Love The Greatest.
who may live here in the sunshine of your own happy lives ; comforted wifch the comfort ye , yourselves , have received . What a blessed economy thia of money , of material , of things beauteous and costly , made by willing hands ; economy of faith , prayer and hope ! What a glad
consecration here to-day and always of the gifts which you have received ! I say always , for I need not assure you that this home , built and so elegantly equipped for its good work , has only enlarged your horizon of usefulness . This is only a beginning of generous gifts that will continue to
he consecrated to this noble purpose ; this dedication is only a beginning of dedications that will be made to meet every demand and to supply every want—dedications by large-souled men and kind and generous women—men and women , too , whose very birth was
an initiation into all the sacred rites and ceremonies of an universal brotherhood . With love ruling and reigning in our hearts , and in all our good works , shall not our service to this home be that of kings and queensjo the manner born ? Shall nofc the ides of every November ,
as the past November , see the wise-hearted mothers , faithful wives and devoted daughters of this State weaving with their hands contributions to this ministering angel ' s work ? Shall we not again and again see the zealous brethren , by
a fair and with the fair , bringing hither more than enough to supply our home ? Let every brother give what his heart finds to give , and do what his hand may find to do , to minister to the comfort and peace of all who may enter
here . King David ' s noblest psalm of thanksgiving was snng because of the restoration of the Ark to its own place in the tabernacle , and the restoration of the homeless to happy , peaceful homes . And as with thousands and tens
of thonsands , with trumpets and cymbals and harps , he ascended the Hill of Zion , with heart and voice they sang , giving praises unto His name , for He is a Father of the fatherless , and a "judge of the widow , in His holy habitation . He setteth the solitary in families . He makefch men to be of one mind in an house .
Shall not this be our song of thanksgiving to-day ? As the ark of the Israelite was the sacred repository of the covenant—that which was of all things the most valuable —so herein we this day deposit for safe-keeping our
covenant with God and man—a covenant to which every brother is a party . His promise is that He will be a Father to the fatherless , a friend to the friendless ; our promise is that we will bear one another ' s burdens and so fulfil the
law . Here will He set the solitary in one family . In this home may He make ns all of one mind . As we thia day dedicate this home to its noble purpose , let us not forget that , for Masons , the word dedication means giving to the Supreme Architect of the Universe the noblest and best they can build .
As henceforth we kneel around our altars let us remember that tbe word altar means a place where gifts are givon , and shall not this gift , placed as it has been upon every one of the three hundred and ninety-three altars in this Grand Jurisdiction , be a re-consecration of our every altar ; shall it not give to our every symbol a new beauty ,
to our every word a new meaning , to our every deed a new life ? And as aronnd our altars , with hand joined in hand , and heart in heart we pray our Father , shall nofc these words inspire in us a new , a more consecrated devotion
because of our home ? And as then we kneel there let this be onr prayer for this our home , and for each one who here may " wrap the drapery of his conch about him and lie down to pleasant dreams : "
May all love , Hia love unseen bufc felt , o ' erahadow thee , The love of all thy sons encompass thee , The love of all thy daughters cherish thee , The love of all thy people comfort thee , Till God ' s love set thee afc Ilia side in His homo for ever . —Voice of Masonry

Tho Barnato Lodge of Freemasons , hailing from the " Antique Batitum , " ah Highbury , gave a charming ball on the 12 th iust ., at ihe Whitehall Rooms of the Hotel Metropole . Aa walking-stick to Dolly nnd Featherbrain , I attended in state , and have to report a success in all particulars essential . There was delightful music from Coote and Tinney ' s band ; the ladies looked extremely fetching in
their elegant toilettes , and the gentlemen bore their blushing Maeonic honours thick upon them . The supper was a dream , both in its novel and unconventional arrangement of tables , its decorations , and ita choice menu . The Lodge takes its title from the Baruatoe , who are kings of fche diamond-fields of South Africa , and some of the Barn to diamonds were very much in evidence on some
members of the family who were present . One lady especially was valued by a mercenary diamond merchant I know as worth about £ 10 , 000 as she stood . I had a great mind to offer to buy her on the spot for £ 6 , 000 , aud ask no questions , but I don't think her partner wonld havo accepted a bill ot mine at three months . The active and intelligent De Leeuw was vory much in evidence , seeing that people
didn ' t pay twice at the door , that all the ladies got partners , that everybody got supper , and that all the pretty girls had thoir portraits taken by magnesium light . He was ably assisted by Brother Hogard , who was a courteous M . C , Bro . Barnato , and several others . During tho evening , Sheriff Harris and Bro . Edward Terry looked in , to represent Graud Lodge , and th ^ y were responsible for somo of the speeches after supper , as well as an infinity of
gold and purple raiment and jewels , which all tbe ladies declared were too positively and awfully too too . Brother Richard Bolter , Brother Page , and Brother Richard Eve , were also prominent amongst fche guests , and Herbert of the Green and Mrs . Sprake were also in genial foi in . Dolly voted fche whole affair extremely select and jolly , and Featherbrain didn ' t want fco go home . —Islington . Qaxettq
