Tho Dramatic Lodgo is , as a matter of course , quite a favourite in the proviuce , and especially iu Liverpool . There is great vitality amongst its members , and splendid talent for Masonic ritual . The Lodge is in its infancy , and it

remains to bo seen whether its prosperity in the future will be as sure as its rapid rise during tbe three years of its existence . The present W . M . is a Brother of power and rction , yet there aro others whom we havo heard in our glorious ceremonies more impressive with less demonstration , more comprehensive with less effort . If ever tho heart should—nay , must be—in unity with tho word , it is

most undoubtedly in Masonio ritual . Ho amount of vocal power , of energetic gesture , of rapid eloquence , can carry our solemn and beautiful teachings home to the heart of a listener , unless it proceeds from tho eloquence immediately dictated by the heart of the speaker .

spread was duly appreciated . On the removal of the cloth , the AV . M . gave the usual Loyal aud Masonic toasts in epiick succession .

accorded all a most hearty welcome , and Rev . Bro . Leslie responded , During tho evening Bros .
