TO WORSHIPFUL MASTERS . The attention of Worship ful Masters is specially directed to the following advertisement , with a suggestion from the Publisher that they should cause a proposition to be made that their Lodges should become subscribers to

THE FOUR MASONIC PUBLICATIONS . It is doubtless desirable that every Mason should have a knowledge of the proceedings at the Quarterly Communications of Grand Lodge , and it is especially the duty of the Worshipful Master to be well posted up in such matters , andas there is no better means of obtaining such information than the columns of the Freemason , yvhich gives verbatim reports of the Grand Lodge proceedings , and a full account of all the meetings of the Board of Benevolence , and the various Committees of our Great Masonic Charities , the Publisher feels justified in making this recommendation , yvith the full assurance that such an investment of a small portion of the lodge funds yvill be productive of beneficial results .
