Logic Club.

LOGIC CLUB .

The excellent work done by the Logic Club was fully demonstrated on Sunday morning , the 27 th ult ., when the last meeting of the session , at the Cavendish Rooms , W ., was attended by about 80 brethren . In the resitmi of the past session given by the Preceptor , Bro . Manuel , P . M ., the great interest taken in the club by the members is clearly evinced , whilst the figures quoted by Bro . J . J . Thomas , P . G . S . B ., Secretary of the Charity Association attached , proves the continued and valuable suport given to the Masonic Institutions .

The lodge was opened , and a telegram despatched to Bro . R . Eve , P . G . Treas ., regretting his absence through ill-health . Bro . R . Manuel , P . M ., Preceptor , then proceeded to install Bro . J . P . Fitzgerald , P . M ., the Secretary of the Club , as W . M ., and once more justified his position as one of the foremost Preceptors by the accuracy of his working , and the sincere and sympathetic manner in which the beautiful ritual was rendered . Bro . Llewellyn sang " Be though faithful unto death , " in first class style , and the Board of Installed Masters was attended by 30 Masters and P . Ms .

Bro . R . MANUEL , P . M ., Preceptor , then gave a brief resume of the past session , since October , 1 S 99 . At the opening there were under 100 members and two Grand Officers . There membership was now 162 and eight Grand Officers . There were 13 Worshipful Masters actually in the chair , and seven or eight Wardens who were anxious to become Masters . They had met 35 times during the season—with the exception of December 24 th , known in the Club as Oyster Sunday—had rehearsed 34 ceremonies , eight installations , eight Third Degree ,

four Second Degree , and 12 initiation ceremonies . The other two Sundays were occupied in interchange of visits with the Genesis Club , a sister institution . One most interesting feature was'the fact that five Wor . Masters occupied the chair for the first time in their Masonic experience . As far as his memory served , they were Bros . Dr . Keatley , Meyrick , Masters , Barnes , and Gatfield , who all discharged their trying duty very efficiently . Some of them were so much encouraged that they rehearsed the Second Degree . The record of the year

was taken by Bro . Sleerr . an , who had occupied the chair three times , and had given in one morning the First Degree , the charge , aud the first tracing board . During the session they had not been unmindful of others having given five guineas to the Daily Telegraph Fund , 20 guineas to the South African Masonic Relief Fund , and 90 guineas equally distributed between the three great Masonic Institutions . The Treasurer had sent out what he liked to sec in so numerous a club—a frank statement of

receipts and expenditure . Their finances were managed by three distinguished brethren , Bro . J . J . Thomas looking after the Charity section and Bro . Duck after their comforts . They could fairly congratulate themselves on the past session , and there was one other point he wished to mention . Two or three brethren had shown not only their interest in the club but a desire that it should be well furnished . A great deal of their comfort was due to individual enthusiasm , and seeing some detail wanting , these brethren at once presented it . He should like these brethren to feel that their little kindnesses had not been overlooked .

Bro . J . P . FITZGERALD reminded the brethren that Bros . Manuel and Duck were both candidates for election to the Board of General Purposes on June 6 th . The sub-committee appointed to consider the summer outing announced that it would take place on Sunday , June 24 th , from Boulter ' s Lock , by electric launch , to Henley , concluding with a banquet at the Red Lion Hotel . Bro . J . J . THOMAS , P . G . S . B ., referred to the Masonic Benevolent Association in connection with the club , and reminded the members that in order to complete the Preceptor ' s list of 100 guineas to the Girls' and Boys' School , one subscriber was wanted for the former and six for the latter .

Bro . J . P . FITZGERALD , P . M ., introduced to the brethren Bro . Sultan Mohamad Khan who was shortly leaving England for Afghanistan . Bro . Sultan MOHAMAD KUAN expressed his delight with the working and his regret that he had not had the pleasure of attending before . He haped that very soon he would be able to return to England and again visit this club , of which he had a high opjnion . He hoped the members would prosper and that the Logic Club would be very prosperous when he came back to England .
