Bro . Edward Cesari . Nearly all those who had represented tbe northern Lodges at tbe installation ceremony were present . Grace was said by Rev . Bro . Thomson , Fodderty , after which the Brethren partook of a very sumptuous dinner , whioh was purveyed in a high class manner by the proprietor of tho hotel , Mr . Macfarlanp . Only a few toasts wore submitted , the first being the Qneen and the Craft .
The next toast was that of tho Most Worshipful the Grand Master , Sir Archibald Campbell of Blythswood , M . P . In submitting this toast , Tbe Chairman said this was the first occasion upon whioh they had been honoured with a visit from tbe Grand Master of Scotland , and he was sure every one present was struck , as well as he had been ,
with the remarkable knowledge he possessed of Masonry , and also with tho cnurtpfuis and kindly manner in which he discharged the duties of tho office . In tho northern counties Masonry was not , he was afraid , as strong as it ought to be , but that was mainly due to their isolation , > md also , it must be admitted , to lack of that enourngement from tho central body whioh ho considered was due to them .
He was delighted to seo this deputation from tho Grand Lodge with them that evening , and he had no doubt whatever but , the visit -, would result in much good to Masonry in the North . The subject of his toast , however , was the Grand Master of Scotland , and they all knew how much a Mason he was , and what he had to sacrifice in order to be with them that evening . A man who had made the saorifices * -he
had done was worthy of admiration , and he was quite sore they doubly appreciated bis presence with them tbat evening on that account . He asked the brethren to drink the Grand Master ' s health in an unstinted measure , and with Highland honours . Sir Archibald , on rising to respond , was loudly applauded . He said he could not thank the brethren sufficiently for the manner in
which they had received the toast of his health , which had been muoh too flatteringly given by the chairman . He knew very well , and so did all the members of the deputation , that when they came to the far north they would find the heart warmer and the bonds of friendship closer than they found in the south , but he could assure them that they did not anticipate that this kindness would be extended in
such a manner to the humble individual who addressed thorn . It was now twenty-five years since he had the honour of being initiated as a humble member of the Craft . This event took place in Edinburgh shortly after he returned from the Crimea , and he assured them that he never had occasion to regret the step he then took from that moment to tbe present hoar . When he was made a Mason he felt it
had put into his hands a knowledge whicb , if properly worked , might be of use to his fellow-countrymen , and that was the greatest object which any man could attain or aspire to . He felt particularly proud that it had fallen to his lot to perform that afternoon one of the most interesting of ceremonies—the installation of two Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Masters , and he trusted tbat in the future , as a
result of that ceremony , they would be able to see that bond of union between the north and the sonth , of which the chairman had spoken , more closely cemented . This was not the first time he had the pleasure of being in Inverness , but it never occurred to him then that it would be his lot in the future to visit the north as the Grand Master Mason of Scotland , and witness tbe honour they had that evening
conferred upon him . Their Chairman had spoken of Masonry in high terms , and he could assure them from experience , that he did not say one word too much in that respect . He honestly believed , and always maintained , that Masonry if properly worked was a noble institution , aud could be productive of much good to society . It was one of those orders which reached them from a far distant past , and which
commended itself to their minds in this , the end of the 19 th century , when they went so fast . They onght not to pass over in the midst of that hurry-scurry , bnsy life of theirs , snch noble features of human nature as were found in Masonry , for instance the sympathy thafc one man might have for another . One of the outstanding features , and what he might term the mainspring of the Order , was love for their
neighbours—a principle which had been inculcated by their Great Master , and he hoped and trusted that , in the future as in tbe past , the Order of Masonry would never forget to practise that noble virtue . He hoped that thoso present , and particularly the two brothers who had been that afternoon installed into the high and honourable office of Provincial Grand Master , would endeavour , as much as possible , to
carry out , and act upon , those principles , and if they did that , they would not experience any difficulty in increasing their numbers , and the number of lodges . Sir Archibald , after again thanking the brethren for their welcome , resumed his seat amid applause . The Chairman next proposed the Grand Officers , Present and Past , remarking that they had with them that evening twelve Grand
