Notice Of Meetings.

This reminded him of a couplet he intended to give to the W . M . on his being placed in the chair of K . S . Every Master yon will find Must oft be deaf , and oft be blind . This splendid Testimonial more than repaid him for all his anxieties

of office , not so much for its intrinsic value , as for the spirit of sincere brotherly lovo manifested by the members in this acknowledgment of his services . Messrs . Collins , Wort and Titcombo were duly initiated . The labours of tho evening being ended , tho Lodgo was closed , and the brethren retired for refreshment to Bro . Bailey ' s , Ship Hotel , whore a very pleasant conversational evening was spent .

Dundas Lodge , No . 1255 . —A meeting took place on Tuesday , 20 th inst ., at Plymouth . The brethren , upon the conclusion of the regnlar ancl formal business , adjourned to Bro . Watts ' , Globe Hotel , to partake of their half-yearly supper . Among those present were—Bros . II . Dawe W . M ., Barratt S . W ., Adml . Glasse , C . B ., J . W ., W . Bros . W . Boll P . M . Troas ., S . B . Harvey P . M . Sec , S . IT . Hearle

P . M ., W . B . Triplet !; P . M ., I . Watts P . M . P . P . G . Tr ., J . D . Westcott P . M . 70 P . P . G . S . Wks ., — Holmes J . D ., Jago I . G . Tho usual Loyal and Masonio toasts having been given and responded to , the W . M . proposed the P . G . M . Viscount Ebrington , the D . P . G . M . and tho P . G . L . of Devon . To this Bro . Chas . Godtschalk P . M . 1255 P . P . G . D . replied . He referred to the services rendered to tho Order by their

lato P . G . M . Tho toast of the P . M . s Treasurer , and Secretary of 1255 was proposed by Bro . Davis P . P . G . S . W ., and was followed by that of tho Senior and Junior Wardens ancl other Officers of tho Lodge , both of which were replied to . The next toast was " Success to our Masonic Charities , " responded to by Bros . J . B . Gover and Charles Godtschalk . Bro . Gover referred to the published facts that their

great London Charities had secured , by voluntary means alone , in 1879 , the large income of over £ 44 , 000 . His attention had been culled to it from the fact that the amount has recently been brought forward as a proof of the great benevolence of the Craft afc large . But this bright picture had a dark shadow—tho immense increase in applicants to all the Charities . At the nexfc election of boys , in April

1880 , recognised candidates would compete for twenty vacancies , and no more conld be taken for want of funds . Between fifty and sixty girls would appeal for help , and fifteen or sixteen only wonld bo elected . Many aged Masons and widows could not bo assisted for want of funds . Ho concluded from this that the indiscriminate

multiplication of Lodges during the past few years had produced a large amount of distress . In future , restrictions would have to be placed on the indiscriminate granting of warrants for new Lodges . The toast of " Our Visitors , " and " Our Poorand Distressed Brethren " not forgotten , terminated the proceedings . —Western Daily Mercury .

Friars Lodge of Instruction No . 1340 . —Held at Bro . Pavitt ' s , Liverpool Arms , Canning Town , on Tuesday , 27 th inst . — Bros . Cnndick P . M . W . M ., Myers P . M . S . W ., Spencer J . W ., Power I . G ., Pavitt Acting Sec . ; also Bros . Lewis , Richardson , Fyfe , Cope , Watkins , Roddam , Clark , Waterer , Dinsmore , Barker , White , Roberts , Sadler , & c . This being tho fourth Tuesday , tho following sections were worked : —First by Bros . Spencer , second Watkins , third Pavitt ,

fourth Myers , fifth McDonald , sixth Pavitt , seventh McDonald ; second degree , first Bro . Watkins , second , third , fourth and fifth Bro . Pavitt . The Lodge was resnmed to the first degreo . Bros . Jno . Lewis Victoria Park Lodge 812 , and Jno . Clark Prince Leopold Lodge 1445 , were unanimously elected members . After spending a pleasant hour on the closing of the Lodge , the brethren departed , very pleased with the entire working .

