PREFACE. 
 
 The Story of the Paradise Chapter has been told chiefly by means of 
 verbatim extracts from the Minutes, to which have been added explanatory notes 
 and comments when it has been thought that such would elucidate the Text. 
 There are several points on which further information would be desirable, were it 
 possible to be obtained, such as what became of the French officer and prisoner, 
 Jean Francois Marriott Fouqu6 —we hope at any rate that he returned to La 
 Belle France and spread there the principles and truths of Royal Arch Masonry — 
 and in connection with the earlier records it would be interesting to learn if the 
 Koyal Arch Masons had any regular meetings in Sheffield before the Chapters of 
 Loyalty (1795) and Paradise (1798) were established, and if so under what name 
 and where ? 
 
 Many of the details given in this History have been extracted from Books in 
 the possession of the Britannia Lodge, for permission to use which our thanks are 
 due to the W.M., Bro. W. Gunstone, who courteously placed them at our 
 disposal ; Ex. Comp. Ensor Drury, P.Z., P.G. Soj of England, has aided us with 
 many valuable hints and suggestions ; and Ex. Comp. Simeon Hayes, P.Z., 
 P.P.G.S.N., has placed ua under the deepest obligations by the way in which he 
 has helped us in this work by giving us freely of that great store of Masonic 
 knowledge which he possesses, thereby materially lightening our labours. 
 
 JOHN STOKES. 
 
Following that part of the Minute Book which had been used as a 
 Britannia Lodge Attendance Book [see p, 10] appears the following : — 
 
 A PRAYER FOR A E.A. Candidate. 
 
 Almighty and everlasting JAH, who openeth Eternity ; whose eye pervades 
 the immensity of space, look down with Condescending goodness upon us assembled 
 here before Thee, and graciously grant that in all our works begun, carried on, 
 and ended, they may be for Thy Glory and for the good of our immortal souls, 
 that when this Mortal shall have put on Immortality, and this Corruption shall 
 have seen Inoorruption, He with us may sing praises in Thy Heavenly Chapter for 
 ever and ever. 
 
 God, in a particular manner we pray and beseech Thee to bless and prosper 
 our present undertaking that this Citizen of the World we are about to exalt into 
 this supreme degree may, when he shall be called upon to give in his account, do 
 it without fear or trembling. 
 
 Do Thou, Lord, our common Parent, enable him to go through the Rugged 
 
 Arches which are both straight and low, with courage, and so guide him, Lord, 
 
 by Thy holy precepts, that when the Curtain falls and the invisible World appears 
 
 he may have the portals of eternal glory open'd to him. 
 
 Amen. 
 So mote it be to us all. 
 
HISTORY OF THE CHAPTER OF PARADISE. 
 
 The first Warrant of the Chapter of Paradise was granted March 
 22nd, 1798, by Rancliffe, Z, ; Henry Hobart, H.; and John Gordon, J.; 
 and signed by Jas. Heseltine, Jos. Const, Inspectors- General ; Benj°' 
 Cooper, G''- Registrar. The principal Founders were Sam'- Robinson, Z.; 
 Sam'- Tompkin, H. ; William Rowley, J. 
 
 The second Warrant [under which the Chapter is now worked] 
 is dated May 10th, 18'20, and signed Augustus Frederick, G.Z. The 
 Three Principals were WilHam Rowley, Z. ; Thomas Howard, E. ; 
 Edw''- L. Bishop, J. [It is worthy of note that one of the 
 Principals (W. Rowley) in the first Warrant is also one of the principals 
 in the second Warrant.] This second Warrant was granted under the 
 New Regulations after the Union attaching the Chapter to the 
 Britannia Lodge, confirming the old, and not forming a new Chapter. 
 A copy of each of the above Warrants will be found on pp. 42 — 47. 
 
 Portraits of the first Three Principalf [a copy of which was given 
 to each companion present on March 21st, 1898] hang in the Lodge 
 Room. The following few particulars regarding them may be of 
 interest : — 
 
 Samuel Roblnson was WM. of Britannia Lodge in 1780 — 1782, 
 1786, 1795 — 1800, and was for some time Treasurer. He was the first 
 First Principal of the Chapter of Paradise. 
 
 In the Sheffield Directory published in ] 787, he is described as 
 agent to the Sun Fire Office, Briusworth's Orchard [Brelsforth's 
 Orchard] ; in that published 1797, as Fine Scissor and Razor Maker 
 and Agent to the Sun Fire Office, 25, Eyre Street ; and in that 
 published in 1821, as Accountant, Orchard Street. 
 
