hardly tell them how pleased he was to have been admitted into tho Masonic ranks . Since that time last year he had travelled m \ tv thousands of miles , —right round the world , —and had often wisle ' he had been a Mason . No doubt in the various plai-es at which h ^ had called he would have been received with a far heartier welcome
had he been one of the Order . His brother assured him that the fraternal welcome amongst Masons was so wide in its capacity that its conception was unknown to those who had not joined tho Craft He thanked them again for the kind way in which they had received him , ancl trusted he might realise the expectation 1 ' of the Worshipfnl
Master , and become a useful member of the Order . The W . M ., in proposing the Visitors , observed that it was a toast that required no words of recommendation to render it acceptable in the St . Michael ' s Lodge . Visitors were always sure of a hearty welcome there , and although this was an off-night , they were just aa welcome ,
notwithstanding the fact that they had not been fed on the stalled ox , but rather regaled with the dish of herbs . The toast was received with applause , aud acknowledged by the Visitors , who spoke in eulogistic terms of the work they had seen in the Lodge room and of the harmony ancl fraternal feeling displayed at
the festive board . With the Past Masters the W . M . coupled the names of their esteemed Treasurer and Secretary , referring briefly to theable manner in which they had discharged the duties of their respective offices . Bro . A . Green P . M . Treasurer was exceedingly obliged for the kindly manner in which the toast had been proposed
and received . The W . M . was very kind in complimenting the Past Masters npon the assistance they had given him in Lodge that , evening , bnt he was much afraid before long the Past Masters would become rusty in their working . They had such able Officers coming on , following in the footsteps of the W . M ., that there was really
no need to bring the services of the Past Masters into requisition ; and , unless they saw bad times again , which he did not at all apprehend , the Past Masters would have to retire into the background , or attend Lodges of Instruction , so as to pick up again . Still it was their duty and privilege to attend the meetings
of the Lodge , apart from the pleasant associations which always surrounded them , and he hoped that wonld ever continue to be the case . For himself he could say he never spent more pleasant evenings than he did in thia Lodge , aud in saying so he only re-echoed the feelings of every one of his brother
Past Masters . Brother VV . Radcliffe PM . Secretary could certainly endorse all that had been said by their excellent friend the Treasurer . Bro . Green had so thoroughly gone into the subject that very little was left for him to say . With regard to himself , he had sometimes been called a " general utility man " nnd
long might thafc cognomen be attached to his name . He prided himself that he could take auy office when called upon . He might he getting a little " rusty , " because he was not often called upon to do the work of the various offices ; but in cases of emergency he had taken , the place of Tyler or Inner Guard . It mattered not to him
what he did so long as it conduced to the welfare of the St . Michael ' s Lodge , and so long as he had health and strength he hoped to do all he could to advance the true interests of the brethren . By special request of the W . M . Bro . A . Withers P . M . also responded , and in the conrse of his remarks said , after so long au absence , he was delighted
to come amongst them once again , and to receive so cordhl a welcome at their hands . He need hardly say his absence from the Lodge , as a member ancl Officer , was entirely due to circumstances over which he had no control ; but he hoped he should attend regularly in the future , and that they would be able to say , in everv
sense of the word , that they were really a band of brothers . He could not sit down without thanking them for the reception they had given to his brother ; it had been most gratifying to him . His brother was a Mason at heart long before he was made one ; and he was fully assured he would become an ornament to the
Lodge and to Masonry at large . The W . M . next proposed the Officers , with repeated thanks to the Past Masters who had taken the places of those who were absent on the occasion . Bro . Usher Back P . M . responded for the J . W ., and Bro . Hentsch P . M . for the I . G . The Tyler then in fitting manner closed tho proceedings .
During the evening some capital songs were rendered , notable amongst which were " When other lips " and " Home , Sweet Home , " sang in exquisite style by Bro . Orlando Harley ; "For Ever , " by
Bro . A . Withers P . M . ; the " Skipper of St . Ives , " by Bro . C . Lee ; and " Green grow the rushes , 0 , " by Bro . Kirkland . After spending a really happy and harmonious time , tho brethren separated until the next session , which commences in October .
