Consecration Of The Prudence Lodge, No. 2114.
CONSECRATION OF THE PRUDENCE LODGE , No . 2114 .
^ TuIE consecration of thi 3 Lodge , which took place at tho Masonic JL Hall , Hope-street , Liverpool , in tho second week in the new year , created an unusual amount of interest in Masonic circles , and attracted a moro inflnential assembly of the leaders than any which has been witnessed for a long timo in this city . The novel feature
of the Prudence is that it will be conducted on Temperance prin . ciples— that is to say , no intoxicating liquors will be allowed to be consumed at refreshment by members of the Lodge . A similar regulation is a conspicuous feature of the Wolseley Lodge , No . 19 D 3 , Manchester , consecrated by the distinguished Genera ! af ' cer whom it
is named some two years ago , and the snecess which has attended its existeuce fully warrants the Liverpool brethren in following tho example set them by Manchester Freemasons . Tho Wolseley Lodire now numbers about 100 mombers ; and judging from the success which marked the inauguration of the Prudence , it is certain that its
existence will bo ono of continued prosperity . Several enthusiastic Freemasons are closely identified with its inauguration and interests , and the / irsfc meeting was in every respect of a most hopeful and proraising character . About 100 brethren were present to witness tho impressive ceremony , amongst theso being Bros . Lord Claud J

Right Worshipful Deputy Provincial Grand Master , Grand Officers , and Brethren , —Ou the dedication of tho Lodge of Prudence , No . 2114 , I havo been requested to address a few observations suitable to the interesting occasion . There i 3 always , no doubt , a feeling of solemnity attached to the meetings of the brethren , even when the
business that calls them together is of the most ordinary nature , for no degree exempts us from that serious obligation which is the glory of our Craft at all times , and under all circumstaucas , at the opening of a Lodge solemnly to invoke the presence and countenance of the Great Architect of the World . But to-day we are called together for
a purpose so august aud sacred that all levity and carelessness must be utterly impossible , while in pursuance of dedicating this Lodgo to His service who , as the Great Master Builder , has originated the principles upon which our Masonic Order professes to be founded . And first , as to principles , which are the foundations of any Order , our
principles are that our members should be mutually beneficial to each other , and instruments for the goo . 1 of Society , which , in the sta'iptnral phrase , is "to be of ono mind , having compassion one for another , and to love as brethren . " Wherever there ' m a brother like ourselves , the offspring of one common stock , partaker of tho game
nature and sharer of the same hope—so in numberless instances it has proved itself to be—it has gained for tho wauderiug traveller kindness in an inhospitable and savage clime ; it . has quelled tho violence of the pirate by sea ; it has , in the various and distinct nations which diversify the map of the world , discovered everywhere
an object for the display of that beneficence which each brother owes fc i his fellow . Looking back to the p . iges of ancient history , we trace , c- 'cn in the records of tho sacred volum . ' , too origin of our Order . The pedigree of our Society is bo'h ancu-nt iind honourable , for virtue is virtue , whither it . bo ancient or modern , whether it dazzle from
tho throne , or glimmer from the hut , and having stood the ! ap . ? e of ; ages , and the storm of opposition , proven itself en . cte i upon a good . and ' sound foundation . The principles of our Masonic Order aro derived 1 from Him who is tho Maker and Builder of the Temple of tho World . I The Great Master of all , iu whose presence alone we seek to he '
approved , and to whom , as on all occasions , so now much more especially , we dedicate this Lodge . But presuming that with due ] investigation as to character and worth , tho ranks of our i Order be enlarged and strengthened , r . nd with honorable fidelity our i principles be preserved and practised , '' that Masonry and Brotherly i
Love ought to go hand in hand . " Lot me . entreat you then , brethren , diligently to search the Volume of tlio Sacred Lav / for tho secrets of our Art ; and while von seek to pry into the covenant-, tho signs raid
tokens which subs sted and wero communicatvd oe . tweeu tho Kings of Judah and of Tyre , O may the spirit of tho widow ' s so ; i be iu you , tilling you with a knowledge of the nuiuta vn which thoy nil turned ,

even wisdom to design , strength to execute , and the beauties of holiness to adorn . Remember that tho same panes contain an inestimable pearl of great price , and that they only are wise and good who make that pearl their own . Gain this , and you thus lay hold on tho right pillar , both of solid fame aud spiritual wealth , whereby
you shall be established ; and then you may safely rest upon the left , a still higher column in onr scientific line , for in that you will find strength . Whether tho Lodge meets on the high mountains of worldly grandeur , and is beheld from afar ; on the lowest vale of obscurity , and noticed bat by few—whether you hew on the tops of
Lebanon , or work iu distinguished offices near tho sanctum sanctorum , or , with tho sous of Levi , serve at the Altar—be zealous in the discharge of all the duties demanded of you—nor faint , though it fall to your lot to labour iu thi plains of Jordao . May we be fouud workmen that need not bo ashamed , and in reliance on the integrity
of out Great Master Builder , and on tbe title we derive from Uim , may »? humbly but confidently hope that a blessing will descend from the Most High upon our labours , and our meetings , and that from associating together as brethren ia auity here , may we meet again as brethren in bliss hereafter . So mote it be .
Tho Provincial Grand Secretary , acting Provincial Grand Misbcr , then proceeded with the ceremony of Consecration , iu a most masterly and impressive manner , to the admiration of every brother present—the elocution was indeed a masterpiece—in tho usual form , with corn , oil , wine , and salt , the Provincial Grand Chaplain giving
the appropriate passages from Holy Writ . At the conclusion , Bro . John Duncan jun . was presented to the Consecrating Officer for installation by Brothers Murray and Ripley , and worthily installed as the first Worshipful Master . The following Officers were afterwards invested : —Bros . R . Foote S . W ., H . J . Nicholls J . W ., Dr . F . J .
