Scotland,

west of Scotland , during the last four years , a committee , in the absence of that Brother from Glasgow , was some time ago formed for the purpose of getting up a testimonial to him . Their designs the committee successfully and satisfactorily accomplished . About five o ' clock in the afternoon of the day of presentation ( Monday , September 15 th ) a goodly number of the Brethren of St . Mark ' s and other Lodges ^ of the province met in the Globe Hotel , George square , Glasgow ,

to give a complimentary dinner to Bro . Campbell , previous to presenting the testimonials in the evening . The elegant , and withal substantial repast , provided by the active host , Bro . James M'Lean , having , under the well sustained and supplied energies of his guests , grown beautifully less , Bro . Alexander M 'Donald , the excellent chairman , ably abetted by Bro . John Beid , as Croupier ,

proposed the usual loyal-and patriotic toasts . These having been discussed , a brimful cup was drained amidst the hearty applause following the toast of the evening . Several songs , appropriate and well sung , increased the general happiness ; and at eight o ' clock the Brethren adjourned to the scene of presentation , where in a short time upwards of eighty of the Craft assembled .

On the motion of Bro . . Alexander MDonald , seconded by Bro . John Beid , S . W ., Bro . Dr . Walker . Arnott , Prov . G . M ., was called on to preside . Having taken the chair , he said the phrase mens conscia recti w as a motto which ought to be adopted by every true Mason , for if a man or a Mason was not actuated during the time he was at work by a desire to do his duty , and if he did not work solely from a desire to do his duty , all applause from his fellowsubjects was a dull and unpleasant sound . Every man had sometimes difficulty

in knowing himself , and to know another man was almost impossible . The best means to judge of a man was to learn if the work he did was done from honest intentions , and this could be done simply enough by observing the zeal and assiduity with which he devoted himself to a particular subject . He was convinced that Bro . Donald Campbell , whom they had met to honour , had done his duty faitlifully and zealously , and had exerted himself to a very great extent in the cause of Masonry . They had all the means

of judging whether or not this was the case . He himself had had some means of judging of him , as a pupil in his botanic class , and he might almost say , in Masonic matters also ; and he could say that he exerted himself from no desire to gain popularity , but from a desire to do good . Although the applause of his fellow-men might be of no consequence to Bro . Campbell himself , it was of consequence to them that the duty should be performed of acknowledging his merit , Considering the active manner in which he had laboured to serve

St . Mark ' s Lodge , and . Freemasonry in general , they had thought it their duty to come forward and present him some testimonial . He ( Dr . Arnott ) was but a humble member of St . Mark ' s Lodge , as since he was appointed ^ to the station of Brov . CM . he had not been able to attend their meetings , and bad thought it his duty to abstain from taking any active part in one Lodge more than another . The written testimonial to Bro . Campbell had not been confined to St . Mark ' s Lodge alone , nor to the west of Scotland , but was from both the

east and west of Scotland ^ by all who had seen the way he had conducted himself in Masonic matters . He would , therefore , beg leave to present it to him , not only in his own name , but in the name of all those who had put their names to it . Bro . Dr . Arnott then delivered the testimonial to Bro . Campbell . It was a beautiful sheet , and bore the following inscription : — " Campbell'Testimonial . — Having taken into consideration the unwearied exertions and eminent services of Bro . Donald Campbell ( D . Brov . CM . of the eastern district of

Renfrewshire , and D . M . of St . Mark ' s Lodge , No . 102 , Glasgow ) in the cause of Masonry throughout Scotland , and particularly in Glasgow and vicinity , during tho years 1853 , 1864-, 1855 , 18 f >(> , —we , the undersigned Officers and Brethren of various Lodges of St . John ' s Masonry , hereby desire to decide by our signatures the value wo entertain for the same , and sincerely hope that Bro . Donald Camp bell will accept from us the slight but cordial testimony of our approbation . " Mure follow tho signatures of a large number of Brethren belonging to the Prov .
