to tho assembly of Grand Lodge the Finance Committee met and audited the accounts of the Provincial Grancl Treasurer . The minutes of the last meeting of Prov . Grand Lodge having been confirmed and the roll of Lodges called over , it was found all were represented . The Auditors' report was adopted , and

the report of the Charity Committee formally presented . The Prov . Grand Master then addressed the brethren . He said it was a very pleasing duty to him to address them again at that interesting meeting . He need not say what great pleasure it gave him to meet the brethren of the Province , because he found that on

all occasions , when a Masonic duty brought them together , the brethren were most cordial and hearty in supporting their Provincial Grand Master . On thia occasion they had proved themselves quite up to the mark again . It was very pleasant for him to be there in

that charming town , and to find that the preparations for holding the Provincial Grand Lodge had been so excellently eondnefced by the Master aud members of the Walden Lodge . It was very satisfactory to bim to be able to tell thorn that Masonry was flonrishing in the Province . This was of course due to tho exertions of the individual

Masons of the Province all working together in the cordial spirit that they had hitherto done . He was pleased to remind them that two new Lodges had been established in the Province during the pasfc year . Tho first of these he had consecrated , and the second had been consecrated by bis able Deputy , and the way in which those Lodges

had been conducted showed that they were perfectly right in consecrating them . There were now forty members in the Priory Lodge , and he had no doubt that the Epping Forest Lodge , which filled a vacancy , wonld prove itself worthy of Freemasonry . At the same time ho might tell them that tho Province had nob been nnmindfnl

of the Charities , as the report which had just been read fully demonstrated . They could not expect , however , the largo sums of money which were collected when he had the honour of presiding at the Festival of the Girls' School , wh ^ n out of fifteen thousand odd pounds a thousand pounds was contributed by tho Province of Essex . He

desired to take this opportunity of thanking the Province for the support they gave him on that occasion . He found that this year also they had clone extremely well , fche contributions of the Province

amounting to nearly £ 800 at the three Festivals . This was a Province which could not be considered particularly rich ; relying us ifc did—he was sorry to say—almost entirely npou agriculture , that was a most creditable contribution to the three Charities . Their

Chanty Committee had been most successful in doiag good work ; they had carried in their two candidates , and their thanks were due to those who served on the Charity Committee . He thought it extremely

satisfactory , ancl they could see that they had only to put then * shoulder to the wheel to be ablo to carry in their candidates . It appeared to him most desirable that ns far aa possible thoy ahould all of thorn hand over their proxies into tho hands of Proviucia
