about six years since . It amounted to nearly seven hundred pounds ; he believed that no other Lodge in the Craft could boast of such a benevolent fund . Yet , although ( continued Bro . Canstatt ) this appears a large amount , it does not follow that we should relax our exertions for its continued prosperity . The chairman , in proposing "The Visitors" ( Bros . Davin , W . M . No . 218 ; M . Harris , S . w ! No . 218 ; and G-. F . Taylor , No . 201 ) , mentioned the fact , that the Brothers of the Tranquillity were offshoots from the Joppa , this being the Mother Lodge , from
which emanated the strength of the Tranquillity , the child being now as strong as the parent . He ( the W . M . ) was glad that such a recipocrity of feeling existed between the two Lodges . Bro . Davis acknowledged the toast , and said that the Lodges of Joppa and Tranquillity might almost be said to be one vast Lod ' ge , merely divided into sections , for the interchange of kindly feeling between the xnembers of these Lodges was well known . Bro . Lyon proposed the better health of Bro . David Moses , who had been prevented from being amongst them latterly ,
