Pic-Nic Of The Truth Lodge, No. 1458.

PIC - NIC OF THE TRUTH LODGE , No . 1458 .

D URING the last twelve months there have been many very successful gatherings in connection with the Truth Lodge , but the ' most successful of all was tbe annnal pic-nio to Chester , which took place on Saturday , the 1 st instant . Members and friends to the number of SO assembled at the Central Station , Manchester , at an early hour , and npon arrival at the old historical oity partook of a

very ample breakfast , which had been provided at the Masonio Hall , Foregate Street , by Messrp . Bolland , the celebrated restaurateurs . The party was afterwards driven to the pier , where the steamship " Ormonde , " which bad been specially charter . d , was in readiness to convey tho party up the river Dee to Ironbridge , a distance of 8 or 9 miles .

It was n lovely morning , and the sun ' s rays , clear and bright , were mirrored in tho sparkling waters of the river , beautifying the ever changing and splendid scenery which was passed through . Upon disembarking at Ironbridge , tho party entered the grounds of Eaton , where carriages were again waiting to convey the party to the palatial residence of His Grace the Duke cf Westminster . As the

party drove quickly through the narrow and winding roadways , the flowers which garlanded each side emitted a pot-pourri fra-. ' -inoe ¦ which waa delightful and refreshing . At last Eaton Hall was ri * . lied , and upon payment of a small gratuity , which is dispensed iu :. cal charities , the party gained an immediate entrance . To desoribe the hall would be a task of too great magnitude , but we can nssure

intending visitors that they will be well compensated for any trouble and expense in this direction to which they ruiy bo willing to go . After an inspection of tbe hall , the party collected together for the purpose of being photographed , this duty being undertaken by Bro . W . Battersby W . M . 1633 . The nest part of the programme was a long drive to Hawarden

Castle , the residence of the Right Hon . William Ewart Gladstone , Premier . The snn had now gained in intensity and power , and tho party , somewhat dusty and deliquescent , wero not sorry when tho Glynn Arms Hotel was reached , where refreshments were partaken of . One would imagine that large parties were the exception rather than the rule in this quiet , sleepy village of Hawarden , for the

resources of the hotel seemed to be taxed to its utmost limits by the visit , and the word celerity not included in the dictionary of the attendants . But the visitors , who were happily blessed with a great amount of good temper , were at last rewarded for their patience , and ultimately left for a walk through tbo magnificent castle grounds , where they spent some considerable time in viewing the old ruinp

and obtaining a cursory outside view of tbe residence of England ' s distinguished statesman . The return journey was through Broughton and Saltney , and upon arrival at the Masonio Hall , Chester , the party sat down to an excellent dinner , which had also been provided by Messrs . Bolland . This was followed by Loyal and Masonic toasts , and a few songs . In

the latter , Mrs . W . H . Woreley , wife of the diligent Secretary of the pic-nio , distinguished herself in a remarkably artistio manner , boing listened to by tbe company very approvingly . Bro . Woreley S . D . in proposing the toast of the ladies , said that under circumstances like the present , such a toast was a timehonoured custom throughout tho world : the company of the ladios

Jeuds a charm to society , and but for their influence , the world would not move . The unqualified success of that day mast be attributed to the fair sex , whoso presence one and all must thoroughly appreciate . In concluding , he hoped to see upon their next pic-nio all who were present at this successful one to Chester . Bro . Burgess , in response , said that it was one of the most difficult

of tasks whioh they had given to him , but he would try to do his best . Tradition said that there was once a lady Freemason , and he as the mouthpiece of the sex considered that ladies ought to know all the secrets of the Craft , all subterfuges should be swept on ono aide , and ladies made co-equal with men . With regard to the business

of tbe Masonio Lodges , he considered that it was sometimes prolonged until too late an hour , and he would go in for incontinently shortening it . One matter in connection with Freemasonry the ladies did admire , and that was the provision made for the widows and orphaus . The speech , whioh was very humorous all through , was very well received .

_ Bro . Fred Hilton P . M . Prov . G . D . C . proposed the toast of the visitors , saying that at the ordinary meetings of the Lodge this toast was always well received , and here it would no doubt be accepted with equal pleasnre . He reverted to the pressnce of the ladies , hoped they would be impressed with the doings of that day , and that they would leave with a good opinion of the brethren . Bro . Russell and

Mr . Morgan responded . Bro . Alfred Hebden P . M . P . P . G . D . D . of Cirs . proposed the health of Bro . Jas . Archdale W . M ., who responded , thanking the company for their attendance , anoT also the pic-nio committee for tho efforts they had put forth to make the gathering a successful one . The meeting terminated at an early hour so as to give the

company an opportunity of visiting tho various objects of interost in the city . Several brethren availed themselves of the opportunity which was afforded them to visit the magnifiaent Lodge-room of the Masonic Hall , and expressed themselves as highly delighted with the same . Indeed , with onr experience , there is nothing Jiko it in that part of the kingdom , and a visit to the same would be well repaid .

Summer Heat And Obesity.

SUMMER HEAT AND OBESITY .

