Tweedy reported a satisfactory balance in hand . The Masters of tbe Lodges in the Province reported very favourably of the progress of their respective Lodges . There was a general advance in the number of members and the greatest harmony and
good feeling prevailed . The Prov . G . M . Sec , Bro . W . J . Johns , reported that there were nine Lodges now in the Province and 279 members , an increase of about 40 members during the year . The Lodges held their meetings regularly and were proceeding very satisfactorily . Since tbe lasfc annual meeting a new Lodge had been consecrated , fche Lebanon , No . 325 , held afc Fowey , and that
appeared to be going on very successfully . The arrangement by which the Fort Lodge brethren were permitted to meet alternately afc Newquay and St . Colomb had worked well . Ifc had enabled them to strengthen their numbers and they were very much pleased with the change . It enabled them to attend to their Masonic dnties with far less inconvenience . Thafc grant of the R . W . the P . G . M . was not ,
however , to be taken as a precedent , as such a grant would nofc be readily repeated . The reports were received and adopted . The Prov . G . M . said , before appointing the new Oflicers , he should like to make a few remarks . He was extremely gratified at the progress which Mark Masonry , as shown by the returns , was making in Cornwall . As their P . G . M . ifc gave him great pleasure . On the 12 th of May he
consecrated a new Lodge at Fowey . On thafc occasion he had his doubts as to the probable success of that Lodge . He thought ifc a little too near the Lodge at St . Austell . He was , however , very glad to find that there was no occasion for such doubts . Both Lodges were making good progress , and were reported to have every prospect of continuing to do so during the nexfc year . Freemasonry was
evidently making great progress . Attempts had been recently made to throw some slurs on the Order , which he thought were no credit to the authors of them . An attack on the Order had been issued from Rome , which he could not help characterising as being the most scandalous one that had ever been published in the English newspapers . On that attack the Saturday Review had thought proper to be merry ,
but to the credit neither of its taste nor of its judgment . The writer in that paper was pleased to say that the society was too trivial or too criminal to expose its secrets . To the brethren who understood the matter such a statement was ridiculous . To the outer world it might with great propriety be said , was it likely that the sons of the Queen who had joined Freemasonry would have done so had the Order been either trivial or criminal ? Then looking afc the roll of tbe members
of the Order not only in that connty , but throughout the kingdom , were they men likely to be found associated with a society which was either trivial or criminal ? Ho could not conceive how any prominent paper could havo made such remarks . Freemasonry stood upon too firm a basis in England to be injured by such sneers , or to be injured by any edict from any foreign potentate . The secrets of Freemasonry no Freemason need be ashamed of . The extinction of
Mark Masonry.
tho Order in this country if possible would be a source of great regret . Its great and noble principle of charity was highly respected hy all who understood it and treated it with justice . He could nofc also help thinking that it was a curious thing for persons who lived in glass houses to be throwing stones . For stones to be thrown about secrets issuing from Freemasonry from a society whioh abounded
with secret societies , and whose secrets were looked upon very widely with suspicion , was a hardihood he had not looked for . Suoh secret societies , too , as were rumoured to exist should surely make it well to look at home . However , Freemasonry was on suoh a firm basis as mnst make Freemasons smile at any such extremely petty attacks , whatever views they might take as to their taste or discre .
tion . Their society would survive any such attacks as emanated from Rome , or comments in the columns of a newspaper . Sir Charles ' s forcible remarks on these attacks on Freemasonry were eloquently put , were warmly applauded by the brethren , and afc the close of the address received rounds of cheers . Bro . Wm . Tweedy was unanimously re-elected Treasurer of fche Province . Bro . Hughau
called fche attention of the brethren to fche Province being behind in rendering support to fche London Masonic Charities proportionate to what was received therefrom . If the Province looked forward to further benefits from those Charities greater aid must be rendered from the Province . He proposed that a vote of ten guineas should be given from tho Prov . Lodge funds to the Royal Masonio
Benevolent Institution for Widows . This proposition was seconded by Bro . Chirgwin , and carried . Bro . Hughan then called attention to the terra of office of fche R . W . Brother the Provincial Grand Mark Master being about to terminate , and proposed his re-election . This proposition was warmly applauded , seconded by Bro . Chirgwin , and carried . Bro . Sir Charles Brune Graves-Sawle thanked the brethren for the kindness which they had shown him . He said he could nofc
disguise from himself that he was getting an old man , and the time could not be far distant when he would find ifc necessary to withdraw from some of his public avocations , and give way to younger men . As long , however , as his age and health permitted him and ifc was their wish to recommend him to the office to whioh fchey had jusfc elected him , he would endeavour to show his appreciation of their kindness and consideration . The Right Worshipful brother the Provincial Grand Mark Master then invested the following brethren
as his Officers for the ensuing year : — Bro . T . Chirgwin 78 , J . P . ... ... Dep . Prov . Grand Master H . Tilly 94 ... ... ... Prov . G . Senior Warden A . Luke 275 ... ... Prov . G .

To denounce the Order as atheistical was to circulate a base fabrication . One of its very principles was the recognition of a great Creator and Ruler of tbe Universe .

The great success of tbe Benevolent Fund established in connection with the Mark Degree in Freemasonry has long been a snbject of comment among Masons generally .

are elected . The next election , for which there were three candidates , was fixed for fche 2 nd October , but the success of fche fund afc the lasfc Festival was such that all three children , one girl and two boys , can be accepted , and no one will be left out in the cold . Such a resnlfc should stimulate the Mark brethren to increase liberality towards this fund . — Evening Neivs .
