Capper Lodge, No. 1076.

I am happy to inform you that an independent actuary has declared our working expenses to below ; indeed , upon a lower scale than any other collecting charitab ' e institntion yon can name . Our Charities , brethren , are not only unique in their deriving support from tht-Craft alone , but are imiqne in that they are unfortunately dependent upon the generosity of a small minority only for snpoort to carry oiu

thoir good work . Of the Craft we may estimate 100 , 000 , who , allowing a deduction of ona quarter to cover duplication of membership , if they would subscribe only 5 s per annum to each of our three Institutions would yield £ 50 , 000 and upwards . If they gave only 5 s to one , whioh I think within the range of all , what a noble increaso would be made to our resources . It is , indeed , only tho minority who snpport

ns , for out of 210 or 215 candidates , I find only 18 of the parents had subscribed , and yet they were admitted , being deserving . Brethren . conld I tell yon , or could you witness what I do , I feel you would remember the lesson taught ns at onr initiation , when onr ability to assist the cause of charity was so forcibly brought home to us ; and now that you are possessed of the meaus , give as you are able , and

the Masonic Institutions would never have to refuse admission to a candidate , and would become a pattern to all charitable institutions . An opportunity now presents itself . Placo in Bro . White's hands what you have to give , that he may give a stood account in February next . He has to-day appealed to tho Capper Lodge for the support of each brother . He asks each of yoa to give 2 s 6 d a mouth till

January , so that by February he may tako up sufficient money to the H . M . B . I , to constitute the Capper Lodge a V . P . of that Institution . The idea is good , and lik « ly to increase in good works . You can , by this simple means— 1 st , place your W . M . a member of tho Committee of Management , and thereby aid yonr candidates , and then make yonr Wardens ex officio V . P . 's of the Institution . Brethren , is not this

something worthy of . the Capper Lodge , to have the great credit of starting so excellent an idea ? The means of attaining this object are simple—a glass of beer less occasionally will afford sufficient to carry out tho suggestion of one you are all so justly proud of , and enable him to continue the good work tho Capper Lodge has done . I remember Bro . Holliday P . M . brought up nearly £ 100 from the

Capper Lodge . The golden opportunity is now yours ; do not let it slip , or the oredib of it be taken away by others . In response to this appeal , £ 30 was guaranteed by the brethren at the table to Bro . White ' s list . The health of tho Visitors was next given , and received with enthusiasm . After several had replied , the Officers was given , and met with a bumper . Each of the Officers having spoken , the Tyler ' s

toast brought a very memorable evening to a close . During the proceedings some excellent songs were sung by Bros . Catchside , Stephens , and Sherwin Organist , who greatly enhanced the pleasure of the evening by bis accompaniment of the songs and selections . The Visitors were Bro . J . Terry P . M . Sec . E . M . B . I ., Wren 50 , Balls 77 , Ives 781 , Jolly 913 , Catchside 1063 , Reeves 1437 , Clapp 1437 , Stephens 1623 .
