THE FREEMASONS ' QUARTERLY REVIEW.
SEPTEMBER 30 , 1841 .
THE ASYLUM . AFTER a pause of nearly four years , as regards any practical discussion on the subject , the principle of a permanent provision for the Worthy Aged and Decayed Freemason , has been again entertained and approved by the
Grand Lodge of England . And that , too , not merely as an inculcation to others , however earnest , but in the true zeal of active benevolence . Our readers , and especially those who reside at a distance from the seat of Masonic rule , will be gratified , indeed ,
to learn , that all differences of opinion appear to be merged in a general desire to establish the Third Masonic Charity on the most permanent and extensive basis ; and that the decision of the Grand Lodge on the 1 st of September ,
1841 , is so far in unison with that of the 6 th of December , 1837 , that the wishes of all may be attained , without doing violence to the feelings of any . The first resolution of the Grand Lodge contemplated the erection of an Asylum ; the second supports a System of Annuities ; and both of these ,
coming within the provisions of the existing Institution , may be , therefore , carried out just in proportion to the feeling in favour of either . Those who would provide , generally , a regular stipend for the distressed , may subscribe to the Annuity Fund ; those who would provide a home for the
absolutely destitute , may contribute to the Building Fund ; and the most zealous may add to both . VOL . VIII . M M
