The attendance that day , and successful result
of the instruction it afforded , was the most satisfactory proof that could be afforded of its utility .

Johnson , in reply , said he was much gratified
at seeing so goodly a meeting , and especially so large an attendance of the Brethren of No . 196 ; he was particular pleased at seeing two brothers whom he had initiated , Bros . Smith , so efficient at this their first appearance in such important duties . The W .

Aldrich for his uniform and regular , as well as anxious , attention to the business which devolved upon him . " The Officers and Brethren who had assisted in the business , " and the closing toast , " To all poor and distressed Masons , " ended this most satisfactory assemblage , and we may say , in conclusion , a large share of the pleasure was the result of Bro ^ Aldrich's admirable arrangements .
