M . for the service he had heen to the Craft , and not only passed a high eulogium on his Masonic qualities , but also informed him that honour and preferment were before him in the province of

Devon . Bro . Richard Rodda Avas also highly complimented for his valuable services as Provincial Grand Secretary , and the reward he thus received was but the legitimate wages of an able Mark Master for his meritorious labours . The business having been concluded , the lodge ivas closed in due form . Having a little time to spare we inspected the Huyshe Masouic Temple , of which a description appeared in the FREEJIAS O-N ' S' MAGAZINE during the month of Juland expected to find it something

y , extraordinary to warrant the extravagant remarks that have been made about it . AVe were told that St . Aubyn Lodge at Morice Town , DeA-onport , Avas unique in its way , but now it Avas superseded by this newly finished temple . The latter is certainly a fine hall , and is just the same size as the St . Aubyn , hut without such a spacious ante-room as the latter , and certainly inferior in its furniture and other important Masonic

accompaniments . Tbe chandeliers have a most artistic effect , and light the hall admirably . Unfortunately the building Avas not designed for Masonic purposes , and hence the AA . M ., although professedly in the east , has to occupy his chair in the dark north , and the other officers aro similarly situated as the S . W . in the south , and the J . W . in the west . Now the St . Aubyn Lodge at Devonport has no such faults from the fact

that the whole building was made with due regard to the wants of the Craft and high degrees , and neither time nor expense Avere spared by its promoters—who are known through England and Scotland to ho in the foremost ranks of Masonic historians , enthusiasts , and ritualists—to make it in every sense worthy of our ancient and honourable Institution . However , Bro . Richard Rodda and the Decorative Committee of the Masonic Huyshe

Temple deserves much credit for the great trouble and pains they have taken , and through their exertions , tho last two lodges meeting in hotels in the three towns , have retired from such questionable associations , and joined the St . John ' s Lod"e at the Temple in Princess-street .
