Metropolitan.

every true . Mason , and that every true Mason always places it first and foremost amongst his Masonic duties : that , in fact , noting gives linn greater or more unfeigned delight than to have it in his power to assist in every good work ' connected with our Oraev . And I would especially desire to impress this upon our brother initiates . They are very young Masons vet , and it is . veil they should always remember that amongst Masons Charit firstandWorshi

y was ; , pful Sir , Charity , as interpreted by Masons , has a very different signification to that which generally attaches to it outside the Order . Cliaritv in our acceptation of the term reall y means this , that every " brother who has it in his power to give , gives , and gives cheerfully , so . hat if any misfortune should overtake him , as it does sometimes overtake those who least expect it , brethren whose position in tneworlil warranted and

seems secure , they may have the right , and they have the right , to turn and say , » Brethren , assist us ;" ana that request never has , and never will be preferred in vain . Bemg connected with the Boys'School in an official capacity , I can speak from actual experience . I have known many cases where applications have been made for admissions of boys into our schools whose parents onl short time before

y a were in affluent , nay , opulent circumstances , some of them actually in receipt of incomes amounting to as much as £ 5 , 000 a year ; but whilst in possession of this great wealth the Great Architect ot the Universe has suddenly called them away , and their families have been left in absolute want . In this strait the children have been brought to us , and » -e have received tiicin . 1 sincerely hope that all Masonic Charities will

our increase and prosper . One thing I know-tliey can always depend on the entire and hearty support ofthe Belgrave Lodge . In conclusion , I beg again , on behalf of myself and my brother visitors , to return you our best thanks .

Bro . Mugger . d ge followed in a long and interesting speech , m which he endorsed all that had been said by Bvo . Knckes , and also strongly advocated the cause of the Girls' School . Bro 1 otter then rose and proposed " The Health of the li ' . lf . " in wL H T' T With g , ' ° p ] raSU , " ' Bnd ! fM P roud n having the honour to propose the health of our W . M . I beg to congratulate having elected brother

you on a who is so highly qualified to discharge the duties of your W . M . His n „ ?' ¦ 1 T ' - ; 00 n discrimination , quick perception , and sound judgment , will enable him at all times , I am sure to maintain and establish the position of our lodge , aud to defend its honour and reputation .

Hie U . M . then rose and said : Worshipful Sir and Brethren ,-l ueg most sincerel y to thank you for the kind manner in which J ou have _ been pleased to respond to the toast of mv health tins evening . Bro . Potter has spoken of me in very t ' latrering WfT y .. 7 r " , :, ' y say ' ° i' ^ tering-but I can " assure von , biethren , that I have looked forward for many years for " the time when I should occupy the proud position in which von nave done me the honour to lace

p me this evening . It will be my earnest endeavour during my year of office to maintain the honour and dignity ot the Belgrave Lodge as transmitted to me . i can rely 1 know , upon the able assistance of the P . M .

Lro . Potter said : . Yorshipful Master and brethren , I feel )< -i \ much the honour you have conferred upon me -,.. ; , ,.,- „ ,. ; .. -. m prcsentrng me with this jewel . Believe me , I . hrli a ^ avs . ; , V " n , ement 0 ot ' •«"' ' . ^ '' Mt kindness and value it very ghly During my year of ollice , I have aiw :, vs : „ .,-., nva ^ l « . th the most mvanahle kindness h y the brethren , a ... received iom my brother olncers very able assistance . I si . aii , I assure you treasure up in my memory the occurrences of rlie past _ m ^ TV " ' " fr al , y thG ° ™« K « of this evening , as amongst the most pleasant of my life .

Tho W . Master then rose and proposed " The Health of the Past Masters . " He said : Brethren , no toast of the evening has afforded me more pleasure than the one I have now to propose , viz ., the health of the P . M . 's of this lodge . They are well known to you all , but they are not so well known to yon all as they deserve to he , nor as I am anxious they should be . and this observation . more especially applies ' to our younger

brethren . I should particularly mention the brethren whose names appear upon the warrant of our lodge , viz ., Bros . Woodstock , Frond , limiting , Grogan , and Evenden , and to whom , in fact , the lodge itself owes its very existence , for it is So their exertions , both past and present , that tho lodge now occupies the proud position amongst lodges that it does . I must also not omit to mention the " honour conferred upon the lodge in the of

person Bro . Ough , by his being elected to till the office of Assist . G . Purst . in Grand Lodge ; nor overlook the continued and indefatigable exertions of Bro . Garrod , P . M ., Sec . Bro . Froud rose to reply , and said : Worshipful sir and brethren , I have never upon any occasion , since I have been connected with this lodge , risen to reply to a toast with so much pleasure . Y ' ou have been pleased to refer to the exertions made by me and the other P . M . 's particularly mentioned by you , for

the welfare of this lodge , and it occurred to me that our feelings , ou hearing those expressions fall from your lips , were in somo degree similar to those experienced by the proprietors of England ' s leading journal , on an occasion which will be precious to the minds of many present , when for . ' rendering the public a great service , they were offered n magnificent testimonial in return , whicli they declined in these terms , pointing to the broadsheet which lay before them"We are content great

, , our reward is to be able to oiler you this , " and we say , r ' We are content , wo are satisfied with the result which appears before you this ni ght : we are amply rewarded for everything that we have done by seeing the lodge prosperous and happy . Worshipful Sir , I cannot help referring to our brother visitors and to the honour conferred upon us by their presence here this eveningand I would especially mention BroBinckes

, . , whose efforts on behalf of our Boys' School have been great indeed . I believe I am correct in saving that last year alone he collected for the school nearly £ 10 , 000 . He did this bv visiting many lodges in the kingdom , and pleading the cause with thai persuasive eloquence and deep feeling which he manifested thisevening in speaking if this his favourite theme . He is , I may say , amongst

Masons—The smooth-tongued chief , from whose persuasive lips Sweeter than honey flowed the stream of speech . There is also Bro . Muggeridge , to whom the Girls' School is greatly indebted , and who is always ready when any good work of charity is to be performed . " In conclusion , allow me to remi nd those brethren present , who were present at the consecration of the lodge ten years since , that the words I then uttered in

a spirit of prophecy with respect to our future prosperity have beeu more than accomplished ; and , if there still continues the same feeling of harmony amongst our Past Masters and members which has hitherto existed , the lodge will continue to flourish after we , its founders , have lonf passed away . = The W . M . proposed "The Health of our Brother Officers . " to which Bro . Bourne . S . W ., responded . The T yler ' s toast closed a most delightful and successful evening .

We must not omit to mention that some excellent singing by Bros , Parsons , Hester , 1 'ymm , __ c . served to enliven the meeting . Wnii'Tixci-t-os- LODGE ( Xo .
