of dividends from the funded property , with the annual subscriptions , are amply sufficient to support the Institution .

THE GIRLS' SCHOOL
The Committee for conducting the subscription for the portrait of Mrs . CROOK , have issued a well-written circular , addressed to the Masters of Lodges , which will be found in our advertising columns , to which we direct the attention of our readers ; reminding them , that as the object in view is to place in perpetuity before the daughters of Freemasons one of the brightest ornaments of her sex , they but do justice to themselves in profiting by the opportunity to do honour to the exemplary matron of the Institution .
Our attention has been called to the Quarterly Meeting of October last , whereat a scene took place which we hope will form an exception to a general rule ; an attempt was made to overrule the vote passed at the previous General Meeting , and the means taken were not very creditable to those engaged in the attempt ; a candid fair stand-up argument can be met with reason , perhaps conviction ; but in the case we
allude to , there was a want of courtesy , and an absence of justice . The worthy Secretary of the Institution need not be ashamed of his supporters , who , of necessity , should attend in January to record most energetically their opinion of him , and thereby support the best interests of the Institution . THE ROYAL MASONIC BENEVOLENT ANNUITY FUND ,
Proves how much needed it is ; the list of candidates fearfully out weig h the means at hand ; we trust the liberality of the Craft will devise some mode of supplying the deficiency . As one means we suggest that the Committee send a circular to every Lodge , either to subscribe annually , or the sum of 10 / . in perpetuity .
