No. Xii.—Doyles Lodge, Guernsey.

most manly , honest , and straightforward addresses we ever listened to . He said that when he became a Freemason he felt as proud of the fact as he did when his father was electedM . P . for Birmingham . It is noteworthy that Bro . Muntz is an amateur

sculptor of considerable ability , and his residence at Firmain Bay—one of the most beautiful estates in the island—is ornamented with several works of sculpture which , as specimens of untrained talent , are highly interesting . While the Craft is

honoured with the loyal zeal of men like Bro . Muntz we need never fear the future of our ancient order . Bro . Muntz has several brothers who are Freemasons including the late candidate for one of the divisions of the county of Wanvick . He is

also brother-in-laAV to another active Mason , Bro . ¦ * J . H . Parker , of Doyle ' s Lodge , who Avas unfortunately absent afc the date of our second visit . On this occasion Bros . Clark , Row , and Gardner enlivened the supper-table with some excellent

part-singing—a feature of the evening which we trust may be repeated at subsequent meetings . It is , we believe , the intention of the brethren to revive the choir which Bro . Dr . Hopkins assisted in founding during his residence in Guernsey .

At one time there existed a Masonic Order entitled " The Eite of Elected Cohens" ; and although that branch of our brotherhood is unknown in Guernsey , the province possesses a Masonic Cohen , who is enthusiastic in devotion to

the Craft . We allude to Bro . R . Cohen , of Doyle ' s Lodge , whom Ave hope one day to see appropriately filling the chair of K . S . We find thafc we are misinformed as to Lady Doyle having presented a silver goblet to Doyle ' s

Lodge . The goblet was presented by Mrs . Cohu , the widow of the late Bro . Cohu . The portrait of Sir John Doyle previously alluded to Avas presented by Sir John to a lady , who gave ifc to ro . Gallienne , by whom ifc was generously given

to Doyle ' s Lodge . Our esteemed Brother , John Oatley , W . M . elect of La Cesaree Lodge , Jersey , Avas present at the last meeting of Doyle ' s Lodge which Ave attended . In response to the toast of his health , Bro . Oatley

testified to the pleasure with which he had witnessed the admirable working of the lodge . We read at this meeting the folloAving extract from a letter which Ave had received from our

valued Brother , 0 . J . Carleton , of Dublin , whose connection with Doyle ' s Lodge Ave have previously referred to : —

" I can safely say I have never seen a lodge worked as well as Doyle ' s , and I have visited a great many . " As far as our experience goes , we can fully endorse Bro . Carleton's eulogium of Doyle ' s

Lodge , as being no less flattering than true . In Guernsey we met with a pleasing proof thafc our articles in the Magazine have not been , as the Exeter Hall people would say , " wholly in vain . " Bro . John Coutts , W . M . of the Egyptian Lodge ,

London , and Knight of the Eed Cross of Constantine , sent to Bro . Millington , Guernsey , for a copy of the photograph of Victor Hugo and the Poor Children , previously mentioned by us . Having shortly afterwards to visit the Channel

Islands , and remembering our notice of the fact that Bro . James Gardner , S . W . of Doyle ' s Lodge was proprietor of the Royal Hotel , Bro . Coutts afc once made his way to that hotel , and began to inquire of Bro . Gardner about " J . A . H . "

Singularly enough , Ave happened at the time to be staying in the house , and a speedy introduction to Bro . Coutts Avas the consequence . It was unfortunate that Bro . Coutts arrived too late to attend the monthly meeting of Doyle ' s Lodge ; bufc he

nevertheless spent one or two pleasant evenings with some of the more active brethren , and we felt much pleased to have an opportunity of making the acquaintance of so accomplished and earnest a Craftsman .

Ifc was a singular coincidence thafc on the day that the news of the death of Bro . Lord Brougham arrived we met in the Royal Alfred Lodge , Jersey , a member of the Canongate Kilwinning Lodge , Edinburgh , Avith which the names of our immortal

brethren , Brougham , Scott , Robert Burns , and the " Ettrick Shepherd " are proudly identified , and Avhich is honoured in having our esteemed Bro . Anthony Oneal Haye , as its present Poet Laureate . On the succeeding evening the memory of our

departed brother , Lord Brougham , was toasted amid solemn silence in Doyle ' s Lodge , Guernsey . Although Bro . Lord Brougham had long ceased to take any part in Masonic movements , his whole life may nevertheless be regarded as a noble

exemplification of the principles of the Craft . Our respected Bro . Millington , S . D ., had the honour to enlist the sympathies of the members of Doyle ' s Lodge on behalf of the Masonic Life-boat , originated by Bros . Hyde Clarke and William Smith , C . E ., and so fully and ably advocated in the Magazine . The matter was at once taken up
