KNIGHTS TEMPLAR .
DEVONSHIRE . PlHTOUTir . — Loyal Drunswiek Encampment . — The regular quarterly convocation of the Sir Kni ghts of this encampment met at the usual place of meeting , the Masonic Chapter Room , St . George's Hall , East Stonehouse , on Thursday , the 27 th ult ., an unusually large number of Sir Knights being present . A gentleman of Tavistocka member of the Bedford
, Chapter of Royal Arch Masons , was balloted for and accepted , and being introduced , was installed a Knight of the Illustrious Order of Masonic Knights Templar , the ceremony being very efficiently and impressively performed by P . E . C . Rodda , P . G . A . and Prov . G . Chancellor . The newly-installed Sir Knt . having taken his place , the Eminent Sir Knt . Rodda said : We naturally rejoice at the welfare of our friend , because we thence derive a
real pleasure . Wo also congratulate our protectors or equals that we may not fall under tho suspicion of ingratitude or jealousy , but when any fresh honour or new dignity falls to the lot of one who , by his intimate and close connection with you , his uniform kindness and gracious beneficence , has led you to love and revere him in more than an ordinary degree , it is extremely gratifying to the feelingsand one is led to hail such
, an event with joy and delight . Such , eminent sir , is our position on this occasion . Since we last met it has pleased the Most Eminent and Supreme Grand Master to appoint the distinguished chief of this Province of Devon and Cornwall , the Rev . John Huyshe , M . A ., to the very highest office in his power to bestow , namely , to that of the Very High and Eminent Deputy Grand Master of the Order . I am sure you will learn
this with great joy and satisfaction , not only because the Very High and Eminent Sir Knt . — a contributing member of this encampment—so richly deserved the preference , but also because the Grand Master has exercised so equitable a judgment May the Great Captain of our Salvation shower down His choicest blessings on the appointment , and preserve the health of our illustrious brother for many years to discharge the duties of his exalted rankwith the same fidelityveracityand
single-, , mindedness that has so conspicuously marked his brilliant and untarnished Masonic career . Tho Eminent Sir Knt . Rodda concluded a very nice address by proposing the following resolution , which was seconded ^ by P . E . C . Rodd , and carried nem . con ., with great applause : —Resolved . That the Sir Knts . of this encampment have learned with the greatest satisfaction the honour which the Most Eminent and Supreme Grand Master
has been graciously pleased to confer upon the Very Eminent Grand Commander of this Province , the Rev . John Huyshe , M . A ., namely , that of tho distinguished appointment to the office of the Very High and Eminent Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Conclave of England and Wales and tbe Colonial Dependencies of the British Crown ; and that the Registrar be requested forthwith to transmit to the Very High and Eminent
Sir Knt . their congratulations on the auspicious event , expressing their opinion that , great as is the honour to have pre-eminently won and deserved the new dignity to which he has been promoted , it does not reflect less honour on the Illustrious Knight the Most Eminent and Supreme Grand Master in having so justly made a distinction of his superior merits .
