IS FREEMASONRY FLOURISHING ? To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , — At the Committee meeting of the Royal Masonio Benevolent Institution , on Wednesday , in reference to one of the petitions a long discussion took place , not so much as to this special applicant , who was well known to a srood many present ,
but as to the Lodge that presented him . This Lodge baa contributed something- under £ 300 in all to this Institntion , and has received about £ 3 000 from it , and I learn is about sending np two more npplicants . If there is not a case from this Lodge at the Board of Benevolence at every meeting it is looked upon as a wonder , and the same
commeroial speculation is being carried on in regard to both the Boys' and Girls' Schools . Permit me to throw out a note of warning , both to the Lodge and the members of Committee . " Let the galled jade winoe , onr withers are nnwrung . " Tours fraternally , A MEMBER Of COJIMITTEE .
LODGES OF INSTRUCTION ON BOARD SHIP .
To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —Do pray set your face against the esfcablishment of any more Lodges of Instruction (?)—no matter whether on the ocean or on terra firma . It is becoming a well-known axiom ,
that if you want " not to doit , " you may attend the so-called Lodges of Instrnction . What with Bro . A . 's version , and what with the hodge podge served np by those who pretend to be pupils of A . or of B ., we are scarcely able to recognise our once sacred ritual . Yours truly , AN OLD MASON .
