Lord Sandhurst's Experiences.
them that the arrangement had proved satisfactory , and if there had been some petty jealousies and some little difficulties between the two Constitutions when he took Office they had entirely disappeared before he came away . He had been backed up on all sides by most zealous Officers under
both Constitutions , and he had been able to accomplish something- of a practical nature in regard to Freemasonry in India , because he had laid the foundation stone and opened a temple for the Craft in Bombay on one of the best sites in the city . They had many scoffers who had not been
within their Masonic portals . If anyone doubted the value of Freemasonry he would ask him to travel to the England beyond the seas . To him Freemasonry in India had been of the greatest value , as it brought him in close touch with a vast variety of natives , with whom he had the greatest
sympathy , and with whom he should not otherwise have had an opportunity of becoming acquainted . It had been a great factor in bringing Europeans much closer to the natives of India , and depreciating that distance between them , which unhappily still existed to some extent . For the last three
and a half years of his term of office as Governor he had to deal with the plague . He visited the Masonic Lodges , and asked the members not to run away , but to stay and help them , and he did not think there was a single Lodge from
which he had not received some practical assistance and advice . In conclusion , he suggested that a limited number of photographs should be taken of the valuable minute book of the Lodge , which was of such outstanding interest to the Masonic world .
Sir Mitchell Thomson , in proposing the Lord Provost , Magistrates , and Town Council , said the present Town Council was as anxious as any ot its predecessors to do what
it could for the welfare of the citizens . The municipality had come in for a good deal of criticism of late , and he was not sorry for that if it should have the effect of leading the citizens to take a more active interest in public affairs .
The Lord Provost , in replying , said when he first entered the Town Council their work was comparatively easy , but now it was something stupendous . They had a good deal
in hand , and every year was adding to their responsibilities . The Town Council were at present trying to do their best lor the city , and their desire was to . make it the happiest and most lightly taxed city in the kingdom .
The Chairman then , amid applause , handed diplomas of membership to the Lord Provost Colonel Ivison Macadam , and the Rev . Dr . Glasse .
Treasurer Cranston , in proposing '" the Burgh of Leith , " said he knew no one who had done more to uphold the honour and to maintain the dignity of the office of the chair than the present Provost . Sir Andrew M'Donald , whose name , in the absence
through indisposition of Provost Mackie , was coupled with the toast , said Provost Mackie had reformed the Town Council of Leith , and they had now tackled to their work like the Edinburgh men . No doubt , when amalgamation was spoken of , there was a little friction , but even that was
dying down . They were not alone in that respect , for Manchester and Salfcrd were exactly in the same position , those two great towns having built themselves into one another , and yet remaining separate municipalities . He was certain the day was not far distant when Leith would be
part of Edinburgh , and that should be done without any jealously . On behalf of Provost Mackie , he asked the Lodge to accept a full-length portrait of the Provost in his municipal robes , and this was unveiled amid warm applause . Among the other toasts were those of the Affiliates , by
Bro . P . L . Henderson ; the Last Links , by the Chairman ; and the Past Masters . During the evening Bro . Sergeant Skeoch Gumming , of the Imperial Yeomanry , was welcomed back from the front ,
and on behalf of the Lodge Lord Sandhurst presented him with a gold jewel of appropriate design , the shield bearing the arms of the Lodge , surmounted by compasses , and crossed at th 3 foot by two Lee-Metford rifles .
The Lord Provost presented the Cranston cup and badge and other prizes to the winners in the golf competi-Lion of the Lodge .
An excellent programme of music was rendered by members of the Craft , and a most enjoyable evening was spent . A collection taken for the Soldiers' and Sailors ' Families' Association resulted in £ 2 lis being contributed . — " Scotsman . "
