then proposed the health of the I . P . M . Bro . Fletcher . Ho said Brethren , if the labour and anxiety of the chair be great upon an installation night , the pleasures and privileges undoubtedly counterpoise them . The greatest of his pleasures that night was certainly the proposition of this toast—the health of our I . P . M . Bro . Fletcher . This was not the place to give precedence to tho very
natural feelings of regard for a personal friend , and ho resisted tho temptation . His first duty , as representing the brotherhood of the Lodge , was to express the unqualified appreciation of tho earnest and kindly manner in which Bro . Fletcher had performed tho duties of the ancient and honourable position of Master . All knew how ably he had performed his duties , and how gracefully he had presided at
the social gatherings . On behalf of the brethren he presented a jewel , token and symbol of the high estimation in which Bro . Fletcher is held by every member . Gifts are the beads in memory ' s rosary , and in the hope thafc this gift may long hang on the chain of your memory , and over link you with the traditions of the Craft , and tho still moro sacred remembrance of the brethren of the St . James ' s Union Lodge ,
Brethren , I aak you to be upstanding , and drink this toast with all the warmth and cordiality which is always accorded to popular members of the St . James ' s Union Lodge . Miss Amy Romayne here sang " The Lost Chord , " with great feeling . The I . P . M ., in responding , said : Worshipful Master and brethren , for the first ; time in my life I feel utterly unable to reply as my heart dictates ; to you ,
Worshipful Sir , I tender my heartfelt thanks for the very high eulogium you have been pleased to pass upon my labours of the preceding twelvemonths , and to you , brethren , ( I would I could do it individually ) for the generous way in which you received it . Ifc is a source of great gratification to me to mark the progress we havo made during the past year , not only in numbers and finances , but in
that happy concord without which no Lodgo can be permanently successful . Brethren , as we are now once more fairly launched , I feel perfectly certain that we shall continue our even passage for many years to come 3 and I trust I may live with you to verify the very pleasant prophecy of our Worshipful Master . Worshipful Master and brethren , I again thank you . The W . M . next
proposed the health of the Initiates : the duty he had to perform was one which all Masters take great pleasure in doing ; that was , welcoming the Initiates . He was pleased to say fchey had two that nighfc ( and one joining member ) , and ifc gave him additional pleasure to say they were personal friends . In calling upon the brethren to welcome the Initiate with tho social glass , he knew
them to be good fellows ; may they prove equally good Masons , and he felt sure they would always look back with pleasure upon their introduction into Freemasonry . After a song , Bros . George and Nathaniel Herasted suitably and in well-chosen terras replied , as did also Bro . Smead , the joining member . In giving the toast of the Visitors , the W . M . said the brethren of fche St . James ' s
Union were always pleased to see them afc tho working of their Lodge , and to meet them afc the social board . They had thafc evening with them a very distinguished and numerous company of Visitors ; he would call upon Bros . Buss , Everett , and Lee to respond . Miss Amy Romayne then sang the " Gates of fche West . " Bro . Buss said ifc gave him much pleasure onca more to visit the St . James's
Union Lodge , and to endorse the remarks of Col . Gierke as to the work of the members ; he specially wished to express his satisfaction , and thanks to Bro . Wade for fche very excellent way in which he conducted the installation , and on behalf of tho Visitors generally for the sumptuous hospitality wifch which fchey had been received . Bro . Everett had great pleasure in bearing testimony to
the pleasurable evening they had all experienced ; nothing could exceed fche perfect way in which the ceremonies had been performed . He had tho greater interest in witnessing the progress and general excellence of the St . James ' s Union Lodge , as it was exactly twenty-four years ago since he was raised there , by the kindness of the then W . M . He thanked Bro . Fletcher for giving him the
opportunity of again coming amongst them . Bro . Sir E . Lee thanked the W . M . and brethren for the Masonic treat accorded the Visitors ; he assured them ifc would afford fchem happy reminiscences . The W . M ., in giving the next toast—the Past Masters—linked with ifc tho Treasurer and Secretary , The Lodge was much indebted to the P . M . 's for the great care , time and attention they devoted to its interests .
He was sorry Bro . Wade had been obliged to leave , as he desired to express to him his sincere thanks for many kindnesses , especially for his having installed him . The Treasurer , Bro . Miles , all knew , and all esteemed . Tho members would bo glad to know their Treasurer had stated he had now more money in band than on any previous occasion . They felt he was the man to guard it jealously . He now
asked fchem to be upstanding , and drink to the health and prosperity of the Past Masters . After a humorous song from one of the Visitors , Bro . Farwig responded ; assuring the brethren of the continued interest of the body he represented . Bro . Miles also replied , for himsolf and Secretary . Several of the Officers responded for fche compliment | paid them by the W . M ., and then tho Tyler brought this pleasant meeting to a close .
