for Boys before the assembled Brethren . The result of this proceeding was the collection of -610 in the Lodge , and the promise of further contributions .

localities cannot but be proportionate , giving sure and certain indications that the necessary funds for building purposes will speedily be realized . We perceive that Bro . R . G . Alston proposes to send his letter to every Master of a Lodge , and to every First Principal of a Chapter throughout England and
Wales ; and we venture to express a hope that every such letter will be read both in Lodges and Chapters ; for , if it be so read , we are convinced that it will move the Craft to the exercise of that liberality , for which Masons are renowned in every part of the habitable globe , when good and useful
intentions—and none can surpass those of the present in- stance—claim their assistance and support .
