Master ' s work that night , but when they came next time they wonld see how well he would perform tho duties devolving upon him . They had seen how well and hospitably the W . M . had laid out the table , and they as Masons , prided themaelvea upon having such an excellent fourth degree . Sometimes the first , second and third
oame very quietly , but the fourth degree waa a great success . If what they had witnessed thafc night was a speoiman of the Master ' s work , he thought they might look forward to a very happy year . Knowing what their W . M . was and what he would be , ho asked them to drink to hia very good health . The W . M ., in responding ,
begged to return hia sincere thanks for the kind manner in which they had received the toaat of his health . He felt it a great privilege to be installed into the chair of King Solomon in tho Cator Lodge , and he would endeavour as far as possible to imitate all that was good in the example of fche I . P . M ., who had had a very heavy
year and gone through hia work remarkably well . During the whole time ib had been their pleasure and privilege to servo under their I . P . M . they had found that he had acted from tho best motives and used the istsib possible efforts for the welfare and success of the Cator Lodge , lie waa sure that the Immediate Past Master's effort
had been fully appreciated by one and all , and during tho coming year he ( the W . M . ) would do his beat to imitate hia good example , and if at the end of tho year they were aa well safciafied with his poor efforts as those of their I . P . M . he should feel himself well recompensed . The W . M . then proposed tho Installing Masfcer—Brother
Jas . Hill , remarking upon the impressive manner in which he had performed his duties that day . His virtues were so well known that ifc was quite unnecessary for him ( the W . M . ) to say more upon the subject . He had also to carry out one of fche greatest pleasures of the day iu presenting Bro . Hill with an Immediate Pasfc Master's
jewel , whioh had been unanimously voted by fche Lodgo as some slight mark of the appreciation in which they hold his services dnring fcho pasfc year , and the admirable way in whioh he had discharged the duties of his office . Bro . Jas . Hill thanked them very much for the jewel and the way they had received the toasfc of his
health . It was true the work had been arduous during tho pasfc year , and fchey had had many difficulties fco overcome , bufc ho had endeavoured to meet them with all the love , harmony and charity he could possibly use . There would be difficulties in all new Lodges , and the W . M . had to consider whafc was besfc to be done . He was
glad to say thafc they had as good a set of men in their Lodge as any Master could possibly wish for . He waa sorry to hear of the resignation of Bro . Adams , who promised to be as enthusiastic a worker as almost any man in the Lodge . They had grown enormously in the course of the year , having now 39 members as
against 19 initiates and ten founders lasfc year . He hoped ifc would long continue to grow at the same pace , and in after years , when younger members took their place , let them hope thab the Cator Lodge would be noted for the good ifc had done in the cause of charity and love . The W . M . nexfc proposed the Visitors . If there
was one thing more than another upon which a Mason prided himself it was that he was always ready to give a hearty welcome to tho Visitors . Instead of looking upon them aa being the obliged party , they were always looked upon as conferring an obligation on the Lodge they visited . There were several Past Masters present ,
several visiting brethren , several personal frienda of his own , and several whom he hoped would become personal friends . As they would not all respond he conpled the toasb with tho names of Brothers Martin , J . Dickins W . M ., F . Cooper Willis , G . T . Eait and Scorer . Brother Dickens , in responding , warmly
comphmented tho W . M . upon the way in which the work had been done that nighfc . Bro . G . T . Eait said it afforded him peculiar pleasure to be present that night . As Secretary of the Beckenham Lodge he need scarcely say that every member of that Lodge took a warm interest in the progress of the Cator Lodge . He conld not bnt
remark fche wonderful strength , not only numerically , bufc in the working of the Lodge , which they possessed . It proved to him and to every other member in Beckenham that there was ample room for two Lodges , and he only hoped that the same good feeling which existed at present should exist to all time . He hoped that many
members of the Cator Lodge would favour the Beckenham Lodge with their company , and he could nob say how much pleasnre ifc would give him and all the other members to extend their brotherly Jovo nofc only to tbe Cator Lodge bnfc to all other Lodges throughout the world . Their W . M . had been a personal
friend of his own and it was to him that he ( Bro . Eait ) waa indebted for witnessing the ceremonial and being present that nighfc . He thanked them very cordially for the way in which they had received the toast of tho Visitors . Bro . Cooper Willis said when he entered tbafchospitable banquet he looked around and saw so many brethren
_ holding high rank that he flattered himself he should not bo called upon to make a speech . Bufc lie had laid a flattering unction to his soul , to which he was nofc entitled . He thought all had been said that could be said by the Visitors who had already replied . It afforded him great pleasure to be able to state that he had known their
W . M . for a considerable time , and he fully appreciated nofc only his ability bufc hia true manliness and kindly disposition . To those who knew their W . M . but slightly he would say , " tho more you know him the more yon will like him . " Ifc was always a great pleasnre to himself , and must be to every Mason , to have an opportunity of
attending on an occasion of that kind , becanse it was by such occasions as those that one saw what was meant by a true Mason . He appreciated the admirable manner in which the work had been done by the I . P . M ., and he was sure they would have equal pleasure next year when their worthy W . M . installed his successor . Brother
Scorer also responded . The next toast waa the Pasfc Masters , proposed from the chair , to which Bros . Eose , Hilton , Poysey , and Powell replied . The W . M . nexfc proposed the Treasurer and
Secretary of the Cator Lodge . Bro . Carpenter , in responding for himself , said ifc gave him great pleasnre to be present , occupying the position of Treasurer . He could only say that he would carefully take care of any funds which might be placed iu hia hands , aud he

hoped thafc at fcho oloao of fche ensuing year they would have even a better balance at the banker's than they had afc present . During fche pasfc year they had hnd to incur many expenses which would not bo incurred again . It would givo him much pleasure to do all he could for the welfare of the Lodge . As they knew ha was
connected with the other Lodge in Beckenham , and anything he could do in the future to bring the two Lodgea closer together he ahould be pleased to do it . Bro . G . P . Carlton said he felt it a great honour to occupy the position of Secretary , and the work during the past twelve months had been a source of pleasure to him . He
believed fche Cator Lodgo would be a great success . Afc the beginning of the year they started with a deficiency of £ 50 ; this year they started with a balance in hand of £ 33 , aud had paid for
their furniture and other sundry expenses . He hoped during the coming year there would bo a considerable influx of now blood , and thafc their present balance would be considerably increased . The other toasts were tho Officera of the Lodge and the Tyler's toasfc , which were duly honoured .
