The Freemason , SATURDAY , DECEMBER 7 , 1872 .
United Grand Lodge.
UNITED GRAND LODGE .
Grand Lodge Quarterl y Communication was held on Wednesday evening at Freemasons ' Hall . The Grand Master , the Marquis of Ripon ,
K . G ., presided , having Lord Tenterden , in the S . W . chair , and Col . Lowry Cole as J . W . The Rev . J . Huyshe , Prov . G . M . Devon , acted as D . G . M . ; and the Earl of Limerick as Past G . M .
The other Grand Officers were in their places , and there was a strong attendance of Past Grand Officers ; Grand and Past Grand Stewards were very numerous , and the Masters , Past Masters ,
and Wardens of private lodges made up an exceptionally full Grand Lodge . The entry of the Grand Master , accompanied by his Grand Officers , to the music of the Organ , performed
by Bro . Wilhelm Ganz , G . O . ; was the signal for a hearty burst of applause . Grand Lodge was opened with the necessary observances , and Bro . John Hervey , G . S ., read
the minutes of last Grand Lodge . These having been put and confirmed , the nomination of Grand Master for the ensuing year wis undertaken by Bro . F . A . Philbrick , P . M ., No . 8 , who said : —
Brethren , I beg to nominate as M . W . G . M . of the Craft for the ensuing year the Most Hon . the Marquis of Ripon , our present G . M ., a
nomination which I trust will secure , as I know it deserves , the unanimous assent of this Grand Lodge and of the Craft in general . ( Great applause . )
TheW . G . M .: —The next business which stands on the paper , is a motion which I am desirous of submitting to this Grand Lodge , and which I feel conlident will meet with the approval of
evenbrother who is present on this occasion , because it is entirely consistent with the great principles of our Craft , that the brethren of one country should sympathise deeply with all which concerns
the interest and welfare of the Craft in any other portion of the world . Now , brethren , as you are aware , the Craft in Sweden , had for many years the great advantage of having at its head the late
monarch of that country , His Majesty Ring Charles XV . a sovereign whose private and public character , whose abilities and intellectual acquirements were of a nature to secure for him the
respect and admiration not onl y of his own subjects but all , as I understand , who had the good fortune to be brought into contact with him . But it happens that we have a greater and a nearer
interest in him , because his Majesty was at the head of the Craft of Sweden , and gave to Freemasonry the important sanction of his sovereign name and office . Jt would therefore be natural
that we should express to the Grand Lodge ol Sweden our sympathy , and that ue should offer them our condolence upon the great loss which they have sustained by the deatli of their eminent
sovereign . But there is one circumstance' wh ' ch would make it , I think , highly unbecoming if we English Masons diil not take some step of this
kind upon this occasion , becausj it was through the instrumentality of the King of Sweden that our Past Grand Master , His Royal Highness the
United Grand Lodge.
Prince of Wales , was initiated in the Craft . ( Hear ¦ hear . ) I know , brethren , that there have been many amongst us who have regretted that H . R . H . was not initiated in England . ( Hear , hear . )
But we must all remember the peculiar fitness that there was in the heir to the crown of this country receiving his initiation from a European Sovereign ( hear , hear ); and I think we must all
bear in peculiar reverence the memory of the illustrious sovereign who was thus the Masonic parent , if I may be pardoned the expression , of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , who
initiated him into the Ancient Order , and who implanted in him , as we have had since such ample proofs , the most pure and perfect Masonic principles , and who inspired him with a love
for Freemasonry which I am able to say , and which indeed you all know from what you yourselves have seen , has increased more and more , as H . R . H . has become more and more
acquainted with the principles and working of the Craft . I say therefore , brethren , that we should be wanting in that sympathy which is due to our Swedish brethren if we did not upon this
occasion evince the interest which the brethren of England have in the brethren of Sweden by expressing to them our heartfelt sympathy and condolence . I believe these feelings find an echo
in the breast of every one here present . I will herefore not detain you longer , but will read * to you the address which I propose . His Lordship then read the formal address to be sent to the Grand Lodge of Sweden .
The Rev . John Huyshe , Prov . G . M ., Devon , seconded the motion , which was then put by the M . W . G . M ., and carried nem . con . In moving the next resolction , " that the
thanks of Grand Lodge be offered lo the V . W . 15 ro . John Llewellyn Evans , for the valuable services he has rendered to the Craft while presiding over the Board of General Purposes
during the last ten years , " the M . W . G . M . said : " It is , as you are aware , not my custom to offer you , nor would it he , indeed , consistent with the position which I have the honour by your favour
to hold , that I should offer to you very frequent resolutions in Grand Lodge , and therefore it is somewhat singular to rind myself in the position to propose two resolutions to yoti in the sa ; -ne night , but I felt that I could not consent to leave in the
hands ol" any other brother to propose that which 1 am confident if I had not proposed would have been proposed b y some one else , viz ., a vote of thanks of this Grand Lodge to our V . W . Bro .
John Llewellyn * Evans , the late President of the Hoard of General Purposes ( cheers ) . Brethren , our Brother was , as I find , initiated in the Craft
111 the year J 8 , 51 , and he was appointed a Grand ( Xrieer in the year 1 S 42 , by his late Royal Highness tlie Duke of Sussex . He has been ten
years President of the Board of General Purposes . He has devoted himself [ earnestly and energetically to the duties of his important office , and he has rendered in that capacity great
services to the Craft ( hear , hear ) . Now , brethren , I believe it to be good policy in every society , whether it be a national society
represented by its government , or whether it be a bod y of Freemasons , to know well both how to reward and how to punish . There are some
