Masonic Centennial In New Brunswick.
MASONIC CENTENNIAL IN NEW BRUNSWICK .
FROM Tin : KEYSTONE . THE Craft in Now Brunswick hel 1 its Cnntennhl Celebration at St . John , H . B ., on 1 st July 1881 . It b ^ gan ( as we learn from Rro . Charles K . Pierce , of Boston ) with tho opening of Gnrirl Lodge in the Masonio Temple , Grand M ister Ellis presiding . Grand Master Major General Lanrie , of the Grind Lodge of Nova Scotia , and other distinguished visitors were present , and several addresses were
delivered . At 1-30 p . m . there was a grand procession of the Craft . This was followed by a large and enthusiastic ! Masonio gathering at the Institnte , where Bro . John V . Ellis Most Worshipful Grand Master of New Brunswick , delivered a lonajthy and deeply interesting Masonio address . We qnoto from its opening as follows : — Many of the loyalists were Masons . An inside history of the
Revolutionary war wonld show that in it Freemasonry played an important part . In the army of the revolted Colonies , from Washington down , there were many Masons , as th' < re were among their French auxiliaries , who , as opportunity offered , not only interested themselves in the ordinary work of the Craft , but fonnd solace and
comfort in tho precepfca and nvixims of the society ; who followed with much satisfaction speculations on human brotherhood ; who , amid the horrors of civil war , could meditate upon the pleasures of peace , and who , moreover , were sometimes benefitted by the operations of a society in which the feelings of haman brotherhood tended to mitigate the miseries of an auhappy fratricidal war . As the war went on ,
Lodges increased . There were many Lodges in the regimenfci on both ^ sides , and on both sides the larger number of these Lodges derived their authority from the division of the English Craft whioh called itself the Anoient Grand Lodge , in which Laurence Dermott was the priucipal power ; and many of the peculiarities of that section of English Masonry , affeoted in some degree ) by transmission
throngh the older colonies , are still stamped on the Craft in thia Province . A number of loyalisrs , who had seen service in the army , came here , and they were soarcely settled in their new home before they a ? ain tnrned their attention to it for what relief it might afford amid the very great trembles by which they were encompassed . In the enjoyment of all that we have . to-day , we enter very little into
the feelings , the disappointments , the struggles of the loyalists . It is easy to praise the patriotism which we ascribe to them , and thus to throw a halo of romance over the first years of our city ' s existence ; it is not so easy to get a true idea of what life here was ; to judge what ideals were realised , what disappointments were encoantered , what hopes were shattered . On a clear understanding of all this we
need not be surprised at the fact that Freemasonry in an organised form , and actively at work , is older here than our province : older than tho civic organisation over which you , Mr . Mayor , preside ; the oldest , indeed , of the p-3 rmanent foundations of a civil or social kind existing in New Brunswick to-day . On 7 th November 1783 , Bro . Jared Betts , of " Hi 3 Majesty ' s
Prince of Wales Regiment , " wrote a letter from St . Ann s , now Fredericton , N ! S ., to Bro . Jos . Peters , Secretary of the Musters ' Lodge , at H ilifax , looking towards the founding of a Lodge at that place . On 6 th March 1734 , " Elms Hardy , W . M . of Lodge 169 , " similarly addressed Worship ful Bro . John George Pike . No . 39 , of the St . John ' s Gazette and Nova Scotia Intelligencer , of Thursday .
9 th September 1784 , contains the following notice : — "At a meeting of a respectable body of Ancient Brethren , the 7 th instmt , it was agreed to give this notice to every Ancient Brother Mason on tho River St . John , that on Tuesday , the 21 st instant , will be held nt Brother Kirk's , a meeting oF Ancient Masons at his new Lodge Room , Lower Cove , for the purpose of preparing and
installing the proper officers for constituting a Lodge , where the attend , ance of every Ancient Brother is earnestly requested . "Parr , September 8 1781 . " Tlie warrant for the Provincial Grand Lodge at Halifax came out in 178-1 , from Lord Antrim , then Graud Master of the Ancieut Grand Lod"e , and the Halifax authorities proceeded to regulate thoir work .
Nino warrants wor . ? issued in 1781 ; five in 1785 , and throe in 1786 . The last of these , No . 17 , was issued Gth December of that year to Hiram Lodge , the regular communications to be held at St . John , New Rrunsvvick , on the first Tuesday of the month , at the house of John Kirk , which house was undoubtedly on Lot No . 123 J , on what is now Britain , bnt which was then St . Andrew ' s Street , commencing
40 feet east of Germain Street . The warrant was signed by Governor Parr , who had succeeded Mr . Pike in tho Graud Mastership . The 51 th Regiment—famous because Wm . Cobbett , grammarian And reformer , was in its ranks—arrived here in Jane , 1785 , and brought with it a regimental Lodge . No doubt many civilians were received into tho Lodge in this regiment . On the anniversary of St .
John tho Evangelist , in 17 SG , this Lodge attended the parish church in a body , and the St . John Gazette , of January 9 , 1787 , editorially announces that there is "now in press , aud will be published on Saturday next , 'The Pleasures and Advantages of Brotherly Uuity ; a sermon prer . ched before the Right Worshipful Master , Wardens and Brethren of tae 54 th Regimental Lodge of Free and Accepted MasonB
