Brett and Cottebrune Senior and Junior Vice Presidents in their respective seats . Bro . Letchworth G . S ., A . A . Pendlebury Assistant G . S ., W .
Dodd and W . H . Lee attended from Giand Secretary ' s office . The attendance of other Brethren was large . The Board of Masters having been opened , the President said he should like to ask the opinion of the Committee on the point whether it would not be better
that some minutes of tlie Committee should be kept ? There was no Committee that he knew ol tbat had not a record of its proceedings . There might be at times a question ol wbat did or did not take place , and he thought it would be veiy much better that this Committee
should always have some record of its proceedings m the shape ol some shorthand note ol what transpned . He was sure it would be as fan * to those who thought that they weie perhaps not tieaied as tLe \ mi ^ ht have been
at this CoiLiuiUte , as it wouiu be to those who were members oi tne Committee . He would like to ask the Jbiethien il it was tLe . n * wish that in the mture a minute of . their pioceeomgs shouia be n . aae . , . •., * Bro . W . P . Blown P . G . btd . B . asked whether it was meant that theie should be a recoid ol what was said at thc Board of Benevolence .
Committee Of Grand Lodge, And Board Of Benevolence.
The President said No , but only of the Quarterly meetings of the General Committee of Grand Lodge , because some discussion might take place in Grand Lodge ou what had occurred at the Committee . In nineteen cases out of twency the proceedings were merely
formal , about the business to be transacted at the ensuing Grand Lodge , and the minutes would be merely for information . But it might happen that something would Cake place which might appear to be invidious . At all events he thought it would be very much better thafc there should be a record . He therefore would
make a motion to that effect . The Senior Vice President seconded the motion . The motion having been met with general cries of
Hear , Hear , The President put in the following form : — " That minutes of the proceedings of the General Committee shall be kept regularly , and be confirmed at the next
General Committee . The motion was carried unanimously . The agenda for next Grand Lodge was then submitted
to the Brethren , the Board of Masters was closed , and the Board of Benevolence opened . Bro . James Brett said , that as that evening was the last occasion when the meetings of the Board for the
present year would be held , he thought ' that as Stewards of the important Fund of Benevolence it was desirable that they should look back and review the result of their
year ' s labours . He thought they could do so with much satisfaction to themselves when they considered that in that time with some thousands of pounds many poor
Masons in distress and trouble had been relieved by the Board ; in addition to whom many Widows and children of Masons had also been relieved . That was to the Brethren who formed the Board a great privilege as well
as a great pleasure . But to do this spontaneously , effectively and with equal justice to all—with as much liberality as possible—it was necessary to give , not an occasional , but a constant attendance at the Board , because it was not possible to form a correct opinion of
the distribution of the funds at the disposal of the Board without a knowledge of its income , and whether it would last out the year . On that Board they had seen on some occasions distinguished Brethren come forward to support cases , and by great ability and elocutionary
pi /\ urs bad so advocated those cases as to lead the Board , o vote larger sums than they otherwise v \ oulu , and that iu Li . u tlca-iiioiii . oi vci ) btion ^ cubes . As he bad said , io ciu ihu vn . * ii . wen ityuu'tu not Liuy constant attention , but goud government , and that was the point to which
he wished to draw the Brethren ' s attention , and was tne purpose for which he rose . He was going to propose a vote of thanks to the President of the Board , Brother Eobert Grey . Bro . Brett did not profess to have , the wisdom of King Solomon , but he knew one thing—that
benefitted by his being spared to preside over the Board for many years to come . Bro . Henry Garrod P . G . P . and Bro . C . A . Cottebrune P . G . P . rose together , but the latter gave way . Bio . Henry Garrod , as one of the oldest members of
all the Brethren on the Board were proud of their President . There was an old proverb— " Like Master , like man , " and he believed there was great truth in it , — for when a President set a good example it had great force
and influence on those over whom he presided . It was not possible to find a Brother more able or more attentive —giving his time constantly to that Board—more painstaking or patient than Bro . Eobert Grey ; he was the
same Brother Eobert Grey now as he was when he first took the chair , nearly nine years ago . Ever since he first took the chair he had displayed great judgment , ability and firmness , but at the same time with consideration , patience , helpfulness and great kindness .
