W . chair being occupied by Bro . Joseph Dixon , P . P . S . G . W ., and that of the J . W . by Bro ' J . St . Clair , P . M . 3 8 , 1729 , P . G . J . W . After opening the lodge in the Three Degrees , the Prov .
G . Master stated that he had received a telegram from London , which he was sorry to say would oblige him to leave shortly after g o ' clock , and he regretted that on this account he should be unable to attend the banquet which was to follow these proceedings . The Dep . P . G . AL , Bro . Scott , having assumed the chair , saitl it was customary for the Presiding Officer and the
Chaplain to address the brethren on their assembling together . That day , unfortunately , the P . G . Chaplain was not able to be present , but Bro . Adams had consented to fill his place , and would presently address the brethren on the nature of Freemasonry . He did not know whether Bro . Adams would tell them anything about the oiigin of Freemasonry ; for his part he ( Bro . Scott ) did not know
anything about that . He had practised it according to the rules of Grand Lodge for twenty-six years ; but those who had studied Freemasonry had told him that it was impossible to speak of its origin with certainty . It was believed that ir . ancient times there was a fieeor travelling guild of Freemasons , who were bound together by secret signs , tokens , and words by which they were enabled to
recognise just men and true , and detect cowans and intruders . Thej were told by the late Sir Gilbert Scott that most , if not all , the splendid structures to be found in Europe were built by Freemasons . Besides being wonder , fully skilful in their art , they were men of the greatest purity of life antl had a code of maxims and principles , which , if faithfully carried out , could not fail of producing
a godly , righteous , and sober life . What were the duties they inculcated ? They could be summed up in the words " Love to God and love to men ; " for had not Christ told us " Thou shalt love the Lortl thy God with all thy heart , and thy neighbour as thyself . " They were no longer working Masons , but hail learned lessons from the ancient guild which they now applied to morals
oaly , and so became Free and Accepted or Speculative Masons , separate and apart from the outside worltl who are not Freemasons . Those who are outside frequently said , what is the use of these foolish practices at the present time ? antl assertetl that Freemasonry had had its day , and was dying out . Those who disliked the Craft did so on what they called religious grounds—they said that it is
wicked . Freemasons lay under the ban of the Pope , and a colonial bishop also condemned them . He ( the speaker ) could only say tint he felt sure that those who held bad opinions of Freemasonry would , if they had an opportunity of judging it fairly , find that they had formed a very
erroneous opinion of the Order . But the assertion that Masonry had had its day , and was dying out , was very easily disposed of , for an institution that steadily increased year by year could not be saitl to have had its day . Bro . Scott stated that the Brunswick Lodge was the first lodge in Sussex that was consecrated after the revival of the
Provincial Grand Lodge of Sussex , and that the ceremony was performed by Bro . Hervey , who , he was sorry to learn , was prevented by the state of his health from being present on this occasion . The Brunswick Lodge had proved itself worthy of its noble emblem , for the Star of Brunswick had become a fixed star . The number of the Brunswick Lodge was 732 , and the number of the lodge they were assembled
to consecrate was 1821 , making an increase of 1089 lodges in less than twenty-one years ; they need , therefore , have no fear that the sun of Masonry is waning , but confidently look forward to go down to succeeding generations , not only undimmed but undiminished in usefulness . That it is childish to belong to Freemasonry he said was one of those specious arguments which could be
applied to anything . If they were all perfect there would be no need for Freemasonry , but , unfortunately , they were but weak , erring human creatures , who required guidance , training , and discipline , and , therefore , according to their destinies , they must labour after better and truer lives , in doing which Freemasonry would enable them to become what they desired to be ; for ,
notwithstanding the backsliding of its members , there was still that living spirit in Freemasonry which did awaken the higher aspirations of fallen creatures , and did bind the hearts of men together in a bond of fraternal union . They might , therefore , rejoice in the increase of their lodges , for every lodge was a fresh centre about which to cluster ; where they might all feel called upon to erect a stately , a
superb moral edifice , and by making their own lives beautiful , and doing with their might all that their hands found to do , might raise a fairer structure that had yet been seen by mortal eye , a temple not made with hands , eternal m the heavens . He could not conclude his remarks better than by expressing the hope that this might be the case with the Atlingworth Lodge . The members will be under the guidance of a brother who was an expert Mason , an " bis
who would right well know how to rule and guide lodge . It must be a gratification to Bro . Sabine that he had at length established a lodge at Brighton , and that it happened to be his birthday on which it was consecrate "' He was sure that all would join in wishing Bro . Sabin e many happy returns of the day and prosperity to the Atlingworth Lodg * . The D . P . G . M . then called upon the Secretary to say what steps had been taken with regard to this lodge .

