Masonic Lecture At Norwich.
MASONIC LECTURE AT NORWICH .
BRO . JAMES STEVENS P . M ., & c , delivered his popular lecture on the Ritual and Ceremonial of the Symbolic Degrees iu Freemasonry , to the members of the Masonio Association , at 47 Sc . Giles' Street , Norwich , on Friday , the 6 th inat . There waa a very fair attendance of the brethren of the local and neighbouring Lodges , which , but for the oounter-attraotioa of a Grand Concert in the town on the sam _ evening , wonld certainly havo been still larger .
The Right Worshipful Deputy Provincial Grand Mnster of Norfolk , Bro . Hamon Le Strange , presided , and was supported by the Worshipfnl Masters of the Union Lodge , No . 52 , the Social Lodge , No . 93 , the Perseverance Lodge , No . 213 , and tha Cabbed Lodge , No . 807 , with many of their respective Lodge Officera and brethren , and several Provincial Grand Officers . This was the lecturer ' s
second visit , in continuation of his greatly esteemed discourse ou the subject of Masonic Ritual . The Deputy Provincial Grand Master , in re-introducing Bro . Stevens to the meeting , expressed hia pleasure at being enabled to preside on this occasion , aud enlisted tho kindly consideration of his hearers for the lecturer , who , notwithstanding a recent and heavy
domestic bereavement , had not failed to meet , them as had been arranged . Ho felt assured that the nd tress they were aboat to listen to wonld give equal s-itisfactin ** t <> that with which , he had been informed , the former portion bad b .-on attended . Bro . Stevens on rising was cordi *!! ^ r <\ jeived , and after briefly commenting on the points he had introduced into bis former lecture ,
proceeded to deal at length with those more closely associated with the working of tho Second and Third Degrees . These were , if anything , even of greater interest , and , to the advanced brethren , more full of instrnction . Daring the progress of his extempore discourse tbe most earnest attention was accorded him . A great Masonio celebrity , but recently deceased , has written that in the coarse of
his lecturing tours over a large pot tion of America and Canada , to brethren of all classes , he never in one instance found his audience becoming weary , although he rarely spoke for less than two hours , often two and a half , and sometimes three . He therefore knew that ; men of many kinds can be deeply interested in the subject of tbe Symbolism of the Blue Lodge , and are glad to have it proven to
them that there is something more and higher and nobler in their Blue Free-Masonry than they had supposed . It would seem to ns that Bro . Stevens might readily endorse these remarks , for lapse of time was quite unheeded by bis audience , and , we almost think , by himself , for ho had evidently not exhausted his subject when , aftor a two hours' oration , he resumed his seat .
Tho Right Worshipful Deputy Provincial Grand Master , in proposing a vote of thanks fco the lecturer , expressed hia warm and earnest appreciation of the interesting and instructive address , to whioh he had listened with mnoh pleasure , and , he was sure , with much benefit . He hoped that future opportunities would be fonnd amongst the Lodges in his province for obtaining such information
u-j had that evening buen afforded to thoao present , and highly complimented Bro . Stevens on the reception whioh had been given to his remarks . Worshipful Bro . G . Baxter P . M . 213 P . P . G . J . W . seconded the proposition , whioh was unanimously carried , and tho formal meeting was concluded . Subsequently such of the brethren as could remain joined a social circle , which the Deputy Grand Master honoured by
attending , when many of the points of the le-oturo were thoroughly discussed , and Bro . Stevens added further information . Amongst brethren who should be named aa materially contributing to the success of this meeting are Bros . J . H . Guy ton P . M ., Director , and GQO . Baxter P . M ., Secretary of the Norwich Masonio Association , who were assisted by several officers of the Perseverance and Cabbell Lodgea .
Following the example of the other professions , the architects and surveyors have resolved to form a Lodge . Tho founders are all members of the Royal Institute of British Architects , and the M . W . G . M . has been pleased to
grant a warrant for the Hiram Lodge , No , 2410 . The Officers designate are Bros . H . Lovegrove P . M . P . Z . & c . W . M ., P . A . Farrow W . M . S . W ., and F . A . Powell P . M . & c . J . W . The consecration will take place at Freemasons ' Hall on the 30 th inat .
Bro . C . S . Lee , W . M . of No . 1599 , is the Hon . Secretary of a Committee formed to promote tho erection of a memorial of the late Mr . W . H . Smith . Bro . Edward Terry , Major Probyn , and other representative men in the Stran . district are taking an active part in tho work , and ,
although the memorial , as Bro . Leo was careful to explain at the last meeting , was only a parochial , and not a national one , it will no doubt be worth y of the district in which the late First Lord of the Treasury took so great au interest .
A Lodge of lustruction , in connection with tho Woodjjjiango Lodge , No . 2409 , has been established , and will maet every Friday evening during the months of January , February , March , April , May , June , October , November , and December , at the Princess Alice Hotel , Forest Gate , E ., at eight o ' clock . Bro . A . Calver P . M . and Sec . 933 haa been appointed the Preceptor .
