ASYLUM FOR THE AGED AND DECAYED FREEMASON ,
AA E have not received any official communication from the Committee , for which we presume they have good reasons . Our own Correspondence is , however , very cheering , but is reserved for future consideration . AVe cannot refrain from stating , that the delay which has attended the public explanations has not damped the charitable feelings of those Brethren who sometime since came forward as a Board of Stewards for the expected inaugural festival . Disappointed for a time , of themwith true JIasonic
many , a spirit , have served on the Hoards of Steivards for the festival in honour of the natal day of the Grand JIaster , and at the Boys' festival , and are on the list for the Girls' anniversary : thus have they nobly dissipated the idea , that while prompted to support the "old man ' s" cause , they were not equally sensible of their duty to the Grand Master and to the existing charities . The number , on both recent occasions , was never exceeded ; and b y such noble aid was a subscription , exceeding 500 guineas raised for the Boys' School . AA hat a lesson is here taught—it will not , it cannot be without its moral !
