After the ceremony about three hun- dred of the brethren adjourned to the banquet Hall. Dinner was followed by a list of foasts. Prof. B, XK. Sandwell, of Queen's University, was the chief guest and principal speaker. Prof, Sandwell, who always receives a welcome at any Kingston gathering, particularly if it is known that be is slpted to apeak, was in his usual good form, in spite of the fact that he admitted that he waa guifering from 2 younger and older people during the interval between the Christmas festivi- ties and the beginning of the New Year 'when it is customary to take stock of oneself financially and other- wise. The head of the English depart- ment of the university spoke for half an hour in his usual inimitable style, making-a subject of which a great deal is heard very interesting and creating much et thought. After prefac- ing his speech with a few minutes of pleasantry, Professor Sandwell direct- ed the thoughts of the Masons to the acknowledged fact the world Qver~ the lack of great men in the present age, for it is safe to say thatit.is the prevailing impression.

This, as he pointed out, does not apply alone in the sphere of poli- tics, but is also true in the realms i, philosophy and social life. r Sandwell, on the other hand, said that it is also very apparent that followers aresmot being born. At any rate the same qualities of "fallow er-ship" are not exhibited, us in the days of our fathers. Leaders are made by leading, by getting practice at lead- ing early in life, and folks these | fal responded to by W. Bro. Dr. L. |. Austin, During the course of the evening violin selections were pleasingly ren- dered by Mr. LiFrance, as well as yoeal solos by Brg, A. E. Bedford and Dr. P. M. Macdonnell. The music of the orchestra of 'Art Christmas' was much enjoyed during the course of the repast. Before closing the programme the toastmaster called upon two visitors, Bro. George A. Bipwan of Chalmers church, and Bro. J. B. MacKay, the sheriff of Cochrane, for a few re- marks. Prof. ©. A. Milner acted as ac- companist for the solists. OREATED A CANON. Rey.
