KINGSTON LODGE , No . 1010 .
A VERY large number of brethren from the Sister and neighbouring Lodges attended at tbe Masonio Hall , Kingston Square , Hull , on Wednesday 2 nd inst ., to witness the installation of Bro . Woodhouse , LL . D ., B . A ., as Worshipfal Matter . Letters of apology for unavoidable abseuco wore read from Bro ? . the Right Hon . Lord Londesborough , HOP . Orde-Powlett , King M . P ., Grotrian , M . P ., Hopwood P . M ., Brodrick P . M ., llrekko W . M . Minerva , Dodson
W . M . Constitutional , and Tindell W . M . Do la Pole Lodge . The banquet followed after the closing of the Lodge , the Worshipfal Master ( Bro . Dr . Woodhonse ) presiding over the ceremonies , and baing supported therein by the majority of the distinguished Masons who had honoured his installation by their attendance . The nsual Loyal
and Masonio toasts were duly proposed from the ohair , and met with cordial acceptance from the assembled company . Bro . Siasona P . G . A . D . C . responded , and stated that Freemasonry , to his mind , played an important factor in the integrity of the vast Empire whioh our forefathers had won and the wisdom of our statesmen retained
for us . The Worshipfal Master proposed the toast of the Provincial Grand Rulers , and Bro . Peck P . G . Sec , in reply , stated they had 31 Lodges in the Province , whioh were most prosperous . The Earl of Zetland took a personal interest in all , and highly appreciated the invariable kindness and consideration shown to the Provinoial Grand Officers . Bro . Peck P . M . next submitted the W . Master of the
Kingston Ledge and his Officers . He said he though this must be the proudest moment of the new Worshipfal Master ' s life , and he sincerely and heartily congratulated him , for the brethren of the Kingston Lodge had done themselves oredit in electing him to that high office . In Hull there were five Masonio Lodges , and the King , ston Lodge was particularly distinguished by the ohoioe of its
members and the high social standard of the Offioers and Brethren . They were all exceedingly pleased to be present at tbe installation of Dr . Woodhonse , aud the energy and kind attention and forethought that distinguished him in everything he took in hand was a happy augury , and afforded every indication of a very successful year of office . To assist him he had got together a most admirable staff of
Officers . Ia Bro . Briggs , the Senior Warden , a more popular man did nob exist in the town . Proceeding , Bro . Peck alluded to the remainder of tbe Officers in salogistio terms , and concluded by wishing the Worshipful Master a most happy and successful year . The Worshipfal Master , on rising , was very cordially reoeived . He said that he had to thank Worshipful Bro . Peok for the very kind
manner in whioh he had proposed the toast , whioh it was now his pleasing duty to acknowledge , and he desired to express the deep gratitude he felt to them all for the enthusiastio reception which they had accorded to it , nob only on his own behalf , but also for his Officers , whom he was assured would give him that loyal support without whioh no Worshipful Master could hope for success . Those brethren
present who had already filled the position whioh it was his good fortune to occupy for the first time that night , would agree with him that to be elected to the ohair of the Kingston Lodge was an honour of whioh any Mason might be proad . That was the proudest moment of his life . Tho reason for the popularity of Freemasonry W » B nob far to seek . It possessed this grand feature , that the more they
knew of it the more they desired to know , and the better they felt for that knowledge when acquired . Those who presumed to speak disparagingly of the Craft , and unhappily it had detractors—should remember that it was the abuie they wero condemning , and not the many nieful and beneficent purposes whioh Freemasonry subserved . Properly pursued as on art and a study , Freemasonry lent dignity
to a man , elevated his mind , and being founded on tha purest principles of piety and virtue , possessod great and invaluable privileges . It impressed npon man the importance of that great lesson—the knowledge of himself . It was commonly known that Freemasonry gave particular prominence to the inoulcation and practice of that cardinal virtue—oharity . And it was his firm belief that in the
spread of true Masonio principles the chain of human friendship was ever widening , and would ere long engird the whole world in one common of amity and love . He cordially thanked all the brethren who had assembled there to do the honour they had to him by their presence . In conclusion , he expressed the hope that all the members of their Lodge , not only those below the chair , but the Past Masters
also , would , by their regular attendance and support , aid him in bis endeavour to make his year of office an active , successful , and har . monious one . Bro . Briggs S . W . supplemented the eloquent remarks of the Worshipful Master by assuring him of their cordial support during the year . Bro . Nicholson P . M . proposed the Immediate Past Master and the retiring Offioers . Ho said the Wor .
shipful Master last year discharged his duties with conspicuous ability , and the efficiency of his Officors was evidenced by the majority of them having bo * n chosen for tho present year . Bro . Baldwin , S . W . last year , responded on behalf of the Immediate Past Master , who was unavoidably absent . Tho Installing Officer and other toasts followed .

