being gone through separately with each candidate , and without the least hurry . After this the Grand Chancellor delivered a most interesting lecture on the Christian Degrees , showing , in a very masterly manner , the antiquity of the Order , and deservedly received a ^ vote of thanks from the Encampment . Other necessary business was then proceeded with , such as passing Bye-Laws , proposing new candidates , after which the Sir Knights assembled round the festive board , when the usual loyal and Masonic toasts were given , and among others that of the
Grand Chancellor , who in returning thanks paid a high compliment to the infant Encampment , and expressed his highest approval of all the regalia being strictly in accordance with the Statutes of the Order . He also complimented the E . C . and the Officers of the Encampment on the regular manner in which they had performed their respective duties . Several other Companions are , we hear , candidates for installation , and we cordially wish prosperity to the Encampment of Temple Cressiny .
