Presentation To Bro. W. J. Watson, P.P.S.G. Warden North And East Yorkshire.

In responding , Bro . Watson thanked the brethren very cordially for this mark of their kindness to him and referred feelingly to the great affection Avhich has existed for a great number of years betAveen himself and the members of the lodge . He could assure the brethren that Avhatever he had done had not been at all with any view to obtaining

recognition either from them or the Provincial Grand Master , but because he had a whole-hearted interest and liking for the Craft ; at the same time , it Avas undoubtedly most pleasing to himself that he should be signalized for such spontaneous kindness on their part , and he could assure the brethren that

whatever he had done in the past he Avould endeavour to do in the future and thus merit the confidence Avhich was placed in him . It had been , to a large extent , a pleasureable hobby , and he exhorted the younger members of the lodge to look upon it in the same light and devote a considerable part of their time to furthering the interests of the Craft . He could

assure them there Avas plenty of excellent work for them to perform if once their enthusiasm AA * as aroused and they would take the trouble to follow out the tenets of Masonry . He thanked Bro . Sadler for finding time in his multifarious Parliamentary and other duties to come amongst them and make the presentation , as they Avere such old personal

friends , and both initiated in the same lodge . After the business of the lodge had been concluded , the brethren dined together , Avhen the usual loyal and Masonic toasts AY ere honoured .
