For this reason he had for several years acted as Preceptor of one or two Lodges of Instruction . What he hud done there had at all times been a labour of love , and when he had seen his pupils passing
through the chairs of their respective Lodges he had taken additional pride in his work . He hoped the youngest member of the Lodge might live to as good an age as he was then , and that he might become the Father of as worthy Lodges as that of which he was at present the oldest member .
Bro . Cooper proposed the health of the Worshipful Master . Brother Bassett had been a member of the Lodge for many years past , and had worked hard for the position he had at last secured . He must be proud of that position , and sensible of the honour the members had
done him in placing him in the chair . The Worshipful Master ten . ' dered his thanks . It had long been his ambition to become the W . M . of the Lodge , and now that he had achieved his desire be heartily thanked the members for the honour . He should endeavour to fulfil
the duties attached to the chair in such a way as to maintain the reputation of the Euphrates Lodge , and add to that of himself . He next proposed the health of the initiate , whom he had known for several years past . He had bad great pleasure in receiving him into the Lodge . Bro . MoKinnon tendered bis thanks , and then the W . M .
gave the toast of the Past Masters . Bro . Cutler replied , in a humorons speech , showing how the circle of one ' s life might be completed , even in a Lodge of the size of the Euphrates , and illustrating the universality of Freemasonry , which brought men of all classes together and bound them in the ties of friendship . He was pleased to see they in
a ^ ain had an initiate ; not that suoh an event was uncommon the Lodge , but it proved that Freemasonry was being extended through the efforts of the members . The toast of the Visitors was next on the list , and to this Bro . Salmon , of the Cosmopolitan Lodge , re » sponded . He considered it a great honour to be associated with the
toast , more especially as their Installing Master , Brother Stean , occupied the same position in the Lodge of which he ( Bro .
