Masonic Memoir Of The Late Bro. Geo. Aarons,
Bro . Aarons was remarkably neat in his dress ; and so little had he of the appearance of a blind man , that strangers have been known to hold lengthened conferences with him without being , aware of his affliction ; this used to please , him . His good humour was proverbial . He observed . the Jewish customs strictly , unless that he . relaxed at masonic banquets , when he was wont to observe that the directions of the great law-giver Moses had reference to tho early eastern timesand not to the temperate
, climate of England . Some few years since , a very excellent lithographic portrait was published of him , which , now that he has fallen asleep , will doubtless be prized as a companion to his contemporary , Bro . Peter Gilkes . Bro . Aarons was , in his masonic policy , a neutral ; but in the year of terror , 1840 , when the unholy crustde of the informers and apostates was at its heightand a division of Grand Lodge took lacein the attempt to
, p , expel a leading member of Grand Lodge , Bro . Aarons insisted on two brethren , on whom he could rely , to place him properly , and even then he was scarcely satisfied , for he loudly exclaimed— " 1 vote for Dr . Crucefix ! " And that vote is thus publicly recorded in grateful tribute to his memory .
