And finally, Right Worshipiul Sir, we join as it is our duty to do, and as our brethren hand done. in all ages in ascribing all glory to the most High. and invoking His aid in ce- menting and adorning our order with every moral and social virtue that so we may hereafter individually ap- pear in that. perfection of character which is figuratively represented in our order as a superb and stately edifice, a temple of the Most Highâ€"â€" an house not made with hands eter- nal in the. heavens. Aproved and adopted by unanimous resolution at a regular communicaâ€" tion of the above lodge. held on the. fifth day of October in the year of light 5900. His Honor Judge Harding then made a feeling and suitable reply. He. outlined the. tenets of the (-rrler and p0 nted .Out that. all were bandâ€" ed together to build up each others character. If a member should beâ€" come addicted to any vice it was the duty of his brethren to warn him of his danger. It. was their duty to do unto others as they would have done unto themselves. No other order has been able to work in harmony so long as masonry. and every Mason should be proud of the work accomâ€" plished. He thanked the brethren heartily on behalf of himself and family for the honor done him as a visitor and member of the order. After the lodge was regularly clos- ed an adjournment was made to the. spacious dining-room of the Royal hotel. The Banquet Mine llost McComiell had made every preparation to welcome his guests The dining-room was beauti- fully decorated throughout while the tables looked very attractive in- deed. Mr. R. J.

After full justice had been done the tempting viands. the cloth was removed and letters of reâ€" gret were read from Grand Master R. lone, Toronto; P.G.M. Ross Robert- B.~ Hungerford. London; P.G.M.
