Friars Lodge of Instruction , No . 1349 . —This zealous and well-appointed Lodge held its regular meeting at the Liverpool Arms , Barking-road , on the evening of Tuesday , the 26 th inst ., and , in spite of the terribly stormy weather which prevailed , there was a very good muster of fche brethren . As ifc had been arranged thafc the Fifteen Sections should be worked on the occasion , the time of

assembly was fixed for 6 p . m ., and puncfcnally at that hour the chair waa taken by Bro . W . H . Myers P . M . Nos . 820 and 1445 as W . M ., with Bros . Cundick P . M . No . 1421 as S . W ., Smith S . W . No . 860 as J . W ., W . Musto P . M . No . 1349 I . P . M . and Preceptor , and E . T . Worsley No . 860 Secretary , to support him . After the customary preliminaries of opening the Lodge and reading and confirming the

minutes of the lasfc meeting had been despatched , the Lodge settled down with , aa proved to be the case , well-founded anticipations of a highly interesting and instructive programme . The sections were admirably worked , nofc hurriedly and in a perfunctory manner , as is too often tho case , bnfc deliberately , seriously , and with a dne regard to the many beautiful illustrations with which our often-abused

lectures abound . The following , under the guidance of Bro . Mnsto , and with the assistance of the Officers we havo enumerated above , took part in the work of the evening , namely : —First Lecture : — Bros . S . Clarke , McDonald , Musto , Forss , McDonald , Pavitt , and Cundick . Second Lecture : —Bros . Seymour-Clarke , Johnson , Dnrell , Smith , and Worsley . Third Lecture : —Bros . Mnsto , Webb , ancl

Cnndick . Afc the conclusion of the work votes of thanks , in terms of well-merited eulogy , were cordially and unanimously passed to all who had contributed to so instructive an entertainment , and we , too , though it is somewhat out of the beaten path we habitually follow , feel constrained to add onr expressions of congratulation to all concerned on the success of the gathering . Not only did the brethren

work together mosfc harmoniously , but they took the utmost ; pains to make their work as attractive as possible , and wore careful to give all dne emphasis where any emphasis was due . We are the better pleased at being in a position to render this jnst testimony to a meritorious Lodge of Instruction , as complaints innumerable have reached ns of the discreditable ignorance which prevails in other

Lodges of a similar character . We have only to refer to a letter we published last week , and others which follow ifc in the present issue , in order to prove that these complaints are nofc the result of fancy . We trust the Friars Lodge of Instruction will continue their labours nnder the auspices of their present able Preceptor , and with the same zeal and energy which have distinguished ifc heretofore . It remains for us to add that , in addition to those already named , there

wero present Bros . Bntler , Spencer , Nash , Judd , Hodgson 1306 , Holdom 1306 , W . W . Morgan , and Webb . The Lodgo having been resumed to the first degree , Bros . Capfc . Spencer 1076 , and Holdom and Hodgson , both of No . 1306 , were elected members . Bro . Myers , too , in addition to the hearty vote of thanks accorded him as W . M . on the occasion , was elected an honorary member of fche Lodge , and warmly acknowledged the compliment . Lodge was closed with the usual formalities .