" The Mallet , " of the Glasgow Evening News , ma recent issue , therein discourses : — - Accompanying a deputation from the Prov . G . Lodge of Ayrshire I visited three Lodges—namely , St . James , Tatbolton , 135 , St . John , Oatrine , 497 , and Sb . David's , Mauohline , 133 . There are . many relics of Bnrns in the Lodge of Tarbolton , 135 , in whioh tbo poet filled the office of Depute-Master for nearly four years ( 1764-1788 ) , and as auoh
Oft , honor'd with supreme command , • Presided o ' er the Sons of Light . In a letter written to the Lodge , dated from Edinburgh ; 23 rd August 1787 , and whioh is preserved in a strong frame , he apologises for his absence from the quarterly meeting , and assures them , "if I mntb be absent in body , believe me I shall be presenb in spirit . " The letter , whioh has been repeatedly referred to in proof of Bnrns ' s humane disposition , oonoludes . ¦'¦' . ' '¦
Within your dear mansion ,- May wayward contention , ... ,,. - . . Or withered envy ne ' er enter . 5 •' May seoresy round : Be the mystical bound , . And brotherly love be the centre .
The minute book contains many specimens of his signature , and till lsb March 1786 , he signed " Robert Burness . " In at least one instance his mark is added . There isalaothe ohair whioh beocoupied when presiding , the mallet he wielded , & c , all intensely interesting as associated with the life of our Bard Burns . Although the Lodge St James , 135 has now a good membership , it has not always been in
a prosperous condition , bnb can boast that , though for years there were no members made , the brethren always paid the Grand Lodge fees . A brother from Canada who was present oh this occasion regarded it as a great honour to be allowed to turn over the leaves of the minute book . In the estimation of the brethren in Canada , he said , Tarbolton Lodge is of greater importance than the Grand
Lodge of the old country . The Lodge at Catrine calls for little remark . It was certificated to have good " work , " but as might be looked for in a Lodge left without due supervision it has dropped into some errors' against the Constitution . Strange to say , though the Provinoial Lodge , ' passed a set of new bye-laws for this Lodge last August , the office-bearers on Saturday last referred to the bye-laws of the Lodge passed in
1871 in justification of their faults . St . David's , in Mauchline , it has been stated , " has had a chequered career . " It was dormant for nearly forty years , bub has been-doing steady work since" 1877 , and the Lodge on Saturday showed all the elements of success . It was in St . David ' s that Barns got his degree . A snuff-box made from the wood of "Burns ' s kist ,- ' and presented to the Lodge , was handed round and reverentially examined by the members of the deputation .
It is seventeen years ago since George Frederiok Samuel Robinson , K . G ,, G . C . S . I ., C . I . E ., the first Marquis of Ripon , resigned the Grand Mastership of English Freemasons , when he became a convert to the Church of Rome , his Holiness Popo Pius IX . —Mastai Ferretti —having ordered all members of secret societies to be excommunicated ; yet , strango to say , there are thousands of Roman
Catholic Freemasons , and in France nearly all Freemasons aro Roman Catholics . On tbe resignation of the Marquis of Ripon , tho Prince of Wales gladly took the Grand Mastership , and was installed with great ceromony into the chair of King Solomon , at tho Royal Albort Hall , aod since that fcimo that innocent folly , Frcomasonry , has so flourished that there are ten times moro members of tho Order than there wero sovonteen years ago . —Modorli Society .
HoLi . owi .-srs Pitts . —Impurities of tho Blood . —To onsuro health it is absolutely necessary that the fluids and . solic ' a of tho human body should bo kopfc free from thoso impurities which are continually getting admission iuto tho system by erroneous living , unwholesome ntmosphere , or disordered stomach .
