Consecration Of The Kennington Chapter, No. 1381.
more charitable , better disposed to one another , than even Craft Masonry taught them to be ; and if that was done it was something for them to say they had' arrived at the summum bonum of Masonry . It had been said , in the course of the evening , lhat as an honorary member of the chapter it would give the brethren pleasure to see him among them whenever he could spare thc time , and in answer to that kind invitation he would savthathe should
feel much pleasure in attending . Comp . Everett then gave the toast of " The Visitors , " to which Comp . Levander , in his reply , observed that in addition to the pride he felt at being a visitor he felt highly honoured by being elected an honorary member of the chapter . It had been a source of much gratification to him to see the chapter started on its career under such happy auspices . He had no doubt the
chapter would succeed , and he hoped that it would increase and flourish , be an ornament to the Ciaft and useful to the Fraternity . Comp . Ferguson also replied , and referred to his long connection with the M . E . Z . in other lodges and chapters . He reiterated the opinions of Comp . Levander , and believed that the Kennington Chapter was destined to take a foremost rank in the list of chapters under
the English Constitution . Comp . E . J . Page , replying to the toast of " H , " would like to have said more than time permitted at present , but he would remark that as long as Comps . Everett and Mann worked together with him and the other officers of the chapter in the same way as in the lodge , he could prognosticate a great future for the chapter . Comp . W . Mann endorsed the observations of Comp .
Page , and added that knowing the success of the Kennington Lodge a few companions thought it would not be perfect unless it had a chapter attached to it . It was with this idea that the Kennington Chapter was started . The companions selected to preside over it for the first year had been carefully chosen , and they would all do their best to usher in a season of usefulness for the Order which they
might contemplate hereafter with pride and satisfaction . Comp . Everett then proposed "The Masonic Charities . " Loyalty and Charity beingthe watchwords of the Order he did not think the companions ought to separate without remembering the Charities . A representative of one of those Charities , Comp . Terry , was present . The companions knew very well all about those
Institutions , and the good work they were doing , so that it was unnecessary to sa *) more about them . Comp . Terry , in reply , said that the Masonic Charities were the backbone of Freemasonry . Without the Institutions he did not know where Freemasonry would be . Freemalsons mig ht be able to say they were a benevolent orelera philanthropic institution , doing this or that good ,
, but unless they had their own , Girls' School , Boys' School , and Benevolent Institution , t | ey would not be able to show the good they were doing . The Institutions bad done an enormous amount of good ' during years gone by . At the present time the Girls' School maintained , clothed and educated 200 girls , the Boys' School 210 boys , and the Benevolent Institution hatfftoo annuitants . Each ana
all were , therefore , doing good work ; but like all other institutions they could not get on without money . In » song which had just been sung it was said , " I never feel my heart so good as when drinking , drinking , drinkin g ;" but as Secretary to the Benevolent Institution he never felt his heart so good as when the brethren were giving , giting , git ing . It was a grand thing for the companions to
give . It was a grand thing for the Institution to receive ; it was also a grand thing for the Craft to know that in giving they were alleviating suffering , and it was a grand thing for those who had the disposal of the funds to be able to show those who contiibuted the good tbat was done by their gifts . It was a grand thing to have it in one ' s power to give ; it was a grand thing
also to know that the brethren had hearts to give . It was a grand thing for the Institutions to know that if there was a case of necessity that needed aid , funds would be forthcoming , and it was a grand thing for those who distributed the money to be able to tell the contributors of the gratitude of the recipients cf those funds . In all the Institutions there were peculiar claims < m
everyone ' s sympathies—some always supported the girls , and naturally so , they were the weaker portion of humanitythe Girls' School was the oldest of thc Institutions , and one that must always commend itself to a Freemason's heart . It was the most attractive of all the Institutions . Go down to Wandsworth Common , and . they would see and be surprised at the good that was done there . Go to
the Boys' School , at Wood Green , and there was something more to commend itself than at Croydon . But , after all , age had its beauty as well as youth . We like to look on youth budding forth in the Spring time of life ; but , after all , there was something very glorious in what was seen in Autumn . Look at the splendour of the setting sun : so it was in the ending of a virtuous life . Then
why should not support be extended to the old men and old wjmen to make them happy and comfortable ? It was a great privilige for Freemasons to contribute to the welfare and support of declining life . It had been his privilege for fifteen years lo speak on behalf of the old folks , and he trusted that for fifteen years more . he might do so , and that this Institution would secure a strong hold of the
hearts of Freemasons . Ninety-one" years ago , the Girls ' School was established ; eighty-one ycars ago the Boys ' School was founded -, and it was not until both of them had a firm hold on the Craft that the Masons bestirred themselves and asked their brethren to start an Institution to support the aged . If they had started their own first the brethren
would have looked upon them as a selfish lot , but it was / " * not so : the girls and boys were first looked after , and right ^ royally did the Craft afterwards establish the Benevolent (/ Institution . They had done their very best for it , and he J hoped and wished they would never relax in their efforts on its behalf . There was a peculiar pleasure in responding to this toast at the Consecration ol the Kennington Chapter , because tbe Principal Sojourner , Comp . Walls , was Steward of the Kennington Lodge at the next festival of tbe aged

Institution . If any of the companions had a stray £ 5 note , in his pocket that he did not know what to do with , he ( Comp . Terry ) would recommend him to give it to Comp . Walls to put on his list . He would also recommend the same course to companions who had any superfluous cash If they cast their bread upon the waters they should . find it after many days . Give £ 5 this year , and they would get
. £ 50 next year . The largest donor to the Institutions religiously set aside one-tenth of his income to charities . On the last day of the old year he made up his books and struck a balance . If he found that he had not given a tenth he gave away , in the next three or four days , the remainder of the tenth to the Masonic Institutions in addition to what he had given before . Comp . Terry thought that if other
companions would do the same thing it would be a noble achievement . He advised every Mason to give five shillings a year to each Institution , and added that if they did the Institutions would never require a festival or an election , as they would be able to meet every demand made
upon them . The remainder of the toasts were then given before the companions adjourned . A beautiful selection of music was given by Comps . Lawler , Canter , Cozens and Large , in the intervals between the toasts .
The installation meeting of the Crichton Lodge , No . 1641 , was held on Saturday last . Bro . Andrew Middlemas in a very able and skilful manner installed Bro .
