Royal Arch Masonry In Alderney.

Royal Arch Masonry in Alderney .

COUP . JUDGE 1 SAHBKNSON . Probably there is no part of our home possessions of ¦ which the average Englishman knows so little as the Island of Alderney . Jersey and Guernsey they know , but beyond the view from the deck of the steamboat , this lovely island

is a name only . It is a very important place , however , with its magnificent harbour of refuge , and its commanding position as one of the fortified bulwarks of the British Isles . Be this as it may , however , it is quite certain that it is sufficientl y important to possess an excellent lodge , and now

a Royal Arch Chapter , which promises to be as good , has been established . Previous to the consecration of the chapter , a Provincial Grand Lodge was held in the State ' s Schools on the 28 th of August , which was attended by a large number of brethren ,

including many from Guernsey , the Provincial Grand Master , R . W . Bro . J . Balfour Cockburn , presiding , supported by the Provincial Grand Officers and visitors from Hampshire , Norwich , Jersey , & c .

GROUP OF FOUXDERS ()!• ' ST . ANN'S CHAPTER . No . flll'l .

After the formal opening of Provincial Grand Lodge , a procession was formed and proceeded to St . Ann ' s Church , where a most impressive service was conducted by the Revs . E . F . P . Colman and P . Mesney , the former giving an address on the " Beauty and Unity of Brotherly Love , " taking as his text the psalm cxxxii . A collection was taken

for the charities of St . Ann ' s Lodge , and the brethren returned , when the business of the Provincial Grand Lodge was proceeded with , at the close of which the ceremony of consecration of the St . Ann ' s Roval Arch Chapter was carried out b y the Grand Superintendent , Dr . Balfour

Cockburn , assisted by Comps . Colonel Price , R . A ., Dr . Corbin , Captain Arnold , R . A ., and J . W . Handing . The ceremony was perfectly rendered by the Grand Superintendent and his assistants . E . Comps . N . Barbenson , Judge of Alderney , Dr . Livesay , and N . Gaudan were duly installed Z , H ., and J ., respectively , and on the close of the chapter , the companions joined their brethren of the Craft at an excellent banquet .

. ' ( IMP . COLONEL PRICE . The whole of the proceedings were carried out in an admirable manner , the Provincial Grand Master receiving the heart y co-operation of his officers ,

while the zeal and energy of Bro . Xickolls , the Provincial Grand Secretary , on whom devolved the organisation and carrying out of all the proceedings , elicited warm praise from those present . In this connection it may be permitted

to us to say that Bro . Judge Barbenson , who was installed as First Principal , is the Chief Magistrate of the Island and a member of a famil y which has been associated with Alderney from time

immemorial . His father was one of the founders of St . Ann ' s Lodge , and he himself was also a founder and is a Past Provincial Grand Warden of the province . The Treasurer , Bro . Colonel
