the W . M . introduced Bro .

On the whole fche hearers were in full accord with the remarks of the

lecturer . On one or two points very interesting observations were made by intelligent brethren , with the result of enlightening tbe minds of many present , and enabling them to understand points and practices which they had not up to that time fully comprehended the importance of . At the conclusion of the lecture , Bro . Stevens was greeted with much applause , and the thanks of the Lodge of

Instruction were cordially voted in slight acknowledgment of his services , the W . M . expressing his gratification to find that the working of Masonic ceremonial at Brighton agreed so nearly with that which had been set forth by the lecturer . He considered that he ( the lecturer ) should be heard far and wide , as many Lodges might then be able to correct existing fallacies ; aud by others , that their mem

bers might be confirmed , as in their own case , in the correctness of their mode of working , Bro . Stevens , in acknowledging the compliment , stated that the invite the Lodge had made , and the reception they had accorded him , were ample reward for any service he had rendered , his object being to receive , and , as far as was in his

power , to give , Masonic instruction . He should be prepared , on reasonable notice , to repeat his evening ' s work in any other Lodge , Provincial or Metropolitan . The Lodge was then closed , and a most agreeable and enthusiastic evening was terminated by a brief entertainment in the way of refreshment afc the usual meeting room of the Lod ge of Instruction , afc Bro .
