The P . G . M ., addressing the assembled brethren , congratulated the Freemasons of Portsmouth on the success which had attended their efforts . It was not very long since thafc he had the pleasure of attending and seeing : the then Worshipfnl the Mayor ( Bro . Alderman W . D . King ) lay the foundation-stone of thafc building . A very short time had elapsed before the building had assumed the
proportions whioh they saw to-day , and the result of the exertions that had been put forth had been to produce a structure which he thought all would admit was adequate to the occasion . Therefore he thouirht ho had eveiy reason to congratulate the Freemasons of Portsmouth on the very successful efforts they had made for the propagation of the art by producing a building in whioh it was fitting that Freemasonry
should be carried on . Tbey had heard that in formpr days it was the custom of Freemasons to join together for the erection of great buildings ; that Freemasons skilled in the art laid the foundations of buildings and earned them into execution . They knew this by tr'dition , _ which they reverenced , and also by certain indications in the buildings , which a Freemason could never mistake . Encouraged
by the efforts of their brethren in former times , the Masons of this age , though th ey had to a great extent relinquished the operative aria of their predecessors , did nofc relinquish the interest which they felt in all great and important buildings . They were anxious to show the interest which tbey felt in them by contributing by every means in their power to their erection and support . They had had of late
a very gratifying and important occasion , when the head of their Order went down to a remote part of England and laid the foundationstone of a cathedral . Ifc was the first foundation-stone of a cathedral that had been laid for several hundred years , and he thought they , as Masons , had reason to congratulate themselves thafc the Prince of Wales , as Grand Master of the Freemasons , was selected to nerform
that great and important ceremony . Many Freemasons rallied round him on that occasion , and showed their * loyalty to the head of the Craffc by taking a part in thafc interesting ceremony , ancl he was sure it was the wish of all present , as it would be the wish of all Freemasons , thafc upon the foundation-stone laid that day would he reared a building worthy of him who laid the stone and worthy of
the I reemasona of England . He thought that that event showed that the Freemasons of the present day were glad to evince to the outer world that there was still some harmony , still some unison between them and the operative Masons . But though they were called upon to acknowledge their unity with Masons of former days , yet they had based upon thafc something which wrs still more
irnportant , still more essential to their existence as an Order . They had grafted upon that unity certain principles which they desired and did their best to inculcate in the heart of every new-made Mason . They desired to impress upon the neophyte and upon him who had made Progress in the Order that the lessons which Freemasons desired to enforce were of the most important and beneficial character , ancl
while they were glad to recognise the progress which brethren had inade in the Order hythe decorations which glittered on their breasts , they trusted there was something far more enduring and important than any external decoration—those principles which shonld be laid to heart , which they believed to be essential , and which every trne Mason desired , to the best of his ability , to carry out in the work of JJis
outer lite . Let them strive their best to do something in their day and generation to propagate those principles , and to do something Jor the benefit of that Order which he trusted they all loved so well . Ihere had been times when their Order had been assailed , as ifc wns in the present day . Let them remember that they shonld do somet hing to prove that the accusations of those who assailed them are
baseless and destitute of foundation . If tbey did this they shonld ave reason to congratulate themselves , and shonld earn the approation of their brother Freemasons . And they would earn what was thn ? ° ? ' P ortal ] t than any approbation thafc could be given them—0 vestimony of a good conscience . He once more congratulated them "pon the erection of that building , and he trusted that within those
,, 'spare and ancient Freemasonrv would bo carried on , and that ™ e Hall which was to be dedicated that day might be fraught with ^ vantage and blessing to the Freemasons of Portsmouth ancl its 'inity . The P . G . Chaplain having delivered an oration on dmmj , the ceremony of dedication was performed according ducieufc "tea . At the conclusion of fche ceremony tho P . G . M ., afc
