The Canynge Society's Anniversary.
THE CANYNGE SOCIETY'S ANNIVERSARY .
HESTOEATION OE THE LADYE CHAPED OE ST . 31 ARY RBDCDIEF BRISTOL . The Canynge Society , which was established in the year 1848 , to promote the restoration of St . 31 ary Redcliff Church , held its annual meeting on the 21 st inst . It is usual to celebrate the anniversary of the society in the month of November . In November lasthoweverthe vicar of St . 3 Iary Redcliff was
, , suffering from illness , and the anniversary was postponed in consequence of this circumstance . As usual , tbe tower of the venerable edifice was decorated with flags , and tbe bells rang merry peals at intervals throughout the day . Tho proceedings commenced with Divine service in the church . There was a
large and influential attendance , and among the congregation were a great number of Freemasons connected with the Bristol Province , all being in Masonic attire , and many of tbem wearing valuable 3 Iasonic jewels . The Masons of the Bristol Province some time since undertook to restore the Ladye Chapel of St . 3 fnry Redcliff , and this work being now completed , they determined to embrace the opportunity presented by the holding of the society ' s anniversary of making a formal record of the work
that had been accomplished . It happened , too , that the president of the Canynge Society for the year was Bro . W . A . F . Powell , the D . Prov . G . 31 ., so that there were very cogent reasons for the presence of the 3 Iasons in strong numbers at the church . The Freemasons assembled in Colston ' s-rooms about a quarter past twelve o ' clock , and headed by the Prov . G . M . the Right Hon . the Earl of Limerick , and other officers holding high rank in the district , formed a procession and entered the
church at the west door . To the principal officers of the fraternity were allotted scats on the north side of tbe nave ; the remainder of the brethren occupied the south transept . The Right Worshipful the Mayor ( Mr . W . K . AVait ) and the Mayoress were also in church— his worship wearing his robes and gold chain of office—and also Alderman and 3 Irs . Adams , Alderman Hare , Alderman Baker , Alderman Green , Mr . J . Hare , 31 r . W . P . King , 31 r . C . S . Clarke , and other leading inhabitants of B . istol .
The sermon was preached by the Rev . R . J . Simpson 3 I , A ., rector of St . Clement Dunes , and P . G . Chap , of the Freemasons of England . The rev . gentleman founded his discourse upon 3 Iark xvi ., 3— "And they said among themselves , who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre . " Addressing himself to the brethren of the 31 asonic order present , the preacher observed that they ( the Masons ) had to some extent aided in the work of restoration . Right glad was he to
find that amongst the foremost in the work stood bis brethren of that venerable order , who had ever been the foremost upholders of England's throne , of . England ' s Church , and of England ' s most cherished institutions . Their ancestors for many successive ages had aided in rearing some of the most useful and magnificent structures that were to be found in this world , and not least had they erected temples for the worship of God , commencing with the incomparable sanctuary that once rested upon the Hill of Sion , for though
No sound was heard , no ponderous axes rung , Like some tall palm tbe noiseless fabric sprung . It was works like those that would commend 3 Iasonry to the approval of mankind , and would show that they were worthy of their Masonic forefathers ; for they made it a prime tenet of their order to roll back the stone which ignorance or faithlessness , or corruptionhad laid over the tomb of immortal manand to
re-, , veal a bright and eternal future to the human soul , and to break that black seal with which superstition had sought to secure the mind and enslave the reason in a chamber of darkness worse than that of the sepulchre . The preacher proceeded to say that what had been done in connection with that grand work of restoration had been done right well and worthily , not only in regard to the liberality , but iu respect to the general features of that
noble church and that beautiful chapel , to be handed over that day , the peculiar work of the 31 asons , and a worthy offering to the Mighty Architect , who watched over tbem and guided all their affairs .
A collection was then taken , after which the clergy , the members of the Corporation , and the Freemasons proceeded to the newly and beautifully-restored Lady Chapel . Tbe Bishop , Clergy , and Corporation ranged themselves down one side of the chapel , and the Masons along the other side . So many of the lady and other members of the congregation for whom room could bo found were admitted afterwards , and they occupied the small space near the entrance that was not filled by t , he official personages before alluded to . AA'hen all hod taken their places , Provincial Grand Registrar , Bro . Bramble , read the following document : —
