MALTA .
TESTIMONIAL TO R . W . BRO . W . KINGSTON , DISTRICT GRAND MASTER OP MALTA .
AT a large and brilliant meeting of the District Grand Lodge of Malta , whioh was held on Saturday , 21 st April , an extremely interesting and important ceremony was performed . This was the presentation of an address , aud a testimonial to Bro . W . Kingston , District Grand Master of Malta .
The testimonial is a very handsome and valuable one , consisting of a variety of articles in silver , manufactured by Mapp in Brothers . Tho several articles evince great artistic skill and excellence of workmanship , a skill and excellence which accord well with the Masonio skill and excellence of the distinguished recipient . Tbe Address was read and presented by the Dep . Dist . G . Master , assisted by the W . M . ' s of the five Lodges , E . G ., in Malta .
" To Right Worship ful Brother WIT . LIA . - : KINGSTON , District Grand Master of Malta , & o . & c . & o . "Eight Worshipfnl Sir and Brother , —The various Masonio bodies working nnder your rule , as well as many individual members of the Masonio confraternity connected with Malta , are desirous of marking in some manner ( however inadequate ) , the hig h sense they entertain
of the invaluable assistance you have rendered to Freemasonry in this district , as well as to the Craft at large , during your term of office as District Grand Master . It would be difficult to set out , or even to allnde to , within the narrow limits of an Address , the various important Masonio events whioh will , in the future , render memorable your prolonged and
successful administration . They cannot , however , refrain from pi cing on record the fact that the existence of a local Benevolent Fund is attributable entirely to your zeal and initiative ; that it was nnder your sway the limits of the district were extended to the continent of North Africa ; that the nnmber of Lodges in the island itself was successfully increased , and that the Craft has attained a degree of
strength , importance , and prosperity , wholly unprecedented in the history of Freemasonry in Malta . With a view of commemorating these distinguished services , they venture to present you with this Address , together with a Salver and other articles of plate , which they hope will be a lasting memorial of the esteem and affection of your Masonio Brethren .
At the same time they trust that the G . A . O . T . U . will be pleased to long preserve yon to rule over this district , with which the memory of your great Masonic work will be for ever associated . Thia address , after being numerously signed , will be illuminated and framed . It was listened to with evident signs of approbation and followed by long and hearty applause . The E . W . District
Grand Master responded in a speech replete with good counsel , kind feeling and pathos . He thanked the membera of the District , most sincerely and gratefully , for the very complimentary sentiments and good wishes so eloquently expressed in the Address , and also for their very handsome and valuable present . He could assure them that , during his prolonged tenure of office , as D . G . M ., it had
always been his stud y and earnest wish to rule the district with impartiality , justice , and equity , and it had been his constant endeavour to advance , to the utmost of his power , the best interests of the Order , to carry out its important principles , and promote its benevolent purposes . In these efforts , it was hig hly gratifying to say he had succeeded in securing the goodwill , hearty co-operation and
assistance of the members of his district . As a natural sequence , his rule , he ventured to say , had been a pleasant , harmonious , and successful , one . In these respects he hoped the future would be equal to the past . He again thanked them with a sincere heart for their kindness , and he could assure them that he and his family would preserve and treasure np , most carefully , the beautiful , artistic and useful
objects forming the presentation , and they wonld ever look on , and exhibit them with pleasure and pride . He would estimate and appreciate them , not merely according to their intrinsic valne , but as the expression , or outcome , of the generous sentiments and approval of those over whom he had tbe pleasure , privilege , and honour to rule ; and as cogent , tangible , and lasting mementoes of their kindness ,
affection , and esteem . A vote of thanks was then proposed , and passed unanimously to the D . D . G . M ., Bro . W . Watson , for the manner in which he had made the presentation . District Grand Lodge was then closed in due form , and the brethren repaired to the refreshment hall , where a sumptuous banquet awaited them ; some excellent speeches , songs , and recitations brought to a close a very pleasant and memorable evening .
