The Indian Famine Fund.
THE INDIAN FAMINE FUND .
It will be seen in another column that an Indian Famine Fund has been started , under the auspices of the Freemason , our publisher , with his wonted liberality , heading the list with the handsome sum of , £ 100 . One or two Lodge and individual subscriptions are also
announced , and we doubt not , that each succeeding week will witness an increase to this muchneeded Fund . Already the amount realised by the Lord Mayor ' s Fund has reached so far the noble total of over et ? 302 , coo , of which ^ 2 ^ 0 , 000 has been forwarded to India . Her Gracious Majesty
the Queen has , in the following communication to the Lord Mayor , expressed her warm approval of his most benevolent efforts and her heartfelt appreciation of the liberality of her people . We give the letter in extenso , yvhich was sent by telegram by the Home Secretary from Balmoral .
" Balmoral , p . j j a . m . " I am desired by Her Majesty the Queen to thank your Lordship for your telegram stating that the Indian Famine Fund now being raised at the Mansion-house already exceeds a quarter of a million sterling , and that your Lordship
hopes and believes that it will largely increase . Her Majesty feels deeply the readiness with which the sufferings of her people in India have touched the hearts of her people at home . " It would seem needless to commend the
matter to every Lodge of Freemasons , and we trust that each hebdomadal Freemason will demonstrate that our good brethren are still as ever , most susceptible to a proper claim on their warm beneficence and undoubted if unostentatious charity .

The Position Of Freemasonry In France And Belgium.
THE POSITION OF FREEMASONRY IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM .
We cannot shut our eyes if we would , and we ought not if we could , to the anomalous and unjust position in which Anglo-Saxon Masons are placed in France and Belgium by some recent and untoward proceedings , and a most regrettable decision . For they are unable now to
enter French and Belgium Lodges on their Masonic principles , and for this reason , the labours of those two jurisdictions are both un-Masonic and unhallowed . They neither begin nor end with prayer . The Bible is taken out of every lodge , and there is nothing to prevent positive unbelievers from being admitted
members of the Masonic Order . This , to use a French expression , is a " changement des decorations , " as undesirable as it is unfitting . Cosmopolitan Freemasonry has always rested on a great Theistic principle of reverence and religion , and now all of a sudden " nous avons change tout cela " and the name of God is neither
acknowledged , nor is his blessing invoked on the labours and the undertakings of Freemasonry in those countries . This in common parlance , " turning the tables " with a vengeance , and no Anglo-Saxon Freemason can witness such a result or hear of such proceedings without heartfelt
concern and fraternal disapproval . Is it not possible that under the sad and actual circumstances of the case , on the petition of respectable brethren , warrants might be granted as well by American Grand Lodges as our English Grand Lodges , for English and American
Masons to meet " more majorum" alike in France and Belgium ? The recent proceedings of the two Grand Orients have placed them , a 5 we regard the matter , outside the " -aegis" oi legal protection , and any rights they may have had as governing bodies , are now merged in the
