Foster "White ' s health was given in the course of the evening , sincerely congratulating him on his election to the treasurership of Christ ' s Hospital , for which he returned thanks in a most manly and eloquent speech , in which it is only necessary to call attention to one fact , evincing at once his independence , and the honourable manner of his election , that he never solicited a single vote . Bro . Crew not only acknowledged
the toast of the Masonic Charities in his usual happy strain , but favoured the Brethren with two or three of his delightful songs , which he gave with unparalleled sweetness . It is impossible to quit the subject of this Lodge , without noticing not only the anxious desire of every member to be happy himself , and conduce to the happiness of others , but also to the praiseworthy efforts of the Officers to work well , and attain that perfection , without which the effect of our beautiful ceremonies is frequently marred , creating other than what they should do—a favourable and indelible impression on the minds of the candidates .
