District Grand Lodge Of New Zealand South, S.C.
prefer retaining the old connection rather than have anything to do with a new arrangement , just as there are people innumerable who would rather occupy chambers or parts of houses than have houses of their own . Thus , Lodge " Le Progres de Toultscha " is strongly opposed to
what it calls tho " pretended " Grand National Lodge of Roumania , in the establishment of which a certain Captain Moroin , formerly an active member of the Lodge " Les Sages d'Heliopolis Orient Bucharest , Obedience Francaise" has taken the principal part . This gentleman ,
, it seems , during the late war , conferred the symbolic degrees on a number of adepts , whom he constituted into a Lodge , and in September 1880 re-constituted this Lodge as " La Grande Loge Nationale . " For these steps he appeara to have had no authority , and ho has
consequently been expelled definitively from the said Lodge "Les Sages d'Heliopolis , " and also from another holden under the United G . Lusitanian Orient ( Portugal ) as well as from all his rights and privileges as a French Mason . We gather likewise from the letter that Captain Moroin is
not in any way cast down by his expulsions and exclusions . On the contrary , he persists in his scheme of having a Grand National Lodge for his native country—France , Bucharest , Toultscha notwithstanding . On the other hand , the brethren of Toultscha uersist in their denunciations of
Captain Moroin and his associates , so that , as we have said , the conrse of Roumanian Freemasonry is not running very smoothly just now . Doubtless all will come right in time , and in time these dissensions , like those that have
occurred in our own country , will be healed . Meanwhile , however , it serves to illustrate the old and familiar adage , that " history repeats itself " in Freemasonry as in other mundane institutions .
The members of the late Board of Stewards , who exerted themselves to such good effect in connection with the last Festival of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution as to produce an addition of £ 12 , 600 to the funds of the Charity , visited Croydon on Tuesday , the 2 nd
instant , upon the invitation of the House Committee , in order that they and the friends who accompanied them might have an opportunity of seeing how carefully the comforts of the inmates are attended to . Fortunately , the weather was tolerably fine and warm , and the
visitors were enabled to visit freely the residences of the inmates , and stroll about the pretty grounds by ¦ whi ch the Institution is surrounded . The hours of reception were from one to four—though , as a matter of fact , the last of the visitors did not leave until about half past
five . The band of the Boys' School attended from the Institution at Wood Green , and performed a selection of music from well-known favourite operas , and performed so well as to give universal satisfaction . A liberal luncheon was provided , and the only toasts besides " The Queen "
that were proposed were " the late Board of Stewards , " with the names of the Chairman , Brother Clarke , and Bro . Terry the Secretary of the Institution , Brother Edgar Bowyer the Treasurer of the late Board , and Brother Dr . Strong the Honorary Surgeon of the Institution . — " Evening Newe .
We have great pleasure in giving circulation to the following appeal of Brother Binckes on behalf of the Institution with which he has now been connected for over twenty years , and in which he has exhibited so great an interest . At the proper time it will become our duty to
offer some remarks on the claims of " Our Boys" to the support of the Craft , and we need hardly assure our brother that , so far as our humble ability goes , we shall do so earnestly , and we hope , successfully . In the meantime it is as well that our readers should keep before them the
fact that on the 28 th June 1882 , Lord Mayor Ellis , Grand Junior Warden , will take the chair at the Boys' Festival , and for his sake , but especially for the sake of the Institution , we trust the following appeal of Brother Binckes will have a satisfactory result .

general interest—to us , as Masons , is especially worthy of note having regard to the truly wonderful progress developed by our Fraternity ! Instead of existing in comparative obscurity and retirement—its work unobserved by the outer world—its proceedings unnoticed , Freemasonry has achieved a position of dignity and res . peet hitherto unparalleled , —enjoys a recognised position , more prominent perhaps than auy other organization unconnected with

We have received copy of a statement showing the " Business Results and Claim Statistics , 1881 , " of that most useful organisation , known as the " Accident Insurance Company ( Limited ) , " which has its headquarters at 7 Bank Buildings , Lotbbury , B . C ., and of which our worthy
Bro . 0 . Harding is the manager . From this statement it appears that the total number of claims paid by the Company during the period 1870-81 , both inclusive , "were 14 , 624 , of which 129 were for fatal injuries . The lowest figure in any one year is 953 in 1871 , the highest 1527 in
1879 , while last year there were 1457 claims , of which 621 come under the head of " Riding , Driving , Walking ; " 364 were " Business and Professional Accidents ; " 231 " Home and Domestic Casualties ; " 50 occurred to people while " Travelling ; " 17 were caused by " Animals , Birds , & c , "
and 174 through " Sports and Pastimes . " The amount paid in satisfaction of these 1457 claims was £ 29 , 999 13 s 2 d , and for all the claims during the twelve years £ 300 , 65012 s Id , giving an average per year £ 25 , 054 4 s 4 d . On tbe other hand the premiums paid last year were
£ 55 , 433 14 s lid , of which £ 7 , 070 17 s was received for new insurances , so that the payments equalled 54 ' 11 per cent , of the receipts . The Bonus reductions in 1881 were £ 2 , 847 17 s 5 d , while the average for the whole twelve years is over £ 2 , 000 a-year . The Assets at close of the year , including
balance brought forward , amounted to £ 47 , 290 9 s 3 d—a state of things which , it must be admitted , is highly satisfactory . Considering the advantages offered by the Company , and the low rate of premiums charged ; considering ,
too , how liable we all are to accidents , this Company deserves to bo well supported by the public . We strongly advise those of our friends who are not policy-holders already to become so forthwith .
