CONSECRATION .
ST . MARY OF THE HARBOUR LODGE
A LAEGE and influential gathering took place at Shoreham , on the 18 th , when this new Lodge was consecrated . The proceedings opened with a luncheon , which took place at the Eoyal George Hotel , under the presidency of the Eev . J . Puttick P . P . G . Chaplain W . M .-designate of the new Lodge , who was supported by several Grand Lodge Officers , Provincial Officers , and Worshipful Masters of Private Lodges .
The W . M .-designate opened the short toast list by proposing the Queen and the Craft , which was duly honoured , when he submitted the Officers of Grand Lodge Present and Past . Bro . the Eev . E . E . Currie P . G . Chaplain , in responding , said he regretting the absence of one Grand Officer , Bro . Sir W . T .
Marriott , who , after arranging to perform the consecration ceremony that day found , unfortunately , that he was unable to be present . As he had consented to take the place of Brother Marriott , he trusted the Brethren would bear with him and excuse any imperfectness in his work . He wished the new Lodge
Consecration.
every prosperity , and spoke in eulogistic terms of the W . M .-designate . The chairman next proposed the Provincial Grand Master , the Deputy , and the rest of the Provincial Officers Present and Past , and expressed his regret that the Duke of Connaught and Sir W . T . Marriott , who took great interest in the Province , were unable to be present that day .
The Provincial G . S . W . Bro . E . W . Stillwell , in responding , said the Provincial Grand Officers warmly appreciated the hearty manner in which their efforts were recognised . Bro . the Eev . E . E . Currie submitted the W . M ., S . W ., and J . W . Designate , and the other Founders , and success to the St .
Mary of the Harbour Lodge , No . 2591 . Congratulating the Lodge upon so . able and popular a W . M . as Bro . the Eev . J . Puddick , he said the Brethren of the Province welcomed the new Lodge with the fullest fraternal regard , and he trusted it would prove worthy of their noble Order .
Bro . Puttick , who was warmly applauded on rising to respond , said it would be his endeavour to make the Lodge a success by the advancement of the principles of Freemasonry . His Officers were all able Masons who would render him excellent support , and , on their behalf , as well as his own , he thanked
those present for their cordial reception of the toast . The Tyler ' s toast brought the proceedings to a close . / The Brethren then repaired to the Town Hall , whence they set out in a procession to St . Mary ' s Church , where a short service was held . The Vicar of Shoreham , the Eev . C . M . A .
Tower , intoned the prayers ; the short lesson was read by the Eev . Canon Cooper ; and special psalms and hymns were ably rendered by the church choir , under the direction of Bro . 0 . W . Stevens , who presided with great ability at the organ . Bro , the Eev . E . E . Currie , Dean of Battle , preached a short and
admirable sermon from Ephesians ii ., 19 , 20 , 21 , and 22 . Speaking of the approaching consecration of the new Lodge , it was fit , he said , that they should meet in church , to ask God ' s blessing upon their proceedings . Eeferring to the social intercourse and charity which characterised Freemasonry , he said their tenets taught much more than that , and led members of
the Craft to regard themselves a " temple of living stones , " and devoted to God's service . The old church in which they had assembled was , he said , an evidence of the skill and devotion of Masons in years long past , but needed repairing , and he asked those present to contribute to the tower fund . The collection amounted to £ 9 13 s .
On the conclusion of the service the Brethren returned to the Town Hall , where the new Lodge was duly consecrated by Bro . Currie , Brother J . H . Pulman W . M . 56 Provincial Grand Organist presiding at the harmonium and directing the music .
On the conclusion of the ceremony , Brother Eev . J . Puttick was installed W . M ., the ceremony being performed by Brother W . Dawes P . P . S . G . W . The newly-installed W . M . appointed and invested his
Officers as follow : Bros . H . Elliott I . P . M . P . M . 1003 P . P . G . S
Works Jersey , acting I . P : M ., Charles Howard S . W ., Ernest T . Cox J . W ., Graufield Baguley P . M . Secretary , Arthur Bade Treasurer , Joseph Sears S . D ., Eobert B . Higham P . M . P . P . G . A . Purs . J . D ., John Charles Flint D . C , Musgrave F . Hilton Chap ., Charles W . Stevens Organist , S . Gregory-Taylor I . G ., John Sinclair Steward , and W . Stanton Tyler .
In addition to those who were appointed Officers , the following Brethren were among those who were Founders of the
Lodge : Brothers John Purnell P . M . 804 P . P . G . S . B ., E . B . Y
Powell P . M . 1829 , and W . Swales P . S . W . 1829 . — " Sussex Daily News . " Eeferring to the above event , the " West Sussex Gazette " says : —Like most of the ancient towns of Sussex , notably Chichester , Eye , Lewes and Hastings , Shoreham has had along ,
though intermittent connection with the ancient society of Free and Accepted Masons . The architecture of its parish church , or of the fragment of the building which remains , second to none in Sussex for beauty aud grandeur , points no doubt to the existence in the town , six or seven hundred years ago , of one of those
guilds of Operative Masons from which the modern Free and Accepted or Speculative Masons claim to have their origin . Masonic records do not go back very far , but a Lodge was known to exist in Chichester in 1695 , its Master being the Duke of Eichmond , who was chosen Grand Master of England . In
1766 a Lodge was in existence at Shoreham ; Chichester , Eye and Lewes being the only other Sussex towns which at that time had Masonic Lodges . The Lodge of 1766 met at the Dolphin Inn , but ceased to exist in 1775 . Another Lodge , called the Harmony Lodge , was , in 1800 , moved from Chichester to the Fountain Inn ( now the Bridge Inn ) , and survived twenty-five
years . No other Lodge was working in the town until in 1879 the Burrell Lodge , naimed after the late much-loved Provincial Grand Master ( Sir Walter Wyndham Burrell , M . P . ) , was consecrated . The Burrell Lodge was so successful that it outgrew its quarters in Shoreham , and now meets at the Eoyal Pavilion , Brighton .
