Meetings In The Metropolis.
him the most pleasing thing of the whole evening , it being indeed a gratification to submit the health of the Immediate Past Master , and a yet greater one to present him , on behalf of the Lodge , with a Past Master's jewel , which he did with the hope that their Bro . Cooper would be able to look upon it with every mark of respect for many years to come , and with the full knowledge that he had won it by sheer hard work and merit .
Bro . Cooper felt he had done nothing to deserve such hearty expressions of approval as had followed the observations of the Worshipful Master ; he thanked the Brethren most heartily and sincerely for their reception at all times . The toast of the Initiate—Bro . P . C . Gibbs—was next honoured , the Worshipful Master saying their new member had been introduced by one they were all very fond of , and seconded by one of their Officers—no light recommendation , it must be conceded .
The Initiate replied . He did not think they could fairly expect much from the poverty-stricken apprentice of that afternoon . He had long desired to join Freemasonry , and was pleased that he had had the opportunity of associating himself with it through the Fidelity Lodge , wherein ho hoped to remain for many years without , he trusted , ever disgracing it . In submitting the toast of the Visitors , Bro . Imray said he believed the Fidelity Lodge had always been somewhat to the front in regard to the
entertainment of guests , they more often than not outnumbering the members —on the present occasion they were about three to one . Hospitality appeared to come foremost in their Lodge , and although many of the members knew most of those who were present , he saw some new faces around him , and hoped all would so far enjoy themselves as to desire to become better known to the members of the Fidelity Lodge . Bro . Imray referred to several of the guests by name , and coupled with the toast Bro . J . M . McLeod , who
he hoped would also add a word on behalf of the Charities , a separate toast being impossible in view of the lateness of the hour ; Bro . Passmore Edwards , a name almost a household word throughout the country ; Bro . F . Sackett , a very old personal friend and a past Officer of Essex ; Bro .- 0 . Gray , one of his most sincere friends , and one who had always been ready to give him help and advice whenever he required it in Freemasonry ; and Bro . S . J . Heilbron .
Bro . McLeod expressed the pleasure he felt in seeing one of his fellow Founders of the Barnet Lodge in the chair of the Fidelity , and offered the heartiest of good wishes from all who were associated with Bro . Imray in the former . He also tendered his sincere thanks to Bro . Imray and the other members of the Fidelity Lodge for the great and increasing support it gave to the Institutions , and had personally to thank the Master of the past year for his efforts in the cause . He hoped , as the present Master had given his ¦ nrnmise to serve as n , Steward for the Bovs . the members wnnlrl he prmallv
enthusiastic in supporting him as they had been in supporting Bro . Cooper . ¦ Bro . Passmore Edwards said that before that night he had thought everything was good in Freemasonry , but henceforth he should consider otherwise , for not a moment before he was called upon to respond to the toast had he been told his name would be coupled with it . He was taken at a disadvantage , yet he felt the Fidelity Lodge had the true spirit of Brotherhood within it . He saw before him an American , and he was reminded of recent events . Truly America was a great power , but there was a greaterthe British Empire ; similarly there was a greater power than the British
Meetings In The Metropolis.
Empire , and that was Freemasonry . Bro . Edwards proceeded to refer to the peculiarities associated with the figure 3—the number of their Lodge—and concluded with the remark that while it was a great thing to be an Englishman , it was a greater to be a Mason , and a yet greater to be associated with its No . 3 Lodge . Bros . Sackett , Gray and Heilbron also acknowledged the toast .
The Master next proposed the toast of the Past Masters who , he said , were not the old fossils some would have them believe , but rather a kindly band of Brethren who strove to do all in their power to advance the welfare of every Brother in the Lodge . Theirs was a toast deserving of the greatest enthusiasm .
Brother Macdougle acknowledged the toast , expressing the pride and gratification of the Past Masters in hearing the kind words of the Worshipful Master when he spoke of the past records of the Lodge . They were pleased that the old Lodge maintained its position , notwithstanding the many new Lodges which were springing up around it .
The toast of the Treasurer and Secretary was next on the list , the Master referring to the long association of the Treasurer with the Lodge , extending as it did over » period of forty-five years . It was quite exceptional to have a Brother who had been so long a member , one who was always ready to look to the interests of the Lodge and its members . Whenever any assistance was needed in the work of the Lodge they could always rely on their Treasurer , who was always ready , never being tired of doing his share for the Lodge . Equal praise might be showered upon Bro . Secretary Lovett , who was ever ready to lend his aid for their advantage .
The Treasurer , in the course of his reply , said it was a pleasure to hold the office , the duties of which- he hoped he filled to the advantage of the Lodge . The very enjoyable meetings of the Lodge were to him red letter days in the year , and although he could hardly hope to be present at many more he hoped the same spirit of Brotherhood would always be among them in the future .
Bro . Lovett responded as Secretary , and then the Master submitted the toast of the Officers , which sentiment was responded to by the Senior Warden , Junior Deacon and Inner Guard , the proceedings closing with the Tyler ' s toast .
