able guidance of the Dir . of Cers ., Bro . H . S . Hopton , saluting the D . P . G . M . with the usual honours . The business before the Lodge was confined to a passing , and the Worshipful Master , Bro . Foster , assisted by his Officers , performed the ceremony in an able and efficient mauner . The Worshipful Master , in a few well chosen
remarks of welcome to the D . P . G . M ., said that he could assure the W . D . P . G . M . that the br < thren of the York Lodge were very much pleased when they received the notification of his visit , and with one accord resolved to do their utmost to ensure him a hearty welcome , and he was quite sure that into whatever Lodge in that Province bin
duties might and would lead him , whatever the external evidences of welcome might be , and however other Lodges might excel in this respect , none would be more heartfelt , none more sincere , than that of the York Lodge . The W . D . G . P . M . thanked the Worshipful Master and brethren of the York Lodge , not only for their cordial welcome
but also for the many kind congratulations they had accorded him on his appointment to the office he held . On this , his first visit to the York Lodge , he thought it his duty to congratulate the brethren upon that judicious government which had gradually caused its progress and increase in wealth and influence . Each year saw the
Lodge more firmly established . Possessed of a very valuable and beautiful freehold hall , well appointed and enriched with the possession of most valuable archives and Masonic antiquities of world-wide reputation , with a large number of members find a strong and influential Board of Past Masters ( tho very rock on which a Lodge is
sustained ) , snch a Lodge may indeed be congratulated . As mi ^ ht have been expected with all its great privileges , the York Lodge has not been unmindful of its responsibilities , and had steadily contributed to the funds of the Masonic Charit es , in all of which it possesses a large number of votes . With a history extending
considerably over a century , and a reputation for maintaining the honour and dignity of the Craft in the ancient city of York , it would doubtless be the constant endeavour of the brethren who from time to time occupied the Master ' s chair to maintain the prestige of the Lodge , and he trusted this ever would be the case . By a wise discretion in
the selection of candidates , a judicious election of Worshipful Masters , and , above all , by constantly remembering that the end and aim of Masonry was the communication of happiness to each other , and that this would be best attained by carrying out in their fullest sense the great mottoes of the Craft—Brotherly Love , Relief , and Truth .
Hearty good wishes were then tendered by the vadous visitincr brethren , and Lodge being closed , the assembly adjourned to the banqneting hall of the Lodge , where an excellent supper had been provided by Bro . Calvert , the Tyler , in his usual style . The Worshipful Master presided , and commenced the toast list with theQaeen
and the Craft , this was followed by the toast of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Most Worshipful Grand Master and the Officers of Grand Lodge , the Worshipful Master said this toast needed no recommendation to the York brethren , for they knew the deep interest His Royal Highness took in Masonry and that he had the cause at
heart , he was glad to see a member of Grand Lodge present , viz ., the Dean of York , who was also Chaplain of the York Lodge , and he had pleasure in coupling his name with the toast . Bro . the Very Rev . the Dean P . G . C . returned thanks for the Most Worshipful Grand Master and Grand Lod ge , and referred to the past , the present , and
the future of Masonry . Around the walls of the Lodge he saw numerons portraits of those brethren of the past , whose interest in , and services to , Masonry yet lived , and amongst them was that of the late Earl of Zetland , a brother who in his lifetime was an earnest worker for Masonry , and who as such was respected as much in the
south as in the north . With regard to the present , Masons from all parts of the world looked up to the Most Worshipful Grand Master , not in the spirit of toadyism , knowing that he was a true brother
taking a great interest in Freemasonry , and ever ready to aid its uudeitakmgs and doing always the rigiit thing in the ri ght place . Ttie luture reminded him of the American saying , " don ' t prophesy unless you know , " but he ventured to say the composition of the
Notice Of Meetings.
Grand Lodge to-day pointed to the continued prosperity of Masonry . The Dean concluded by thanking the brethren for the cordial reception they had given the toast . The next toast was that of the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master Bro . the Earl of Zetland , and the Deputy Provincial Grand Master . In proposing this toast , the
Worshipful Master spoke of the great interest the P . G . M . took in Masonry , and the desire he had for the success of tho Lodges under his rule . With regard to the D . P . G . M . the Worshipful Master expressed the great pleasuro that tho York Lodge had experienced in receiving him that day , and mentioned that his appointment had
