The Mmonic Mi Rio E.
Lodge of Stabilit y ( No . 264 ) . — The twenty-first anniversary meeting was held at Radley ' s Hotel , ^ ew Bridge-street , Blackfriars , on Friday , the 30 th of April . The Lodge was opened by the Preceptor , Bro . H . Muggeridge ; as W . M . ' ; John Boughey , as S . W . ; S . G . Myers , as J . W . The lecture of the 1 st Degree was worked in sections by the following Brethren , viz . : —Sect . 1 st , Bro . Robert
Farran , S . W . No . 22 ; 2 nd , Alfred Pratt , J . D . No . 22 ; 3 rd , John Dixon , S . D . No . 87 ; 4 th , John Boughey , S . D . No . 22 ; 5 th and 6 th ( Lodge Board ) , Henry Muggeridge , P . M . No . 227 ; and 7 th , Samuel G . Myers , J . W . No . 1 , 017 . The lecture was worked most admirably , each Brother being perfect in his duty ; and richly deserved the praise that was afterwards awarded . The portion illustrating the Tracing-boa . rd was a subject of considerable interest to numerous Brethren who had never before been present at those interesting section
At the close of the lecture , Bro . John Havers , P . S . G . D ., the president of this Lodge of Instruction took ; the chair , and announced a proposal to distribute from the surplus funds the sum of twenty guineas , in a contribution of five guineas each to the following charities viz .: — -the Girls and Boys School , the Male Annuity , and the Widows Jurid , which were accordingly voted . Bro . Havers said it must be most gratifying to the members that with such a small annual subscription , this Lodge of Instruction was enabled to contribute so handsomely to these admirable charitable institutions .
The R , W . Bro . S . J . Hammond , Prov . G . M . for Jersey , rose and proposed a vote of thanks to the Preceptor of the Lodge , Bro . Muggeridge , for the very praiseworthy manner in which the lecture had been delivered ; and Bro . Myers , J ; W ., in seconding that resolution , said that it was to Bro . Muggeridge ' s untiring energy and attention the perfection of those who had taken part in the lecture must be attributed . It was through Lodges like the Stability Lodge of Inst
ruction , that Masonry had been brought to such a degree of perfection ; a considerable portion of the ceremonials of the institution would be obscure but for the elucidation they received from the lectures . Bro . Muggeridge ' s fame was too widely spread to require a word of praise from him ( Bro . Myers ) , but being deeply indebted to Bro . Muggeridge for much valuable instruction , he most cordially seconded the motion of the B . W . Brother . The motion , on being put from the chair , was carried by acclamation .
Bro . Roxburgh , the newly appointed G . Reg ., in a few words of commendation proposed a vote of thanks to the Brethren who had so ably assisted in working the lecture . Where all were so equally en titled to praise , it was impossible to particularize any individual ; he , therefore , moved the thanks of all present should be given to Bros . Boughey , Dixon , Parran , Myers , and Pratt . Bro . John Savage said he felt great pleasure in seconding the motion of the G . Reg ., having been highly gratified at the working of the evening . He had
for many years attended these meetings , but he never at any time had witnessed the lectures better worked . This Lodge of Instruction had at its head in Bros . Havers and Muggeridge two worthy and able Masons who had devoted much of their time and attention in bringing the work to that state of perfection it had reached ; he hoped many Brethren , if not all , would follow in their footsteps . It was by diligent practice alone that such complete knowledge of the principles of Masonry could be arrived at . They must all bear in mind the precept of the wisest man , " With all thy wisdom get understanding . *'
The motion was put and carried ; and Bro . Havers said that the oldest members of the Stabile Lodge of Instruction would be glad to receive the names of any Brethren who desire to become members . Some fifty names were proposed and admitted * The Lodge was then duly closed . The room was crowded , there could not be much fewer than 150 Brethren present at the lecture .
The Brethren then assembled at the banquet , and the ball room of the hotel not being able to accommodate the whole , several Brethren were compelled to take their repast in two other rooms . Bro . J . Havers , P . G . S . D ., presided ; on his right were the R . W . Bros . Hammond , Prov . G . M . for Jersey ; the Rev . A . Ward , G . Chaplain ; W . Gray Clarke , G . Sec . ; P . Roxburgh , G . Reg , ; W . Pultney Scott , S . G . D , ; R , W . Jennings , G , Dir . of Cers , ; J . L . Evans , P . G . S , B .: A . A , Le Yeau ,
