Masonic Notes .

It will be seen from what we publish elsewhere as to the Agenda at the Quarterly Communication of United Grand Lodge on Wednesday next , that sundry matters , over and above what is ordinarily submitted to the brethren , will be brought under their consideration .

In the report of the Board of General Purposes , for instance , there is the announcement that the Assistant Grand Secretary , Bro . A . A . Pendlebury , has been compelled by the serious state of his health to tender his resignation of the office he has filled with so much ability since 1887 , and after a continuous service in the

Masonic Notes.

Grand Secretary ' s office of upwards of 30 years . To those who have had occasion to transact business at the head-quarters of the Craft in this country , the invariable courtesy [ and strict attention to duty which have characterised this officer are well known . Under these circumstances , we have no doubt that Grand Lodge will readily and unanimously adopt the

recommendation ot the Bo-ird as to his proposed retiring pension of ^ 400 per annum , while we are equally satisfied that he will take with him into his retirement the sympathy of the whole body of English Masons , and their sincere wishes both for his speedy restoration to health and a protracted enjoyment of the annuity to which , by the length and value of his services , he is so justly entitled .

* Among the other recommendations of the Board are certain amendments to existing Articles of the Book of Constitutions , which strike us as being not undesirable or unreasonable . Thus , as regards existing Rule 83 , which provides that Provincial and District Grand

Masters must have served five years to be entitled to past rank , the Board recommend that the qualifying period , while it remains as now in the case of Provincial Grand Masters , shall be reduced to three years in that of District Grand Masters . In existing Rule 87 , it is proposed to include a provision by which a District Grand Master , who is a Prince of the Blood Royal ,

may appoint a Pro District Grand Master , who shall take rank immediately before the Deputy District Grand Master ; while in Rule 262 , which provides for the Board of General Purposes meeting at 4 p . m ., it is proposed to alter this to 5 p . m . We do not think any question will be raised as to the propriety of these arrangements .

Item 8 is a proposal which was adopted at a special meeting on the 15 th ult . of the Governors and Subscribers of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , and which on Wednesday next will be submitted for the approval of Grand Lodge . The proposal is to the effect that present Rule ( of the Institution ) No . 23 shall be enlarged , so as to provide that the Master or

First Principal or other officers of a lodge , chapter , or Masonic society which shall contribute 100 guineas or 200 guineas to either the Male or Widows' Fund shall be a Vice-Patron or Patron—as the case may be—of the Institution , with all the rights and privileges now appertaining to a donor of either grade . The present rule provides only for Jodge or chapter Vice-Presidents .

* There is one Notice of Motion , by Bro . Richard Eve , P . G . Treasurer , relating to the Cambrian Lodge , No . 656 , Sydney , N . S . W ., with a view to ascertaining what , if any , steps have been taken by the Grand Secretary or Colonial Board with a view to giving effect to the resolutions passed by Grand Lodge on the

7 th June , 1893 , and , if necessary , to move that the Grand Secretary and Colonial Board be instructed to take the necessary steps to assist Lodge No . 6 5 6 , and that the Grand Master be respectfully invited to use his influence with the Grand Lodge of New South Wales in its behalf . We are curious to learn how Grand Lodge will deal with this matter , which is by no means free from difficulty .

* The number of new lodges for which the M . W . Grand Master has been pleased to grant Warrants since the September Communication is eight , namely ,

one to be located in London , two in the Provinces—Middlesex and Northants and Hunts—and five abroad , namely , one in Sind and one in Madras in the East Indies , and one in Bechuanaland and two in Cape Town in South Africa .

* * The nth Annual Report of the Cambridgeshire Masonic Charity Association , which was submitted to the Provincial Grand Lodge at its annual meeting on the 20 th ult ., and unanimously adopted , reflects the highest credit on this small but zealous Province .

Mainly , if not entirely , through its instrumentality . Cam . bridgeshire has been successful in contributing during the present year to our three Central Masonic Charities the very excellent sum of . £ 301 5 s ., while during the whole period of its existence , that is to say , from 1883 to 18 94 , both inclusive , it has been enabled to distribute amongst them no less than £ 3692 6 s . 6 d . This is a

large amount ( or a Province which numbers only six lodges , and we heartily congratulate the members on the success which has attended their efforts . We trust the Association may be maintained and even extended , so that while with the one hand it may assist our Institutions pecuniarily , with the other it may be enabled to secure votes enough to win the election of its candi . dates for the benefits of those Charities .
