Reports Of Masonic Meetings.

more they knew of Bro . Worrell the more perfectly were they satisfied with all he did . He was having a very favourable year of office , and it was not at all unlikely that the William Preston Lodge would complete its mission as far as its numbers were concerned ( it is limited to fifty

members ) before he vacated the chair . In conclusion Bio . Newman wished the W . M . a happy and prosperous Stewardship to the Boys' School . In replv the W . M . thanked Bro . Newman and the brethren present for the kind manner in which his health had been proposed and drunk ,

and for the kindness and good feeling which was being extended to him on all sides during his year of office . He trusted that when he retired from the chair he would be able to reflect that he had done his duty to the best of his ability . lira . Newman had alluded to the number of

initiates present , and he would add that for some time past such a thing as the full number of initiates had not been known in that lodge . He might say , for the information of the initiates , that , without a dispensation from Grand Lodge , that was the greatest number that could be initiated

upon one occasion . He had not a personal knowledge of all of the initiates , but he was very much pleased with the attention they had paid to the ceremonies that evening ; he trusted that they would continue the work as well as they commenced it , and he hoped that some at

least of them would in due time rise to be W . M . ' s of the William Preston Lodge . He concluded by proposing " The Health of the Initiates" This toast having been responded to by the Initiates , the W . M . rose and proposed "The Health of the Visitors" in doing which

he remarked that they were always honoured by several ; aud he was happy to say that when their visitors had been once , they often came again , the sentiment " I have been there and still would go" which prompted their visitors the William Preston Lodge to be as a great

compliment , because it proved that their brethren were gratified by a visit to the William Preston Lodge . The health of the Past Masters and that of the officers were also proposed by Bro . Worrell , in doing which he acknowledged the obligation the . Master was always under to those who had

preceded him in the chair . He believed that Masons had no conception of the amount of assistance rendered by the Past Masters until they had been through the chair . As regards the officers he said that however good a Master a lodge niicht possess the work could not be

properly executed unless the efforts of the Master were heartily and efficiently seconded by his officers . He was happy to say that he was assisted by an excellent staff of officers , who knew their duties and had the interest of the lodge at

heart . The Past Masters and officers bavin " returned thanks the brethren separated after a remarkably satisfactory evening , memorable alike for excellent working in the lodge , and for the very pleasant social gathering which followed it .
