the smallness of the sum expended in so doing , the greatest credit was due to him . The health of the visitors was responded to by Comp . Greenwood , who said that it was most gratifying to him to see such a commencement to a new and provincial chapter , and he thought the nucleus was formed and that day cemented for one of the most flourishing chapters in the province , and he heartily wished it every success . The health of the newly-exalted companions was ably responded to by Comp .
S . Moline . Comp . J . B . Warren , P . Z ., then proposed the health of the M . E . Z ., saying that very few words were required from him , as the worthy M . E . Z . and Prov . G . Treas . for Surrey , was so well known to all the companions present , and concluded by congratulating him upon being First Principal of this new chapter . The M . E . Z ., in thanking the companions for the manner in which they had drank his health , and for the confidence so long reposed in himsaid he should also endeavour to discharge the
, duties of his new office to the entire satisfaction of the companions , and concluded by drinking the healths of the Second and Third Principals , alleging that all the credit was due to Comps . C . H . AVoodward , J ., as , without his indefatigable exertions they would not have been assembled as they were that evening ; and which laudatoiy sentiments were fully endorsed by Comp . W . L . W ' ebb , H ., who , after some excellent remarks upon this supreme degreesaid he should leave Comp . J . to speak for
, himself . Comp . J . said that the high encomiums everywhere bestowed upon him that evening were most gratifying , but that without the assistance of several of the companions it would have been impossible to have consummated the formation of this chapter , and that if they were all satisfied with his feeble effort he was most amply repaid ; and if the companions would only support him as the Craft brethren had done ( during his year of office as AV . M . of 463 ) he should be able to look
back upon this day as one of the greatest in his Masonic career . It may here be stated that when the charter was granted for this chapter six or seven of the companions each placed a sum of money in the hands of Comp . AVoodward , and entrusted to him the entire furnishing of the same , which sums are to be repaid as the chapter flourishes , or considered as subscriptions paid in advance , so that it may fairly be said to be launched without a debt . The Janitor ' s toast brought a red letter day for Croydon to a happy termination , shortly before ten o'clock .
