MASONIC MEMOIR OF THE LATE BRO . GEO . AARONS ,
P . M ., P . Z ., ETC . OUR deceased brother was too well known as an enlightened and enthusiastic Freemason to be merely recorded in the obituary . His masonic information was extensive , his knowledge of the ritual letter-perfect . Dark he was as regarded the orbs of light , having lost the great blessing by amaurosis ; but gifted he was by mental vision , and he searched the scriptures by the aid of friendsto whom he expounded
, them with a moral clearness that astonished many ministers of the Jewish faith , of which he was a member . We have carefully examined into our correspondence with the deceased brother , and the reader will observe that we extract so freely , that Bro .

Masonry , at my father ' s recommendation , on the 18 th March , 1819 . M y honoured parent has retired from business , but occasionally visits lodges . * I was initiated in the Lodge of Israel , 353 , by Bro . Broadfoot . A few days after , at a Lodge of Instruction , I got introduced to the late Bro . Peter Gilkes , and became his pupil ; after a few months'instruction I was placed by his recommendation at the head of the Manchester Lodge of Instruction , and continued , in conjunction with him , to hold the office of W . M . for nearlv seven vears .
Jan ., 1820 . —Being on business in Essex , I took the opportunity to visit the Angel Lodge in Colchester , by the introduction of Bro . Ward , of the Duncan ' s Head in that town . The lodge being deficient of good workmen , and finding Bro . Ward desirous to be made competent to learn our ceremonies , I gave him private instruction , and as opportunities offered continued until he was efficient . He was afterwards considered one of the best workmen in the Craft .
1822 . —During a business journey through Norfolk , I visited the lodges , gave instruction , and initiated several candidates . I was in this year made the W . M . of my lodge , 353 . I also became a member and Junior Warden of the Hiram Lodge . The Lodge of Joppa being in want of a lecturer , I was elected an honorary member for that purpose . Bro .
