afford the money they had voted , and as long as they conld do so the best thing they could do was to assist the Benevolent Institutions of the Craft .

He concluded by saying it would be always his endeavour to contribute as far as he could to the
prosperity of the Lodge , and no effort towards that end should be wanting on his part . The Worshipful Master then proposed the health of his Officers , who always evinced a desire to do their duties well , and to assist in carrying forward the best interests of the Lodge .
