D . P . G . M ., and the visiting brethren were thanked for their presence , and the lodge was then closed in due form . At a later hour the brethren partook of an excellent banquet at the Queen ' s Hotel , under the presidency of the newly installed W . M ., Bro . Chapman . After dinner the
usual loyal and Masonic toasts followed . The health ofthe Prov . G . M . was most cordially drunk and the welcome with which lie was always greeted amongst Masons in the province made the arduous office which he held a pleasure rather than a burthen to him . It certainly was a very
laborious office , and in another week he should have to do that which , of all the duties he had to perform , was the most burdensome , viz ., to appoint the officers for the Prov . Grand Lodge . But in this task he was ably assisted by the D . P . G . M . and others , and in all thc appointments
that he made he did his best to be thoroughly and strictly impartial —( hear , hear ) . But the brethren must recollect that while there were 44 lodges in the province , there w ere only eleven or twelve offices to be filled , and if they bore this in mind they would readily appreciate the
extreme difficulty of the task which he had to perform . He could only say that the few honours which were at his disposal he always considered it his duty to give to those who worked hard and deserved them —( applause ) . Bro . Metham , D . P . G . M ., briefly responded to the toast of his
health , which was warmly received , and the Prov . Grand Master , in proposing the next toast said he attended Jordan Lodge that day with more than usual pleasure . He liked to see the Master of a Iodge remember the solemn duties whicli he had to perform , and he liked to see
those duties done as they ought to be done . He had seen that done to-day by their excellent I . P . M ., Bro . Perry , who certainly performed the somewhat difficulty ceremony of installation in a way whicli he did not find excelled in any of the lodges of the country . Certainly he did not
expect to see it done so well in a lodge so young as the Jordan Lodge , and he congratulated the brethren on having had such a Alaster during the past year . He also congratulated them on the excellent selection of W . M . for the ensuing year , which thev had that day made , because one
who had received such tuicion and such education as had been given by the worthy brother who had just vacated the chair could not fail to fill the office with satisfaction to all concerned . Although the Jordan Lodge was so young , it had already shown itself to be a lodge conducted upon
true aud faithful Masonic principles . It had endeavoured to do its duty without allowing itself to be carried away by a wish to largely increase its numbers , irrespective of the quality of those who were introduced into the lodge , and he wished to impress upon all Masons that they
should not seek to get anyone and everyone into their lodges . For himself , he should be exceedingly glad if the Grand Lodge would double the entrance feej they would then have a verv different class of men in the Order . It was really a bad principle to look simply to the filling of
their books with numbers . If a man put a bad stone into a building it was by no means an easy thing to take it out again . But it must come out unless they wished to mar the beauty of the whole building , and how was the mistake to be remedied ? Why , by never letting the stone go
in —( hear , hear , and applause ) . Never let them put an evil stone into a building , and then they would raise and erect a temple fit and proper for habitation —( hear , hear ) . This was why they had raised their fee above that of every other lodge in the province , and he congratulated llu-m

terms , the health of the W . M . —( applause *) . The W . M ., in returning thanks , said that the sole object which they had in view in starting the Jordan Lodge , was that of raising the standard of Freemasanry , and so far , he was happy to say , their efforts had been crowned with success
In the formation of a second lodge , it was quite natural that there would be opposition , and especially as the new lodge started with the intention of admitting a better element than the candidates indicated in the old one . In dealing with that opposition , in a true Masonic spirit , he
was pleased to hnd that the exercise of that spirit had contributed towards the ultimate success of the undertaking , and now at the . first anniversary of the lodge , they were honoured by the patronage of the most distinguished Masons in the nrovince . He ( ihe W . M . ) wished to express
the indebtedness of the lodge to the wise counsels and constant support of their R . W . Provincial Grand Master , who was an honorary member of the lodge , and had ever shown himself read y to second thtir efforts . After acknowledging the complimentary terms tendered by the Provincial
Grand Master in proposing the toast , he ( the W . M . ) proceeded to give "The Health of the Immediate Past Master , " who had acquitted himself so creditably during his year of office , and who had at its close so satisfactorily conducted the installation of his successor . The I . P . M .,
Bro . T . Perry , repled briefly , and in terms that manifested deep attachment to the lodge , and expressed his indebtedness to the W . M . for the manner he had proposed his health , and hoped that the future of the lodge would fully realize the anticipations of its founders . Thc W . M .

intimated that as far as he was able he should try to get St . John ' s Lodge to reciprocate the sentiments so kindly tendered . W . Bro . T . Perry then gave " The Health of the Visitors , " whicli was responded to b y Bros . P . D . Michelmore , W . M . No . 1238 ; R . H . Rae , P . G . S . D ., Hon .

lodge should be to endeavour to secure this very desirable object . He was very glad that the lodge had by its bye laws strictly prohibited any refreshments at the meetings of the lodge , and trusted that the true principles of the Order
would be faithfully carried out in the every-day life of the members . The Tyler ' s toast , given by Bro . C . Johns , in terms that indicated the spirit of Freemasonry , brought the meeting to a close .
