Provincial Lodges.

six Lodges in Adelaide , and three in its neighbourhood . He gave the toast of "The Right Worshipful D . P . G . M ., Br . Rolls , and the P . G . officers . " ( Cheers . ) Br . Rolls returned thanks . The Chairman said want of time forbade him giving the gentlemen he was about to name separately . He gave them the " Grand Masters of the provinces of Hereford , Oxford , Australia , and Bengal . " ( Cheers . ) Dr . Bowles briefly responded .

Br . Lyne said , amongst the numerous toasts of the evening , none were more interesting than that of "TheP . G . C . Brother Roberts . " ( Cheers . ) He knew he had only to mention the name to elicit their approbation , and to show how clearly Brother Roberts ivas beloved by his brethren . They were under the deepest obligation to him for being present on the occasion ; and those who had the opportunity of hearing his admirable sermon , would agree with him ( Mr . Lyne ) that no other man in this province had done more to induce worthgood men to become Masons than he

y had . With all earnestness he gave the toast . ( Loud cheers . ) The Rev . Chaplain said , the kindness ivith which they had received the toast connected with his name showed that the old feeling of Monmouthshire still remained , verdant as ever , flourishing as ever , and that nothing in the world could possibly separate that feeling of good fellowship which had been established ; ancl though time and space might have separated them , still the good old feeling remained , and he could not forsake old friends . Reminiscences and associations of those bonds

which bound them together in the bond of charity and by the tie of love prompted him to make an effort to be present on that occasion ; and he felt it would be well to visit his brethren , especially when he heard ivhat preparations were being made . He resolved to give himself up to them that day , whatever inconvenience he might experience , and again receive those smiles and shakes of the hand which were . an index to what was felt by the heart . The Right Worshipful the G . M . had told them that- time and tide waited for no man ; neither would railways nor telegraphs , or one of their excellent friends would have been present , but he was summoned to a distant

place by the telegraph that morning ; and because time was on the iving he ¦ would not detain them , or he might talk at great length were he to yield to those ¦ feelings which were suggested by a visit to Monmouthshire . There was something in Monmouthshire which always entwined itself around his heart . It was in Monmouthshire that he first associated himself with Masonry . He was glad to say that the sun of Masonry had risen at Newport , the intellectual powers of which town were developing themselves every clay , and in nothing more so than in Masonry ,

taking this day as an exponent of the intellect of Newport . He could recollect when the Newport Lodga was not recognised as it was now , but a change hacl taken place , and now it had become the centre and focus of the Masonic genius and mind . As they passed along in the procession , he said to his friend that that beat what they undertook when the Newport docks were opened . There was no such gathering on that occasion , when the Masonic body quietly gave in their adhesion at the nuptials of the U-k and the Severn . On this occasion , by the manner in which Newport had

come out , it was in effect saying , "These are the men in whom we can trust . " He was sure that none but Masons could have produced such a mark of admiration as had been afforded , and have passed through such living walls and received such acclamations in voice and heart as they hacl clone . ( Cheers . ) He often looked back to the period when he became a Mason . A friend ^ f his said , " You had better become a Mason . " " What is Masonry ? " " Well , I don ' t know what it is ; try it . " ( Laughter . ) His worthy Brother , Alec . Rolls , and he did try it , and he was sure it

was very nice indeed . ( Loud cheers . ) Having noticed , in approving terms , the ¦ manner in which Brother Chilcott worked for the Provincial Lodge , he concluded his remarks by drawing attention to the charities of the Order , and said he was sure it would be gratifying to their chairman if something were done by the brethren towards carrying out the Sussex Memorial , wliich was proposed to be effected by the addition of a wing to one of the London hospitals . ( Cheers . ) Dr . Bowles thanked Mr . Roberts for introducing the subject of the Sussex Memorial . He had been domestic chaplain to the late Duke , and knowing His Royal