 The portrait is included in the Britannia Inventories of March, 
 1809, and May, 1835, but there is no record of its presentation or 
 purchase. 
 
8 
 
 Bro. Robinson's name appears very regularly in the Britannia 
 Name Book beginning with Feb. 11, 1774. 
 
 Samuel Tompkin became a joining member of Britannia Lodge on 
 April 11, 1796. He was W.M. of Britannia Lodge, 1801—1802, and 
 of the Royal Brunswick Lodge, 1814 — 1816. He was the first 
 Second Principal of the Chapter of Paradise. 
 
 In the Sheffield Directory of 1821, he is described as a General 
 Engraver and Copperplate Printer, No. 18, High Street. For some 
 years he printed the Lodge Summonses. 
 
 In Leader's " Records of the Burgery of Sheffield," p. 435, is the 
 following entry: — "[Inscription on the Great Guns] 12th Nov., 1821. 
 Ordered that Samuel Tompkin's Bill for engraving the Inscriptions, on 
 the two brass pieces of ordnance (71i. 0. 6d.) be paid." 
 
 William Rowley was the most able and active Freemason of his 
 time; he was initiated May 10th, 1797, and was seventeen times 
 elected W.M. of the Britannia Lodge, viz., in 1802—1805, 1815—1821, 
 1827—1832. He was the first Third Principal of the Chapter of 
 Paradise, and subsequently held the provincial rank of Grand 
 Registrar. 
 
 In the Sheffield Directory for 1821 he is described as Maltster, 
 Orchard Street. 
 
 The portrait was presented by the Britannia Lodge in 1832, " To 
 be deposited in the Lodge as a lasting remembrance of the high esteem 
 entertained by the Brethren." It was painted by Mr. Johnson, Artist, 
 of Sheffield, [Valentine Johnson, Portrait Painter, 49, Norfolk Street,] 
 who was paid ten guineas for it. 
 
 An interesting circumstance in connection with Bro. Rowley is that 
 from 1805 to 1834 (almost all the time of its existence) he was Secretary 
 and President of the " Sheffield Masonic Benefit Society," and when, in 
 1834, the Society was wound up, the Deed Box, his Portrait, and a set 
 of Ivory Cutlery were presented to him by the members. The Deed 
 Box was for many years in the possession of Messrs. B. Wake and Co., 
 Solicitors, Castle Street^ and afterwards of their successors, Messrs. H. 
 
and A. Maxfield, who have recently presented it to the Britannia 
 Lodge. The Portrait is in the possession of Mr. William Askew, of 
 Watson Road, Worksop, and is similar to the one in the Lodge Room. 
 
 Before the Chapters of Paradise or Loyalty were established there 
 were Royal Arch Masons in Sheffield, as is proved by the lists of names 
 given in an old Book, [bound in parchment, formerly belonging to 
 Lodge No. 85, which is in the possession of the Britannia Lodge,] to 
 several of which names at different times there is affixed a Royal Arch 
 Emblem, the first name so distinguished being 0. A. Heurtley, Jan. 
 23, 1767. On the next page to this, in a statement of Lodge Accounts, 
 there is entered amongst receipts : — 
 
 .Octo'18. To Bro'- King being made Royal Arch . . JO 10 6 
 To Bro'- Denson ditto ditto . . 10 6 
 
 Some pages further on in the same Book there is a list [not dated, but 
 with an entry recording a brother's death, Jan. 8th, 5765J in which a 
 Royal Arch Emblem (as above) is aflB.xed to twelve names and prefixed 
 to four, making in all sixteen Royal Arch Masons out of a total of 
 twenty-eight recorded as being members of the Craft Lodge, and two 
 of the brethren are described as "A [sst.] Sojourner." 
 
 In the same book the following entries are to be found amongst 
 
 the Lodge Accounts, and were evidently looked upon as part and 
 parcel of them : — 
 
 1766. Dec. 12th. By Royal Arch, D'- £0 5 6 
 
 1767. Nov. 19th. To Royal Arch Lodge . . . . 4 
 
 1768. May 13th. To Royal Arch Lodge . . . . 8 
 1768. Sept.23rd. Cash of the Royal Arch . . . . 3 
 
 At the other end of this Book is a list of " Persons Proposed," beginning 
 Feb. 10th, 5763, ruled, shewing dates "Enter'd," "Pass'd," "Rais'd," 
 "R.A." The first name noted as R.A. is John Allott, July 3rd, 5765, 
 and there are eight names recorded from 1765 to 1770. 
 
