So much with regard to his personal duties in the chair . One word more , and that was
to thank them for the splendid jewel which the Worshipful Master had placed npon his breast thafc evening . He asked the brethren to believe him when he said he should always esteem thafc as one of the proudest memorials he could have of fche regard and affection which the brethren had evinced towards him as the Master of the Abbey
Lodge . He should look upon it as a jewel which he conld always wear in any Lodge with pride and satisfaction , and he concluded by again thanking them for the very great honour they had conferred upon him . The Worshipfnl Master then proposed the Initiates , whom he congratulated upon their admission into fche Lodge , and whom ,
he hoped , would follow heartily and sincerely in the footsteps of their predecessors in tho Lodge . Bros . Hodson and Foster having replied , the toast of the Past Masters was given , Bro . Bowman Spink
acknowledging it . This was followed by the Charities , acknowledged by Bro . Binckes ; the Treasurer and Secretary , the Officers , and finally , the Tyler ' s toasfc , which latter brought a very pleasant and successful gathering to a conclusion .