St . Peter and St . Paul Lodge , No . 1410 . —On Tuesday , 13 th inst ., the members of this Lodge held their usual meeting at the Swan Hotel , Newport Pagnell . After the bnsiness had been transacted they adjourned to an adjoining room , where , thanks to the improved catering of host Cannon , an excellent spread was prepared and well served up , giving great satisfaction to all present . After

tho usual Loyal and Masonic toasts had been given and duly honoured , the W . M . proposed the health of the Rev . J . Studholme Brownrigg , and in eulogistic terms alluded to tho important services he had rendered in respect to Freemasonry , and particularly to the Lodgo of SS . Peter and Paul , where , through his instrumentality , such excellent harmony always prevailed . Ho then presented him

with a Past Master s jewel , and hoped ho would be spared long to wear it . The jewel bore the following inscription : — " Presented by the Brethren of SS . Peter ancl Paul ' s Lodge , No . 1410 , to V . W . Bro . tho Rev . J . Stndholmo Brownrigg P . G . C ., First W . M ., in token of their appreciation of his invaluable services . " The Rev . J . Studholme Brownrigg , iu acknowledging the present , said : —W . M .,

Bro . Wardens , aud Brethren , —It is most difficult for me to acknowledge as I would wish the very beautiful jewel you have given me . I have tho privilege to wear a largo nnmber of Masonic jewels , but it has always been my habit to wear few , because I believe that jewels unless fairly earned are not worth much . It is a very common thin" - to see a brother covered with decorations which mean

nothiog . Some jewels I do value . I havo ono that reminds mo of the clays when as an undergraduate at Cambridge I was the first Principal Sojourner of the Euclid , the new University Chapter . By another jewel I call to mind my dear old Province of Cambridge , which at the close of my university career gave me tho highest honour of the year , tlie Provincial Senior Grand Wardenship . Here

is a jewel which I never deserved , that of tho Past Grand Officer of England , and this one I deserved still loss , tho garter of English Freemasonry , tho jewel of the Royal Alpha Lodge . You , brethren , have added to-uight ono that I shall value second to none . I value ifc because it is a testimony both of your good feeling to me , and also of tho efficient state of this Lodge . It would be afl ' ectation for

Notice Of Meetings.

me to say I havo not worked afc this Lodge . For the seven years of its existence I havo never missed a Lodge . I havo installed every Master . I havo often occupied tho chair . Mosfc of yon are my Masonic children . Yon will nnderstand that as Secretary I might havo hacl many troubles . The W . M . and Wardens change every year . The Secretary is a matter of fact , handed on from Master to

Master , though of course he receives his appointment annually afresh . This is , I believe , a necessary slate of things for the wellbeing of a Lodgo , but it may have disadvantages both for the Master and for the Secretary . Ifc is most disagreeable to a new W . M . to find himself obliged to tako on a crusty old Secretary , who never consults him about anything , and who resents any proposal which

ho does nofc himself originate . I hope my dear friends , Bros . West , Childe , Fitch , Donald Frazer , Heigham , Wilmer , and you , W . M ., have not found mo such . And , on tho other hand , it is equally disagreeable to a Secretary to find thafc every new W . M . wishes to change every detail of Lodge management simply for tho sake of change . I certainly , W . M ., from yourself ancl your predecessors , havo had

nothing but the utmost consideration in all matters . I conceive it is the duty of a Secretary ever to remember thafc he is subordinate to the W . M . All thafc ho does is by command of tho W . M . He must manage details without interfering with tho Master's prerogative . A Secretary who manages everything without ; consulting tho Worshipful Master is unfit for his office . Tho Secretary who

worries his chief about every comma in the circular is equally unfit . No ono but thoso who havo tried it know how hard it is to steer between these two extremes . I am conscious of many failures , to whioh yon are most kindly blind to-night , bufc I havo tried to preserve a due medium between a too great independence ancl a shirking of the proper responsibility of my office . So far as I havo succeeded

it has been through tho good tone which has ever existed in thia Lodgo , not by my own merit . We havo had a few difficulties to meet . We have had animated discussions . We havo all had and held our opinions , but we havo never for one minute lost sig ht ; of this truth thafc the liberty of opinion which we claim for ourselves we must ourselves allow to others . ' Ifc is this fact which has made my Work , whether as Secretary or Master of this Lodge , not a labour ,

bnfc a pleasnro . I shall wear this jewel , I hope for many years , as Secretary of this Lodge , in commemoration of tho brotherly feeling of the past , as an assurance thafc wo pledged , one and all , to preserve for tho future those principles by which you havo enabled me , I will not say to deserve , but to receive it as no empty compliment . The toasfc of the W . M . was given and heartily received , and a very pleasant and convivial evening was enjoyed .

Prince Leopold Lodge of Instruction , No . 1445 . — With much pleasure we report the revival of this Lodgo of Instruction , nnder the Preceptorship of Bro . Wm . H . Myers P . M . of tho mother Lodge , and P . M . and P . Z . 820 .

McDonald , for tho excellent manner in which fchey had worked tho sections . Bro . Myers then gavo notice of

motion to tho following effect : —Thafc tho members subscriptions be allowed to accumulate , and when there is an amount of fivo guineas in the hands of tho Treasurer , a ballot be taken for a Life Subscribership in either of tho Masonio Institutions , by members who have attended this Lodge of Instruction not less than six nights of meeting in the previous three months , dating from tho first of a month to the first of the then current month .
