The blessing of the Great Architect had been asked upon the building , and it would be the duty of those managing the work to see that those employed at it had employment for their souls as well as their bodies . He trusted that no accident would ever occur at the work's , and that all
connected * . with it would prosper . His Lordship again thanked the deputations who had attended to assist at the ceremony Bro . Shields then stepped forward and thanked his Lordship for presiding at the ceremony , and also the brethren for their attendance . He felt it a very great honour indeed to have his new work begun under such
flattering circumstances , and he would never forget it . The brethren of No . 3 , as well as all his workpeople and himself , were more than pleased with the large attendance of the brethren from other places . He thanked those brethren most heartily . Bro . Shields then presented Bro . Lord Kinnaird , in a few neat and appropriate sentences , with a very handmome trowel , which bore the
following inscription : — " In commemoration of the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Wallace Factory , Perth , llth July 1868 , this trowel , used for the occasion , is presented , with feelings of gratitude , to ° the Right Honourable George William Fox , Lord Kinnaird , K .

The handle of the trowel was of solid ivory , and the trowel was richly engraved aud chased , It was supplied by Mr . Baird , jeweller , George-street , Perth , and was very creditable to his skill .

THE DINNER . A dinner took place in the City Hall immediately thereafter . Bro . Lord Kinnaird presided , and he was supported right and left by the Grand Chaplain ( Eev . Bro . Cochrane ) , Bros .

The first intimation he received of the proposal was whether he would allow the brethren of the Scone and Perth to make arrangements for laying
the foundation stone of his new factory with Masonic honours .

offering a few extracts . "Thou silent tongue , thou list ' ning ear , Thou anchor hope , thou blazing star , Thou triple lights , that always shine , Thou holy writings , all divine , Thou altar , where we bow the knee As worshippers of Deity
, Can ' st thou control the immortal mind ? Can ' st thou the human passions bind—Ambition , avarice , malice , pride ? Can'st thou these hateful passions hide ? Fit the rough ashlar for a place In God's most glorious work of grace ? "
" ' Tis hoped , through thy broad reign of peace , That wars throughout the world will cease ; That love and joy , from shore to shore , Will rid this earth of human gore , As Masons love a worthy brother . That Jews and Gentiles will unite To worship God with pure delight
, And spread o ' or earth His knowledge far , By that mysterious blazing star . " # # ft fc" Prepare the floats from Lebanon , In Joppa let the work be done . Take the rough ashlar , have it raised , And lot the Master ' s work be praised ;
Number the finished marble stone , Inscribe your mystic mark when done , And then the outside world can see The beauties of Freemasonry . " # # # & " 0 1 mystic brotherhood arise , Thy ladder stretches to the skies ;
By its mysterious rounds we see Our faith , and hope , and charity . Here esoteric beauties tower—Faith looks beyond tlie dying hour ; Hope , like an anchor to the soul , . t Will all our fear and foes controul ; And charity , that heavenly guest , Will soothe the weary heart to rest
, And spread its peaceful mantle where A suffering brother needs our care . . ; . . Then o'er the globe , from shore to shore , Where mountains rise or oceans roar , A Master Mason there may find A present help , a kindred mind . Thuslet each brother try to live
