Humber Lodge, No. 57.

desire to further the cause of Masonry . When he saw the portrait of Bro . Feetham , surrounded by the great emblems of the Craft , it gave to him the assurance that those great principles he espoused would be carried out in the future for the welfare of this Lodge ( applause ) . In assisting to carry out that aim he felt he should be supported by the brethren collectively . He had been most fortunate

in the selection of his officers , and it afforded him the utmost encouragement to think he was placed firmly in that chair , aud that he enjoyed the confidence and respect of the brethren . He was reminded that six months ago he made a promise which was yet unfulfilled , namely , the restoration of this Lodge , but he felt it to be his duty to redeem that pledge before he retired from tho position it

was his honour to fill ( applause ) . He had a scheme before him by which he hoped to be able to raise sufficient funds to place the Lodge in a thorough state of repairs , worthy of Masonry ; and ho trusted that when he retired from the chair he should do so in the consciousness of having done his duty ( applause ) . At all events he should know he delivered up tho insignia of his office in the state he

received it , pure and unsullied . Having " Faith , Hope and Charity to build upon , he was certain they must progress , in spite of any little difficulties which they might expect to encounter . The speaker then went on to trace the origin of the Benevolent and Pension Fund , observing that it was proposed in 1830 , by Bro . Feetham , that as soon as 20 members signed the requisition such a fund should be

formed . He asked were there 20 members now in a Lodge who did not subscribe to that fund ? ( hear , hear ) . He believed there were not ten ( applause ) . The money now amounted to nearly £ 5 , 000 , aud he trusted as in the past , so in the future , it would be devoted to the purpose which the founders intended , namely , tho relief of the aged and distressed . If they decided thoughfully to enlarge the

basis of their operations , they might , he thought , do a much greater amount of good with the capital which had accumulated to so large a sum ( applause ) . In conclusion , ho paid a high tribute of praise to the officers who had worked with him during the past year , and thanked tho company for the compliment which they had paid them . Bros . H . Toozes and E . Kidd also returned thanks in suitable

terms . Bro . Martin Kemp , P . M ., next proposed " the Worshipfnl Masters , Officers , and brethren of tho Sister Lodges—tho Minerva and the Kingston , " the toast being cordially received and responded to by Bro . J . Brooke , Prov . Grand Senior Deacon , and W . M . of tho Minerva Lodge , and by Bro . E . W . Garforth , I . P . M . of the Kingston Lodge , in

the absence of the W . M ., Bro . Hunt . Bro . T . Sissons , P . M ., then gave the " Trustees , Treasurers , and Past Masters of the Humber Lodge , " Bro . Alderman Seaton , P . M ., responding .
