CUMBEBLAND . Penrith . —Lodge of Unanimity ( No . 424 ) . —A degree of prosperity unprecedented during any similar period of its previous history has for the last few years been the good fortune of the above Lodge . Up to the year 1847 its members metas a handful of proscribed revolutionists might do—in an obscure room : funds it had none , and members few ; and , in sooth , to say the least , its prospects were as gloomy as they well could he . The adage , " when at the worst things mend , " has been verified in the history of this particular Lodge . About the time alluded to ,
a Brother from the south , who had taken up his residence in Penrith , joined the Lodge , and his first suggestion was that the management of the affairs of No . 424 bught to be in accordance with Masonic Law , as laid down in the Book of Constitutions . The Book of Constitutions , which had been bought when first issued , but laid on the shelf , a dead letter , its leaves being still uncut , was at once installed as the code , from the decisions of which there was no appeal . In 1848 , Bro . Jos . Wickham , a clever , zealous , and indefatigable Mason , was chosen W . M ., and Bro . W . P . Greaves , now Dep . Prov . G . M . of Cumberland , was appointed Sec . and Treas . Under the auspices of these two Brethren , the former possessing
a rich fund of Masonic lore , and the latter being a chancellor of the exchequer par excellence the drooping Lodge began to show fresh symptoms of life . For ten years previously not a solitary individual had presented himself at the door of the Lodge as a candidate for our Masonic mysteries , but in 1848 Bro . Wickham had the honour of initiating three candidates ; and from the night on which Bro . Wickham initiated his first candidate , the history of the Lodge has been marked by an unbroken succession of auspicious circumstances .
