INSTBUCTION
working the seven sections of the First Lecture , and enrolling the names of many Brethren who joined the Confidence Lodge of Instruction on that occasion . We feel great satisfaction in stating that , although this Lodge has only been in existence twenty months , it can now boast of having upwards of 200 members . The Brethren afterwards sat down to an excellent supper , and cordially cemented the good-fellowship so happily begun .
