great things to further its interests , and , as they had Oeen reminded , to his fostering care the success of the Institution was greatly due . He was sure they were all proud to be there under the presidency of their Prov . Grand Master , and all would join him in expressing the hope that health and life mig ht be spared to him for many years to come so that he might be enabled to preside over their deliberations .
The company rose and drank to "The Health of Col . Starkie" with great heartiness . The PROV . GRAND MASTER was received with renewed cheering on rising to respond . He said he thanked them for their kindness in receiving his health , as they had done , with such cordiality . He desired to be allowed to express his thanks to the Committee for the presentation of that
handsome jewel to him on that auspicious occasion . Let them be assured that he intended to wear it , not occasionally , but always , with his many other jewels and regalia , when he put on his official clothing . He had also to thank Bro . R . Mottram , the Mayor of Salford , for the kind expressions he had used in proposing his health . Ke was very much pleased to see that large assembly , and he thanked them for having come to honour them with their presence .
As Prov . Grand Master , he was bound to say that , although they might not probably excel every other province , yet in that great display which he saw before him , he thought they might fairly compare and vie with any other province in England in Masonic duty and in the exertions of the ladies who were associated with them . He was g lad to see that the ladies acknowledged the value of their Institutions by taking the interest they had in that
pleasant and happy festival . He begged now to ask the company to drink to " The Success of that Institution , " which they had so kindly ' assisted by their presence and by their generosity . It was an Institution of Charity ; it was an Institution of benevolence ; it was an Institution of goodwill . They might say it was a domestic Institution . The laws and principles of
Freemasonry were founded on universal benevolence . The keystone and cornerstone of universal benevolence was Charity , and Charity began at home . It had , therefore , been thought well , and the thought had been carried out , that benevolence and Charity towards their Institution should be strongly exercised by their local brethren . Their local brethren had worked and striven hard in its behalf . He had seen that
large Institution grow from a very small plant into a very big tree . The exertions of the Committee had brought that very pleasant meeting to the successful state at which it had arrived , and that success was very much due to Bros . Newton , Sillitoe , Cheetham , and Newbold . He assured them that the exertions of those brethren who had taken the work in hand had not been of an effervescent I— . — ...., .... „„ ,.::..., j character ; they were not the exertions of

a day . That was a project they had had in their minds for many years . Their zeal had not diminished from the day when it was first mentioned , and there was the greatest unanimity that the enterprise should be successful . That success was now evident
to all present . Lancashire , whether it be in Masonry or in commerce , or whatever it might be , when once its mind was set upon a universal purpose , was not to be beaten by any country in the world . Nor was the
city of Manchester to be defeated in commercial or charitable undertakings by any of the great cities of the universe . Long might that spirit of emulation , whether it be in commerce or charity , distinguish the
inhabitants of our great communities , and long might meetings such as that at which they were assembled be held , to the benefit not only of ordinary society , but to the benefit of the poor and oppressed , those who were overcomebyallliction and
distresswho might come and be relieved by the tender hands and noble hearts of those who had Charity at heart ! Long might the principles of their Order diffuse itself through all sections of the community for the benefit of mankind , and for the benefit also of that great province !
Bro . SILLITOE , who was heartily cheered , responded to the toast . He said that as the mouthpiece of the Committee who had brought that festival to so successful an issue , he had to thank them most heartily for the kind words that had been addressed to him , and for the presentation they had
made him . He also had sincerely to thank those ladies and brethren who had come forward so nobly and so liberally with their contributions . There rested the whole matter . Had it not been for the hearty response they had given to the appeals of the Committee , he was quite sure they could not
have brought together so goodly an assembly , nor could they have hoped to realise such an amount as would in a very few moments be announced to them . It would be remembered that in November last at the meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge , he ventured to assert that if the P . G . M . would only raise the banner of Charity , he would find the brethren of his province rally round that standard and support him loyally
and liberally . That they had done so would , he thought , be verified by the proceedings of that day . He did not intend , on an occasion like the present , to detain them with any figures or statistics . But it mi ght not be out of p lace if he gave a glance at the past of that Institution . In 1874 , at the instigation of the P . G . M ., a committee was formed to consider the advisability of commtneinga new charitable work , in addition to tho ? e in existence . At the Provincial Grand Lodge in November , 1875 , the Committee reported
that they had had many meetings , and on the proprfiiiou of the late lamented Bro . W . Romaine Callender , seconded by Bro . \\ ill im Slater , an institution was formed called the East Lancashire Sy . sfr ' atic Masonic Educational and Benevolent Institution . Under the fosteii p ; care of their P . G . M . that Institution had grown until it had reached , v . iihin a very few months of what might be called its coming of age . They would be enabled , in a few months , to celebrate its 21 st birthday . In families and among all

great people it was customary , at a coming of age , to make merry and bring handsome presents to those who had attained their 21 st birthday . The brethren of that province were that day carrying out that custom , and were making handsome presents to that Institution , which , as he had said , had attained , within a few months , the age of 21 years . The golden gifts
they had brought would enable the Committee of that Institution to extend the area of their benevolence , and to cheer the hearts of many a poor and distressed widow and fatherless child , who , under other circumstances , might be left in suffering and want . They would be enabled to relieve their distress and to kindle in their hearts joy and gladness . He need not go further into detail . The claims and benefits of that Institution were so well
known throughout the province that he was sure all present would regard the success of that day with the utmost pleasure . He had to thank the P . G . M ., who proposed the toast , for the kind words he had used , and he most emphatically thanked the ladies and brethren present for the kind , noble , and generous manner in which they had answered to the appeal of the Committee .
Bro . the Rev . J . KELTY , P . G . Chap ., in a humorous speech , proposed the toast of " The Ladies . " He remarked that the P . G . M ., a few minutes ago , had said that perhaps in some things that province could not compare with other provinces . He ( Bro . Kelty ) ventured to say that with regard to the ladies East Lancashire could compare with any province , and he would
venture further , and say that no one would agree more heartily with that sentiment than their P . G . M . He was a Lancashire man , and he knew what the "Lancashire witches" were . He was glad to find that there was a Masonic spirit amongst their sisters , that they were interested in that Institution , and had aided in its advancement .
Bro . J . J . MEAKIN , P . P . G . W ., responded to the toast , and said , in the name of the ladies , that the meeting they had attended had been so pleasant and agreeable that they hoped there would be many more of the same kind . This concluded the toast list . ] Bro . J . NEWTON , the Secretary of the Institution , then read a list of the .
Stewards—of whom , he said , there were 4 S 2—and the amounts contributed . The announcement of the higher sums evoked much cheering , and when Bro .. Newton stated that the sum total was ^ 3966 , there was an outburst of enthusiasm . Shortly after . the aggregate amount was disclosed , the sum was increased to over ^ 4000 , a result most gratifying to all concerned .
