Festival Of The R.M.I. For Girls.
for him to cherish a hope that Bro . Hedges would shortly announce a satisfactory amount for 1890 , whioh would not only meet the annual necessities of tho Institution , but admit of their adding to its invested fuuds . The Stewards' lists were then announced by the S ecretary . The Chairman next gave Our Kindred Institutions , both 0 f which he said was equally deserving with that which had been so
enthusiastically received . Bro . Binokea responded . Although the Chairman , after celebrating a great success on behalf of the Institution over whose Festival he had that day so ably presided , did not make any direot mention of his ( Brother Binckes' ) name , it was in accordance with usnal custom that the brother associated with the Institution whose Festival was imminent to be called npon
to respond , and he did not hesitate in appearing before the Brethren , for something like the 29 th anniversary , while he was still the Secretary of the Boys ' . Without making anything more than an indirect allusion to the position in whioh he was plaoed , he never had greater pleasure than on the present ocoasion in responding to the toaBt of Sucoess to the other Institutions , and particularly to the
Boys' Sohool , to whioh their excellent Chairman had made such kind allusion . There could be no doubt in the mind of anybody that tho Girls' School was the Institution that had commended itself , and was commending itself , and would continue to commend itself , ter the nearest and dearest sympathies of every one who boasted of being a Freemason ; and , as one who had a long connection with the Boys '
Sohool , but took great interest in the success of the Girls , he did not hesitate to say he was more than delighted iu the close of life to see the Girls' Sohool waa in a state securing snoh a position in the estimation of the Masonic world . He would even hope that , after all said and done , the Boys' Sohool would not be forgotten . It had been subjected to a tremendous ordeal ; but it had done a
large amount of good , and was still doing a large amount and he hoped in the future would do a larger amount of good . In stating these faots , and indulging in that aspiration , he was sure he should carry with him the feelings and sympathies of every brother present . Never mind who might have been occupied in that work or not ; he was about to retire into private life , and he hoped , spite of all that
had heen said , he migbt have the satisfaction to carry into that retirement the sympathies of a majority of the brethren among whom , for near upon 30 years , he had laboured assiduously and not unsuccessfully . There were those who were of a turn of mind who would study English poetry . There were " The pleasures of Memory , " " Tho Pleasures of Imagination , " and " The Pleasures of
Hope . " Well , Memory and Imagination might almost be swallowed up in regard to the Girls' and the Benevolent Institutions ; Memory and Imagination no longer existed in reference to them ; but Memory and Hope in regard to the Boys' School might be indulged in . They had to preside over them on the occasion of the Festival of the Boys ' Sohool , not , the Provincial Grand Mastor of any largely organised
Province , but one who had proved himself a good Mason , a man and a brother ; a Past Senior Grand Warden ; a man who stood high in the councils of their Sovereign , —the First Lord of the Admiralty , and he sincerely hoped that he might be supported at that Anniversary Festival—the ninety-second—on the 2 nd of July , unmistakably the last that ho ( Bro . Binckes ) would
have any participation in , to his intense regret , but to the satisfaction of some few , not , he hoped , of a majority ; his best efforts would be directed to make it a success , under the guidance of the Provisional Management Committee , who were doing all they could to render the Institution perfect wherever it could be proved to be imperfeot ; and ¦ objected , as the Institution had been , to a strict investigation , he
questioned very mnoh if they had not come out of it well . There were 264 sons of Freemasons being educated in the Institution . They knew the successes aohieved—that 1400 or 1500 lads had been ednoated there . They knew . that Freemasonry was increasing , and the demands on the Institution would increase with it , aud he did trust that the Festival of tbe 2 nd of July would not be less than
either of those already held this year , —the Benevolent in February , and the Girls' School that night . Congratulating them both on their sucoess , he would like if he could , by any quiet sympathetic appeal to those who he knew still had their sympathies with him , to make this his last and final effort the greatest success of his MaBonic life . When he said that they wonld understand that he was not speaking
egotisticall y . Brother Riohard Eve Past Grand Treasurer said the success of the evening had been achieved by their Board of Stewards , who had been most successful ; a debt of thanks was due to them for the way they had performed their duties . Bro . Col . Peters replied , and then Bro . Sir Arthur Otway proposed the Ladies , for which Bro . E . Luxmore Marshall replied . The concert in the
Temple was given under the direotion of Bro . Fredk . A . Jewson , Organist of the Alliance Lodge , No . 1827 .
