Consecration Of The Llanidloes Lodge, No. 1582.
masonry in the Province than our present headbut recently arrived in England after a long absence , almost his first act was to fix days for consecrating new lodges ? Here to-day , to-morrow at Newtown . Right Worshipful Sir , as this is the first lodge you have visited within
the Principality since your happy return amongst us , allow me to be so presumptuous as , in the names of the Freemasons of the Principality , to most heartily congratulate , ° ' i" ' ¦ ¦ ' complete restoration to health . Breinreu , when drinking the health of our Most Worshipful Grand
Master , we joined thereto the health of his Consort . In drinking the health of Sir Watkin let us add to the toast a name highly honoured amongst us , that of " . Lady Wynn , " the partner of the joys and sorrows of our RightWorshipful Grand Master . Right Worshipful Sir , let me
add , that amongst the many pleasing reminiscences of this auspicious day , the most prominent in the minds of the brethren of the Llanidloes Lodge will be that they were the first in North Wales to have the great pleasure of receiving you and congratulating you upon your return ,
and allow me , Right Worshipful Sir , on their behalf , to thank you for coming here to-day to honour us with your presence , and consecr ating our lodge . ( Cheers . ) Sir Watkin—I beg to return thanks for the kind way in which you have received my health .
I told you in the lodge room I regretted that my absence from England caused the delay in my attending to the consecration of this lodge . Connected as I am with this part of the county by old ties , and by ties of property , I did not like that this lodge should be
opened by deputy . Having been mixed up with this county in various ways for so many years I , selfishly , perhaps , did not wish to depute the honour to other persons , although I know Lord Harlech would have done so more to your satisfaction , as he has more power of oratory . ( No ,
no . ) I have taken that liberty , and I apologise for having done so . As soon as I returned from abroad I wished to come here , but through the death of my brother-in-law I was obliged to ask you to have it postponed . I trust you will pardon the liberty I took . I went abroad for the
benefit of my health , and had an advantage which 1 fear many of you have not had—a charming winter . During my absence from England I scarcely saw a shower of rain or felt a cold day . I had also the archaeological and Masonic advantage of seeing the remains of
that great temple which Solomon built . When you pass over the surface of the ground the remains can be little seen ; but when you go down below it is curious to see the vaults , and it astonishes one to think how , before the times of steam power and derricks , such mighty stones
were put into their places ; it is a wonderful sight . I had the advantage of seeing the lodges of Malta , and it is a pleasure to see , even in those distant countries , how they respect the rites of Freemasonry . As to the good of Masonry , it is one of those powerful bodies which extend over
nearly the whole of the world in all liberal countries ( I believe in some countries it is feared it may do harm ) . If you look over the Book of Constitutions , its tenets are , F ' ear God , Honour the Queen . I beg again to thank you for the kindness you have always shown me since I have had the honour to preside over this
Provincial Grand Lodge . Before I sit down I must express to you how much Lady Williams Wynn will feel when I tell her how kindl y you have received her name . She passed a great deal of her early life in a country where Masonry is as much looked up to as it is in England—the country from which the Princess of Wales comes ; and I believe the Prince of Wales was induced
to enter Masonry because both in Sweden and in Denmark he had heard of the benefit and good of Masonry . Though , of course , it might be a regret to us that he was made a Mason in another country , it is a great pleasure to all Masons that he presides over us . I trust he will some time , though long hence , rule over this country . I
regret extremely to say that during the last few days I was in London , from what I heard , the Prince of Wales is not likely to come into the Principality this year . After the exertions he has undergone in India he requires rest . He was unable to be present at the Derby , and he has now gone into the country .
Consecration Of The Llanidloes Lodge, No. 1582.
The W . M . then proposed "The Health of Lord Harlech , the Deputy Prov . G . Master , and the Officers of the Provincial Grand Lodge , " and expressed the regret which he knew all must feel that the state of his lordship ' s health did not permit of his being present . Ho also said ,
with respect to the other Provincial Grand Officers , he would not trouble them with many remarks on the way in which they carried out the duties of their respective offices , but could not overlook two of the officers whose duties were more permanent than those of others . He
alluded to their highly-respected and esteemed Provincial Grand Treasurer and the Provincial Grand Secretary ( Bio . Spaull ) , and coupled with the toast the name of Bro . Spaull . The R . W . Prov . G . Master—I am goi . ig to take up the gavel . We have arrived at the toast
of the evening , and we have to return thanks to the Llanidloes Lodge for the kind reception they have given us ; and we have to congratulate them on the promise of their being one of the very efficient lodges of the province ; and I shall call upon you to drink to their prosperity . As to
Bro . Collender , I have not known him for very many years . He is one of those Masons who have come into this country and who have worked for the good of Masonry . He is one of those who have been among the active Masons , and I beg to propose his health .
The W . M . said—Right Worshipful Grand Master , I return you sincere thanks for the very kind way in which you have proposed my health as Master of Llanidloes Lodge . I can assure you that the success of to-day is not in any way attributable to myself , but to the other founders
of the lodge . When 1 was invited to become the first Master of the lodge I felt it was a duty incumbpnt on me , aid one which I think is incumbent on every Mason when called upon to do so , to accept the office . Having accepted that office in which you , Right Worshipful Sir ,
have been pleased to place me this day , nothing shall be wanting on my p . irt to place this lodge in that position in the province it is entitled to . , As the time is getting on , and time and train ' wait for no man , I will only again return you my sincere thanks for proposing my health , and my brethren for so kindly responding to the toast .
Ihe W . M . said—I have now the pleasing , duty to propose to you " The Health of Bro . Goldsbrough . " His name is as familiar in the province as a household word . It is now more than 12 years since he came amongst us Masonically , and that as the first Master of No . 908 . Since
then he has consecrated every new lodge , with one exception , in the province . How many of us must be indebted to him for assistance in placing Freemasonry at our doors . Brethren , to attempt to give you any idea of what Bro . Goldsbrough has done in Masonry is utterly beyond
my powers . You have all seen in how impressive a manner he has performed the ceremony of consecration this day . Very Worshipful Sir , on behalf of the Llanidloes Lodge let me sincerel y thank you for the great kindness you have done us this day by conducting the ceremonies , and
to express our wish that the Great Architect of the Universe will spare you for many years to come , to enable you to repeat for the guidance and instruction of lodges yet to come the beautiful ceremonies of to-day . Bro . Goldsbrough replied , thanking the W . M .
and brethren for the honour they had done him , and congratulated the lodge upon their auspicious commencement , and wished the W . M . and brethren every prosperity . The W . M ., in proposing " The Visitors , "
remarked that amongst the great pleasures of Masonry is that of welcoming in our lodges and at the festive board visiting brethren . He thanked the visitors for so materiall y assisting in the pleasure of the day by their presence , and in aiding so greatly in launching the new ship so propitiously , and expressed the hope that the
brightness of the present might be only the promise of many such visits , and assuring them that the Llanidloes Lodge would be only too glad to welcome them . The W . M . coupled with this toast the name of the R . W . Bro . Major Phillips , P . G . M . for the western division of South Wales .
R . W . Bro . Major Phillips replied , acknowledging thecompliment , and expressed the great gratification he felt in having been present on the occa-

The Tyler ' s toast brought to a close tlvj pro . ceedmgs of a day long to be remembered by t ] u . Craft in Llanidloes . The pleasure of the evening was greatly enhanced by the singing o . Bros Dunaille , Hazlitt , Roscoe , and Russell .
