MANCHESTER UNITY OF TILE INDEPENDENT ORDER
OF ODD FELLONVP3.—The " Pioneer " Lodge of the North
London Dimtriet, opened about three months back, at the
Institute, IS, Cross-street, Islington, held a grand lodge
m Feting at Myddelton-hall, Noble Grand S. A. Brooks in
the chair, ou Wednesday evening last, for the purpose of
initiating as members Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.l'. ; Rev. R.
Maguire, incumbent of Clerkenwell ; Rev. W. Guest, of
Claremont Chapel, Pentonville ; Colonel Matthews ; Rev.
H. Solly, the organising director of the Working Men's
Club and Institute Union ; Mr. C. IL Elt, member of
the Board of Works for the parish of Islington ;
Mr. J. W. Lee, Mr. G. Scott, and Mr. G. Butcher.
This lodge was established for the purpose of affording
an opportunity to young men connected with Christian
associations and others, engaged in mercantile pursuits,
who object to belong to a society holding its meetings in
a public-house, to participate in the many great advan-
tages RS a benefit society appertaining to the Manchester
Unity. The North London district of the order has over
10,900 members. with a capital invested for the sick and
funeral fund of 51,8321. 17s. 20., besides 10,000/. re-
served for widows and fatherless children and orphans. The
whole order numbers over 380,000 members, with a capital
invested for the sick and funeral fund of 2,000,000/. ster-
ling. It embraces among its members all classes of society
and has lodges in all parts of the world—every
lodge is open to any member of the order, poor or rich.
I The meeting was of the most enthusiastic character ;
about 600 past and present officers and members were pre-
sent, and the discipline of the order as manifested during
the evening, and known to the initiated, was deserving of
all praise, takiug the new made members by surprise, and
eliciting from them expressions of good will, and the offer•
log of their most hearty co-operation and su pportr
to
further the objects proposed by the lodge. Each speake
remarked that he expected to undergo some fearful ordeal,
and was surprised to find that the initiation was so simple,
and the " charge " m.inly consisted of reminding them of
their duties to God, to their neighbours, and to themselves,
and thought it a matter of regret that the principles of the
order were so little known.
DIOCESE OF CANTERBURY.--TIE Rev. Thomas
Ensor Cato, 31. A., lies been licensed to the perpetual
curacy of Wye. The Rev. Thos. Rabett Mayhew, M.A.,
has been instituted to the rectory of Warehorn. The BAN.
Daniel Butler, M.A., has been collated to the rectory of
Great Chart. The Rev. John Worthing•on Bliss, M.A.,
has been presented to the rectory of Betstranger. The
Rev. Edward Francis Tuke, M.A., has been licensed
to the cure of Borden ; the Rev. John William Benest,
8.A., to the cure of Bidborough ; the Rev. William
Henry Valentine, 8.A., to the cure of Healey ; and the
Rev. Edward William Northey, ILA., to the cure of
Ilawkhurst, all in the county of Kent.
FATHER lONATIVEL —The Rev. J. L. Lyme, whose
proceedings in connexion with the Benedictine monastery
at Norwich were some time since matters of public noto-
riety, has changed the scene of his labours, and has become
the curate of St. Bartholomew's, Cripplegate, in the
diocese of London, to which he will in due course be
licensed by the bishop, on the nomination of the incum-
bent, the Rev. William Denton, M.A., of Worcester
Col-
Ox'ord. The services at St. Bartholomew's, a very
poor district of Cripplegate, are of • high church charac-
ter, without being what are now called " ritualistic,"
and Mr. Lyne has abandoned his monkish habit. Both
Mr. Denton and Mr. Lyne are excellent preachers, and the
services are consequently likely to attract considerable at-
tention.—Tirses.
