Installation Meetings, &C.

to make known what a glorious Institution thoy had at Wood Green . In connection with the Masonic Institutions , ho knew full well what they had been doing during the past nine or ten years . The outer world knew simply nothing of onr Charities until they wanted them ; they found them out in a moment then . But when they wero twitted that Masonry was nothing but an expensive social

clnb , he ventured to deny it altogether ; and to say the Masous knew that by this organisation , and without encroaching npon the outer world at all , in tho year 1 SS 0 they raised within £ 2 , 500 , £ 50 , 000 , from their own pockets , and in the year just gone by within an aco of £ 44 , 000 ; so , taking the two years together , £ 91 , 000 was raised in England alone for charitable purposes . What had been the result of

that ? They were enabled to keep over 450 children and over 330 old people in comparative affluence , because when a man had nothing in the world to live npon , to give him coals throughout the winter months , and £ 40 a year , raised him at once to a condition of comparative affluence . He said , then , that Freemasonry was doing as much as could possibly be expected of it at the present time . While

other institutions had to lament that their income had not been sufficient to meet their out-going , tho Craft was enabled to say , not only were their expenses met , but they had also been able to put by a certain amount towards tho " rainy day . " They had raised the number of their recipients and increased tho money given to the Old Folks ; therefore , in every shape Froomasonry had prospered , and

it had also given to its Charities . Bro . Driscoll was about representing for tho second timo an Institntion that must appeal to their common hnmanity . It was very well to say they had boys and girls who must be edncated , but it was quite different with the old mon and women . The children would bo cared for , and , as he had often said , many persons would even adopt and take care of a child upon

the decease of its parents , and bring it np as their own . But thevo were very few who wonld adopt an old man or woman , and keep them till the end of their days . There were indeod some who had a perfect horror of having even their mother-in-law in their houses . Therefore , there must be a repugnance to taking in the widow of an old friend , and keeping her till the end of her days . There the

Benevolent Institution stepped in , and took tho responsibility , by a small payment from the Craft , and was euabled to keep thorn as he had said . If tbey went down to Croydon and saw the comforts the old people enjoyed , and the thankfulness with which they received their money quarterly , and heard their thanks that such an Institution as Freemasonry existed , they would be amply repaid , as

long as they were Masons . In the coming year they had a great struggle , for there were 112 candidates—46 men and 66 womenwhile at present they had only fourteen vacancies for men and seven for widows . These were only 21 in all , and unless their Festival ou Feb . 2 l 8 t next was successful , it would be a matter of impossibility , to add to the number now upon the fund ; they would be only able

to fill vacancies caused by death , and consequently ninety would have to go away disappointed and have to wait another year . All tho applicants were over sixty years of age , and wonld become less and less able to take care of themselves . Therefore , he said , they ought as far as possible , and according to their means , to support the

Benevolent Institution . Bro . Terry concluded by an eloquent appeal on behalf of tbo Charity , and resumed his seat amidst prolonged applause . Several other toasts were honoured , and tho proceedings of the evening were agreeably diversified with music , singing , and recitations .