 In 1810, 11th April, there is in the third Minute Book belonging 
 to the Britannia Lodge [foolscap, rough calf, marked " Book of Records," 
 extending from Oct. 10th, 1788, to March 11th, 1818] an Inventory of 
 Articles belonging to the Britannia Lodge, removed from Paradise 
 
10 
 
 Square to Bro'' Willey's, in the Wicker, which concludes with "Articles 
 belonging to the " Koyal Arch '' and " Templars." [It is not stated 
 what the articles are.] 
 
 At the end of the same Book is an Inventory taken May, 1835, 
 [at this period the Chapter was not meeting,] in which is included the 
 following : — One large Box, containing the Books and Regalia of the 
 Royal Arch. Two Chapter Warrants in gilt frames and glass. 
 
 The Chapter, when not joined to any Lodge, was No. Ill, but on 
 becoming connected to the Britannia Lodge partook of its changes in 
 number, being No. 232 in 1820, No. 162 on its resuscitation in 1841, 
 and No. 139 in 1863.

 [This is an old Attendance Book of the Britannia Lodge, and was pro- 
 vided in accordance with a Minute of this Lodge passed April 11th, 
 1788. The first entry of signatures is dated Oct. 10th, [Anno 
 Lucis] 5788, and the last July 13th, 1803, when it ceased to be 
 used by the Britannia Lodge, and was appropriated by the Royal 
 Arch Chapter of Paradise.]

 15th Dec. last) and proving all white, he was declared duly elected and 
 he was immediately exalted to the sublime degree of a Royal Arch 
 Companion. 
 
 Resolved : That an annual subscription should be entered into in 
 order to defray the expenses of the Chapter. 
 
 That each Companion shall subscribe five shillings yearly. 
 
 That the subscription shall cease so soon as a majority of the

 Twos then proposed and unanimously agreed that 1/- should be 
 allowed out of the Funds of the Chapter for refreshment in Liquor 
 for every attending member, and every visitor to pay the same till the 
 whole be come in. 
 
 [This refreshment, it appears, always took the form of malt liquor until 
 
 Oct. 19th, 1817, when a resolution was passed that each member 
 
 should be allowed to have what refreshment he preferred up to 
 
 the value of 1/-]. 
 
 Comp"- Rowley then proposed that no companion being a 
 
 resient of the Town should be allowed to visit more than once in a 
 
 year. 2nd by Gallimore and carried by show of hands.

 the 15th Dec'- last. 
 
 [In two instances, one here recorded, the other relating to a Chapter at 
 Longnor, this Chapter gave a helping hand to the neighbouring 
 Chapters, which help has in many ways been continued to the 
 present time.]

 Officers, and several other Companions of the Paradise Chapter of 
 Sheffield (as named in the margin), in all 15, to a-ssist them in so doing, 
 and they would pay every expense attending the same (which they very 
 liberally and handsomely did) — when 17 Brothers [names given —all of 
 Doncaster or neighboui hood] were raised to the degree of Super-excellent 
 Masters in the Chair, and afterwards exalted to the supreme degree of 
 R.A. Masons. Afterwards, an appropriate Lecture was given by the

 Comp°- Rowley's Certificate having been mutilated or destroyed 
 accidentally by some of Comp"* Eobinson's children, it was resolved that

 G. Recorder, Freemason's Hall, London, to grant a Warrant for a 
 
 Chapter to be held at Longnor every last Saturday in every calendar 
 
 month. Comp"- Rowley was then requested to mention in his letter 
 
 to the Grand Recorder whether any money and what was remitted 
 
 to him along with Longnor Petition as it appeared that Comp"- 
 
 Millward, of Longnor, had remitted to Sheffield £3 with the said 
 
 Petition, and it was not certain whether that remained at Sheffield or 
 
 was sent to London.

 at a Royal Arch Chapter at Portsmouth, 1st Sept., 1769.] 
 
 I9th March, 1815. (Present, 15.) 
 
