ing could not fail to be very pleasing , assuring him , as it did , of the success of the Merchant Navy Lodgo of Instruction . After all , success was what each one sought for . The farmer tilled the ground , p lanted and tended the seed , and was repaid by the bountiful yield . The student spent his hours in study , burning the midnight oil , to be rewarded by success at an examination or in obtaining a coveted

degree . So with this Lodge , now that it had become as successful as any in the Metropolis . It was no small matter to secure a good attendance on a hot summer ' s evening , when the claims of a cool and shady walk in the park were very strong . He conld name several brethren who had made great strides in Masonic knowledge owing to their regular attendance at this Lodge . Bro . Turquand

next alluded to the handsome present the Lodge had made him at their last Anniversary Festival , which , gracing his home , he always regarded with great pleasure . Bro . P . M . Read , Secretary of the parent Lodge , next proposed , in eulogistic terms , the health of the W . M ., laying especial stress upon Bro . Rawe ' s promptness to support any labour of charity . As an instance of this , Bro . Read mentioned

the great support afforded to the Masonio Charities by the Lodge , and the success whioh had attended , three years in succession , the candidature of a brother from the mother Lodge . After a song , Bro . Rawe tendered his thanks to the brethren for receiving the toast so warmly . He could only feel that , in praising him so highly , Bro . Read had somewhat overdone it . Still , he was pleased to have

been found np to the mark , and would endeavour , whilst he was able , to continue to deserve their approbation . Bro . Dixon having sung a song , the toast of the Treasurer and Secretary was given—Bros . Ould and Breden—and was cordially received . In acknowledging the services rendered by Bro . Breden , the W . M . claimed that no member worked harder to promote the welfare of the Lodge than

Bro . Breden j the same could be said of all that he undertakes . Bro . Robinson having sung a song , Bro . Breden , in responding to the toast , said it afforded him very great pleasure to meet them that evening . It waa always a great anxiety to him to make certain that each and every brother had due attention paid him at the snpper table . He felt , however , that no one could that evening complain of any

lack of attention , or wonld go away dissatisfied . As their Secretary , he had done all in his power to make the Lodge a success , but he could not have done so bnt for the able assistance of Bro . Turquand . Years ago they bad to pay their Preceptor for his services , but since their present Preceptor had been with them they were able to devote their income instead to the Masonic Charities , no

leas a sum than £ 33 15 s having been voted out of their funds . The "Visitors were next honoured . Bro . Rawe expressed the pleasure it always afforded him , both in the mother Lodge and in the Lodge of Instruction , to extend a hearty welcome to visiting brethren . Bro . J . West 933 having responded , Bro . P . M . Read said the W . M . had deputed him to propose another toast—one which he felt sure they

would all heartily receive ; they felt greatly indebted to the Press for news , and to the FREEMASON ' CHRONICLE in particular for the intelligence which it diffused upon Masonic matters of interest ; they were honoured that evening with the attendance of a representative of this journal in Bro . Stephens , who was well known ; Bro . Read concluded his appreciative remarks by asking for a hearty recep - tion to the toast . Bro . Keable gave another recitation , and Bro .

Stephens having suitably responded to the toast , after more songs had been given , Lodge closed , and the brethren separated , having spent a highly enjoyable evening , and one which cannot fail te cement the brethren of this Lodge even more firmly together , and conduce to its continued prosperity . This Lodge meets every Wednesday evening at 7 . 30 , and brethren will receive a cordial welcome at the Silver Tavern , Burdett-road .

How few of the Order are thero who are cognizant of its history and its literature , so curious , so interesting , so extensive . In onr nomenclature a " bright Mason " ia any one who can give the verbiage of the Rites , bnt may be totally ignorant of the enlarged

information required to constitute the truly accomplished student of their foundation , history and epochs . It requires bright minds and varied attainments to make a real "bright Mason . " Mere " parrotizing " will never do for " brightness " in its proper and legitimate sense . — Winsloio Lewis .
