The Retrospect.
that the club is merely " a Cabal , " and that the members are pledged to support whatever measures arc suggested at the meetings . This is altogether an absurd notion ; the pretence is unworthy of the club , and of Freemasonry , and
we feel it an imperative duty , most unequivocally to state , that the objects of the club are simply to associate the Masters and Past Masters on the days of Quarterly Communication , and that no subject whatever , of a Masonic character , is ever put to the vote * .
It is with unfeigned p leasure that we are able to announce the health of our illustrious Grand Master to be most excellent , that he enjoys even more than his usual flow of spirits ; and that in the necessary retirement from the public duties of the Order , his Royal Hig hness is animated by those feelings of
unabated ardour which make every report from the Society to him a subject of the deepest interest . The proceedings of the last communication have been viewed by the Grand Master in the lig ht naturally to be expected by all well-wishers to the Craft . The
subjectmatter of the motions brought forward , and the general topics they embraced , have been maturely considered . Had his Royal Hig hness been able to attend personally , it is probable that some difference in the mode of arrangement
might have been suggested ; but it is with sincere gratification we can assure our readers , that the proposed additions to the several Boards are not objected to ; and , further , that such revision of the Constitutions as may be found requisite , will be amongst the earliest objects of the Grand
Master ' s attention . We close our observations by stating , that his Royal Hig hness is impressed with the happy presage of being- able to meet the Brethren at the Grancl Lodge in June . May the GREAT A RCHITECT SO will it !
