common enjoyment and progress . On behalf of the members and myself , ' I thank the P . G . G . for tho part they havo taken in to-days ceremony . It must be a source of great pleasure to them and every true Freemason to find another temple added and dedicated for the teaching of peace and good will towards men . Looking at the fearful carnage which went on , and will probable in a few days again resume its desolation on the Continent , it is

indeed joyful to find that Freemasonry , whose main object is to strengthen the charitable ties , and to knit the whole human row- into one family , is making such progress , which must eventually put an end to the divisions and hatred amongst nations , and the prophecy of Isiab , "And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares , anel their cp < m « o "' to pruning- hooks , nation oiiail woe me up sivords again nation , neither shall they learn war any more , " will be fulfilled . In conclusion , I beg

once more to assure the members that I shall work diligently for the Craft in general , and this lodge in particular . Several other toasts followed , and the evening was brought to a happy close shortly before 11 o ' clock p . m .
