The Great City Lodge, No. 1426.
P . M . ' s , and ho considered it a groat honour to sec them all present at this his Installation evening . Ho should endeavour to tho utmost of Iiis ability to tread in their footsteps , and to emulate their excellent example . Ho felt sure ho could count upon the kind assistance of the brethren in carrying out the responsible duties of his position . It would bo his constant endeavour to
maintain the integrity of tho Lodge , in which , during the six years ho had been connected with it , no unpleasantness had ever occurred . It would boa source of gratification to him if in the coming year the members wero cemented in closer friendship and harmony " Tf thoy wore a united body in support of the principles of Masonry he believed there was a great and prosperous
future for The Great City Lodge . The Chanty Box having been passed round , it was announced that tho contents thereof amounted to £ 2 19 s 3 d . The W . M . next proposed tho toast of tho Initiate . He had very great pleasure in calling the attention of the brethren to this toast , which ho described as one always received with great cklat at Masonic gatherings . In fact , it was one really essential to the
existence of Freemasonry . Bro . Matthews briefly replied . The next toast , the W . M . said , was also ono well received in The Great City Lodge , and indeed inmost others—it was that of the Visitors , of whom they had that evening a very numerous assembly . The AV . M . assured them all that they were most heartily welcome , and ho hoped they would so far enjoy themselves as to desire to come again . Bro .
Jones , in reply , said although the present was his first visit to the Lodge , he took a kindly interest in its welfare , because ho owed a deep debt of gratitude to Bro . Townend , ono of . its Past Masters , who officiated as Deacon on tho occasion of his ( Bro . Jones's ) initiation in the Panmure Lodge . Ho congratulated the W . M . on his installation into the chair of The
Great City Lodge , and also tho members on their having snch a brother to preside over the destinies of their Lodge . Bro . Fisher followed . He desired to congratulate the members on the reputation their Lodge had attained . He had visited very many Lodges , but on no previous occasion had he seen snch an array of Visitors as was that evening present—a fact which , in his estimation , clearly showed
the great popularity of the Lodge . The next toast on the list was " The Immediate Past Master , the Installing Master , and the Past Masters . " The W . M . considered this a very important toast . The I . P . M . himself should be the subject of a long speech , as also should the Installing Master ; and when , added to theso , they coupled the rest of the Past Masters of the Lodge , the W . M . felt that words
would not sufficiently express his feelings . Every step taken by the I . P . M . had but enhanced the good feeling evinced towards him by the members , who fully appreciated the painstaking and active part he had taken in the affairs of the Lodge ever since its foundation . During the time he was an assistant Officer the Lodge attained in some respects the celebrity it now enjoyed , by the admirable way in
which lie performed his duties . He had upheld tho dignity of the Lodge during his term of office , and as some slight token of their appreciation of his services , the brethren desired his acceptance of a P . M . ' s jewel . In presenting it , the AV . M . expressed a hope that Bro . Blackio might live many years to wear it , nnd desired that he wonld accept it with the same hearty spirit with which it was presented . The
vv . M . referred to the services of the other Past Masters , and then called on the brethren to honour the toast . Bro . Blackio , in reply , tendered his thanks for the very kind way in which the toast had been proposed and received . The AV . M . had said that tho Past Masters of the Lodge had been instrumental in bringing tho Lodgo to the position it then ocenpiod ; in this particular he had got off
very lightly . Still , ho hoped that his term of office had added to the reputation of the Lodge . In discharging his duties he hud not been unmindful of the cause of charity , and it was with pleasure he referred to tho list he took up at the Festival of tho Girls' School , which amounted to no less a sum than £ 116 , it being ninth as regarded amount out of between two and three hundred . He need hardly
remind the brethren that The Great City Lodge had always had the claims of charity before it , nor express a hope that that virtne would never be forgotten so long as the Lodge lasted . He had specially to thank them for the token of their respect they had that night , at the hands of the AV . M ., placed on his breast ; it wonld ever be to him a happy reminder of tbe year ho had passed as AV . M . of the
Lodge . Bro . Stevens followed . On this night they were , so to speak , celebrating their first apprenticeship in the cause of Freemasonry . The older members had , as it were , now handed over the Lodge to the yonoger ones , and he trusted that in another seven years they might be ablo to hand it on in as flourishing a state as they now received it . To his mind , The Great City had been a
pattern Lodge , forgetting neither hospitality nor charity . He hoped that the reputation the Lodge had attained would stimulate those to whom its future management , would bo entrusted to an over increasing desire to improve it . Each of the other Past Masters said a few words in acknowledgment of the toast , and then the AV . M . proposed the Treasurer and the Secretary , to which Bros . Headon
and Blackie replied , while The Officers was acknowledged by Bro . S . AV . and others . A well merited compliment was paid to tho musical brethren ( Bros . H . Bertram , AV . Frost , T . AV . Hanson , C . Beckett , and Kcrnpton ) , after which the Tyler was summoned , and lie gavo the concluding toast , the brethren separating after a pleasant evening . Among the Visitors wero Bros . AV .
