Samson Lodge, No. 1668.
i manifest and such sentiments expressed as conld only be found in one of England ' s truest danphters . The toast having been honoured , was followed by that of the Grand Master , H . R . H . the Prince of Wales . The Grand Master was one of whom all Englishmen might well he proud . If there was one thing more than another they liked to see
in a man it was true British pluck , and that the Prince of Wales exhibited to the fullest extent . As ruler of the Craft he was beloved by every Mason , and as heir to the throne respected throughout the Empire . The toast of the Grand Officers of England followed from the chair , and then Brother Quincey proposed the health of the
Worshipful Master . In brief terms Brother Quincey congratulated Bro . Casperd on his accession to the chair , and the Lodge on having elected so worthy a Mason to preside over its destinies for the coming year . He hoped the Lodge would be prosperous during the future , and that Brother Casperd might enjoy a pleasant term of
office . The W . M . tendered his sincerest thanks . It was a very proud moment to him to stand in the position of Worshipful Master . He well remembered his admission to the Craft , how he had considered the ceremony of his initiation a most impressive one , how he had looked upon his raising as far grander , bnt , the ceremony whiob
he had gone through that night was even grander still . Ho took a great interest in Freemasonry , and now that he had been appointed to the high office of Worshipful Master should endpavour to do all that lay in his power to advance the interests of the Order , and more especially of the Samson Lodge . His aim would be to maintain
the high standard which had been acquired by the Lodge , and to endeavour to advance ifc . He appealed to the Officers for their support and assistance , feeling assured that with their help the Lodge might become even a greater success in the future than it had been in the past . In conclusion , he again
thanked the brethren , and hoped he should not prove un . worthy of the grand and honourable position which had been conferred on him . The Worshipful Master next pro . posed the toast of the Initiate , or rather of the brother who had that day been raised . This was the first opportunity that had arisen
of proposing his health in the Lodge , and it was with delight the Master submitted the toast . Bro . Casperd remembered the remark of the Master on the night of his initiation ; when proposing this teas * he snid he never wanted to initiate a man into Masonry whose Ipgs he should be ashamed to see under his own table . That was perhaps
a strange way of expressing the matter , but it was a principle wbicb i if generally followed , would maintain the high standard of the Order . The brother whose health he had the pleasure of proposing was one of whose company they could never be ashamed . On the contrary , he was an acquisition to the Lodge and a member of whom
they might well be proud . Bro . Godard retnrned his warmest thanks . He was very proud in having been admitted among them , and hoped to please every one bv the way in which he acted as a Freemason . The toast of tho Visitors followed . Tho Worshipful Master , in proposing it , specially referring to the attendance of the
Masters of the other Jewish Lodges of London— Rros . Martin W . M . of the Joppa , Norden W . M . of the Israel , and VtiHentin W . M . of the Montefiore . They regretted the nbsenro of Bro . Boas , the W . M . of the Tranquillity , hut he had written expressing his innbilitv to attend . The Samson Lodge was strong in itself , but owed much in
the support and encouragement of its sister Hebrew Lodges—the representatives of which were always welcome . Tho rth » r Visitors they were eqnally gratified to see , and he hoped they had all enjoyed themselves . Bro . Vallentin was the first to respond . One of the greatest privileges which conld fall to a Mason was to respond
to the toast proposed in honour of the Visitors . They sometimes heard the festive board—as the fourth degree of Freemasonry—spoken of with contempt and in ridienlo . He thought this fourth degree a really important adjunct of Freemasonry . It was at the festive board that the teachings of Freemasonry were
practised and its principles advanced . It was there that the claims of the Charities were urged , and the large amounts collected with which they were enabled to carry on the work of which they wero all so prond . Bro . Clark followed . He was second to none in his sense of pleasure and satisfaction at being present . It wns always grati .
fying to see a brother installed into the chair of a Lodge , but more especially so when the brother so honoured had shown by past work his ability to perform the work likely to be required of him—such was the case with the new Master of the Salmon Lodge . He was sure he was but echoing the wish of eve-y visitor when he hoped
that Bro . Casperd might have a happy and prosperous term of office . Bro . Martin was very proud , as a Christian , to respond on behalf of the Joppa Lodge , one of the best known Hebrew Lodges in Freemasonry . It had taken him jnst over twenty year 3 to reach the chair of that Lodge , but he was amply repaid for waiting' in the
honour which was attached to the post . Bros . Norden , Marsh , Williamson , Dorme , Fisk , and others responded . The Master proposed the toast of the Past Masters , and in connection with it had much
pleasnre in performing a duty which fell to his lot—that of presenting to Bro . Quincey the Past Master's jewel , voted by the Lodge , in recognition of his services during the past year . The jewel bore the following inscription : —
Presented by The members of the SAMSON LODGE , NO . 1668 , To BRO . ISAAC QUINCEY P . M ., As a mark of their respect and esteem , and in recognition of his valuable services as W . M . May 12 th 1885 .
Bros . Loewenstark and Quincey having responded , the Worshipful Waster submitted the toast of the Installing Master , Bro . Lover . The W . M . had felt especial pleasnre in being installed into the chair by Bro . Lover , as he had been initiated by that brother years since
in another Lodge . It must also have been a source of gratification to the members to listen to the ceiemony—so well carried out as it had been that night . Bio . Lover briefly acknowledged the compliment . It had afforded him great pleasure to instal one of bis former initiates . The toast of the Officers followed , and was ably responded

to by Bro . Lancaster S . W . He sincerely hoped he should havo the gratification of finding he had set an example worthy of being copied by his brethren . His desire would be to carry cut his dutirs in such a way as to satisfy every member , and he hoped that at the end of his year of office as S . W . he might have gained snch esteem as
should place him at the head of the Lodge for the following term . The Tyler was next summoned and the proceedings brought to a conclusion . Among the Visitors were Bros .
