethren might rest Content that no part thereof wonld ever be expended in waste , or
contrary to their wishes . Of the Secretary , he said , Bro . Killick sen . was reall y the hinge on which the Lodge worked . He felt it was mainly ° ue to his unceasing endeavonrs that , the Lodge had come to its present pronrl position . He had never flagged in the work of his office . As a Founder , he had rendered great service , and ever since his whole energy had been thrown into the work required of him . Each of
