Brethren of one whose chief delight in this world was Masonry , and who was ever careful to maintain in their fullest splendour those truly Masonic ornaments , Benevolence and Charity . His character may be summed up in a word . He was a worthy and excellent Mason , and consequently a good and worthy man ; and now that he is summoned from this sublunary abode , we , with holy confidence , believe that he is gone " to that Grand Lodge above , where the world's Great Architect lives and reigns for ever .

Bro . Hastie was born in the year 1792 , in Gauze-street , Paisley , in a house opposite to the Abercorn-buildings .
