He was confident that the new Grand Master would discharge the duties of his office to the best of his ability , and that he would do justice to tho Craft . They knew that he was an honourable , highminded man , and they felt that he would do what ho believed to be right , without fear and without favour . He trusted that during tho reign of the present Grand Master there would bo an inauguration or
extension of those matters of benevolence which it was their duty , as well as their creed , to devise and carry into execution . He hoped he might say that now , at tho end of those eight years during which he had held the office of Grand Master , ho handed down the ritnal which was handed down to him by his illustrious predecessors , and he hoped it would be transmitted in tho same way—unimpaired —to future years . lie said so , because ho was of opinion that the Grand Lodge should bo a model for all daughter Lodges , and that
Grand Lodge Of Scotland.
there should be uniformity throughout these Lodges * Sir Michael then asked a hearty support to the new Grand Master . He knew it was not always an easy matter to preside over the deliberations of tho Grand Lodge of Scotland . They had had a fow stormy evenings there . When Scotchmen entered into a subject which they had at heart , they always used tho fortitcr in re , and sometimes they were
not quite mindful of tho suaviter in modo . But he was suro they would accord tho now Grand Master tho samo support as they had kindly given him , and would drink to his happiness and success . The G rand Master , who was received with prolonged and enthusiastic cheering , thanked the brethren for the reception they had given him , and . referred to the responsibility of succeeding such a Mason as his
predecessor . However , ho would do his utmost to follow the ex . ample which was beforo him ; and he asked the brethren to strengthen his hands . Grand Lodgo was now in a satisfactory condition , but thoro was plenty of work to be done . For instance , he thought returns should bo obtaiued regularly from the Lodges in the Provinces , and that Provincial Grand Lodges would do well to act as tho Grand
Committee had . done in sending to inspect tho Lodges in tho Metro , politan district . There was some grumbling about that at first , but all had escaped scathless except one Lodge , but it had since come to the front again . Ho mentioned that the income of the Grand Lodge dur . ing the past year had been £ 4 , 390 , and its gross expenditure £ 2 , 986 , so that tho excess of income had been £ 1 , 400 . That was a satis .
factory state of affairs , and they would not bo long getting out of debt at that rate . The number of culrants had been 3 , 883 , and he hoped it wonld go on at the same rate . In concluding , he referred to the presence of Past Grand Master Whyte-Melvillo , who had worthily presided over the Grand Lodgo , and had since taken much interest in Freemasonry .

He then stated that during the eight years he had held office , since 1873 , there had been 127 charters granted to new Lodges , and six old Lodge 3 had been reponed . The entrants had numbered 33 , 489 .
The debt of Grand Lodge in 1877 had been annually increasing . In March 1877 , it amounted to £ 11 , 000 ; at this moment it was £ 2 , 500 —so that £ 8 , 500 had been wiped off . Sir Michael thou reviewed the work of those eight years , and attributed much of what had been done to the care and energy of the Grand Officers , and to the committee and members of Grand Lodge . He had , he said , done what ho
could , and was now content to take his place among the dowagers . Past Master Whyte-Melvillo also replied . A variety of toasts fol . lowed ,. among which were— "The Foreign Grand Lodges , " "The Deputo Grand Master , " proposed by Past Grand Master Whyte . Melville ; " The Countess of Mar and Kellie , " bv Sir Archibald C . Campbell ; " The Substitute Grand Master , " by Bro . J . T . S . Eiliot ;
and " Lady Octavia Shaw-Stewart . " The deputations from daughter Lodges where then toasted , coupled with the names of tho brethren heading those , who replied , and congratulated the Grand Master on appointment to his high office , and assured him of their loyalt y aud support .

silence , the Grand Lodge was closed in ample form , and the brethren separated . The programme was interspersed with songs by several of the brethren , and selections by the band .
