confirmation , and unanimously approved . A Committee had been appointed to report to Prov .

This Committee now delivered their report , and in it recommended that an advance be made . The Prov . Grand Superintendent advocated the adoption
of this report ; at the same time he assured the companions he had not the slig htest wish to bias them in any way as to the conclusion they should arrive at . On the question being put to the meeting , it was carried " nem . con . " The bye-laws for the government of Prov . Grand Chapter were then read by G . S .

Strong trusted that Comp . Greenwood , in
acknowledging the receipt of this letter , would express the feelings of regret with which Grand Chapter had heard of Comp .

and Greenwood had rendered him immense assistance , and he confidently anticipated they would still exhibit the zeal they had hitherto displayed . He expressed his deep regret at the death of Comp .

Compton as well , or better than he did ,
and they could endorse all he had said . General Brownrigg referred to the progress the Royal Arch was making in Surrey ; it was gratifying to meet so many companions as were present , but at the same time he thought the day had come when they might reasonably look for an extension of the Provincial Grand Chapter roll . There were several enterprising Masons in the province , who doubtless would like to see Royal Arch chapters attached to the lodges with
which they were connected . He thanked the companions heartily for their attendance that day . Provincial Grand Chapter was then closed in due form .
