The Late Lord Mayor At Southwold.
There was something , too , very cordial , heart } ' , benevolent and kind , in the words and gesture with which the chief guest announced his comprehensive pledge to those who sat with him at the festive board : —" Brethren , the Lord Mayor drinks to you all . "
Even the mode with which the visitor Avas borne through the streets of the little ennvded town—the blue-jackets , dispensing with his horses , yoking themselves to his carriage , and speeding him by their own strength along the teeming thoroughfare—seemed to convey a moral * . " Such
is the homage which Englishmen are ready to render to unblemished character and successful industry . Time and chance happen unto all men . Conduct is fate . "
Sheriff Nicol spoke with point ; the talented Chaplain with real eloquence ; and the Worshipful Master with true and genuine feeling *; but after all , the two main and most delightful features of the Southwold festival were the unanimity and hearty good-will which pervaded the little
town , and the lesson which the proceedings of the day could hardly fail to teach , that Masonry is not a phantom , but a reality , —that it boasts some hidden but marvellously stringent bond , and that its onward progress is everywhere marked by the same traces—kindly feeling and benevolence .
To the Southwold people what shall be our farewell greeting ? This : the hearty and well-known Cornish wish — " Success to one and ALL . "
