THE LOGIC CLUB .
The 18 th annual banquet of this club , founded 18 years ago with the object of affording additional opportunitiel to Masons to perfect themselves in the ritual , took place on the 29 th ult ., at Frascati ' s Restaurant , Bro . R . Manuel in the chair . The originators were Bros . George Buckland and John Maclean , both welL known actors in their day , and Bro . J . P , Fitzgerald , the still energetic Secretary . Most of the original constituents were actors , but members of other professions are now admitted . The club meets every Sunday morning between October and April .
The Royal toasts having been duly honoured , the CHAIRMAN proposed " The Health of Bro . McLeod , Secretary of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , " the guest of the evening , remarking that the success of June 10 last , when £ 143 , 000 was collacted for Masonic Charities , at a banquet over which the Prince of Wales presided , had been , to a considerable extent , due to his personal efforts . ( Cheers . )
In reply , Bro . MCLEOD said he was proud to belong to a club which did so much to spread among Masons a knowledge of the ritual of the Order . ( Cheers . ) But the credit of the great collection to which reference had b : en made was due to the personal influence of the Prince of Wales and his presence at the banquet . ( Prolonged cheers . )
The CHAIRMAN then gave "Continued Success to the Club , " stating that every Sunday morning they met many young Masons who , desiring to gain distinction in their lodges , made great progress in learning the ritual . Bro . FITZGERALD , in reply , said the year just closing constituted a record , in
that they had enrolled 33 new members . During their existence they had paid 2550 guineas to the Boys' and Girls' Schools and the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution . In the course of the evening an excellent programme of music and recitations was provided by members and their triends .

FREEMASONS AT CHURCH .
Masonic services in places of worship have of late become very frequent , but hitherto have been confined to the Established Church . On the 29 th ult ., however , an innovation was made—which is unique in the annals of Nonconformity—at the handsome and commodious Congregational Church in the Kingsland-road , where one of these services was conducted ,
cf which the Rev . M . H . Le Pla is the pastor . 1 he service was held under the auspices of the Clissold Lodge , No . 2551 ( Bro . A . H . Cooper , W . M . ) , and by a special dispensation granted by the M . W . G . M ., H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , the brethren—who occupied the area of this fine building—wore the Craft clothing and jewels indicative of their rank in the Order .
The sermon was preached by Bro . the Rev . W . Whittley ( of Cricklewood ) , P . G . D ., and P . P . G . Chap . Devon , the lesson being read by Bro . the Rev . F . W . A-el ' ng , M . A ., P . P . G . Chap . Somerset . Bro . A . Briscoe , Past Provincial Grand Organist Surrey , the gifted composer of the anthem and magnificat , presided at the organ , the musical portion of the
service , which was throughout most beautifully rendered , being supplemented by a choir belonging to the church and orchestra under the conduc . orship of Bro . Warwick Williams . Prior to the service the brethren entered the church in procession , Bo . James Terry , P . G . S . B ., Sec . R . M . B . I ., acting as Director of the Ceremonies .

The sermon wis preached from the text I . Corinthians , ch . 3 v . 13 , " Every man ' s work shall be made manifest , " and emphasis was laid upon the fact that Freemasonry knew nothing of denominationalism . The Rev . M . H . LE PLA , who on this occasion wore his silk gown , took the opportunity of offering from the pulpit a hearty welcome to those
members of Mas inic lodges who had so kindly attended on that occasion to lend their support on behalf of the church funds . He had not been initiated into the mysteries of the Order , but for many years he had heard of the marvellous Charity which chiracterised the Craft , and knew of their desire to promote the brotherhood of mankind , and the well being generally of the human race .
A special collection wis made on behalf of the church funds , which amounted to £ 25 7 s . 2 L , after which Miss Emily Davis sang , with charming expression , " With verdure did . " Then the chcir , strengthened by the organ and orchestral accompaniment , rendered the festival anthem , " Awake thou that sleepest , " and before separating the congregation joined with great heartiness in singing Sir Michael Costa ' s effective arrangement of " God bless our native land , " to the tune of the National Anthem . Bro . Walter Syckelmore was the Choir Superintendent .
