By 1902, the Lodge was well and truly re-established and the club which had been established to raise funds was wound up. 

The summons for the October 1902 Installation Meeting was headed "The Coming of Age of the Saye and Sele Lodge", which now had grown back up to thirty one members. Joining members and initiates continued to join until 1911, when the by-laws were changed to limit the membership to 40 full subscribing members.

The following year, the first Lodge history was written by W. Bro. W Reeve, who wrote a short piece recording the first thirty years of Saye and Sele. A resolution was placed before the Lodge that "The most cordial and hearty thanks be given to W. Bro. W Reeve for his energetic and self-denying work in taking up Secretarial duties during the period of embarrassment and confusion , and by his skillful and tactful efforts in restoring the Lodge accounts to their normal condition".

War

The October 1914 summons stated that owing to the abnormal circumstances caused by the European War, and to the many calls made on the funds to meet charitable appeals, the usual Installation Banquet would be replaced by the ordinary Lodge Dinner. The charge for visitors would be five shillings.

The Lodge agreed to support the Prince of Wales National Relief Fund, and the Provincial Grand Lodge Benevolent Fund, which was set up to relieve the distress of Kentish Masons.

In 1915, it was decided that, as no Lodge of Instruction existed in the district, one would be formed under the Mother Lodge of Saye & Sele. The first Preceptor, W Bro Harry Ayling, who went on to serve until 1959, having presided over the instruction of 45 Masters of Saye & Sele, along with those of other lodges.

As can be imagined, not much happened during the Great War, but four Brethren were initiated during that time. Meetings were disrupted by ever changing train timetables and one initiate, due to be raised was at sea on the day. 

By 1917, the Lodge was activly seeling new members and a roll of honour was made and hung in the committee room in Belvedere. Unfortunately, this was demolished, along with the building when the Lodge moved.

When the war ended in 1918, the Lodge mourned the loss of its last surviving founder W Bro Frederick Wood, who was worshipful Master in 1883 and 1894. During the year, a total of six candidates were initiated into the Lodge. A record which still stands today. 

In the post closing ritual, approved by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, the names of the fallen in the "Great European War" were read out, followed by the names of those who had served and were still serving, followed by the National Anthem.

As the war receded and wounds began to heal, the Brethren turned their attention to the 1922 Provincial Grand Festival and the "Masonic Million Fund" appeal for the building of the new Freemason's Hall, to celebrate the coming of peace.
