Masonic Portraits. (No. 46.)
mendation . It is an evidence that men who are so minded , who have energy and resolution to back them up , are capable of doing successfully , not one , but many things . He whose days are fully occupied in tho laborious pursuits of
bnsiness , who has many and serious demands upon his leisure time for his Masonic duties , and yet is not unmindful of the claims of family and friends upon him , is ono who must know full well tho value of time . He must methodise his
duties , so that these do not clash with those , or this engagement be confounded with that . He must be a master of details or he would not be able to dovetail them so as to fit exactly ono with tho other . There is here no wasteof superfluous energy , for tho simple reason there is none to waste .
There is an appointed hour for everything—for business , for Masonic pursuits , and for pleasure . Ifc is for this reason that our respected Brother is always calm and collected . His movements are never flurried as are those of men whose duties are fulfilled at odd times . There is ,
if we may be permitted to say so , a solidity and determination about the man which commands success . May he , in the maturity of life , contiuue to enjoy the same degree of prosperity which has befallen him hitherto ! That he will ever command the respect and friendship of all who
know him ; that he will exercise the same genial influence in his domestic circle ; that he will continue , so long as he has health and strength , to render the same valuable assistance in the Lodge and Chapter , Conclave and Preceptory , in the future as in the past—that he will do all this , we
are fully justified in believing . We judge men by their antecedents ; and when we know that a man has earned for himself a worthy reputation , by a long course of zeal and energy , by a uniform display of ability in whatever he has undertaken , we anticipate that his future career will be
as productive of well-merited distinction as his past . We say to him , in the words of our grandest poet , " Know of me then ( for now I speak to some purpose , ) that I know you are a gentleman of good conceit ; I speak not this , that you should bear a good opinion of my knowledge ,
insomuch , I say , I know you are ; neither do I labour for a greater esteem than may in some little measure draw a belief from you , to do yourself good and not to grieve me ;" and we ask our worthy Master of Ceremonial to accept our assurance that we respect him too highly to fling afc him
this or any other empty compliment . Those who know him most intimately know and appreciate the grand simplicity and sterling worth of the man . They are aware that , while he is ambitious of distinction , while he will allow no opportunity of doing good service to pass
unprofitably away , he has au innate dislike for mere verbal compliments . We , too , know full well that the worst service one can do for his neighbour is to besmear him with empty praise . Whatever , therefore , may be the merit or demerit of our picture from an artistic point of view ,
whatever errors of omission or commission we may have been guilty of as regards the facts , there is one thing we have not even dreamt of , much less done ; we have said nothing of our respected brother which we do nofc feel , nor have we uttered a word by way of praise to which , in our judgment , he is not honestlv and honorably entitled .

Binckes tendered tho best thanks of the executive of tho Boys' School to Bro . Beach , and their high estimation of the services cheerfully rendered by him on the occasion of the recent Festival of thafc institution , the most successful ever
held in connection with any of the Masonic charities , the sum of £ 13 , 570 having been received . Bro . Binckes added that it had been decided to invest another £ 3 , 000 , and that tho committee were authorised to provide for 32 additional sons of Freemasons being admitted . ( Applause . ) In conclusion ho thanked the Doputy P . G . M . and the Province generally for their liberal support of the
Schools . Subsequently a banquet took place at the Guildhall , the P . G . M . presiding . About 100 brethren attended , and at the close a few toasts were given . " Tho Queen , " " Tho Prince of Wales , Grand Master of England , " " The Earl of Carnarvon , Pro Grand Master , " and " The Deputy Grand Master , Bro . Lord Skelmersdale , and Officers of Grand Lodge , " wero proposed from tho chair and
enthusiastically received by the company . With the latter Bro . Beach coupled the name of a brother who had served the office of Grand Warden in former years , bnt who had since been selected , for the great merit he had displayed , to preside over a most important province—of that brother who had done them the honour to be present at tho meeting that day—General Brownrigg . ( Much cheering . )
They greeted his presence with tho utmost enthusiasm . They had never had the pleasure of seeing him in tho province of Hampshire and tho Islo of Wight before , but he trusted that his visit would enhance tho good understanding which had previously existed and would bo cemented that day between the Freemasons of Surrey and those of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight . General
Brownrigg responded , remarking thafc ifc was more than 21 years since he had had the honour of being tho Senior Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of England , and Masonry had become so popular in the present day that a small man like himself could hardly expect to attain those very high ranks which existed in the Craft ; when they saw the Wardens' chair fdled by princes of the blood royal , ifc was
very flattering to tho Craft , but exceedingly difficult for others to attain to such high honours ( Hear , hear ) . The principles which had guided their Provincial Grand Master had always been so just and excellent thafc he had no doubt , in the distribution of the purple , ho always took care to give ifc to those who wero worthy of thafc honour ( Applause ) . Ho trusted thafc they would permit him to propose a
toast before he sat down—the toast of the evening—that of " Tho Right Worshipful the Provincial Grand Master of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight , Bro . W . W . B . Beach , M . P . " ( Great chooring . ) He had been extremely pleased that day with the visit ho had paid them , and he should very much regret if in tho futnre ho could not be able to attend the Provincial Grand Lodgo of Hampshire and tho Islo of
Wight , and he hoped when his convenience would permit to see the Provincial Grand Master of Hants afc the Surrey meetings . The Chairman acknowledged the toast . Ho was happy to say that during the time he had had tho pleasure of presiding over them , he had met with nothing but encouragement on all sides , and he was induced by that to think thafc the Craft had nofc suffered in anyVay during
that period . ( Applause . ) They had , in various parts of the province , seen of late new Lodges spring into existence , and they had also seen thafc Lodges which becamo dissatisfied with the buildings in which they had previously met had secured new buildings for themselves which did honour to tho Craffc and their enterprise . ( Hear , hear ) . Ho shonld be failing in his duty if he did not offer to the brethren of his Province his most cordial thanks for the way in which they came forward and supported him when called upon to preside over the proceedings in connection with