 N.B. — This evening Comp"- Tibbotts proposed Bro'- Thompson to 
 become a member of the Chapter, but on account of some unpleasant 
 remarks against him by the ex. Z. being made concerning some private 
 transactions of business between them " saying that he (Tompkin) would 
 not remain in the Chapter if Thompson was admitted," and wished for 
 an investigation, which was fixed for the 5th April next, Tibbetts with- 
 drew the proposal. [See minutes in the Craft Lodge Records on that 
 day.J 
 
 21si! May, 1815. (Present, 13.) 
 
 Some conversation took place respecting a general procession at 
 some future day in Honour of the Union of the Ancient and Modern 
 Masons. Twas agreed that 3 members of each Lodge (Britannia and 
 Brunswick) should meet at Bro. Willey's on the 29*'' inst., at 8 o'clock, 
 to determine the same. 
 
 Sam^- Tompkin, Z. 
 16th July, 1815. (Present, 22.) 
 
 Not being any particular business (and being the Wicker feast) 
 twas agreed not to open the Chapter, instead of which proceeded to fix 
 and arrange the procession for Monday, 24"' inst.

 [The following is quoted as a curious instance in which the Britannia 
 Lodge (though not legally connected with the Chapter of Paradise) 
 was asked to adjudicate on the matter in dispute.] 
 
 Sept. nth, 1815. (19 present.) 
 
 Coinp"' Hallam proposed and Oomp"- Ogle seconded Bro. Chas. 
 Thompson (who was proposed on the 19th March last, but withdrawn). 
 The excellent Z. then (from a former dispute between him and Bro"^' 
 Thompson) thought proper to leave the chair immediately with much 
 vKimnth, and could not be persuaded upon to stay and close y° Chapter, 
 but left it to be closed by Comp"- Rowley, &c., pro. tem. 
 
 [N.B. — But as it may be necessary to explain the dispute in question 
 in order to justify the proposition of Bro'- Thompson, a reference to the 
 minutes of Britannia Lodge, held on 5th day of April, will fully 
 elucidate the business, and prove the correctness of his being again 
 proposed.] 
 
 Comp"- Rowley then proposed that a Chapter of Emergency be 
 summoned for the 2nd Sunday in Oct. for electing new Officers. Carried. 
 
 William Rowley, Z. 
 
 [With reference to this matter, it appears (see Minute Book labelled 
 "Second Minute Book, Lodge 221," belonging to the Britannia 
 Lodge) that a Lodge of Emergency was called 5th AprU, 1815, when 
 "it was the unanimous opinion of the Lodge that Bro'- Thompson 
 had conducted himself with propriety, and his transactions with 
 Tompkin were honourable and fair." Companion Tompkin did not 
 again attend the Chapter until 16th June, 1822, when he was 
 re-elected a subscribing member.] 
 
 Oct. 22nd, 1815. (Present, 19.) 
 
 Bro'' Charles Thompson elected. He passed the superlative chair 
 
 and was duly exalted. 
 
 William Rowley, Z. 
 
 Nov. l^th, 1815. (Present, with two visitors, 15.) 
 
 The most excellent Z. reported the Chapter in debt, and it was 
 resolved that the whole of the Sub°- of 5/- should be applied to the 
 expenses of the Chapter, and not (as heretofore) 1/- per member for 
 
20 
 
 supper. Each member in future to pay for what he calls. This not to 
 be considered permanent longer than necessity requires. The excellent 
 Z. gave his casting vote in favour of his proposal. 
 
 W EOWLET, Z. 
 
 March \7th, 1816. (Present, 12.) 
 
 The most E. Z. informed the Chapter that a Tyler was wanted for 
 the Chapter, when Comp"- Newton was elected. 
 
 It was resolved that the usual allowance of Liquor on the Chapter 
 nighte should come in beginning in May next. 
 
 W"^- Rowley, Z. 
 
 20th April, 1817. (Present, 17.) 
 
 Samuel Turner, iige 17, was elected, and after the Chapter he 
 arrived (being late by coach). The Chapter was re-opened, and he was 
 duly exalted. 
 
 Tt was resolved that all the Jewels of the Chapter should be gilt. 
 
 W. EOWLEY, Z. 
 
 [There may have been some special reason for having a candidate under 
 the usual age of 21 years, but certainly there have not been many 
 Royal Arch Masons at 17, and in all probablity a clerical error has 
 been made, otherwise some notice, giving a reason, would be in the 
 Minutes.]

 Thos. Howard, age 40, Sheffield, Brandy Merchant.

