The Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
Our pages are not intended for thc conducting of controversial points on matters of religion any more than on those of politics . Freemasonry in its pure essence is our creed . If we were to admit any more of the papers we have received on the subject , we should in honour be bound to allow all points of controversial policy to find a place , and we may not fall short of the mark , if , in such that not onl
case , we predicate y an uncongenial feeling would result , but that we should be accessory to , and responsible for the consequences , not simply as might regard the interests of the F . Q . TR ., but the welfare of the Craft at large . Again , we doubt the policy of continuing the subject of controversy on matters of theological dispute ; no one is likely to be converted ; for in the heart of man there will ever be a tendency to adhere to those views his forefathers have impressed on it . Our advertising pages , at mere cost price , will , however , be open to all .
THE MASONIC CHARITIES . —Few words will speak much—all are flourishing—nearly eleven hundred pounds were reported at the Girls ' Festival , and nearly six hundred at that of the Aged Masons' Asylum ; on the latter occasion it is but justice to state , that Bro . J . B . Byron presided , in the absence of Lord Combermere , with the highest credit . Among the most interesting compliments paid to the cause was the presence of the Rev . Erskine Neale , who visited London for the express purpose of generously supporting the Asylum , and presenting a liberal subscription .
