Stiles tendered his thanks . On his part he felt it a great honour to havo been initiated into Freemasonry by a brother who had achieved so much distinction for himself in the OrcW . Ho had striven daring his term of offico to do his utmost for thr > Royal Savoy Lodgo , and should be very prond of his position as one of its Past Masters . Ho had again to thank tho brethren for having voted him the Past
Master ' s jewel of tho Lolge—an honour which he fully appreciated . As a founder of the Lodge , and for many years its Secretary , he felt a peculiar interest in it . He shonld never forget the time during which he had ocenpied its chair , or the kindness ho had met with from its members . The next toast he had the hononr to propose was certainly the most important that conld be submitted that night—it
was the health of Bro . Smith , the W . M . elect . The mention of Bro . Smith ' s name called forth loud applause , so muoh so that the W . M . felt that were he to say nothing further , the reception already accorded to Bro . Smith would amply prove his popularity with the brethren . Bro . Stiles felt that in Bro . Smith they had one who would not only uphold the reputation of the Royal Savoy Lodge , but
would add additional lustre to its name . The toast having been drunk , Bro . Smith tendered his thanks . He should make it his study to keep the Lodge up to its presenc standard , and hoped he shonld prove successful in doing so . He had to follow in the footsteps of a very able Master , and it was only with the assistance of the brethren and Officers that he could even hope for success . He trusted he
might receive both . Bro . Stiles next proposed the toast of tbe Past Masters , expressing the pleasure it afforded him to have the first W . M . of the Lodge present at their meeting . He could but wish that Bro . Willing could spare the time to be more often among them . Bro . Willing replied . He felt the Royal Savoy Lodge was a credit to the Craft , and considered it no small compliment that suoh a body
should have arisen from the foundation laid during the term of his Mastership . The toast of the Visitors was next given , and this was acknowledged by Bros . Chapman , Rev . E . J . Reeve , J . Irvine , and others . Bro . Reeve could but feel gratified at the reception he had met with that night . He had come to the Lodge as much a stranger as any one Mason conld be to another , but now he felt quite at home
among them , thanks to the true spirit of good fellowship and hospitality whioh seemed to aotnate every member of the Rnyal Savoy Lodge . He had looked forward to hearirg the ritual of the Order impressively rendered during his visit to London , and his expectations had been more than realised . The working of the W . M . and Officers had given him much pleasure . The Worshipfnl Master
now proposed the Initiate ' s health . It was a pleasnre to receive their new brother into their midst . He hoped he might become an ornament to the Lodge . Bro . Dicker replied . There were two things he had to thank tbe members for—first , their acceptance of him on the ballot , and second , the kindness they had evinced towards him that evening . If there was one thing that could
put a man at his ease on his entrance into a new sphere of life it was such cordiality of reception as he had met with that night . There was , of course , much in Freemasonry that was unknown to him , but he did know of one thing—the charity of the Order . He had heard of the various Institutions which tbe brethren of England maintained , ancl was pleased to be associated with those who could
boast of such benevolent undertakings . He hoped he might be instrumental in upholding the reputation which he knew the Royal Savoy Lodgo had already acquired . Bro . Stiles gave the toast of the Officers , taking the opportunity of thanking them on the occasion of his last presiding over them for the assistance and support they had given him in the past year . Each of the Officers having replied , the Tyler ' s toast wis given and the proceedings brought to a conclusion .
