MASONIO IMPOSTOES .

To the Editor of the FBEEMASON ' S CHBONICLE . DEAR Sin AND BROTHEU , —Your efforts to call attention to necessary reforms , as events bring defective points to the fore , are most praiseworthy , especially marked as they invariably are by courtesy and fraternal spirit so desirable in such matters . I take an interest in honest , friendly articles and comments , whoever makes them , with the dear old Craft at heart . Brethren may sometimes get a bit wrong , and it is nearly always when they have overlooked that little fact— " wheat or chaff , or harm , old man , once in print for

ever there !"—that we old stagers find always astride of the pen , even when sometimes out of place ; perhaps they do not bike off to Colney Hatch , or write post haste to you , for fear of missing a glorious chance to " sit on a Brother , " as I have heard it expressed ( I have " seen ' Brethren set upon each other , in nudges and words , even a responsible Provincial Officer of high rank , just as fighting cocks used to do in our grandfather ' s time ) , and anyway they bear no malice . So I thank you , Sir and Brother , for the wheat at least is all the living protest of our Masonic faith left when our places are vacated

for wiser and , let us nope , better men . Let me then ask what I conceive to be a very pertinent question after the Leeds Tea-fight ( I am too small a man to go to so large an ono without notice , but a Yorkshire " Rum and Tea " is famous , and might have fetched me had I known of it in time , but I dare say , the next time the " horn of the hunter is heard on the bill , " I " may " try to hear it ) . Who is tho Masonic Impostor ? Is he not that sorry beast which has been for a few years made a Masonio Dreyfus of ? Or that periodical humbug

I take an interest in honest , friendly articles and comments , whoever makes them , with the dear old Craft at heart . Brethren may sometimes get a bit wrong , and it is nearly always when they have overlooked that little fact— " wheat or chaff , or harm , old man , once in print for

ever there !"—that we old stagers find always astride of the pen , even when sometimes out of place ; perhaps they do not bike off to Colney Hatch , or write post haste to you , for fear of missing a glorious chance to " sit on a Brother , " as I have heard it expressed ( I have " seen ' Brethren set upon each other , in nudges and words , even a responsible Provincial Officer of high rank , just as fighting cocks used to do in our grandfather ' s time ) , and anyway they bear no malice . So I thank you , Sir and Brother , for the wheat at least is all the living protest of our Masonic faith left when our places are vacated

for wiser and , let us nope , better men . Let me then ask what I conceive to be a very pertinent question after the Leeds Tea-fight ( I am too small a man to go to so large an ono without notice , but a Yorkshire " Rum and Tea " is famous , and might have fetched me had I known of it in time , but I dare say , the next time the " horn of the hunter is heard on the bill , " I " may " try to hear it ) . Who is tho Masonic Impostor ? Is he not that sorry beast which has been for a few years made a Masonio Dreyfus of ? Or that periodical humbug
