P . G . J . D ., Herts , and Seeretary to the St . Mark ' s Lodge , No . 1 , were introduced with good effect :
*>—OPENING HYMN . Grace this Lodge , Great Overseer , With all Thy pure and earnest truth , That it may flourish thro' all time , Ever in unabated youth . Bless the advancing ones this night , That thro' their lives they'll on ward go , Marking their progress by the light
Acknowledged , and derived from Y ~ ou Their mark in hand , Thy mark at heart ; Oli [ may they ever constant prove , And in all time and circumstance , Unite in brotherhood and love .
CLOSING HYMN . Have we mark'd well , Great Overseer , A work to last beyond all time , Each his allotted task fulfilled , The glory and the praise be Thine . In this degree we find the truth ,
On earth below , in heaven above , The corner-stone of every work Should be unselfish , lasting Love . Still will we work , and working pray , Trusting that in a better land , Our Mystic key-stone may be raised , And fitted by Thy Master hand .
We have pleasure in recommending for adoption in all regularly constituted Mark Lodges the above hymns , to which Bro . Hart has composed most suitable and effective music , and which will be forthwith published for the benefit of Brethren at a distance . At the close of the business the Brethren adjourned to a very elegant banquet—and in the course of the evening various congratulatory speeches , on the progress the Order and the Lodge were making , were delivered ; and Bro . Warren , the B . W . M ., who had joined the Lodge in a late period of the proceedings , expressed the gratification he felt—a gratification which he was sure
every Brother present would participate in , in knowing that the Lodge was about to become the parent of many others—applications have been already made to the Grand Chapter of Scotland for two , if not three new Charters , through which their principles would be extended throughout England . He might mention that one of these Charters would be granted to three Brethren advanced in the St . Mark ' s Lodge , from Bolton in Lancashire—and would , he believed , be called the St . John ' s Lodge . Avery agreeable meeting having been spent , the Brethren separated at an early hour .
Bolton , Lancashire . —^ . John ' s Lodge of Marie Masters ( No . 2 ) . — We have been favoured with a view of the very beautiful Lodge jewels intended for the above Lodge , which is expected to be opened in the course of the month . The emblem of each Officer is of gold , mounted upon a back of solid silver , shaped as a key stone . Bro . John Mott Thearle is the designer and manufacturer of the jewels , which reflect the highest credit on him as an artist .
