Smith , and congratulated them upon the rising prosperity and widely-extending influence of the' Order . Rejoicing , as he did , in his acquisition of so great an jionour , lie could not , at the same time , refrain from emotions of sorrow at the thought of having gained it in the death of that great and good man and brother , Sir James Graham . Ho had taken a life-long interest in the high principles of Masonry , and that interest was increased tenfold by the responsibility which had been imposed upon him
that day . The brethren with one voice pronounced their unanimous accord with this sentiment . The AV . M . then proceeded to appoint his officers for the ensuing year , as follows : — - Bros .
