his absence in America , had been unable to be present for installation that evening . The E . Preceptor expressed confidence that the good work of the King Edward VII . Preceptory would be continued under the command of so eminent and enthusiastic

a knight . The I . P . P ., the V . E . Knight Imre Kiralfy , proposed the toast of "The Eminent Preceptor , R . Clay Sudlow , " and paid a well deserved tribute to the enthusiasm and devotion he had thrown into the work of the preceptory during his

highly successful year of office , and also to his invaluable work in the Preceptory of Improvement . In replying , the Eminent Preceptor said : — " I not onlv desire to thank you for the cordial way in which you have received the toast of my health , proposed in such generous

terms by our illustrious Bro . Kiralfy , but I particularly desire to add the expression of my appreciation of vour goodness in presenting me with the beautiful jewel I am now privileged to wear as your Past Eminent Preceptor . You all know that I am but young in the Order of the Temple , but on the

occasion of my first appearing in Great Priory , I noticed that some of the eminent knights present were distinguished by a special and a very artistic jewel , and I confess I was immediately fired with the ambition one day to possess it . That ambition , by your kindness , is to-day satislied , and

since I have so far taken you into my confidence , I am sure no further words of mine are necessary to assure you of the pleasure you have given me in this presentation . I saw , of course , on the occasion I have referred to , other orders and distinctions , but as I consider that for me they are

unattainable , I do not allow my memory to dwell upon them . To-night , brethren , is quite an important one in my Masonic career , inasmuch as , so far as I can see , it is the last time that I shall occupy the position of head of a Masonic body . Bearing this in mind , I was naturally anxious that the year

of my government of King Edward VII . Preceptory should be not only successful , speaking generally in the interests of the preceptory , but agreeable to all the members , and I am deeply grateful to the Eminent Knight Kiralfy for the

BUO . l'AL . MKIi-THO . MASj , K . T . expressions he has used in connection with my year of office , and to each and all of you for the cordial support you have given me during that period . " The toast of " The new Companions in Arms " was given
