The Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
THE ASYLUM . —The proceedings of this noble tribute to Masonry and humanity , will be read with increasing interest ; its founders and supporters , nothing daunted by the difficulties whieh arise from misunderstanding , that cause delay , and thereby would discourage any but those
who study and practice " Principle , " not only maintain their proud position , but by their spirit and determination set an example that will assuredl y prove more beneficial to Masonry than any other record of the age in which we live . The profits of the ball in January exceeded £ 50 !
The Festival is fixed for the 24 th of June , St . John ' s day ; the Board of Stewards is forming , and already numbers some twenty Brethren , who by their enlistment under the Sacred Banner , will entitle themselves to the thanks of the Fraternity , and the blessings of the poor old Mason : they will have their reward .
The Treasurer of the Asylum is among those who have fallen under " displeasure : " his crime is attributed to his not having interrupted two Brethren in their remarks at a meeting of their Institution , at which he presided as Chairman ; the charges grew out of some disgraceful
circumstances that will probably hereafter be more fully entered into . How short-si ghted , however , are some folks ! they would have had a Chairman be the ringleader of confusion , instead of being the calm observer of decorum . The Treasurer , however , on promulgation of the sentence against him , immediately resigned his office , and a Special Meeting was called ; did any of the complainants attend
to face him?—NOT ONE ! He was unanimousl y re-elected to the office , which he thankfully accepted , as an indication that his conduct was approved ; and the other two Brethren received the warmest expressions of kindness from the meeting . We wish to write calmland temperatel
y y , and therefore suspend any expressions that might be misunderstood . In the name of every thing that is good , we invite all to the " Sacred Feast" on the 24 th of June ' , at Freemasons' Hall .
