persons of both SPXO » , members of any Benevolent Institution , who are provided with a free residence , coals , gas , medical attendance , and a weekly allowance towards maintenance . Her Majesty the Qneen is Patron , but tho Institution is but scantily endowed , —ifc is usual at Christmas timo to entertain these old folks with a dinner , he therefore urged the brethren who bad so nobly given to tbe Masonio Charities
