the Lodge ; when the Grand Master arrived at the east , the music ceased , anil he said" In the name of the Supreme and Eternal God , the Grand Architect of Heaven and Earth , to whom be all honour and glory , I dedicate this hall to universal benevolence . " The Grand Chaplain then dipped his finger in the oil and sprinkled it over the Lodge , and the grand honours were given . The Grand Chaplain standing before the Lodge , then made the following
INVOCATION . " O Lord God , there is no God like unto thee in heaven above , or in the earth beneath , who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants , who walk before thee with all their hearts . " Let all the people of the earth know that the Lord is God , and that there is none else . " Let all the people of the earth know thy name , and fear thee . " Let all the people know that this house is built and consecrated to thy name .
" But will God indeed dwell on earth ? Behold the heaven , and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee ; how much less this house that we have built ? " Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant , ancl to his supplication , O Lord my God , to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer of thy servant and thy people . " That thine eyes may be open towards this house night and day , towards the lace consecrated to th
even p y name . " And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant , and of thy people ; and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place , and when thou nearest forgive . " For they be thy people , and thine inheritance . For thou didst separate them from amongst all the people of the earth , to be thine inheritance . " Response by the Brethren" The Lord is gracious , and his mercy endureth for ever . "
The Grand Chaplain then pronounced the following blessing : — " Blessed be the Lord that hath given rest unto his people . The Lord our God be with us , as he was with our fathers . Let him not leave us nor forsake us : that he may incline our hearts unto him , to walk in all his ways , and to keep his commandments , and his statutes , and his judgments , which he has commanded . Response by the Brethren" Glory be to God on high , on earth peace , good will towards men . "
The grand honours were then given , when the Grand Master retired to his chair . An admirable address was then delivered by the Grand Chaplain , Rev . Thomas Flynn , after which an anthem was sung . The address was , on the motion of the M . W . Grand Master , ordered to be printed . The Lodge retired to refreshment , when upwards of sixty of the Brethren sate down to dinner , —his Grace the Duke of Leinster in the chair ; and , after an agreeable evening , separated .
