MASONIC INTELLIGENCE .
MASTERS ' , PAST MASTERS ' , AND WARDENS' CLUB . ( Circular . ) Crosby Hall Chambers , London , 1-Uh July , 1848 . SIR AND BROTHER , —Several brethren having the best interests of Freemasonry at hearthave for some time been convinced of the necessity
, of the existence of a Club , and to this end have established the Masters ' , Past Masters ' , and Wardens' Club , to which all brethren are eligible who are members of the Grand Lodge of England . As the principal desire is to have the list of members as numerous as possible , the subscription is fixed at five shillings per annum for brethren whose lodges are within the Metropolitan district , and two shillings and six-pence per annum for those in the provinces .
The General Meetings will be held on the first Wednesday in March , June , September , an December , at six o ' clock precisely . The essential object of the Club is to place before its members such matters as affect the well-being of the Craft , and to invite the expression of opinion of each brother upon all questions ; by which means , it is hoped , much useful information may be imparted , and great advantages accrue to the fraternity at large .
_ It is proper to state , that in no instance will matters proposed for discussion in Grand Lodges be put to the vote ; members , consequently , will not be precluded from carrying out their own particular views . The Club , moreover , determines to adopt only those means which can by all be considered as fair , legitimate , and straight-forward ; besides , upon all occasions to pay the most fraternal regard to the opinions and suggestions of those of its own body .
Those members who , from distance or other cause , are prevented from being present at the meetings of the Club , are invited to forward their communications by letter to the Secretary , in order that the same may receive the best consideration of the council . Members of country lodges are requested to join , as by so doing , much that is useful and beneficial may be reciprocally imparted . Your co-operation and assistance in promoting these objects are respectfully invited . By order of the Council .
I am , Sir and Brother , yours fraternally , J . R . SCARBOROUGH , Hon . Sec . The prospects of this Club continue to be very promising ; many provincial brethren have already enrolled themselves .
