Treas ., Pitt Sec , Hollands S . D ., Croaker J . D ., Ockenden l . G . A vote of thanks to Bros . Terry , Constable , and Miller ended the proceedings . The brethren having partaken of refreshment , at which Bro . E . Gottheil P . M . and Preceptor presided , tho usual toasts wero given and responded to , during which Bros . F . Binckes and Raynhain Stewart unexpectedly entered ; they wero received with loud
acclamations of pleasure . Bro . Terry , in his response , pointed out the necessity of steady support to tho Benevolent Institution , and declared that if every brother were to subscribe five shillings a year a greater number of applicants might reap the benefit of the annuities , which , at the same time , could be considerably augmented . He was sure so small a sum can easily be spared , and he thought should willingly
be subscribed by every individual . Bro . Constable , replying to the toast , "Prosperity to the Confidence Lodgo of Instruction , " said that , wero he possessed of tho power of a Demosthenes , he could not more fully convey to tho brethren his sentiments of gratitude than is conveyed by the three simple words ' I thank you . ' The duties he had had the honour to perform that evening , however onerous , wero
nothing compared to the trouble our Preceptor has taken , in times gone b y , to perfect him in the ritual . It is to him the thanks aro due , for it is to him he was indebted for the Masonic knowledge he possesses . Bro . Turqnand next proposed the health of tho Preceptor , whom he characterised as genial of temperament , and patient in his mode of instruction . Bro . Gottheil expressed his sincere
thanks , and spoke of the many years he has been connected with the Lodge , first as Secretary , and then as Preceptor , in succession to Bro . F . Theodore Foulger . He felt still a considerable amount of nerve ancl activity in his constitution , and , while that is the case , the Lodge may rest assured of his services . With " The Press " Bro . W . W . Morgan ' s name was coupled , who said that Bro . Gottheil
inadvertently represented him as the proprietor , instead of tho publisher , of the FKEEMASON ' S CHRONICLE . The proprietary body is the Craft , and each one of you may participate in the proprietorship by taking a single share . The paper has been established upon certain fixed principles , which should faithfully mirror the opinions , sentiments ,
and aspirations of the Craft . Wo havo hitherto strictly adhered to onr programme , and met with considerable encouragement from brethren in all parts of this country and abroad . While that support is continued , it will demonstrate the necessary existence of the paper , and , when it is withdrawn , its publication will be discontinued , as a matter of course . The names of Bros . Binckes and E . Stewart
were exceedingly well received . Bro . Binckes said : — " While thanking you for your kind expressions , it appears to me that I ought not to occupy your time by any remarks of mine , as I feel like an intruder , and as one who had no business to bo here . But , peeping in at the door , I saw ranged around this board so many well-known faces , that I could not resist the temptation to enter and exchange greeting .
The W . M . has just stated that the toast to tho prosperity of the Charities had already been given , and I am sure tho brother on my immediate right ( Bro . Terry ) has ably responded to that . I had not intended to say more than five words . Bnt it is our duty , as Secretaries to the Institutions , to appeal to you whenever opportunity occurs , for we exist only by your suffrages and support ; we
cannot appeal to tho outer world ; indeed , they would not listen to us . You have heard it announced that for the Benevolent Institution £ 9 , 184 havo been collected . Now there is amongst the Secretaries a friendly rivalry , and when , at the last Festival , this large amount was announced , I assure you I felt glad , but tho first thought that passed through my mind was , I must beat
that , but how ? As to the means , I havo not even yet arrived at anything like a clear decision . You have just heard Bro . Morgan state that you might all become part proprietors in the FKEEMASOXS' CHKONICLK by taking a single share . Well , in the same way I wish you to become part proprietors of our Institutions , by your annual subscriptions . This evening , at the Board of Benevolence , a brother presented
himself as an applicant for relief , who , but a short time since , moved in the highest circles , but , through misadventure in business and a variety of unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances , he became ruined or , in vulgar phrase , failed for £ 500 , 000 . This brother , in his days of prosperity , did literally nothing to benefit our charities , yet in adversity ho has immediate recourse to the Benevolent Fund . Although neglectful of his duties—for we do not like to enquire too
nnuntely into what a man ought to have done and did not do , — a liberal amount was voted to him . But how much pleasanter it would have been for him to present himself before that Board with the consciousness of having contributed towards the relief of others when it was in his power . Now brethren , think of that , do all you can , for
the demands upon our Charities vastly exceed the means at command . Eio . It . Stewart , as a member of all the Charities' Committees , nnd in the absence of Bro . Little , echoed the remarks of tho last speaker , aud pointed out the necessity of continued efforts on behalf of the Institution . Bros . Constable and Churchward contributed to the
harmony of the evening by some excellent songs , and Bro . Ockenden recited , with considerable talent nnd effect . A very pleasant and delightful evening then came to a close . Bro . Posener will preside at the next meeting , when he proposes to rehearse the first and third degrees .
