this memorial , on having completed your fiftieth year as a regular subscribing member of the Craft , as a token of the esteem and affection we entertain towards you for your high integrity as a man , and for your unswerving attachment by Freemasonry , through good and evil report , during the whole of that period . Dated this 14 th day of June A . D . 1851 . " Signed by every member of the lodge ,
Bro . SIIAAV then addressed our venerable Brother and said " I congratulate to you on your having completed half a century as a member of our ancient and honourable institution . During the whole of that time you have taken an active part in the labours of every degree ; you have witnessed the vicissitudes that have befallen the lodge , ivhich lias had the honour of numbering you amongst its members , sometimes sailing gaily along on the tide of prosperityand at other times contending with adverse
circum-, stances , yet in storm or hi sunshine you have ever manifested a steady and undeviating attachment to your lodge , and a consistent adherence to those excellent laws and precepts inculcated hy our Order . When you look on that testimonial let it remind you of the high estimation in ivhich you are so deservedly held , not only by your brethren of this lodge , but throughout the Province of West Yorkshire , and let it be an assurance to you of their l * vo and regard for one whom they look up to with veneration as their
father in Freemasonry . Although you have passed that age assigned to man by the Holy records , I pray the G . A . 0 . T . U . that you may for many years be spared to aid us by your valuable counsel in lodge and to continue an ornament and aquisition to our festive board by your filial good nature and your kind disposition , and when it shall please the Grand Master of all to summon you away , may you mahe one of the Grand Lodge above in eternal felicity .- —Bro . Ben . TAYLOR P . Prov . G . J . AV . ofthe Lodge of Harmony ( Xo . 3-1-2 ) expressed the gratification ho experienced at being present on this interesting
occasion ; he adverted to the time , upwards of 40 years ago , lA-hen he was Master of the Huddersfield Lodge , and vouched for the high esteem in which Bro . Hainsworth was at that time held , and that esteem had , year after year , been increasing , as the brethren have marked the truly Masonic course in which he had walked through life , making him an ornament to that Society of which he fifty years ago became a member . —Bro . BiiOUGniOJf also bore testimony to the important services Bro . Hainsworth had rendered
the Craft . Above forty-five years since the old lodge was in a dormant state and it was only by the exertions of his old friend and a few other kindred spirits that it was resusciated . After his own initiation it was three years before he could be raised , owing to their being unable to form a perfect lodge . That showed the state Masonry was in 45 years ago ; this he contrasted with its present prosperous condition .- —Bro . A \ illiam SAIITII P . Prov . G . S . D . and other brethren then expressed to Bro . Hainsworth the obligation
they were under for his instruction , both in lectures and ceremonies . —Bro . ILvns'S WORTH , in accepting the valuable and beautiful testimonial , spoke of his gratification at the respect and kindness evinced to him to day and for many years back . He then reverted to the past history of the lodge at some length , and , in a most touching and interesting manner , spoke of his long connection with it . He again thanked the brethren for their present which he most hihly should valueand concluded b iving them some excellent
g , y g advice to act up to the principles laid down by the Craft . —Bro . Hirst S . D . then presented each brother present with a full length photographic portrait of the guest of the evening , ( taken by Bro . J . T . Wigncy ) , as a memorial of this evening ' s proceedings . This gift was acknowledged in an eminently characteristic speech by Bro . Jas . Hall P . M . The lodge was then closed in due form , after which the members and visiting brethren passed a harmonious and agreeable evening , one long to be remembered .

, , p , 251 . ) The AV . Bro . John Spiking , stated that the brethren of his lodge had resolved to commemorate the Festival of St . John the Baptist in the grounds ofthe Rev . H . Ton- Thornhill , which had been kindly granted for the occasion , on Thursday , the 20 th inst ., and it was desired that the St . John's Lodge should be invited to join them , ivhich was readily accorded with by the brethen . After which Mr .
Provincial.
William Richardson was ballotted for and found worthy , and initiated accordingly in that efficient style which characterizes the AV . M . of this lodge ; after which Bro . John Armitage , Sec , gave the Lecture on the Tracing Board , this being the business named in the summons , the lodge was closed in peace and harmony . The whole of the brethen , along with the visitors , then adjourned to the festive board , which was presided over by AV . M . The usual loyal and Masonic toasts were given and responded to in an appropriate
manner . We doubt not , ere long , this young and flourishing lodge , under the able and efficient guidance of its present Worshipful Master , will be , so far as its working is concerned , inferior to none in the province .
