seemed equally to bother the memory of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , who seconded the unanimous vote . The Committee which had been appointed . to enquire into the restoration of Tewkesbury Abbey reported , per Bro . Vassar-Smith , that the work , a portion of which the Lodge had in view , was started by Bro . Collins , but since then
Tewkesbury Brethren had had to mourn the loss both of that good Mason and of Bro . Fred Moore , who had also substantially interested himself in the work . The repairs contemplated would cost £ 520 . The Prov . Grand Master , in deploring the loss of the Brethren mentioned , remarked that the former had been for many years a personal friend ,
while no one who had known Bro . Moore could fail to recognise the good work he did for his native place and for Masonry . He hoped that the name of Bro . Collins would be handed down for all time , associated with the building he had done so much to preserve and beautify . The expenditure
was agreed to when Bro . Baker had explained that already the Tewkesbury Brethren had volunteered to contribute £ 200 of the £ 520 , in addition to the amount they had already individually contributed to the restoration work . The Officers for the ensuing year were invested as

W . Window ----- Tyler . The Provincial Grand Master , before closing the business , embraced the opportunity of expressing the warm thanks of the members of Prov . Grand Lodge for . the hospitable welcome extended to visiting Brethren by the members of the three city Lodges , and in especial they thanked the Very Worshipful the Dean not only for the eloquent discourse
they had just listened to , but for the privilege of attending service in that magnificent Cathedral , whose condition showed the care with which the custodians discharged their trust . The opportunity of worshipping as a body in the Cathedral and of holding Lodge in that historic Chapter House was indeed a privilege that contributed largely to the profit and pleasure of the Province .
To this the Dean replied that nowhere should Provincial Grand Lodge expect a heartier welcome than in the building which bore such substantial evidence of their princely munificence .
After Provincial Grand Lodge had been closed in due form , Brethren to the number of about 150 sat down to a banquet served at the Bell Hotel . The post-prandial proceedings were none the less cordial and patriotic owing to the news from Pretoria . The Gloucester Brethren had
applied themselves m good earnest to the task of making the proceedings pleasurable , and not the least enjoyable feature of the day was the beautiful singing of a large glee-party conducted by Bro . W . H . Morgan . The permission to smoke was conveyed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer remarking "The more tobacco you smoke the better it will be . "
Bro . the Rev . C . J . Martyn , who responded for the toast of Grand Lodge in a thoroughly characteristic speech , reminded the Prov . Grand Master of the early Freemasons of whom the Dean had spoken in his sermon , and who were exempt from taxes of all kinds . If the Prov . G . M . were to put that principle into practice , at least within that Province ,
Freemasonry would flourish beyond precedent . The Prov . Grand Master , replying to the toast of his health , remarked that it was a characteristic of all parties irrespective of politics that each tried to get out of paying taxes and each tried to get as much as it could out of the
Exchequer . The suggestion of Bro . Martyn might have commended itself to him were it not for the recollection of what happened to the early Freemasons who were exempt from taxation . Were they not bitterly persecuted by the taxpayers , and finally driven to take refuge in the island in Lake Maggiore ?
