Laying The Foundation Stone Of St Anne's Church, Bagshot.
His ROYAL H IGHNESS having tested it with the ' plumb-rule handed to him by the Junior Grand Warden said— " I find this stone to be plumb , and the Craftsmen have prepared it true and trust }' . " Applying the level handed by the Prov . Grand Senior Warden he said " I find this stone to be level , and the Craftsmen have laboured skilfully . " Trying it with the square
handed by the Grand Master he said " I find this stone to be [ plumb , level and square , and I declare it to be truly prepared and duly laid , and that the Craftsmen have done their work well . " He then gave three knocks with the maul , and declared the stone duly laid . Corn , wine and oil were
then placed on the stone , emblematical of plenty and abundance , joy , and peace and unanimity . Might peace , prosperity , happiness and goodwill ever prevail amongst those who should minister in that place , to the glory of the Most High , till time should be no more . ( So mote it be ) .
The BISHOP then prayed that true faith , the fear of God , and brotherly love mig ht always abide , and that the place might remain ever consecrated to prayer and the praises of His holy name . As the offertory was being taken the choir and congregation sang the hymn , " Christ is our
cornerstone . A pleasing incident here occurred , her Royal Highness the Duchess receiving at the hands of several children , some of whom were very diminutive , and appeared timid and abashed in the presence of royalty , purses containing sums collected towards the Building Fund . The first to place a
purse upon the stone was the rosy-faced little infant , Princess Margaret , only a few months old , and who appeared charmingly oblivious of the prominent part she was taking in the ceiemony . Her father , the duke , patted her lovingly on the cheek as she was being taken up to the stone in the arms
of her nurse . The anthem " How dreadful is the place" and Psalm Ixxxvii ., " His foundations are upon the holy hills , " were sung , and the concluding prayers were said by the VICAR , the BISHOI ' pronouncing the Benediction .
Soon afterwards the company dispersed , the Royal party , accompanied by the Bishop of Winchester , Mrs . Harold Browne , and the Bishop ' s Chaplain , driving home to Bagshot Park . The clergy and other friends were entertained at the Vicarage , and the brethren having reassembled in Prov . Grand Lodge were thanked for their attendance in such numbers and dismissed , returning by the 4 . 30 train for home .
