Notes On The Old Minute Books Of The British Union Lodge, No. 114, Ipswich. Ad. 1762.

; n tr a member of this Lodge . One would like to knoAV how Mr . H . had so raised the ire of this Lodge as to ensure his unanimous rejection . The first minute hook of this old Lodge ends in 1779 , Avith a list of the members of the British Union if it

which would have been interesting were complete , but unfortunately half the sheet containing the names is torn out , and as a large number of the pages are maltreated in the same Avay , it is possible thatmany important minutes are irrecoverably lost . ( To be continued . )

An Original Toast,

AN ORIGINAL TOAST ,

After talcing degree M . M ., Oct . 14 tJt , 1875 Worship ful Master , Officers ancl Brethren , see—This night I'm dubb'd a Mason , a Master Mason " free ;"

And be my future lot progressive , to rise or fall ? I'll ne ' er abuse your confidence—not e ' en one Black Ball ! A worthy Mason may I live , Prepared to do , to spend or give ! A Brother to all Brethren I , A true ancl faithful Mason die !

I ' ve learnt by SIOAV degrees both privilege and duty ! Masonic signs abound ( as stars they sky ) in beauty . Each Avord , securely lock'd within this ivory casket ,

To none will I reveal , though Prince and Priest should ask it ! Brethren raise the standard higher ! Each soul kindled Avith living fire . " Onward , upAvard , Heavetrward , " can Be the motto of every man

Who says our Craft is pithless , its glory fading fast 1 With Prince ancl Rulers at the Helm 'tis not ' th serf can blast ! Who number can the roll o' names that our ancient clan

grace , Or what stranger knoAV how man can serve his brother man ? Men of science , men of poAver Mingle in the Masonic bower ' ,

An Original Toast,

Prince and subject brethren be Of mature age , sound judgment , free ! Our glorious Prince ancl Brother , England ' s prospective King , Will find on Indian sands the true Masonic ring 1

Receiving the " grip" Avith glee from princely subjects there , Ancl as " Grand Master" pledge a Masonic brother ' s care ! In every country , every clime , Masons abound with deeds sublime I E ' en now in " Arctic Regions" search , On the North Pole to find a Perch !

THE TOAST . With cup aloft I pledge you and each Avorthy brother . ' Your goblets charge , and let us drink to one anothar , This soundeth strange , yet still I deem , 'tis

an emblem true , Of Masonic light and love , alive in each of you ! Then worthy Masons may we live , Prepared to do , to spend , or give ! And "Lodge BridgeAvater , tAvelve thirteen , " To us e'er be of mothers Queen ! JOHN WILLIS .
