It may be thought that the contribution of tbis sum of £ 650 12 s 5 d during 1884 to a local Institution by the brethren of Cheshire acted detrimentally to the Masonic Institutions in London , but a moment's consideration of
what Cheshire has done during tho past twenty-two years for the central Charities will at once dismiss the idea that its local Institution has been maintained at the expense of the London ones . Looking to what has been accomplished
by Cheshire it may well be said tbat the more Masonic benevo ^ nce is preached and practised in any district the stronger the sympathy of the brethren becomes . There is little fear that so long as the London Institutions can show
such merit as they do at present they will be ignored by the brethren of Cheshire , while as regards the local Charity we can only hope , as we have every reason to believe will
be the case , it will prosper and flourish in the future as it has done in the past . We sincerely wish that the example it sets may be followed ere long by other districts , in which we are convinced equally satisfactory results might be achieved .
