Reference had been made to his work on behalf of the Masonic Charities . He had been honoured by representing the Burrell Lodge , and felt great pleasure in doing his utmost to
assist those who were unable tr help themselves . On tho motion of Bro . B . Bridges , the Lodge resolved to present Bro . Harrison with a Past Master ' s gold jewel on his retirement from office . Tne Lodge having been closed , the brethren sat down to a complimentary binqnet given in honoar of Brother Harrison , and served up in ' xcellent style by Bro . Gates . Bro . T . Paokham presided .

" Ifc was gratifying to see so many present who were nnable to attend the Lodge meeting—a testimony of well . deserved respect to their W . M . Alluding to Bro .

Harrison , in responding , thanked the brethren for cordially receiv .
ing tbe toast , and associating his name with the Charities . He bad for many years taken great interest in the institutions associated with the Craft , and he trusted to be able for many more years to work as heartily as he bad done in the past . Their appreciation of his services wonld stimulate him to greater exertions , and to endeavour to keep the Burrell Lodge in the front . Since the Lodge had
been opened , four years ago , the brethren , independently of the Lodge , bad subscribed £ 229 19 s to tbe Charities , and possessed tbirty . eig ht votes for the Boys' School , twenty-six for the Girls ' , seven for the Old Men ' s Institution , and six for tbat of the Old Women . Considering the short time the Lodge had been opened , it had done more than any other in the kingdom .
He himself had 33 votes for the various Charities , and he said this , not in any spirit of egotism , but to urge the brethren to work with increased zeal . He trusted next year to place before the Provincial Grand Lodge a scheme for tbe establishment of a Charity Organization for Sussex , similar to those in Lancashire and Yorkshire , whioh would enable them to send all the children of deceased Masons
( should they require it ) to a school in the neighbourhood , and thus avoid breaking up tbe family , as was tbe case when one was selected and sent to the Boys' or Girls' Schools . Of late years Sussex bad been singularly fortunate in not requiring the assistance of the Masonio Charities , bnt be knew of several deserving cases which would soon demand their careful and Masonio consideration . He shonld do hia
utmost to render what assistance was possible , and confidently relied upon the co-operation of tho brethren of the Burrell Lodge . Bro , Paokham gave the next toast , the W . M . elect , and congratulated the Lodge upon securing one of the family which gave its name to the Lodge as their W . M . for the ensning year . The remaining toasts were the Visitors , the I . P . M . and P . M . ' s , and the Tyler ' s toast . A most agreeable and harmonious evening was spent .
