" TheJ Queen , " " Sir F . M . Williams , G . S ., " " Colonel Burdett , " and others , Sir Knight J . T . Moss , proposed " The Health of Sir Knight Sillifant . M . P . S . " and said it was a matter ofthe greatest gratification to propose the health because in going through the chair , he hoped
that Sir Knight would find it as pleasant as he had himself during his year of office . Fortunately Sir Knight Little was always at hand to perform , any ceremonies for him , and he had consequently got through his year very well . If the
present M . P . S . should necessarily be absent and unable lo do any of his work , Sir Knight Little would be happy to do it for him , and at the end of his year of office he must be congratulated on having served the Order worthily . ( Cheers . ) The M . P . S . said he was overwhelmed with the
power and eloquence of Sir Knight Moss—( laughter)—but putting that on one side , he could assure the Sir Knights that he should endeavour to carry out the charge placed in his hands . as sovereign of the Order , not as Sir Knight Moss had said he did it —( laughter ) , —
by deputy , but personally , and properly , and worthily . ( Cheers . ) Sir Knight Little in proposing " The Newly Installed Sir Knights Comps . in Arms , " regretted that more brother Masons out of the long list that were down for installation had not presented themselves for
Knighthood ; he was pleased , however , to say that one of those who did come up was introduced to himself by Commander Scott , a distinguished Irish Mason , who had achieved great respect in the sister country . Sir Knight Macartney had recently obtained a seat in the
House of Commons , for that Sir Knights would greet him with the utmost enthusiasm . From what he had seen of the ceremony , although it had been shorn of much of its paraphernalia through an accident , Sir Knight Macartney was much pleased with it ; but had he seen all
of it , he would have perceived an amount of the Masonic Symbolism which he could form no idea of . The conclave were sorry that thc ceremonyj had not been given in full form , but on a future occasion Sir Knight Macartney , and Sir Knight Symons , would have an opportunity of
witnessing it with all its accessories , and with what the Knights of thc- Red Cross considered order and decorum . Sir Knight Levander had introduced Sir Knight Symons , who was an enthusiastic although a very young Mason . He had travelled much in the Hol y Land , and had

seen the traditions collected together there which were thc pride of Masonry , which were true , and were based on solid foundations . The more Sir Knight Symons saw of Masonry , whether of Craft , Mark , or Knightly Orders , the more would he be disposed to greet the great
traditions with which Masonry was mdissolubly associated The Knights of this conclave gave these newly installed Sir Sir Knights a hearty welcome and their best wishes for their further progress in Freemasonry .
Sir Knight Macartney , M . P ., said the mode in which his health and that of Sir Kni ght Symons had been proposed and drunk was highly gratifying , but he was much pleased himself with the warm and cordial tone of Sir Kni ght Little towards his friend commander Scott . He btdieved
there was not a better Mason living . The more he saw of Freemasonry , the more exalted opinion he formed of the purposes of the Order . Shorn as it had been in part of some of the paraphernalia of the ceremonies of that day , which contained so much ofthe very highest symbols of the Craft bearing * on the truths of their common
Christianity , yet no man he thought conld be admitted to the Order without feeling himself very deeply touched . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not enter this degree in a jovial manner , but felt the seriousness of it ( hear hear ) , and he thought that the mors the seriousness of it was felt the more
they would be prepared to carry out the real objects of Masonry . The first step a Mason took was one in which he felt himself bound with all those who confessed one God ( hear , hear ) , and that was a very wide and ennobling idea . But still more touching and endearing to
the heart was the coming into the Christian orders where we saw ceremonies still more closely attached to our eternal interests . Masonry seemed to him to be a system which led man to his God , and by steps to the most practical and best ways , teaching him to love his God
and to love his neighbour , through love to the one to love tho other ; and that he thought was the teaching of the symbolism he had just witnessed . Although some inanimate objects were away , he who inducted the candidates into the Order did it in such a way that they could not forget it .
( Hear , hear . ) He felt greatly honoured at being admitted to the Conclave ; he had been proposed by an esteemed friend and he had been received like a friend . He had always found among Masons a fraternal and kind reception . ( Hear , hear ) . He was latel y in Italy , a country where
Masonry was very extensively , but not properly practised . He was invited by a Neapolitan Mason , and the working ofthe lodge was good . The lodge was much used for political purposes , but still he was received in a most cordial and fraternal manner , and with all the honours that
could be bestowed on a British Mason . He was the first British Mason that ever sat in a Masonic lodge in Rome . He hoped to see thc day when those Italian Masons would devote themselves to the true principles and teaching of Masonry , that they would be in connection
with us before long , and that Masons would then be a brotherhood over all the world . ( Cheers . ) Sir Knight Symons said that a knight who had been a brother so short a time as he had must have very little to say , but yet he could safely affirm that the excessive solemnity
of the ceremony of installation which he had just passed through had impressed him very deeply . He had onl y taken the third degree a month ; therefore it would be seen he had taken the earliest opportunity of extending his Masonic acquaintance . His experience of that day had
led him to desire an extension of that acquaintance which he should not hesitate to make . He felt very deeply the honour that had been done him by his admission to the conclave , and he would take this opportunity of thanking his proposer , Sir Knight Levander , and his seconder ,
Sir Knight Little , for their kind offices . As his travels had been mentioned b y Sir Knight Little , he must say that in those travels his convictions on Freemasonry had been greatly strengthened by his experience of facts
which had been handed clown to them in the history of pastagrs , that had not a little added to his faith . What he had been taught in history tallied exactl y with what he had found , and he thought the knowledge of this'fact , might be
