restored between the two banners , and that the line of demarcation drawn by some members relative to a Scotch iind an English Mason w-as utterly absurd , as there ivas no such thing , but that they ivere all of one body , sprung from the same source , and all bound to do the same thing for the good of the Order in general , and as a proof that a true brotherly feeling now existed , he mentioned the presence of the Master , officers , and members of Lodgo Concord , and then proposed the health
of Bro . T . Diver , his officers , and the members under him . — Bro .

members under the English banner , they were always happy to be able to stretch out the right hand of fellowship to all willing to partake of the hospitality , and recommended to them generally to visit the Lodges of St . George , Truth , and Concord , as often as they pleased , assuring them of a welcome and hearty reception . —Bro . CA _ again rose , and now dwelt
upon the services of tAvo very old and staunch members , who were high in the Craft , and who , he assured the brethren , had ivorked for Jlasonry and its cause , but especially for Lodge Rising Star ,- and that through their influential positions aid extensive stock of Masonic knowledge , they were found to be very valuable friends , to this lodge in particular ; and that whenever sound and politic advice was needed , it was sure to be found in Bros .

proposed , which ivas drunk in true Masonic style , accompanied by the " Jolly good fellow " chorus . —Bro . AVICKHAH rose and spoke on behalf of himself and Bro .
