POLISH NATIONAL LODGE , No . 534 . THE meeting of this Lodge which took place on Thursday , the 11 th inst ., will long be remembered by those who had the privilege of attending as of an exceptionally pleasing character . The occasion was memorable from the fact that Bro . William Paas P . M . closed a long official association with the members , whioh had ever been of the most cordial and fraternal character . The Lodge
was formally opened by the W . M . Bro . J . J . Riintz soon after 5 o ' clock , when he was supported by Past Masters Dr . Victor Jagielski , E . T . Smith , Dr . Corrie Jackson , J . Lancaster ( Secretary ) i Bros . J . Bieling S . W ., 0 . Bryant J . W ., S . Nowakowski Treasurer , J . G . Tongue S . D ., F . S . Turner D . C , J . L . Apsey I . G . Visitors—W . Saegert P .

A . H . Riintz ; and for Mr . Harold Catmus Brushfield , proposed by Bro . Bryant J . W ., and seconded by Bro .
Dr . Jagielski P . M . The result was in favour of both these candidates , who were introduced and received the benefit of Masonic light afc the hands of the W . M ., Bro . Riintz . The next business was to pass Bro . Vaughan to the degree of Fellow Craft , and this ceremony was likewise performed with that marked ability which ever characterises the work done in the Polish National Lodge . What may be
considered as the feature of the day ' s proceedings was now brought under consideration . In the early part of the year , Bro . William Paas , who for nearly thirty years has , with marked ability , discharged the duties of Secretary , signified his intention of retiring , in consequence of failing health . This intimation was received with great regret by the members , who immediately
came to the conclusion that services of such great value should nofc go unrecognized . Consequently a committee was formed , with instructions to confer with Bro . Paas as to the nature of the Testimonial to be presented to him . In due course this Committee reported thafc Bro . Paas had a strong objection to accept any gift of substantial value , and under the circumstances they submitted the following recommendations : —
1 st . That a simple token of the Lodge ' s gratitude and acknowledgment of his long and valuable services be presented to Bro , Paas , out of the funds of the Lodge , in the form of an address inscribed on vellum , with the names of all the members appended thereto .
2 nd . That Bro . Paas be elected an Honorary Member of the Lodge . These recommendations having been cordially assented to , the address was prepared , and as a work of art reflected the utmost credit on the firm who had been selected for its production . In formally making the presentation Bro . Riintz eloquently expatiated on the zeal Bro . Paas had ever exhibited for the welfare of the
Lodge , and the comfort and happiness of the members . Addressing the recipient he urged he would ever live in the memory of the brethren of the Polish National , and expressed a fervent hope he might live for many years , and find ifc congenial with his own wishes to be present at future meetings of the Lodge . The Illuminated Address was then formally presented . It reads as follows : —¦
" The Worshipful Master , Wardens , Officers , Past Masters , and Brethren of the Polish National Lodge , whose names are hereunto appended , desire to convey to Bro . William Paas an expression of their gratitude and affectionate regard , upon his retirement from the
Installation Meetings, &C.
office of Secretary , after having zealously , judiciously , and amicably discharged its duties for a period of twenty-eight years . " They unanimously consider that the prosperity and welfare of the Lodge during thai long period have been largely promoted by his untiring zeal aud devotion in its service , and his constant care for the comfort and happiness of its members .
" In deference to his urgent request , they have , with great regret , relinquished an intention of expressing their sense of the obligations thus laid upon the Lodge , by offering him a testimonial of substantial value . They have , however , unanimously resolved to invite his acceptance of an Honorary Membership , and they trustthat he may be spared for many years to enjoy in their midst his well-earned repose , in full assurance of the respect and affection of all his brethren . "
( Here follow the names of the Officers , & c , of the Lodge . ) Bro .

The brethren then partook of a banquet , whioh was provided by Messrs . Spiers and Pond ( Limited ) , and served under the personal superintendence of
Bro . Dawkins . On the removal of the cloth the Loyal toasts were done full justice to . Bro . Smith proposed the health of the W . M . Bro . Riintz needed no words of eulogy from him ; he was hearted in his desire to advance the interests of the Lodge , and had secured the co-operation and goodwill of all its members . After a Glee , capitally rendered , came the reply . He was exceedingly obliged to
Bro . Smith . He hardly deserved what had been said of his efforts , but he appreciated the kind motives thafc prompted the speaker . He trusted he might go through the remaining duties that devolved on him as agreeably . If he could add to the Lodge ' s prosperity he shonld be gratified to do so . In speaking to the toast of the Initiates the W . M . felt assured both would make good Masons . As regards
Bro . Hnll , he could boast a life-long acquaintance with him . Both initiates having made suitable response , Bro . Dr . Jackson sang the " King's Highway . " The Visitors were complimented , and in the conrse of an eloquent reply , Bro . Saegert , whose association with the members is of long standing , said he could bear 13 years' testimony to the courtesy and sterling qualities of Bro . Paas . The duties
of Secretary to a Lodge were very onerous , and required great taofc and discretion to be exercised by any brother who had to fulfil them . This Bro . Paas had fully recognised . He ( Bro . Saegert ) trusted that the brother on whose shoulders the mantle of Bro . Paas had fallen might be equally successful . Several ofcher toasts followed . Some capital singing was provided by the members , and the proceedings throughout were eminently successful .
