And now , while age to ugo uiillonniul runs No cloud will hide the gorgeous blaze from view ; I ' or Lo ! surrouuded by teu thousand suns ,

Oar Brother gets hisjasfc and heavenly due . Mourn not , oh brethren , wo Death ' s sting defy , And though ' tis poixnfiut iu its cruel smart , Does not our Art nyo " teach us how to die , " Does it not Hopo and bloat lteliof impart ? To tho Most High submissive bow tho hoad Our Brother lives—nor is nor can bu dead . Winder llouao , lU-ndford . 26 th Juno 1893 .

After the reprint , which was of a sumptuous naturr , the Chnirtnan i ^ ave the usual loyal toasts from the chair , arid these having been duly honoured , he next , proposed -success to I ho Cheshire Benevolent Institution , giving an intt ivstiiig * account of fcho inception of the movement , statin" * that , their Provincial Grand Master started the

lund with a subscription of 100 guineas , and from that moment ifc quickly increased until ifc reached its present gratif j ing diraetn-iens . In acknowlcdg in- . ' the toasfc , Bro . Newhonse Provincial

brand Secretary read a statement as to tho amounts promised and subscribed to the fund by thc various Lodges iu the county . The grand total promi-cd had been £ 3 , 180 , nnd there was in the bank now lo the credit of fche fund no

less a sum than Ji'J ,- * JU 0 . Some of the Lodgea were contributing one guinea a year for tive years to thc fund , and that wonld account for the difference between fcho amount , promised and thc amount paid . Ho thanked fche brothren

sincerel y for the manner in which they hacl assisted him in forming this Institution , in which their Provincial Grand Master had evinced thc very greatest interest . Ho concluded h y proposing fche health of Bro . Terry , a gentleman , he said , who was doing more for the comfort of the old

people of England than any other man in thc country . The toasfc having been drunk with musical honours , Brother Terry P . G . S . B . England in acknowled ging the toasfc of his health , said he welcomed this now benevolent institution in thc Province of Cheshire with an enormous amouufc of

confidence . It mi g ht be said that institution of branch associations would perhaps afllct tho position of the parent institution , but they had nofc yefc found that so . Wherever branch institutions hal been established there had been a keener interest exhibited for tho prosperity of the London

Institution . They had afc fcho present moment in the Loudon Institution no less than -JO > annuitants , and they paid •fc > lb ' , lOU to the annuitants , lie was proud to think thafc Cheshire has this auxiliary institution , because it would be

a grand thing fur a person lo have half a loaf from fche Couniy Benevolent Fund while wailing for the whole loaf from ( In * London Institution , lie trusted their example would be followed by many other Provinces . Thc nroccdini's then lurminalod .
