To the Brethren of To-Day
The series of events in the pages that follow should not be looked upon as something of the dead past. They tell the story of a Lodge whose greatness does not rest upon age or material wealth, but upon the vigour as revealed by its Brethren who have created the spirit that it possess to-day.
I would like you to come with me and mingle for a while with our Brethren of yesterday. Let us enter the old Mason Lodge and listen to them as they are swayed by the emotions, prejudices and customs of their times, aye, and we may hear the crash of the sea against its stout walls.
As we look back over these 200 eventful years with pride, we shall realise that while traditions and customs have changed, the character of the Lodge remains as it was.
