The Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
Noble Brother to whom we have alluded , so expressed himself as to lead them to believe that his lordship was not friendly to the Asylum , that we have ever maintained , in regard to that distinguished Brother , a Masonic respect for his important position in the Craft ; but it was with a

" One of the main princi ples of our Order is Charity . This sliould he put into practice in every possible way . Wealthy - as you are , a portion of that wealth should be put by for those who are poor and uneducated . " I trust you will never lose sight of the friendless Mason ' s
boy and girl . Let us transmit to posterity not merely the secrets of our Order , but connect those ceremonies as much as possible , with the visible practice of Charity . " I trust you will take every opportunity of extending that principle consistent with the efficient maintainance of those charitable institutions which you already possess , and which I am sure YOU will never abandon .