 It was resolved instead of 1/- each being "jointly" had in 
 Malt Liquor as heretofore, each member should receive a ticket of one 
 shilling value and have it in what he himself should think proper.

 M. M. B., M.E.Z. 
 
 Mariano Martin de Bartolomb, M.D., was born at Segovia, in Spain, 
 of which province his father was Governor. He became involved in 
 some political trouble and was compelled to leave Spain. He then 
 went to Edinburgh, where he graduated as Doctor of Medicine, and 
 whilst living in that city he was made a Mason in the Kilwinning 
 Lodge. He came to Sheffield in 1838, and at once took a deep interest 
 in Masonic affairs ; indeed, it is not too much to say that the revival of 
 Masonry in Sheffield at that time was mainly due to his exertions, and 
 his love for it continued to his dying day. To his efforts, in a great 
 measure, we are indebted for the building in which we now meet, the 
 foundation stone of which was laid by him on May 23rd, 1870. He 
 
28 
 
 was a man of great intellectual power, thoroughly conscientious, just, 
 and impartial, and whilst possessing a decided will of his own, was 
 always ready to listen to the suggestions of others. 
 
 In his profession he was for many years looked up to locally as its 
 chief representative. In 1840 he became Physician to the Dispensary, 
 in 1846 he was elected to a similar position at the Infirmary, and in 
 1876 was President of the British Medical Association. 
 
 He died somewhat suddenly on June 2nd, 1890, and was buried at 
 Ecclesfield on June 5th, his funeral being attended by a deputation from 
 this Chapter as well as from the various bodies, Masonic and otherwise, 
 with which he had been so long and honourably connected. His 
 portrait [painted by Mr. Wm. Poole, for which twelve guineas was 
 paid] is in the Lodge Room, and was presented to him by the Britannia 
 Lodge on March 29th, 1842, "as a token of regard and for valuable 
 services rendered to the Lodge."

 The M.E.Z. reported that having consulted the minutes with a 
 view to ascerDain the arrears due to the Chapter, he bad found them in 
 many instances incorrect and contradictory, and the paper so bad that 
 it was very difficult to write legibly upon it, and he had therefore 
 transcribed into a new Book all the minutes taken since the re-opening 
 of the Chapter on June 13th, 1841, and he now prayed the Chapter to 
 examine the copy and, if found correct, to confirm it, and receive it in 
 lieu of the original, keeping the old Book with the archives of the 
 Chapter. The Chapter unanimously thanked the M.E.Z. for the trouble 
 he had taken, and adopted the new Minute Book in lieu of the old one, 
 which it was decided should be kept as suggested by Oomp"^- Bartolome. 
 
 [In the old Book above referred to the minutes from June 13th, 1841, 
 to April 3rd, 1846, all being signed M. Martin de Bartolom^, are 
 crossed through from the top to the bottom of the page, and the 
 following explanation is there given ; —

 Herewith you will receive 8 Grand Chapter Certificates as required 
 
 by your Chapter, and remittance of ^6 Os. Od., which .sum is placed 
 
 to credit accordingly.

 With reference to that part of your note as to passing the chair of 
 a Lodge before exaltation, I beg to say that such practice is done away 
 with, and in lieu thereof the Candidate for Exaltation is examined as 
 to his knowledge as a M.M., which, if approved, he is instructed with a 
 password in a manner similar from one degree to another in Craft 
 Masonry, with the exception that it is not done in open Lodge. 
 I remain, dear Sir and Comp""

 [This is the first occasion on which the Three Principals are recorded 
 to have been installed as at the present day. At this and on several 
 subsequent occasions the services of a Companion not resident in 
 the town were made use of as Installing Officer, but as Royal Arch 
 Masonry progressed, Companions of our own Chapter became equal 
 to this work, and for the last thirty years nearly all the Principals 
 have been installed by E.^. Comp. En.sor Urury, P.Z., P.P 6.H.,

 Dear Sir and Comp"- 
 
 No. I should not be inclined to let Certificates go to any 
 
 individual — they should come to your meeting and sign them, or 
 
 their Certificates should be entrusted to a Chapter near the applicant, 
 
 where he might attend and sign it, and a minute made of the 
 
 circumstance. In great haste. 
 
 Yours fraternally, 
 
 Henry Smith, 
 
 Pro. G.S.E. 
 