Summer , with its sultry heat , is not a source of unmixed pleasure to those who suffer from excessive corpulence . Health cannot be maintained under conditions of great obesity . In general tho mental energy of the highly corpulent becomes impaired , and their capacity for the conduct of business is consequently much diminished . Oar readers , will , therfore , be interested to know it is

an indisputable faot that exoecsive corpulenoy can , in all cases , be cured by tho system whioh has now for many years been successfully practised by Mr . F . C . Russell , of Woburn House , Store Street , Bedford Square , W . C . Mr . Russell possesses hundreds of testimonials from persons in all classes of soe ' ety , many of them holding distinguished positions in the learned professions and in Her

Majesty s services , which , taken collectively , prove to a demonstration that any one suffering from obesity , who systematically applies his remedy for a few weeks consecutively , oan be cured . The patients under his treatment are not asked to be " fasting men ; " and it is remarkable that in the case of many of Mr . Russell's subjects their appetite increases as their weight diminishes . A pamphlet contain *

ing most interesting and trustworthy information , together with the rtcipe , may be had by writing to Mr . Russell , enclosing < 4 d stamps for postage . With such a remedial agent at their command aa Mr . Russell ' s specifio , excessively oorpulent persons have only themselves to blame if their unwieldy persons are not speedily reduced to fittiog proportions .

EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS IN THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY . Our corpulent readers will bo glad to learn how to positively lose two stone in about a month with tho greatest possible benefit to health , strength , and muscle , by a comparatively new system . It is a singular paradox that the patient , returning quickly to a healthy state , with increased activity of brain , digestive , and other organs , naturally requires more food than hitherto , yet ,

notwithstanding this , he absolutely losos in weight one to two pounds daily , as the weighing maobine will prove . Thus there is no suggestion of starvation . It is an absolute success , and the author , who has devoted years of study to the subject , absolutely guarantees a noticeable reduction within twenty . four hoars of commencing the treatment . This is different with other diseases , for the patient , in

some cases may go for weeks without being able to test whether the physician has rightly treated him , and may have derived no real or apparent improvement in health . Here , we repeat , the author guarantees it in twenty-four hours , the scale to be the unerring judge . The treatment aims at the aotnal root of tbe disease , so that tbe superfluous fat does not retarn when discontinuing the treatment . It is perfectly harmless . We advise our readers to call

the attention of stout friends to this , because , sincerely , we think they ought to know . For their information wo may say that , on sending coat of postage ( fourpence ) , a reprint of Press notices from some hundreds of medical and other journals—British and foreignand other interesting particulars , including the " recipe , " can be had from a Mr . F . C . Russell , Woburu House , Store Street , Bedford Square , London , W . C . —Belfast Neios Lettir .

GOOD NEWS FOR STOUT PEOPLE P It does not follow that a person need to be the size of Sir John Falstaff to show that he is unhealthily fat . According to a person's height so should his weight correspond , and this standard has been prepared by Mr . F . C . Rnssell , of Woburn House , Bedford Square , London , W . C , so that any one can see at a glance whether or no ho is too stout . People in the past have been wont to regard fatne 33

as constitutional , and something to be laaghed at rather than to be prescribed for seriously j but this is evidently an error , as persons whose mode of life has caused a certain excess of flesh require treating for the cause of that excess , not by merely stopping farther increase , but by removing the cause itself . It is marvellous how

this " Pasteur " aud " Koch " of English discoverers can actually rednce as much BS 14 lbs . in seven days , with a Bimple herbal remedy . His book only costs 4 d stamps , and he is quite willing to afford all information to those sending as above ; it is really well worth reading . —Forget-Me-Not , 19 th November 1892 .

A POSITIVE CURE FOR CORPULENCE . Any remedy that can bo suggested as a cure or alleviation for stoutness will be heartily welcomed . We have recently received a well-written book , the author of which seems to know what he is talking abont . It is entitled , " Corpulency and the Cure , " and is a cheap issue ( only 4 d ) , published by Mr . F . Russell , of Woburn House , Bedford Square , London . Our space will not do justice to this book

send for it yourself . It appears that Mr . Russell has submittod all kinds of proofs to the English Press . The editor of the Tablet , the Catholic organ , writes : — " Sir . Rnssell does not give us the slightest loophole for a doubt as to the value of his ' cure ; for in the moat straightforward and matter-of-faot manner ho submitted some hundreds of original and nnsolicited testimonial letters for our perusal

and offered us plenty more , if required . To assist him to make this remedy known , we think we cannot do better that pnblish quotations from some of the letters submitted . The first one , a marchioness , writes from Madrid : — "My son , Count , has reduced his weight in twenty-two days 16 kilos . —i . e . 3-1 lbs . ' Another writes : — 'So far ( six weeks from commencement of following your system ) I have

lost fully two stone in weight . ' Tbo next ( a lady ) writes : — ' I am just half the size . ' A fourth , ' I find it is successful in my case , I have lost , 8 lbs . in weight since I commenced ( two weeks ) . ' Another writes : 'A reduction of 18 lbs . in a month is a great success . ' A lady from Bournemouth writes : 'I feel much better , bavo less difficulty in breathing , and can walk about . ' Again , a lady says : ' It reduced me

considerably , not only in the body , hot all over . Tho author is very positive . He says : ' Step on a weighing machine on Monday morning and again on Tuesday , aud I can guarantee that you have lost 2 lbs . in weight without the slightest harm , and vast improvement in health through ridding the system of unhealthy accumulations .
