, Amphlett 1511 , & o . Lodge was opened in the usual manner , and the minutes of the last meeting read and confirmed . Altheugh there was no actual work on the agenda , some time was occupied in considering certain alterations in the bye-laws and other business . It was announced that the Worshipful Master had consented to act as
Stewu-d for the approaching Festival of the Royal Masonio Institution for Boys , Brother T . J . Cusworth P . M . for the Girls , and Brother C . H . Ockelford for the Benevolent Institution . The sum of ten guineas was voted to the list for the Girls' School , to whioh Brother Potter I . P . M . added five guineas , and later in the evening a draw
took place in connection with the New Concord Lodgo of Instruction Benevolent Association , the life governorship falling to Brother J . R . Cordell . At the close of business the brethren and visitors partook of a sumptuous banquet , which was admirably served under the personal superintendence of Brother J . Marchant , and the whole
of the arrangements were satisfactory . The usual prefatory toasts having been disposed of , Brother Harper announced that ten and ahalf guineas had been balloted for and won by Brother Cordell , who briefly expressed his satisfaction at the result of the draw . Brother Potter I . P . M . then said it afforded him a great deal of pleasure again
to ask the brethren to join him in drinking to the health of the W . M . He was sure that evorybody who had come in contact with Brother Weeden knew him as a good man and Mason . He had been intimately acquainted with him for some years , and knew that when anyone met Brother Weeden as a friend he was a friend indeed . He took
this opportunity ( as the last he should have in his capacity of I . P . M . ) of sounding his praises , and he did so with all sincerity . He concluded hy wishing health and long life to their excellent W . M . Brother Weeden , in ' responding , accepted as sincere the eulogy whioh the I . P . M . ' had bestowed npon him , though his remarks were certainly
very flattering . He trusted he had discharged his dnties thus far to the satisfaction of the brethren , that he should long continue to merit their affection and esteem , and that he might continue amongst thorn for many years to reciprocate their kindly feelings towards him . He then cordially welcomed the Visitors , all of whom briefly
acknowledged the hospitality which had been extended to them . The health of the P . ist Masters was then given , the Worshipful Master returning his warmest thanks for the valuable assistance he had always received from them in the discharge of his important duties . Regret was expressed at the unavoidable absence of Brother T . J . Cusworth P . M .,
through indisposition . The Past Masters severally responded , all expressing their unabated interest in tho Lodge , and their desire to do anything in their power to promote its welfare . The health of the Treasurer and Secretary was the next toast , proposed from the chair , and in responding Brother Stilwell P . M . said he was very
proud of bis position as Treasurer of the New Concord Lodge . He had filled that office for many years , and while they had such a Secretary as Brother Harper there need be no fear of anything going wrong with tho Lodge . He thanked tho brethren for the kindly way in which the toast invariably had been received by them . Bro . R . R .
Harper thanked them for tho cordial way in which the names of the the Treasurer and Secretary had been welcomed . It afforded him much pleasure to think that the humble services he gave to the Lodge wero appreciated by the members , and ho was very proud to hear the brethren speak of him as they did . He should endeavour to do iu
the future as he had dono in the past , his very best for the interest of the Lodge , and working harmoniously with the Treasurer see that tho Lodge kept out of debt , and sustained its safe and solid position . In proposing the Masonic Charities the W . M . alluded to the Benevolent Association connected with tho New Concord Lodge of
Instruction ; this had been the means of sending up between £ 3 , 000 and £ 4 , 000 to the different Institutions . That Association afforded brethren the easy means of becoming life governors . He was pleased to find Bro . Cos worth was going up as a Steward for the Girls' Festival , and that the Lodge had voted ten guineas to his
list . They had an Association in connection with their Lodge of Instruction of which Bro . Cusworth , their worthy Preceptor , was the president , Bro . Gabb the Treasurer , and Bro . Harper Secretary , and he asked all the brethren to avail thcmsolves of the privilege of belonging to that Association . This was the second Benevolent
Association started iu the City of London , and during the last four years it had sent up no less a sum than 4 , 080 guineas . Bro . Harper thought it might be interesting to some of those who did not belong to the Association to mention that through tho efforts of that little body , begun in March last , they would bo able , even if no more
members joined it , tosendup 230 gmneas to the Charities . All this was done by simply subscribing one shilling each member per week ; he thought comment was unnecessary . The W . M . said it was not every brother who was in a position to put down ten guineas , but it was in tho power of most to give one shilling a week , in order to obtain
a life governorship . It was an easy way of securing that honour , and every brother of the Lodge ought to belong to tbo Association . Bro . L . C . Haslip P . M . responded for the Charities ; tho Institutions began originally iu a very small way , but they had gradually increased in the power of doing good , and in the amount of subscrip .
tions obtained , until last year no less a sum than £ 43 , 000 was subscribed . Ho hoped they would never want more , but he felt perfectly certain that if double the amount were required the Masons of tho United Kingdom , under the Grand Lodge of England , would be ready to produce tho money . Notwithstanding , this had been a year of very great depression , and most Institutions of the
kind had suffered thereby . However , he was happy to say sufficient money had been found to maintain the Masonic Charities in a high state of efficiency . He then spoke in terms of approval of the Benevolent Associations attached to Lodges of Instruction , and said he belonged to tho Third City of London , through which they hoped to HRTKI np 1 , 000 guineas this year to tho Institutions , Tho .

Notice Of Meetings.
City of London Association had taken up 900 guineas , and there were other Associations doing proportionately good work . These funds were got up by small subscriptions , which no man felt , so that while it did the brethren no harm , it did the Charities a substantial amount of good . In fact , although in their earlier days these
Associations were somewhat snubbed , it had been found of late that they had become the backbone of our Masonic Charities . Referring to the Bjard of Benevolence , he observed that during the last five years demands had been made upon that fund at the rate of between £ 10 , 000 and £ 11 , 000 a year , and as tho income of the
Board was only about £ 8000 per annum , it had recently to sell out £ 3000 worth of stock . At the December meeting there were no less than 57 cases before them , and at the last meeting 19 cases . This showed the amount of distress that existed just now amongst Masons ; all these cases wore attended to , and only three were sent empty
away . He concluded by strongly advising the brethren to join the Association that did so much good service in the cause of Charity , The W . M . then proposed the Officers of the Lodge , the toast being
suitably acknowledged by Bro . A . Perl S . W . The Tyler's toast brought the proceedings to a close . During the evening some excellent songs were rendered . The gathering throughout was of the most enjoyable description .