W . chair being occupied by Bro . Joseph Dixon , P . P . S . G . W ., and that of the J . W . by Bro ' J . St . Clair , P . M . 3 8 , 1729 , P . G . J . W . After opening the lodge in the Three Degrees , the Prov .
G . Master stated that he had received a telegram from London , which he was sorry to say would oblige him to leave shortly after g o ' clock , and he regretted that on this account he should be unable to attend the banquet which was to follow these proceedings . The Dep . P . G . AL , Bro . Scott , having assumed the chair , saitl it was customary for the Presiding Officer and the
Chaplain to address the brethren on their assembling together . That day , unfortunately , the P . G . Chaplain was not able to be present , but Bro . Adams had consented to fill his place , and would presently address the brethren on the nature of Freemasonry . He did not know whether Bro . Adams would tell them anything about the oiigin of Freemasonry ; for his part he ( Bro . Scott ) did not know
anything about that . He had practised it according to the rules of Grand Lodge for twenty-six years ; but those who had studied Freemasonry had told him that it was impossible to speak of its origin with certainty . It was believed that ir . ancient times there was a fieeor travelling guild of Freemasons , who were bound together by secret signs , tokens , and words by which they were enabled to
recognise just men and true , and detect cowans and intruders . Thej were told by the late Sir Gilbert Scott that most , if not all , the splendid structures to be found in Europe were built by Freemasons . Besides being wonder , fully skilful in their art , they were men of the greatest purity of life antl had a code of maxims and principles , which , if faithfully carried out , could not fail of producing
a godly , righteous , and sober life . What were the duties they inculcated ? They could be summed up in the words " Love to God and love to men ; " for had not Christ told us " Thou shalt love the Lortl thy God with all thy heart , and thy neighbour as thyself . " They were no longer working Masons , but hail learned lessons from the ancient guild which they now applied to morals
oaly , and so became Free and Accepted or Speculative Masons , separate and apart from the outside worltl who are not Freemasons . Those who are outside frequently said , what is the use of these foolish practices at the present time ? antl assertetl that Freemasonry had had its day , and was dying out . Those who disliked the Craft did so on what they called religious grounds—they said that it is
wicked . Freemasons lay under the ban of the Pope , and a colonial bishop also condemned them . He ( the speaker ) could only say tint he felt sure that those who held bad opinions of Freemasonry would , if they had an opportunity of judging it fairly , find that they had formed a very
erroneous opinion of the Order . But the assertion that Masonry had had its day , and was dying out , was very easily disposed of , for an institution that steadily increased year by year could not be saitl to have had its day . Bro . Scott stated that the Brunswick Lodge was the first lodge in Sussex that was consecrated after the revival of the
Provincial Grand Lodge of Sussex , and that the ceremony was performed by Bro . Hervey , who , he was sorry to learn , was prevented by the state of his health from being present on this occasion . The Brunswick Lodge had proved itself worthy of its noble emblem , for the Star of Brunswick had become a fixed star . The number of the Brunswick Lodge was 732 , and the number of the lodge they were assembled
to consecrate was 1821 , making an increase of 1089 lodges in less than twenty-one years ; they need , therefore , have no fear that the sun of Masonry is waning , but confidently look forward to go down to succeeding generations , not only undimmed but undiminished in usefulness . That it is childish to belong to Freemasonry he said was one of those specious arguments which could be
applied to anything . If they were all perfect there would be no need for Freemasonry , but , unfortunately , they were but weak , erring human creatures , who required guidance , training , and discipline , and , therefore , according to their destinies , they must labour after better and truer lives , in doing which Freemasonry would enable them to become what they desired to be ; for ,
notwithstanding the backsliding of its members , there was still that living spirit in Freemasonry which did awaken the higher aspirations of fallen creatures , and did bind the hearts of men together in a bond of fraternal union . They might , therefore , rejoice in the increase of their lodges , for every lodge was a fresh centre about which to cluster ; where they might all feel called upon to erect a stately , a
superb moral edifice , and by making their own lives beautiful , and doing with their might all that their hands found to do , might raise a fairer structure that had yet been seen by mortal eye , a temple not made with hands , eternal m the heavens . He could not conclude his remarks better than by expressing the hope that this might be the case with the Atlingworth Lodge . The members will be under the guidance of a brother who was an expert Mason , an " bis
who would right well know how to rule and guide lodge . It must be a gratification to Bro . Sabine that he had at length established a lodge at Brighton , and that it happened to be his birthday on which it was consecrate "' He was sure that all would join in wishing Bro . Sabin e many happy returns of the day and prosperity to the Atlingworth Lodg * . The D . P . G . M . then called upon the Secretary to say what steps had been taken with regard to this lodge .
