The Gilkes' Tribute.
Brother Palmer again rose to propose the health of a Brother whose services in the cause of charity were well known to the Order , he alluded to Brother Lythgoe , who , notwithstanding his numerous avocations , gave a great portion of his valuable time to promote the interests of the Boys School . Brother Lythgoe acknowledged tbe compliment with that singular propriety which always characterizes his address . In promoting the
cause of the orphan children , he gratified the best feelings of his own heart . The manner , he observed , in which they had received the compliment was doubly gratifying to him , for he could not but feel that he had been marked * ivith displeasure in a high quarter . Why , he knew not : —his motives were pure ; his anxious wish was to preserve the integrity of the Order , promote the interests of its excellent charities , and perform conscientiously the duties of the office that he
had undertaken . The worthy and talented Brother was listened to with deep attention , and his address produced a great sensation on the company . " Prosperity to the roof we are under , " and many thanks for the liberal manner in which Bros . Cuff and Bacon have met our wishes , was the concluding toast , which was gratefully acknowledged by Br . Bacon .
