their contributions , and that all tho fees of honour had been paid . Ho had a satisfactory balance— ¦ £ - _ Us lOd . Tho report of the Board of General Purposes having then been read , —which contained the recommendation that forty guineas should bo given to the Devon Education Fund , —Bro . Charles Godtschalk rose to ask if it was the intention of tho P . G . Master to put that

recommendation to the Prov . Grand Lodge aud take their opinion upon it , as iu that case ho intended to move an amendment . Bro . J . U . Gover hereupon formally moved forty guineas he voted to the Devon Educational Fund . Bro . Charles Godtschalk , rising to move the amendment , said it was well known that ho had taken a deep and sincere interest iu

founding- the Devon Educational Fund , and having well thought out its best interests , had every wish to seo it successful iu the future . Ono of tho great interests of this local fund was , that it should bo self-supporting ; in this sense self-supporting , —that the annual subscriptions of individual brethren of 5 s , 10 s aud guineas throughout tho Province would produce ample funds for tho

surplus orphans of tho Province . By tho word surplus was meant thoso orphans who conld never hopo to bo elected into tho great National Masonic Charities , tho Boys' aud Girls' Schools . Another interest of this local fund was , that it should never interfere or clash with tho interests of thoso great Charities . Neither should this local fund compete for monies From tho governing

bodies of Masons in tho province— by governing bodies in tho province he meant Prov . Grand Lodge , —no matter whether Craft , Arch , or Mark . Tho monies from these bodies naturally belonged to tho great Charities to which we , as a province , stand deeply indebted . Ho saw many brethren around him who wero present when tho Devon fund was established early this year ; it was then clearly

understood , and that by speaker after speaker , that tho real element of success for this local fund wonld bo its power of solf-support by tho individual subscriptions of brethren ; also that Provincial Grand Lodgo should not bo appealed to for funds that should go iu another direction . And what do wo find ? Why , tho very first Provincial Grand Lodge hold after this local fund is founded

two or three brethren coming forward to ask—for what ? not a few pounds ; but every penny possessed by tho Prov . Grand Lodgo for this local fund , which arc the earnings of two years of tho Mark degree of the Province . Tho Prov . Grand Lodge having voted nothing in 1878 , bnt keeping all in hand , now adds to it tho income of 1879 , and endeavours to voto all away to a local fund that afc least iu a great measure should bo self-supporting , and to the

detriment of tho groat Charities to which tho Province is deeply indebted . Ho therefore said , if this custom was to bo followed up , he , as their representative at tho great Charities warned thctn that their power of electing candidates at the great Charities would bo weakened , and if thoy decided to keep their money afc home , so must thoy keep their poor with it . Trusting the brethren would see , not alone the justice of his remarks , but also the policy of them , ho would move tho fbllowinc- amendment : —

" That tho forty guineas reoomuv-nded by the Board of General Purposes to bo voted to the Devon Educational Fund be reduced to twenty guineas , that sum giving the qualification of a Vice Patron , with 25 votes at each election . The suite bo presented as a mivk of respect and esteem to the Provincial Grand Mark Master , Colonel Tanner Davy . "

Tho amendment of Bro . Godtsclnlk being seconded by Pro . A . B . Lethbridge P . M . P . P . G . M . O . No .
