The Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
friends have paid marks of respect to a society , whose tenets are radiated by the purest morality .
THE ANNUITY FUND FOB . WIDOWS is yet under consideration . The subject might have been brought forward at the last Grand Lodge , but the hour of eleven was so near at hand that the mover consented to defer it until December next . The cases of the two estimable widowladies that have recently occupied the attention of Grand Lodge , are strong evidence of the necessity of a Widows' Fund .
THE CHARITIES are progressing . THE SUPREME COUNCIL of the 33 rd Degree for England and Wales , are prosecuting their intellectual labours , and entering into correspondence with those of other countries .
THE TRIBUTE TO BROTHER HERRING . —This estimable Mason has received a complimentary acknowledgment of his invaluable services as Grand Secretary to the Grand Lodge of New York . That he has rendered "the state some service" may be gleaned from the result of seventeen years active services as Grand Secretary . Indeed , so great has been his zeal as to create an envious jealousy of the power that
naturally resulted from the great confidence placed in his unquestionable talent and high moral character . Envy , however , pursues merit as its shade , and by a successful ruse at a recent Grand Lodge , he was outvoted as Grand Secretary ; for , in America , the Grand Officers are elected , not appointed . The friends to good order , determined that the
voice from without should speak to the voice within , held a grand festival , in honour to Bro . Herring , at which , in the unavoidable absence of the Grand Master , the Deputy Grand Master , Bro . Phillips , presided . The addresses on the occasion were most interesting .
BROTHER W . J . CARVER . —In our report of May last , we inadvertently omitted to state that this Brother was introduced to the especial Grand Lodge as the representative of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts , and saluted accordingly . We trust that the appointment may lead to happy results .
