Consecration And Dediction Of A Masonic Temple In Carnarvon Castle.
Bro . Dymock in any part of the Province of North AVales and Shropshire is alone , and at all times , sufficient to insure the same hearty reception as that you have just given , and I know you all feel the same joy as I do , in seeing him here to-day , restored to health . After a night journey
of some two hundred and fifty miles , coupled with the information I received on my arrival here , that a melancholy occasion would prevent the Rig ht AVorshipful Grand Master being present , I could not help feeling somewhat depressed and unfitted for the duties devolving upon me , but
when we found that Bro . Dymock had arrived , and was accompanied by our esteemed Provincial Grand Wardens , Bros . Vaughan Williams , and Conner Wynne Edwards , we all felt new life and energy . It is indeed a great happiness to us all to see you , Right AVorshipful Deputy Grand
Master , here to preside over us . May yon , Sir , continue in renewed health and strength , and for many years , very many years to come , to add to the happiness of our meetings . Bro . Dymock returned thanks in a speech replete with warm-hearted and true Masonic
feeling , and calling upon the brethren to rill a bumper , proposed " The Health of Bro . Goldsborough , " who had conducted the ceremonial of consecration of the Masonic Hall that clay . Bro . Goldsborough thanked the Deputy Grand Master for the kind and complimentary terms in
which he had spoken of his services , and the brethren for their cordial and warm reception of the toast , concluding by . wishing prosperity to the Segontium Lodge , under whose auspices the Masonic Hall had originated , and had been so successfully carried out .
Bro . R . Vaughan AVilliams , P . G . S . AN . then proposed " the Health of Lady Williams AVynn , and the Ladies . "
Bro . Roden , P . Prov . G . S . AV . — " It is the greatest satisfaction to me to respond to the commands of the Deputy Provincial Grand Master , to propose the next toast . I know that the AV . Master of this Lodge has been one of the
prime movers in obtaining a grant ofthe Castle of Carnarvon . I will not go so far as to say he is the first or only agent , but we must give him that meed of praise whieh is due to his energetic character , and which 1 know he has been shown in the matter . You all will have observed that a
great amount of labour , time , care , and even anxiety , must have been expended in preparing that room for to-day . AVe saw there the result of days , weeks , and months of labour and exert ions . The room itself , I had never seen before to-day , nor did I think I should have to celebrate
in the programme , an humble address within the walls of a building , where I had never been before to day . I congratulate the Lodge on the fact that it has , through the kindness of official parties , been able to establish itself in that noble Hall . It is a point of great importance and
concern , that Masonic lodges should be held in places apart from hotels , and had you searched through the whole of the Principality , it would have been impossible to have found room accommodation equal to that in whieh you have been installed to-day . As to the master of the Lodge , brethren , I have simply alluded to these
circumstances in elucidation of his masonic zeal , 1 have always thought he would be a most useful member of masonry in this district , and willing to go here or there in the interest of masonry . J cannot say more , but will call upon you to drink " the health of Bro . Humphreys , the AV , master of this Lodge . "
Bro . I ( umphreys , P . G . S . B : — " with feelings ol very great pleasure 1 respond for the very kind way in which Bro . Roden has proposed and the very kind way the brethren have received the toast of my health—it were but ri ght to state
