Consecration Of The Fort Lodge No. 1528, At Newquay , Cornwall.
CONSECRATION OF THE FORT LODGE No . 1528 , AT NEWQUAY , CORNWALL .
For many years past the members of the Masonic fraternity residing in Newquay and the neighbourhood have been desirous of establishing a lodge in the town , for the purpose of making themselves more intimately acquainted with the mysteries of the Craft , but from various causes
the matter was postponed until about a year ago , when the brethren determined that their town should no longer bear the stigma of being unrepresented in the Masonic roll of the province , and accordingly they forwarded a petition to the
Provincial Grand Master ( the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe ) for transmission to the Grand Master of England ( the Prince of Wales ) , praying that they might be constituted into a lodge , to be named the " Fort , " after the residence of

the first W . M . designate , who has taken a prominent part in the necessary preliminaries . A warrant was granted by Grand Lodge , and the ' * Fort " Lodge stands enrolled as No . 1 . 528 in its archive ? . On Tuesday , the 2 nd inst ., the lodge was consecrated by the P . G . M ., and is now the twenty-sixth lodge in Cornwall .
The P . G . M . was assisted by his principal officeis , except Bro . T . Chirgwin , P . S . W ., whose absence on account of illness was much regretted , Bro . Captain Colville officiated in his stead . The P . G . M . offered up the prayers in the absence of the P . G . Chap ., and also empowered the
members of the lodge to exercise all their rights and privileges agreeably to the tenure of their charter and the ancient usages of the fraternity . An eloquent charge on the nature and objects of Masonry was delivered by the P . G . M . Masonry was , he said , thought by many people outside the
Order a kind of religion of its own , which must be inconsistent witb Christianity . He denied that it was so . They were free from religious controversy , simply because . Masonry never attempted to trench upon the worship of God , but made its object solely to inculcate ancl enforce
the command which formed part of all forms of Christian religion , to love one ' s neighbour as oneself . They should act honourably and unselfishly in their dealings with their fellow men , _ nd in ali relations of life ; not from worldly motives , not merely because it benefitted them ,
but from the . higher principle that they believed that in acting so they were doing what was a blessing to the Most High . Bro . Wm . Edwards Michell was installed as the first W . M . by Bro . Colville , at the request of
the P . G . M .. and he appointed Bros . Thos . Gill Prout as S . VV . ; VV . C . Martyn , f . W . ; E . A . Bennett , Treas .-, VV . R . White , Sec . ; li . Wellington , S . D . ; and W . Bellamy , J . D . The lodge was furnished by Bro . George Kennine * .
