FUND FOR THE BENEFIT OFTHB WIDOW OF THE LATE W . BRO . J . R . STEBBING , P . G . D ( ENGLAND ) AND D . Prov . G . M . PRESIDENT . —Tha Right Worshipful W . W . B . BEECH , M . P ., Provincial Grand Master .

At a meeting of the Provincial Grand Lod ge , recently held at Landport , it was unanimousl y resolved that a Committee be appointed for the purpose of raising a fund , to provide a suitable memorial to our late deeply-lamented Bro . Stebbing ** .

In pursuance of the foregoing resolution , a meeting was held at Southampton , which was largely attended , when the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : — "That the Ledges and Chapters of the Province and Freemasons generally be solicited

to subscribe to a fund , to be appropriated ? s the Committee shall determine , for the benefit of the Widow of our late lamented Bro . J . R . Stebbing , whose circumstances at the time of his decease render this appeal absolutely necessary . "

" That copies of these resolutions be forwarded to each Lodge and Chapter in the Province , inviting their co-operation , as well as that of Brethren and Companions generally , in obtaining subscriptions to the fund . "

" That a circular stating the circumstances be also transmitted to all other Lodges and Chapters in England . " The name ofthe late Bro . J . 11 . Stebbing is so well known in all Masonic circles that it

seems unnecessary to set forth at length his long and valuable services . For many years he was a constant attendant at Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter , assisting the interests of the

Brethren , and Companions . He was Vice-President of the Board of General Purposes in in J 86 I , 1862 and 186 , 3 , and also an active member of the Building Committee of the present Freemasons' Hall , London .

He was rarely absent from the elections in the varions Charities , giving his valuable aid to the poor and distressed amongst the brethren and their relatives , contributing from his means to the advancement of those charities , in which

he had qualified as Vice-Patron of the Boys ' School , Life Governor of the Girls' School , and Life Governoi of the Uenevolent nstitutionj and it is sincerely hoped that the Widow of one

who was so actively engaged for the benefit of others ( herself a Life-Governor ol the Boys ' School ) should be placed in circumstances which will assist her in her present unexpected bereavement .

Subscriptions in aid of this fund may be transmitted to the Treasurer , Aldermoor House , near Southampton •or to his bankers , Messrs . Maddison , Atherly , Hankinson , and Darwin , Southampton . "W . HICKMAN , Treasurer . J . E . LE FEUVRE , Secretary
