Indeed to him the success and prosperity of the Lodge was in a great measure due . Bro . Biggs said , he could not but feel very grateful at this mark of regard on the part of the Yarborough Lodge . He certainly was an active promoter of its formation , and
attended at its consecration , and had perhaps been of some service since ; but the members well knew they were chiefly indebted to Bro . Thomas Yesper , who , in spite of many difficulties and obstructions , w as successful at last in obtaining the warrant . Formerly there were in the east of London some Lodges , such as the Old Dundee and the St . Andrew ' s , for the mercantile navy ; and the removal of these Lodges westward created a want of one , at least , which should supply their place . Bro . Yesper saw the need and worked so vigorously that , having achieved the formation of the Lodge , lie had been successful in obtaining members ,
so that No . 812 was now one of the most extensive in the Order . He ( Bro . Biggs ) was sure that the members would receive a word of advice kindly ; it was his sincere wish and recommendation that they should watch carefully whom they introduced . In fact , the test should be , whether the candidate was one a Brother would , without doubt or hesitation , receive into his own family ; by such care the Yarborough might be a pattern to all Lodges , and its high repute be handed down to future generations . ( Much cheering followed the worthy Brother ' s
observation . ) Bro . Biggs then proposed " The Health of the real Founder of the Lodge , Bro . Thomas Yesper , " a toast which was received with the utmost enthusiasm . Bro . Vesper acknowledged the kind greeting , and proposed his successor in the Secretaryship , Bro . Purdy , a Mason of thirty dour years' standing . The health of the chaplain , the Be v . Bro . Shaboe , followed , who , in responding , said he hoped long to remain a member and to continue in the enjoyment of the goodwill of the Lodge .
