Lewis pas taken , quite riby sur prise, as *hi was kept in entire igno rance of the affair, which added all the snore to its interest. Judge Gibson, on presenting these tokens of fraternal appreciation, spoke as follows: “Esteemed Bbother Lewis: . / j .“In behalf of the Brethren of Webb*a Ledge, it affords me great pleasure to present yon with this, the Master’s Jewel, Collar and Apron, in token of their Hgh esteem and appreciation or your long, efficient and faithful services as their v Worshipful.Master. Whilst mem ory lasts, you will ever be cherished by the brotherhood *, and as a living mani festation and memento of our high es teem for you, this presentation and offer ing is made. This Jewel, When worthily worn, is of priceless value —-you know Hi significance. This pure white Apron, the emblem of innocence and virtue, is to a Mason also precious. Accept them, thejymy Brother, at their true Masonic value, and you will then have but a faint idea of the esteem in which you are held by the Brethren. Your wise coun sels, dignified deportment, pure life, and charitable band, have made a lasting impression upon us all, and we trust that many have been profited thereby. “Silence and secrecy have long-been cardinal virtues with Masons. It is true Omniscience speaks; but how 7 As the fragrance of the rose is diffused, and os the sun imparts its rays, so Creation itself came forth, as permeated in si lence ; and the sun, moon and stars move in their gigantic Orbits with almost lightning, speed, and yet in profound silence I Nature, both animate and in afeiqatq, gushes forth ju all bee varied forms of beauty, grandeur and magnifi cence, yet still in silence I “.It is true the tempests may howl, billows surge, and thunders roll, and the lamentations of man and beasts be heard, but they soon pasa away, and silence again reigns. “He that keepeth his month, keepeth his soul; Rut he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils.” It is the strong, vivi fying sap aud nourishment that em balms every action and feeds every virtue. In silence, secresy, and soli tude, we may strengthen our unfeebled souls, and approuch so close to the fountain of all light as to radiate its genial, soothiug rays and divine nature, even into oun benighted hearts. Thus enlightened, may we not put forth energetic efforts to execute the designs drawn upon the trestle-board by buy Divine Master? It is within these sacred halls that your true character has been delineated. It is here where the ark _of the covenant—the vase of true manna—Aaron’s rod, upon which the lily of JCase was seen .VUtDuing— and the table of gold upon which God himself deposited his holy word—here where great truths are developed, and* every virtue that your great est efforU have been made. May; you ever so live and act j and after death; become a living soul and bright light In the mansions of heavenly felicity, as your-memory wilt ever bedenthriaeA in the hearts of all true brother* of the mystic tie.” The Jewel will be on exhibition to day, at J.
