Rev. Dr. Ure, who lectureaTast
Friday evening on his recent visit
to the Motherland, was greeted with
a good audience considering the
tempestuous weather. The doctor
made his discourse exceedingly in-
teresting, his story of his travels
through Scotland and England re-
storing visibly in inany hearts the
almost forgotten memories of child-
hood. We imagine the lecture will
cause many of our townspeople to
visit the scenes across the Atlantic
so ably depicted by the doctor.
The Regular monthly meeting of
the Public School Board was held

earnest member of the craft, as its
preparation aration necessitated the careful
•
perusal of hundreds of old menu-
?, scripts, a large number of lodge
minute books, and an immense cor-
respondence. Tho lecture was a
vivid illustration of the lives of
prominent Masons, living and dead,
and the written acts of local and
grand lodges. Bro. Robertson pre-
sented tho matter in a manner that
earned the thanks of all the breth-
ren present. The address in ad-
dition to purely Masonic incidents,
necessarily introduced historical
events, for during the past }hundred
years, as in the year, of grace 1889,
the Masonic freternity held posi-
tions of trust, in our Legislative
halls, and the legal and military
professions. At the conclusion of

sire to express our indignation at
the conduct of the Protestant mem-

trary to uqual rights and which
recognizes the power of the Pope to
