STOCKWELL LODGE , No . 1339 . THE annual meeting of this Lodge was held on Tuesday , the 17 th instant , at tho Surrey Masonic Hall , Camberwell New Road , under the presidency of Bro . H . J . Pain , tho Worshipful Master of the past year . After the opening of the Lodge , the reception of the report of the Audit Committee , and the transaction of some other matters of detail , the Worshipful Master vacated the chair in favour

of Bro . H . E . Frances P . M . P . P . G . S . D . Surrey , who formally installed Bro . A . G . Boswell as Worshipful Master of the Lodge , performing the ceremony in the masterly way for which Bro . Frances is so celebrated . The newly-installed Master invested Bro . Pain as I . P . M . and appointed the following as his Officers : —Bros . G . Myers

S . W ., 11 . J . Cullen J . W ., II . E . Frances P . M . P . P . G . S . D . Secretary , R . R . Templeman P . M . Dir . of Cera ., H . Tyrer S . D ., J . Pollard J . D ., A . Bowers I . G ., and Parkinson Tyler . Bro . James Pain P . M ., re-elected Treasurer of the Lodge , was not invested , as , in consequence of engagements abroad , he was unablo to be present . A handsome Past

Master's jewel was presented to Bro . Pain . Bro . Boswell , in making the presentation , said all would agree Brother Pain well deserved this mark of their favour ; though he had been absent from some of their meetings , when he was present he had done his work admirably , and had proved himself a thoroughly good Mason .

Bro . Pain thanked the brethren ; during the remainder of his life and connection with the Lodge his services should always be at their diaposal . A grant of five guineas from the Lodge funds waa then made in favour of the Boys' School , to be added to the list of Brother Frances , who will act aa Steward at the next Festival .

Lodge was then closed . The brethren dined together in another room . On rising to give the usual toaata the Worshipful Master said he should be very brief in his remarks . The preliminary sentiments were appropriately proposed and cordially received . The I . P . M ., in proposing the health of his successor said that he

waa sure the Stockwell Lodge was fortunate in having such a Master as Brother Boswell ; it was satisfactory to the Lodge that the sons of the Past Masters were coming forward , and in their turn succeeding to the Master ' s chair . Brother Boswell had passed through every office in the Lodge , and had performed the duties of oach

position with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the members , who were delighted to congratulate him on having reached the highest honour tho Lodge could bestow on any of its members . He hoped that the initiates would be numerons during Brother Boawell's reign , and that the fuuds of the Lodge would increase in

proportion . He knew all would join in wishing Brother Boswell a happy and prosperous year . Brother Boswell returned Bro . Pain and the members of the Lodge his sincere thanks for the very kind manner in which his health had beeu proposed . He was initiated eight years ago ; had passed through every office , aud performed

every kind of Masonio duty in tho Lodge . It was a proud moment for him to find himself in the position of Master . In one respect tho brethren had made a bad selection , he knew he was no orator , and could not do justice to the toasts which it was part of his duty aa president to propose . Words entirely failed him to express

hia feeliuga on the present occasion ; he could therefore only in a homely way thank the brethren for the honour that had been done him in the way the toast had been proposed and received . He ahould like to have a successful year , and hoped the brethren would bring forward candidates of the right sort ; give him

plenty of work to do ; and otherwise heartily snpporfc him . The toast of tho Visitors waa responded to by Brothers Coltman , Westley , Stephens , Thomas , and Scott . The W . M . now proposed the health of the Immediate Past Master , a toast unfortunately omitted from the list . He referred to Bro . Pain's work in

the Lodge , and to tho great interest ho took in its affairs . Although he was sometimes compelled to absent himself from their meetings through his business calling him abroad , he was never forgetful of his Lodge , and generally managed to send them a cablegram timed so as to arrive during their meeting . Brother Pain having replied , ( ho

health of the Installing Master , Brother Frances , was given , and he having acknowledged the compliment paid hiw , the Immediate Past Master proposed the health of Bro . Moss P . M ., who , during the unavoidable absence of Bro . Pain had occupied the chair and performed his duties . On behalf of the brethren of the Lodge he asked Brother

Moss to accept a small token of their regard , which consisted of an illuminated testimonial ( very creditably execnted by Bro . Frances ) , and a photographic album , which it was intended should be furnished with the portraits of the members of the Lodge . Brother Moss accepted with sincere pleasure the token of respect with which they

had honoured him . It had evidently been kept a dead secret , for it had come upon him as a most complete surprise . It had given him a great deal of pleasnre during Brother Pain ' s unavoidable absence to perform the duties of W . M . Ho had always had the interests of tho

Stockwell Lodge at heart , and stated that he should never in any . desree swerve from his allegiance to it . Bros . Templeman and Moss responded for the Past Masters , after which the healths of the Treasurer and Secretary , and the S . W . and the ether Officers of the Lodge reeeived attention , the Tyler ' s toaBt clusing the proceedings .
