Consecration Of The Mid-Surrey Lodge, No. 3109.
that he had come to see how the work was done . He was very pleased in having such a Dep . P . G . Master for Surrey , and he should continue to say so , so long as Bro . Langton remained the firm strong officer he was . Bro . Latham , the Prov . Assistant G . Secretary , was always ready also
to give him any amount of his time . The brethren had no right to pay him ( Bro . Bucknill ) gratitude without associating with his name that of his Deputy and Assistant Grand Secretary . It was a compliment to himself that Bro . Langton had come down to help him . He came last to
the W . M ., who would have ample opportunity of showing what he could do . Let him—he lived at Epsom—give them the " straight tip , " keep their eyes on the Worshipful Master , and he would pull them through . He had omitted to mention the name of the " big gun " or the " eloquent Childe , " but he
quite agreed with what had been said—his oration was touching and eloquent , and would not be forgotten . The AV . M . then proposed the toast of " The Deputy Prov . G . M . and the rest of the Prov . G . Officers , Present and Past , ' - ' which he did not pass over quickly because of its want ot
importance , but because the time was growing short . The D . P . G . M . had helped them immensely in the preliminaries relating to the formation of the lodge , and was regarded with the utmost esteem by all Surrey Masons .
Bro . J . D . Langton , P . D . G . D . C , D . P . G . M ., said the words he would say were few , but they were not the less sincere , and he would be saying what his brother Provincial Grand Officers would wish him to say in that it was the greatest pleasure to be there that night . He had had particular pleasure in saying that the AV . M . was a member of a lodge to
which he had had the plea : ure of belonging for some years , in assisting to place him in the chair . He sincerely hopedand he was sure every one joined in that hope—that they should have a prosperous lodge , and the AV . M . a happy year of office .
Ihe AV . M . next proposed the toast of " The Consecrating Officers , " and he associated with it the name of Bro . Frank Richardson . His presence ensured success to any ceremony , and it was a matter for congratulation that he should have come to take part in the consecration . Bro . Frank Richardson , P . D . G . Reg ., G . D . Crose at once
, to return thanks , on behalf of the Consecrating Officers , for the kindly way in which the toast had been given , and he assured them on behalf of those who had taken part in the ceremony that it gave them an immense amount of pleasure . It was always gratifying to take part in bringing a
new lodge into existence , and especially when the new lodge was one that was wanted , and one that would add lustre to the roll of Grand Lodge . He understood that the lodge was composed principally of brethren living in that neighbourhood , and . therefore , it was sure to do well ; and he was
quite satisfied that he need not repeat the remark that had been so cften used that they must be careful to get good brethren , and good brethren only , into the lodge . It was an easy thing to get a man admitted into Masonry , but a most difficult thing to get him out of it when he had got settled in
it . He wished the brethren , individually and collectively , a prosperous term of life , and that the lodge should ultimately become a shining light . To the AA ^ . M . he wished a very prosperous year . He had known him for a great number of years , and he was quite satisfied that under his able
management the lodge would prosper . The musical arrangements were under the direction of Bro . Kift , and added much to the evening ' s enjoyment .

r \ HE old lodges are gradually having their histories J _ written , and so by degrees , the usages and customs of the Craft during the eighteenth century are being made known through the publication of many of the quaint and deeply interesting records .
This time the favour has been conferred on the " Caveac , which was formed in the year 1768 with a number more , only three others of the set being now on the roll ; all the quartette having centenary jewel warrants . The historian of the lodge is Bro . John Percy Simpson , its Worshipful Master in 18 97 and son of the late V . AV . Bro . the
, Rev . R . J . Simpson , M . A ., Grand Chaplain of England 1867-8 , who was the respected Chaplain of the lodge from 1885 to 1900 . The compilation of the very readable work has been a labour of love , and assuredly the members may well rejoice that its preparation has fallen into such competent hands .
The first chapter is devoted to providing an answer to the question " How did the lodge come to be called the Caveac " ; the reply is not quite conclusive as to precisely when the title was selected , for though Bro . John Lane , in his " Masonic Records " 1717-1894 , " considers it was not so designated until 1778 , " we arc inclined to think with the author that the selection was made much earlier .
The next chapter explains the meaning of the word " Caveac , " and with the next—a useful trio—a mass of information , topographical , biographical , and historical , which adds greatly to the general interest and value of this charming sketch of an old Atelier ; the result proving how thorough have been the investigations of the author , so as to
do full justice to the subject in every possible aspect . The fourth chapter deals with the history of the lodge f . om its start in 1768 to the present time , and makes known a number of particulars concerning its eventful past , which cannot fail to be most welcome to the members in particular ,
as well as to Masonic students generally . There were nine founders , some of their names appearing in the parish of Hammersmith records as churchwardens , trustees of charities , & c , " yet only one perhaps has left behind him any notable record , " viz ., Dr . Richard Loveday ,
the first Secretary apparently of the lodge . A celebrated Masonic Preceptor , Bro . Laurence Thompson , joined in 1823 and served as Master . He was made a J . G . D . in 18 47 , another P . M . receiving a similar appointment in 18 92 , viz ., Bro . P . A . Nairne , AA ' . M . in 1868 and 1874 , as well
as Treasurer , 1877-1881 . A third Grand Lodge officer is Bro . M . Slaughter , AV . M . 1890 , who has been P . A . G . D . C . from 1902 , and is the present Treasurer . Bro . Simpson has looked well after all the chief points in the history of the lodge , and , moreover , has in the kindest and most fraternal manner decided to devote the whole of
the proceeds of its sale ( apart from those copies assigned to tlu members of the lodge ) to the funds of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys . A few copies of the volume are still to be had from the artistic printers and publishers , Messrs . AA ' arrington and Co ., at the small charge oi Jive shillings each . The numerous excellent illustrations are a special feature of
the handsome book , which reflects considerable credit on the author , who should be warmly congratulated accordingly .
