now about to bring to their notice was one which would be received by them with the greatest cordiality ; it was no less than the health of the R . W . P . Grand Superintendent for Worcestershire , Comp . H . C . Vernon . It was always a pleasure to see him among them , and he was quite sure that all present felt deeply the honour he had conferred upon them in coming to consecrate the Royal Standard Chapter , at considerable inconvenience to himself .
The usual honours having been given with much enthusiasm , the R . W . P . G . Superintendent rose and said : — " Companions— -It has given me very great pleasure in being with you this day ; I am always ready and delighted to promote the interests of Masonry in my Province , and I trust the Chapter which I have this day consecrated may prosper and flourish . I regret that my Bro . Col . Vernon , R . W . P . G . M . for Staffordshire , was unable to accompany me here ; he is a good man and a most excellent Mason : I therefore give you the Health of the
R . W . G . P . M . of Staffordshire , Col . Vernon . " The usual honours having been given , the R . W . P . G . S . H . C . Vernon , Esq ., said , that he wished to bring before their notice the name of one who he knew was highly esteemed among them ; he himself had known him for some years , and had always found him a good , hard-working Mason ; he begged to propose the ^ health of their M . E . Z . Comp . Masefield .
Comp . Masefield , in returning thanks , expressed his sense of the cordial manner with which his name had been mentioned and received , and assured the Companions that while he occupied the high and proud position in which he had that day been placed , he would do his best to promote the interests of the Chapter . The M . E . Z . then gave the health of the visiting Brethren , Comps . Burton , James , T . James , and Newsam . He was delighted to see them there that day ;
he trusted that they would frequently visit No . 730 Chapter , and if they did , they might make sure of a hearty welcome . Comp . Burton returned thanks for himself and the visiting Companions , in a short but able speech , Comp . Burton , M . D ., P . Z ., of St . Matthew ' s , Walsall , having obtained permission to propose the next toast , said , —He had experienced very great pleasure in being present on that interesting occasion ; he had been much pleased at the effective manner in which the ceremonies had been worked . He therefore gave
the health of Comps . H . and J . and the other officers , and while doing so , could not but mention how very well the Comp . P . S . had done his work that day . The duties of the P . S . were arduous , and always appeared somewhat of a task to those who performed them ; but he had never yet met with a P . S . to whom they appeared less of a task than to Comp . A . G . Davies ; in fact , he could not have done it better had he been born a P . S .
Comp . Rev . A . G . Davies , P . S ., in returning thanks for his brother-officers and himself , said , —He was much gratified at the way in which their names had been brought before the Companions ; he believed that no Chapter would ever prosper unless it was a good working Chapter ; he was sure his fellow-officers would unite with him in efficiently discharging the duties which devolved upon them , and hoped that the principles of Masonry , as set forth in the R . A . Degree , might ever grow with 730 Chapter ' s growth , and strengthen with its strength . Comp . J . having returned thanks for the Second Principal and himself , the R . W . P . G . S . then retired , and the Companions spent a pleasant evening , breaking up at an early hour .
