The brethren assembled at two o ' clock , when tho provincial and other officers formed in procession and conducted tho Grand Master into tho hall . The Lodge having been duly formed , the ceremony of dedication was proceeded with , during which the Prov . Grand Master addressed the brethren , saying it was gratifying to know that tho old

hall had becomo too small , as it showed the Ordor in the town was increasing to a great extent . Bcforo ho asked their assistance in dedicating that hall ho proposed to mako a fow introductory remarks in reference to tho Order . Having done this , tracing Masonry back and dealing with it in a most interesting manuer , ho wont on to speak of the glorious and snperb odifices erected in the middlo ages , and

many of which exist to tho presont day , as evidences ot the skill in architectural construction possessed by their forefathers in those days . Alluding to Masonic Lodcres , the Prov . Grand Master spoke of the timo of Queen Elizabeth . When she ascended tho throno sho heard thero was a body of men called Freemasons , who carried on certain mysteries , and she ordered a Royal Commission to inquire into the

merits of the Order , and after the result of the inquiry had been furnished to her she ordered Freemasonry should be no more interfered with , and since then they had never suffered persecution , bub had been rather encouraged by those highest in rank , or , at all events , not opposed by them . He then pointed out that Masonry had existed while mighty empires had crumbled away , and alluded to the

unmistakable causes of its unsullied existence . From generation to goneration thero had been many eminent men who had stood forth and made it thoir particular object to disseminate tho lessons of Masonry . Others there had been less zealous in thoir day , but who , nevertheless , would stand out in such eminence as to be revered and respected , as having done their best to extend tho principles of the Order . So

long as they possessed such men as thoso they need never entertain any doubt that the Order would flourish , or the principles of it be lost . In whatever part of the world brothers meet tho bond of union between them was very powerful . Tho mystic signs had been known to arrest the sway of tho sword in war . But thero wa 3 something pure in the ties which bind brethren togethren . In the hall he was

about to dedicate he trusted the pure principles of Masonry would bo carried out . Might they be carried out unsullied within those walla , and might every one who entered that hall be impressed with a desire to do something in his day and generation to promote and enconrage the principles of tho Order of which he waa a brother . The hall was then dedicated to Masonry , some solemn music being rendered during

tho ceremony , the solos being impressively sung by Bros . P . M . Phillips and Poole . This being concluded , Bro . Weston addressed tho Pro Grand Master , saying at the early part of tho present year they embarked in tho undertaking of erecting that cdifico for tho pnrposes of Masonry , and they had met that day to celebrate its completion . They were encouraged by his ( the Prov . Grand Master ' s )

presence at its commencement , when ho kindly assisted in laying the corner stone of the building , and at that time it was briefly explained that from tho rapid increase of Freemasonry in tho town , the hall in which thoy had so many years assembled wa 3 inadequate for carry , ing on tho work . They would have been pleased that if by a moderate and indicions expenditure they could have enlarged and

modernised it , but the tenure of tho property would not justify them in adopting that course , and it was with considerable regret they left a placo endeared to them by many pleasant and happy reminiscences . It was there a majority of thoso by whom he was surrounded had become Masons , and many pleasnrablo and profitable hours had been spent within its portals . There many friendships had been formed , which would terminate only when with them time itself would be no
