ASAPH LODGE ( No . 1319 ) . —Monday last witnessed a general assemblage of the brethren of this famous lodge , and thc muster was such as one might have expected in response to a summons issued b y that most popular of W . M . 's , Bro . Edward Swanborough . Young Masons in their earlier walks of life hear a great deal of what concerns other lodges , and it is a fact that the Lodge of Asaph
has been quoted over and over again as a model and a pattern lodge , so much so that the young idea , learning how to shoot , has acquired a healthy curiosity as to how things are done in this and other equally famous lodges . And wemay truly say that thc visitor to 1319 must go away with feelings of "emulation , " so admirably and excellently is the beautiful ritual of Freemasonry worked by the presiding
W . M . anel his officers . But we are anticipating . Punctuality in the recognition of the call eif time ( as stated on the summons ) is a sine <] ita non with the W . M . and brethren of Asaph Lodge , therefore , cela -, 'a sans dire in the matter of a prompt formation of the lodge , at the opening of which our note book records the presence of the following : Bros . Edward Swanborough ,
W . M .-, C Wellard , S . W . ; Harry Cox , J . W . ; Meyer Lutz , S . D . ; J . Maclean , J . D . ; Delavanti , " l . G . ; Gilbert , Tyler ; P . M . Chamberlain , acting Sec ; C , Tinney , Org . ; George Buckland , I . P . M . ; Past Masters Bros . Edward Terry , T . S . Jeykll , G . Org . ; G . Jenkinson , li . Frewin , W . A . Tinney ; Bros . Harry Bracey , Fairchild , Silverbeirg , R . Soutar , Max Klein , J . R . Egerton —
ligerton , anil others ; and amongst the visitors we noticed Bros . F . Walters , P . G . D . Mark ; H . M . Levey , P . M . iSS ; Justice Strokirk , iSS ; Ernest Smith , S . W . 1559 , and others , the whole attendance of brethren amounting to forty or thereabouts . Lodge having been opened , the minutes of the previous meeting were read anel confirmed , and the opening having been extended to the Second Degree , Bros . G , Jenkinson
and J . Strokirk ( Lodge of Joppa ) were introduced and examined . Their answers to the interrogatories of the W . M . proving eminently satisfactory ( indeed , it was patent that they had maele considerable progress in thc science ) , they were entrusted , and withdrew , the W . M . in the interim opening his lodge in the Thin ] Degree . Two candidates having duly passed through the hands of the Tyler , were
admitted , and raised to the Sublime Degree of M . M . lhe W . M ., whose zeal in Masonry is well known throughout the Craft , was never seen to better advantage than in the present issue ; indeed , Bro . Swanborough fairly rose to the occasion , and while thoroughly impressing the candidates by the solemnity with which he clothed the beautiful ceremony , delighted the brethren by his admirable working .
His officers fulfilled their allotted duties in the most exemplary manner ; indeed , the raising of the brethren in question may be characterised as perfect in its parts and solemn in its exemplification . The S . W . then proposed a vote of thanks to the W . M ., Bro . Edward Swanborough , for his having represented the lodge at the recent Masonic gathering in Cornwall , upon the occasion of the laying of the
foundation stone of Truro Cathedral by the Most Worshipful the Grand Master , and he moved that the same be in . scribeel on the inintites . This was seconded by lire ) . Terry , P . M ., and carried unanimously . Bro . Swanborough , in reply , slated that it had been remarked by his Bro . S . W . that lie ( the W . M . ) hail been at some pains and trouble in journeying some hundreds of miles into a remote
corner of the United Kingdom in order that the Lodge of Asaph should be representee ! at one of the most important Masonic gatherings the world bad ever witnessed .

ASAPH LODGE ( No . 1319 ) . —Monday last witnessed a general assemblage of the brethren of this famous lodge , and thc muster was such as one might have expected in response to a summons issued b y that most popular of W . M . 's , Bro . Edward Swanborough . Young Masons in their earlier walks of life hear a great deal of what concerns other lodges , and it is a fact that the Lodge of Asaph
has been quoted over and over again as a model and a pattern lodge , so much so that the young idea , learning how to shoot , has acquired a healthy curiosity as to how things are done in this and other equally famous lodges . And wemay truly say that thc visitor to 1319 must go away with feelings of "emulation , " so admirably and excellently is the beautiful ritual of Freemasonry worked by the presiding
W . M . anel his officers . But we are anticipating . Punctuality in the recognition of the call eif time ( as stated on the summons ) is a sine <] ita non with the W . M . and brethren of Asaph Lodge , therefore , cela -, 'a sans dire in the matter of a prompt formation of the lodge , at the opening of which our note book records the presence of the following : Bros . Edward Swanborough ,
W . M .-, C Wellard , S . W . ; Harry Cox , J . W . ; Meyer Lutz , S . D . ; J . Maclean , J . D . ; Delavanti , " l . G . ; Gilbert , Tyler ; P . M . Chamberlain , acting Sec ; C , Tinney , Org . ; George Buckland , I . P . M . ; Past Masters Bros . Edward Terry , T . S . Jeykll , G . Org . ; G . Jenkinson , li . Frewin , W . A . Tinney ; Bros . Harry Bracey , Fairchild , Silverbeirg , R . Soutar , Max Klein , J . R . Egerton —
ligerton , anil others ; and amongst the visitors we noticed Bros . F . Walters , P . G . D . Mark ; H . M . Levey , P . M . iSS ; Justice Strokirk , iSS ; Ernest Smith , S . W . 1559 , and others , the whole attendance of brethren amounting to forty or thereabouts . Lodge having been opened , the minutes of the previous meeting were read anel confirmed , and the opening having been extended to the Second Degree , Bros . G , Jenkinson
and J . Strokirk ( Lodge of Joppa ) were introduced and examined . Their answers to the interrogatories of the W . M . proving eminently satisfactory ( indeed , it was patent that they had maele considerable progress in thc science ) , they were entrusted , and withdrew , the W . M . in the interim opening his lodge in the Thin ] Degree . Two candidates having duly passed through the hands of the Tyler , were
admitted , and raised to the Sublime Degree of M . M . lhe W . M ., whose zeal in Masonry is well known throughout the Craft , was never seen to better advantage than in the present issue ; indeed , Bro . Swanborough fairly rose to the occasion , and while thoroughly impressing the candidates by the solemnity with which he clothed the beautiful ceremony , delighted the brethren by his admirable working .
His officers fulfilled their allotted duties in the most exemplary manner ; indeed , the raising of the brethren in question may be characterised as perfect in its parts and solemn in its exemplification . The S . W . then proposed a vote of thanks to the W . M ., Bro . Edward Swanborough , for his having represented the lodge at the recent Masonic gathering in Cornwall , upon the occasion of the laying of the
foundation stone of Truro Cathedral by the Most Worshipful the Grand Master , and he moved that the same be in . scribeel on the inintites . This was seconded by lire ) . Terry , P . M ., and carried unanimously . Bro . Swanborough , in reply , slated that it had been remarked by his Bro . S . W . that lie ( the W .
