" The health of the presiding Master , Bro . Thomas Adams , " was proposed in a neat speech by Bro . Joseph Smith , who warmly eulogized the many Masonic and private virtues of that excellent Brother , whom he had had the privilege to initiate into the Order , and who was not only entirely master of all the ceremonies of Craft Masonry and of the fifteen sections , but of every portion of the Royal Arch . Bro , Adams was not one of those who thought it too much trouble to impart instruction to all who required it , there not being a Lodge of Instruction from east to west of the metropolis , or between north and south , that he did not

attend , or a Brother within that circle who had not received instruction from him , either in the Lodge or in private . He could not close his remarks without expressing his admiration for the many Masonic and personal qualifications of their respected Bro . Aldrich , W . M ., of the Mother Lodge , No . 496 , and Hon . Sec . of their Lodge of Instruction . He not only spoke his own sentiments but those of a numerous body of the Masonic world . Ilis correct knowledge of the several Degrees , and the impressive way in which he performed all the ceremonies , were universally known and appreciated . There were not two more efficient Brethren in the Graft than Bros . Adams and Aldrich . He , therefore ,

called upon the Brethren to respond to the toast in a truly Masonic manner . The W . M ., in returning thanks , said that from the bottom of his heart he thanked Bro . Smith for the kind way in which he had introduced his name to the notice of the Brethren , and the Brethren for the cordial and hearty manner in . which they had received it , which , believe him , he should never cease to remember with gratitude . It was true that Bro . Smith had initiated him into

the excellent principles of the Order , of all the duties of which , he would state , and trusted he should not be deemed egotistical , he was entirely master—from the initiation to every degree in the Royal Arch , it was a pleasure to him—and ho did so almost daily—to afford instruction to Brethren at his own house . He did not care where a Lodge of Instruction was established , it was his greatest pride to be present and to render assistance when called upon to do so ; and to every VOL . 11 . y T
