neophitcs —( cheers . ) And in conclusion he expressed his anxious desire to merit , to some extent , the eulogium of his kind friend , Dr . Crucefix—( cheers . ) After a short interval Bro . Udall entreated the Brethren to do honour to a toast he would venture to propose—it was that of the Right Worshipful the Senior Grand Warden , and the Senior Grand Deacon , who had honoured the Edmonton Lodge by a visit on the opening day . He had hoped that the Deputy Grand Masterthe Earl
, of Zetland , would also have graced their proceedings by his presence , but his lordship had been unexpectedly prevented . He was , however , not the less thankful to the Grand Officers who had paid the Edmonton Lodge the compliment of a visit , and he would propose their health with all Masonic sincerity —( cheers . ) The Hon . Bro . Moreton in returning thanks , said that with such assistance as the worthy Bro . Crucefix could render , it was scarcely
necessary for the other Grand Officers to apologise for any deficiency . For himself he had never visited any Lodge but that in which he was initiated until called to the high office he had now the honour of filling in the Grand Lodge ; and he had now to add that of a Lodge in which nothing appeared to be wanting for a proper advancement of Freemasonry . He considered that the Order was eminently calculated for the advancement of two great objects—good fellowship , and knowledge . In good fellowship they all excelled , because from Masonic meetings all classes and
opinions merged into one , and from them were banished all political dissensions , and whatever else might excite to jarring conflicts—( cheers . ) In knowledge , however , they were not equal ; but its pursuit amongst Masons was encouraged by all , and whoever evinced the most zeal and ability was likely to attain the most perfect knowledge , and to be honoured in its attainment—( cheers . ) He ventured to hope that the lesson he had that day received in Freemasonry would not be lost upon him ; whilst he was equally grateful on account of his participation in good
fellowship , as well as in Masonic information —( cheers . ) Bro . Douglas , G . S . D ., expressed his warm conviction in the sentiments uttered b y the S . G . W . " The Wardens and other Officers of the Lodge , " " The visiting Brethren "—( acknowledged by Dr . Crucefix , ) and several other toasts having been duly honoured , the company separated with mutual expressions of delight . We must not omit to mention that the excellent singing
of Brother Robinson contributed much to the general gratification . PRINCE OF WALES CHAPTER , ( 324 . )—As our reporter confesses he was rather inclined to take a nap , we approve his motive , and therefore do not report what appears to us to be more imaginative than real . At least we hope we are right . MOUNT SINAI CHAPTER , ( 49 ) April 29 . —Companions Crawcour , Renington , and Yatewell , were installed by Companion G . Aarons . DOMATIC CHATTER ., April 25 . —Companions Quivelar , Tansley , and Lee , were installed by Companion Fortune in a very creditable manner .
ENCAMPMENTS . OBSERVANCE , MOUNT CARMEL , and ST . JOHN OF JERUSALEM , no report . FAITH AND FIDELITY . —Steadily progressing ; several new members have been admitted , and higher degrees conferred on those who had not hitherto taken them . CROSS OF CHRIST . —This encampment is continuing its career with marked advantage , emulous only of holding its well earned rank and maintaining its deserved reputation .
