The chair and vicechair were taken by Bros . W . and G . B . Godson respectively .

DUO . C . IL' WOHI . EY . Before sitting down to dinner the brethren visited the new temple under the guidance of the architect and contractors , and the details of the work explained . The beauty

of design and workmanship were enthusiastically praised , and the unanimous verdict was , " that there is not any building to equal it in this country . " After a very recherche dinner , the chairman proposed the toast of "The King , " followed by the National Anthem .

The chairman next proposed the toast of " The Architect . " and said , they were assembled to heartily congratulate him on the result of much work and thought . They would appreciate the fact that the new temple was in ( he place of the old kitchens , and what a transformation . He ventured

to think he must be a proud man when he looked upon his success , for a success it undoubtedly was , being the most perfect of its kind . It was an achievement that would long remain as a tribute to his ability . Bro . Worley returned thanks for ( he eulogistic terms used

in speaking of his work . The chairman said it was a great satisfaction to come there that day , after the toils and worries of the past , to receive those little attentions from the management they all liked , ' and to hear their approval of what had been done .

They had just rebuilt that part of the establishment in which they were dining , and redecorated the whole of the premises . They were deserving of a hearty toast , which he coupled with the name of Bro . Morrell .

In reply , Bro . Morell said he did not know why he was made the guest of the evening . He was proud to make reply on behalf of the directors . They had some reason , he feared , to complain at the lime they had to wait for the additions ; but that , perhaps , enabled them the more heartily to express thanks for the splendid temple now provided . In

proposing the toast of " The Contractors , " he thanked them all , down to their lowest workman . The chairman said he hardly knew how to reply . They were simply the builders , the beauty of the work was due to the architect . The constructive part was theirs , and he felt

sure it would live much longer than he should . In replying , he did so on behalf of all who had taken part in the work , which he was sure would compare favourably with any other in London . The national anthem concluded a most enjoyable evening .
