History Of The Tranquillity Lodge.

matter of deep interest to every Freemason , and the story of the rise and development of the Tranquillity Lodge appeals , I venture to think , with great force to the members of that Lodge in particular . It brings home to us all the goodly heritage which has been handed down to our safe

with adversity ; and in the hour of its greatest trials and troubles a few faithful Brethren remained staunch to their sacred charge . It is now fortunately in its zenith . In the day of prosperity we can rejoice—but let us not forget . Thrones and Powers , dominions and sceptres , crumble' and

keeping . Our Lodge has passed a career of ups and downs . It has had to battle against the stress and " storm of difficulties which have been happily surmounted by the dogged and faithful persistence of those who have gone before us . It has been on the brink of dissolution ; it has been bruised

pass away , but the principles of our Grand Order will stand firm for ever . An excellent concert was given after the dinner , to which Bro . E . Spero contributed two songs , " Sons of Tubal Cain , " and Schubert ' s " Serenade . "— " Jewish Chronicle . "
