Address Of Brother Denis Moore,
sublime truths of revealed religion—if all these things be so , and tbe well-instructed Brethren who hear me know that they are true , then has Freemasonry in all ages been a boon to man , ancl is still a means of blessing him . Its origin divine , because founded on divine precepts ; its practice benevolent , because its principles are those of universal charity ; it aids and cherishes religion where it meets her , and imitates her actions where she is not —( cheers ) .

TliJ Grove , Graveseml , June 1-1 , 101 . 1 . SIB , —Owing to the great mass of correspondence that has poured in on me from the provincial Brethren , in consequence of the rejection of tbe motion for increasing the dues to Grancl Lodge , and applying the same to repair the deficiency caused by the diversion of 400 ^ . per annum ( from the casual Fund of Benevolence ) , and also for the granting of pensions to the widows of aged MasonsI find it impossible to enter
, into such full explanation as each Brother very naturally requires . I therefore take this opportunity of stating , that as I have received such multifarious proofs in favour of the rejected motion , now that the circular of Grand Lodge has been received and understood ( and for its delay I am truly grieved ) , that I shall renew the notice of motion , and trust to the liberality of the provincial Brethren to review the case with that strict impartiality , which on due reflection I hope they will bestow
tipon it . ROB . THO . CRUOEFIX .

June 11 , 1045 . SIB . AND BROTHER , —After the eventful scene that occurred in Grand Lodge on the 4 th instant , at which I was present , I am constrained to observe that , in my humble opinion , the provincial Brethren altogether misunderstood the nature of tbe motion when they attended for the purpose of rejection , and in which object they too fatally succeeded , unless , what is hardly to be hoped forthe worthy mover will have the
, courage to renew this most excellent project . In common with other Devonshire Masons , I certainly voted for a delegation to London , but as certainly I expected that such delegation ivas to hear dispassionatel y any arguments which might be entered into . 1 blush to state , that those only could be listened to who were delighted at such terms as 'unjust , arbitrary , disgusting , ancl the like , unless indeed the mover of the original motionwho sturdily stood up against the cry of
ques-, tion , & c . ; nor should it be lost sight of , that bad the circular from the Grand Lodge been issued in proper time , not only would there have been no appearance of revolt , but the P . G . M . for Devon would have hacl no occasion to speak to the feelings of his immediate friends , but must have shaped his argument to the more enlighted portion of Grand Lodge ,
