Grand Stewards Lodge . —The last public night of the year 1857 was held on the 16 th December , under the presidency of the W . M ., Bro . Johnstone , when the 2 nd and 3 rd Lectures w ere worked by Bros . Elwood , Grosjean , Warren , and Watson , the two last undertaking three sections each . The visitors w ere more select than numerous .
Eoyal York Lodge of Perseverance ( No . 7 ) . —The reports of the proceedings of Masonic Lodges are necessarily so much matters of routine , that the greatest difficulty is experienced in our attempts so to vary the terms as to render them more interesting than we fear they sometimes prove . We need hardly say , therefore , how pleasing it is when we have it in our power to place on record any occurrence of interest , and more especially so w hen it is of such a kind as to prove the readiness of our Brethren in appreciating and rewarding those whose services have contributed to the efficiency of the body with which they are connected . Any incident of this sort , however unimportant in itself , becomes of consequence if viewed only as an
incentive to the younger members of our Order to emulate the example which has led to such results . The circumstance which has led to these remarks took place at the last meeting of this Lodge , which was held at the Freemasons' Tavern , on Wednesday , 16 th Dec , which was numerously attended . The regular business comprised two raisings , the ceremonies attendant upon which it is superfluous to observe were most correctly performed by the W . M ., Bro . Isidore Levinson , assisted by his most able staff of Officers . Then followed the election of W . M . and Treasurer for the year ensuing . Bro . Collins , S . W . ( whose unavoidable
absence was a source of regret to all ) , was unanimously elected W . M . ; and Bro . Harrison , P . M ., re-elected as Treasurer . The report of the Permanent Committee with reference to some alterations in the By-laws was adopted . Bro . Hervey , P . G . S . D . and P . M ., mindful alike of the honour of the Lodge , of which he may almost be regarded as the vivifying principle , and of the interests of the charity , of which he is certainly the most unwearying guardian , then made an appeal on behalf of the Royal Masonic Boys' School , which was immediately responded to by Bro . Jenkins , J . W ., who volunteered his services as Steward for
the festival in March next . It should be stated , that Bro . Jenkins has already represented this Lodge as Steward for the Girls' School ; thus early evincing how thoroughly he is actuated by real Masonic feeling . Bro . Adlard , P . M . and Dir . of Cer ., communicated the painful intelligence that the Lodge was about to lose the valuable services of its Secretary , Bro . Wilkinson , who was on the point of entering on a new career in the East . Ho bore willing testimony to the zeal and ability with which the duties of his office had been discharged by Bro . Wilkinson , and felt sure that the Brethren would agree with the proposition he was about to make .
They would not , he knew , wish to part with their Brother without rendering some acknowledgment to one to whom they were so much indebted . He therefore proposed that a jewel , of the value of £ o . 5 s ., be presented by the Lodge to Bro . Wilkinson . Bro . Hop wood , P . M ., father of the Lodge , seconded this proposition , corroborating all that had fallen from the previous speaker ; and the W . M . supporting , it was carried unanimously . Bro . Wilkinson , in very feeling and appropriate terms , thanked the Brethren for this mark of their esteem and regard . Ilia aim had over been to discharge his duties faithfully , and nothing could be a greater reward to him , than to find he had acquitted himself to their
