Laying The Foundation Stone Of The Masonic Hall At Lewes .
and the duty which has devolved upon his lordship in laying the foundation stone of the new Masonic Hall , and he and I trust that prosperity may ever attend this lodge- To those ladies and gentlemen who are not masons I will take this opportunity of observing that there is nothing incompatible in Masonry with our civil , moral , and religious duties . If we look around us we
see numbers of oflicers in her Majesty's service , and iu the public departments , and we can rest assured there is no want of loyalty in them as masons . The object , therefore , of masonry is good , and charitable , and virtuous , as an instance of which I ask you to look at the charities of which the masons can boast . Wo can see around us many charities for the aged , the young , tho
infirm , and the helpless which it supports . I say , therefore , we find masonry does good , and I feel assured it will contribute to tho good of ourselves and to the happiness and prosperity of our fellow creatures . I beg to thank you for the attention with which you have listened to this short address . The National Anthem having been sung , three cheers were given for the Prov- G . M ., and the brethren having returned to the County Hall , the Prov . G . Lodge was closed .
