United Mariners' Lodge, No. 30.
been such that he could not refrain from asking the brethren to express their respect for him , and their high estimation of the services Mr . Sherwill had rendered them , hy contributing to the fund which so many of his friends had decided upon raising for the purpose of presenting to him this testimonial . The proposition was most cordially acquiesced in by all present . Somo other formal matters having
been considered . Lodge was closed in due form , and tho brethren repaired to Hie banquetling-hall , where an excellent repast was provided by Messrs . ( fitter and Clifford . Dessert having been placed on the tables , tho customary Loyal and Masonic toasts wero honoured , the Worshipful Master giving those of tho Rulers of the Craft in eloquent terms . Bro . Joseph Clark , in proposing the health of the
Worshipful Master , said the brethren had Been what Bro . Hiram Cosedgo had done in tho way of working the ceremonies at the first meeting after his installation , which was but a samplo of what they might expect to witness at his hands in tho future . Circumstances over which ho had no control had prevented him ( tho speaker ) from being present dnring the whole of the meeting , but from what he had
seen and heard , he folt convinced tho brethren must havo beon perfectly satisfied with tho manner in which he had acquitted himself , and would heartily join with him in wishing Bro . Cosedge health and prosperity dnring his year of office . The Worshipful Master , in acknowledging the hearty manner in which the mention of his name had been received , thanked the brethren for the kindness and
cordiality with which they had treated him while endeavouring to dischargo for tho first time the duties of his position . Before he was exalted to his present high office , ho scarcely thought the work was so burdensome and onerous as he now found it to be . ne nover imagined that the dnties , which he had hitherto regarded with so much veneration , and which ho had so inaptly performed—[
No]were so arduous ; but the knowledge he had acquired made him admire Freemasonry all the more . That ho had but a short time to prepare for the discharge of those tactions was no excuse , and he was only too gratefnl for the aid and support he had received at the hands of the brethren generally . But , though deeply sensible that he had fallen far short of the perfection of those who had preceded
him in the chair , it should be his constant study to attain that proficiency which had gained for this ancient Lodge its proud reputation . Ho acknowledged that , but for the kind prompting volunteered him , it would have been impossible for him to have succeeded . There was so much nobility , so much expansion , so much beyond the signification of the degree they had witnessed , that it
needed the whole grasp of intellect and memory to go through it satisfactorily . In this venerable Lodge , which had beon in existence more than a century , he had seen such excellence of working as he conld hardly hope to emulate , and the only means by which he had succeeded so well was because he had been so ably supported by the Past Masters . He was eminently indebted to them , and he
promised to exert his utmost in the futnre so to improve as to repay them for thoir abundant kindness . He then proposed the health of the Visitors , who were always welcomed as members of their one common brotherhood , with whom thoy were happy to exchange ideas , and to show them how anxious the brethren were to sustain the reputation which this good old Lodge had gained . The Honorary
Secretary asked permission , at this juncture , to interpose for the purpose of mentioning a subject which was usually brought forward at the January meeting , but it had been unavoidably postponed , in consequence of the absence of Bro . George Smith on that occasion , and also the amount of work which he ( the speaker ) had on hand . He referred to the efforts which should be made by the Lodge on
behalf of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution . He reminded the brethren that there were ninety-nine applicants for participation in the benefits of that noble Institution at the approaching election , and of these only twenty could possibly be elected . Amongst the ninety-nine was the widow of their late Tyler , Bro . Grant , to whom he hoped as many votes would be accorded as possible . In addition
to this , there was Bro . Ford , who had been recommended by Bro . Gibbs , and in whoso case Bro . Ablitt took a very . deep interest . So that , over and above the influence the Life Governors possessed , he wanted all the brethren to qualify for votes , and take their own views as to whether they would appropriate them to the benefit of the male or female candidate he had named . He should be glad if they
would give all their votes on the male side to Bro . Ford , and on the female side to the widow of their late Tyler . [ A list was then passed round , and Bro . Driscoll was pleased to announce that , in spite of the not very numerous attendance , the sum of £ 4 had been subscribed . ] Bro . Robert Schofield , in returning thanks on behalf of the Visitors , said he had met with a cordiality he shonld not readily forget . He
should convey the sentiments so well expressed by their Honorary Secretary to the proper quarter , where he knew they would be received with the generous gratitude they deserved . From what he had seen that night he predicted that Bro . Cosedge would turn out an excellent Master . His Officers were all well up in their dnties , and he was certain their Worshipful Master would be ably supported
dnring his tarm of office . The Worshipful Master then proposed the health of the Past Masters , who were united I furthering the best interests of the Lodge and upholding the younger brethren . He said again , in reply to the observation of the last speaker , if ever he turned out to be an excellent Master , it would be entirely duo to the valuable aid he received from his Past Masters . Bro . Joseph Clark
responded , in doing which he said the Past Masters always esteemed it a privilege and an honour to be able to impart to the younger brethren the information they needed . In doing so they merely performed the duty which was expected of them in every Lodge . The Worshipful Master next proposed the health of the Officers , speaking in felicitous terms of his able and efficient staff . Bro . J . W . Crossley
S . W ., in thanking tho Worshipful Master for his kindly expressions towards himself and brother Officers , said it would be their earnest desire and aim to do their best for the interests of a Lodge so ancient , which stood so high on the roll , and which enjoyed such great prestige . He believed he spoke the feelings of every Freemason when he said he looked upon the possessor of the chair in a Lodge as a being of a

superior sphere , and this feeling of awe and respect was an incentive to them all to aspire to that exalted position . He concluded by again assuring the Worshipfnl Master that he and his brothor Officers would do all they conld to discharge their dnties efficiently . Ono or two other complimentary toasts wero honoured , interspersed with songs and recitations , that , hy the Honorary Secretary , entitled "Tho Mate of tho Nancy Krig , " being intensely relished . Altogether , tho proceedings were of a very enjovnble description .
