FINANCIAL TABLES FOR THB YEAR 1886 . To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND B ROTHER , —Once more I beg to direct your readers' attention to the work done on behalf of onr several Institutions by Loudon and the various Provinces , as set forth in the respective Festival Reports . Of course , there are individual
donations ; but the amounts are small , and will scarcely alter appreciably tbo average of the various Provinces . On investigation there will be found a general improvement upon last year ; for instance , Cambridgeshire , which from 1878-1884 inclusive had done nothing for the Benevolent , but £ 180 for the Boys and £ 133 for the Girls , in 1885
was credited with £ 106 lis 6 d for the Benevolent , and this year £ 143 , £ 131 8 s , and £ 273 respectively ; Bedfordshire , which in the eight years ending 1885 gave nothing to the Benevolent , £ 38 17 s to fche Boys , and £ 48 6 s to the Girls , has this year been credited with £ 53 12 s for the R . M . B . I ., ancl £ 134 13 s for the Girls ; while
Herefordshire , who for nine years ending 1886 had given nothing to the Benevolent , once in the same period , 1883 , £ 53 lis fco the Boys , and in 1876 £ 10 s 10 s to the Girls , this year gives £ 74 lis 9 .. There is one thing to be said : neither Beds nor Hereford have had any , and Cambridgeshire only one recipient ( a boy ) from our Institutions , bat
the true spirit of Masonry does not consist , as some Provinces seem to think , of a hard and fast line of debtor and creditor account , a quid pro quo between what is given and received ; if that were so , our Institntions would soon cease fco exist , for to many Provinces it appears a perfect matter of indifference how much their account
is overdrawn so long as somo one else pays the piper . As for instance Northumberland , which year by year draws £ 160 from the Benevolent , has not contributed since 1877 one sixpence towards its funds . Ifc is all very well for her to say she has contributed so much towards the Boys' and Girls '; that does not help tho Benevolent
Fund . Then again Devonshire , Yorkshire West , Lancashire Easfc , show the following deficits respectively for the year : — £ 847 Is , seven years' average £ 778 3 s lid ; Yorkshire West , for tho year £ 904 3 s 8 d , seven year ' s average £ 571 5 s lid ; Lancashire Easfc for the year £ 1200 8 s 3 d . seven years' average £ 374 2 s . I havo to apologise fco
Lincolnshire in having omitted in correction of the proof her handsome subscription of £ 10 10 s to the Boya' account , against her deficit this year of £ 502 5 s lid , and seven years'average deficit of £ 490 17 s .
These lasfc calculations are made for tho three Institutions collectively . I really boliove tbat this state of things requires only to bo known to individual members in the several 'Provinces to be remedied .
Yours fraternally , P . M . 1607 .
