no doubt , have been rejected as undeserving , but hese rejections only convinced the Committee of the evils of indiscriminate relief , and of the necessity Avhich exists for n thorough investigation into each particular case .
The relief extended by the Committee has hitherto been to parties in the loAver walks of life , n numerous small sums . There have been several exceptions to this rule , and these
exceptions the Committee trust will become less rare , as the Funds accumulate and their power of doing good is extended . By the introduction of a higher class of applicants into the benefits of
the Charity , the Committee believe much real good Avould be effected , and much more suffering relieved , where for every class , the accumulation of a capital Fund affords the only sure prospect of
steady and permanent relief . Like the Funds of a similar Institution , under Patronage of the Grand Lodge of England , the Committee of this Charity Avould wish to see its
revenues applied , not only as at present , in affording relief in small and numerous payments , however beneficial in many instances these have been , but also in relieving those who , although
occupying a higher position in society , are often from temporary and unexpected causes , involved in pecuniary difficulties of a most distressing nature . The annual income of the Fund , from its
commencement m 18 46 , to 30 th November , 1852 , Avill be seen b y the following statement of receipts - . — £ s . d .

Grand Lodge , and of all who have the good of Masonry and humanity at heart , in promoting the object in view . By adding to the numbers interested in this benevolent institution , and
especially by securing the sympathies of the " mason ' s wives , " who have so generously come forward to promote a charitable cause in its
iri' fancy , by giving , not merel y their names , but their poAverful influence , as Patronesses of the Balls alluded to , the Committee are sure that

W . Bevan Bennett , in the first style , and of course , gave universal satisfaction , as indeed his catering for the brethren ahvays does . During the evening , various toasts Avere proposed , and responded to , in a most felicitous
manner . The W . M . in proposing the Duke of Cornwall ( H . R . H . Prince of Wales ) , congratulated the Craft , on our Royal Brothers' restoration to

The W . Master on rising , was greeted Avith such loud and prolonged applause , that it Avas sometime before the hearty goodwill of the brethren could be for a time restrained from
outward expression , but at last the Avorthy Baronet , having secured a moments respite from such an enthusiastic ovation , stated that his zeal and fondness for Masonry Avas not in
any Avay diminished , but on the contrary , he believed it increased year by year . Since his installation in 1867 as W . M . of the Phoenix Lodge No . 331 , Truro , he had become
increasingly attached to the Craft , and he hoped and believed his love for the Order would continue throughout his life , ( cheers ) . He hoped he Avould long be spared to support these
noble Institutions , Avhich Avere an honour to our society , the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys and Girls , and Aged Freemasons and Widows , London , and about Avhich AVC are , as
Masons , justly proud . He had heard the brethren say that they thought it an act of kindness on his part to accept the Mastership of
