Presentation To Bro. J. Pain, P.M. 1339.
PRESENTATION TO BRO . J . PAIN , P . M . 1339 .
A VERY important gathering took place on Saturday evenim * , 30 th ult ., ofc the Crystal Palace , for the purpose of celebrating a double event , the first and most important being a splendid banquet give i by Bother James Pain P . M . of the Stockwell Lodge , No . 3339 the well-known pyrcfceohnioal artist of the Wulwort 1 Road , to
fibou 180 of the employe * at his works at Mitoham , with many rriva •¦ friends , on the occasion of his having arrived at the complp . tion o '" the Jubilee year of his birth ; in the second place t > receive from fmse in his employment a testimonial , as a mark of their esteem aid in appreciation of the uniform kindness aud generosity ho had
always shown towards them , they believing that no fitter opportunity could be found than this auspicious day for making suoh a presentation . Tbe testimonial took the form of a large portrait in oil of Bro . Fain , enclosed in a massive gold frame , by Mr . Solomon , and it had the further merit of being " a speaking likeness . " Moreover , it
carried with it an additional value , inasmuch as every individual in Bro , Pain's service , without a single exoeption , contributed to it . The banquet took plaoe in the Garden Hall , at the south end of the Palace , and in addition to the fare being most bountiful , was served in Messrs . Bertram and Co . ' s best style , which left nothing to be
desired . At tbe conclusion of the repast grace was sung by Miss Catherine James and Messrs . Weston and Sarjeanfc . The usual loyal toasts were given and responded to , after whioh Bro . Pain , who occupied the chair , gave " Pyrotechny , " which was responded to by Mr . George Myers , who spoke of the great feature that pyroteohny
embraced in all the great festivals which took place , not only in this country but in America . There was scarcely a re < retta , a fashionable wedding , a coming of age , or the opening of a public building , where the arrangements were not supplemented by a display of fireworks . On being called upon , Mr . J . P . Grain , the barrister , who was one of
the numerous visitors , addressed a few words of congratulation to Bro . Paio on the occurrence of his 50 th birthday , and expressed the gratification that he and all present must feel in seeing such a kindly relationship between master and servant ; when these were cemented
it formed a very different state of things to what existed some 25 years ago , and in thus bring ng them about Bro . Pain was not only doing a service to those whom he employed , but to the country itself ' In conclusion he said he should set down iu the annals of his career
that his visit on this occasion was one of the happiest days he ever spent in his life . Mr . Lowe said he expected in tho address Mr . Grain had just given them he desired to get them into practice , that they misjht give gusto to the toast he was about to propose , this was the health of their worthy host . He felt it to be a distinguished
honour to have the privilege of proposing suoh a toast . In a short time the Queen would oalebrafce the jubilee of her reign over a loyal and united people ; they , however , were called upon to celebrate that Dight the 50 th birthday of their worthy chairman , and to offer the congratulations of 180 people , employed by him , on this important
occasion . On the other side of the Atlantic Bro . Pain ' s name was as well known as ifc was in Eugland ; they all knew he had had almost insurmountable difficulties to encounter , but he now lived in their minds as an honourable friend , best of fathers , and an honest man ; that being so , he asked them what better tribute did they desire for
the name of Pain . He asked them to join him cordially in celebrating this occasion , and doing honour to their host . The poet had said that one birthday was but the funeral of the past ; but let them go forward , and at the same time be grateful for that which bad gone by . Bro . Paiu was surrounded by his sons ; one had been in
America , and one was about to go to Australia , which , as far as Bro . Pain was concerned , was an unknowa country . Bro . Pain first went to America , he was followed by his son Henry , and , as he the speaker had said , in a few days another son would go to Australia ; he had no doubt that he would there establish the name of Pain as it had
already been done in America . There never had been an occasion , either by day or by night , that his workmen were not willing to do anything when success depended upon their exertions , and in conclusion he would with all oordiality wish their worthy host " many happy returns of the day . " Bro . Pain on rising to respond said : —Mr .
Vice-Chairman , Ladies , and Gentlemen , —I am called upon to inflict upon you a little more of my tedious talk ; I hope , however , that you will take it in all sincerity ; I mean what I say . Mr . Lowe ha 3 spoken many things flattering to myself , and I know that he meant them . Of course every individual is permitted to live and work up to a cer .
tain time . Four things I have had the privilege to enjoy in my career . In the first place it had pleased Providence to give me good health ; iu tbe second place I had a good wife ; in the third place I had the assistance of my sons ; and in the fourth place I had good daughters to help me - , and if a man cannot work and get on under
these conditions there must be something wrong indeed . My presence here to-night speaks more than my tongue can express . I will say this , that no employer could have more fathful servants than those I possess , bat of course it is not the lot of every one to hive such strong support as I have always received from my sons . I have
seen wealthy men in business , and their sons , instead of beta" a blessing to tbem , have , by their actions , proved quite the contrary . I trust that in the course of their career they may prove better m- ^ n than their father , and that they may be blessed with sons like mine . I tbauk yon all , and hope , with the blessing of God , that we shall
meet again and again , as well and as happy as we are at the present time . ( The worthy chairman was greeted again and again with loud and hearty cheers . ) Mr . George Myers said it was pleasing to him to be the mouthpiece of those engaged ou the Chairman ' s staff , and to thank him for the splendid dinner he had given them . A sa" »
estion had been made that they should contribute something that should Bhow their respect for him to those who might come after them ; this was the gift of a picture , Mr . Pain ' s portrait . The work had been
carried out in a masterly manner , and as the artist was in the room he would only say , that undoubtedly he would not only become a rising mania his profession , but a rising man in the esteem of Mr . Pain ' s family . In considering this testimonial it was so arranged

th-ifc from the youngest to the oldest employed , they should have the power to » ive something , and with tho portrait he handed Mr . Pain a book in which the name of every person who had subscribed to the picture was written . Mr . Pain , replying , said , Mr . Vice-Chairman , ladies and gentlemu—I am extremely obliged to you for your kiudness iu
making me a present of tbe portrait of myself , the outcome of your irenerosity , so that those who come after us may look upon this picture as a proof of the kindly feeling which exists between one and another . I cannot find words toexp > o * s my feelings at tho present moment , bnt I hope you will accept the will for the deed , and in
simple language I say , I thauk you . The Chairman next gave the Press , for which Mr . Robins , Manager of the Tress Association , returned thanks . Some other toasts were given and songs sung , the whole of the proceedings being of unmixed pleasure from beginning to end .

The Treasurer is elected by ballot , and if during the year the brother chosen does not give satisfaction , the Lodge would hardly re-elect him . The present Treasurer of the Joppa had been
re-elocted annually for eight years in succession , and this must clearly show that the brethren had been satisfied . He ( Bro .

Spiegel ; he thought the snm of five guineas insufficient ; he would like to move
an amendment , that the amount be raised to ten guineas . Bro . Spiegel readily agreed to the larger sura , and withdrew his motion : the amendment was so far carried , but in order to comply with tbe byelaws , the proposal will finally come before the Lodge at the next meeting . Bro . L . Alexander P . M . proposed that the Joppa
Benevolent Fund , which is the premier and largest of its kind , be registered according : to the law as regards friendly societies . This was carried . The W . M . was then requested to sanction a ball being held under the auspices of the Lodyre , for the benefit of the Joppa
