owing to effluxion of time . Although on previous occasions their W . M . hnd been , from dire necessity , oompelled to delegate the duties of his office to others , on that occasion he was himself again . With his wonted ability he had taken his place in their midst , and he ( the speaker ) felt assnred that all who heard him would endorse the hope that his health would be restored to him , and that as a P . M . he may
be spared to occupy a position among them for many a long year to come . The W . M . tharked the brethren for their kindness and sympathy . During his year of office , as had been remarked , most nntoward circumstances had arisen , in consequence of his health having been affected ; but he had been supported under his trials by knowing that he had efficient Officers , who possessed the knowledge and the
ability to conduct the business of tbe Lodge . He might ask himself what he had done to merit their approbation and recognition ? but could not elicit a satisfactory reply . Therefore , he felt the more grateful to them for the oonsiderate kindness and fraternal sympathy which had been so unreservedly manifested by all-the brethren . The Past Masters , likewise , had rendered him invaluable aid , and he
should cherish the associations of his year of office—so far at least as the Lodge was concerned—with infinite pleasure and thankfulness . The W . M . then proposed the health of the W . M . elect , in some exceedingly appropriate remarks , and Bro . Mansell acknowledged the compliment , assuring the brethren that he would emulate the actions of his predecessors . The W . M . next proposed the health of the
Visitors , and expressed the pleasure it had afforded him to witness the passing of a Brother by the brethren of the Albany Lodge . Bro . Vincent , in responding to the compliment , passed a warm enlogium on the members of the Sphinx Lodge for allowing the oeremony to take place . He had , on former occasions , been a guest there , and had experienced considerate kindness at the hands of the brethren of the
Lodge , for which , on behalf of himself and those who had taken part in the passing , he heartily thanked them . The W . M . then proposed tbe health of the Past Masters of the Lodge , to which I . P . M . Bryant responded . The Worshipfnl Master having alluded to the Treasurer and Secretary , Bros . J . Hernaman and J . C . Reynolds , proposed their health in complimentary terms . Bro . Hernaman , in a most
eloqnent speech , replied thereto . The Worshipfnl MaBter , in proposing the health of the Wardens and Officers of the Lodge , stated that no Master conld have better Officers than he had had during his term . He was proud of them , and so also was the Lodge . Bro . MiddlemaBS J . W . responded , in a speech of great foroe and appropriate allusion and expression . The W . M . said that they
were all indebted to Bro . Forbes , their Steward , who ministered to their creature comforts with nnceasing care and attention . It was self-evident that Bro . ForbeB did not consider himself ; he took all possible pains to make them comfortable . He seemed to anticipate the taste of each one among them , and so long as he had been their Steward he had been unremitting in discharging his onerous duties .
Bro . Forbes assured the W . M . and brethren that he would render true service , without lack of energy . So long as he was Steward his best services were at their command . He had not anticipated so many brethren being present that evening . Had he been aware that so many would have been in attendance , he would have provided a
different menu for them . At that season of the year , as a rule , but few brethren attended . They shonld have told him of their intention of being present ; fortunately , however , there had been enough and to spare . The Tyler ' s toast concluded the proceedings . Bros . Vincent , Gooding , Murcbe and Hernaman , by their excellent vocalisation and recitations , contributed to the enjoyment of the evening .
