will be made as to the arrangement of local and general funds in reference to the charities . The votes will also be taken for the vacancies in the Cornwall Masonic Annuity and Benevolent Fund . The satisfactory condition of all the Institutions will be again a source of thankfulness and congratulation on the part of officers and subscribers . The Officers of the Province for 1896-7
will be appointed and invested , and three Brethren will be appointed to past rank , as authorised by Grand Lodge , to commemorate the twenty-first year of the Grand Mastership of the Prince of Wales . A special presentation will be made to Bro . E . D . Anderton , the indefatigable Provincial Grand
Secretary , of Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter regalia , by the Brethren of the Province , and as the subscriptions have been so numerous there will also be a presentation of plate , Bro . Anderton ' s services being so warmly and deservedly appreciated . — " Western Morning News . "
A Norwich telegram states that the Prince of Wales will attend the performance of the Norwich Musical Festival on 7 th October . He will be the guest of the members of the
County Club , and during his stay in the city will , as Grand Master of the Craft , unviel the bust of Lord Suffield Provincial Grand Master for Norfolk , which has been subscribed for by the Freemasons of his Province .

Sir Kenneth Kemp , Bro . Hamon le Strange , and other prominent Masons of the Province . The picture has been on view at Mr . Gavin ' s Studio , St . Giles ' s Street , Norwich , says the " Eastern Daily Press . "
Bro . Henderson , of Stemster , in opening a Masonic bazaar at Wick , said there were many ideas about Masonry which were quite erroneous , and for that the comic papers were to a considerable extent responsible . When a man was represented as returning home late at night in a helpless condition , the
explanation which he was usually represented as giving to his wife was that he was attending a meeting of his Lodge , but he could safely say that , however much better a man was made by becoming a Mason , he was never made worse . Principles were inculcated by the Craft which , if they were followed out , would
make men better citizens and better husbands and fathers , for they taught that in all the affairs of life a man should conduct himself justly , uprightly , and well . There were many widows and orphans who had reason to be thankful that their husbands and fathers belonged to the Craft . He thought the ladies who
had taken such an active part in preparing for the bazaar deserved special thanks , because it might be said that they were , to a large extent , working in the dark , but he hoped that they were satisfied from what he had said that the objects for which the meetings in that hall would be held would be philanthropic , benevolent , and patriotic .
The Breve addressed by the Pope to Cardinal Aghardi , the President of the Anti-Masonic Congress , was published on the 4 th , says the Eome correspondent of the " Standard . " His Holiness expresses his great satisfaction at the assembly of the Congress , and declares his opinion that Freemasonry is becoming
more pernicious than ever . The Congress , he thinks , is a proof that the people of Europe are beginning to understand that Secret Societies are everywhere a menace both to Church and
State . It should endeavour to discover an efficacious means of combating and counteracting the designs of the enemies of the Catholic faith , and of protecting the masses against the errors of a malignant Association .
Speaking of the " Breve " addressed by the Pope in regard to the Anti-Masonic Congress , the " English Churchman " says : "If the Pope would consent to substitute 'Jesuits ' for ' Freemasons , ' we should be ready to agree with him . The
day may yet come when English statesmen will have to put in force the law , which is now a dead letter , expelling the Jesuits from this country , for the reason that they are ' a menace both to Church and State . ' "
