Provincial Grand Master , proposed the health of the Deputy Grand Master , whose zeal for Masonry , ancl whose eloquence and high moral and intellectual character , he spoke of in earnest and eulogistic terms . The toast was then drunk with much acclamation . R . G . Alston , Esq . returned thanks in his usual eloquent and forcible style . He drew a sketch of the decadence of the Craft in Essex , clown and its revival he
to the period in which it had been recently revived , attributed to the inherent purity of the principles of Masonry : and then happily illustrated the rise and progress of the Masonic charities—the Girls' School , the Boys' School , and the Asylum—by likening them to the Doric , the Ionic , and the Corinthian columns . ( Cheers ) But great as was the progress of Masonry and charity generally , he would not
be satisfied with its advancement in Essex , until every eligible person in the county had become a member . ( Loud Cheers . ) And after enlarging on these themes , concluded by assuring his brother Masons that his efforts would be unchanging in behalf of the Craft , to which every year caused him to be still more affectionately allied . ( Cheers . ) Brother Smart responded to the toast of " The rest of the Provincial Grand Officers , " by assuring the meeting that Chigwell would do its best to sustain the promised honour .
The Deputy Grand Master then observed , that the health of an excellent Brother , then present , had only been given as an adjunct to the toast of the Grand Officers of England ; and being permitted by the chair , he would now propose the health of that truly good and zealous Mason , Bro . Dr . Crucefix , in his twofold capacity of Editor of the Freemasons' Quarterly Review , and Father of the Asylum for Aged
and Decayed Freemasons . ( Loud Cheers . ) Brother Dr- Crucefix , who was visibly affected by the very warm greetings with which his name so associated was received , admitted his entire responsibility for the Review , ancl said he was willing , also , to share in the praise with which the Asylum now met . He had never been daunted , but rather stimulated by difficulties ; and success , he
trusted , would not impair his energy . ( Cheers . ) " The Past Grand Oflicers" received an emphatic response from Brother Macarthy , in an address in which the inculcations of morality , and the effervescences of good humour , were very happily blended . The worthy Provincial Grand Master then quitted the chair , with his excellent confrere and sonamidst the plaudits of all . The harmony of
, the evening was well sustained by Brother Spall , of the Corner Stone Loclge , who sang several songs in a peculiarly chaste style ; this talented Brother will soon be rated high among the professional gentlemen of the Craft ,
