Bro . ROBINS said that no one liked justice better than Freemasons ; equal laws and equal justice they venerated . He would therefore propose the health of the Chief Justice and the Judges of the land . The AVorshipful RUTHERFORD proposed the health of the It . VV . P . Grand Master , the Rev . AV . G . P . Burton . ( We regret that the state of the Rev . P . G . Master ' s health had
compelled him to retire before this toast was drunk ; indeed it was evident throughout the clay he was labouring under severe indisposition . ) The R . AA' . Dr . EWART saicl , as the Provincial Grand Master was not present , he felt it incumbent on him to return thanks for the toast just drunk . He was sure that if the Grand Alaster were present , he would do so in much better terms than he ( Dr . Ewart ) coulcl It was not the first time that he had been called upon to acknowledge a similar
compliment to this worthy individual . In stating his own opinion , he was satisfied that he was only uttering the sentiments of all who knew the Rev . and AVorshipful Grand Alaster . As a man , he was beloved by all ; as a Christian minister , he was valued and respected by every member of his church ancl by all his parishioners ; ancl as a Alason , his exertions for the benefit of the Craft were invaluable and unceasing . Every one who had seen the efforts he had made for the advancement of Alasonry in this country , would acknowledge that his chief aim had not only been to extend Alasonry , but to raise its respectability , ancl to benefit
the Craft generally , under whatever Grand Lodge the particular branch may work . That he has the advancement of Alasonry at heart , he need only appeal to the efforts he had made to establish , encourage , and foster the Glenlyon Lodge , to testify ; his efforts were to connect all branches of the institution . As Grand Alaster of Scotland , he was desirous to aid and befriend all Lodges , whether English , Scotch , or Irish . He has told you to-day that he desires that we may all work as a single body , no matter under what denomination we are established . I need not ,
however , take up your time in saying any more in favour of one whom all must acknowledge as the strenuous advocate of Masonry—the benefactor of the poor , and the friend of all . I return you thanks for the manner in which you have drunk the toast .
