No P . M . had more riohly deserved the honour than Bro . King had > for whatever office he had occupied he had discharged his duties with care , courtesy , and ability . Bro . King briefly replied , cordially thanking the brethren for the valuable assistance they had given him during his year of office . The toast of " The Past Masters of Lodge Metham " was proposed by Bro . G . Perkins , and responded to by
Bro . Colonel Elliott , who reminded tho brethren that Lodge Metham was originated by himself . His reasons for doing so were these . He had been Master for two successive years of a Lodge abroad , and was then ordered home from a place where he found it absolutely impossible to fiud a Past Master in the whole community to whom he could entrust the warrant of that Lodge . There was nothing for
it but for him to bring home that warrant , and the AscenBion Lodge ceased to work from that time . He regretted very muoh the action he was called npon to take , but he did it in the conviction that he was acting rightly , and his action was ' approved by the Grand Lodge . He came to tho Three Towns , aud his first idea was that they wanted brethren in the services who would go through the chairs and become
Past Master , so that in the event of their going abroad any diffioul . ties suoh as he had mentioned might be obviated . Hence it was that the Metham Lodge was started , and he was glad to know that dnring all the years that had since gone by it had worked in perfeot harmony , and with continued Boccess . Bro . Dunn , who proposed the health of the Treasurer and the Seoretary of Lodge Metham ( Bros . D . Gross
and W . Powell ) , highly eulogised the services which they had for many years rendered to the Lodge . The brethre .-. -ere , he said , largely indebted to Bros . Cross and Powell for the splendid services they had rendered to the Lodge as its executive Officers , and the position whioh the Lodge occupied in the Province was largely due to the care and attention they had always paid to their duties . Bros ,
Cross and Powell briefly responded . The toast of "The Wardens and Assistant Officers " was proposed by Bro . Dixon , and acknowledged by Bros . Perkins S . W . and Hughes J . W . Bro . Cross proposed "Our Sister Lodges and Visiting Brethren . " He remarked that he knew of no other society in existence , except that of Freemasonry , the members of whioh conld go to any part of the world and claim
admission into a Lodge . Snob a privilege was , he believed , unique , and it was a privilege whioh all Masons ought to fully appreciate and valne . The toast was acknowledged by Bro . Major Diok S . W ., who , in the course of some practical remarks , strongly recommended the Masonio Hall to the support of the Lodges in the Three Towns . He believed that if the position of the hall was placed before the brethren of the Lodges of the Three Towns they would come to its
support , and add to its influence for good by subscribing the capital that yet remained to be taken up . There were , he believed , nearly twenty Lodges in the Three Towns , and if eaoh Lodge would do ita part there ought to be no difficulty in subscribing all the money that was required and thus adding to the usefulness of the Institution . There was a club in connection with the hall , and in his opinion every member of tbe club should be a shareholder in the hall . If that
wore done the shares would soon be subscribed and tho company would be placed in a sound financial position . Bro . Jew , in very appropriate terms , proposed " Masons' Wives and Sweethearts , " and the last toast was that of " Onr poor and distressed brethren , " given by Bro . Gidley . Before the proceedings terminated , Bro . Cross proposed a vote of thanks to Bro . Ewens for the trouble he had taken in so handsomely decorating tbe dining hall . Bro . Ewens had done
this at great inconvenience to himself , and had decorated the hall in a manner that did him the greatest possible credit . Bro . Perkins seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . During the evening the toasts were interspersed with songs and reoitations by Bros . Rawlings , Mutton , Kennedy , Hughes , Peek , Jew , Setters , and Menhinnick , and a specially attractive and enjoyable contribution was a clever whistling HOIO by Colonel Elliott , who accompanied himself on tbe piano .