Officers wbo had come a long way to be present , and were entitled to their gratitude . The toast was responded to by Provost Christie Stirling , Although they had to move about a great deal on Masonic business , he said it gave the deputation the greatest possible pleasure to come to Inverness . Tbey were delighted to be in tbe capital of the north , and to
see such a large and influential attendance of the Brethren . The Chairman next proposed the health of Sir Henry Macandrew and Sir Hector Monro , The Provincial Grand Masters of Inverness , shire and Ross-shire . Were it for nothing else , the Right Worshipful Master said , than to draw so many Masons from «]] parts of the north of Scotland together , he thought it was worth while to have
bad those elections . It was absolutely necessary that something should be done by way of calling into operation what he mi ght term a central government . And though they had cast a net all over the north of Scotland tbey could not have got two gentlemen who were more eminently qualified for the office to which they had been so unanimously appointed . His friend , Sir Hector Munro , had a rather
difficult task placed upon him . He had to visit , the Islands of the West included in his province—indeed , perhaps Masonry was the onl y panacea which would induce the Crofters to become peaceable and quiet . He knew tbat Sir Henry was nnder promise to go shortly to Portree to open a Lodge there . He also knew thafc he was expressing tho unanimous opinion of all tho masons iu the north
Scotland.
when he said thafc both the appointments had given the greatest possible satisfaction . In responding to the toast of his health , Sir Henry Macandrew said he thanked them from the bottom of his heart for the honour thoy had done him , and his Brethren in the Lodges in tho Province , for electing him as their Provincial Grand Master . He felt tbankfnl
to the Grand Lodge for having confirmed that appointment , and now for coming to Inverness to instal him . He was a tolerably old Mason . Hia experience iu that capacity extended over thirty . five years , and he looked back npon the five years be occnpied the post as Master of St . John ' s as perhaps the happiest period of his life . The Grand Master Mason , in a halting way , had made reference to their convivial
meetings , but he looked npon their convivial meetings as one of tbe best oarts of the Order of Masonry . They all—be did not know whether it was the same in other times—now lived in a scene of the keenest competition , nnd amid a great deal of rivalry in business , but whori they met together at their convivial meetings in the Mason Lodge all that rivalry and keen competition were forgotten , and they
met as friends and brothers . O . ie of the great banefits which Masonry conferred was the placing of men upon au equality—they met as brethren and enjoyed themselves . So far as he was able during his term of office he endeavoured as far as possible to promote tbat feeling . He often wished that they knew more of the Grand Lodge than they did . They knew it as a great institution , which
inspired great awe , but whioh they only knew as an institution for exacting fees , an exaction whicb , he must say , was very successful , and very inveterate . Now , however , they would look npon the Grand Lodge with different feelings . They had felt her majestic touch . He thought tbey could not have better representatives of the Grand Lodge than they had with them thafc night . To the brethren of the
Lodges of the Province of Inverness he would like to say that he would try and see them as often as he possibly could . He saw from the Constitutions thafc ib was hia duty to visit the Lodges at least once a year . He would certainly fulfil that obligation . Sir Hector Munro also thanked the Grand Lodge for confirming his appointment for the Province of Ross and Cromarty . It would
be his endeavour to promote the interests of masonry in the north aa much as possible . The most distant Lodge in his Province was Stornoway , and he believed it to be the most flourishing Lodge in the Province . From his own experience he could testify that Masonry inspired good feeling to an almost incredible extent . Daring the time he had been Master Mason in the Dingwall Lodge , he had had
the most kindly feelings manifested towards him . Among the toasts which followed were the health of the Chairman , by Sir Archibald Campbell ; the Worshipful Masters of Sister Lodges , by Sheriff Mackenzie , and responded to by Mr . Tucker , Stornoway ; the newly-installed Masters , by Provost Christie , Stirling , and
responded to by Mr . John Ellis , of St . Mary s Lodge , Inverness ; and tbe Master of Ceremonies , by the Chairman . The evening was enlivened by the singing of songs by a number of the brethren ; and the entertainment was altogether a most successful one , from start to finish .
