Consecration Of The St. Andrew's Lodge, No. 1817, Shoeburyness.

CONSECRATION OF THE ST . ANDREW'S LODGE , No . 1817 , SHOEBURYNESS .

\ MOJVG tho first Masonic duties that have fallen to tho lot of the -iV . newly appointed Grand Master of Essex ( Lord Tenterden ) , is that of the consecration of the St . Andrew ' s Lodge , which event took place on Tuesday , at the Cambridge Hotel , Shoeburyness . The ceremonies of tho day commenced at two o ' clock , at which timo the R . W . Bro . Lord Tenterden opened the Lodge , having previously appointed Bros . Wood and Shepherd as tho Wardens pro tern , with

Bro . Pissey as I . G ., Wigram D . Prov . G . M . as Chaplain , Harris Secretary . The Prov . Grand Master first announced that he had received a telegram from Bro . Balling , the Prov . Grand Secretary , announcing that , in consequence of the heavy rains , the train had been delayed , which mado it impossible for him to attend the meeting . The ceremony was then proceeded with , and in due course the Prov .

Grand Master called upon the Chaplain to deliver tho oration . Bro . Wigram , in the course of his address said : —I shall bo brief in my remarks , but I trust they will be appropriate . You have , brethren , been already reminded that tho event of to-day is one of great importance and solemnity . In my opinion there are two facts which lend themselves to making it so . The first , which points out tho

progress that Freemasonry is making iu every part of the country , and especially in the Province of Essex , as evidenced from tho fact that fourteen years ago , at tho time of tho consecration of tho Priory Lodgo , at Southend , there wero but 1000 on the register of tho Grand Lodge of England , while at the present time the number , as taken by this we are now constituting , is 1817 , an increase of 817

Lodges throughout the country . Of this number , nine belong to our owndistrict . Both these point to the rapid growth of Freemasonry , which was never more popular than at the present time . This great increase teaches us a must important lesson—that wo should bo careful how we act as Freemasons . It behoves us to bo very careful in onr behaviour , for a Mason should act as ono in whom the

world may repose confidence . Wo are to-day gathered together to consecrate a Lodge where no Lodgo has ever been held before , and this fact alone will canse the inhabitants to watch attentively all whom they know arc Freemasons , and therefore I hope you will do yonr best to keep up the credit of the Craft in tho district . Eemember tho honour of Freemasonry in this part of Essex rests in your

hands , and I hope it will remain as pure and unsullied as you will receive it this day from the hands of tho Prov . Grand Master . Tho remaining portion of tho consecration cerfmony was then completed , and tho Lodge resumed to the second degr ' e , when Bro . Charles Eltham was presented as the W . M . elect , fur the benefit of installation . This ceremony was pet formed by Bro . A . Lucking , who , on

the readmissiou of the brethren , called tor the usual salutes . Tho W . M . then appointed the following as Officers for the year : —Bro . George J . Glasscock S . W ., James M . Farr J . W ., Hall ( after being duly proposed and unanimously elected by tho Lodge ) Treas ., J . M . Harris ( P . P . A . G . D . of C . ) Sec , F . Howell S . D ., Rev . II . J . Hatch J . D ., S . M . Walker I . G . Bro . Whittingham was unanimously elected as Tyler , and duly installed as snch . Bro .

Lucking then delivered the addresses from the west and south , and the Prov . Grand Master that from the east . Four propositions for initiation were handed in , as wero also the names of two brethren who wish to join the Lodge . Before closing tho Lodge , tho W . M . said—Brethren , I rise to thank our Prov . Grand Master for so kindly coming hero to-day , and I hope he will accept the position of honorary member of the Lodge . I also hope that tho brethren who have assisted