 [This method of presenting Certificates is at the present time the 
 custom in Sheffield, but that il is incorrect is shewn by the following 
 letters from Grand Lodge, read at the Annual Meeting of the Chapter 
 of Paradise, 19th Jan., 1891 : 
 
 The Scribe E reported that he had returned six Grand Chapter 
 Certificates as per resolution cf Nov. 17th "(1890), and that he had 
 received the following reply from the Grand Scribe E. :^ 
 
 Grand Secretary's Office, 
 
 Freemasons' Hall, London, Nov. 21, 1890. 
 Dear Sir and Oomp°- 
 
 I am in receipt of your letter of the 19th inst., returning 6 old 
 R.A. Certificates which though sent to the Chapter many years ago 
 were never issued. This is no doubt caused by the common error that 
 there is some law requiring Certificates to be signed in open Lodge or 
 Chapter. As a matter of fact no such Law exists, and if the Bro'^- or 
 Companion has left the place or is unable to attend, the Certificate 
 should be sent to him by post, with instructions to sign it at once. 
 The Certificate, for which he has paid, is his personal property, and in 
 accordance with Art. 176, Book of Constitutions, he is entitled to 
 receive it directly it is issued. 
 
 Yours faithfully, 
 
 Shadwell H. Clerke, Col., 
 Comp"- Dearden, G.S.E. 
 
 S.E. Chapter 139, Sheffield.

 Grand Secretary's Office, 
 
 Freemasons' Hall, London, Nov. 25th, 1890. 
 Dear Sir and Oomp"- 
 
 I have to acknowledge receipt of your communication of 19th 
 inst., enclosing unclaimed Certificates. The Certificates of the deceased 
 Companions have been destroyed, the other two are retained, but I may 
 mention that they should have been forwarded to the Companions at 
 the time they were issued. 
 
 Yours fraternally, 
 
 Shadwell H. Clerke, G.S.E. 
 Comp"" Dearden, Sheffield.]

 appointment of the Right Hon. W. Lawies Jackson, M.P., as Grand 
 Superintendent of West Yoikshire, and on behalf of the Chapter a 
 letter of congratulation was sent to Comp. Jackson. It was stated 
 that the Loyalty Chapter had decided to pay £2 per annum instead 
 oi £1 for use of the Paradise Regalia, &c. 
 
38 
 
 May VUh, 1896. 
 
 The following resolution was passed : — 
 
 "As the records of this Chapter prior to 1875 cannot be found, 
 Ex. Comps. Drury, Garnett, and Hayes were elected a Search 
 Committee to do all in their power to restore the missing books.'' 
 
 As a useful sequence to this, it was resolved on Nov. 15th, 1897, 
 " That an Inventory be taken by the two Trustees assisted by Scribe E., 
 of the Regalia and properties of the Chapter, and entered on the 
 Minutes ; and that a Copy of the Regalia Inventory be sent to each of 
 the other Chapters [Loyalty, White Rose of York, and Milton], that are 
 allowed the use of it ; and that the Trustees have power to make any 
 necessary additions to make the Regaha complete." 
 
 [This Inventory was duly taken and a copy dated January, 1 898, is 
 pasted in the Minute Book, and in March, 1898, the long-lost books 
 were found, handed over to the E.Z., and have been of great service in 
 the writing of this history.] 
 
 Rote. — 1896, March 25th. — By command of the Grand Superinten- 
 dent, E. Comp. Ensor Drury, P.Z., &c., consecrated the White Rose

 Charles Stokes, after which a vote of thanks was proposed by E, 
 Comp. T. H. Vernon, P.Z., and seconded by E. Comp. J. P. Hewitt, 
 P,Z.

 Portraits of the First Three Principals of the Chapter were given 
 to each Companion present, the portraits being fac similes of those 
 ha,nging in the Lodge Room, and are reproduced on page 44. 
 
 Of late years the Chapter has been prosperous ; its history 
 uneventful, and its numbers have steadily increased ; indeed, the change 
 from 1841, when a membership of 15 or 16 was thought great, to the 
 present, when there are more than 100 members, is sufficiently striking. 
 The recent increase in the number of Craft Lodges in Sheffield has 
 brought about a corresponding increase of Royal Arch Chapters 
 [White Rose of York and Milton] which chiefly owe their initiative 
 to members of the Chapter of Paradise, and with which this Chapter 
 has worked, and it is to be hoped, will always continue to work, in 
 , Peace, Love, and Harmony.
